"But almost all of the Order of the Phoenix will come over by then. If your Death Eaters are too unbearable, even a few can't hold back, will they all attack you?" Lockhart shook his head, "I'm taking no unnecessary risks now. I don't want to take any risks, the safer the better..."

"You're taking a risk by telling her about it," Snape said resentfully. "She doesn't know Occlumency."

"I will, but I'm not as proficient as you are," McGonagall said. "If what you're saying is true, I'll keep Occlusion the whole time from now on. But it's not that I underestimate the enemy, there isn't a single Death Eater at Hogwarts. Can Legilimency on me—"

"It's good for you to know alone. When Harry brings the Order of the Phoenix in, you jump out and fight Severus one-on-one, and he will lose and leave the school..."

"It's superfluous." McGonagall said, "Can't you just leave."

"We don't know if there are any hidden little Death Eaters among the students in the school who have to let Severus want to fight before leaving—" Lockhart explained, "Severus told me that the Dark Lord forbade him to leave. School."

"Yes, after I leave school, I want to cooperate with Gilderoy and lure the Dark Lord to deal with him..." Snape said, "The Dark Lord hates his subordinates who don't obey orders, even if it's the wrong order, or for any reason. No way... So I can't do anything against his orders before I completely turn my face, I have to maintain a state of being trusted by him - so, just know this for yourself, Minerva, don't tell anyone, There are many people in the school, and the more people I know, the more dangerous I am."

"How do you want to deal with You-Know-Who?" Although Mag was still vigilant at this time, he had already believed most of it: even if Lockhart's strength had not changed at all during the six months he had escaped from the school, he and Snape would join forces to deal with her It's all easy, and there's no need to make up a bunch of nonsense to try to paralyze her.

"We're just about to discuss the details, and you can help us check and see if there are any loopholes or areas for improvement." Lockhart said that he could have asked Hermione to help with ideas, but when she heard that she wanted to Go crazy with the mysterious man.

"I don't know what good plans he has either." Snape also turned to look at Lockhart.

"The plan is pretty much the same as yours," Lockhart said. "The only change is that I've embedded it in a larger plan. The Order of the Phoenix takes Hogwarts on the night of the thirtieth. The Ministry of Magic should Respond immediately, but shouldn't attack overnight - after all, we have Slytherin students hostage, and as long as Harry doesn't show up in front of each other, they shouldn't attack immediately. That's why I told Harry not to immediately Outcropping. Reason for not coming forward until professors and students and even elves are needed to guard the school."

"I see what you mean," McGonagall said. "I won't have Harry in front of everyone until the Death Eaters start attacking Hogwarts."

"And when Severus is 'slipped' off by you, he and I will pick a place away from Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic, and notify You-Know-Who there. The Savior has been caught by him—"

"So that's another reason why Harry can't be seen right away?" McGonagall understood immediately.

"That's right, after You-Know-Who is lured by us, we'll find a way to deal with the snake named Nagini, one of his last two Horcruxes - if he really keeps taking it with him, as Seaver said. It's your word," Lockhart said, "and maybe even fight him..."

"This is the same as what I said before. You haven't explained a lot of things - if we can't beat it, how should we escape, whether to set some traps..."

"We'll discuss, the dagger is still there, give it to me first." Lockhart nodded, "I'll be Harry by then. Pretend to be subdued by Severus, and all Severus has to do—is Convince the mysterious man not to kill me directly, but to let that snake bite me."

"Bite you?" McGonagall couldn't understand. "What does this have to do with destroying the Horcrux?"

"You have to get close to the snake to attack it, the spell doesn't work on it."

"The Dark Lord becomes very talkative when he's in a good mood..." Snape opened a drawer on his desk, frowning uncertainly, "but this state is very unstable, and in a nutshell, it's moody."

"He's impermanent and let him go. I'm going with you this time to meet your willful demands." Lockhart doesn't care, "We have you as our inner responder, and we can use many safer methods to On May 1st, the mysterious man was temporarily distracted, such as attracting him to go abroad. But he chose the most risky one: calculating with him. If he does not let the snake bite me as he imagined, then Just start the fight, if you can beat it, you will be beaten to death, if you can't beat it, you will drag it to 8:59, or even fifty-nine seconds, and Apparate away."

"He wouldn't be chasing anyone abroad at a critical moment like this...and if he couldn't deal with him together. He'd be calling a lot of Death Eaters to kill a carbine - you see the Dark Lord is taking over the Ministry of Magic. When the time came, it was calculated together with Dumbledore." Snape took out the dagger from a pile of things in the drawer and threw it over, "Why is it eight fifty-nine, what is the special meaning of this time? ?"

