"After sending her to school, I'm going to talk to the centaurs about joining forces." Lockhart finished drinking the milk in front of him, "then come back, we'll have a few days of battle training, and we're ready to start."

"Hmm." Sirius asked, "Do you think centaurs can talk so well?"

"I'll convince people—let's go." Lockhart grabbed Ginny's arm to prevent her from wrapping herself in Hermione again.

"Oh." Ginny meekly followed him out of the Shell Cottage.

They Apparated to Hogsmeade, and Ginny, who was out of sight, caught him again, nearly tearing the Invisibility Cloak off her head. After finally explaining the situation to Aberforth, he took her back to the Response Room quietly through the Pig's Head Bar, and she even jumped on her and asked to do more intimate things.

"There's no one here—"

"I want to do business, do you understand!" Lockhart said with a stern face, "Now, go back to the Gryffindor lounge and get ready for the next class. When things are over, you can do whatever you want. "

"Okay, then it's settled!" Ginny said excitedly, and ran out of the Response Room obediently.

——

What a liar, I'll let Snape seal the seal when it's over, and you stay at Hogwarts until the medicine runs out!

By the way, since we're here, let's find two girls to **** up all the blood that should be sucked in the past two days, and then go to the centaurs.

——

Half an hour later, Lockhart left the campus contentedly through the side entrance of Hogwarts, drinking full of blood, especially the blood of the first-class little witch, which not only improved his control over his body, but also made him feel happy.

Negotiations with the centaurs will also go well.

There's no reason not to go well.

If not, use force.

hey-hey.

Lockhart first looked over the habitat of the unicorn couple, who were still in good condition, the husband watching over the wife. Lockhart left with satisfaction and flew deeper into the Forbidden Forest.

It is difficult to find the leader of the centaurs in the vast forest, but it is easy to find one and let him take him to Maguren. Soon, the leader of the Order of the Phoenix had another successful meeting with the centaur leader.

——

"What's the matter. That unicorn is at least a month away from birth." Ma Guoren made no secret of his disapproval of Lockhart. "We'll get cord blood for you then."

"Oh, that's not in a hurry," Lockhart said calmly. "Tsk, you don't even have a place to sit here."

"The centaurs live. They die standing," said a young centaur bluntly.

"Oh, there are ideals and ambitions." Lockhart was in a good mood and ignored him, "Ma Guoren. I suggest you drive away the centaurs next to you. There are some things I want to talk to you only."

"Let's go away." Ma Guoren said without hesitation, if the wizard in front of him was going to be unfavorable to him, the guards would not be able to stop him.

The centaurs left their leader's side, leaving Margoren and Lockhart looking at each other.

"Please allow me to sit and talk." Lockhart waved his elder wand, and a sapling burst out of the ground behind his heels and quickly grew into a chair. He sat down and leaned comfortably on it.

"What the **** is going on?" Ma Guoren was shocked by this hand again, and his four hoofs almost subconsciously paced left and right.

"The next thing I'm going to discuss. It's about the future fate of the centaurs," Lockhart said. "And this—"

"The fate of the centaurs is in the hands of the centaurs!" The other party interrupted him unceremoniously.

"What are you anxious about? I didn't say it's in my hands. It depends on your decision." Lockhart had already made a decision in his heart. Although he had never used Imperius on creatures other than wizards, it wasn't too much of a difference. As for the centaurs' anger after the fact, that's another consideration.

"Let's hear it." Ma Guoren endured his impatience.

"I'm ready to deal with that monster whose name can't be said," Lockhart said slowly and clearly, "but there may be someone in my plan. I hope you centaurs can lend a helping hand and help me protect me. Students at Hogwarts—"

"Protect students?" Ma Guoren sneered: "Wizard, you are treating centaurs as fools again. The professors at Hogwarts are so powerful. You actually need us from outsiders to protect the cubs for you? And you deal with that devil, What does it have to do with the students in the school? I'm afraid your plan is not simple, and the enemy is not small."

"Oh, I like to deal with smart people like you. I can never take advantage of you, but I don't have to talk too much." Lockhart said. "It's inconvenient to reveal the plan to you, but it is true that there will be many enemies attacking Hogwarts. As long as you are willing to help, after we win the war, not only will the previous policy towards the centaurs be restored, but even more..."

"For example, I asked Hogwarts to relocate the school site and give the centaurs all the area within a hundred miles as territory. Can you agree?" The centaurs looked at Lockhart with their arms crossed.

