Hermione, Be the Minister of Magic with Me! - Chapter 159

Harry nodded, indicating that he understood something.

Seeing Harry’s doubts, Sirius simply explained two sentences. Of course, there is no need to elaborate on the centuries-old conflict between the Lion faction members behind the Order of the Phoenix and the Snake faction. As a “traitor” of the Snake faction, Sirius himself knows this very well.

In addition to Rozier, Dolokhov is also a murderous thug, and he doesn’t mind getting blood on his hands at all, but he is a little worse than Rozier, and can be regarded as Voldemort’s number one at present. thugs. As for the man who planned the military operation for Voldemort, Yaxley, the guy was very thoughtful, very cunning, and good at the Imperius…”

Hearing this, Lockhart interrupted him: “So, how do you think Yaxley compares to my level?”

The interrupted Sirius hesitated for a moment: “I have never fought against that guy, but it is said that he has strong magic power, but his skills are not very good. curse.”

“Okay, you go on.” Lockhart thought.

If Rowling is not mistaken, then Yaxley was later ordered by Voldemort to kidnap Slughorn, and Slughorn, as the person who told Voldemort the “horcrux” method, Voldemort could not I would underestimate him too much, which means that Yaxley’s fighting level should be at least at the dean level.

“Next is Rookwood. That guy should be Voldemort’s political adviser and usually doesn’t get involved in combat.” Sirius continued.

“Political advisor? What about Barty Crouch Jr.?” Lockhart pressed.

This time, Sirius really shook his head: “In my time, I never heard that the Crouchs were also involved in the Death Eaters.”

Lockhart frowned: “That is to say, the guy has been hiding himself behind the scenes, and he has been hiding well.”

“Who knows? It’s just a furry child, don’t worry too much about him.” Sirius disagreed.

Sirius is clearly underestimating the enemy, because according to Lockhart, little Crouch is the most dangerous guy among the Death Eaters right now. And maybe after Rookwood was imprisoned, Crouch Jr could instead monopolize Voldemort’s “political advice”

In addition to these people, Sirius also talked about Greyback the werewolf, his “cousin-in-law” Lestrange, and Mulsebo who was good at Imperius Curse, etc.

All of this information was recorded by Lockhart, and he was ready to go to the Ministry of Magic when he had time to check the files of these people to see what could be used in their lives, so that he could make “seeds” in the future.

Regarding his gang of “prisoners”, Sirius believes that they may no longer be able to use normal magic, because with the “help” of the Dementors, these people have only distorted and negative emotions in their hearts. It’s that if they want to use black magic, it will be quick to pick it up again.

“If you use the magic you just did on me on them, it may backfire.” This was Sirius’ advice to Lockhart.

But Lockhart doesn’t think so. After all, awakening a person’s bad memory may not necessarily touch the Death Eaters, but as long as it can disturb.

Some people are like this, often consciously or unintentionally recalling a particular embarrassing experience, or a time that they didn’t feel at the time, but the more they think about it, the more embarrassed they panic.

past. Sometimes when they think back on that embarrassing experience and act awkwardly, they don’t even notice that there is someone next to them now.

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 during the interval.

It can be said that this is the fighting style that Lockhart really established after trying for two years, while Sirius, Moody and Snape did the first three experiments.

If even Snape can’t guard against his hand, then it is estimated that Barty Crouch Jr can’t guard either. Snape can guard against Voldemort’s Legilimency, Master Newt can guard against the effects of Veritaserum by his own willpower, but he can’t guard against high-level Legilimency, and Barty Jr. Can’t bear it. In other words, if you use this trick to deal with Barty Jr., it shouldn’t be a problem.

In addition, Sirius is good at offense, Snape is good at volleying with Legilimency as the core, and Moody is more good at anti-reverse nature. Three different styles of fighting opponents help Lockhart. Continue to perfect your own combat details.

As for Sirius himself, Lockhart suggested that he continue on his own path of “melee mage”.

Transfiguration is Sirius’s best use so far, but the level of enchantment is holding him back: and it’s not very good at resisting psychic spells.

But these weaknesses can be compensated for by one thing—money. Sirius has money now and will only have more money in the future.

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

“Huh?” Sirius said in surprise, “You mean, gun?”

“Yes, you know?”

“Of course I know, but I don’t think that thing works without a wand,” said Sirius, rightfully.

Lockhart didn’t force him: “If you can hit 6 or 7 rounds in a second,

stun spell, even if I didn’t say it. “

“…Okay, but they won’t sell it to me, saying they want a license, where can I buy it?”

Although Sirius said that he didn’t care, he still got through it by accident. It seems that he has not tried it.

