Chapter 259: Looking for a Companion

Too frequent ultra-long-range apparitions made Lockhart a little dizzy and nauseous, but it was better to endure it than to be caught.

"After you escaped, you must not have left the place where the apparition appeared. Lockhart said, grabbing Hermione's hand.

"Isn't it safe after the apparition, the teacher of the apparition said that there is no way in the world to track the person who has apparition, unless he is caught by his body. Hermione asked, confused, "How did they find me, but I'm glad I remembered to call you by name......"

"Apparition itself is untraceable, but that means when you're using your own magic to perform a ranged apparition. But in reality, even Headmaster Dumbledore couldn't have been able to phantom even half a mile with the magic in his body aloneβ€”all ultra-long-range apparitions were carried out with the help of the energy of Floo Net. Lockhart and Hermione walked in one direction, figuring out where the apparition would appear. "With the Floo Net, the Ministry of Magic can find out where your apparition started, and if you haven't covered your name with the Confusion Charm, you'll really be found. ”

"I see, every time the phantom transformation is finished, you have to leave the place where you manifest quickly......"

"Yes, and unless it's a particularly urgent situation, it's best not to use mana and walk away, so that you don't leave a trace of mana fluctuations. Of course, it's not impossible to fly away in an emergency, there are very few professionals who can track wizards according to magic fluctuations, and the traces of magic will soon be smoothed out. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Also, when you meet other Aurors and Order of the Phoenix, remember to check their identity. Lockhart admonished her, "It's simple, say something that doesn't matter, but only your own people or even both of you know." You can't ask directly, it's best to have some skills that can instantly distinguish the other party's real from fake. ”

Lockhart decided to show her: "For example, if you see me, you can ask me. Why didn't I take off your pants when you slept with me the first time. ”

Hermione's face turned red all of a sudden: "Because there is a knot on my pants, I took it off myself." ”

"That's right, so it's easy to tell if the other person is real or fake. ”

――

Lockhart walked with Hermione for a few moments before stopping. Hermione had been clutching his arm nervously, as if Lockhart would apparition away as soon as she let go.

There weren't many people around here, but the conditions in the magic tent weren't bad, and the bad thing was that Hermione didn't eat two meals, but luckily Lockhart brought her some Jim baked bread. Barely filled his stomach.

Hermione had finished her dinner, it was already the middle of the night, and with the protection of the alarm magic, confusion charm, and protective charm that Lockhart had personally planted, it was unlikely that even Voldemort himself would have killed them in his sleep, so he didn't have himself or Hermione to keep vigil. Hermione was finally able to sleep under the covers with Lockhart, and she squeezed into Lockhart's arms, clinging to him for security.

"What are we going to do next, I guess the next agreed meeting place has been revealed. Lockhart sensed her uneasiness and reached out to hug her, "Do you have any ideas?"

"The rendezvous is exposed. Isn't there any contact between everyone?" Hermione figured out, "Either we're going to go it alone, or we're wandering around the rendezvous, maybe they'll be the same." ”

"It's so unsafe...... Lockhart asked, uneasy.

"If there is an ambush at the Ministry of Magic, it must be near the meeting place. The staff of the Ministry of Magic, including the Death Eaters, also had less than a thousand people, and they were not capable of squatting on a large scale. Hermione moved, being held in Lockhart's arms only in her pajamas, and both of them could feel each other's body temperature and heartbeat. The horror and uneasiness of almost being caught faded away, and she became feverish. "No matter how dangerous it is. It's better than just the two of us having to complete the original plan. ”

Hermione's real first time not long ago was too intense, she was so scared that she didn't dare to go to the headquarters for the night in the summer vacation after that, but she escaped death and thought about what she wanted. She remembered that feeling now, and it shouldn't hurt now......

"Well, you're right. Lockhart felt Hermione's little hands and feet in her arms, and she curled up, squeezed one leg between Lockhart's legs, and wrapped her arms around his waist, eager to squeeze herself into Lockhart's belly. Lockhart reached out and put his arm around her little buttocks. The girl's body is soft and elastic, with a good fragrance. But Moody was dead, and he really couldn't be in the mood for it now, so he twisted the tip of her hips: "Tired, go to bed early, dear." ”

"Oh......" Hermione was slightly disappointed, but obediently buried her head in his arms and narrowed her eyes.

――

And so the night passed.

"Huh?" When Lockhart woke up, he found that it was already dawn, and there was no one in his arms, and it seemed that he was used to being lazy, and he could not compare with an energetic girl. Hermione was already making breakfast with the contents of her bag...... Well, there's really nothing to do, just boil a pot of boiling water and eat it with bread.

"Really diligent, Hermione. Lockhart stepped out of the tent, "But can you eat enough of these things, you're still young, not fully developed, you need to eat something good...... I could go to the house and get some good breakfast, I'm not wanted by the Muggle world anyway. ”

"I'm not too young! I'd better try to have as little contact with people as possible. Hermione shook her head, "If you want to reach people, it's better to get some polyjuice potion first, and turn into a Muggle, we can't take any risks now." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you once. Lohart nodded, sat down and began to nibble on bread. "I didn't bring a polyjuice potion, Mad Eye always carries a lot of ...... with me," Lockhart suddenly remembered that Mad Eye was dead, and didn't continue.

"I brought a little bit of ......," Hermione whispered. "I got it from Professor Slughorn. ”

――

After breakfast, Lockhart packed up his things and discussed with Hermione, deciding that he should go to the next agreed meeting place to find others who might have escaped.

The two apparated again, and for safety, they apparitioned to a distance of more than a few miles from the agreed place, and then approached on foot.

"Hermione, take out the Polyjuice Potion. After walking for a while, the trees began to thin, and they approached the edge of the woods, approaching the town of Keith, and before they could walk out of the woods, Lockhart said to Hermione, "If you get any closer, you might run into a wizard who is watching, and we all have to drink." ”

"Just a little bit...... Five or six servings. Hermione fumbled in her beaded pouch and pulled out a small bottle. "What about the hair?"

"You wait for me here, I'll go to the town over there to get two people's hair. ”

Lockhart walked into town, found a blonde girl and a middle-aged man, used a confusion charm to get their hair, and returned to where Hermione was waiting for him.

"I found someone about your age to get her hair. Lockhart put his hair into the small cup in Hermione's hand, "Remember not to look around, look like a local Muggle." ”

"Hmm. ”

The two drank the polyjuice decoction and walked into the town holding hands, agreeing that the next meeting point would be in a two-story house behind the town church in Keith, but as soon as he entered the town, he noticed that something was wrong. After the magic affinity was improved, the sensitivity to magic fluctuations was also greatly improved, and Hermione didn't notice anything abnormal, and Lockhart had already noticed that there were several wizards standing on the side of the road in the town.

"Don't look at anything, go in. Lockhart quietly grabbed Hermione by the shoulder and pushed her into a store on the side of the road. "Pretending to buy something, there are a lot of wizards out there. ”

The two entered the storefront and pretended to pick something at the shelves.

"There are a lot of wizards out there?" Hermione looked nervous, "I didn't find anything." ”
