Chapter 26: Failed Kill
"There are many obstacles! Avada is dead!" Lockhart summoned his magic, and the spell kept pressing towards the black shadow, the black shadow dodged left and right, and the wolf was overwhelmed, and kept retreating. The torrential rain spell made it impossible for him to use Apparition.
Barty Jr. had just broken free from his father's Imperius curse, and was unable to regain his strength, relying on obstacles such as trees to dodge attacks.
The Death Curse is a powerful spell that requires a charge of power, and Lockhart's mana is consumed very quickly, but as long as you kill this person, it's worth anything!
"Except for your weapons!" he managed to find a chance to fight back, but Lockhart dodged sideways.
"Broken apart, broken in one go!" Barty Jr.'s bunker was destroyed again, and the wolf rolled behind another tree.
"Cutting!" the tree was cut off.
Seeing that little Barty was about to be forced to have no way to hide, several people ran over, "Professor, we'll help you!"
Hermione was the fastest runner, and a disarming spell struck from the side, knocking the weapon out of the shadow's hand. Seeing this, Lockhart stopped, after all, a person without a wand has no ability to resist and escape, and it may be better to catch it alive.
But little Barty was more cunning than he expected, and he actually drew another wand and pointed it at Harry and Pandora: "Arvada for your life!"
Lockhart couldn't have watched his student be killed, so he removed his wand and knocked the spell away with another death curse. Barty Jr. took the opportunity to unleash the illusion, and Lockhart's Avada hit the empty space.
The children were frightened at this time, and they also realized that they had done something bad: "Teach...... Professor. ”
Lockhart endured his rage and rushed to the children, "What are you doing!"
At this time, a series of "bangs" called them a group of Ministry of Magic staff to come, and they appeared in the air, their wands pointed at them, and Lockhart had to put armor on himself to keep the children out.
"Stop! it's Mr. Lockhart, and my kids!"
"Ron, Harry, Hermione, are you alright?" Mr. Weasley's voice quivered.
"Go away, Arthur. A short, cold voice was heard.
It was Mr. Crouch, who approached them with the other Aurors. Harry stood up and faced them. Mr. Crouch's face tensed with anger.
"Who did that?" he asked, his piercing eyes staring at them, "who conjured up the black mark?"
"Shut up, Crouch. Enraged, Lockhart took his anger out on Old Barty and pointed his wand at him, "I now suspect that you helped your son escape from prison and put down his wand." ”
A bunch of wizards from the Ministry of Magic, look at Crouch, look at Lockhart, don't know who to help.
"That guy just now," Crouch saw the elf Twinkle, who was supposed to be looking at his son. "Is it my son? ”
It was a question, but he realized what was happening, and lowered his wand, and the other Aurors immediately lowered their wands.
Lockhart was so quick by Crouch's quick submission that he couldn't lose his temper, so he had to put down his wand angrily: "If something happens to Harry, I'll kill you!
"What about that man?" asked an Auror.
"Barty Jr. has apparitioned away, and I question Azkaban's ability to guard the prisoners, I hope you don't sue me, Peter Pettigrew has escaped from prison. ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lockhart," said the witch in the long dress, "and the Dementors have forgotten that Peter is an Animagus. ”
Lockhart felt a basin of ice water pour over his back, and he forced himself to calm down. His efforts to capture Peter seemed in vain, no, at least vindicated Sirius's innocence.
He's now the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, and as long as he plans to keep Barty Jr. from sneaking into the school and disrupting the tournament, the situation isn't out of control.
Lockhart snorted, "Pandora, I'll send you back to your grandfather." ”
After sending Pandora back to the minister's tent, Lockhart returned to his tent, and a short time later, Harry and the others arrived at Lockhart's tent.
"Professor, are you alright? Harry said that Hermione knew something was wrong and didn't say a word.
"I'm fine, just let that guy run away, he might find a way to deal with you in the shadows, you understand, Harry! you're in danger right now, be cautious in what you do!"
"Yes, I see, Professor. ”
"Ron. Lockhart shouted angrily, and Ron looked confused: "What's the matter, Professor." ”
"Look at Harry, don't let him die this semester. ”
"Oh, okay professor. ”
Lockhart suddenly felt very powerless, and chased away the guests with great interest: "You guys go back, get ready, school is about to start." ”
Okay professor, before leaving, Hermione said weakly, with tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry, Professor, for the trouble again. ”
Lockhart looked at Hermione's angry little daughter-in-law, and his heart softened: "It's not your fault, it's me who should have used the Phantom Cage Spell first, go back." ”
Hermione covered her face and left the tent, not knowing if she had cried or not, but Lockhart was in no mood to care.
