Chapter 383: The Battle Ends

The Slytherin lounge was at the bottom of the lake, and it was dark along the hallway, and the walls and floors became cold and damp. Lockhart doesn't like gloomy places, so he hasn't been here.

He once asked Pandora what their lounge looked like during a casual conversation, and the answer was funny, he could see fish swimming outside the transparent walls. She also angrily told Lockhart that since she went to China with him to visit the aquarium, she couldn't help but feel like breaking the translucent part of the wall of her lounge when she came back. The little girl's obsessive-compulsive disorder is a bit severe...... Thankfully, the walls weren't glass, and they were protected by magic.

Lockhart quickly reached the edge of an open stone wall, walked to the door and looked inside, some parts of the wall were really translucent, the rest of the wall was made of black marble, the ceiling was a transparent semicircle carved in crystal, and you could see the sparkling waves caused by the morning sun shining into the water. There is a greenish lamp chained to the top, and there is a fireplace with an intricately carved mantelpiece, and next to it are carved chairs and large sumptuous sofas.

Well, it's big, and it's fresh, but what about the Death Eaters?

"Did anyone come here just now?" Lockhart asked the Slytherin students who were sitting or standing in fear.

"A dozen uncles and aunts just came...... Took a couple of classmates away—" replied a girl with a pale complexion and some freckles on her face. "Professor Lockhart—what the hell is going on?"

"Took away, how many people are there at the door!" Lockhart suddenly became nervous, miscalculated, he didn't expect the Death Eaters to send in and save their children first!

"It was as if there was a fight at the door, and they were all taken away. ”

"Damn!" Lockhart couldn't have predicted, he had deliberately made Hermione a hostage keeper with an easy job, and something could happen.

He rushed out of the Slytherin common room like crazy. Run to the ground.

——

The defeat was like a mountain, the Death Eaters and beaters had all been able to run, and those who could not were either dead or wounded, and the Order of the Phoenix and the horses captured many prisoners.

Lockhart walked past the crowd that filled the lobby sitting, standing, or lying, and his eyes swept over everyone in view, expecting to see where Hermione was sitting unscathed waiting for him. Some of the students and even professors immediately raised their wands nervously when they saw him. Obviously, there are still a considerable number of teachers and students who still do not understand the difference between the real and the fake Lockhart.

Of course, most people still saw this Lockhart kill the "Lockhart" who led the Death Eaters in the siege, and he didn't wait for the spell that accidentally shot at him as expected.

"Who saw Hermione?" he anxiously asked everyone who passed by, but received a negative answer, and he raised his wand, "Find Hermione, show me the way!"

With Hermione on the map, Lockhart tried to find her with her Seeker Magic, but now Hogwarts' defensive magic was completely shattered, and the magic was in chaos. The monitoring magic under the administrator's authority was completely ineffective, and the Elder's wand failed to point him to Hermione's whereabouts.

"Ron, do you see Hermione?"

"Professor!" Before Ron could speak, Ginny suddenly jumped out from behind him, grabbed Lockhart's waist, and looked up at him, longing for a tender love word or a kiss or something, causing her brothers to stare blankly.

"Did you see Hermione?" Lockhart asked, pushing her away. He didn't want to deal with this girl at all, and subconsciously even began to think about what if Voldemort grabbed Hermione and forced him to surrender. He didn't care much about anyone but his parents and loved him, but Hermione was the girl he respected and loved, and his greatest treasure......

"No, she's definitely fine. Ginny pouted and was very unhappy, but she didn't make a fuss, grabbing the corner of his robe and obediently following him behind his ass. She also glared back at Ron, who called her name.

Lying on the ground were casualties from both sides of the battle: some of the dead had been covered with white cloths, some were screaming in pain, some were smildly, and some were gritting their teeth and silently watching others heal their wounds - each wounded striker was stared at by several students.

Most of them suffered only minor injuries, and the Gryffindor students gathered together. Zhang Qiu stayed with the Ravenclaw siblings, and Lockhart saw Luna and his father, among other faces...... A sizable number of wizards rushed to Hogwarts with apparitions during the time they arrived at Hogwarts after the Order of the Phoenix captured Hogwarts and cut off the surrounding Floo network at the Ministry of Magic, and joined the Guardian War, holding out to the end.

——

It was already half past nine in the morning, the sun was coming out of the thick clouds, the warm beams of light were shining obliquely into the castle through the windows, and the hall was filled with the radiance of life. Emotions of mourning and celebration, sorrow and joy were vented to the fullest, and all the students who figured out the situation looked at Lockhart with adoration and admiration.

