Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!

"This... seems like I saw it on TV..."

"Yes, it is the anti-load suit of Muggle fighter pilots. We used it to modify it." Lockhart winked at him, "Although I don't want to admit it, Muggles are indeed far behind in this small invention. To stay ahead of wizards, we can't rest on our laurels

Ty, you are right. "

Harry can't get enough of this suit

Due to various accidents, Gryffindor has not been able to get the College Quidditch in the past two years.

The winner of the Odd Cup, this year Oliver Wood will definitely be tough and let everyone step up training.

Whenever he thinks back to the scene where everyone trained in the rainstorm last year, Harry feels a little cold. If he can have a set of equipment that can make him feel less cold, it will be a boon to him.

"Thank you, you are also the first person to give me a birthday present this year." He said thanks sincerely.

With just a cursory look, he found that the suit perfectly suited his current figure, which was obviously the result of Lockhart's careful attention.

And because of Dudley's diet plan, Harry had to follow at number four Privet Drive - curse "salty fat", and if it wasn't for a good lunch at Lockhart's, he felt that he would die of Malnutrition.

"Maybe it's just because we're closer." Lockhart reminded him that Ur friends needed owls, they wouldn't leave you hungry. "

"I believe so." Harry finally felt a little happier.

Chapter 150 Six Shelter

Before Harry left, Lockhart asked Dobby to get Harry some more treacle tarts, as they were one of the few things he found Harry liked.

Dobby fulfilled his order so faithfully that Harry's pockets were so full that Harry didn't have to worry about running out of food for the next few days.

In Lockhart's car, Harry couldn't help looking out the window—could the wanted criminal who came to kill him hide in his only way?

Seeing him looking out, Lockhart knew that the boy had started to worry unnecessarily—not to mention that his mother's protective magic was still there, even if the magic was gone, Black would not want to hurt him.

So he thought of a way to distract him.

"Our course is over today, and you can review it by yourself in the next period of time—but I have to remind you that when you arrive at Hogwarts, the person who takes over Occlumency will become Professor Snape, If you don’t want to make up lessons for too long, then it’s best not to forget to review during this time.”

Sure enough, Harry was taken aback by this new news.

"Snape? Why him?"

"It's Professor Snape, Harry." Lockhart corrected, "Although I am quite confident in spiritual magic, compared with Professor Snape, I can only say that I have more dexterity and less strength. Will take over your next study."

"I've already learned it!" Harry argued hastily, "You're teaching very well, but... uh, you've already achieved a lot, haven't you?"

"That has to be checked by Professor Snape, and he will report to Dumbledore in this way." Lockhart continued to drive without turning his head.

"Then it's over, he will definitely let me pass." Harry was a little desperate, "He will use this opportunity to do everything possible to make things difficult for me."

"It's impossible, why did he make things difficult for you?"

"Who knows, maybe it's because I look so much like my father, he's been making things difficult for me from the first day." Harry recalled his first Potions class, "he had Asked me a lot of advanced questions, and I hadn't even turned over the textbook at the time, and Hermione told me later that those questions were all about the content of the third grade, and if she hadn't read it in advance, she wouldn't know the answer .”

"You still remember what he asked you, which means he thinks you can remember," Lockhart smoothed things over, "and doesn't Hermione remember?"

"Yeah, what daffodil root powder, absinthe infusion, bezoar, what aconitum... Probably only she can remember what it is." Harry repeated the question Snape asked him at the beginning, To show his deep hatred.

Lockhart was silent for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth.

"I think you'd better remember these three questions from Professor Bassnape forever, Mr. Potter, and think about what he means when you have time later."

Harry doesn't know why, and he doesn't know why Lockhart has been calling himself "Harry" recently, but now he suddenly calls himself "Mr. Potter"

Only Lockhart knew why he suddenly became serious-because "narcissus (actually a lily)" represents Lily (lily), another meaning of absinthe wrmwd is "deep regret", and the synthetic The potion "Living Hell Potion-Living Death" is "life is worse than death". This Living Hell Potion was the potion that Snape and Lily were best at back then.

