Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 248 Dumbledore's Personal Visit
The moment the magical light appeared.

"Gidrolockhart" laughed wildly and fell backward—

A portal of light appeared just in time behind him, engulfing "Gidrolohart".

With a flash of light, "Gidrolockhart" vanished from his spot. Countless beams of magical light struck the place where he had been standing, blasting a large hole in the ground with a loud "boom," sending huge plumes of dust and debris flying in all directions.

"Where did he go?" Professor McGonagall asked, puzzled, then suddenly waved her wand behind Sirius Black. "Watch out! Behind you!"

Although Sirius Black had been imprisoned in Azkaban for thirteen years, he still had a wealth of combat experience. The moment Professor McGonagall waved her wand, he reacted immediately and almost instinctively drew his wand and released an "Expelliarmus" spell behind him.

As the red light from your weapon collided with a white beam of light in mid-air, the red light only provided a brief barrier before being immediately broken through by the white light, which then shot towards Sirius Black's chest.

Sirius Black had no time to dodge, only managing to veer slightly to the left, allowing the white light to strike his right arm.

"Ah—" Sirius Black screamed as his right arm turned to stone instantly, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Close your eyes!" Alastormudi shouted, then slammed his cane heavily on the ground—

A bright, meteor-like orb of light rose from the tip of his cane, exploding in mid-air and releasing an extremely dazzling light—

The other members of the Order of the Phoenix closed their eyes the instant the orb of light appeared. A normal person exposed to such light in the dark would be blinded for at least half a minute, but—

"Gidro Lockhart" is not an ordinary person, or rather, Gidro Lockhart is not human at all, so this kind of light sphere tactic has no effect on him.

When Alastomodi opened his eyes again—

Tierra was standing just centimeters away from him.

Moody was taken aback. He raised his cane, ready to cast an Ironclad Charm on himself, but—

"Gidrolockhart" smiled, raised the staff in his hand that was taller than a person, and slammed it down hard on Moody's head.

Moody was knocked unconscious without even uttering a sound.

After knocking Moody unconscious, "Gidro Lockhart" quickly disappeared into the portal again.

Only then did several spells belatedly strike Alastormudi.

"Damn it!" Professor McGonagall, the elegant old lady from England, cursed without any regard for etiquette. "What kind of magic is this? How did he teleport in Gringotts?"

“This isn’t teleportation!” Snape and Professor McGonagall stood back to back, warily scanning their surroundings. “This is another kind of magic! I don’t know why he can ignore the restriction against teleportation in Gringotts vault.”

"Damn it, Snape! How did you investigate?" Sirius Black, dragging his petrified right arm, switched to his left hand to grip his cane, and cursed back-to-back with Remus Lupin. "Didn't you say Gilderoy Lockhart was a good-for-nothing?"

“He’s a complete idiot!” Snape replied, somewhat angrily. “He’s a shameless idiot who cheats people by plagiarism and using the Oblivion Charm.”

A soft chuckle came from the darkness—

Because Alastormodi was unconscious, the orb of light he launched lost its magical support and gradually went out, plunging the area back into darkness.

“Gidro Lockhart is no longer.” As soon as the words were spoken, a dazzling portal lit up in the darkness, and “Gidro Lockhart,” holding a cane in one hand and with a large, thick book flying around him, walked out of the portal.

"Collapse!"

"Confinement quickly!"

"Shattered to pieces!"

"Except your weapons!"

"All petrified!" "Divine Blade Without a Trace!"

The Six Paths of Demonic Spell flew towards "Gidrolowhart," but—

All the spells stopped in front of "Gidrolockhart," like insects frozen in amber.

Gilderoy Lohart paused with his staff, and the spell frozen in the void twisted and transformed into ring-shaped worms in mid-air.

Six worms gathered towards the center, forming a giant, colorful snake.

The giant serpent burst free from its spatial confinement, flying towards Snape and McGonagall. At the same time, Gilderoy Lockhart waved his other hand—

The hard rocky ground of the entire cave seemed to transform into a soft female body, undulating like waves.

Sirius lost his balance again and fell to the ground.

Countless slimy tentacles emerged and bound Sirius Black, while countless other tentacles appeared beneath the other members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Filius Frivi, thanks to his small stature, nimbly dodged the attack. But the others weren't so lucky.

Kingsley Shaker was tripped and then sucked into the soft ground, leaving only his shoulder and head above the ground.

Snape and Professor McGonagall held out a little longer, with Snape even using "Swords of Faith" to cut off many tentacles. However, they were still outnumbered. For every tentacle cut off, two more would appear, constantly moving towards them. In the end, Philius Flitwick, Remus Lupin, Snape, and Professor McGonagall were all bound by tentacles. Of course, there was also the goblin Grey who had initially brought in "Giddy Lockhart," but Tyella had imprisoned him at the very beginning of the fight.

Gilderoy Lohart smiled, and just as he was about to say something, suddenly, a golden-red flame appeared in the void—

……

Just minutes before, Dumbledore and Tyrell were standing on the deck of the cruise ship admiring the scenery. Dumbledore was telling a really old joke from his time, and then suddenly—

"Oh...sorry, Tierra...my stomach hurts a little...would you like to go back to your room and wait for me? I'm going to the restroom, I'll be right back." Dumbledore's expression suddenly changed, and then he said kindly.

Then, without waiting for Tierra's response, Dumbledore immediately turned around and hurriedly ran towards the stern of the ship. In the sky above the cruise ship, a large golden-red bird suddenly appeared and flew towards the stern of the ship.

Just as Dumbledore reached the stern of the ship, the golden-red bird flew over.

Dumbledore waved his hand, and the others standing at the stern simultaneously turned their heads in other directions. Then Dumbledore stretched out his hand upwards—

“Let’s go, Fox,” Dumbledore said calmly.

“Ah—” Phoenix Fawkes screamed and grabbed Dumbledore’s hand.

Flames spread from the phoenix Fawkes, and in an instant, the man and the bird transformed into a fireball and disappeared from the cruise ship. The next second, Dumbledore appeared in the deep, dark vault of Gringotts.

As soon as Dumbledore appeared, he waved his wand—

A crimson flame shot out from the tip of the staff, forming a giant fire beast in the shape of a phoenix, which charged toward Gilderoy Lohart.
