All things are three at Hogwarts

At this time, Gilderoy Lockhart had just killed a Death Eater with Nancy's daughter on his back.

They had just walked up the hillside when they spotted this Death Eater standing on a tree looking around. Lockhart, who had experienced several life-and-death duels, put down the little girl and approached under the cover of the trees, looking quite professional. He used a healing spell to knock him down to the ground.

The Death Eater's arm turned into a hose with only flesh and no bones, and the wand fell to the ground with him. He seemed to be temporarily confused due to the height. Lockhart held the wand carefully and slowly spoke to Patricia. Slowly approaching, while still some distance away, Lockhart pulled out all the bones in the opponent's leg without saying a word.

The Death Eater who had been hit by a last hit finally came to his senses. He watched Gilderoy carrying Patricia on his back and getting closer little by little. He wanted to hide back, but his arms and legs had no bones at all. Take advantage of the method.

Anxious and angry, the Death Eater shouted at Lockhart: "Gilderoy, don't resist needlessly anymore. We are all in front of you. Even if you successfully deal with me, you will still be able to do it when you get to the front." If you are caught, surrender obediently and go back with us to see your master, so that you can suffer less before you die!"

"Forgot everything!" Gilderoy raised his chin and turned his body slightly. The curse hit the other person's chest and shut his mouth. Then he turned around, picked up the little girl on his back, and continued walking towards the mountain. Death Eater When he opened his eyes again, he was in a trance and his eyes were confused.

The little girl was a little excited to see Lockhart take down another bad guy. She lay on Lockhart's back and slapped her: "Lockhart, you are getting better and better!"

"Of course, I'm Lockhart! But remember to keep silent, Patricia. Maybe we can solve a few of them this way." Lockhart responded with a smile, but at this time his heart was very heavy.

These Death Eaters already know the destination they want to go to. They are intercepting him on the way to Wagadu. And this guy just lost contact with those people. I am afraid it will not be long before they know that he is here. direction, and he was not sure whether he could successfully escape from the pursuit of these Death Eaters.

Thinking of this, Lockhart bit his lips and secretly cheered himself up, encouraging himself: Now that he can look at the building on the top of the mountain, as long as he is careful, he can definitely escape with Patricia.

On the next road, Lockhart became more and more cautious. He was like a frightened rabbit, moving forward on high alert and trying not to make too much noise. Patricia lay on his back and covered her mouth. She didn't dare to say it. In her excitement just now, she forgot what the other party had told her, which made her feel very guilty.

Their caution paid off. After crossing a hill, a Death Eater who he had seen torture Muggles very cruelly was looking around in front of a bunch of cactus jungle.

Lockhart was some distance away from the Death Eaters. His healing spell could not be effectively cast for such a long time, and Lockhart did not dare to get too close. Unlike before, there was no tree cover this time. He was worried that it would be too long. Lockhart was afraid that he would be discovered if he was close. He looked at the cactus jungle behind the Death Eaters and the cactus scattered everywhere. It is one of the oldest spells used by wizards.

Lockhart continued to hide behind the tree, slowly stretched out his wand and pointed it at the group of cacti behind the Death Eater. He took the opportunity to turn around and directly issued a "Flying Cactus!" to those cacti growing on the ground. and cactus flew towards Lockhart, but the route they flew towards was also facing the Death Eater, and because they were too close to each other, countless cactus pieces fiercely penetrated the Death Eater's body, especially his Eyes, he was caught off guard, and several sharp thorns were inserted directly into his eyeballs. The pain made him scream instantly. He didn't care that his bare arms were also covered with cacti and wanted to pull them out, but the pain in his eyes made him scream. After a slight touch, he didn't dare to continue to act rashly.

