In order to give these gradually idle Ministry staff something to do, so that they don't think about it all day, Lockhart held several internal meetings and arranged the next stage of work:

1. Continue to follow the original plan, use regulations and benefits to guide or tempt the wizards to register their data, and restore the order to the pre-war state as soon as possible.

2. The enemy will not move and I will not move. Keep the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts well. As long as the internal tendencies and loyalty audits are correct, no matter how big the enemy's conspiracy is.

3. The Department of Mysteries quickly developed anti-radiation magic under the guidance of Muggle scientists. After success, it sent people to dig out the energy supply core deep underground. Lockhart asked the construction crew to work hard to restore the defense and Floo network as soon as possible.

4. Arrange the wizard rank exam to ensure that it ends smoothly.

The Dark Lord took all the Death Eaters and did not show up for a long time. After the initial panic, the mood of the people gradually stabilized, and the restoration of order accelerated again. The wizards who started to come to sign up to join the Ministry of Magic were in short supply. Gradually it was relieved, and the fled strikers saw that the war seemed to be over, and they turned themselves in and asked for pardon.

Coupled with the smooth implementation of the new wizarding laws, the Muggle government's special funds for wizards and the proceeds from the search of Gringotts have made the funds more abundant than ever. Lockhart and Sirius not only filled up all the money lent to the Ministry of Magic, but even made a small profit from their own pockets. Neutral wizards also began to join Hitters and Aurors under the huge welfare and temptation.

With the expansion of the law enforcement team, the Ministry of Magic has begun to plan to send wizards to reopen branches across the country... If the plan is not unexpected, when the advanced wizard level examinations in June this year are over, a new batch of Aurors and jobs will be added. personnel, you can restart the Floo network and completely restore the order of the wizarding world.

Pandora also returned to Hogwarts, and when Lockhart greeted Headmaster Snape and Headmaster Slughorn and Lupin, she and Hermione had little chance of contact. But the latter apparently came to the conclusion that she did not accept sharing a husband with herself by observing Pandora's words and deeds, and often contacted Lockhart on a note. The lines are filled with pride.

Speaking of Hogwarts, after the secret passage to the Response Room was closed, the aphrodisiac Ginny finally couldn't run around anymore, and could only pitifully harass Lockhart with notes all day long. As long as he responds with a few words, he can ignore the message sent by the little witch.

A few weeks later, new power lines for the Ministry of Magic's defenses have been reconnected to the crystal, and the restoration of the Floo network is just around the corner. Over time since the return of peace, the group of Death Eaters behind bars includes wizards convicted of assisting the Death Eaters during the war. The attitude of the people has also gradually changed - the arrested wizards have gradually changed from "the Dark Lord's followers and accomplices" to "those who have been deceived or coerced by the Dark Lord to go astray".

Undoubtedly, the Aurors and the Order of the Phoenix who were directly involved in the war were not among those who had healed their scars and forgot the pain. The top officials of the Ministry of Magic are all unified: even if these Death Eaters are really "not bad by nature", it is the same as judging whether a person is a hero - whether to be punished is never based on good or bad nature, but whether it is true or not. commit crime.

Annoying things don't just come from the enemy - the news that Lockhart killed a large number of "resistors" in the process of arresting the Death Eater family around London caused an uproar - although he did not let go, but The people are not fools: It is understandable for the Death Eaters to resist arrest.

Even if he resists arrest, with Lockhart's strength to defeat the Dark Lord. Can't you catch them alive instead of killing them all?

Lockhart's image in the eyes of the public has also gradually changed in the debate. From the beginning "the savior's mentor", "the hero who defeated the Dark Lord", gradually turned into a "heady killer".

After a string of positive titles over the years, Lockhart has finally acquired a negative nickname: "The White Devil." It means that although he is standing opposite the Dark Lord, his behavior is similar to that of the other party.

Naturally - those Death Eaters who were ordered to be imprisoned in the Ministry of Magic's prison by the "White Devil" were transformed into poor people who were persecuted for their wrong siding.

Lockhart did not give any response to these messy opposition and controversy from the outside world, and even didn't bother to let Rita guide public opinion. Because these ordinary wizards make a lot of trouble, it is impossible when the middle and upper officials of the Ministry of Magic are all Aurors and the Order of the Phoenix. Remove him or something.

Killing one person is a murderer. Killing dozens or hundreds is called a murderer~lightnovelpub.net~ Killing thousands... is called a male, killing hundreds of millions - only a man's hand and a woman can do it. All this mess right now. Lockhart felt that it was simply because he had not killed enough people. He also knew that he was a little out of control that day, and he didn't need to do it himself to kill these people, so he would fall into the hands of others. Now he has the power and strength, and there are many ways to retaliate... But the mistakes he made are irreversible. Fortunately, now No one is qualified or able to judge himself.

The wizarding exam is finally over. At the end of June, when Hogwarts was on holiday, most of the students went to join their parents who had moved to London. Only a few who were unwilling to move their nests returned to their remote homes under the **** of a Ministry of Magic hitman.

The members of the Order of the Phoenix were finally able to gather again in an open and fair manner. On the night of the Hogwarts holiday, all the core members of the Order of the Phoenix had a dinner together in Grimmauld Place—because the Floo network had not been restored, so everyone either lived at the headquarters, or Live at the Ministry of Magic, and dare not leave London to go home (fortunately the Black family's house is big enough) to celebrate the graduation of the Salvation Trio.

The aphrodisiac effect in Ginny finally weakened and disappeared two weeks before the holiday. As a client, Lockhart naturally had the most intuitive experience: Ginny stopped harassing him with notes a few days ago. When the Burrow met, they didn't jump on him like crazy. Instead, his face flushed slightly, and he glanced at him with sexy, bright brown eyes, not sure if he was annoyed by Lockhart for giving him aphrodisiacs, or if he was being taken advantage of.

Lockhart just felt relieved about this. Ginny was a very flattering girl, but the appearance of drinking an aphrodisiac was really disgusting, so it's better to be normal.
