Chapter 1299 Imprisoned “Demon King”

The next morning, the Hogwarts Great Hall suddenly became lively again and again.

The changes at Hogwarts Castle are still somewhat hidden for the time being, but the news from the Daily Prophet is not so subtle.

Perhaps eager to restore the decline, Cornelius Fudge introduced the arrests against Lockhart in a high-profile manner, as well as the rationality of the arrests.

He was accompanied by officials from the International Confederation of Wizards, and a serious-looking Kingsley – who is now temporarily serving as the head of the Auror office, but a new appointment has not been made because Cornelius Fudge is in the process of being impeached At this stage, of course, the arrest of Lockhart was naturally directed by him.

“Developed the werewolf potion, advocating that werewolves and wizards are at the same level, and trying to juxtapose all the squibs, aliens and wizards…”

Cornelius Fudge looked indignant in front of reporters, his chest heaving violently, like a fighter in a duel.

“What an appalling and bad idea this is, the Ministry of Magic reacted immediately after learning of the situation.”

“Under the command of Acting Director Kingsley Shacklebolt, we successfully arrested Gilderoy Lockhart in the pub next to the Salzburg Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. From what we have now, Mr. Lockhart He seems to have close ties with a number of werewolves, and he even preaches that werewolves are harmless and heal werewolves – as to how he fell from a dark fighter to what he is today, the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, the International Confederation of Wizards and many others have also We are continuing our in-depth investigation and evidence collection.”

Maybe the little wizards at Hogwarts can’t understand the subtleties of magical politics for the time being, but they can see changes from the content of professors and newspapers.

Umbridge’s arrogance has returned a little bit. Now, except during grammar class, she now asks around with a book whenever she has time.

“Professor Lockhart” has had a lot of success at Hogwarts, and she plans to dig out more black material and find a chance to return to the Ministry of Magic.

Professor McGonagall ignored her. The older catgirl is more worried about another problem: Elena hopes to recruit werewolves next year.

The news of the two “young” principals is limited to McGonagall’s knowledge, so the decision on the recruitment list will ultimately be made by the vice-principal Professor McGonagall.

Professor Lupin began to communicate with Professor McGonagall frequently. People didn’t know what the two were talking about, but there were rumors of little wizards hearing Professor McGonagall and Professor Lupin talking about the word “Wolfman”. Not surprisingly, professors Also following the Lockhart incident – at least in the eyes of the students, the reasoning is sound.

In addition, with the follow-up report of the Daily Prophet, everyone learned more details about the “arrest operation”.

Gilderoy Lockhart did not go easy on his hands, he put up a stubborn resistance in that tavern as far away as Austria.

According to the Ministry of Magic, Lockhart’s real magic power belongs to the “Demon King class”, which is at the same level as Dumbledore.

Faced with such a wizard at the level of “Dumbledore”, the British Ministry of Magic and the International Federation of Wizards convened nearly forty wizards.

After a fierce battle, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic finally managed to arrest Gilderoy Lockhart after paying the price of knocking down more than a dozen wizards.

Since the fighting took place late at night and the “arrests” were carried out in secret, the only way to understand the intensity of the fight was through Kingsley Shacklebolt’s Q&A, and the following day’s “battlefield photos” “To imagine – one rarely sees such a horrific, intense scene:

The pub belonging to the “Aibo-Broken Cauldron Restaurant Group” was almost razed to the ground.

There were deep potholes all around, and the charred wood shards were still smoking, but in some places they looked like they had been struck by lightning.

Judging from the follow-up feedback from the local Ministry of Magic officials, most of the house fragments and wreckage were destroyed by magic, and the repairing spell could not be restored.

As more details and comments from famous people in the magical society were revealed one after another, people’s attention gradually began to shift.

For the first time in the history of the Ministry of Magic, an “ordinary Auror” challenged a “Demon King” wizard.

This means that what Cornelius Fudge and the Magical Government have always insisted has been confirmed – Aurors can also arrest and restrict top wizards.

Of course, on the other hand, Lockhart’s personal magic power has also become the focus of discussion.

Without any advance preparation, facing the siege of more than 40 elite Aurors, he could knock down a dozen people in one go.

“Professor Lockhart is so powerful, I knew that most of his autobiographies had some modest elements.”

Seamus said excitedly that he has now become a big fan of Lockhart, and has been promoting it tirelessly.

“A ‘Demon King-level’ wizard—I didn’t expect that there would be such a level. If Umbridge had met Professor Lockhart—”

“Then she probably can’t find even half a piece of scum now. That nosy woman…”

George Weasley said bitterly, looking very dissatisfied while chopping the steak in front of him.

Although the “acting principal” farce has temporarily come to an end, some school rules promoted by Umbridge have continued to be implemented.

Now the love of male and female students at Hogwarts has begun to be regulated, and all “premarital sex” is explicitly prohibited, and parents will be supervised.

Even if Mrs. Weasley didn’t like Umbridge at all, she still sided with Umbridge when it came to George and “Miss Peach”.

You know, George will graduate in more than two years. Molly doesn’t want her son to become a father in advance while he is still in school.

