Chapter 430 Search

"Gidero, have you read that article by Rita?" Hermione broke into his office nervously: "She is too much, it will ruin Ginny's life, you should think of a way .”

"Don't get excited my dear, it's not that exaggerated - most wizards in Britain know the credibility of Rita's writing..." Lockhart comforted her: "The best way at this time is what Neither... Should I arrest Rita, or make her make a statement saying she's bullshitting? Isn't that a cover-up..."

"That's right..." Hermione was confused all of a sudden, "Harry was also terrified, and I was afraid that Qiu would quarrel with him after seeing this thing."

"Let the crazy girl Ginny make trouble, this time she has to suffer a little bit, or else she's messing around." Lockhart said indifferently: "If Cho sees it, he will make trouble, and Tonks will make trouble if he sees it. Black's Girlfriend... That means Snape doesn't have a girlfriend anymore, I don't know if the Malfoy family can see it abroad."

"Oh my god..." Hermione scratched her hair and turned around anxiously.

Lockhart was amused by his wife's appearance of worrying about others: "Honey, you are so strange, shouldn't you be the one who should be most worried? According to Rita's article, now there is a troublesome woman staring at you. Fuck me..."

"I know what Ginny is like!"

"You know what kind of person Ginny is, and Tonks and Cho also know her..." Lockhart said speechlessly, "The only thing to worry about is Sirius' girlfriend, but the two of them They're all grown-ups, so they shouldn't be making trouble for a child."

"That's right, then I'll go to Sirius, you should be busy."

Hermione hurried out of the office again.

After watching his wife leave, Lockhart continued to read the document in his hand.

Another piece of good news is that the high reward he issued for the whereabouts of the two Dark Lords attracted wizard and mercenary groups from all over the world. Stranger...

Talented people, in the eyes of wizards who know magic, they can also be called capable people and strange people. What is it like?

In fact, it's not complicated to say, just some wizards who can combine magic and Muggle methods: such as enchanting arrows and bullets, or even relying entirely on some special Muggle weapons to fight...

Some of these people have unknown origins and are not allowed to enter the Ministry of Magic-only those local wizards who have completed their identity registration with the Ministry of Magic and have no previous convictions. was allowed to enter, and still cannot enter the area of ​​​​the key department.

After planning and arranging the search for Wales, maybe the search for Voldemort finally made some progress, or maybe it was a little fun by Rita's thought-provoking article. Lockhart's nerves that had been tense all the time actually relaxed a little...

He visited Professor Slughorn and Flitwick in the afternoon, chatted with them about the possible strength of "Grindelwald", and finally came to the conclusion that if Grindelwald's strength is comparable to that of Dumbledore, Maybe just the two of them and Snape could hold each other down.

"Grindelwald can't be stronger than Voldemort, but what I'm worried about now is," Lockhart began to vaccinate all the wizards who agreed to help in advance: "Since Voldemort wants to ask the former Dark Lord for help, it is hard to guarantee that he will not Find more powerful dark wizards..."

"Didn't you find a lot of helpers? At that time, Horace and I, and maybe Severus. Three people deal with Grindelwald, and you divide the other helpers into groups of two or three, and you can definitely handle everything." The situation has changed..." Professor Flitwick said indifferently: "It is impossible for Britain to have so many powerful dark wizards, and foreign dark wizards will risk their lives to help a Voldemort whose power has been wiped out?"

Lockhart nodded in agreement: "That's the only way to go. It seems that Death Eaters and Dementors have been spotted in the past two days. You two should prepare in advance."

"We have been preparing for it all the time, you just need to find that person,

Let us know and we'll be there in no time. "

"good."

Lockhart returned to 12 Grimmauld Street as usual. Pushing open the door and entering the lobby, I found several Order of the Phoenix staying in the lobby, surrounded by a girl.

"Professor—" Ginny raised her head to look at Lockhart with tears all over her face, stood up suddenly and ran forward into his arms: "I'm not that kind of girl. I didn't..."

The girl was obviously terrified by Rita's report, although she usually looks fearless, but now the entire wizarding world regards her as a bad girl, which finally made her nervous Get up now.

Not to mention that Lockhart watched Ginny grow up, even if the two didn't know each other at all, as a vampire. Smelling the pleasant virgin fragrance of Ginny, and hugging her trembling body curled up in her arms because of fear, Lockhart could also be sure that what Rita wrote was all nonsense.

