Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!

Harry nodded, showing that he understood something.

Seeing Harry was puzzled, Sirius simply explained a few sentences.Of course, there is no need to elaborate on the hundreds of years of conflict between the members of the Lions behind the Order of the Phoenix and the Snakes. As a "traitor" of the Snakes, Sirius himself knows this very well.

Apart from Rozier, that guy Dolohov is also a brutal thug, and he doesn't mind getting blood on his hands at all, but he is a little worse than Rozier, and he can be regarded as Voldemort's number one at the moment. thugs.As for the person who planned the military operation for Voldemort was Yaxley, that guy was thoughtful, very cunning, and good at the Imperius Curse..."

At this, Lockhart interrupted him: "So, how do you think Yaxley compares to my level?"

Sirius who was interrupted hesitated for a moment: "I haven't fought against that guy, but it is said that he has strong magic power, but his skills are not very good. He is used in the case of controlling the victim or sneak attack. curse."

"Okay, you continue." Lockhart was thoughtful.

If Rowling is not mistaken, then Yaxley was later ordered by Voldemort to kidnap Slughorn alone, and Slughorn, as the person who told Voldemort the "Horcrux" method, Voldemort could not He would look down on him too much, which meant that Yaxley's combat level should be at least at the dean level.

"The next thing is Luke Wood, that guy should be Voldemort's political adviser, usually not involved in the battle." Sirius continued.

"Political consultant? What about Barty Crouch Jr.?" Lockhart asked.

This time Sirius really shook his head: "In my time, I never heard that the Crouch family was also involved in the Death Eaters."

Lockhart frowned: "In other words, that guy has been hiding himself behind the scenes, and he has hidden himself very well."

"Who knows? It's just a furry kid, don't worry too much about him." Sirius didn't think so.

Sirius obviously underestimated the enemy, because according to Lockhart's point of view, Crouch Jr. is currently the most dangerous guy among the Death Eaters.And maybe after Rookwood is imprisoned, Crouch Jr. can monopolize Voldemort's "political advice"

In addition to these people, Sirius also talked about the werewolf Greyback, his "cousin-in-law" Lestrange, Moore Cyber ​​who is good at the Imperius Curse, and so on.

All this information was recorded by Lockhart, and he planned to check the files of these people with the Ministry of Magic if he had time, to see what could be used in his life, so that he could make "seeds" in the future.

As for his group of "inmates", Sirius thought that they might not be able to use normal magic anymore, because with the "help" of the dementors, these people had already only had distorted and negative emotions in their hearts. But if they wanted to use black magic, it would be quick to pick it up again.

"If you use the magic on them that you just used on me, it may backfire." This was Sirius' advice to Lockhart.

But Lockhart didn't think so. After all, awakening a person's bad memories might not be able to touch the Death Eaters, but as long as it could disturb them, it would be fine.

Some people are like this. They often recall a particularly embarrassing experience of their own intentionally or unconsciously, or a period that they didn’t feel at the time, but the more they thought about it afterwards, the more embarrassing they became.

past.Sometimes when recalling that embarrassing experience and making gestures of coddling, they don't even notice that there is someone next to them.

Lockhart didn't need to completely hypnotize these people, he only needed to disturb them for half a second, which was enough for Lockhart to give them a fatal blow in the gap.

It can be said that this is the combat style that Lockhart really established after two years of experimentation, while Sirius, Moody and Snape were the first three experiments.

If even Snape couldn't guard against him, then Barty Crouch Jr. couldn't guard against it either.Snape can prevent Voldemort's Legilimency, Master Newt can resist the effect of Veritaserum with his own willpower, but he can't prevent high-level Legilimency, and Barty Jr. I can't bear it.In other words, if I use this trick to deal with Barty Jr., it shouldn't be a big problem.

Coupled with the fact that Sirius is good at attacking, Snape is good at volleys with Legilimency as the core, and Moody is better at anti-retaliation. The three opponents with different styles help Lockhart Continue to improve the details of your battle.

As for Sirius himself, Lockhart suggested that he continue to walk his own path of "melee mage".

Transfiguration was Sirius' best use so far, but the level of enchantment held him back: and it didn't do a very good job of resisting psychic spells either.

But these weaknesses can be made up for by one thing--money.Sirius had money now, and it would only increase in the future.

"You can buy a German HK-USP pistol at your own expense, and don't forget to buy bullets." Lockhart suggested very sincerely.

"Huh?" Sirius asked in surprise, "You mean, guns?"

"Yes, you know?"

"Of course I know, but I don't think that thing will work without a wand," Sirius said matter-of-factly.

Lockhart didn't force him either: "If you can shoot more than 6 or 7 rounds per second

The Stunning Curse, then forget that I didn't say it. "

"...Okay, but they refused to sell it to me. They said they wanted a license. Where can I buy it?"

Although Sirius said he didn't care, he still got to the bottom of it accidentally. It seems that he hasn't tried.

"Anywhere," Lockhart replied.

