"Don't hesitate to be an enemy of the world? Gilderoy, don't you want to—" Hermione was moved to the point where her heart almost melted, and then suddenly became uneasy: "Don't be like this, there will always be people who will reflect on it, it's not you who cares about it. All the people who are here are vicious and unforgivable."

"People are unpredictable, and I don't want to pin my hopes on all Death Eaters realizing their mistakes," Lockhart said firmly, "Okay, remember what I said, two newbies are already nearby Come on, get ready to start the test, I'll be around to protect you. Don't let the water go, the Auror's novice mission is not to let them pass, but to combat their arrogance!"

"Well, okay..." Hermione tried to say something, but had to give up when Harry and Ron were already nearby.

Lockhart got up and walked across the street, looking in the direction of Ron and Harry, who were already disguised. The two young people are already trying very hard to hide their breath, but under the deliberate induction of his unbelievably high magical affinity, there is still nowhere to hide.

——

Lockhart headed to his destination a block away, and later Hermione would circle a lot around his location before arriving where he was. In this way, the three young people are always inseparable from the range of their magical powers - as Voldemort said: any wizard who uses magic to enter a certain range will be quickly detected by himself...

Lockhart sat down on a bench by the side of the road.

In July, under the bright sunlight, he suddenly felt a little hot, so he raised his hand and gave himself a cooling spell.

The street in front of him was full of traffic, there were people walking dogs on the lawn of the park in the middle of the street in the distance, and a few children were playing... Lockhart was lying on the back of his chair, waiting for Hermione to arrive.

It was the afternoon time, and Lockhart sat for a while, feeling a little sleepy, and couldn't help closing his eyes and squinting for a while.

In the dream, Voldemort brought a group of Death Eaters to kill him again... He fought against him for hundreds of rounds, but he couldn't wait for reinforcements... Seeing that he couldn't support it...

"Gidro!"

Lockhart woke up and found Hermione sitting beside him.

"Ah, I'm sorry. It was so comfortable that I fell asleep." The peaceful scene in front of him was so fragile and illusory, and he couldn't be complacent... Lockhart wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at his watch. It's only half past one. "Well, what's up with the two lads?"

Harry and Ron were now back to their original appearances, looking at Hermione expectantly from their chairs.

"Hermione is amazing," said Harry. "One moment in front of me, and one moment she patted me on the back, scaring me to death!"

"I was standing on the side of the road. I didn't move," Ron complained, too. "Hermione just ran up and patted me on the back and said she found me!"

"We all suspect that she was changed by a professor!"

"They also learned to split up and cooperate with each other, and followed me all the way, but I still found them three times, Harry twice, Ron once!" Hermione said with some pride, and said to her two little friends, holding her chin up: "Now I'm sorry to say that I have mastered it."

"How did you find out, is it because we didn't use the compound decoction?" Ron asked eagerly, "But the professor told us that using a wand to transform is usually unrecognizable?"

"You two, go back and think about it. What's the problem!" Lockhart said. "I really can't think of how I was found out. I'll let Hermione tell you tomorrow."

"Oops, Hermione~" Ron asked impatiently, "Tell us now, or neither of us will be able to sleep tonight!"

"Cut, study the Auror Handbook if you can't sleep, don't play pity with me!" Hermione turned her head in disdain.

"Go back and study the Auror Handbook. It's all in it, but you forget it as soon as you put it into practice." Lockhart shook his head: "In two days. I'm going to examine your escape ability, until the full test is done. After one time, I will rush you to catch the dark wizard."

Ginny, after the Ministry of Magic was kicked out of the office by Lockhart. There was no action for a while. Lockhart thought she would make trouble, but she just looked at him hatefully when they had dinner together at the headquarters, which made Lockhart horrified and wondered what conspiracy was planning in her little head. trick.

At the end of July, the authentic Sorcerer's Stone was finally made by Snape, and Lockhart specially connected to the Floo network to Hogwarts for this purpose. Hurry up and pick up the goods in person - Snape didn't leave school for the summer because he was used to experimenting in his potions office.

"It was very successful." Principal Snape said, "The amount of cord blood provided by the horses is very sufficient, but the other raw materials are not enough. The first one I made was not perfect because of lack of proficiency, so I stayed. I used it myself, the remaining four, I dare not say that it is better than Lemay, at least it sells exactly the same, and the effect is exactly the same, you can take them all."

Lockhart looked at Snape's left arm, which had grown back, apparently Snape himself had tested the effect of the Philosopher's Stone.

There are four magic stones placed side by side on the table, three are larger, and one may be a little smaller due to insufficient raw materials.

Lockhart picked up one at random: translucent, you could feel the familiar aura coming from it when you held it in your hand, and when you stared at it, you could see the magnificent colors flowing inside. Yes, this is the magic stone.

With a little bit of magic power injected, Lockhart can clearly feel that the magic power in his body is slowly consuming, and the power of the curse has also weakened a little... No, Voldemort is still alive, he can't consume too much magic power!

Lockhart stopped and put the Philosopher's Stone in his hand and the other two larger ones on the table in his pocket: "I'll take three, two for two old guys who can help me deal with Voldemort, and one I keep it for myself."

"Whatever." Snape said nothing about this, waving away the last Philosopher's Stone. "The Dark Lord... that guy, when are you going to get him out and kill him?"

"If he doesn't come out, there's nothing I can do." Lockhart said helplessly, "Do you have any good ideas to force him out?"

"No, but I'm going to join the Auror or the Striker and spend the rest of my life chasing him," Snape said fiercely. "Only by killing him can I throw away the first half of my failed life and start a new one."

Lockhart frowned: "Did he stop you from starting a new life?"

"You said it lightly! Hurry up and get me a principal~lightnovelpub.net~ I don't want to stay in this ghost place!"

"Hogwarts is such a place with excellent scenery and environment, you actually call it a ghost place?" Lockhart showed a resentful expression: "Do you know how many people want this position but can't get it, now the wizard law It is stipulated that all wizards must go to school, that is to say, everyone in the wizarding world will be your student in the future! How influential this is!"

"Influence... I'm very rare?" Snape said coldly, "You can do what you like, this principal, don't put your ideas on me!"

"Okay, don't be arrogant, you go first, and one day I'll get you a suitable principal." Lockhart nodded helplessly, although he couldn't understand it, he had to accept that there are indeed some people in the world, and it's true I don't love fame or profit: "But now that Professor McGonagall is gone, it seems that no one is qualified to be this principal."

"Idiot, you can do it yourself. Although I am a little younger than me, my prestige and qualifications are enough."

"Let's talk about it when the time comes. Now that the Philosopher's Stone is in hand, I'm going to go back and urge the repair of the Floo Network." Lockhart said solemnly, "Send the two Philosopher's Stones out, and you'll be able to move those two. The old guy, as long as you find the trace of Voldemort, you can kill him."

"Call me when the time comes, and I will witness his death."

"... Try your best. If you want to leave Hogwarts now, live in London and don't go back to your own home." Lockhart nodded: "Then I'll go first."
