Chapter 230: Hunt for Werewolves
The Auror Department was extremely efficient, and the next day, the newly received Aurors secretly left the Ministry of Magic and went straight to Worcester. Greyback is a powerful werewolf and wizard, and the Aurors are divided into groups of two or three to ensure safety. Lockhart was "recognized as strong", so he only gave him a young Auror to fight...... Coincidentally, his partner happened to be Louise Mountbatten, who Tonks often identified as a scheming.
Louise has shiny and transparent blue-green eyes, slightly curly blond brown hair and slender and upright facial features, and is generally quite beautiful.
To be honest, male and female Aurors complete tasks together, often hiding in Muggles as a traveling couple, and staying in a hotel is to open a room. Performing dangerous missions together, it is easy to cultivate feelings other than comradeship, coupled with the special values cultivated by special professions, and enjoy hardship...... It's so normal to fight friendship cannons or something.
But this girl is really different from other Aurors, her three views have not been distorted by the two-year Auror training and her subsequent career, she still insists on a somewhat inexplicable chivalry, and she does not do things with the unscrupulous ruthlessness of normal Aurors, and her behavior is even higher than that of normal people......

"You're my wife now, well, talk. Lockhart lay helplessly on the sofa in her room, no matter how much he talked and coaxed, she insisted on sleeping separately, and she couldn't take advantage of her at all.
"What do you want to hear?βthank you to the Ministry of Magic, to the Daily Prophet, for giving me the opportunity to play the wife of Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart!" Louise's eyes lifted from the book and glanced at him. "Isn't it disgusting?"
"......" Lockhart rolled over to see her sitting on the bed reading a book. "What are you looking at?"
Louise lifted the book up and showed the cover to Lockhart, and he squirted, "This is the book I wrote, are you my book lover?" β
"No, but I have to say, although the details are fake...... But it's well written!" Louise put down the book and continued to flip, "Have you really encountered a vampire?"
"Of course, traveling on a boat with a vampire is both exciting and dangerous, are you interested? Lockhart sat up from the couch, "Come, I'll show you some details and foreshadowing from my book......
"Don't come here, sit down for me!" Louise's eyes widened suddenly, "If you dare to touch me in this room, I'll go back and tell your little girlfriend right away......"
Lockhart reluctantly sat back on the couch: "You really don't want my autograph, and you don't want to be intimate with me? β
"Hmph...... You think too much, I just want to get to know each of my colleagues in depth, and when I become the head of the Auror Command in the future, it will be easier to control you. Louise opened the book and read on.
"Good fellow, how old are you, twenty-three or twenty-four, and having such lofty ideals at such a young age, is my type of person!" Loha complimented loudly against his will, but thought to himself - such a naked-naked pursuit of power, no wonder Tonks said she was a scheming.
"Haha, you actually frankly admit in the book that you are very attentive...... Mr. Lockhart, you're not my type, if you don't have anything to do, go to bed quickly, there's a mission tomorrow. Louise laughed out loud when she read the book: "If there is a surplus, go to the bathroom to solve it yourself, don't disturb me reading." β
"Fix it yourself...... How about I give you a stun spell and fix it yourself?" Lockhart continued to tease the little girl, but seeing that she ignored herself, she also felt bored, and rolled over and went to sleep.
ββ
After a few days of getting acquainted with Louise, Lockhart discovered that she was a normal girl, in addition to her excessive sense of justice and undisguised thirst for power, and she didn't know why she made Tonks so angry.
During the day, Louise competently played the role of a little wife, with the bird holding his arm and running around the North End of Worcester under the pretense of being a tourist. It's a pity that when he stayed in a hotel at night, he didn't let him touch it.
It's been a few days like this, and several groups of people still haven't made progress, such a little beauty is on the side, but she can only watch and can't eat, Lockhart is a little irritable. Werewolf, hurry up and come out and die, go back when you're done, tease Pandora in the office during the day, and occasionally sleep with Hermione in your arms at night, what a perfect schedule.
"It can't be like this, we're going out in the middle of the night to try our luck. Lockhart quietly communicated with his partner while shopping, "Do you think it's possible that Greyback is dressed up every time he comes out?" β
"I don't think it's possible. Louise quietly took Lockhart's hand, "A werewolf who didn't even know to wear a Death Eater mask when he committed a crime, usually comes out in disguise? I think it was his experience of escaping from the pursuit of the two Aurors that made him confident in his own strength, so he chose to openly provoke instead of low-key crimes." β
"Well, then shall we just continue our search, maybe we should go to some remote place?" asked Lockhart cautiously, and after a few days of getting along, he had admitted that Louise had a good brainβat least better than his own, and he liked the feeling of not using his mind to listen to the commands of others.
"Maybe we can try to come out at night, maybe the werewolf isn't as arrogant as we think, maybe he'll come out at night and do something bad for Muggles. Louise pondered for a moment, deciding that it was not entirely intuitive. "Recently, there have been cases of Muggle disappearances in the neighborhood, but we have not found any anomalous ...... during the day"
"Then go back and rest first, and come out in the evening to have a look. β
ββ
The two went back to the hotel and rested for an afternoon before getting up for dinner when the sun went down.
Although the Dementors have been eliminated, the panic caused by the constant attacks and disappearances is still real. As a result, there are almost no people on the streets after dark.
At this time, a man and a woman would be too conspicuous when they walked on the street, so both of them cast a magic spell on themselves and quietly searched along the streets and alleys.
"You can't see your face even if you find anything like this......" Lockhart realized that he had miscalculated, "unlessβ"
"Shhhh......h "Somebody was screaming over there. β
"What, I didn't hear that. Lockhart didn't hear it, but he followed Louise quietly, and through two dark alleys, they saw a figure trotting sneakily with something on his shoulder.
"It's a wizard. Lockhart felt a slight fluctuation in his mana, "What is he carrying?"
"Judging by the size and appearance, it should be a person, or a corpse. The two quietly followed the figure as they discussed in a low voice. "But there are no wizards living in this area, are they Muggles...... And judging by the size of this is certainly not Greyback, we follow. β
Lockhart took out his Auror card, used the communication magic on it, and secretly contacted other nearby Aurors, and then suppressed the magic fluctuations, and the two silently followed the suspected Death Eater wizard.
Not every Auror has the combat power to crush ordinary wizards, but concealment and tracking are required, and Louise is obviously not foolish, and the two quietly follow the suspect through a few alleys, and the person being followed finally stops. (To be continued.) )
