"Alright, my current location is under the constant surveillance of the Dark Lord. Snape said nervously, "Let's start heading south now, and try to catch up with him after flying to Libst, the southernmost part of the Phantom Shifting Exclusion Zone, so that we can drag on for a few more minutes." ”

The two of them began to fly east-south on broomsticks, one after the other, and at the same time, Voldemort, who was far away outside Hogwarts Castle, also took off into the air and flew in the direction of the apparition. Barty Jr. tried to convince him to wait until Hogwarts was breached a minute ago, but failed, Voldemort thought that it was only a matter of time before so many people attacked Hogwarts and would win, but he couldn't stand the savior Potter escaping again.

A few minutes later, Voldemort flew out of the disapparition-free area surrounding Hogwarts and quickly escaped into the void, only to appear in a field near Thurso a few seconds later. At this time, he could already feel that Snape was moving at high speed more than a dozen miles to the southeast, and he should be chasing the target, and he did not hesitate to take off into the air and quickly chase in that direction.

"He's coming, quicken up!" Snape shouted nervously at Lockhart in front of him.

Voldemort was the fastest at breaking the speed of sound, but it wasn't necessary or possible to sprint so desperately all the time. But it was easy to reach speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour - even at such a speed, it would only take him a few minutes to catch up with Lockhart and Snape.

After discovering that Voldemort had arrived at the planned location as promised, the two strongest men of the Order of the Phoenix also summoned their magic and began to accelerate in the air at a height of several hundred meters, piercing the air like arrows. While taking care to ensure that the speed does not exceed the limit of a normal person riding a broomstick so as not to attract suspicion, they also try to reach Libster before Voldemort catches up with them.

If there were a good-eyed Muggle on the ground below the two of them at this time, they could even be seen flying on broomsticks.

――

At eight o'clock sharp, the Death Eaters' concept of time was not bad, and the battle at Hogwarts began on time.

Counterfeit Lockhart gave the order, and countless spells flew towards Hogwarts' defensive magic, but this shield was supported by a large number of Hogwarts students and professors plus the magic of elves. It is difficult to destroy in a short time.

In this regard, the besieging side was not in a hurry, after all, they had no idea that London, the southernmost part of Britain, and Libst, the northernmost part of Britain, would break out in an extremely fierce manner half an hour and an hour later, respectively, and would affect the future battles of the entire British wizarding world.

Not only did they know nothing, but they were also trapped and doomed to be unable to intervene in any of them.

――

Voldemort, Lockhart and Snape chased after me, and after flying for more than ten minutes, the pursued party could already see the coastline in the distance - Libst had arrived, but it was only 8:20 at this time, and Voldemort ...... They were only a few kilometers away.

Next. They had to do something else to drag on for forty minutes.

"That's it!" Lockhart shouted, and they landed on a beach far from the Muggle village.

The scenery here is good, the sky is blue, the water is also blue, the place where the water and the sky meet is recombined into a line, and it is the time of low tide, and the sea retreats a large distance, revealing a large mudflat.

The farthest Muggle homes were miles away. It's a great place to fight.

Lockhart pulled out the Elder's wand and the demon-breaking dagger, one in each hand, and looked at his companion.

Snape put away his broomstick, and drew two wands as well—one of his own weapons. The other had to lie to Voldemort about disarming Potter in order to paralyze him.

After a vine entangled, Lockhart was trapped and fell to the ground "solidly" - the spell was magically modified, and although it appeared to be subdued, it was not played if Voldemort did not play his cards as planned. He could also break free from this large lump of flowery vines in an instant.

With everything ready, Snape stood beside the captured "Savior Potter" and waited for Voldemort to arrive.

――

As the strongest Dark Wizard and Dark Lord. Voldemort was so fast that he appeared in view a minute later, and after only a dozen seconds, he descended with a black mist and murderous aura, stepping barefoot on the damp mudflats.