"If Hogwarts wasn't here, who would drive away the Muggles for you? You made such a request, and you never thought I would agree to it." Lockhart shook his head, "Your attitude is very bad, It doesn't look like he wants to talk at all."

"Why should I be willing to talk, centaurs don't participate in infighting between wizards!"

"You don't want to participate in the infighting of the wizards, but the wizards will come to deal with you after the infighting - what is the Ministry of Magic doing to you now? You know it well, you are not opponents of the Death Eaters, so you are not willing to resist, I can understand ." Lockhart said with a regretful tone, the magic power has quietly enveloped the other party. "But now there are some people who are willing to stand up and take the lead in resisting the Death Eaters, and even some people are willing to face the devil head-on. You are still standing by, waiting until all the resistance forces disappear and the butcher knives of the Death Eaters fall on your heads. Are you willing to struggle?"

"This is just your guess, why did the Death Eaters deal with us?"

"Then why did they change their policies towards you and compress your living space? Many things do not require a reason to convince everyone. They, together with the human hemp wizards, can slaughter without mercy, you can guarantee that They will not deal with you when they have nothing to do in the future?" Lockhart asked back, "We are different, although I don't like your centaurs, at least the Order of the Phoenix I belong to is a wizarding organization that is friendly to muggles, goblins and centaurs. , to help us win the war is to be responsible for your own survival and reproductive security."

"Hmph, it sounds like it's the same as the truth, but with just a few words, you want us to join another equally dangerous war in advance in order to avoid the danger that has not yet come?" Ma Guoren still shook his head, "Also, you Do you think you can defeat that devil?"

"Of course I can't make you my helper with just a few words. I am willing to give a guarantee that after the war is over, the wizarding law will be rewritten, and the centaurs will be eligible to participate in the formulation of laws related to yourselves, how?" Te said with a smile, "As for whether you can defeat the mysterious man, what do you think—

Ma Guoren stared at Lockhart for a while, then chose to believe him.

"We have no interest in participating in the creation of wizarding law, but there are a few requirements," he began. "First of all, I hope that centaurs can become a creature of the same level as a wizard, rather than an animal in "Fantastic Creatures", which is not too much."

"Not too much." Lockhart nodded. "The Centaur Liaison Office of the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures will become part of the Department of Magical Communication and Cooperation."

"I also demand that the Forbidden Forest be designated as centaur territory, and that human wizards are prohibited from entering."

"It's unlikely, but both sides can take a step back," Lockhart shook his head. "The Forbidden Forest has become an exclusive reservation for centaurs, wizards are not allowed to enter without saying hello, and wizards and centaurs will remain friendly to each other. , attacking each other will be considered a crime, wizards attacking centaurs will be brought back to trial by the Ministry of Magic, and centaurs attacking wizards will also be punished by the centaur leader, and the results must be reported to each other, how."

"Yes." Ma Guoren was very satisfied with this, "Then, how do you need me to help you~lightnovelpub.net~ On April 30th, the Savior will lead the members of the Order of the Phoenix to retake Hogwarts, I want you in Hogwarts After Gwarts declares his fight against the Ministry of Magic, lead the centaurs who can fight and join the Hogwarts defense."

"Are you going to deal with the devil elsewhere?"

"You can guess, at least I guarantee he won't need your centaurs to deal with." Lockhart stood up, waved his wand again, and the chairs continued to grow, and soon became a straight tree. "The vice-principal of Hogwarts will negotiate with you on specific matters. Oh... I also have a small request, since centaurs and human wizards are friendly, then Firenze—"

"He will be re-accepted by the clan."

"Okay, then it's almost time to say goodbye," said Lockhart, "but at the end I have to remind myself that I'm a very superstitious..."

"I know what you're trying to say. If your plan leaks ahead of time or there's an accident in the execution, you'll blame the centaurs, right?" Ma Guoren said angrily, "a senseless threat, centaurs. no sooner said than done!"

"You are too powerful, Mr. Ma Guoren, I almost believe that there can be prophets among centaurs." Lockhart easily concealed his embarrassment. "Goodbye then."

"No delivery!"

——

It has been a few days since he discovered the magical effect of momentum, and he is now more proficient in using it, and doing these things is as easy as grasping it.

But Lockhart knew in his heart that this ability could not help him defeat Voldemort, because the opponent's momentum was likely to be stronger than himself.

It seemed that all preparations were done now. Next, he only needed to meet Snape to discuss some things in person, and then he could quietly wait for the battle to retake the Ministry of Magic to begin.
