Chapter 310: Chapter 310
"Director Scrimgeour, don't worry, I'm coming back this time just to deal with the false accusations made against me by some ignorant people."
Lockhart looked at the serious-faced the Auror Director in front of him and said with a smile.
At the same time, the surrounding wizards also shouted loudly after hearing it.
"Director Scrimgeour, Professor Lockhart is unjustly accused."
"Yes, look, these are the murderers who framed Professor Lockhart."
"."
Lockhart heard the voices of wizards around him, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Then he waved his hand gently to indicate silence, and said to all the wizards: "Don't worry, I believe the Ministry of Magic is fair and will definitely reveal the truth of the matter."
Well, if it's unjust, I'll make it just, just.
After Scrimgeour heard this, his face was expressionless. As an Auror, he was naturally repelled by Lockhart's behavior that seemed to incite the public.
Even if he knew this was a pure-blood family conspiracy.
Lockhart faced Scrimgeour in front of him, pointed to the wizard captives behind him, and continued: "Director Scrimgeour, these wizards behind are all preparing to attack me when I was in Norway. It is very possible that the mastermind behind this false accusation against me, and preparing to kill and silence me. Please remember to interrogate them, they are the key evidence to reveal the truth. But don't let anyone have the opportunity to kill someone and silence them."
After Scrimgeour heard this, he nodded and said in a deep voice, "Okay, Professor Lockhart. In this regard, we will send special personnel to conduct guard interrogation, don't worry."
Hearing this, Lockhart nodded to express his understanding.
Scrimgeour said here: "Professor Lockhart, can you come back to the Ministry of Magic with me now?"
As he spoke, Scrimgeour touched the wand on his waist with his right hand, stepped slightly sideways, and made a fighting posture.
The Aurors behind them had, at some point, adjusted their position and formed an encircling posture.
It seemed to be warning Lockhart not to think about escaping.
Seeing this, Lockhart smiled slightly and said, "Of course, Director Scrimgeour, I can't wait to uncover the truth. To see who is so anxious to frame me? I just left the UK and arrived in Durmstrang, and they have already started to take action. It is really timely."
At the end, there was a hint of emotion in Lockhart's tone.
Scrimgeour didn't say anything. He took out his wand with his right hand, stretched it forward, leaned slightly, made an invitation gesture, and said, "Professor Lockhart, please."
"Ok then, Director Scrimgeour." Lockhart nodded and said with a smile.
Then, move forward.
But Lockhart had just taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped, causing Scrimgeour to stagnate and a look of caution on his face.
Lockhart, as if he had thought of something, said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Director Scrimgeour, there is something about the prisoners that has not been dealt with yet. I want to tell you."
As he spoke, he gently pulled with his right hand, and a dark red magic rope appeared in his hand, pulling the three sheep behind him in front of him.
At the same time, he explained to Scrimgeour on the side: "Sorry, Director Scrimgeour, there were three powerful wizards who wanted to ambush me before. However, fortunately, I am still strong enough. I turned them into sheep through my own magic to restrict their escape."
"The effect is good, but to release the magic, I have to release it myself, otherwise it will be difficult for you to interrogate them. Look, should I release it now, or should I go back to the Ministry of Magic and release it."
Scrimgeour was silent for a moment, feeling that these three sheep had no magic fluctuations, just like real sheep.
He took a deep look at Lockhart and said, "Sorry for the trouble, Professor Lockhart. Lets go back to the Ministry of Magic and release it."
Hearing this, Lockhart nodded in understanding.
Then, he pulled the rope, pulled the three sheep, and followed Scrimgeour forward.
The three sheep kept struggling, as if they felt the rope tightening with the pulling, intensifying the pain on their bodies, and they could only make bleating sounds.
The wizards on the side, seeing Lockhart's movements, also looked at the three sheep that kept making sound. Various guesses came into their minds, and some even raised their cameras to take pictures.
However, for some reason, a piece of news quietly spread among this group of wizards.
These three sheep were all powerful wizards sent by pure-blood families, but they were captured by Lockhart.
Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office.
Moody stood in front of the desk, staring at the gray-haired old man in front of him.
"Alastor, are you sure it's Gallert? Also, can you be sure that Lockhart really tie with Gallert?"
Dumbledore sighed softly and asked.
"Yes, Albus." Moody nodded and said with certainty: "You know the effect of my magic eye and you know that I will never recognize the wrong person. And we saw the whole process of the two fighting. Although the two did not fight to the death with all their strength, I feel that the strength of the two should be similar. The most important thing is, what's the reason for Grindelwald coming out again? Is it possible that he wants to start another wizarding world war?"
After hearing this, Dumbledore was silent for a moment and said calmly: "Based on my understanding of Gallert, he should have seen something. You don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it. Now, please go back to the Ministry of Magic and keep a close eye on the wizards captured by Lockhart. Try not to give them the opportunity to do anything or silence them."
In response, Moody nodded to express his understanding, hesitated for a moment, and asked again: "Albus, what do you think of Professor Lockhart?"
He said, as if he emphasized again: "The relationship between him and this Squib Riot."
Moody didn't elaborate, but the meaning was clear.
Based on his many years of experience, he believed that Lockhart was definitely closely related to the Squib Riot.
Even, with Lockhart's ability to open portals over long distances.
It's entirely possible to come to London and push the whole situation forward.
Dumbledore fell silent after hearing this.
After a moment, he did not answer Moody's question, but waved his hand to indicate that he could leave.
In response, Moody said nothing more and turned around to leave.
He was full of trust in this old man who had trained him since childhood.
Seeing Moody's leaving figure, Dumbledore closed his eyes slightly and lay on the chair, as if thinking about something.
Moody asked him what he thought of Lockhart, and of course he did, but the question was meaningless.
When Lockhart showed combat power comparable to Grindelwald, he also developed the ability to teleport across countries across long distances.
Plus this commotion of squibs targeting pureblood families.
It's enough to show that Lockhart doesn't want to wait any longer, and even doing this in front of Moody is warning him through Moody——
If he still doesn't change his mind, Lockhart is likely to act on his own, or go it alone.
And the only thing he had to do was not to disturb.
This was the real reason for Dumbledore's silence.
As a top wizard, he is just like Grindelwald and Voldemort.
He has his own ideas, his own philosophy.
These ideas are based on his cognition and his will, and cannot be changed by Lockhart's words.
And his philosophy:
Order is more important than anything else! ! !
Everything can be done slowly, sacrifices can be made, even he can sacrifice.
But the wizarding world should never be plunged into civil war again.
The wizarding world can't afford to be hurt anymore! ! !