Two kinds of the same aconitum, but because they are in different environments, they become boat-shaped aconites

Two kinds of aconitum and chamaema

This is implying that both myself and Lily act as

The childhood sweethearts of the same origin, but in the end they went on different paths.

Although the fecal bezar looks uninteresting, it is also useful when the be is removed.

"To make" means, zar is "refuge" and the place where the coprolith is located is "goat's stomach", and "goat" became a symbol of the devil after the 9th century AD.So this sentence is also likely to say that Harry Potter should come to Slytherin if he wants to seek refuge after his mother dies.

So, on the surface, Snape was making things difficult for Harry in the first class, but in fact he was expressing his repentance to Harry and his memory of his mother in this way, and in the end he said that he should come to Slytherin, That way I can cover him well.

It's a pity that not only Harry at the time couldn't understand such a subtle hint, but even many adults couldn't understand it, so that many fanfiction are still writing the scene where Snape asks other people these three questions—he She wouldn't use these three questions to ask others, Hermione could prove it with her hand that was raised high but no one answered it for a long time.

Mixed with a bit of helplessness of "as expected of James, you're so stupid", Snape could only yell at Harry "Why don't you write it down", hoping that he can slowly figure it out in the future (English yu is not singular or plural).

Harry was a little confused, but he still had his first-year potion notes, although he didn't mind thinking about the meaning of it later when he had time, but—he was also very busy.

After sending Harry Potter back to No. 4, Privet Drive, Lockhart was lazy, shrunk the car and put it in his pocket, and then returned to his home after disembarking.

Then he began to write to Dumbledore, reporting to him the success of this period of time."

Although he wasn't sure how brutal Legilimency Harry could stand, at least he had a success rate now, and it was before his thirteenth birthday.When his age and magical power continue to grow, I believe he will be able to fully learn Occlumency soon.

After writing the letter, he was just about to owl, but then found that he was cleaning

Dobby in the house temporarily changed his mind and asked him to apparate to Hogwarts to deliver

letter.

Lockhart is getting lazy

The birthday presents of Hermione, Hagrid and the Weasley family were delivered before Harry woke up that morning. Among them, Hermione’s gift was from Hedwig, and the Weasley family’s gift was the old owl Errol. delivered.

It has to be said that the owls in the wizarding world are still too clever. Even though Harry's move from No. [-] Privet Drive to the South End of London was an unexpected event, they still found Harry's location easily, and To get his reply, even Errol.

According to the people from the Experimental Spells Committee, Lockhart said that the tracking spells in the wizarding world were actually obtained after observing owls. The tracking ability alone is really not a bragging rights.

It is rumored that the pet of Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, was an owl, and it seems that this is not without foundation.In the Yin and Shang Dynasties of China, "Xuanniao" was worshiped, and a unique bronze Huzun was also unearthed from the tomb of Fu Hao, the "Empress of the General" as a funeral object.

It is also an interesting coincidence that the early civilizations of the East and the West regarded the owl as a symbol of wisdom + war + women.

It seems that if a wizard wants to hide his whereabouts, the first step is to cast an anti owl tracking spell on himself, otherwise he will not be able to hide no matter how he hides.

Hedwig brought Harry a set of broomstick maintenance tools, while Errol brought Harry a large bag of meatloaf, and Hagrid brought a copy of "The Book of Monsters". It took Harry a lot of effort to tie it up.

After spending a happy morning, Harry had to bite the bullet and go downstairs to attend the reception banquet prepared for Aunt Maggie.

In order to fight for the right to go to Hogsmeade in the third year, he must find a way to get Uncle Vernon's signature, which is simply impossible for Harry.

Aunt Marge was very rich, but because no man could stand her bad temper, she never married, and of course she had no children.

