Although Lockhart felt that the trivial matter of a prince's fracture should not have to come forward, the Prime Minister thought of himself first when he wanted to solve the problem, which shows that people have developed some psychological dependence on him, and he should not let the other party. It is better to have a withdrawal reaction.

So he simply prepared a big gift---a gift from the Extraordinary Apothecary Association

Here comes the wizard's daily medicine pack.

In addition to common medicines such as cold medicine, wound medicine, eye drops, gastrointestinal medicine, and sleeping pills, this medical bag also contains some brain-refreshing agents, nourishing agents, and traditional Chinese medicine. I believe the other party will definitely use it.

However, when he sent the medicine package over, the Prime Minister did not rush to find the prince with the medicine, but asked Lockhart about "visiting the Queen".

Lockhart did not expect that the Prime Minister would be more anxious than himself, and more importantly, he had not heard of any major incidents in Britain recently.

After a little thought, Lockhart guessed the Prime Minister's mind.

"If you're worried that our wizards will be bad for the government, then you don't have to be so circumspect," Lockhart said candidly, "because this is likely to happen in the future."

Major didn't expect Lockhart to speak so clearly.

He laughed lightly: "You must be joking, right? What conflict can we have? We've been working well so far, we've all gotten what we wanted, I can't think of it. …”

"Because there are indeed wizards and wizards whose political views are to rule Muggles, even though they are out of power right now," Lockhart said.

Major's laughter came to an abrupt end.

"Is that the pure blood you said last time?"

"Not all, in fact, the vast majority of pure blood families are neutral, some are firmly opposed, and some are in favor, but if the current situation continues, neutral families are likely to turn to the model of ruling England with wizards ."

Lockhart was deliberately alarmist, trying to scare the Prime Minister, but for some reason, the Prime Minister reacted quickly this time, and he didn't even plan to give up.

"Maybe we can help...you know, I'm responsible for the people of the UK," hinted Major.

Lockhart finally understands that the Prime Minister seems to be planning to do whatever it takes today.

Interfere with wizard affairs.

If it were the average person, he would probably wonder if the Prime Minister knew something, but Lockhart did not think so.

Because he is very aware of the British government's diplomatic style, or internal standard procedures.

The more they don't know it: the more they act like they know everything, making the other person suspicious. On the contrary, when they really know, they will pretend to be confused with a calm attitude.

Whether he was angry or hesitant, Major could hear the details of some wizards from his own reactions. Even if he is really angry, the Prime Minister only needs to make another "sincere apology" to eliminate the impact, and then it will be himself who will be at fault.

Otherwise, how can you play politics if you have a city government?

Thinking of this, Lockhart was not in a hurry.

He sat graciously opposite the Prime Minister, not only did he not look angry or dissatisfied, but even had a look of nostalgia on his face.

No matter what other people think about political struggles, Lockhart really likes this interesting game anyway. A bigwig in a big eastern country once said that "fighting with people is a lot of fun", and that's probably what he was talking about.

"Very good that you finally feel responsible to us, which is a welcome development," Lockhart encouraged the Prime Minister, "so that we can begin the second phase of the process."

Lockhart's reaction was also far beyond the Prime Minister's expectations. His own troublesome temptation became the other party's plan. Major was completely unprepared for this, and he didn't even know how to proceed.

…I hope you understand that all I want is peace of mind. "He had to

Say.

"I understand what you mean." Lockhart calmly took the initiative to negotiate back into his hands, "Considering the level of understanding and trust between our two parties, I think some measures that hurt feelings can be suspended. Now, when the time is right, I will tell you most of your concerns."

"Oh? When?"

Major found that his attitude seemed to be a little too weak, so he quickly corrected it.

"I'm not complaining about anything, but we're already overwhelmed just to help you hide your existence. Like your wanted criminal, that car flying in the sky, areas that can never be mapped in the Scottish Highlands, and an inch of land that can't be mapped. Charles Cross Street is always missing a piece...you know what I mean."

"I see," Lockhart said quietly, "so we're trying to take some more responsibility as well."

Major hit the snake and followed the stick: "What responsibility? I'm not talking about oil and medicine, you know, that can only be regarded as a win-win benefit."

"Isn't it enough to provide medical care for the royal family?" Lockhart sighed. "Though those people have been telling me that Muggles are greedy, I have always refused to believe it, because I am also half Muggle blood. ."

"Of course not." The Prime Minister finally found the opportunity to make his claim. "Although I tried my best to say to those departments that they don't need to worry, but ... hearing is false, seeing is believing, right?"

"You mean if we want to normalize this relationship, we have to show more sincerity?" Lockhart asked.

