Chapter 435: The Frontline
Once back in the room, Lockhart again contacted several of the other wizards living in London with a note, in case they slept too hard at night to be there to help, and then went to bed early......
"Intuition", this thing is never accurate, but the psychological pressure it causes to people when it appears is real. After Hermione fell asleep, Lockhart was so tormented by this premonition that he couldn't sleep, so he simply gave his wife an earplug to listen to the spell, got up and dressed, and sat quietly in front of the window, watching the night outside and waiting for news.
――
He should go to Snowton Mountain immediately, and if he was alone, Lockhart would have walked out of the door and phantomed to the front. But if there is no definite news, he is not qualified or willing to ask a bunch of wizards who are willing to help to stay up all night with him to search the mountains, so he can only wait here.
After sitting in the dark for an unknown amount of time, the note suddenly began to heat and vibrate, and a shocking news came from Martin: a team of strikers on night duty was missing, and there was no distress signal!
Got it!
Five strikers, if they hadn't encountered a powerful wizard, it would have been impossible for them to not even send a distress signal with the Dementors alone.
Lockhart immediately sent a note to all the helpers who needed to go to war, and the ...... he lived under the same roof, next door, and elsewhere in London Then he got up from his chair and walked over to the bed to look at Hermione, who was sleeping soundly. She even slept with that little golden orb, and if things didn't go well, this Horcrux was his last chance.
Then he cautiously opened the door and walked out.
――
A red mass crashed into his arms from outside the door, and Lockhart hurriedly held on, it was Ginny in pajamas, who seemed to be sticking to the door before, and the door opened. And she fell in.
"What are you doing here?" Lockhart glared at her.
"I'm going to the bathroom—"
"The toilet is over there, so you don't have to go through my door!"
"Well, I'm here to eavesdrop on you and Hermione. "Ginny looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
"Crazy girl, go back to your room!"
"Where are you going so late, if you go to find a woman. I'll just do it......"
"I'm going to find the Dark Lord!" Lockhart angrily grabbed her and walked to her room, originally wanting to go quietly, but she found out: "Stay well, don't wake Hermione, you can't help this fight!"
"I'm so much better than Hermione—" Ginny was a little reluctant, but was grabbed by Lockhart's arm and reluctant to break free.
Dean also received the news at this moment, and had already dressed and walked out of his room, and his eyes lit up when he saw Ginny: "Mr. Lockhart." Your exclusive prey is beautiful...... Can I suck her blood before the war?"
"What," Lockhart felt Ginny's arm trembling as he was clutched in his hand, "this is the daughter of a member of the Order of the Phoenix, not some 'exclusive prey' of mine!"
Dean slapped her nose a few times, and Ginny's body fragrance came into her nose: "Oh, I'm sorry, but you better hurry up and take her away, I won't be able to resist the temptation to bite her." ”
"How are you. Do you want to find a place to suck some blood before the battle?" Lockhart asked uneasily, "Don't start fighting before you lose control." ”
"I brought blood, although the blood of non-living wizards didn't work as well. But I can still top it. ”
Lohart nodded, and dragged Ginny into the room.
"Don't run around here, you have a note to contact me, if it doesn't work later, go wake up Hermione and find a place to hide. "To prevent Ginny from running around. Lockhart simply gave her a task: "If it goes well, I'll be back by morning." ”
"Isn't it—"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm leaving. Lockhart glared at her, and turned to the door.
"Well, then I must come back safely. I've got a bunch of plans that don't work for you. ”
"Hmm-"
――
Bloodny apparently drank the blood he had brought with him and looked better, while Snape looked slightly excited...... Only Aberforth didn't care.
The four of them left 12 Grimaud Street and stood at the next door in the darkness of the night.
Grindelwald didn't sleep as he had said before, but was already dressed and waiting in the couch in the lobby at 11 Glimemore Street, and the moment he saw Aberforth, "DeWadi Terrege" also froze slightly, and then returned to normal, and the five of them walked to the road in front of the door, and began to apparition together.
――
Lamberis, Provisional Command of the Executive Department of the Ministry of Magic. All the resting Strikers and Aurors were woken up and began to gather outside the magic tent at Scrimgeour's arrangement.
They were going to capture two Dark Lords plus dozens of Death Eaters, and it would be foolish to make any rash move until the strongest White Wizard arrived.
Lockhart's apparition appeared here, and he walked into the tent in awe from all the Aurors, beaters, and even wizards who had come for the bounty.
"It came quickly, only a few minutes. Scrimgeour complimented him with satisfaction.
"How's it going?"
"Ten miles to the southeast is the search area of the five strikers, who had lost contact with each other ten minutes ago," Martin began to recount, "We have withdrawn all the search teams, but for some reason, the vigilance magic placed in that area has not been touched—"
Scrimgeour looked up from the map, stared at Lockhart and said, "The vigilance magic was not touched, which means that the mystery man, or whoever, just killed the five strikers who found him and didn't use the magic to escape." ”
Loha nodded his head to show that he understood.
This shows that he thinks he doesn't need to run away now, or maybe he doesn't want to run anymore, and decides to fight me to the death. ”
"Isn't that what you want? Grindelwald chuckled.
Scrimgeour showed a curious gaze, and he wouldn't have thought that the smiling old man standing in front of him was the German Dark Lord, one of the original targets of this operation...... But he could sense that this was a powerful wizard.
"Who is this?"
"DeWadi Treig, a good wizard, has his lover killed by a mysterious man. Lockhart explained to him that every word was true, except that the name had to be pronounced backwards.
"I'm sorry about your lover. Scrimgeour said to Grindelwald.
Grindelwald also felt a little ridiculous at the moment, he could one day fight alongside the British Aurors...... couldn't help but show a smile that seemed to be a smile: "It's all over, tonight, let's kill the mysterious man together." ”
The White Devil King, the strongest white wizard in the United Kingdom, felt that his blood was about to boil at this moment, and his whole body was trembling slightly: "That's right...... He doesn't run, that's what I want - he's going to die tonight. ”
The sound of apparitions appearing could be heard outside the tent, and over the next few minutes, several other wizards on the list arrived one after another.
"Then Martin, get your team in order, take everyone with you, and let's go. ”