"The hosts. Snape clearly held the two wands, but as if he was too frightened to come out, he bowed to Voldemort with his hands solemn and respectful, "I caught Potter for you, and you said that he must be killed by you yourself." ”

"Very well—" Voldemort grinned, stepping closer to Lockhart, looking at him suspiciously. "Severus, you've always been my favorite subordinate, and you know why. He asked himself. "Because you can always surprise me, whether it's killing that old man Dumbledore...... Or caught this kid for me. ”

Harry, transformed into Lockhart, stared closely at Voldemort's every move - he didn't dare to speak, because he couldn't perfectly imitate Harry's voice, and could only suppress his breath to a level close to his. If Voldemort raises his wand in an attacking stance, Lockhart will instantly burst into battle with him.

Did Voldemort bring Nagini, how did he hide Nagini in his sleeve last time, is there a folding space in the sleeve? But it is very dangerous to hide a creature in a space folding bag, maybe it is the magic on the snake that makes it not afraid of this danger?

"For the sake of the master, I am willing to do everything I can. Snape bowed his head, sparing words like gold, trying to avoid being exposed.

"Actually, I think, the one I used to ...... Mr. Savior's order that I must kill him was a foolish decision. Voldemort said, looking smug. "If it hadn't been for that decision, you would have killed him a long time ago, Severus. That might not be so much trouble......"

"The prophecy says that you must kill it, master. "If I had done it on my behalf, things might not have gone so well." ”

Voldemort nodded, not continuing the conversation.

"Potter, does it make sense for you to stare at me like that? I'm sorry for killing your parents. Voldemort's scarlet eyes met Lockhart's unceremoniously, "After all—I just wanted to kill you." ”

Voldemort raised his hands and habitually pinched his wand in his left hand, letting it twitch slowly between his slender fingers. The move made both Lockhart and Snape nervous.

"Master, what are you going to do with Potter? Snape spoke.

"How, of course, kill it, I don't like to leave it behind......," Voldemort laughed arrogantly, "but I want to enjoy this kind of victory for a while now, after all, the prophesied opponent is really a rare thing, kill one less one...... I'm curious, Potter. Every time I try to kill you, someone jumps out and rescues you...... It's either Dumbledore's old man, or a few old Aurors or rookies like Gilderoy Lockhart...... Even a fragment of my own soul saved you once. ”

Voldemort looked around, the weather was clear, the wind was beautiful, the sea was sparkling in the distance, and there were seabirds circling and hunting.

"Who will save you this time?" he looked back at Lockhart. "The Floo network here has been cut off, and any wizard who appears within a mile radius will be immediately spotted by me, and there are really only three of us here at the moment - maybe you can save yourself, but your wand is also in Severus' hand......" Voldemort suddenly frowned, looking at Snape. "Or will Severus save you?"

"Master—" Snape was nervous, but his face didn't change.

"Hahaha, forget it, I'd better get you on my way, Potter. Voldemort was amused by his whimsy, but raised his wand. "Give you the last three seconds to say your last words, and I'll have Severus engraved on your tombstone. ”

"Master, Potter has been looking for your Horcruxes all this year...... Snape hurriedly sent the lines that had been prepared long ago, "Maybe let him die at Nagini's mouth, and let the Horcruxes he most want to destroy kill him...... I'll engrave on his tombstone: 'Killed by the pet of the enemy in his prophecy,' which is so ironic......"

"How do you know Nagini is my Horcrux?" Voldemort asked dissatisfied, though he didn't think it was a secret, but it was unusual for his men to know so much about Horcruxes.

"Uh......" Snape quickly came up with an excuse, "I was told by Potter just now, and he said that if you find and destroy a gold cup, and then kill your pet, you will no longer be immortal." ”

"Tsk, worthy of the prophesied enemy, I actually know that I only have these two Horcruxes left. When the matter of his life was spoken, Voldemort became murderous to both of them, including Snape, "Good idea, Severus, let Nagini kill our savior." ”

And then they will come and kill you.

Voldemort thought viciously, raising his arm and letting Nagini go. The serpent emerged from his sleeve and hung in the air above his head, writhing gracefully in the magical protective space that the strongest dark wizard had set up for it himself, a star-sparkling transparent sphere that resembled both a glittering cage and a water tank.
