After saying goodbye to the magic historian, the group slipped out of the house in the dark, returned to their foothold outside the village, and got into the tent to start a discussion.

"Where did you get the news that someone was trying to kill her?" Blake asked suspiciously.

"Intuition..." Lockhart shrugged.

"Nothing, where to go next, what to do?" Albert asked, staring at Lockhart.

"I have no idea where to go, I have to ask the Savior where he wants to go, but what to do..." Lockhart handed Hermione the information Arthur had provided him, "Honey, let's see if there's a way to catch Mann. Jack's."

"Oh, good." Hermione took the note.

"Avenging Mad Eye?" Blake drank a sip of hot tea and asked lightly, "To be honest, I don't think killing him makes much sense. The mysterious man is the real murderer, and finding and destroying the Horcrux is the real business."

"Can you know who killed Uncle Gadwin?" Albert asked, "I want to avenge him too."

"There will be a chance, Albert." Lockhart comforted him, "Since we have no idea about how to deal with Horcruxes, we should just deal with a few Death Eaters first, preferably kill them at their homes, and then loot them by the way. Go around and see if the Horcrux is hidden in the homes of these well-known Death Eaters, it's quite possible."

"But there are so many Death Eaters, even if you count them with the Mark of the Darkness, you should have twenty or thirty." Black said, "If you want to search every family like this, a hundred lives won't be enough."

"Of course, so we can't do it again and again, avenge Mad-Eye first, and then we'll die for a while and figure out how to deal with the Horcrux." Lockhart agreed with his concerns. "Maybe consider going abroad..."

"It doesn't seem to be easy to handle. Manjik uses the fireplace to commute to get off work. Although he occasionally runs out, they have been a lot more careful since the last time the fake Lockhart was assassinated..." Hermione said, "and this This important Death Eater must be protected by the Bold Loyalty Charm..."

"Don't worry, think about it slowly," Lockhart said softly.

"It will be Christmas in two days." Albert suddenly said.

"Huh?" Lockhart was puzzled by his words: "Do you still think about Christmas?"

"Oh, yes! Albert reminded me. It will be Christmas in two days." Hermione's eyes widened and she said, "You must buy Christmas gifts at Christmas, so you must come out to Diagon Alley, If he wants to buy something that the wizarding world doesn't have, he might end up in a Muggle city..."

"Very good. Christmas is still two weeks away. I'll ask Arthur to pay more attention. Let's find out where the Manjik family's manor is. We can go there and stay there."

"Well." Hermione seemed to be frightened by herself: "My God, I am planning a murder with you!"

"Murder..." Harry was also shocked by the word. "Unconsciously, have we also become murderers like the mysterious man, why is this?"

"No one knows why this is happening, but that's the way it is in troubled times. Either you die or I die." Blake said with emotion: "Don't be soft-hearted, it's the best way to end the war as soon as possible."

"We're trying those murderers, how can Aurors kill Death Eaters as murder," Albert said. "If we all think of ourselves as rebels, then there's really no need to resist."

"Well, what about admitting it was murder. But I was forced," Lockhart said dismissively. "I don't care what people think of me, a hero of the rebellion or a murderer of panic, I just want to Do something to win the war, and avenge the comrades you care about."

"No, Gilderoy, you will always be a hero in my heart." Hermione hurriedly put her arm around him, comforting him softly.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's have some supper and rest." Lockhart ended everyone's conversation naturally. "When you figure out the address of the Manjik family, go to squat him."

After he got up from the bench, he suddenly thought of Moody again unconsciously. In the past at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, he always announced the end of the meeting, but now it is finally his turn, whether he admits it or not. He seems to be the new leader of the Order of the Phoenix now - Dumbledore and Moody are dead, the older McGonagall is fighting the Death Eaters at school to protect the students, Hagrid, Lupin and Black are all with him The same or even worse leadership, Snape is... not to mention.

——

The next day, Lockhart had asked Arthur to start helping the Chamanjik family's address because it was protected by the Faithful Charm. Knowing the address can't do anything to them, plus the Manjik family is also an old wizard family, their address shouldn't be an important secret.

Now just wait for Arthur's news. Lockhart is sitting in a chair, writing and drawing in his notebook. He is used to discussing with people or listening to the plan above. Now he decides to assassinate a Death Eater alone. You have to plan well, and you can't go wrong.

