Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

At this time, they had already arrived at the entrance of the Auror application office. Unlike the striker application office, the entrance of the Auror application office was deserted, and there was no one there—after all, the requirements for being an Auror were relatively high, and it was dangerous...

Lockhart pushed open the door and found that Albert and Scrimgeour's sons were sitting behind the desk, one was flipping through the applicant's information on the desk, and the other was resting his chin on his hand with a bored expression on his face.

——

"Willow, why are you here, why aren't you looking at your father?" Lockhart asked, frowning.

"He woke up in the morning and insisted on driving me to the Ministry of Magic to help, so here I am..."

"Awake?" Lockhart's eyebrows stretched. "Okay, now I'll give you two something to do. Give these two lads some Veritaserum."

"Harry still wants to drink Veritaserum?" Albert looked surprised. "Now our Veritaserum depends entirely on the support of Professor Snape and the stock of the Ministry of Magic. We can't waste it like this."

"That's it..." Lockhart thought about it, "Forget it, let's register it for them. Others still have to check when they come, and it shouldn't be saved."

"Know."

——

After a simple registration, the two boys have become reserve Aurors. Because the senior Aurors have been wiped out, Lockhart now has to serve as a guest instructor.

"Let's go, take you to get your own cubicle, which will be your Auror office in the future." Lockhart led the three young people out of the application office: "I have taught you all the fighting skills, In fact, your strength has far surpassed that of ordinary wizards, and if you want to improve your combat ability, you can only go to actual combat."

Lockhart put his arms around Hermione's shoulders and walked towards the elevator: "But Aurors are not strikers, and they are not qualified Aurors who can fight. You just joined today. I want to teach you the basic principles of Aurors first."

He took out three pamphlets and handed them to three people, including Hermione. As soon as Hermione received it, she couldn't wait to open it and read it.

""Auror Rules"." Hermione read out, "The name is so vulgar and out of style."

"It would be great if it was "How to Make an Auror" or "Instant Auror in Thirty Days." Harry also opened the booklet.

"It's a good suggestion. But 30 days for quick training?" Lockhart smiled. "Indeed, you don't need 30 days to learn all the knowledge in this booklet. But to truly become a qualified Auror, you need 300 days." Not enough. Theoretically, after completing your studies, you have to participate in an internship with an old Auror for two to three years—sorry, we don’t have so many Aurors now, so it’s very likely that you newbies will need to cooperate with each other and spend the novice period together gone."

"We'll take care of ourselves," said Harry.

"Now turn to the title page of the booklet. Before you start studying, you must first memorize the Thirteen Rules of Auror and keep them in your heart." Lockhart himself took out a copy and opened the cover: "The first rule : Be vigilant at all times, I won’t explain this, everyone can understand it, Mad Eye likes to say this sentence. I don’t need to say more about its importance!”

"Well, always be vigilant, always be vigilant, always be vigilant..." Hermione couldn't help saying a few times. When she was a student, she relied on this trick to carry things.

"I almost forgot to mention that this "Auror Code" is said to have been rewritten by Moody more than twenty years ago." Lockhart said, "There were no thirteen rules before—well, look at the second one: It’s easy to understand that he doesn’t underestimate any enemy. Why was the mysterious man killed by Harry’s mother using “Sacrifice Protection”? If he beat Harry’s mother with a paralyzing spell first so that he lost the ability to resist. Oh—— —Of course, I am not teaching you to learn from Voldemort to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but you must remember that when dealing with a threatening object, you must first make the opponent lose the ability to resist. Disarming is not enough, because some magic can be done without a wand cast."

"Understood." Harry nodded.

"Article 3. Keep the amulet anytime, anywhere, don't ask why, just do it! When you are saved by this good habit a few times,

Naturally understand its importance. Lockhart smiled. "Fourth." Attack the person with the wand pointed at you first. This principle is similar to the second one. You must know that there are many ways to make people who don’t seem to hurt you use evil spells on you—such as polyjuice potion transformation, Imperius Curse, and even people you trust really Betrayed and so on. In conclusion, if someone suddenly points their wand at you for no reason, don't ask stupidly what happened. Get ready for battle now. "

"En." The three young men just nodded in agreement.

