Chapter 783: Plan
"No, Mom, Gildero will be able to get us out. The little girl jerked her head back and argued without thinking. She believed everything Lockhart said to her, he told her about his experience, her eyes sparkled, and she patted her mother's arm with confidence, "Think of the amazing things he's been through, we'll be saved, Gildelow is a good wizard, he can magic, nothing can stump him." ”
"Of course, baby, he'll get us out. Nancy coped with her daughter, looking at Lockhart in confusion.
But Lockhart didn't look at her, he had just swept the little girl's confident gaze, and suddenly he didn't dare to look at the other man's clear eyes, he turned his head and coughed lightly, annoyed that he had habitually shown off too many adventures to the little girl, which were not actually his own.
Seeing this, Nancy lowered her head in frustration, her daughter was young and didn't understand, how could she, as an adult, not know the desperate facts that these performances of the other party illustrated.
"Gildero, tell your mother that you can get us out. You can do magic, you can do anything. The little girl urged again and again, eager to let the hero in her mind prove herself.
Lockhart's eyes were fixed on his toes on the floor, he was really embarrassed at this time, he didn't want to disappoint the little girl, and he didn't want to deceive her, but how could he take these two Muggles away in this prison where apparition was forbidden? Even he didn't dare to think of escaping, Lockhart's brows furrowed and he wanted to find an excuse to slip away, just because he lowered his head, the little girl didn't see his look, but continued to urge him.
Nancy looked up sharply, and with the last hope of the last hope, she tentatively said: "Gildero, you want to get out of here too, don't you? I see that they are not friendly to you, you are not the same kind as them, if you stay here for a long time, sooner or later you may end up in the same situation as us, you can take us with you." ”
The smile that Lockhart had been trying to maintain froze on his face, Nancy was right, as the Dark Lord's men increased, and the number of wizards who were more capable than himself increased, he felt that his role was getting smaller and smaller, and he might be killed by the mysterious man or one of his bad-tempered subordinates one day.
The blonde wizard's hand couldn't help but press the Death Eater mark on his arm, with which the Dark Lord could determine his position at any time. And if he sneaks back like this, then the Ministry of Magic will probably think of himself as a Death Eater, as a prison escape criminal, and even blame some of the previous attacks on his head, which is why he has never dared to escape.
Suddenly, a vague plan was born in Lockhart's mind, his eyes narrowed, and he speculated in his heart about the feasibility of this plan, if he rescued the Muggle mother and daughter who had received his favor, with the testimony of the Muggle mother and daughter, he could prove that he was forced to join the Death Eaters, and he had helped these Muggles along the way, and finally helped the mother and daughter to escape, maybe in this way, he could gain the trust and understanding of the Ministry of Magic, and even the adventure story he wrote this time could be re-sold- The authenticity of "Breaking with the Death Eaters" this time is my own experience, although many of the contents have been artistically embellished by myself...
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this plan was feasible, and if he took the initiative to participate in the next Muggle arrest, he could secretly try to get in touch with the old book fans who were his most loyal and obsessed with him, and secretly write to them to ask them to help him prepare a portkey - even if he turned out to be a liar, Lockhart was confident that some of his die-hard fans would believe that he was only framed in a few words.
In this way, if you can find an opportunity to sneak out for a while and secretly retrieve the portkey, then even if this terrifying mysterious lair prohibits apparition, you can secretly take Nancy's mother and daughter away through the portkey.
It was just a temporary plan for Lockhart, and this time, he didn't want to be a liar, he wanted to experience what it was like to be a hero of his kind. The premise is that he only plans to give it a try as long as the final plan is feasible, and Lockhart, who has just gained courage, can't help but find a way back for himself with some cowardice.
If you really want to risk the danger and rescue Nancy's mother and daughter together, then you have to plan carefully, keep a low profile, and you must go to the British Ministry of Magic to let them protect you. Although Lockhart knew from the Mystics and the Death Eaters about the actual situation of last year's Ministry of Magic War, not the Dark Lord that Allen fought against independently, but it was indeed a fact that most of the Mysteries and his Death Eaters' actions in Britain ended in failure, so Lockhart even resented Harris who sent him to prison, even if he thought that Alan Lockhart was a fact that ended in failure. No matter how strong Harris is personally, but in essence, he is a liar who is trying to promote and deceive, and in the end he has to admit that only with the help of the British Ministry of Magic and the Harris family, he can only ensure his life by returning to the United Kingdom, which is guarded by Dumbledore and Allen, two of the world's most powerful wizards.
Lockhart, who had an idea in his heart, raised his head to look at the little girl who was looking at him anxiously because he had not answered for a long time, and suddenly confidently showed his eight signature white and shiny teeth, "Lovely little Patricia, don't worry! He waved his hand, as if neither the cage, nor the forest, nor the Death Eaters could stop them, "I already have some eyebrows about this, and believe me, you will get out of here alive." ”
After saying that, without waiting for Nancy to react, Lockhart pointed to his chest, blinked his eyes, and said, "The Order of the Merlin, Third Degree, an honorary member of the Defense Against the Dark Arts League, a five-time winner of the Wizarding Weekly Award for the Most Charming Smile - I'll figure out a way to get you out, and you'll be the main character in my new book." This book is sure to be sought after by the wizarding world, and you will all become celebrities in the wizarding world!"
With that, Gilderoy Lockhart gave them the rest of the food, then winked mischievously at the little girl, and turned away from the dark cage in a slightly coquettish gesture.
Early the next morning, inside the Ravenclaw Tower.
Alan came to the training room in the tower, and after repeatedly checking whether there was anyone near the training room, then blocked the door of the training room, and after arranging a lot of anti-detection magic without taking time and effort, he skillfully found the camera that Luna secretly placed in several places in the training room and threw it out, and then Alan turned into an Animagus, turned into a phoenix and began to practice the "courtship dance" in front of the mirror.
Hermione's notes didn't have a lot of content, she had to sift through them from so many materials than it took to practice using them, and the movements drawn on them were not difficult, but the posture of flapping his wings and wagging his tail and retracting his head made him very awkward, but fortunately, without anyone else present, he could continue to practice and adjust, so as to prepare for a while and officially start implementing the plan.