He patted Ginny on the back tenderly: "Okay, we all know you are not that kind of girl, please sit down."

After pushing the girl back onto the sofa, Lockhart sat down beside Hermione.

"Hello, are you Sirius' fiancée?"

"Amy Burns, nice to meet you, Mr. Lockhart." A beautiful black-haired witch sitting next to Sirius greeted him with a smile. "I said I didn't believe that article, but Sirius must show me this girl whose charm can conquer the entire Order of the Phoenix and Hogwarts."

The owner of this house, the head of the Black family, said depressingly: "This time I was shot while lying down. I stayed at home, but suddenly I became an evil young girl. I came from Azkaban. The jailbreak was actually for Ginny, who was only twelve years old at the time..."

Hermione let out a chuckle.

"You're okay, Rita actually wrote Dora as the woman I just married because I couldn't get Ginny," Lupine said with a sad face, "You know Dora's temperament, she believes what she sees, and she never doesn't like it." In my head, she took the newspaper and asked me if it was true... After explaining it to her clearly, I was busy coming over to comfort Little Ginny, afraid that she would not believe us or the reports in the newspaper."

Lockhart shrugged innocently, and looked at Ginny's father: "Arthur, what happened at home?"

Arthur sat on the side and frowned tightly: "The night before yesterday, Ginny heard the news that you and the girl from the Fudge family were engaged, and she actually clamored for Jasmine and I to agree to her marrying you during the meal—"

"I'm going to marry the professor. I'm seventeen years old now!" Ginny had stopped her tears under Lockhart's comfort, but her mouth was still stubborn.

"That's why Gilderoy wants you, he and Hermione are really in love, what kind of relationship do they have with you?" Arthur glared at Ginny, then looked at Lockhart: "Gilderoy, I promised to support you at the beginning." You have never thought about your daughter's modification of the Marriage Law... To be honest, if you only have Hermione as a wife, I can barely accept it... At least I know that Hermione will definitely not bully Ginny—"

"You're kidding, Uncle Arthur." Hermione couldn't help laughing again: "There is no girl in the world who can bully Ginny, but if I have that ability, I guarantee that Gildero won't even have the idea of ​​marrying Fudge .”

"It's not a matter of anyone bullying Ginny, I never thought of marrying Ginny..." Lockhart became irritable: "Arthur, take her back quickly, and talk to Jasmine carefully, don't Let her misunderstand me again—”

"I don't want to go home. Mom pointed to my nose and said, 'I don't have a daughter like you!'." Ginny said tearfully, "I want to live here."

If it's really okay to let Ginny live here, Lockhart hurriedly stopped: "I hate girls who are messing around the most. If you don't want to leave a bad impression on me, you should hurry home with your father!"

"No! This is not your house, this is the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and I have the right to live here!" Ginny looked at another person with teary eyes: "Sirius, this is your house, you Will you let me live?"

"But you have to listen to your parents."

"I'm an adult!" Ginny said loudly, "Didn't you disobey your parents back then? You ran away from home when you were sixteen. You should understand how I feel—"

"It's stupid to run away from home," said Lupine. "He's already realized that, Sirius."

Sirius nodded: "I realize now that family is the most important thing. Now I tell you that you don't understand, and you will understand when you grow up."

Seeing that no one supported her, Ginny hurriedly explained: "I didn't run away from home now, I just moved in with my best friend... If you don't let me live, I will really run away from home!"

"Forget it, let Ginny stay here for a few days. The night before yesterday, Jasmine was so angry that she almost wanted to hit her, so I pulled it away... Let both parties calm down." Arthur reluctantly compromised: "Hermione, You'll take care of her, right?"

"Yeah." Hermione nodded knowingly.

"Then I'll go back first." Arthur stood up, "Ginny, don't run around!"

"I'm staying here, I'm not going anywhere!"

——

"Then we should go too, dear." Sirius stood up and said to his girlfriend, "Shall we go to the old place to eat today?"

"Whatever you want, then I'll see you later, Mr. Lockhart." The black-haired witch stood up.

"Little Ginny, just stay here and apologize to your mother when her anger subsides." Lupine patted Ginny's head, and then realized that the red-haired girl really looked a bit like Harry's mother, and quickly retracted. hands up.

"Then let's go." Lockhart stood up to see off the guests... and the host: "There seems to be some clues to the whereabouts of Remus, Sirius, Voldemort and Grindelwald. Be careful recently."

Both of them froze for a moment and nodded.