Percy and Charlie at the same table exchanged glances of schadenfreude, and did not continue to laugh at George at this time.

Charlie picked up a glass of juice and took a sip carefully—in Gryffindor House, juice is limited supply—said seriously.

“I heard that Professor Apocalis originally suggested that Mr. Lockhart take over as Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, but after much consideration, Professor Lockhart chose to continue teaching literature in grammar class instead of teaching magic. It seems that , he should think that his magic is too powerful, as the content of teaching lower grade students may be beyond the outline – the same is true of Professor Dumbledore, the theory and strength of those top wizards are too high, even teaching the seventh grade. It’s too wasteful.”

“Well, then what do you think…the wizards we know are those of the ‘Demon King’ class?”

Ron asked curiously, his focus was mainly on other aspects, “What exactly does ‘Demon King’ mean?”

In fact, most of the young wizards are more interested in this – they are more likely to understand the remarkable record than politics.

“Demon King” seems to have become a goal, and everyone is discussing its definition and which wizards have reached this level.

“You can dominate small wars, and have the potential to overturn small countries… It’s almost impossible to fill the gap with numbers.”

Ginny Weasley’s voice drifted faintly from the side, and she glanced at the curious brothers.

“It was introduced in the internal publication of the Witch Association that the so-called Demon King is a walking natural disaster.”

“Lockhart’s Demon King… Either he didn’t really reach that definition, or he didn’t fully display his strength—”

“Similar to a wizard of the level of Professor Dumbledore, the number of elite Aurors has no meaning in the face of ‘Demon King’ wizards. The top wizards can even destroy a city with one blow with all their strength. Do you think that in such a powerful and unreasonable In front of power, what is the difference between fifty people and five hundred people?”

Ginny said with excitement in her eyes, her eyes twinkling with longing, vaguely reminiscent of the four witches of Hogwarts.

“There are a lot of known ‘Demon King-level’ wizards, and there are several at Hogwarts—”

She turned her head to look in the direction of the faculty seats at the end of the auditorium, and pointed her fingers.

“In addition to Professor Dumbledore, Professor Nicole Lemay, Professor Newt Scamander, Professor Otto Apocalis…”

“The three of them are definitely not much weaker than the Headmaster. In addition, Tom the Dark Lord who was killed in public, and Grindelwald who was imprisoned in Nurmengard.”

“Many of the famous wizards recorded in the history of magic are demon kings. When you want to compare whether a person is demon king, just imagine whether this person can sit on an equal footing with the above wizards. Negotiate at the table, or draw out a wand in a tit-for-tat confrontation to see if he fits.”

“Huh? Speaking of which, the deans of the four academies, and the Minister of Magic… is this still a long way off?”

At this moment, Ron raised his eyebrows and glanced suspiciously at his youngest sister.

“Then I don’t think Professor Lockhart can reach that level—”

“I’m not sure, but even if it doesn’t reach it, it should be pretty close.”

Lee Jordan suddenly stepped in, glanced at the others at the table mysteriously, took out a newspaper from his arms and shook it.

Different from the common publications, the layout, text, and even the color matching look a bit unfamiliar.

“This is Armenia’s daily newspaper. I have a distant cousin who happens to be there to help Gringotts explore the ruins.”

“Do you still remember the werewolf encirclement and suppression operation not long ago?”

“The Umbridge one?” Ron asked uncertainly.

“Oh, of course it’s not that thing,” Lee Jordan snorted lightly and quickly unfolded the daily newspaper in his hand, “I’m talking about the all-European operation.”

“You still remember, the Ministry of Magic of various countries was breached that day – because most of the Aurors gathered in the Armenian forest, and planned to take advantage of the gathering of the werewolves to encircle those guys~www.readmtl.com~ But you certainly don’t know the wolf Why are people gathering there? They’re out for revenge, or a fight to the death—”

“A fight to the death? Are those werewolves planning to gather together to elect a great chief to rule the werewolves of all Europe?”

Seamus also came over, looked at Lee Jordan curiously, and made random guesses excitedly.

“Do not–”

Lee Jordan pointed to the center of the cover.

“Professor Lockhart, do you remember the book “Wandering with Werewolves”?”

“Werewolves from all over Europe assembled to trouble Lockhart, but they didn’t expect—”

“A mantis is coming from the Ministry of Magic to catch cicadas, and the oriole is behind?” Ron said suddenly.

“Almost… From our reports, it looks like this…”

Lee Jordan shrugged. He didn’t continue to explain, because everyone had now seen the contents of the daily newspaper in his hand.

【1VS500? ! A young legendary wizard from England defeats the European werewolves alone! 】

“The Ministry of Magic… I mean, all the Ministry of Magic…”

“It’s just a clown usurping credit.”

Li glanced at the classmates around him, put the newspaper on the table with satisfaction, and said firmly.

“Professor Lockhart solved the werewolf problem. I believe that Professor Lockhart will never collude with werewolves.”

“Wait and see, Cornelius Fudge and the International Federation of Wizards, it’s not that easy to overthrow and discredit Professor Lockhart.”