Although he successfully pricked the Death Eater into a hedgehog, under the influence of the curse, some cacti and prickly pear balls flew toward his palm at high speed. Although he tried to avoid it, many of them still pricked him. Lockhart's arm, which was running towards the Death Eaters, was now ragged and without even a layer of clothing. Ironically, on the arm where Lockhart was marked with the Dark Mark by Voldemort, there was a tattoo of a skull and mouth. The tongue-like venomous snake in there also happened to be pricked in the eye by a cactus thorn.

Lockhart endured the pain, rushed in front of the Death Eater, pointed his wand at the opponent and performed the same trick again, giving him the same fate as the Death Eater in front of him, and then ran away quickly with Patricia.

Lockhart then began to try to pull out the cactus thorns on his arm, but after finding that it was too time-consuming, he stopped caring and continued on his way.

But Patricia didn't understand the reason. She saw that Lockhart had successfully defeated another bad guy, and she felt happy in her heart. But when she saw Lockhart pull out the thorns left on his arm, She couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "It must hurt."

"It doesn't matter, just prick some skin. Time is precious. Once these bad guys find the person I just defeated, they will follow me and grab me. I have to speed up. We will be safe soon!" Lockhart Carrying Patricia on their backs in the jungle, they cautiously increased their speed and walked forward. However, the need to observe the surrounding situation while walking meant that their speed was still not much faster.

"Merlin bless you..." Lockhart prayed secretly in his heart. He knew that he had to hurry up. Looking at the buildings on the top of the mountain in the distance filled his heart with the feeling of darkness before dawn. As long as they ran to Wagadu, The largest magic school in the world can be saved. Those African wizards will protect themselves, and those Death Eaters don't dare to blatantly cause trouble here...

Rohart bit his lips, hoping that he would ignore the pain caused by the cactus thorns on his arms and the sore muscles, and tried his best to move forward in the direction of Wagadu, and passed through several forests of trees and cactus, climbing up After reaching a hillock, Lockhart suddenly stopped, listened attentively and looked up. Scared birds were flying in all directions in the direction he came from. Lockhart's brows were knitted tightly together. It seemed that the Death Eaters had discovered it. The two wizards who were defeated by him.

After that, the noise behind him became louder and louder, and the faint sound of Death Eaters' search could be heard. Although they had not found Lockhart because they still needed to conduct a carpet search, the despair enveloped his heart more and more heavily. , if he falls into the hands of the Death Eaters, he who caused such a big thing last time will definitely have no chance of survival this time. If it weren't for the fact that the magic academy prohibits disembodiment, Lockhart would have planned to take the risk and teleport directly to him. He also didn't dare to teleport himself and the little girl across continents to other places. If the distance was too close, even if he successfully escaped in front of him, if the other party positioned himself in this way again, Lockhart felt that his own mental and physical state was now It is impossible to support him to escape again in front of the Death Eaters who can take turns to rest...

Now that the Death Eaters were behind him, Lockhart no longer concealed his movements and ran with all his strength. Lockhart's heart beat wildly, like a drum, and the branches scratched Lockhart's face. He took off his clothes, and the violent movement caused the thorns on his arms to make the wound bigger. Blood beads suddenly appeared, and Lockhart felt that his vision was blurry.

But suddenly, many birds started to fly in the woods in front of them. It seemed that the Death Eaters had directly apparated to the front and surrounded them.

Lockhart wiped his forehead with his sweaty hands and felt the presence of the remaining cactus thorns on it. He bit his lip and wiped it roughly a few times to remove all the thorns. The little girl who still didn't understand this situation smiled and put her finger on her lips to make a silent gesture.

He slowed down his pace and looked around at the surrounding environment, high jungles, low bushes, any places that were difficult to find and suitable for hiding. Lockhart anxiously searched for hiding places around him. , the sweat on my head continued to flow down. But there are either tall trees or low grass here. Do you want to hide in the grass?

The sound of "crackling" branches being broken was faintly heard, and the voices of the Death Eaters gradually became clearer. He gritted his teeth, and a green cactus jungle came into Lockhart's eyes. His lips had already been bitten and bled. , he carried Patricia on his back and quickly rushed towards the green cactus jungle.