“Anywhere,” Lockhart replied.

Before the Dunblane Primary School shooting in 1996, which led to legislation banning private ownership of firearms in 1997, private firearms were allowed in the UK, albeit more than that – requiring a weapons licence, but applying for a licence was almost impossible. There will be no denial, and even convicted, convicted people will not have their licenses revoked, and with the proliferation of private gun workshops, this law is arguably ineffective.

Even after the ban on guns, the United Kingdom still allows private individuals to keep shotguns for hunting purposes, on the grounds that shotguns have an extremely low rate of fire and can only fire two shots at a time.

As long as you can become a member of a hunting club, such as the Fox Hunting Club, then he will automatically have the right to hold a shotgun.

However, Sirius can’t violate the use of this clause. If he takes office in MI5, then he can easily legally own some guns.

“”Do you have that stuff too? ‘ Sirius asked suspiciously.

Lockhart half-smiled: “What do you think?”

“Ha!” Sirius exaggeratedly shouted, “When I take office in that MI5, can I arrest you?”

Lockhart was unmoved: “That one belongs to the police, not MI5, and mine is also legal.”

“legitimate?”

“Yes, there’s a loophole in Muggle law – it’s a pre-1939 gun

The sticks are always counted as “antiques’ and “collectibles’, not weapons.

Lockhart’s expression was rather sly. As a former civil servant, he naturally knew how much those vested interests had spent 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 constraints, they have to do it.

Now Sirius understood: “But all guns are new to us.”

“Yes, it’s all new.”

As Lockhart spoke, he summoned a gadget, lit it up, and threw it back.

aM1911, 190’s semi-automatic pistol…I really love British laws. “

The 226th chapter is still in the east

With Sirius and Moody in place, Lockhart now has a clear baseline for measuring his strength.

If Moody had been placed ten years ago, he would undoubtedly be the strongest wizard other than Voldemort and Dumbledore. He used the missing piece on his nose as a price to “match” and kill Rozier, Voldemort’s number one general, with a ruthless man.

That’s why Voldemort decided that Harry was being escorted by Moody in “The Battle of the Seven Potters”, because he had never heard of the rest except Lupin, and naturally he wouldn’t. Keep them in your eyes.

As for Sirius, it is much inferior. No matter how good he is and how many spells he knows, as soon as he enters the battle state, his brain starts to be unclear, and what dissolves in the blood vessels of his brain changes from IQ to adrenaline. .

Beating him once or twice might be a bit of an accomplishment, but after playing Lockhart, you’ll find that it’s actually not that difficult.

Even if it sounds bad, even Harry might not necessarily lose to the current Sirius. As long as the first wave of Sirius’s offensive is prevented, he can play him around.

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

Everyone has their own fighting style, and Sirius is clearly an offensive player, and it will kill him if you want him to volley and slash.

So at Lockhart’s suggestion, Sirius should go to Muggle special forces training, at least learn to snipe and ambush.

When the Death Eaters accidentally came into contact, instead of just jumping up and down to dodge spells and close punches, he could throw a flashbang to blind his opponent, then quickly emptied his pistol magazine, and finally caught his waist. Rush forward to break the enemy’s neck

If the enemy is still angry at this time.

While that was not bad, Lockhart sincerely hoped that Harry would not learn the dueling skills of his godfather.

If it’s just for training Harry’s dueling skills, Lockhart thinks Snape might be a better teacher because their fighting style is all “volley”

Attacking is easy for the enemy to be in a hurry, but he has a high probability of accidentally dying from a stray arrow; volleying requires too much reaction speed and impromptu decision ability, and only a genius like Harry is suitable for that fighting style.

Snape’s “volley” relies more on Legilimency, which can be targeted in advance only if you know in advance what spell the enemy will use, but if there are too many enemies or the enemy is also very good at Occlumency, then Nep would also be very uncomfortable, as Lockhart has proved with his own actions.

And Lockhart himself, Cedric, and Alastor Moody, who barely escaped the level of “amateur dueling fighters”, are basically “different”, but they don’t know Lupin’s battle. What exactly is style.

But he will soon have a chance to know.

The time came to December, and seeing that Christmas was getting closer and closer, Lupin would also come back from Africa to celebrate the festival. Lockhart wanted to take this rare opportunity to invite all combatants in the Order of the Phoenix to come and fight. one.

Of course, the name is “discussing the security of Hogwarts”

In addition to Lupin and Black, he invited Snape, Weasley Moody and Shacklebolt, and by the way, he also invited Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and Dean Flitwick.

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

In fact, Lockhart also knew that he probably won’t come, but it’s only a matter of time.

It’s another matter if you invite or not, so I still send out an invitation.

