At this moment, the battle at Hogwarts has entered the second stage - the shield is about to be broken, the elves have been driven back to the underground kitchen, and the sculptures, centaurs and wizards are ready for close combat.

In London, a hundred miles away, all the Aurors and agents were already in place. The first two groups had already started to enter the examination room in the connecting hall through the toilet-style fireplace and the telephone booth, respectively. There was a small change in the plan here. Because Lockhart found that the examination room was newly built and did not have defensive magic, the first two groups of Aurors could start fighting in the examination room first, and the last group of the Ministry of Magic's guards were all attracted by the battle in the hall. When the time came, they broke through the wall and attacked the interior of the Ministry of Magic.

The first two groups of Aurors and MI5 wizard agents entered the examination room one after another. Since they entered the Ministry of Magic to examine their wands, they all held their wands in their hands and did not attract the special attention of the Death Eaters.

But when the Squib agent who couldn't use magic appeared in the examination room with a large-caliber assault rifle, the Death Eaters guarding the door immediately became nervous, but before they could ask questions, Scrimgeour gave an order, and the surprise attack began!

Several Death Eaters standing at the door were immediately killed, and the defense system of the Ministry of Magic hall was activated immediately, but Scrimgeour and the others stood in the examination room and did not enter the door of the hall, no matter how strong the defense system was, they could not do anything to them , we can only close the passage first, and then send an alarm to all Ministry of Magic employees. All combat members of the Ministry of Magic who do not have specific positions began to gather in the hall to prepare to destroy this group of invaders.

At this time, there was still a minute before nine o'clock, and Lockhart and Snape finally flew to the area where they could Apparate, and began to Apparate decisively.

——

According to Snape's request, Lockhart did not go to a specific location, but still Apparated to the outskirts of Tonga, far away from Hogwarts and London. As soon as he landed, Snape decisively broke free from Lockhart's hand and raised his wand at his left arm.

There was no shadow of a god, and his forearm broke away from his body.

The man who had done this, without any hesitation, motioned Lockhart to grab his intact right arm and continue to Apparate.

Lockhart was taken aback by Snape's quick and fiery movements. But it became clear in an instant: At this time, it was nearly a minute before the nuclear bomb exploded, and Voldemort could completely track them with the Dark Mark!

Sure enough, Voldemort's figure appeared more than a dozen meters away just after the casting steps of Apparition were completed. The Apparition was almost over, and he fired a death curse at Lockhart and Snape as quickly as he could, but the two had disappeared into the air...

Watching the enemy escape from under his nose again, the Dark Lord blew up this large field in a rage, but fortunately there was no one nearby. Otherwise, a massacre is inevitable.

Voldemort became tense as his anger subsided a little: he had just been notified of an invasion of the Ministry of Magic, and it stands to reason that he should Apparate to London immediately to help. But the intruder is still being stopped in the examination room, but another matter that concerns his own life needs to be done immediately-he only has one Horcrux left, he has to go back and get it, and take it with him forever!

It was 8:59:50 and Voldemort performed the last remote Apparition of his life with the help of the Floo network.

——

At the same time, the Ministry of Magic was already in a mess, ordinary staff were nervously hiding in their respective offices, and Death Eaters and hired employees who couldn't see the situation wanted to rely on defensive magic to resist - if the defense system was activated normally. Can easily kill any invading Auror or Agent. Good idea, but they don't have the chance.

At nine o'clock, in a slight vibration, all the magic runes on the walls of the Ministry of Magic instantly extinguished, the elevator stopped running, and even the lighting equipment stopped glowing. The two groups of Aurors waiting in the examination room immediately broke the communication. Door to the hall.

A second later, the protective barrier on the Ministry of Magic's walls and the anti-deflagration magic that enveloped a wide area were ineffective. A third group of Aurors and Agents blasted the exterior walls of the Ministry of Magic through directed blasts. Enter directly from the unsuspecting basement level!

Amid the chaotic shouts of "Activate backup energy!" "Illumination!", the Ministry of Magic's tough battle officially began.

The fighting power of the Aurors is of course needless to say, and the power of Muggle firearms far exceeds the expectations of the Death Eaters, except for the more powerful wizards. The iron armor of ordinary wizards could not stop the impact of several large-caliber rifle bullets. Although the wizards guarding the Ministry of Magic had advantages in numbers and geographical advantages, the enemy began to attack at the same time. Not only was a group of Aurors blasted through the walls from an unimaginable basement level, but there were also resistance wizards like Mr. Weasley and his son Percy among the Ministry of Magic staff.

The Death Eaters couldn't resist, and they were losing ground. The blood and corpses instantly made the marble floor of the Ministry of Magic no longer monotonous.

——

Two hero wizards who have just successfully completed the two difficult tasks of killing Nagini and containing the Dark Lord for an hour. The second Apparition landed in a field a dozen miles from Hogwarts. As soon as he appeared and landed, Lockhart quickly used the Elder Wand to stop the bleeding for Snape's bleeding left arm.

"Are you going to restore your arm now with that magic stone, or wait until we find the uncursed unicorn blood?"

"I don't want to be a vampire." Snape didn't look like a wounded man who had just cut off one of his arms, he said coldly: "You should go to the castle to help right now, I'll be there later."

"Okay." Lockhart nodded, and after saying this, he felt that the Floo network at the foothold suddenly failed. Of course, Snape also reacted immediately.

"Your bomb worked." Snape squeezed out a cold smile~lightnovelpub.net~Congratulations, but hurry up and help, Mrs. Lockhart, who frowned beautifully, is still surrounded by Death Eaters Woolen cloth. "

"Although there were some accidents, everything was within the fault tolerance of the plan." Lockhart was happy in his heart and almost wanted to laugh, but he immediately held back and worried about Hermione. "Okay, I'm going to the castle now."

He rose into the air, and while flying at a constant speed, he began to absorb the magic power in the air to restore himself, but he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

That's not right, how could he just get up now that he was full of blood last night?

Combining the symptoms of Ginny's sudden onset of blood thirst before, after thinking for a while, Lockhart realized that the urge to **** blood didn't come from how long he hadn't sucked blood, but from the process of recovering his magic power. When Ginny suddenly went crazy and bit people, it was because it took some magic power to install a time bomb at the Ministry of Magic that day. Before he went to bed, he was full of magic power, and then was stimulated by the fragrance of Ginny's body, and he lost his mind instantly.

He almost didn't fight that day, just triggered a teleportation magic, consumed some magic power in the energy supply room, and blocked the attack of the defense system when he came out, and only used less than one-tenth of the magic power before and after. He almost lost his mind... So today, he fought Voldemort for nearly 20 minutes and exhausted his magic power. If he returned to full, how much sanity would he have left?

He was startled, and he dared not absorb the magic power in the air for a while. The compound decoction he drank also passed the time to work, and Lockhart began to return to his original appearance. Harry's clothes were obviously a little small, and he changed into his wizard robes in the air.