In front of the cactus jungle, he suddenly stopped and squatted down. Patricia slid off his back. His hands held Patricia's shoulders, and his disordered breathing made his voice tinny. And weak: "Little Patricia, I will hide you in the cactus bushes for a while. I have to deal with those bad guys and then come to you... But you know that my sense of direction is a bit poor... If I never come back... .Then when you see the sun rising again, walk towards the building on the top of the mountain, find those black uncles, and ask them to take you to England to find your mother..."

Patricia raised her head to face him. Her big eyes were bloodshot due to the side effects of the Cruciatus Curse and days of running away. Her nose was also red. She sniffed hard, with tears hanging on her dirty little face.

"I don't want to be separated, let's hide together," the little girl said intermittently with a milky voice, "We want to go back to England to find our mother together."

Patricia covered her face with her hands and wiped away her tears and snot, sobbing uncontrollably.

At this time, the expression on Gilderoy Lockhart's face, which looked ferocious because of his bald head and bloodstains, became extremely gentle. It was an expression that had never been seen by any of his previous fans in his previous world. He He knelt down and stretched out his hand to stroke the little girl's tangled hair that had not been washed for a long time: "It's just a short separation. If I don't come back to you in time, I will eventually go to the big houses on the top of the mountain to find you. I promised you , take you to see your mother."

"Will you really come back to me?"

"Gilderoy Lockhart never lied... wouldn't lie to you."

Patricia nodded sadly in agreement, then she threw herself at Lockhart who was squatting on the ground, kissed him quickly on the face, and then she buried herself in Lockhart's arms and continued to sob.

"Patricia, if you are accidentally stung by a cactus, you must hold back and hide. No matter what you see or hear, don't move or make a sound. Use this stick to kill the cactus when it gets up. Poke it open..." Lockhart used his wand to dig a hole in the cactus bush, and let the little girl get in. Then, Lockhart waved his wand, and the cactus and prickly pear gradually covered the small hole.

But when he was about to completely cover the hole, Lockhart suddenly remembered that he reached out and took out the crumpled manuscript from his pocket. His old face turned red and he couldn't help but handed the book to the hole: "Patricia, if I come back late, remember to teach these black uncles this book too..."

"Okay." The little girl stretched out her little hand to take the book, and the little girl's waxy voice came, "Then don't come back late!"

"I'll try my best not to make a sound!" Lockhart's eyes followed the movement of the book and he murmured in a low voice: "This time, I really can't be considered a liar."

Immediately, Lockhart waved his wand, and the cactus and prickly pear completely sealed the hole. He manually adjusted it to try to make sure that there were no traces of the cacti that had actually been broken and would fall over as soon as they were pushed.

Lockhart stood up and was about to leave when he heard the childish voice of the little girl coming from the cactus pile: "Lockhart."

Lockhart's head trembled slightly and turned around: "Patricia, don't be afraid, I told you not to make any sound..."

"you are my hero."

Lockhart's lips trembled slightly on his pale face, and he closed his lips tightly. He put his hands on the cacti above the heads of the little girls, and prayed secretly to Merlin without caring about the pain caused by those thorns: If you really have any magic power, Merlin, if you really have any power, show yourself and let your power protect this little guy from successfully climbing to Wagadu and back to England!

The bald wizard has not considered the possibility that if he uses Apparition to escape without anyone, the Death Eaters who have not found his trace will definitely continue to search all over the place before getting the news. The girl was bound to be discovered by them. He just ran towards the place in the forest right in front of him where the birds had just startled. He planned to show up deliberately to attract all the Death Eaters. The target of the Death Eaters was him, whether it was them or their master. Not even caring about a little Muggle girl.

"Goodbye, Patricia." Lockhart responded softly, tears already welling up in his eyes, but there was a perseverance on his face that showed no hesitation and courage to move forward.