Before the shooting at Dunblane Primary School in 1996 and led to legislation prohibiting private gun ownership in 97, the UK has always allowed private gun ownership. There will be no refusal, and even those who have committed crimes and previous convictions will not have their licenses revoked. Coupled with the proliferation of private gun workshops, the effectiveness of this law can be said to be ineffective.

Even though guns were later banned, Britain still allowed private individuals to keep shotguns for hunting purposes, on the grounds that the shooting speed of shotguns was extremely low and they could only fire two rounds at a time.

As long as you can become a member of a hunting club such as the Fox Hunting Club, then he automatically has the right to hold a shotgun. It can be said that it is an additional clause set up by the rich and powerful.

However, Sirius is not guilty of using this clause. If he works for MI5, then he can easily legally own some guns.

"" Do you have that thing too? asked Sirius suspiciously.

Lockhart smiled, "What do you think?"

"Ha!" Sirius yelled exaggeratedly, "When I take office in MI[-], can I arrest you?"

Lockhart was unmoved: "That one belongs to the police, not MI[-], and mine is legal."

"legitimate?"

"Yes, there is a loophole in Muggle law - as long as it's a gun made before 1939

All guns are considered "antiques" and "collectibles", not weapons.

Lockhart's expression was quite sly. As a former civil servant, he naturally knew how many tricks those with vested interests had to do to survive.

This is also a well-known legal loophole in the UK. If you watch British movies, you will find that many pistols hidden in drawers by nobles are old-fashioned, and there are even revolvers that should only appear in museums.

This is not because they have any artistic feelings, but because of legal restrictions, they have to do so.

Now Sirius understood completely: "But all guns are new to us."

"Yes, it's all new."

While talking, Lockhart casually summoned a handful of gadgets, lit them up and threw them back.

aM1911, a 190's semi-auto pistol...I love the British law to death. "

Chapter 220

With Sirius and Moody as his two references, Lockhart can now clearly measure his benchmark of strength.

If Moody had been placed more than ten years ago, he would undoubtedly be the strongest wizard other than Voldemort and Dumbledore.He used the missing piece of his nose as a price to fight "mistakes" and killed Voldemort's number one general, Rozier, and he was a ruthless man.

It is precisely because of this that in the "Battle of the Seven Potters", Voldemort believed that Harry was escorted by Moody, because he had never even heard of the rest of them except Lupine, so naturally he would not Put them in your sights.

As for Sirius, it is much inferior. No matter how good he is and how many spells he knows, his brain will start to be confused when he enters the fighting state, and the things dissolved in the blood vessels of his brain will change from IQ to adrenaline .

It may be a sense of accomplishment to defeat him once or twice, but if you play a lot of Lockhart, you will find that it is actually not difficult.

To put it bluntly, even Harry might not necessarily lose to the current Sirius. As long as Sirius's first wave of offensive is prevented, he can be played around in the future.

Of course, the premise is to block his first wave of offensive.

Everyone has their own fighting style. Sirius obviously belongs to the offensive faction. If you ask him to fight volleys and strikes, that's what will kill him.

Therefore, under Lockhart's suggestion, Sirius should go to the training of Muggle special forces, at least learn to snipe and ambush.

When he came into close contact with a Death Eater unexpectedly, instead of just jumping up and down to dodge spells and throw punches close to him, he could throw a flashbang to blind the opponent, then quickly empty the pistol magazine, and finally hunkered down. Rush forward and break the enemy's neck

If the enemy is still angry at this time.

While that was all well and good, Lockhart sincerely hoped that Harry wouldn't learn dueling techniques from his godfather.

If it was just to practice Harry's dueling skills, Lockhart felt that Snape might be a better teacher, because their fighting style is "volley".

Attacking is easy to make the enemy flustered, but the probability of accidentally dying from a flow arrow is also very high; volleying requires too high a person's reaction speed and improvised decision-making ability, and only a genius like Harry is suitable for that fighting style.

And Snape's "Intercept" relies more on Legilimency. It can only target in advance on the premise of knowing what spell the enemy will use, but if there are many enemies or the enemy is also very good at Occlumency, Nass Nepe would also be very uncomfortable, which Lockhart has proved with his own actions.

And wizards like Lockhart himself, Cedric, and Alastor Moody, who have barely escaped the level of "amateur duel enthusiasts", are basically "poor" fighters, but they don't know about Lupine's battle. What exactly is style.

But soon he'll have a chance to find out.

The time came to December, and seeing that Christmas was getting closer and Lupine would come back from Africa for the holidays, Lockhart wanted to take this rare opportunity to invite all capable people in the Order of the Phoenix to fight. one game.

Of course, in the name of "negotiating Hogwarts security"

In addition to Lupine and Black, the people he invited included Snape, Weasley Moody, and Shacklebolt. By the way, he also invited Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Dean Flitwick.

After learning the list of people he invited this time, Snape immediately said that he had something to do that day, so he should not be able to come.

In fact, Lockhart also knows that there is a high probability that he will not come, but whether he comes or not is a matter of time

Whether you invite or not is another matter, so I still sent out the invitation.