"Of course, of course!" said the Prime Minister loudly, waving his hands. "We have no intention of being unfriendly. It's just that honesty is good for both of us."

"So, what do you want?" Lockhart asked patiently.

"That competition...that competition called the Big Five Championship, the second event was held

I want to take the time to go to the scene to have a look. "

"No problem, as long as you want."

"Bring one more person by the way."

Lockhart smiled: "I guess that must be a seasoned security expert...

I can agree to your request, but I also have to meet the expert. "

The Prime Minister stretched out his hand: "Deal?"

Chapter 319: La Zhuang Ding

Back in Hogsmeade, Lockhart couldn't help but sigh that it's so hard to do something these days.

Wizards don't believe in Muggles, and Muggles don't believe in wizards either. The people in the center are not flattering on both sides. On the contrary, the wizards like Voldemort in the United Kingdom, the purgers in the United States, and the "right-wing" among Muggles are more appealing, and thousands of people respond when they raise their arms.

And Lockhart can rely on only one thing, and that is profit.

As a faithful believer of Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations", he firmly believes that the benefits generated by more rational allocation of resources will make the "dark forest" chain of suspicion theory mentioned in "Three-Body Problem" lost.

There's only one thing he's having a headache now - that is, he has to take care of the business on the wizard side, and he can't get away to arrange the Muggle side.

And if he ignores the Muggle side for too long, not to mention that the speed of the layout will be stagnant, even the Muggle Prime Minister's side will inevitably be suspicious after too long without showing his face - and the latest thing is a wake-up call .

Lockhart felt that he had to find someone to watch over there, as his representative, who had been on the Muggle side for a long time.

Having said that, this representative is not easy to find.

First of all, this person must be a pure-blood wizard. If it is a Muggle-born wizard, it is very likely that he will unconsciously lean towards a Muggle position;

Secondly, this person can neither have a good relationship with Fudge nor with Dumbledore: otherwise it will be difficult for his will to be carried out;

In addition, this person must have some spellcasting ability, at least not to lose the face of wizards on the Muggle side;

Of course, the most important point is that he must have some interests on the Muggle side.

, Otherwise it is hard to believe that he will work hard. It would be better if he was proficient in Muggle dress and speech, and had some life experience in Muggle society.

...Well, you don't need to warn Lockhart to know that such people are really hard to find.

Lockhart sighed and decided to inspect the preparations for the second event of the Big Five Tournament.

Unsurprisingly, the first game of the Tournament did as he wished and exploded all over the world.

In the face of the Ministry of Magic's self-bragging and compliments from his colleagues, Lockhart seemed calm, as he took it for granted.

Compared with Muggles, wizards are not very poor in entertainment, and they are very colorful. In addition to small games such as Gobstone, poker, and wizard chess for entertainment, there are newspapers, books, and radio, and Quidditch has replaced football as the national sport.

The reason why Quidditch can become a national movement is because it has taken on the social topic between wizards and wizards. When strange wizards meet and don't know what to say, it's never wrong to talk about Quidditch.

It's just that people will always get tired of talking about the same topic, so in addition to the Quidditch League and the World Cup, wizards also need a celebration, the main body is composed of the national political system, has economic value, and is inclusive of multiculturalism. A large-scale event of communication attributes, the resurrection of the Triwizard Tournament is just a matter of time.

Since there are many stakeholders and media involved in various countries, they are sparing no effort to promote this matter. Coupled with the unconscious spirit of simple nationalism of wizards, it is difficult for wizards not to pay attention to it, so its popularity is also It became a matter of course.

The media that bought the reporting rights in various countries have sent their best reporters to come

Hogsmeade, and passed the process of the first game back to their country.

Although the focus of coverage varies from country to country, wizards, who generally lacked social topics after the World Cup, quickly found new points of interest, thanks to the brilliant writing of reporters.

As far as Lockhart knows, newspapers in various countries that reported on the day of the competition generally reprinted it two or three times, and the newspapers also began to appear one after another with columns discussing the competition, including well-known authors.

After the effect is achieved, it is easy to handle, and then Lockhart can use the game to accomplish his purpose in a fair and open manner.

As a preparer for the game, Lockhart of course has to secretly take care of the warriors in his country, but he can't be too deliberate in the arrangement of the project, which is very embarrassing.

However, on Thanksgiving before the second event, the warriors of the five schools will also be organized for a Quidditch Friendship Business Match, 5v5, with no goalkeeper or Seeker, and the game lasts for two hours .

Although this is a commercial sponsorship game, Lockhart knows that the Warriors will not refuse, because the proceeds from selling tickets for this game will be donated to the Muggle-killed "Estonian" shipwreck that sank in the Finnish waters on September 27. family members.

