Without taking anyone else, Lockhart followed Scrimgeour to a hill in the southwest of England. It was said to be a barren hill, but it was actually just protected with the Brave Loyalty Charm, so that outsiders could not see what was inside. The mountainside was isolated with the Muggle Expelling Charm, and there were still a large number of Muggle buildings under the surrounding mountains. Now it's more and more difficult for wizards to hide, and a large part of them have given up remote wizarding settlements for reasons such as convenience and enjoyment, and chose to be neighbors with Muggles.

"What am I doing here?" After leaving the Horcrux in Hermione's bag, Lockhart felt refreshed, and the depression and despair faded, although the idea of ​​revenge for Moody still existed, But not so extreme anymore. "Didn't I just come here to ask about the situation this time? You bring someone to make him alert, right?"

"Just to be on the safe side..." Scrimgeour said, "I want you to know where it is. It's under the protection of the Faithful Charm, and the person who keeps it a secret is himself. Oh, his name is Randu Loyer. Although I'm also an insider, but After the Ministry of Magic was taken, the Faithful Charm must have been reset, which means I can't get into his house now."

"You want me to be an insider too? But now we are rebels in the wizarding world, even if you don't report it for your own sake, he will apply to reset the Faithful Charm as soon as we leave - even if the Death Eaters control magic The Ministry will also try to please such important personnel who have no position.”

"I had a life-threatening relationship with him, a real life-changing relationship. I won't say much about the specifics." A smile melted on Scrimgeour's cold and determined face, as if remembering what happened back then, "I dare say, even if I Ask him to betray the Ministry of Magic to help us, and he'll say nothing...but--I'm afraid he's bound by an unbreakable oath."

"What kind of experience is it to have a few friends who have been friends?" Lockhart asked half-jokingly. Scrimgeour didn't answer, and he wasn't ready to really hear the answer. Maybe he would in the future. some.

Scrimgeour didn't speak, he raised his hand and set off a magic firework. The two stood silently for a while, and someone came out of the bare open space—because of the Faithful Charm. This figure suddenly appeared in the field of vision of the two of them.

This is a sturdy man, in his forties or fifties, of course, the grade of the wizard is not very easy to judge. Sixty or seventy years old is not impossible. Unlike Scrimgeour's hard-working, grey hair, this man had jet black hair and a handsome beard, and it was obvious that the secrecy had an easy job--that locked door was too strong for protection. , the history of uninvited guests who broke into that door can be counted on one hand, of course. This also has to do with the fact that no one wants to destroy the energy supply system.

He came over with a big smile on his face, excited to see his old friend, and then he saw Lockhart.

——

Landu's face changed suddenly, he stared at Lockhart coldly: "Director Lockhart, why are you free to come to me, don't forget that I am not dispatched by the Magic Law Enforcement Division special personnel."

"Huh?" Lockhart didn't respond for a while. Oh yes, he must have thought he was the fake Lockhart, and Scrimgeour was supposed to be a fugitive at this point, so...

Lockhart groaned badly. But it was too late - Rando quickly pulled out his wand and waved it at him. As a former Auror of the same generation as Scrimgeour, his magic was also quite astonishing, and a red light instantly rushed to Lockhart's In front of him - fortunately, his shot speed was not as fast as Moody's, and Lockhart was barely able to react. In terms of power, there are a few people who can match Lockhart with the Elder Wand.

With a wave of his left hand, an iron armor spell without a staff blocked the opponent's spell, but it didn't completely cancel it. The spell hit the protective spell and knocked Lockhart back a few steps. But he had also pulled out the Elder Wand in his right hand, and fired back unceremoniously.

"Stop it, Lando, Gilderoy!" Scrimgeour shouted, drawing his wand too. Trying to protect both sides, "This is the real Gilderoy Lockhart, the one from the Ministry of Magic is fake!"

But Scrimgeour's old friend didn't stop, apparently thinking that Lockhart from the Ministry of Magic had captured the fugitive Scrimgeour, controlled him with the Imperius Curse, and now the only way to save Scrimgeour. Just kill Lockhart.

"Remove the Imperius Curse, or you won't want to leave here alive today!" Lando yelled at Lockhart, attacking him continuously.

These seniors who have been Aurors for many years are really more irritable than each other, and they are not ambiguous at all... Lockhart reluctantly thought that if he had the Elder Wand and his strength was sufficient, wouldn't he have to eat for no reason? suffering? He unceremoniously threw back several powerful attacking spells, the surging magic fluctuations, and the powerful spells, which made the former Auror tremble.

The professional characteristics of Aurors made them have no sense of being a strong man, and he resolutely retreated back to the Curse of Faithful Loyalty.

"Well, what are you doing..." Lockhart said helplessly.

Scrimgeour shrugged apologetically, then yelled at the patch of air in front of him, "Rando, get out, don't do it, I can explain!"

"That Lockhart at the Ministry of Magic was a Death Eater, and the real anti-Black Magic fighter was on my side from start to finish. Now that Dumbledore was killed by Snape, we had to flee outside, and now Need your help!" Scrimgeour was unequivocal, explaining the cause and effect of the matter in one breath.

Half a minute later, Landu came out again, but still raised his wand alertly: "How do you prove that you are not under the Imperius Curse?"

"You still don't know me~lightnovelpub.net~I may be controlled by the Imperius Curse?" Scrimgeour said proudly, "You can try attacking me with the Imperius Curse, if it doesn't work, it means I am Occlumency has not been lifted..."

Landu nodded, pointing his wand at Scrimgeour. "Out of the body!"

Scrimgeour used Occlumency with all his might, breaking free from the spell's effects with ease.

"Well, that's right, why are you here!" Rando put away his wand with confidence, resumed his smile, came over to hug Scrimgeour, and apologized to Lockhart: "I'm sorry. Young man, but your strength is good, I'm really not your opponent."

"Senior, you are very polite, you almost knocked me down with one move just now." Lockhart put away his wand and answered politely.

"Almost? Haha, you know, the reaction speed is so poor, even if I sneak attack you 10,000 times, I can't succeed once." Randu laughed, "Okay, grab my shoulders, and I will bring you two into the spell range."