"That's what they did with the defenses of the Ministry of Magic in ambush, guaranteed to beat Dumbledore... You think, what would happen if Dumbledore defeated the Dark Lord in that battle? ' Lockhart asked, raising his hand to catch the dagger. "And the reason why it has to be 8:59 is because the Ministry of Magic's energy supply system will be cut off on time at 9 o'clock. If the two of us can't beat the mysterious man, and we can't Apparate and leave before this time, then You can't run away, you can only sacrifice heroically."

"But why should you two deal with the mysterious man, can't you be together?" McGonagall asked, "We can still help—"

"We don't have enough people," Lockhart explained. "All the members of the Order of the Phoenix and a large number of helpers seem to be powerful, but the average strength is not strong. Only by relying on the school can we contain a large number of Death Eaters and strikers, plus Sif and I to lure away the mysterious man. Everything is to ensure that in the third more important place - the battlefield of attacking the Ministry of Magic, our Aurors can be in absolute superiority in terms of quantity and quality of troops, and quickly capture the Ministry of Magic in a short period of time."

"The Dark Lord's presence at either Hogwarts or the Ministry of Magic would have fatal consequences," Snape said. "Gildrow's plan should have been for the battle at the Ministry to end quickly... After the news reached the ears of the attackers who attacked Hogwarts, this group of people quickly lost their will to fight, leaving only the Death Eaters to resist. But if the Dark Lord appeared on the battlefield, it would boost the morale of the enemy. On our side, if it were not for the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors, who stood firm, they would not be able to exert their full strength because of fear."

"Yes, You-Know-Who does have that kind of intimidation and prestige, I don't," Lockhart said. "Only Dumbledore beat him in the world, and Harry killed him once, but he was after In the several battles facing the mysterious man, I didn’t show the ability that the savior should have, and they all just barely escaped under the cover of others—”

"If you can defeat him in front of everyone, you will instantly have greater prestige than him," McGonagall said.

"The point is that we can't guarantee that we can defeat him. Even the mysterious man himself... is obviously stronger than Dumbledore. When he was determined to deal with Dumbledore, he dared to set a trap for the Ministry of Magic..." Lockhart shook his head. "In the past two years, every time I made a judgment like 'how many people should be able to deal with him' or 'this time should be able to deal with him', he would immediately jump out and slap me in the face. Crazy eye ...and even killed more than two dozen Aurors, including himself, for similar misjudgments. So, since I was last 'killed', I swear I never thought about it again." Lockhart Secretly clenched his fists. "Severus thinks that my strength is similar to that of You-Know-Who, but I have to assume that he has something behind. At the same time, because of my sudden increase in strength, I can't compare to him in terms of fighting skills and trump cards—"

"You can set some traps at the ambush site."

"I once thought this way, but after reaching the realm where the mysterious man and I are now, the wizard's perception of magic power fluctuations and danger will be extremely acute. Only actions without hostility and any magic power will make the sneak attack successful--" Lockhart Whether it was Zhang Jianshuo grabbing his arm suddenly, or Jinny's hug, Tetsu didn't have any pre-judgment beforehand, because neither of them had any hostility~lightnovelpub.net~ and didn't use magic. "The mysterious man has no reason to fight like Dumbledore. With his temper, if he finds something wrong, he will leave instantly, and what a trap without hostility and magic power fluctuations looks like... I really can't imagine, although I know Ma Melon has a powerful enough weapon to probably kill him, but the consequences are too great...not an option yet."

"Well, then Professor McGonagall, do you have any other suggestions?" Snape asked.

"Severus was kicked out of Hogwarts by me, and then caught the Savior on the way to escape? It's a bit too coincidental." McGonagall was completely relaxed, and even changed the name of Snape.

"Indeed, this is the only place where this plan may be flawed." Lockhart admitted, "but I have no better way. Do you have any good ideas."

"You can be in another place first, disguised as Harry, and let other Death Eaters find out—" Mag frowned, the lines on his forehead were straightened. "And then after escaping Hogwarts, Severus ran to that place and caught the Savior..."

"It seems like a good idea. I'm worried about what to do if the Order of the Phoenix takes over the school and the Mysterious Man personally brings people to attack..." Lockhart said, "Let's pick a place first, and I'll go there and make some The news of the Savior's activities attracts the attention of You-Know-Who-then after you leave Hogwarts, go to the place where we agreed, catch me, and then summon You-Know."

"Okay, then pick a place." Snape took out the map from the drawer again, opened it and let it float in the air. "To stay away from London and Hogwarts, there are two options, near Manchester in between, or the most northerly part of Scotland—"
