Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

"Did you...did you just see that?"

one of them asked, stuttering.

"nonsense!"

Another man said unhappily, he took out the cheap cigarette he found in the cabin and wanted to take a puff, then he found that his hands were shaking.

He held his right hand with his other hand and turned his head to look to the side.

The light of the setting sun reflected on their faces, making their faces red.

If not, they should be able to see that each other's faces were equally pale and terrified.

One of them had golden hair and was very handsome. Even though he looked haggard and dishevelled now, he still looked like a prince in distress.

It was Gilderoy Lockhart, who was sent to Azkaban not long ago.

The man next to him had sunken eyes, a thin body, long hair tied into a knot, black nails on all ten fingers, and his body was covered with dirt that had accumulated for who knows how many years.

It looked very similar to how Sirius looked when he was just taken out of Azkaban.

They were the ones who escaped from Azkaban together.

It was a natural cage and no prison break had ever happened before.

Not long ago, Lockhart was sentenced and officials from the Ministry of Magic were responsible for escorting him to Azkaban.

But the officials underestimated Lockhart's level of magic - after all, he looked like a straw bag in every way, and in fact he was.

However, no matter how useless Lockhart was, there was one spell he used to perfection - that was the Oblivion Charm.

In the past, he had to use a wand to cast the Oblivion Charm, but after his wand was broken, he was tortured by Dementors in Azkaban, which actually inspired Lockhart to have more perseverance and strength than he had ever had before.

He had mastered the skill of casting the Oblivion Charm without a wand on his own.

Not all guards in Azkaban were Dementors. After all, that place also held prisoners with less serious crimes and, in some cases, prisoners who were under interrogation.

Therefore, in addition to the Dementors, there were often officials from the Ministry of Magic patrolling there. Lockhart took the opportunity to cast the Oblivion Charm and snatched the other party's wand and the key in his hand.

Later, he met people around him and helped Peter escape from Azkaban.

They had big plans after escaping from prison... but they died before they could accomplish their mission, and before they even returned to land, one of the three of them was gone.

"Gal, did you see who killed Peter?" Lockhart asked.

Chapter 278 Prison Break Duo

"I'm hiding down there like you, what can I see?"

Gal retorted in annoyance, then glanced at the sea in the distance, just in time to see a shark swimming past the side of the boat. He retracted his head with lingering fear.

"Anyway...it must be a powerful wizard, or an Animagus...I saw a bird fly out of the sea."

"What bird?" Lockhart asked again.

"An eagle, maybe," Gal guessed.

He didn't know much about birds.

The two were silent for a while and looked at each other.

"Peter is dead, what shall we do?"

……

The scene of Lockhart grabbing the wand and escaping from his cell was naturally seen by the surrounding prisoners, and they all clamored for him to release them as well.

However, during his time in prison, Lockhart not only had his happiness sucked away by patrolling Dementors and fell into sadness and despair, but was also often insulted and bullied by other prisoners.

In this place where morality is at a low point, the halo of good looks and fame not only did not bring him any benefits, but instead made him fall to the bottom of the class.

Therefore, after escaping, Lockhart not only did not rescue his cellmates, but instead named them one by one with the Forgetfulness Charm.

The power of his spell is enough to make those guys become empty-headed idiots for the rest of their lives.

Then Gal, who was in the cell diagonally opposite, called him.

Gal is also a criminal with a less serious crime. He is a vampire and also knows a little magic.

Because he was witnessed using magic to steal the blood bank of a Muggle hospital, he committed the crime of theft and violated the Statute of Secrecy and was sent to Azkaban.

Lockhart had no intention of releasing him, but Gar changed his mind with one sentence -

"You can escape from the cell, but do you know how to deal with the Dementors?"

Lockhart thought he could cast the Patronus Charm, so he released him.

But in fact, Gar didn't know such a profound spell as the Patronus Charm, and he had never even been to school.

After encountering the Dementors, his only solution was to transform into a big bat and then knock the Dementors away with one head.

——This monster that feeds on positive human emotions seems a bit clumsy when facing simple-minded animals.

But after colliding with three Dementors in succession, Gar was so depressed that he almost turned into a mushroom. Lockhart had to carry the dejected big bat on his back and run away.

While running around, they met Peter Petillo who was imprisoned in a special prison.

News about Peter dominated the headlines for some time, and both Lockhart and Gar recognized this famous traitor and the Dark Lord's loyal subordinate.