"Similarly, there are no special circumstances—such as: healing others, or adding status to teammates during battle, concealment, iron armor spells, etc...It is very rude to point your wand at others, and you are not allowed to make such jokes. "Lockhart recalled a few Aurors he knew, and suddenly felt a little emotional. "Article 5, the more desperate the situation is, the more calm and calm you need to experience it for yourself, you are all people who have experienced battles. Article 6, use the death curse to deal with criminals who may use the death curse - it is written like this, But don't take it narrowly, if you're fighting a dark wizard who has serious ill intentions for you, hit him with whatever spell you know. Don't disarm him like Harry did when he was a kid—"

Both Hermione and Ron looked at the Savior, and Harry scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Article 7, don't think it's impossible before trying all the methods. Ron should remember this, and Harry should have a deep understanding of it. Remember how many difficulties we encountered on the way to escape. If you think you can't win, then Give up, I don’t know where I was buried together. Article 8, constantly strengthening your own strength is the best self-protection, experience it yourself. Article 9, when performing special tasks, don’t care about those wizard laws, you guys I know that Aurors have special immunity. This privilege still exists in the new wizarding law, but it cannot be used as an excuse to mess around. Any means of murder and arson are acceptable, but if you are not on a mission, even if you punch a Muggle with your fist, you will be criticized."

"It's so miserable..." Harry was a little uneasy.

"Just kidding, if you really beat a Muggle, as long as you don't take the initiative to say it, who will control you! Article 10, think about the orders of the superiors, because he may also be under the Imperius Curse, this requirement It’s a bit high, but if the above order is too outrageous, needless to say, the Aurors will be suspicious. In fact, I always feel that you will understand if these few items are not included, maybe Mad Eye is just to fill up the thirteen items.”

"Why, Mad Eyes, he likes the number thirteen?" Hermione asked, tilting her head. "But both Muggles and wizards think thirteen is unlucky."

"Maybe he doesn't like it. Crazy Eyes... how should I put it, he always seems to be fearless. He will do what others dare not do, and he will do what others think is unlucky." Lockhart said helplessly. : "He always tells us triumphantly, don't be superstitious..."

"But he's still dead." Ron said a little lonely, "I have to believe in evil."

"Remember the eighth rule, constantly improving your own strength is the best self-protection, nothing else can protect Aurors who are on missions outside." Lockhart seriously corrected Ron's thoughts. "I heard from Rufus that there were only seven before Moody forcibly changed the code to thirteen. But such auspicious numbers did not stop the annual Auror sacrifices...instead, Moody showed up, with Bold and cautious, as well as superb wizard fighting skills, captured the dark wizard in one go, and even expanded Azkaban once - this way of using violence to control violence, on the contrary, reduced the Auror mission sacrifice rate to the lowest point. Anyway, my second I spent more than two years with Mad Eye when I was about ten years old, and I never heard of an Auror dying."

"That's the way it is. There is nothing auspicious or unlucky about the number itself. Some numbers seem magical, but they have some special features in mathematical research and actual calculation." Hermione said: "As for thirteen is unlucky, then It comes from myths, but most of the myths were made up by our ancestors who were bored and had no entertainment. It's just that people at that time had never seen "novels" and were not poisoned by rumors. What he said was true. But the storyteller didn’t know to tell the listeners that the above is purely fictional after telling the story, and he even had the idea of ​​deceiving others to make his own profit...so it was passed on from generation to generation. What we make up becomes a custom or a myth.”

"That makes sense, Hermione." Lockhart smiled. "Maybe that's the case. Well, no matter whether these thirteen rules are made up or not, we just remember them all. Rule 11: No matter what Survive at all costs, and every Auror is a precious resource—run or shout when you encounter a dark wizard who can't beat you, don't get angry, you are not fighting alone, the entire Ministry of Magic stands behind the Auror. And Due to the principle of confidentiality, unless you are as sharp as Mad Eye and the Ministry of Magic is determined to make you a well-known Auror, even if you succeed in being a hero, only your colleagues will know and it will not make headlines... Article 12, also I think one of the most important rules is: If you love your family, hide them. The reason this rule is impressive is that you remember the loyalty test I said a few minutes ago."

"remember."

"When I saw the 'parents' being caught in front of me, I completely broke down..." Lockhart was not embarrassed by this, he loved his family, and there was no shame in it: "So when Mad-Eye told me to When I hid my family, I immediately kept this one firmly in my heart, and I will never forget it.”