Hermione, Harry and Albert are reading the book "The Deepest Dark Wizard: The Life of Dumbledore". While watching, he was still discussing in an uneasy and low voice.

When Lockhart looked up and saw their appearance, he couldn't help reminding them: "Everyone, that book was edited by Rita Skeeter under the control of the Death Eaters, and it is not very reliable."

Harry looked up at him and hesitated.

"But there is a source and a basis for everything in this book..." Albert said. "It still looks like that."

"As far as I know her, Gilderoy..." Hermione looked very sad, "Rita she never made anything out of nothing, she just took it out of context and distorted people's understanding... but a lot of things written in the book are subversive. improved our understanding of the principal."

"Oh?" Black said, "Then don't look at it, I choose to trust Dumbledore unconditionally anyway."

"No, escaping is not a good way. Let me see what is written in the book." Lockhart closed his notes, walked behind the three young people, and studied the book that blackened Dumbledore together.

"The principal was born in a pure-blood family, which is nothing, and most pure-blood wizards are good people." Hermione introduced to Lockhart what they had just read: "But the book says his father Percival Dumbledore Lido was a staunch anti-Muggle who had brutally attacked three young Muggles, and the incident caused a lot of uproar, and he was betrayed for life in Azkaban. Then Rita said that Dumbledore was actually an anti-Muggle at heart. Activists--"

"Hey—my parents are both anti-Muggleists, and I'm not with you guys fighting against You-Know-Who. This is a baseless inference." Black said disdainfully: "Everyone is an independent individual, Why should he be involved in his father's business?"

"We all understand what you're saying, but there's more..." Hermione said with a frown, "Headmaster Dumbledore has a sister named Ariana—the tombstone we saw in the cemetery last night. The book says she is a Squib, and the whole family including the principal is ashamed of her, keeping her at home and not letting her come out to see people..."

"Impossible, we heard the name Ariana from Dumbledore, remember after we destroyed that ring Horcrux, Gilderoy." Black said to Lockhart, "Headmaster has been saying that name, it seems It's very emotional."

"The book says that Ariana was later killed by Dumbledore in an accident, and for this reason he and his brother fought at the funeral." Harry couldn't help but speak: "The source is Bathilda. . Bagshot, and Ms. Basilda did not deny the book to us last night."

"What does that mean? There are three kinds of Squibs—inadequate magic, not enough magic to use any spells; lack of affinity, with enough magic to cast spells, but too low affinities to cast extremely weak spells; and Just like Ariana, because of what the three young Muggles did terrifyingly, she left a psychological shadow, her magic power was always out of control and she couldn't cast spells... Her magic power was out of control and even accidentally killed her mother Now," Lockhart said. "They moved and kept Ariana out of the house just to protect other people, because they weren't ashamed of her!"

"Oh, how do you know so much? Then maybe you're telling the truth..." Hermione said, "But, why are Dumbledore and Grindelwald friends? Look here - Dumbledore and the famous The German dark wizard Grindelwald established an abnormal friendship since he was a child. They discussed the unification and **** of the world together, which set off the Second World War... Until he found out that something was wrong~lightnovelpub.net~The director was not directed. A stunning duel between black and white wizards, and finally Dumbledore made him the first white wizard in Britain to continue their plan to unify the world..."

"It's all nonsense. Grindelwald's transformation into a dark wizard has a half-money relationship with Dumbledore. Who hasn't been young and frivolous, isn't his friend a dark wizard, he must not be a good person."

Lockhart is angry, he is really angry, if people like Dumbledore will be pulled out and blackmailed after death, the key is that the people closest to him believe it, then it is better than himself. What about Dumbledore's more unbearable past? Although Dumbledore's past is complicated and tragic, it is only controversial; as for himself, although the bad things he has done are not big, they are indisputable villainy behavior and naked bullying. I'm afraid there won't be much controversy.

"Headmaster how many times has he had the chance to become Minister of Magic, but gave up, if he really wants to unite with Grindelwald and rule the world, become British Minister of Magic and then control the Muggle government and Germany's dark wizard cooperation is not early Victory? Do you think that the sorcerers from the Soviet Union and the United States can deal with the alliance between Germany and the United Kingdom? As long as the Chinese hermits still do not attack, no one can stop the alliance between Grindelwald and Dumbledore. changed!"
