Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 153 A Grand Finale
At around 5 a.m., all the students, teachers, staff, and Ministry of Magic investigators at Hogwarts were fast asleep.

Suddenly, a loud, clear whistling sound pulled everyone back to reality from their dreams.

Outside Hogwarts Castle, flames raged, and one after another, giants engulfed in flames stood motionless, raising their flaming greatswords and hacking at the protective barrier surrounding the castle.

This was the cheapest extras Tyella could find. It took Tyella several hours to gather enough flames, and then she used the life power of the "parasites" to create five Balrogs outside Hogwarts and commanded them to wield greatswords and cut through the outermost protective shield of Hogwarts.

Since these were just Balrogs born from ordinary flames, the flaming swords had no effect on Hogwarts' protective shield, only adding a few sparks.

The visual effects were superb; the ferocious Balrog terrified almost all the young wizards, and even many Ministry of Magic officials rolled off their beds, pillows and all, and hid underneath.

After everyone had been awakened, a hoarse, malevolent voice pierced the sky—

"Damn it! Gilderoy Lockhart! How dare you harm my pet!" A pale, bald, tall figure stood atop the head of a large, green snake—

Tiera used the power of the "parasite" to give Dobby a new image:
Dobbitt skin - Voldemort Limited Edition.

Voldemort, who made a cameo appearance as Dobby, waved the branch in his hand—

The rituals to summon Yog-Sothoth and Shub-Niggurath destroyed Tiera's three wands: one belonging to Gilderoy Lockhart, one to Lucius Malfoy, and one to Merlin.

So Tiera had no choice but to let Dobby pick up a random twig to make do.

Anyway, it's just acting.

Dobby waved the branch, and a beam of emerald green light shot out from the branch tip.

"In that case, I'll have to start with you before I kill Harry and Dumbledore—" Dobby roared madly.

"No one will die, Voldemort!"

"Giddy Lohart," or rather, Tyella roared back, "your ambitions end with me! I will protect Harry, Dumbledore, and Hogwarts!"

Their conversation was like a loudspeaker being turned on; it could be heard in every corner of Hogwarts Castle.

Tyrell's shout of "Voldemort!" was like water being poured into a boiling oil pan; the entire Hogwarts erupted into chaos, with teachers yelling and struggling to maintain order.

But the students pushed and shoved, screaming and dodging everywhere, running around like headless flies.

The Ministry of Magic officials hurriedly dressed and packed their belongings; some continued to hide under the beds, while others tried to escape from Hogwarts in the chaos.

Only a very small number of Aurors drew their wands and came to the main gate—

“Listen to this, listen to this, Fawkes.” In the headmaster’s office on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, Dumbledore sat up from the bed with a helpless expression, picked up a lemon Olaf from the bedside table and popped it into his mouth.

"Listen to that, he actually said he would protect me." Dumbledore put on a pair of star-patterned wool socks, then got out of bed in his slippers, walked slowly to the window, and looked out at the heated fighting scene at the castle gate.

“Look at Fawkes, what a troublemaker our little genius is,” Dumbledore sighed. “He woke up this old man over a hundred years old in the middle of the night. If I had known he had such crazy ideas in his little head, I should have strangled him in the Mirror of Erised—”

“Ah—, ahhh—!” Fox exclaimed.

“I know, I know,” Dumbledore muttered. “I know I couldn’t possibly kill someone, but things have come to this point, can’t you just let me have a moment of peace and quiet?”

“Ah—” Fox said.

Meanwhile, the battle at the gates of Hogwarts had reached a fever pitch.

The enormous basilisk had already "crashed to the ground" under a powerful spell from "Gidro Lockhart," and the enraged "Voldemort" brandished his "wand" and personally engaged "Gidro Lockhart" in a fierce battle.

Spells flew, light shone everywhere; Voldemort made his move, Gilderoy Lockhart countered, their magical movements dazzling and breathtaking—

Not to mention interfering.

The Auror inside the Hogwarts shield had already drawn his wand, but found himself unable to intervene, so he could only stand there dumbfounded, watching the battle between Gilderoy Lockhart and Tom Riddle.

Tiera practically rummaged through all the special effects she had seen in her past life and then had the "Inheritor" use the Dispersion Charm to bring them to life.

Common spells include Polymorph, Fiendfyre, and various colorful beams of light that clashed between Gilderoy Lockhart and Voldemort.

Tierra, seeing that the performance was almost over, gestured for Dobby to bring the finale to a close—Dobby nodded, indicating that he had received Tierra's instruction.

Voldemort thrust his wand forward—

A thick, thunderous beam of light struck Gilderoy Lockhart—

However, the beam of lightning stopped a few inches in front of "Gidro Lockhart," as if it were blocked by something.

"Gidrolockhart" seemed to be enduring immense pain; the muscles in his face were trembling—

Gilderoy Lockhart held the wand horizontally in his palm, and the wand instantly burned to ashes, leaving an intricate pattern on Gilderoy Lockhart's hand.

The space in front of "Gidro Lockhart" took on a jewel-like, angular shape. "Gidro Lockhart" raised his hands and pushed forward—

The space prism, crackling with purple lightning, slammed back the way it came.

Voldemort simply flicked his wand, and all the lightning and spatial prisms converged at the tip of his wand, forming a black hole the size of a broad bean.

Voldemort flicked his wrist, and the black hole rushed towards Gilderoy Lockhart, growing larger and larger as it went, just as it was about to suck Gilderoy Lockhart in—

Gilderoy Lockhart pointed his hands together, and an orange-yellow magic circle with a flickering flame appeared between his palms—

Gilderoy Lohart tossed the magic circle forward, transforming it into a giant magic circle twice the height of two people.

The magic circle and the black hole collided—

The black hole transformed into countless fluttering cyan-gold butterflies.

The butterflies swarmed towards Voldemort, briefly obscuring his vision—

When Voldemort finally waved his wand and chased the butterflies away from his sight—

Standing opposite, "Gidrolockhart" was already floating in mid-air, his hands forming a white crane spreading its wings—

Countless arms appeared like double images behind Gilderoy Lockhart—

Then one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things, and one "Giddy Lohart" splits into countless "Giddy Loharts" that surround "Voldemort".

Each Gilderoy Lohart flung a crimson rope from his palm.

The ropes tightly bound Voldemort in the center, like a cicada pupa.

Countless "Gidrolockharts," along with their ropes, transformed into golden flames. Soon, the flames connected, creating a firestorm—

The firestorm intensified, evolving into a colossal tower of fire reaching the heavens—

When the Tower of Flames was just taking shape, a figure appeared—

"Gidrolockhart" was thrown out, rolling several times on the ground while still smoking—

Only then did the Aurors dare to open the doors of Hogwarts and hurriedly help Gilderoy Lockhart to his feet.

"Quick, let's go!"

"Gidrolockhart" said, feigning weakness.

However, before he could finish speaking, the tower of fire behind them suddenly exploded, sending Gilderoy Lockhart and the Aurors who came to help him tumbling into the gates of Hogwarts.

The flames blasted a large crater in place, and then a wisp of black smoke rose from the bottom of the crater—

"I will definitely come back—" the black smoke roared hoarsely, its face a grotesque mix of human and snake.

"Oh, how wonderful!" Dumbledore said expressionlessly, picking up his teacup and taking a sip.
