Chapter 85: The First Attack
After that, the entire Order of the Phoenix was in a state of tension. As the weather grew colder and snowier, Lockhart used his "fool's charm" against Umbridge a few more times, and now almost the entire school was passing the magic spell except for Umbridge himself.
That night, Lockhart was sleeping soundly, when suddenly, the note from the Order of the Phoenix suddenly vibrated and woke him up.
"The enemy has appeared, come to the office. ”
Lockhart hurriedly put on his clothes, put a warm spell on himself, and rushed out of the room, and when he came to the principal's office, it seemed that he was waiting for him, the door was not closed, and it was already full of people-
"What's wrong?"
"Ron's dad - Mr. Weasley - has been attacked by a giant snake. Harry told Lockhart.
When Harry finished speaking, he seemed to bow his head in disbelief, and Ron looked at Harry in fear, at Lockhart, and then at Dumbledore.
Dumbrador had already stood up, moving so fast that Harry was startled.
"Gildero, you go over with the portkey now. With that, Dumbledore began to command the murals on the wall.
Lohar nodded, immediately picked up the old kettle on the table, and after a burst of vertigo, it reached the Order of the Phoenix headquarters.
Black, Lupin, Moody and Tonks are ready.
"The Weasleys had already passed with a portkey, and we were off at once. Moody's said.
The five men got into the fireplace, through the illegal fireplace line of guò, to the Ministry of Magic.
"Over here!" Moody led the group through the hall to the door of the Department of Mysteries.
Mrs. Weasley and his eldest son were already inside, holding the wounded Mr. Weasley on the ground.
"The snake is over there!" shouted Mrs. Weasley.
"A snake?" Moody turned his eye suspiciously, "Jasmine, you take Arthur to St. Mungo's first, and the others come over." ”
The crowd rushed in the direction she was pointing, scattering and searching carefully between the shelves.
The crystal balls on the shelves shimmered mysteriously, and I wonder if there were any prophecies about himself in them, Lockhart thought to himself.
"This way!" Lupin shouted, casting a spell, but he didn't hit it, and instead hit a few crystal balls.
"It's coming!" Lockhart hurried over, and sure enough, he saw a snake swimming frantically towards the door.
"Stop it!" Moody shouted angrily.
"Obstacles! Obstacles! Mire Magic!" but all the spells, like mud cows entering the sea, either had no effect or slipped away.
"Avada suo!" Lockhart was furious, and a green light rushed over, almost knocking the snake away, but a light shield appeared on the snake's body, blocking the spell.
"What is this!" Blake said angrily, shuttling between the shelves, "I can't hit it." ”
The snake swam out of the door and towards the hall, and everyone chased after it, casting spells, but it couldn't help it, and a large number of crystal balls around it were shot down, and they kept falling to the ground with a crisp sound, and from time to time there were a strange prophecy or two.
"Keep attacking, that shield must have a limit, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to run so desperately!" Moody roared, "Use the Damage Spell! ”
"Blade is gone!Shattered!Shattered!Broken in one go!" Lockhart felt like he was running out of more than half of his magic.
"Who's that?" A dark shadow darted towards him, and Blake and Moody attacked him, but he dodged them.
The dark shadow approached, a man in a mask and in a Ministry of Magic uniform.
"He's going to save the snake! kill him!" Lockhart reacted.
"Flames!" a flame erupted from the wand, but apparently not as powerful as Dumbledore, and the Death Eater put a shield on himself, rushed into the fire, and pounced on the snake.
Then a man and a snake disappeared in front of them.
"It's the portkey!" Blake stomped, "we should have called Dumbledore directly, the snake must be important." ”
"The Ministry of Magic is here, let's go, the portkey is being used by Jasmine, Fireplace 1 is leaving!"
"You go first, and I'll stop them. Lockhart said.
"Well, watch out for yourself. Moody ran away with Black, Lupin and Tonks, and it was clear that he wasn't used to running fast as he had just gained new legs.
Lockhart smiled as he looked at the two men running over, his wand in his hand.
"Mr. Lockhart, what are you doing here!" one of them shouted at Lockhart, and it was clear that the two were not elite Aurors, but just ordinary security guards, and that would be easy.
"Voldemort!" Lockhart shouted as he looked behind them, and then, taking advantage of the moment when the two of them lost their minds, "faint, faint!"
Lockhart's speed was now at an extreme pace, and he sideheaded away from one of the counters and knocked out two. Then he squatted beside the two of them, washed away the memories of the two people, and quickly turned around and ran towards the hall.
Returning to the Order of the Phoenix through the fireplace at Guò No. 1, everyone was waiting for him.
"Knowing is not difficult for you. Tonks came over and hugged Lockhart happily.
"Arthur is alright. Lockhart asked.
"We reacted so quickly, as long as we didn't die on the spot, we would have been fine. Lupin reassured.
"Dumbledore told me to send the portkeys back to pick them up. Lockhart said to them apologetically, showing them the note.
"No, let's go back quickly. Lupin said nonchalantly.
Lockhart teleported back to the Headmaster's office with the portkey, where Dumbledore was talking to Harry.
"Gildero, how's it going. Dumbledore looked at Lockhart.
"It's not a Death Eater, it's a snake with intact protective magic and ran away. ”
Dumbledore nodded, "What about Arthur." ”
"It's already at St. Mungo, and it should be fine. ”
