Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Chapter 314 Lockhart’s Letter

Alexis, who left the principal's office, thought he should be angry, but unexpectedly, he acted calmly.

This kind of calmness surprised even him.

But if you think about it, everything happens for a reason.

He probably realized it a long time ago, but he just didn't think about it.

Dumbledore is known as the greatest white wizard, the veritable headmaster of Hogwarts, and the respected chief of the Wizengamot... These names destined Dumbledore to be a prudent and peaceful man.

On the other hand, it is precisely because of his prudence and advocating peace that he became the greatest white wizard, the principal of Hogwarts, and the highly respected chief of the Wizengamot...

His reputation and his style of doing things complement each other, which already determines that he will not agree with Alexis's views.

Alexis grew up beside Grindelwald since he was a child and was influenced by the thoughts of dark wizards. It can be said that he is the successor trained by Grindelwald.

Only later, because of a situation that Grindelwald himself did not expect - he really treated Alexis as his own child - did he end the "dangerous ideological indoctrination" of Alexis.

Otherwise, Alexis would have been setting fires everywhere with her wand.

Although Grindelwald was terminated in time, Alexis has been deeply influenced by him. His every word and action, his thoughts, and thinking patterns are exactly the same as Grindelwald.

At his core, he is just as aggressive as Grindelwald.

It's just that he is still young and not as reserved as Grindelwald.

Based on this, it is understandable that Alexis and Dumbledore have completely different views on the same matter.

Alexis returned to her office calmly with Grindelwald's letter in her arms.

He accepted Dumbledore's statement.

After listening to his speculation and the evidence provided, Dumbledore said that he would conduct an investigation and wait until everything confirmed his suspicion before taking any action.

Alexis accepted Dumbledore's approach, just as Dumbledore did not stop his plan, and the two of them kept the same.

He gently touched Grindelwald's envelope, thinking to himself: This is probably how Dumbledore should have treated him.

After losing Grindelwald, the current relationship between him and Dumbledore is probably the correct and appropriate state.

Horn flew from outside and landed on the table, interrupting Alexis' remembrance.

A crumpled letter was thrown on the table. Horn jumped slightly and made a gurgling sound in his throat. Then he flew to the wooden box, stretched out his wings and flapped it dissatisfiedly.

"I'll make you new jerky tonight."

Alexis picked up the letter and said to Horn.

Horn did not trust Alexis and flapped his wings against the wooden box again.

"Now the house elves are preparing dinner."

Alexis looked at the envelope, but it was unsigned.

"cuckoo cuckoo"

Horn continued to shout.

"Wait a little longer and I'll make a little more for you tonight."

Alexis comforted Horn and was a little curious about the unsigned letter.

Horn flew to the table, pecked his fingers gently with his pointed beak, cooed twice in dissatisfaction, and flew away along the window.

It was quiet again in the office.

Alexis tore open the envelope and poured out a coin.

Like the last coin, it comes from Egypt.

Alexis already knew where the letter came from.

The difference from last time is that in addition to the coins, there is also a piece of letter paper in the envelope.

"Let's make peace!

I know what you're doing, in exchange for the secrets I know

Your friend Gilderoy Lockhart"

There were only three lines of writing on the letter paper. The handwriting was rough and each letter was greatly enlarged. The three lines of words took up the entire letter paper.

Alexis scoffed and turned the letter over.

"I was serious!!!

I know Muggles are hunting wizards! ! !

Let's join forces! ! ! "

There are three more lines behind it.

Alexis frowned and picked up the coins on the table, flipping them back and forth on his fingertips, thinking quietly.

Alexis didn't care at all about the three lines of words on the front.

As we all know, Lockhart is a big liar. In Alexis' view, he probably got into some trouble that he couldn't handle, so he wrote to him, intending to use an unfounded secret in exchange for letting him Lockhart rescued.

Just like last time.

If he believed it, he would most likely be fooled by Lockhart just like last time.

But the words on the back are different.

Lockhart mentioned Muggles hunting wizards.

This shows that Lockhart is likely to know that Muggles are preparing to deal with the wizarding world.

Is this why Lockhart ran away?

Alexis thought of the last time she joined forces with Lockhart.

Until now, he still didn't know why Lockhart was jointly hunted by the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government.

Given that Lockhart used the Oblivion Charm on him and Christie, and that Lockhart escaped alone at the last moment, leaving them behind, Alexis has reason to believe that Lockhart's statement that "I got the secret from Muggle officials" "The statement is false.

But now it seems that maybe that is not false.

Maybe Lockhart really learned some secrets from Muggle officials about the Muggle government's preparations for action against the wizarding world.

If that was the case, he might need to go to Egypt again.

As long as he got the Muggle official's name from Lockhart, he could go find the Muggle official and bring him to Dumbledore.

In this way, not only can he know the specific plans of the Muggle government, he can even make Dumbledore change his stance and consider supporting him!

The only question now is, where is Lockhart hiding?

He could not leave England for long, and it would be unwise to linger too long in Egypt in search of Lockhart.

The operation to rescue Slughorn two months ago and Lucius's investigation results indicate that the Muggle government has begun to take action. So far, nothing has changed, but no one can tell, maybe one day. Awakening, the Muggle government will suddenly take action.

If he is not in the UK at this time, the situation will be very passive.

The best solution for now is to find someone to take his place and go to Egypt to find Lockhart.

But considering Lockhart's superb skills in the Oblivion Curse, Alexis felt that he was worried about letting anyone go.

Black has a carefree personality, and the most likely result of letting him go is that he will be tricked by Lockhart and his memory will be messed up.

Lupine still needs to stay at Hogwarts, unable to escape at all.

Arthur was in charge of Quidditch matters and couldn't leave.

Lucius was energetic enough, but in Alexis's opinion, he and Lockhart were almost the same.

Alexis tried to imagine Lucius fighting Lockhart, and couldn't help but laugh.

When the two of them fight, the most likely thing is to feed each other.

Then there is only one candidate left - Christie!
