Lockhart, of course, didn't know, and he looked at Cyris.

"I've been dealing with them in Azkaban for more than ten years, and I don't see the difference between male and female......" Cyreth said depressedly, "Can you not talk about this when you eat, it's disgusting to think about." ”

"Maybe they're like mushrooms, they can scatter spores, and little Dementors pop up when they land?" Albert speculated.

", if that were the case, the world would have been taken over by the Dementors. ”

"Maybe it's split, someone has studied it, but I can't find the book he wrote. It is said that when an old Dementor sucks enough souls, it has enough energy to split into a small piece from its body and grow into a small Dementor......" Lockhart said, "but it could also be a rumor. ”

"Maybe a Dementor was buried in the ground," Harry said in an exaggerated tone. "In the fall, you'll get a lot of little Dementors......"

"Poof-" Hermione almost squirted the food out of her mouth, and sat there trembling with a smile on her lips.

"Interesting idea, Harry, but don't joke at this point, it wouldn't be nice for Hermione to be happy to lure the Dementors over. Lockhart couldn't keep his face down, but he couldn't help but laugh and criticize him. "If you're right, should we go back and burn the bodies of the three Dementors?"

――

Jokes aside, of course, the Dementors didn't fall from the sky, there were not many left, and after losing a few, many of them didn't dare to patrol anymore, and finally the Death Eaters promised to go with them before they started looking for Lockhart again.

With no new ideas, they still walked through this forest. To be on the safe side, they continued to the deepest part of the primeval forest, hurried during the day, camped at night, erased all traces in the morning, and set out to find the next secluded place.

――

Three days after the first encounter with the Dementors. They encountered two other Dementors. Lockhart killed one of them with quick speed, but the other flew high and wide.

"Damn, we can't let it hang behind us all the time. Blake said with a hint of fear. "Gildero, you ride a broomstick and kill it. ”

"It's useless, it flies faster than me, I chase it and run. "I can't help it." ”

"They all use the Illusion Charm, try to make it unable to see us clearly. Hermione said. "Push it down. ”

After everyone did this, the Dementors had to drop to a higher altitude to see where they were. However, he still followed more than a hundred meters away, and at the same time called his companions to support him in a way unique to Dementors.

"It's still a little farther away. Lockhart said, "Harry, give me the cloak of invisibility, you go ahead and I'll kill it!"

"Good. ”

"Be careful. Cyris said.

Lockhart put on his cloak of invisibility, completely oblivious to his existence, and crouched under a tree. Slow down your breathing and get rid of all distractions...... This kind of training was not required by the Auror Department back then. Lockhart hadn't reviewed it for more than a decade, and it hadn't been very successful, but fortunately, the fear of the four of Harry, especially Cyrus, was so obvious that the Dementors didn't even notice that one person was missing. Closely behind them.

Twenty meters, ten meters, five meters......

The Dementor floated above Lockhart, who had lost his mood swings, and just as he sensed that something was wrong, Lockhart had already lifted his cloak of invisibility in an instant, and a piercing spell knocked it down. Before it could react, he killed it.

――

"That's it, piece of cake. Lockhart quickly caught up with them. "But soon there will be Dementors, maybe wizards, so let's get out of here. ”

"It's too ruthless, but it's really a clever move, cutting off the Floo network, giving up the numerical advantage, but we can't phantom change at will like before......" Albert said, "But when the Ministry of Magic was still in your hands, why didn't you use this method to find the mysterious man and capture him?"

"Because we can't do nothing like him......," Lockhart explained helplessly, "just as the Muggle world might close the country's traffic to catch a murderer, the loss would be far greater than the gain from the capture of the prisoner, and there would be an outcry from the pure-blood families...... Only a mysterious person does this kind of thing, so no one dares to object. I don't know how the staff of the Ministry of Magic work now...... Do you live all in London. ”

"If this doesn't work, I'll sacrifice myself - I'll run in the other direction, get their attention, and if I'm caught, admit that I killed those Dementors, how about it?"

"No, we're not going to leave anyone behind!" said Harry.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not like you, I'm an American, and no one knows I'm a Order of the Phoenix - unless I fall into the hands of a mystery man or the most murderous Death Eater, I can disguise myself as a visiting American wizard...... At most, they will be locked up or driven back to their home countries. ”

"This ......" Cyres looked at Lockhart inquiringly, a little moved.

"No, it's better to run away than let him risk it alone!" Hermione said this, but her tone was not very firm, "What if they give Albert a real potion!"

Lockhart didn't care about Hermione and Harry's words, it wasn't a hassle to deal with the Truth Spitter, and as a master of memory magic, he had that confidence. At the same time, as a mature adult wizard trained by the Aurors, his way of thinking is different from that of ordinary people, especially these little Gryffindors who flaunt their courage - he has to consider whether the benefits outweigh the risks or at least equal......

"Albert, do you have Occlumency. ”

"Not really, Uncle Gadwin said he wanted to teach me, but I didn't have the time, I know how ...... work," he said frankly.

"In that case, do as you say, but before I do that, I'm going to revise your memory. "You're going to be searched for memories and even stuffed with real potions when you're caught, so I'll have to change your memories to the point where you believe them in order to get away with it—you know what I mean?"

"Understood. ”

"I'm going to make you think you're a tourist, and unlike your plan, you can't carry the cauldron of killing the Dementors, otherwise you're really in danger. "I'd make you think you've met a few Aurors in the forest, and then a few Aurors headed north after the breakup. ”

"Sounds good, but wouldn't the other party doubt the memories?"

"I see!" Hermione's eyes lit up, "the key to this plan is not to falsify the memory that you didn't see us at all, and as soon as you see them, you will honestly confess our whereabouts - the wrong whereabouts, of course." Although they may suspect you of lying, the comparison between the Regent and the Truth Elixir proves that few people will doubt you, but will hurriedly organize people to surround and intercept us. ”

"That's right, and the wizards in this world who can see through my forged memories at a glance don't dare to say that they don't exist, but they definitely won't be like cabbage all over the streets, at least not with the search party to check your memories of an American. "I'll add a lock to your memory, and in about a month you'll unlock your true memory, and you're going to hide the Order of the Phoenix's note, and if you're okay in a month, you'll be in London to give us some news." ”

If it is exposed, you will only have to be sacrificed. Lockhart said in his heart.

"Good idea, so be it!" Albert agreed.

――

Lockhart drew his wand: "Please be sure not to resist at all, otherwise the modified memory will be distorted and flawed." ”

"Okay. ”

"Oh, no, you'll have to set up the tent first, and you'll collect it yourself when you're done revising it, as for why—" Lockhart said. "We can't let Albert see it, or the image of the four of us won't match the four Aurors he remembers. ”

They set up a one-man tent for Albert that he had brought with them, and then modified his memories in the tent, and when they were done, gave him a slight stun spell.

"Alright, that's it. Lockhart wiped his face, and Hermione quickly wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. Creating memories that don't exist at all is not the same as modifying memories or erasing or transplanting them, and it's a bit laborious. "We will go south at once, and Albert will wake up thinking that he has met the four Aurors here, and then 'they' will go north, and he himself will leave the forest west and go to the nearest place where there are people. ”

"Don't look at it, he'll be fine. Cyris patted Harry and Hermione, "We rushed to run far in the opposite direction, which was the greatest reward for his efforts." ”

"Let's go. ”