Everywhere he went, people smiled at him, but Lockhart was now distraught: worse seemed to have happened, and he saw Hermione, Albert, Professor McGonagall, and the others lying quietly side by side, Harry and Aberforth, Syris, and Lupin, and others standing to the side, watching Madame Pommy examine her comrades lying on the ground.

"Hermione!" Lockhart's eyes darkened, and he could barely stand, and he shook off Ginny's hand tugging at the corner of his coat, rushed over and threw himself on the ground, holding Hermione tightly in his arms, tears welling up in his eyes. "Wake up, you're going to give me a baby, he's going to—"

"Get out of the way, she's not dead!" Madame Pomri angrily chased him away. "Don't make a mess!"

"Uh-" Lockhart realized that Hermione's body was still limp, and she also had a body temperature and a heartbeat. "How is she, ma'am?"

"Cursed. "A group of Death Eaters stormed the school and took their children from the Slytherin commoner, and they all knocked down the Slytherin commoner, but none of them died. ”

Returning from hell to heaven in a second, Lockhart was suddenly a little dizzy by this huge drop, his whole body fluttered lightly, and all the sounds, lights and shadows around him suddenly became vivid and vivid, and even the body fragrance of the little witches suddenly penetrated into his nostrils.

Carefully letting Hermione lie back on the blanket that was spread beneath her, Lockhart stood up and looked at her lovingly.

Looking at Hermione's delicate eyebrows and serene expression, Lockhart couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart: today he killed God indiscriminately, God blocked and killed Buddha, and killed more than a dozen Death Eaters. As a result, his wife fell into the hands of others, but she was fine. The Death Eaters who were killed also had wives or husbands......

"I said she's fine. Ginny rubbed up expectantly again, "Professor~ You promised me that when the matter is over, I can do whatever I want, you go and tell your mother that you want to marry me now!"

"It's not over yet. Lockhart patted her little head, and the great joy carried him away, and he stretched out his arm around her elastic little waist and said to her affectionately. "Okay, okay?"

"Well, well-"

"What are you doing, Gildero!" said Mrs. Weasley, who walked in through the doorway with a disgraced face, and saw Lockhart hugging Ginny's waist. She ran like an angry lion and pulled Ginny behind her back. "Hermione is still lying on the ground, and you're hooking up with my baby girl again?"

"No, Jasmine, listen to me......" Lockhart panicked, as if he had already guessed the other man's next answer.

"Don't explain, you scum!" Sure enough—Mrs. Weasley's face was almost redder than Ginny's hair, "Phew!"

"I'm going to marry Professor Lockhart, leave me alone!" Ginny yelled at her mother, trying to wrench her thick arms, but Mrs. Weasley's two hands that had done countless chores clamped her like pliers.

——

Lupin, Cyris and others showed depressed expressions, the movement here was too big, the lines were too strong, the surrounding teachers and students all looked here, Lockhart was shocked, and his heart was not good: This farce seems to be going to get bigger!

"It's okay to go home and make a lot of noise about your, Minerva is going to do it!" said Madame Pommy angrily.

"What, Professor McGonagall, how is she?" Mrs. Weasley turned off the fire at once, nervously walked over to McGonagall, crouched down to look, and Ginny slipped back to Lockhart at once.

"How is she?" Tonks asked uneasily.

"I've been hit by several curses, and none of them are fatal, but she's too old to be like a young man......" Pang Qian looked at Albert on the side - the young man actually seemed to be about to wake up.

"Now theoretically, only the Philosopher's Stone can save her. "But I've never seen it in real life, and a few years ago I heard that Nicol Lemay himself destroyed the last one and died......"

——

Of course, there are Philosopher's Stones, and there are a few broken ones in my pocket, but they contain curses, and I wonder if McGonagall can eat them...... But the problem is that the Philosopher's Stone has to be activated by the user's own magic power.

"Find a way to save her......" Harry said anxiously.

There was a sudden commotion at the door, and several people turned their heads to see that it was Snape, who was already missing half an arm, and walked in slowly.

The headmaster's aftermath was still there, and most of the students looked at Snape in confusion, while the members of the Order of the Phoenix quickly drew their wands and pointed them at him.

"Put down your wand, Severus is one of his own!" Lockhart saw hope, "Sever, come and see Professor McGonagall, there's a way to save her!"
