Chapter 45: Gorgeously counterattacked

"Why don't you resist? Do you really think you can run away from me?" Lockhart kicked him and said viciously, "Drill the heart!"

Barty Jr. rolled on the ground again, but he didn't beg for mercy.

At this point, the battle here caught the attention of the audience, and a group of adult wizards flew over, and Lockhart could only stop the retaliatory torture.

"Gildero, what's going on, what's wrong with Filch. Dumbledore was the first to arrive and asked.

"You don't have to speak, I know everything, Barty Jr.," Lockhart didn't answer Dumbledore directly, and smugly kicked Barty Jr. again. "From now on, everything you say will be a testimony in court!"

"Is he little Barty?" everyone present was shocked.

At this point, Barty Jr.'s face twisted and gradually changed back to his original form - young and crazy, and Lockhart had to admit that he was second only to his own handsomeness, but Barty Jr. did not show a desperate expression.

"You think you've won?" Barty Jr. glared at Lockhart.

"It's hard to be a mouthful. Lockhart raised his foot and wanted to continue kicking, but was stopped by Dumbledore: "Gildero, pay attention to your manners, there are people from the Ministry of Magic present, just leave it to them." ”

"Well, let him enjoy the Dementor kisses. "Lockhart doesn't care, he won anyway.

Several Aurors from the Ministry of Magic came over and held Barty Jr., who didn't resist, but a maniacal smile gradually appeared on his face - a few minutes had passed, and he had managed to lure the Auror and the teacher away!

"Hahahahaha," Barty Jr. had never felt so happy, and he even deliberately imitated Lockhart's laughter and lines, "Gilderoy Lockhart, there's no denying that you're a good and powerful wizard, and you're also very smart, worthy of being re-elected as a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, butβ€”I won!"

Lockhart suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he was terrified: "What crazy are you talking about, you have failed." ”

Lockhart turned to the Aurors and asked, "How's the game going?"

"It's not over yet, we saw that there was a situation here, so we came here first. Scrimgeour replied.

Little Barty continued to laugh and laugh, "I have sent Potter's blood to my master! Master's plan will succeed, he will restore his power, and I will be his most important wizard!"

"Didn't you see, I fixed Harry" Don't talk about the others, Lockhart is also confused, "Your plan has failed!"

"Thank you for holding Harry in check! Let a Squib easily deal with the Savior!Hahahaha..."

Lockhart's face changed drastically, he knew that something was wrong, and he subconsciously aimed his wand at little Barty - "Avada Suo!"

"Stop! Gildero," Scrimgeour said, blocking the curse, "and we'll take care of it." ”

Lockhart didn't have time to talk nonsense with them, he turned and flew towards the labyrinth, his heart was now at the bottom, but there was still a glimmer of hope, and Dumbledore followed.

"Gildero, what's the matter with you. Dumbledore asked Lockhart in the air.

"I'm afraid it's all my fault that guy succeeded..."

Seeing the scene, Lockhart's heart went cold - the trophy was gone, Harry and Cedric fell to the ground, and Harry was still bleeding.

Dumbledore waved his hand to lift the spell from Harry, and Harry jumped to his feet.

"Headmaster, Professor, Filchβ€”" Harry's eyes filled with fear, "he popped up, cut me with a knife, took my blood, then grabbed the trophy and disappeared!"

"The trophy was bewitched with a Confusion Charm, and it turned into a portkey to Voldemort's location, and Barty Jr. lured me away and then let Filch, who had been caught under the Imperius Curse, take Harry's blood. "Lockhart is now explaining to Dumbledore like the walking dead.

Since he was born, he has never been so defeated, he was toyed with by Barty Jr. from beginning to end, and even grabbed Barty Jr. easily, just because he wanted to distract Filch who had fallen under the Imperius curse.

-- Barty Jr.'s arrest only makes his watch more like a loyal hymn to Voldemort, an epic show -- a faithful servant of Voldemort who sacrificed himself to bring victory to his master!

He used to think that he was the smartest wizard in the world, because he played with a dozen powerful wizards with memory charms, and after gaining the memories of the time-traveling, this self-confidence reached its peak, and he considered himself the center of the world, the protagonist. He believed that with a clever mind and the ability to be an unpredictable prophet, he could become a wizard as great as Dumbledore and as famous as Lord Voldemort.

Now, he knows he's wrong, that it's out of his control from beginning to end, and that what he thinks is changing the plot makes Barty Jr.'s plan even more thrilling and suffocating than in the original book - if Barty's arrest is only part of the plan.

Lockhart's table xiΓ n is just an ornament that makes the enemy's victory shine even more brightly.

For a proud and intelligent wizard like Lockhart, there is no more powerful damage than a blow to his self-confidence. He felt like the whole world was floating now, and his glory, fame, and even the girl he fell in love with were just a flash in the pan, all part of the enemy's plan.

"Gildero!" Dumbledore saw that something was wrong, and added a tranquilizing charm to his voice, "It's not your fault, no one can see through this plan." ”

"No, if I had just destroyed the trophy at the time, it would have ruined the plan, if I hadn't chased Barty Jr. and stayed to protect Harry..."

Dumbledore was helpless, ignoring Lockhart's gaze at Professor McGonagall.

"McGonagall, what's going on over there," Dumbledore asked, feeling the commotion on the podium.

"Filch was passed back by that trophy and shouted frantically, 'His master, the mystery man is back!' and I had knocked him unconscious. Looks like he's been hit by a powerful Imperius curse. McGonagall explained.

"Well, you've handled it well, now you take Harry and Gildelow back to their room to rest, and by the way, remember to call Gildero's little girlfriend to watch him, it's the little girl from the Fudge family. ”

"What's wrong with Gildero, is he also under a curse? ”

"He was too proud to accept this failure. ”

"Voldemort," Harry asked weakly beside him, "has he really returned?" ”

"Harry," Dumbledore turned back to Harry's gaze with a pair of wise eyes, "I'm afraid it's true." ”