Norse wizards are not sure if the ship sank because of the Kraken encounter, but when the ship sank the monster was indeed moving around there, and if so, they were responsible for observing and recording the sea monster activity The wizard is undoubtedly suspected of dereliction of duty, and as the wizard's alma mater, Durmstrang may have to lose face.

Charity is always an admirable move, not to mention Durmstrang, who is located in northern Europe, wants to wipe his **** for his disciples, even Dumbledore did not express any dissatisfaction with this schedule, and prided himself on the focus of humanistic glory. The French in the land will not refuse

Just as Lockhart was planning to take the weekend to go to Cedric and Harry to discuss shooting a promotion

At the time of the film, he happened to bump into someone next to Harry.

"God, you've also been chosen as a warrior, I don't even know!" Sirius Blake rambled to Harry, "I was participating in a modified motorcycle hill climbing competition in Southeast Asia at the time, and I went to drink after winning the championship. It was only when I found out that you were actually chosen as a warrior, this is really…”

Harry looked a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of his godfather, but he tried to correct his statement: "Not a warrior, just a warrior squire."

"It's all the same, didn't you shine in the first game?"

Sirius stroked Harry's head in a friendly way, messing up his hair even more

"Damn it, I didn't watch the game live, but I promise you, I won't miss any of the next few games..."

"Thank you, Sirius." Harry quickly escaped his godfather's clutches: "I have a Quidditch match next week, but this time I have to be a Chaser."

Sirius was overjoyed: "Really? James was also a Chaser back then. You can try a few more positions... Oh, Gilderoy, are you also coming to see Harry?"

Looking at Gilderoy Lockhart who suddenly appeared in front of him, and his strange eyes, Sirius felt a little dazed for some reason.

Chapter three hundred and twentieth rate the donkey

When Lockhart offered to let him go to work, Sirius initially refused.

Because he is living a good life now. He can play wherever he wants, buy whatever he wants, and he no longer has a nagging old woman to control him. He is as free as a Thai who has taken off his collar. Di like

But Lockhart told him very seriously that he couldn't go on like this, that such a life of idleness would make him completely useless.

Sirius couldn't hold back his breath after hearing "Idle".

"Hey, who do you call idlers?" he asked discontentedly.

But Lockhart won't save face for him: "It seems that that person is not only idle, but also has no idea in his mind... But tell me, what have you done in the past ten months or so?"

"I"

Sirius subconsciously opened his mouth to refute, but after being stuck for a long time, he couldn't say anything.

Apart from running around and playing like crazy, he really doesn't seem to be doing anything except shopping, going to Italy, France, Malaysia... In short, running around by himself.

He was a little guilty at first, but then he remembered that he didn't seem to have to work.

"You don't care," he said. "I'm not short of money."

Lockhart sighed heavily: Newell heard, Harry... Your godfather meant that as long as you had money, you didn't have to work. You don't have to go to school anymore, just drop out and go play Quidditch. "

""Really? "Harry was beaming.

"Hey, wait!" Sirius hurriedly dragged his godson behind him, "Don't listen to his nonsense, we study to make ourselves a capable person, and only after you have the ability can you have the right to choose your social class. , you can't catch the golden snitch for the rest of your life."

These were the words old Mrs. Black had rambled on in his ear before, and though Sirius had always dismissed them, there seemed to be something baked into his brain that, when needed, blurted out

"Really? But you just said clearly..." Harry looked puzzled.

Lockhart suddenly discovered that Harry didn't know when he had failed his studies, and he was able to act with him seemingly innocently. He didn't believe that Harry really didn't understand anything.

Although Sirius is almost 30 years old, he is even worse than his godson in this regard, because he really believes it.

"Damn!" He was furious. "Can't you just let me take another year and a half to enjoy my life? I just spent ten years in Azkaban! And there's no good work for me to do right now."

"No, there just so happens to be an honorable, respectable, non-heroic job waiting for you right now," Lockhart told him, "and it's perfect for you."

"what?"

Lockhart did not answer Sirius directly, but turned to Harry Potter first

"Harry, have you seen the 007 movies?"

"I've only seen part of it," Harry admitted, "I used to only watch TV secretly when the Dursleys weren't at home, so I didn't watch the whole movie, just a few clips, and the Daredevil. Posters of the Force Collection - Bond, James o Bond, right?"

"Really? That's right, there are some new movies I bought, you can go and see them.

oo but I'm not talking about this, it's about your godfather. Would you be willing if he also went to work under Mrs. M and became a real agent?" Lockhart asked.

"Cool!" Harry blurted out.

No matter how stupid Sirius was, he realized Lockhart's purpose at this time—this guy just wanted to pull him to work.