Sirius expressed his satisfaction with Snape’s “running away”.

“”The snot is scared. ‘ he said to Lockhart. ‘He knows I’m going to beat him up and make a fool of himself. “

Lockhart was noncommittal about Sirius’ unwarranted confidence.

In school, Snape was indeed often bullied by two of the four of them, and even Snape might not be able to beat them one-on-one at that time, 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 in his heart? Is his spellcasting level as good as he was when he just graduated, I’m afraid he will be muttering.

And Snape’s level is definitely not what it used to be. Not only did he learn a lot of black magic from Voldemort, but also the perfect potion library built during the years of teaching at Hogwarts. The two of them duel, I am afraid that Sirius will not be able to raise his head for three years.

Snape wasn’t so much afraid of Sirius as he was a little ashamed of Mu.

Snape’s absence was unsurprising, but Lockhart was surprised that another man whom Lockhart had thought would not come agreed to come.

That man was Headmaster Dumbledore.

After hearing Lockhart’s calculations, Dumbledore decided to suspend the pace of searching for the Horcrux, and personally came to “talk” to these former members of the Order of the Phoenix.

“What is Dumbledore’s fighting style?” Lockhart couldn’t help asking Moody.

Moody’s magic eye kept spinning: “You don’t have to think about this, Dumbledore won’t be able to use any “style’ against us… Besides, it’s best not to use your invisible spell in front of him. , Dumbledore’s perception of magic is stronger than me with the magic eye. “

Lockhart thought it was right, so he gave up his preparations for invisibility.

But then, he found he didn’t know what to do with Dumbledore.

As if… you can’t deal with it no matter what?

Damn, I wanted to pretend to be.

But, before Lockhart could think about how to lose to Dumbledore with dignity: something else caught him first.

Just one morning on the weekend, a man came outside the screaming shack.

Originally, after hearing the female voice, Lockhart instinctively thought that Gemma came to him again to “class”, so he still only wore warm and comfortable cotton pajamas and opened the door.

But who would have thought that the person outside the door was not actually Fleur Delacour.

Lockhart made a silent apologetic gesture, then spent twenty seconds, magically performing a one-touch dress change, before reopening the door.

Although Lockhart was a little surprised by the visit of the Beauxbatons, what surprised him even more was that Fleur came to find her purpose—she wanted to invite Gilderoy Lockhart to be her Christmas dance partner.

It was only then that Lockhart remembered that the flower arrangement planned for the Big Five competition, the Christmas ball, was actually related to him.

Chapter 337 Sharing Professor Resources

Faced with the invitation of the first beauty in the “HP” series, if Lockhart was completely unhappy, it would be a lie.

“Invite me?” Lockhart repeated. “Why? I thought a beautiful lady like you would have no shortage of dance partners.”

“There is always a shortage of good dance partners.” Fleur said.

She made a point of emphasizing the word “good” so that Lockhart could understand her, which was hard to come by at her current level of English.

Lockhart doesn’t reject outright without emotional intelligence. Even if he rejects others, he usually shows respect for them.

“What a pity,” he said in French, “if only you had come earlier, I’m not as confident and charming as you, thinking I’ll find a dance partner, so I had to ask my friends for help early, Give me some face.”

“You already have an appointment?” Furong’s disappointment was evident, “I thought I was the first.”

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

“Unlikely.” A voice came from behind her.

Without Lockhart speaking, Gemma Farley answered the rest for him.

The village of Hogsmeade is really not that big. When Fleur was still outside the village, Gemma had already learned from an owl that Fleur was coming to Screaming Shack and invited Lockhart to the dance. . It was Slytherin’s younger brother who told her this information in advance.

As a former Slytherin prefect and head of Hogwarts schoolgirls, Gemma even

She left Hogwarts, where there are still her dear juniors, even if the Farleys are indeed not as rich as the Malfoys, but she is much smarter than little Draco

Unlike the little brown-haired witch with unkempt hair and chipmunk-like teeth, this French girl with Veela blood is the enemy.

Although Emma Watson in the “HP” series supported the appearance of “Hermione”, according to the words described by Rowling, Hermione is really not the peak of appearance in the series of novels , not even outstanding before she is dressed, she is a beauty after her teeth are straightened and well groomed, but that’s all.

Considering that Snape, who had a hooked nose, greasy hair, and an extraordinarily rich expression in the novel, was actually turned into a “Twilight”-style high-cold male **** by the movie actor, I can only say that the movie is this thing. It can only be said that it is for reference only.

But Fleur de Lacourt, 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 to disguise Magus or drink People who take the compound decoction can’t replicate her unique temperament.