At that time, Peter was walking around in his prison. When he saw the two men, his eyes lit up immediately. He rushed forward, grabbed the iron bars and said, "Help me! Get me out!"

Even the windows of his cell were tightly gridded, so that only one finger could be inserted through them. Food had to be delivered through special thin tubes.

The floor and walls had a metallic sheen and looked narrow and solid.

The facilities in this cell ensured that even if Peter turned into a mouse, he would not be able to dig a hole and get out, but correspondingly, his life was miserable.

Seeing that Lockhart and the other man had no intention of unlocking the door, Peter pressed his face against the railing and said loudly:

"Even if you escape, you are still wanted criminals! Besides...except the Dark Lord, who else can protect you? Dumbledore?"

……

All in all, they later became three people.

Peter wanted to release more prisoners, but most of the prisoners who were detained for a short period of time refused on their own.

If they don't escape from prison, they can return to normal society after staying for a while; if they escape from prison and are caught again, they will probably get a Dementor's Kiss.

What's more, it is still unclear whether jailbreaking is possible.

Azkaban is in the vast ocean, and no one has ever escaped from it before.

As for the prisoners with long sentences, almost all of them have been sucked into a daze by the Dementors, and some have even gone crazy. They cannot be their helpers and will only be a drag.

Gal then suggested that Peter look for his former companions -

Everyone knows that there is a place in Azkaban where Death Eaters who are sentenced to life imprisonment are held. Those lunatics were crazy before they went to prison, and they have not completely lost their sanity even after being imprisoned for more than ten years.

Peter turned pale with fear and firmly rejected this crazy proposal.

The person he fears most now is not Voldemort or Dumbledore, but his former Death Eater companions.

Especially the most loyal ones... They knew that it was Peter who conveyed the message to Voldemort, and they also knew that their master disappeared after that.

In the eyes of some, Peter Pettigrew was responsible for the Dark Lord's disappearance.

Like Bellatrix...

If he let her out, Peter had no doubt that the crazy woman would first give him a dozen Cruciatus Cruciatus, or even kill him directly.

Only after finding the Dark Lord and under his protection, Peter dared to meet those crazy "colleagues".

He painted a big pie for Lockhart and Gar - as long as they helped the Dark Lord to make a comeback, not only would they no longer be criminals, but they would also be able to regain power, wealth and fame!

The Dark Lord is never stingy with his subordinates!

The three of them started to escape.

Both Peter and Gal can transform into animals, mice can easily hide, bats can fly, and Dementors can hardly "see" them.

Lockhart had no talent for Animagus, but his Oblivion Charm actually worked against Dementors.

The Dementors hit by the spell would forget what they were going to do and stand there blankly for a few minutes. In this way, the three of them escaped from the Jedi of the wizarding world without any danger.

It was not easy to swim back in the vast ocean. Fortunately, Gal could fly, and he quickly found a nearby fishing boat...

Unfortunately, their luck seemed to end here.

"What shall we do now that Peter is dead?" asked Lockhart.

The man who had promised to lead them to the Dark Lord was dead, and Lockhart immediately lost his direction and didn't know where to go.

"First, find a way to survive in Muggle society."

Gar thought for a while before saying with a bitter face: "The city is so big that it will be difficult for the Ministry of Magic to find us... But we can't use magic casually, and we may have to find a normal job..."

Lockhart missed his fans and his best-selling books deeply, but at this moment, he had no other choice but to do as Gal said.

The two of them wolfed down the fishermen's dinner and filled their stomachs.

"What about these fishermen? Throw them into the sea too?" asked Lockhart.

"No, if they stay, they can provide cover for us. You can use the Oblivion Spell to make them forget they have seen us." Gal said worriedly, "Otherwise, if the killer comes back..."

They both shuddered together, terrified.

After they made their decision, they went back into the cabin to hide, and sailed towards an unknown future with the old fishing boat.

Chapter 279 Neighbor Moody

In the early morning, the cool wind blew across the grass, and the sunlight shone through the sparse leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

There were four or five people in the originally deserted garden, and in front of them was a small stone tablet, surrounded by piles of nuts, melon seeds, corn, etc.

Ferdinand, dressed like a priest, said in a low voice:

"Today, we gather here to bid farewell to a little life that brought us so much peace and happiness in just two short years."

"And now, she has gone to another world, leaving us with everlasting memories."
