Chapter 297: Burglary and Murder (II)
Fortunately, a few minutes later, the elf appeared again with a large broom, and it looked like it had been reprimanded by the people in the house, and with some grumbling words in its mouth, it just rightly bypassed the ambush of several people and began to continue clearing the snow.
Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief, unless there was a wizard in the room who was more skilled in memory magic than he was and very smart, it would prove that nothing was going on.
With the help of magic, the elf swept up the snow quickly, and in a short time the snow was swept away from the entire walkway of the manor garden, but the people inside did not come out, so what did they do with it? Lockhart and the others were confused, but they still stood quietly on the second step, the wizard's physical fitness was much better than that of Muggles, and with the help of the light body charm, he would not be tired after standing for a day, but the muscle stiffness and cold hands and feet brought by being motionless could not be avoided, I hope Hermione and Harry can hide under the invisibility cloak a little more comfortably, at least the two of them will not be detected if they move a little, and Albert is worthy of the young wizard praised by Gardvin, and he actually stood beside Lockhart without saying a word from beginning to end, quietly waiting for the target to appearγ
Standing dumbfounded and ambushing people, I'm afraid only the wizarding world has this kind of thing. From the time the sun shone in the sky until the sun set in the west, Lockhart felt more and more irritated, maybe the target had returned to his home through the fireplace somewhere? Maybe they're going to spend Christmas Eve somewhere else?
ββ
The sun was about to set, and the magic power around the ambush site suddenly fluctuated violently.
"Crack!" Harry Manjik and Ruby Manjik finally appeared in front of them with a crisp sound, and the position was still pinpointed to the top step. This Loyalty Spell was created by Harry Manjik himself, and the apparition appeared on this step, and he could enter the range of the Loyalty Charm by raising his legs. This would have been an excellent habit, but this good habit became the culprit of their ambush this time.
Lockhart was the first to make a move, and even though he was stiff after standing for a long time, he still appeared from the talisman charm in an instant, raised his wand and attacked Mrs. Manjik, who was close to him!
A red light shot at the woman who was still slightly dizzy, and Albert followed closely behind without showing any hint, and two stun spells struck her one after the other. But Blake and the two children on the other side did not shoot as fast as Lockhart, and only Blake was the first to raise his wand and aim at the target.
ββ
The sudden attack on his wife startled Manjik. But he also showed the reaction speed of an "Auror Director" at this time, he caught his fallen wife, turned around and used her body to block Lockhart's second spell, and leaned back, ready to retreat directly into the range of the Brave Loyalty Spell!
Damn, it's time to be a killer, Lockhart made a decision in an instant. He was going to use a divine blade to directly cut both targets into four petals, and the other party fell down in this position, and he had no reflexes and time to dodge!
But Albert, who was closer to the two, pounced decisively. He grabbed Lady Manjik's body, blocking Lockhart's attack vision, and disappeared behind the invisible layer of Loyal Loyalty Charm as the two of them disappeared!
"Oh my God!" Lockhart reacted - he should have caught him and gone in with him!
But by this time all three had disappeared into the Loyalty Spell.
"What to do?" Harry lifted his invisibility cloak as well, staring at the void in front of him. At this point, Albert should have been fighting Manjik behind the Loyalty Charm.
"Don't go any further, we'll set off the alarm!" Lockhart said, "We'll wait here for a minute, if he doesn't come out we'll leave, and if the Floo net is cut off, we'll be turtles in an urn!"
"Since Albert can go in. It means that one of the Manjiks is a secret," said Hermione, "and now they're all under the Curse of Faithfulness." Albert has also gone from being an insider to a secret, as long as he doesn't get knocked out and just comes out and pulls us in. β
"But Manjik hasn't been subdued yet, and hopefully Albert wins. "Blame me, I was half a beat slower to react." β
A few people stood stupidly on the steps for a while, and no one came out. There's no way, the young man from the United States can only leave you behind...... Lockhart reached out and grabbed Hermione and Siris' hands, ready to apparition.
ββ
A man suddenly appeared in the air in front of him, it was Albert.
"How can you prove that you are who you are!" Lockhart quickly let go of Hermione's hand and aimed his wand at the big American boy.
"Huh?" Albert's nose was bleeding, a little confused: "How do you prove that I am myself...... Wait......" He slipped back and dragged an unconscious man out after a few seconds: "This guy ...... Bruce Lee is my idol, Wing Chun, hehehaha!"
"Okay, don't show it, if you really know Chinese kung fu, how can your nose bleed?" said Lockhart, "you put him back and come out and take us in." β
"Good. β
"You're not wanted, remember not to be seen in the face, covered. β
βOKγ β
He dragged the unconscious man back into the Loyalty Charm, and as long as the secret was within the range of the Loyalty Charm, all those in the know would automatically become secrets, and Albert successfully brought the other four inside.
ββ
The moment they stepped over the protective layer of the Loyalty Charm, a tall and golden mansion rose before their eyes, with bright yellow walls, three stories high, bright windows, and elaborate carvings, and blue spires.
But they're breaking into people's houses, so let's not take a closer look at other people's houses. Lockhart tied up the Manjiks, floated behind them with flotation, and walked towards the gate.
"Open. With a wave of their wands, the five of them stepped into the mansion in a grand manner.
"Whoever! It's not a guest of Manjik's house, you can't enterβ" The house-elf was the first to react, but before he could finish his sentence, he was knocked unconscious by a spell from Lockhart.
"Harry, remove the Occlumenclum, and if the mysterious man knows of our whereabouts, retreat immediately!" Lockhart commanded, then used a spell to wake up the "Director Auror" lying on the ground.
"You are ......" Manjik looked at the crowd in horror, "the strikers and Aurors of the Ministry of Magic have been dispatched, you wait for death!"
"Shut up. Lockhart slapped him, pulled out the Truth Elixir, and rudely poured him down, "Did your master, the Dark Lord, let you keep the Horcruxes?
"No...... None of them. The man said in a trance.
"The mystery man probably wouldn't tell him it was a Horcrux, but it would be safer for Harry to look for it. Hermione said.
"Well, do you have any potions at home, such as compound decoction and truth potion?" Lockhart asked, "Where, take me to get it!"
"Yes, I'll take you to ......"
"Siris, you search downstairs and arrest all the living. A few of you, here looking at the woman and the elf. Lockhart grabbed the man, ordered him to lead the way, and went upstairs.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you!" a little boy stood on the steps and watched in horror as he forced Manjik upstairs and screamed loudly: "Who are you and why did you break into my house?"
"What's going on?" a slightly older wizard came out of the room, "who are you?" β
"Aurors take the case!, hands up!" Lockhart shouted subconsciously.
"The Aurors will come to the Auror Director's house?!" he said angrily, reaching into the wizard's robes as he reached into the wizard's robes.
"Oh, thank you, you reminded me that I'm not an Auror now. Lockhart's tone softened, and he tied up the old man with a spell, and shouted again with a different line: "The former Auror handles the case, and those who resist will be killed!"
