At this moment, the battle at Hogwarts has entered the second phase - the shield is about to be breached, the elves have been driven back to the underground kitchen, and the sculptures, centaurs and wizards are ready for close combat.

A hundred miles away in London, all the Aurors and agents were already in place, and the first two groups had begun to enter the examination room in the connecting hall through a toilet fireplace and a telephone booth, respectively, and there was a slight change in plans. Because Lockhart found that the inspection room was newly opened and did not have defensive magic, the first two groups of Aurors could have started fighting in the inspection room first, and the last group would break through the wall and attack the interior of the Ministry of Magic when all the guards in the hall were attracted by the battle.

The Aurors of the first two groups and the wizarding agents of MI5 entered the examination room one after another, because they entered the Ministry of Magic to check their wands, so they all held their wands in their hands without attracting special attention from the Death Eaters.

But when the magic-incapable Squib agent appeared in the examination room with a large-caliber assault rifle, the Death Eaters guarding the door immediately became nervous, but before they could ask, Scrimgeour gave an order, and the surprise attack began!

Several of the Death Eaters standing at the door were immediately killed, and the defense system of the Ministry of Magic hall was immediately activated, but Scrimgeour and they stood in the inspection room and did not enter the door of the hall, no matter how powerful the defense system was, they could only close the passage first, and then send an alarm to all the Ministry of Magic employees, and all the combat members of the Ministry of Magic who did not have a specific position began to concentrate on the hall, preparing to eliminate this group of invaders.

At this point, there was still a minute before nine o'clock, and Lockhart and Snape finally flew to the area where they could apparition, and decisively began to apparition.

――

Lockhart did not go to a specific location, as Snape had requested, but instead vanquished into the outskirts of Tonga, far from Hogwarts and London. As soon as he landed, Snape decisively broke free of Lockhart's grasp. Raise your wand and aim it at your left arm.

A sharp blade disappeared, and his forearm detached from his body in response.

Without any hesitation, the man who had done this motioned for Lockhart to grab his intact right arm and continue to apparition.

Lockhart was startled by Snape's swift and ferocious movements, but it instantly understood: at this time, there was still nearly a minute before the nuclear bomb exploded, and Voldemort could track them down with the Dark Mark mark!

Really. As soon as the casting step of the apparition was completed, Voldemort's figure appeared more than ten meters away, and the phantom manifestation was almost over, so he fired a death curse at Lockhart and Snape as fast as he could, but the two had already disappeared into thin air......

Watching the enemy escape from under his nose again, the Dark Lord was furious and blew up the vast field, but luckily there was no one nearby, otherwise a massacre was inevitable.

As soon as his anger subsided slightly, Voldemort immediately became nervous: he had just received a notification of an invasion of the Ministry of Magic. It stands to reason that he should have immediately apparitioned to London to help. But the intruder was still in the examination room, and there was another matter that needed to be done immediately - he only had one Horcrux left, and he was going to go back and get his hands on it and keep it with him forever!

It was 8:59:50 a.m., and Voldemort performed the last telephantasm in his life with the help of Floo Net.

――

At the same time, the Ministry of Magic was in disarray, with ordinary staff members nervously hiding in their offices, and Death Eaters and unsightly employees trying to rely on defensive magic to fight back if the defense system was activated properly. Can easily kill any invading Auror or agent. The idea was good, but they didn't have the opportunity.

Nine o'clock sharp. In a slight tremor, all the magic runes on the walls of the Ministry of Magic went out in an instant, the elevator stopped running, and even the lighting equipment stopped glowing, and the two groups of Aurors waiting in the examination room immediately broke the door to the hall.

A second later. The protective enchantment on the walls of the Ministry of Magic and the anti-deflagration magic that envelops a large area fails. A third group of Aurors and agents blasted the exterior walls of the Ministry of Magic through directional blasting, entering directly through the unsuspecting basement!

Amid the chaotic shouts of "Activate backup power!" and "Illumination!", the battle of the Ministry of Magic officially began.

Needless to say, the Aurors were combative, and the power of Muggle guns far exceeded the Death Eaters' expectations. In addition to the stronger wizards, the iron armor spell of ordinary wizards could not block the impact of several large-caliber rifle bullets, and although the wizards guarding the Ministry of Magic had the advantage of numbers and location, the enemy began to attack at the same time inside and outside. Not only did a group of Aurors enter through a basement level that no one could have imagined, but even the Ministry of Magic staff had resistance wizards like Mr. Weasley and his son Percy.

The Death Eaters were unable to resist and retreated, blood and corpses instantly making the marble floor of the Ministry of Magic no longer monotonous.

――

The two heroic wizards, who had just successfully completed the two arduous tasks of killing Nagini and containing the Dark Lord for an hour, landed in a wilderness more than ten miles away from Hogwarts for the second apparition. As soon as he landed on the ground, Lockhart quickly used the Elder's wand to stop the bleeding in Snape's bleeding left arm.

"Will you use that magic stone to restore your arm now, or wait until we find the uncursed unicorn blood?"

"I don't want to be a vampire. Snape didn't look at all like a wounded man who had just cut off one of his arms, and he said coldly, "You should go to the castle right now to help, and I'll come later." ”

"Good. Lockhart nodded, and after saying this, he felt that the Floo net at the foothold suddenly failed, and of course, Snape also reacted immediately.

"Your bomb worked. Snape squeezed out a cold smile, "Congratulations, but hurry up and help, Mrs. Lockhart, who is frowning, is still in the Death Eaters' circle." ”

"Although there were some surprises, everything was within the margin of the plan. Lockhart's heart was so happy that he almost wanted to laugh, but he immediately held back, worried about Hermione. "Alright, I'll go to the castle at once. ”

He soared into the air, flying at a constant speed while beginning to absorb the magic in the air to recover himself, but he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and as the magic power recovered, he suddenly felt an urge to suck blood.

No, how can you get up now, how can you get up now?

Combined with the symptoms of blood thirst that he encountered before Ginny's sudden attack, after thinking about it for a while, Lockhart figured out that the urge to suck blood did not come from how long he had not sucked blood, but from the process of recovering his magic, he met Ginny three days ago and suddenly went crazy and bitten people, because it took some magic to install a time bomb in the Ministry of Magic that day, and he was full of magic before going to bed, and then he was stimulated by the fragrance of Ginny's body, and he instantly lost his mind.

He barely fought that day, but activated a teleportation spell, consumed some mana in the energy supply room, and when he came out, he blocked the attack of the defense system, and only used less than a tenth of his mana before and after, and he almost lost his mind when he was full...... So today, he fought with Voldemort for nearly twenty minutes, and his magic power was exhausted to the bottom, if he returned to full, how much sanity would he have left?

He was so frightened that he didn't dare to absorb the magic in the air anymore. The Polyjuice Potion had also passed its time to take effect, and Lockhart began to regain his original appearance, Harry's clothes were obviously a little small, and he changed into his wizarding robes in the air.
