Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

"Thank you, but I didn't expect such a big thing to happen in England when I came." She said a little reluctantly, "That impostor of yours at the Ministry of Magic doesn't know me, I thought it was you who didn't dare to recognize me at first. . . . it turns out that's not the case - do you need any help now . . . I can provide some assistance privately, although the above rules prohibit meddling, but I can sense that the person in charge of the British Ministry of Magic is not a good person."

"Oh, there's no need for help, thank you for your kindness..." Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief, wanting to hug her to show his gratitude, "Just pretend you haven't seen me, if something happens , I will ask you for help."

Lockhart's enthusiastic behavior frightened Hu Xinya, she waved her hands back and forth: "Oh, you're welcome, thanks to you, we can love freely now... Most people are grateful to you."

"What does your free love have to do with me?" Lockhart hugged empty, a little embarrassed.

"Before, because the quantity and quality of wizards were too poor... Every good wizard has to obey the management's arrangement when they get married and have children... For example, me..." She stammered and explained, "But the Hidden World sent out the mountain. Afterwards, there is no need for it, there are thousands of wizards better and stronger than me... As soon as a lot of them are caught, the regulations in this regard will be cancelled."

"Oh, that's it." Lockhart nodded, "Have you got a boyfriend?"

"No, but I think I will find it!" She smiled embarrassedly, "As for giving you such an excellent wizard for the first time, I don't regret it, but you are not my type..."

"Be a friend." It would be troublesome if I was your type, Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief and held out his hand sincerely.

"Well, you are not only my friend, but also the friend of all Chinese wizards!"

At this time, the atrium of the Ministry of Magic arrived. After saying goodbye to Lockhart, Hu Xinya left the elevator, leaving Lockhart and Scrimgeour to continue to take the elevator down. They're going to the Department of Mysteries.

"Who is that?" Scrimgeour didn't understand Chinese, and just stood there for a while, "Looks familiar with you, and knows you're the real Lockhart."

"A friend I met while traveling in China." Strictly speaking, it should be a gun friend. Lockhart said nothing.

"Reliable, you let him go without clearing her memory, what if she leaked our whereabouts?" said Scrimgeour dissatisfied.

"Reliable, she has no reason to betray me, and I have a good relationship with her."

"But she won't let you hug..." Scrimgeour scoffed.

"That's because Chinese girls are more conservative," Lockhart explained.

"The Department of Mysteries." An indifferent voice sounded. The elevator doors opened again.

This is where wizards study unexplained phenomena, which is actually similar to Muggle research institutes. But unlike Muggles, the number of wizards is too small, and it is difficult to gather a group of smart and research wizards to form a complete research team. The lack of basic research results in all wizards only knowing how to use magic, but not magic. why exists. That is, knowing it but not knowing why, in this respect, Muggles have begun to gradually surpass wizards, they have begun to study the deeper structure and mysteries of things, and use the results of research to make their lives better and more powerful— —Maybe dozens or hundreds of years later. Muggles have a way of resisting wizards.

Fortunately, the methods that Muggles can use in the future can also be used by wizards, but the methods of wizards Muggles cannot imitate, and they are not worried that Muggles will bully wizards.

Now the British wizarding world is in chaos, the ordinary researchers of the Department of Mysteries are no longer at work, and the secrecy person who protects the energy supply system requires someone to attack or break into this door. Hart and Scrimgeour easily found the permanently locked door.

"Why isn't the Keeper watching at the door?" Lockhart and Scrimgeour stood at the door and took out the key.

"This shows that there is a strong defense system behind this door and a way to slow the wizard's footsteps... No wizard can go directly to the location of the power supply system before the secret person arrives." Scrimgeour said, "But we have the key, we should It doesn't set off the alarm."

Lockhart inserted the key into the keyhole. A slight wave of magic power appeared inside the door, and then the key became turnable. Lockhart twisted the key, and with a sound of mechanical movement, the door opened.

"The most powerful force in the world is behind the door..." Lockhart lowered his voice. After saying this officially spread rhetoric, I pushed open the door at the same time, and behind the door was a dark...

"Fluorescent flashes." Seeing that Lockhart hesitated, Scrimgeour lit his wand and walked in first.

Lockhart also pulled the key and followed Scrimgeour carefully through the door. He closed the door easily. Opposite the door is a wall, you can go left or right, all are alleys, dark, and very long... There is no end in sight, but Lockhart can sense the faint traces of magic on the wall, it must be It's not as simple as walking past.

"Left or right?" Lockhart asked.

"I'll be on your right, and I'll come back after 10 minutes."

Scrimgeour put a full set of protective spells on himself, looked left and right, cautiously turned left and walked along the trail, Lockhart also followed the gourd, and went right after doing the same.

——

This has been walking for dozens of meters, and there is no end in sight, but you can feel that this passage has an arc, and maybe you will encounter an oncoming Scrimgeour if you keep going forward. There is no front or back of the village, no shop, the walls on both sides and above the head and feet have not changed in any way, and there is no magic attacking them, and anxiety and depression are slowly gathering.

After walking for a few minutes, as expected, a light appeared in the dark passage ahead. Moving on, Lockhart could see a man walking towards him with a lighted wand.

"Who?"

"I."

"Why did you expel me from the Aurors?" Lockhart asked loudly.

"I didn't fire you, you resigned yourself," Scrimgeour replied.

——

The two walked in opposite directions, but came together again.

"Obviously, it's a circle of passages..." Scrimgeour said. "And where's the power system."

"When I walked along the passage to the right, I clearly felt that it had an arc to the left...that is to say, it was a circle with the wall on my left side as the inner circle." Lockhart recalled, " Maybe this circular passage surrounds the energy supply system."

"You mean, we can break this wall to reach the energy supply system?"

"possible."

"Then try - torn apart!"

A spell hit the wall, and the hit brick lit up, but was unscathed.

"What does it mean when it lights up?" Scrimgeour asked curiously.

"Looks like it's activated?" Lockhart leaned in curiously. "Didn't that friend of yours tell you what to do."

"His job is to come and drive people away when they're breaking in," Scrimgeour said. "He's never actually been in that situation and doesn't know what it's like here."

"Uh... No wonder this door doesn't need guards. Someone has to waste a lot of time here." Lockhart said helplessly, "Don't try it blindly, let me see if I can see any doorway. Come."

He lit his wand brighter, and pressed it against the wall to observe the walls in this circular passage. Unlike the ordinary tiles in the hall outside, every wall tile here seemed to be reinforced by powerful magic. But if you look closely, you can see that there are some unknown magic mixed in it. The piece that Scrimgeour hit just now shines because the magic that does not know what it will do is activated.

He looked at the next one, and then made a new discovery: the magic on one wall tile he couldn't understand was because it was actually connected with the magic patterns on all the surrounding wall tiles. The magic patterns on all the bricks are put together to form a complete magic!

"It looks like the designer of this passage wants us to activate all the bricks here, and then there might be a door open or something..." Lockhart concluded.

"Are you sure, if so, I'll do it." Scrimgeour looked at the bricks above his head. "I'll go this way, you'll go there, and see who has more bricks activated."

"Don't be so troublesome." Lockhart smiled confidently: "There are thousands of wall tiles here, do you want to activate the past little by little."

"Ah—yes—" Scrimgeour realized.