And Vernon Dursley has been trying to maintain an "extremely intimate relationship" with her, and she does buy Dudley a lot of expensive gifts every year.Harry had reason to suspect that Vernon Dursley hoped that his son would inherit her inheritance in the future.

It was easy for both parties to hold each other's pigtails, and they finally reached an agreement after a lot of wrangling.Vernon would sign the papers agreeing to go to Hogsmeade for him, at the expense of Harry being obedient and well-behaved when Aunt Marge came to visit.

But Harry's efforts to control his behavior were getting nowhere.

Although for various reasons, Harry's status at No. [-] Privet Drive has been greatly improved, but as an "outsider" Aunt Maggie, she doesn't think Harry deserves any respect.

Especially when she's in a bad mood.

A few days ago, the neighbor Maggie had been secretly in love with, old Colonel Fabster, sent back the dog who had been helping her.

After she found that the dog was well cared for and its fur was smooth, she decided that Colonel Farbster was also interested in her, so she invited him to watch a movie together.

But the other party refused—because he felt that he couldn't stand Maggie Dursley's temper.

After pursuing her neighbor again but failed, Maggie came to her younger brother's house full of grievances, and took advantage of her drunkenness to vent all her grievances on Harry Potter.

Although Harry was well prepared, he still couldn't hold back his emotions when he heard Maggie insulting his parents as "liars and scum".

In the case of extreme anger, although Harry could neither dodge the bullet nor punch through the 60cm steel plate, he still learned the silent + wandless inflatable spell without a teacher

Casting a spell, he inflated his aunt and pinned her to the ceiling.

Then he packed up all his things, and ran out of No. [-] Privet Drive without looking back.

However, when he calmed down, he realized that he had nowhere else to go except here.

He thought for a moment, then walked into a telephone booth by the side of the road and dropped a few pennies.

"Hello, Professor Lockhart? It's me... I'm embarrassed, but can I stay for a night. I'm going to live in the Leaky Cauldron tomorrow."

Chapter 150 VII Moving

Although apparating on the Muggle road was somewhat dangerous, Lockhart knew that no matter what he did now, he would be forgiven by the Ministry of Magic, as long as he could protect Harry Potter.

So he simply used invisibility on himself and teleported to Privet Drive.

Fortunately, he has been here many times before, so he can remember the surrounding terrain

Although apparation is very convenient, it requires the wizard to recall the local terrain, landforms and scenery in as much detail as possible before moving, and concentrate on thinking about the place he wants to go, otherwise it is very easy to cause splits.

So if the wizard wants to go to a place he has never been to, it is almost impossible to use Apparition unless he carefully watches dozens of local videotapes.

In places where wizards specialize in apparating, there is usually no one to change the layout of the ren, in case the people who apparate come over are separated because the destination is different from what they expected.

Therefore, wizards in cities that are undergoing major infrastructure construction generally don't like teleportation, because it is very likely that the local area was one month ago, and the local area will be another month later.A new overhaul of the road, a new overpass, or a few more base stations on the side of the road will lead to the split of the wizard's teleportation.

Do you think it's just "impolite" not to teleport to someone's house?

No, it's also for your own sake.

Relatively speaking, places with many old streets that have not changed for decades and the deserted wilderness are very suitable for apparation.

However, terrain and landforms are usually beyond the control of wizards, so when the Ministry of Magic of various countries organizes large-scale transfer activities, they are more inclined to use specialized

For the door key, it will be safer for the people from the Ministry of Magic to confirm the situation on both sides before casting magic, and the door key will be destroyed and recycled after it is used up.

After taking Harry back to his house, Lockhart asked the joyous Dobby to prepare another room for Harry, and Dobby couldn't wait to complete his order

For this reason, Lockhart also specifically asked Dumbledore if it would be a problem for Harry not to live with his aunt for the next few days.

