Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Chapter 98: Sneaky Gilderoy Lockhart



As soon as he returned to Furstenberg Square, Dudley, worried about the pursuit of the French Ministry of Magic, put Newt's handbag on the ground and opened it without caring whether it would be seen by the Muggles around him.

Newt got out of the bag, and at the same time, the roots of the tree rose rapidly and intertwined. It seemed that someone was planning to come out of the Ministry of Magic.

"Mr. Scamander, you can use Apparition now!" Dudley shouted upon seeing this, and quickly put away his handbag. Newt also quickly grabbed Dudley's arm.

With a slight popping sound, Dudley felt as if he was stuffed into a very narrow rubber tube and could hardly breathe.But after a while, his feet felt the touch of the ground again, and some cold fresh air was injected into his lungs again.

"We're here, Dudley." Newt patted Dudley, who was panting. "Apparition is always uncomfortable for the first time. Once you use it more, you'll get used to this feeling."

Dudley looked around. This was not far from Delacour's house, and it was also the place where they had just started.Dudley put his handbag on the ground and opened it. Fleur hurriedly got out of the bag - she had already changed back into her own clothes.

"Did we successfully escape?" Fleur looked around nervously, "Wait, where is Norberta? Norberta fell into the hands of the French Ministry of Magic?"

"Calm down, Fleur, Norbelta is fine." Dudley took off his loose clothes and roared: "NorBelTah!" (Call of the baby dragon)

A loud dragon roar came from the sky, and a moment later, the intact Norbert fell from the sky and returned to Dudley's side.

"Although I have already heard Dumbledore say it, your special abilities still opened my eyes." Newt looked at the returning Norbert in surprise and sighed: "The headquarters of the French Ministry of Magic should have set up a powerful anti-Phantom As far as I know, only house elves and phoenixes can ignore the restriction when they respond to the master's call. Now it seems that there is another one."

"It's just that there are no restrictions because of the power under different systems." Dudley was about to get into the bag space. After all, the large camouflage clothes he was wearing were not suitable for action. "But if the enemy also has this abnormal system, If you have strength, it will become troublesome.”

Dudley changed back into his clothes as quickly as he could and returned to Newt and Fleur, who seemed to be arguing with Newt about something.

"Mr. Scamander, please take me to apparate to Selemuni first!" Fleur looked very anxious. "We split up to find Gabrielle, and I am also the target of the witch-hunting organization. Maybe I can kill them." Lead out—"

"Too reckless, Fleur!" Newt objected sternly, "Not to mention there are so many small villages around Selemuni, how long will it take for us to find a needle in a haystack, and you also know that the members of the witch hunting organization are The attacks are extremely vicious, you don’t know what will happen if you are used as bait!”

"Mr. Scamander is right, we can't search aimlessly." Dudley said solemnly, "And don't worry, Gabrielle might be fine. If Nagini wants to live more - Wait, who’s here?”

Dudley noticed what seemed to be a sneaky figure in the bushes, and Newt immediately turned around and raised his wand.

The figure immediately used Apparition in panic after discovering that he was exposed, but it was obvious that Newt's anti-Apparition spell was one step ahead of him, and the figure disappeared briefly and then reappeared at the original place and fell to the ground.

Dudley and Fleur both rushed over and pointed their wands at the unidentified figure.I saw a man in a gorgeous robe with wavy golden hair. He raised his head and showed an awkward smile when he saw Dudley and Fleur coming over.

"This beautiful lady must be Fleur de la... Stop, wait, wait, I can't breathe!" Before he could finish his words, Fleur roughly twisted his collar and pressed it against the tree trunk. superior.

Fleur's pretty face turned red with anger. It was hard to believe where the slender girl got the strength to pin an adult man to the tree. Dudley also took advantage of the situation and confiscated the wand from the man's waist.

"Gerald Lockhart, you bastard who is just trying to gain fame!" Fleur raised her eyebrows and yelled at the man, "Where did you take Gabrielle?!"

Dudley immediately understood that this man was Gerald Lockhart, the culprit who kidnapped Gabrielle.

"Ahem, let go, I can't speak...Ahem, thank you." Fleur relaxed her hands slightly, allowing Lockhart to catch his breath a little, "Uh, where should I start? , ever since I was coerced by the two Aurors from the French Ministry of Magic——"

"Stop talking nonsense, we already know that you listened to the boy imprisoned in the Ministry of Magic and used Gabrielle as bait!" Dudley said in a deep voice, "To highlight the point, you came back from the Ministry of Magic What did you do, and where is Gabrielle now?"

"No...there is no such thing. Let me explain in advance. I planned to let the girl go from the beginning. It was the idea of ​​the two Aurors." Lockhart hurriedly wanted to refute, but when he saw Fleur After meeting Dudley's cold gaze, he had no choice but to continue speaking honestly.

"We took the little girl to the streets of Selemuni and deliberately let her go. She immediately started to run away, but was soon caught by the Muggles. The two French Aurors and I were on the little girl. After casting the tracking spell, about 10 minutes later, we followed the tracking spell and found a ski shop in a village near Selemuni..."

Hearing this, Fleur gasped, and Dudley could see her slender body trembling slightly with fear.

"We thought that the cannibalistic scene that the boy said would happen, but unfortunately, nothing happened." When Lockhart said this regretfully, he suddenly got a jolt, because Fleur was exuding a terrifying murderous energy. meaning.

"No, no, I'm saying that luckily no tragedy happened." Lockhart quickly changed his words and said in a panic, "At that time, those Muggles seemed to be arguing about whether they should be handed over to a person named Ms. Nagini alive or killed and then sent away. In the past... in the end, they seemed to have received an order from Ms. Nagini, saying that they were to be kept alive, so they decided to send him alive."

Dudley could clearly hear Fleur next to him heaving a sigh of relief. Since she wasn't killed immediately by the witch-hunting organization, it seemed that Gabrielle still had a high chance of being alive.

"The two Aurors were very happy after hearing this, saying that Ms. Nagini was probably the mother of the girl, so she specifically cared to keep her child alive. Wait, this is their opinion, not mine. I was just dragged on—" Seeing that Fleur seemed about to get angry, Lockhart quickly waved his hands to distance himself from the relationship.

"So we decided to follow the group of Muggles up the mountain and find the person named Ms. Nagini... But this plan was not completely successful."

"On the way, a slovenly man attacked the Muggle team and wanted to steal the Veela half-blood girl!"
