Lockhart took out the light extinguisher and injected it with magic, and a ball of light floated on the light extinguisher, which Lockhart kept in his pocket, ready to apparition to the person who called his name.

After flying for a long time, I didn't eat lunch, and it was not early, so let's find a place to eat first, Lockhart rode on a broomstick, looked around, found a small village at random, and flew over.

It's naturally a little inappropriate to go to an unknown person's house for some reason, but Lockhart's confusion spell is already very good - but he doesn't dare to use the elder's wand that can't be controlled, its ability to strengthen spells is so strong that it can hurt people's brains if they are not careful...... Lockhart casts a Confusion Charm with another wand, making himself a good friend or even a member of the Muggle family...... Not only do you sit down and eat together without any sense of disobedience, but you can also chat, and even have a guest room to rest.

He had decided to sleep here today, it was unlikely that there would be Ministry of Magic patrols in such a small remote village, so he would wait here for Hermione or whoever called his name.

While chatting with the Muggle family, Lockhart had learned that the Aurors were also wanted by the Muggle world for creating the terror-terror-attack-attack that had spread across the country last summer...... But this has nothing to do with Lockhart, I wonder if he will be arrested if he goes to the Ministry of Magic like this, or will he be regarded as the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement?

――

In the guest room, Lockhart didn't sleep, he thought as he slowly worked the magic in his body. The other Aurors weren't stupid either, and they certainly wouldn't have been reckless enough to go straight to the agreed meeting place, but now they've destroyed the Auror Pass in order not to be tracked down by the Ministry of Magic, and Moody, the only one who made the contact items, has been sacrificed...... Lockhart is now unable to contact anyone else and can only wait for his name to be called. But he hadn't told anyone other than Hermione about the lights out, and he didn't know if someone who wasn't a lover would touch the magic by calling his name, so things got complicated all of a sudden......

Lockhart suddenly remembered the Deathly Hallows, and now that there was no one here, he took out the Cloak of Invisibility and the Resurrection Stone, plus the Elder Wand in his hand, and put them together. The Deathly Hallows are all here, but what about the Grim Reaper?

There was no reaction, which was to be expected, and if the Grim Reaper did come out, Lockhart wouldn't know what to say to him. Maybe it was time to change his position, Lockhart draped the invisibility cloak over his body, held the resurrection stone in his left hand, and held the elder's wand in his right hand, and used his magic power, and nothing special happened.

So it is very clear that the so-called collection of the Deathly Hallows can become the master of the Grim Reaper, which is just a statement: it does not describe an event, but a state - the person who has obtained all the Deathly Hallows can kill others lightly, or can he face death more calmly?

It's bad luck, return the Cloak of Invisibility to Harry.

Lockhart put away his things and sat back on the bed...... Scrimgeour didn't know if he had run out, and Gardvin...... If these two men were to die, the Aurors would be truly leaderless, scattered and fleeing for their lives, unable to form an effective resistance. What would they have done if they hadn't died? Lockhart racked his brain, but had no clue.

Lockhart tried to summon Moody's spirit with the Resurrection Stone, but failed...... What's going on, could it be that Moody used some forbidden spell that consumed soul power in the final battle, and the soul of the guide was completely gone?

Lockhart put the Resurrection Stone away, but he didn't have anything to say to Moody...... If Moody's soul were summoned by Lockhart and he would say, "I love you?" or would I admire you and respect you? I would be sad if you died? I would probably be laughed at by Moody like a.

――

He sat and meditated until about ten o'clock in the evening, when Lockhart suddenly heard a slight call, someone was calling his name, and it sounded very flustered!

Lockhart stood up and left a £50 bill on the table, although he was a rotten man, he never wanted to be rude or cause trouble for no reason, this was his habit or bottom line, not to mention that the dinner cooked by the hostess and the hospitality of the man were very satisfying to him.

Tidying up his clothes and getting his things in hand, Lockhart began to apparate.

――

"Crackling. "It's a dark wood.

"What a person!" a low roar sounded, and Lockhart, who landed on the ground, and several people in front of him pointed their wands at each other.

"It's Mr. Director!" one of them was the first to breathe a sigh of relief, and several of them put their wands down, and Lockhart was slightly surprised, but also lowered his wand.

"Let go of me!" screamed.

"Don't move, you little. The three men twisted Hermione together, holding her immobile.

"Mr. Director, why are you here yourself," said a tall, thin man flatteringly, "we have captured this girl, she looks like the mudblood who ran away with Harry Potter, but she says she is Penelope Clearwater. ”

"I'm not, I'm not!" Hermione cried out in panic, she thought a savior had come, but it turned out to be a fake Lockhart.

"yes, I'll take a look. At this time, Lockhart realized that these hitters did not know whether there was a real or false Lockhart, and they all thought of themselves as the current director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, "It looks a bit like that." ”

"Hehe, this mudblood species is quite thin and tender. A man grinned and touched Hermione's face, and Lockhart swung his wand, and a blow knocked him staggering a few steps and nearly falling to the ground.

"What's wrong?" the other two men snapped up again, holding their wands against Hermione.

Lockhart shook his head and walked over. "This little girl looks pretty good," reached out and touched Hermione a few times, causing her to struggle violently. "My breasts are a little smaller, but my butt is quite upright, and I like it. ”

Hermione looked at Lockhart in horror, how did this fake Lockhart move, sound, and clothes were the same as the real thing. The three strikers smiled understandingly, letting go of Hermione, letting Lockhart hold her.

The moment they lowered their wands, Lockhart swung his wand, and a strong white light flashed through the three of them, sending them flying out of the air. The other raised his wand in a panic, but his hand was far less than that of Lockhart, and he was knocked unconscious by a stun spell.

――

"Gildero, it's you, that's great!" Hermione realized that this must be the real Lockhart, and she turned around and put her arms around his neck in fear, and Lockhart stroked her shoulder, knocking the man unconscious from the knock out.

"How did you get caught, it's been a long time since you escaped. Lockhart let go of Hermione, "Did anyone else run out?"

"I don't know...... Mr. Scrimgeour told me to go first, and I don't know what happened next, but Black and Harry definitely got out. Hermione wiped tears from her eyes and recounted to him what she had seen. "There are more and more enemies, and many Aurors have been struck down...... Moody's seniors, he ...... It's like I'm crazy......"

Lockhart walked around and examined the bodies of the three knocked out strikers, there were no extra wands, no dark magic marks, he found Hermione's wand and beaded packet, the bag was quite heavy, and he threw the two things back to Hermione.

"Madeye is dead. Lockhart said expressionlessly, he never showed his weakness in front of people, "What do you put in your bag, so heavy?"

"Your book...... And some ** in Headmaster Dumbledore's office. Hermione, still a little frightened and trembling, said embarrassedly, "Plus a bunch of groceries." ”

"Throw my book away, the author will be with you, and what books are you bringing, aren't you too heavy. Lockhart shook his head, "What about these people, they're not Death Eaters, but they're our enemies too. ”

"Oh...... Don't kill them, they're just working for the Ministry of Magic. Hermione looked at Lockhart uneasily, but pleaded for the enemy. "They have families, too, and killing them would reveal that we've been here...... Let's empty their memories. ”

"You, you're just too soft-hearted. "If it were a normal day, Lockhart would have left without consulting Hermione, but who knows if these three men were involved in the noon siege of Moody, and if they were, they would have to die!

Searching their memories, they didn't participate in the morning's operation, so let's spare their lives. Lockhart fought back his anger and erased the memory of their capture of Hermione.

"It's not a good place to stay long, let's go. Lockhart grabbed Hermione's hand and apparitioned again.