Sirius was very satisfied with Snape's "fleeing".

""The snotlite is scared. ' he said to Lockhart, 'he knew I was going to beat him up and make a fool of himself. "

Lockhart was noncommittal about Sirius' unfounded confidence.

When he was in school, Snape was indeed often bullied by two of the four robbers. At that time, even Snape might not be able to beat them alone, let alone deal with several of them at the same time.

But after all these years, what is the level of Sirius? Doesn't he know it himself?Whether his spellcasting level is better than his own when he just graduated, I'm afraid he will murmur.

And Snape's level is definitely not what it used to be, not only learned a lot of black magic from Voldemort, but also the perfect potion library established during the years of teaching at Hogwarts. The two of them duel, I'm afraid Sirius won't be able to lift his head up in three years.

Snape was not so much afraid of Sirius as he was a little ashamed of Mu

Snape's absence was no surprise, but Lockhart was surprised that another person whom Lockhart hadn't expected to come had agreed to come.

That man is Headmaster Dumbledore.

After hearing Lockhart's plan, Dumbledore decided to suspend the search for the Horcrux and come to "talk" with these former members of the Order of the Phoenix in person.

"What is Dumbledore's fighting style?" Lockhart couldn't help asking Moody.

Moody's magic eyes kept rolling: "You don't have to think about this problem, Dumbledore can't use any "style" against us... Besides, it's best not to use your invisibility spell in front of him, Deng Bullido's perception of magic power is stronger than me with magic eyes. "

Lockhart thought he was right, so he gave up the preparation for invisibility.

But in this way, he found that he didn't know how to deal with Dumbledore.

It seems... Can't deal with it no matter what?

Damn, I wanted to pretend at first.

But, before Lockhart could contemplate how to lose respectably to Dumbledore: something else caught up with him first.

Just one morning on the weekend, a man came outside the Shrieking Shack.

Originally, after hearing the female voice, Lockhart instinctively thought that Gemma had come to ask him for "classes" again, so he opened the door still wearing only warm and comfortable cotton pajamas.

But who would have thought that the person outside the door would be Fleur Delacour.

Lockhart silently made an apologetic gesture, and then spent 20 seconds using magic to perform a one-click change before opening the door again.

Although Beauxbaton's visit surprised Lockhart, what surprised him even more was that Fleur had come to find her own purpose—she wanted to invite Gilderoy Lockhart to be her dance partner at the Christmas ball.

It was only then that Lockhart remembered that the flower arrangement arranged for the Big Five Tournament, that is, the Christmas Ball, was actually related to him.

Chapter 330: Sharing Professor Resources

Faced with the invitation of the number one beauty in the "HP" series, if Lockhart said he was completely dissatisfied, he would be lying.

"Invite me?" Lockhart repeated, "Why? I thought that a beautiful lady like you should have no shortage of dancing partners."

"There is always a shortage of good dance partners." Fu Rong said.

She deliberately emphasized the word "good" so that Lockhart could understand her meaning, which was hard to come by given her current level of English.

Lockhart would not refuse directly without emotional intelligence. Even if he refused others, he would usually show the other party enough dignity.

"It's a pity," he said in French, "if you had come earlier, I'm not as confident and charming as you are, thinking I'd be sure to find a partner, so I had to ask my friends for help early on, Fill me with face."

"You already have an appointment?" Fu Rong's disappointment was beyond words, "I thought I was the first one."

Then, she seemed to think of something again, and there was a hint of hope in her tone: "So, is it possible that she couldn't come to the Christmas ball because of some accident?"

"Not likely." A voice came from behind her.

Without Lockhart saying it, Gemma Farley had already answered the rest for him.

The village of Hogsmeade is really not that big. When Fleur was still outside the village, Gemma knew from an owl that Fleur was coming to the Shrieking Shack and invited Lockhart to the ball .It was Slytherin's junior who told her this information in advance.

As the former Slytherin prefect and Hogwarts female student head, Gemma even

Even after leaving Hogwarts, there are still her dear children there. Even though the Farley family is indeed not as rich as the Malfoy family, she is much smarter than little Draco

Unlike the brunette witch with messy hair and chipmunk teeth who looked harmless, this French chick with Veela blood was the real enemy.

Although Emma Watson supported the appearance of "Hermione" in the "HP" series of movies, according to the text described by Rowling, Hermione is really not the pinnacle of appearance in the series of novels , is not even considered outstanding until she is not dressed up, she is considered a beauty after her teeth are straightened and well groomed, but that is all.

Considering that Snape, who has a hooked nose, greasy hair, and extraordinarily expressive expressions in the novel, was actually turned into a "Twilight"-style high-cold male god by movie actors, I can only talk about the movie. In fact, it can only be said to be for reference only.

But Fleur Delacour, no matter from which point of view, should be regarded as the pinnacle of beauty in the novel, even far surpassing Harry's wife Ginny Weasley, even if it is Transformation Magus or drinking No one who took Polyjuice Potion could replicate her unique aura.
