Chapter 102 – Death Will (End of Volume III)
"How long until we reach shore?"
"Soon."
"You said that an hour ago."
"Still soon."
It seemed like Victor was not in the mood to talk with the nervous Lockhart, who was pacing up and down on the control deck.
"We get there soon. I need to be careful to not be spotted. You disturb me, please, quiet."
"Sorry..."
It wasn't just Lockhart who was nervous and finding it hard to sit still; the rest of the students were, too. They were still within the British Isles, heading east, slowly and meticulously, to avoid being discovered. If all ran well, they would soon reach the shores of Scotland, where they would resurface, and the students could disembark.
It was never in the plan to bring them away as most students would not face any repercussions for fleeing the battle, and in the chaos, nobody would fault them for escaping, not after Lord Voldemort's death. The only ones they would be looking for are probably Krum, Lockhart, and the last persons bearing the Anguine name.
"You stay?" Krum asked suddenly, surprising the ex-Professor.
"I will come until we reach the mainland. I have some friends in Germany who can help me."
