The mana loss of everyone was huge, and it was estimated that no one could fly except Dumbledore and Mag, so everyone walked towards the castle.

"The Horcruxes are easier to deal with than expected, Dumbledore," Moody said.

"Alastor, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. The Horcrux that Voldemort made when he was a student just now, we took a lot of effort to solve it." Dumbledore said helplessly.

"He's a genius wizard, and if he hadn't gone astray, I really doubt he could be a god." McGonagall seemed to be recalling Voldemort's deeds.

"Hmph, there are so many genius wizards, can't you make a breakthrough if you follow the right path, Dumbledore, if there is really such a thing as becoming a god, you should be the latest." Black said disdainfully.

"Unfortunately, I didn't feel any sense of detachment or closeness to God, and I've never heard of anyone who really broke through the boundaries of life and death." Dumbledore glanced at Lockhart, "You know what, Nicole Lemay died a month after meeting Gilderoy, the body was simply buried in the dirt like a Muggle, and his apprentice is now dying."

Although he had guessed it long ago, Lockhart still felt a touch. Is the boundary between life and death really so difficult to conquer? No matter what you do, which way you take, whether it is good or bad, death is always in front of you. waiting for yourself.

Shaking his head slightly, Lockhart shook these meaningless thoughts out of his mind. "How will you explain what just happened?"

"We can't let Harry know all this, and there's a Ministry of Magic spy in the castle." Dumbledore thought for a while, "It's said that there was a dragon in the Forbidden Forest, and we drove it away."

"Will anyone believe that?" Mag wondered, "The movement just now, even a hundred dragons can't make out, not to mention that there are such big traces on the ground over there."

"Hey~" Moody seemed to be disdainful, "That Umbridge is a food bucket. She doesn't know anything, and she doesn't understand anything. She usually interrogates and tortures people who have committed crimes at the Ministry of Magic."

"She's an adult wizard anyway." Lockhart was a little worried.

"Little Gilderoy, I heard that you quarreled with her? Don't lie to her, make her, many people in the Ministry of Magic look down on her, do you think Fudge will put a talent - in front of the strongest white wizard to monitor him? No People will come forward for her."

"Really?" Lockhart was a little moved.

"Of course, the best wizards are protecting Fudge, haha." Moody made no secret of his disdain.

"Mad Eye says so, you do it, the sky falls and he bears it." Black patted Lockhart on the back.

"Don't go too far, Gilderoy." Dumbledore seemed to acquiesce. "Just don't let her sue. Fudge is really annoying."

"Can you do this..." Mag and Lupin were both speechless beside them.

Back at the castle, almost all the students were looking at the direction Lockhart had just destroyed the Horcrux. A huge wave of magic power erupted there just now, followed by a sky-high flame and vision, almost bigger than the Hogwarts astronomy. The towers are going to be tall—the place is still smoking, and the clouds above are twisted into shapes.

Umbridge stood at the door with his hips on his hips, and when he saw this group of people, he immediately went up to meet them.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, what happened over there just now," she asked in a arrogant tone. "Are you experimenting with new magic?"

"Ms. Inspector, an evil dragon came over there just now, and has been driven away by me and the two professors." Dumbledore replied unhurriedly.

"Really?" Umbridge made no secret of her disbelief. "As far as I know, the dragon wouldn't make such a big move."

"That's because you haven't fought a dragon, ma'am." Dumbledore didn't seem to want to talk to her, and after saying this, he walked straight to the castle.

Umbridge was left hanging there, embarrassed, and stomped away after a while.

Lockhart looked at Moody, who was winking at him as if to say: Look, she can't do anything to you.

After the inspector left, a group of students gathered around to ask questions, and Lockhart and others all excused themselves with the excuses they had negotiated.

After returning to the office, Lockhart received a message from the Order of the Phoenix, and Hagrid failed to find an alliance with the giants. He was injured and returned to Hogwarts. Although Lockhart had guessed it long ago, he was still a little annoyed. He didn't understand why after Azkaban had killed so many Death Eaters, why Voldemort still had the ability to persuade these races to join the Death Eaters camp, each along the way. The plot of the original plot left him very uneasy.

He decided to visit Hagrid after class, and when he got to the door, he heard voices inside.

"Stop pretending," said Ron, "you're not good at all!"

Lockhart stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Hagrid, open the door, it's me."

Hagrid opened the door immediately and hugged Lockhart. "Hey, Gilderoy, I almost thought I'd never see you."

Lockhart broke free of Hagrid and went into the house.

The Salvation Trio sat on a stool, Harry and Ron happily greeted Lockhart, and Hermione seemed to want to get up and leave when she saw Lockhart.

Hagrid grabbed Hermione and pressed her back.

"What's the matter with you?" Hagrid said in confusion. "Ron and Harry are in conflict, Hermione is in trouble with Gilderoy, can't you understand me as a wounded person if you have any emotions?"

Hagrid's hair was stuck together with coagulated blood, and his left eye was so swollen that only a slit was left, surrounded by bruised scars. There were wounds all over his face and hands, some still bleeding.

"Hagrid, what's the matter with you?" Lockhart asked angrily. "And, Harry, what happened to you and Ron?"

"Harry kissed Ginny!" Ron shouted.

"What's the matter, what does it have to do with you," Lockhart was secretly happy, it seemed that Ginny had figured it out, "Do you like your sister? You can kiss Hermione too."

Hermione blushed at this time: "You don't need to care who kisses me!"

"Well, I don't care," Lockhart looked at Hagrid. "Tell me what happened."

Hagrid glanced at the Salvation Trio, as if worried.

"Hagrid, they're all reserve members of the Order of the Phoenix, it's okay, let's talk."

"Okay." Hagrid walked over to the huge wooden table in the middle of the room and snapped back a small towel that was covering it. Under the towel was a bloody, pale green lump of flesh bigger than a car tire.

"Hagrid, you're not going to eat this, are you?" said Ron, leaning over to take a closer look. "Looks like it's poisonous."

"This is dragon meat," said Hagrid. "I didn't get it for food, but for healing."

He picked up the meat and slapped it on his left cheek, making Lockhart uncomfortable. Green blood ran down his face into his beard, and he groaned with satisfaction.