Dumbledore said that the problem is not big, because Lily's magic only needs to ensure that Harry spends the last month of the year with his relatives.

Although Harry ran away from the Dursleys' house on his birthday, he happened to have lived in the Dursleys' house for a full month by the time of his birthday on July 7, so the ancient magic had been "charged". Harry could go anywhere next.

After getting Dumbledore's assurance, Lockhart left Harry at his home with confidence.

But before that, he asked Harry to thank the Ministry of Magic, or rather apologize.

"Because of your relationship, the whole Ministry of Magic is extremely nervous, and there must be a special person to help you deal with the inflated aunt and appease the Dursleys. You have to express something to them," Lockhart told Harry said, "This can minimize their dislike for you, so that no one will help you when you have something to do in the future."

Harry was a little embarrassed. Although he still thought that Aunt Marge had asked for it, it was also true that he was too impulsive, and it was a bit embarrassing to ask others to help him deal with that mess.

He immediately made a promise: "I won't do this kind of thing again."

"That's not sure." Lockhart was noncommittal.

Harry decided to skirt the subject: "So, what should I do."

"Write a thank-you letter, expressing that I have caused trouble for everyone because of impulsiveness, and thank the Ministry of Magic for its meticulous care and protection. Finally, I will go to the "Reversal of Incidents Team" to help you thank those few colleagues, This will minimize the dislike of the Ministry of Magic staff towards you.

Although I'm sure they don't ask for anything in return, but if you satisfy them, it is equivalent to a positive feedback, and someone will continue to help you next time. This is human nature. said Lockhart.

No one likes to come out to wipe Potter's ass in the middle of the night, and the staff of the Ministry of Magic are the same, they have to come out to work overtime after dinner. If these colleagues have no complaints, Lockhart himself would not believe it.

"So what should I write in that letter? Explain why I'm blowing up my aunt?" Harry was at a loss because it was the first time he had experienced such a thing.

Lockhart waved his hands again and again: "No, no, first admit your mistakes, then thank you, and finally "casually" explain the abuse the Dursleys have treated you, so that people can feel sympathy for you. "

"I don't need sympathy, and if I do it all over again, I will still brag about my aunt." Harry said sensitively.

"That's not 'sympathy', but 'empathy', well, it's all the same..." Lockhart didn't care about this "qualitative" question, "but you have to admit your mistakes first, and satisfy those people who "did a good thing' wish, and then they can patiently listen to your explanation... And I can teach you one thing, which is "taking responsibility sometimes doesn't have to mean taking consequences', remember this sentence."

Harry felt as though he understood, but not fully

Anyway, writing a thank you letter to the Ministry of Magic...it's not that difficult.

When Harry finished writing this half apology and half thank you letter with immature writing,

, Lockhart took it over and looked at it, and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he let

Hedwig was sent to the Ministry of Magic.

Although the style of writing is indeed a bit childish, it seems like real feelings instead, and those small essays on a social platform with excellent writing style, every word and every sentence seem to be crying, and all the tricks hit people's pain points. Fake.

When this work was done, Lockhart gave Harry directions to his own home.

"In the rest of the summer vacation, I will go to make up lessons for Colin Creevey. You can write to your friends and make an appointment to go shopping in Diagon Alley on a certain day, and I will take you there together. During this time You can stroll around here. This is the South London area. Although it is not as prosperous as the West London area, it is the Thames River when you go out, and there are no shortage of shops. If there is anything you need in life, you can buy it yourself, and I will give it to you. Leave £100 pocket money..."

"I'll exchange it with Galleons." Harry didn't want to spend other people's money for no reason.

In order to take care of his pride, Lockhart agreed to Harry's request and took away 15 Galleons from him.

Seeing Harry's puzzled look, Lockhart had to explain to him: "The pound has depreciated recently, and one Galleon can be exchanged for more pounds. When you go to Gringotts, you can pay attention to the latest exchange rate table." , which is about 1:7 now."
