335 Battle, pursuit, broken appointment, questioning
In addition to some werewolves, three Death Eaters, and Professor Lear who barely managed to hook to the edge of the fishing net, the people taken away by the portkey also had Karan under the invisibility cloak!
The moment Bellatrix threw the door key, Kahlan was still trapped in a large group of werewolves and had no time to escape.
But he didn't expect that he could be teleported away just by the contact of the invisibility cloak. The original door key should have been able to do this after physical contact - could this be Voldemort's handiwork again?What does he want to do?
And what just happened, the Order of the Phoenix suddenly surrounded the Shrieking Shack, was this already part of Dumbledore's plan?But why hasn't he appeared yet?
After a period of earth-shaking feelings, Karan discovered that he was not out of touch with the invisibility cloak. This was really good news - no matter where they were teleported to, Karan didn't want to be discovered by anyone. He was afraid that he would appear inexplicably. In the old house of the Gaunt family, or Voldemort's lair!
After finally landing, Karan found that the surroundings suddenly turned from bright to pitch black. This made it impossible for him to see any of the surrounding environment clearly, but he could feel that the fishing net above his head was suddenly taken away, and then the sound of the name rang out. The male Death Eater yelled.
"Are you crazy, Bella? This is just a backup plan! Now we're stuck with these damn werewolves! They were supposed to help us rear as a last resort!"
Bellatrix fired back angrily: "Shut up! Rodolphus! Don't you understand yet? We were deceived by these stupid werewolves! This is a trap! Now, let us find the master quickly Ask for something, and get out of here before you get bitten to death!”
Callan finally knew who the male Death Eater was - Rodolphus Lestrange. He was Bellatrix's husband. He didn't expect that he would meet Dolohov and Bellatrix. Ricks took part in the attack.
But what does it mean to be bitten to death?It's still some time before the full moon...
Just when Karan was trying to get out of the werewolf circle in the dark, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the right front.
"You're not going anywhere - you're all petrified!"
A spell suddenly shot out, illuminating the face of the caster—Professor Lear—in the darkness.
But along the path of the curse, Karan saw more strange things - the werewolves who had always been silent all raised their heads, their bodies were gradually deforming, and they let out dull roars from time to time, and then the noise became louder and louder. , it almost spreads throughout the entire space where they are!
"Damn!"
Bellatrix deftly avoided Professor Lear's spell. She cast a resuscitation spell on the unconscious Dolohov, and then shouted at him who had just woken up: "Go! Attack Hogwart." Ci’s plan has failed! Go and complete the master’s mission first!”
Dolokhov suddenly woke up. He looked back at the dozens of werewolves who were transforming, and then immediately rushed towards the two Death Eaters in front of him in panic!
Professor Lear is no exception - no matter how slow he is, he at least understands that he cannot stay here any longer. The werewolves' favorite prey is humans!
"Don't run!"
He shouted while shooting spells into the darkness, seemingly not afraid that this would attract a large number of werewolves. He even wanted to die with the three Death Eaters and thwart their plans no matter what!
"This idiot!" Bellatrix cursed in a low voice. She randomly blocked Professor Lear's attack, and at the same time called two other accomplices to fight back together!
"Petrify them all!" While Professor Lear was avoiding in a panic, Rodolphus took the opportunity to shoot a petrification spell!
Professor Lear was hit!
His body suddenly became upright, and he fell to the ground as hard as a stone, with only his eyes still able to move.
The roars of the werewolves from behind became louder and louder. The three people in front were not in a hurry to kill Professor Lear. Rodolphus said with a ferocious smile: "Those werewolves will entertain you well for us!"
The three of them quickly disappeared into the darkness ahead. Professor Lear was heartbroken and his eyes widened unwillingly, but all he heard was the sound of approaching footsteps.
[At least Principal Dumbledore will protect Remus...]
There was only one last thought left in his mind, and he gradually came to terms with his imminent death.
It was he who caused the tragedy that happened to Remus, and now, his unfit father will pay the price with his life.
Footsteps came to his side, and Professor Lear was covered by a piece of cloth that looked like flowing water.
Karan leaned over and met Professor Lear's gaze.
With the flash of a spell, Professor Leer's petrified state was lifted.
"Now is not the time to rest, professor." Karan stretched out his hand to pull up the confused Professor Lear: "You will live for a long time, until everything settles."
Today should not be the day for Professor Lear's death. He at least lived until the end of the First Wizarding War.
"Is this... an invisibility cloak?" Professor Lear recognized what was draped over their heads. He did not tear it off, but asked as he continued the chase: "How did you appear?" it's here?"
"I also want to know the answer, professor." Karan frowned and glanced back. He could vaguely see several figures chasing the two of them in the darkness.
"I didn't expect that the mysterious man actually managed to trigger the werewolf's curse in advance. That is the secret that exists in nothingness and everything... and that incredible door key - transferring items? Why did the mysterious man do this?"
Professor Lear couldn't help but look at Karan a few more times, but he saw a glass bottle and a small brush floating out of Karan's pocket, and then the two items were automatically collected while the two were running. Powder stained on Professor Lear's clothes.
"The value of these powders must be very high." Karan said calmly: "You don't mind me doing this, professor?"
"If it doesn't affect you...of course it's no problem." Professor Lear could not care about such a thing, but he soon noticed that no one had used the invisibility cloak on their heads. Support, plus these two little things that collect powder on themselves...
"You can actually do wandless magic?" Professor Lear asked in surprise: "Then why didn't you show it in the exam? I will definitely give you a full score!"
"Um..." Karan glanced at Professor Leer with a strange expression. He did not expect that the other party would be so competent: "Let's wait until we can escape alive, Professor."
Professor Lear also noticed his gaffe, and his expression immediately became serious again: "You are right, but if necessary, you should hide first and find a way to avoid the werewolf's pursuit, just be quiet If you hide it under the invisibility cloak, the werewolves behind you may not find you immediately. The space here is large enough, and the werewolves' noses are not that sharp."
Professor Lear inadvertently revealed his experience in dealing with werewolves. He pursed his lips and continued: "At least this shouldn't involve you, the student."
As for the strange thing that happened to Karan that he saw in the Shrieking Shack, that is not what Professor Lear should be concerned about at this moment.
He had already caused a tragedy that happened to Remus, and at least he didn't want it to happen a second time.
"Then I'm afraid your plan will come to nothing, Professor." After Karan carefully looked at the surrounding walls again, he said with an ugly face: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to escape safely from here - I have already discovered that this place What exactly is this place—the secret room, Professor."
"This is Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, and it's also where I almost died in the first half of the semester."
Karan discovered this when he was chasing Professor Lear - this was really bad news. The entrance to the secret room had long been blocked. Although Karan knew the earth-melting spell, he could now Without a flying broomstick, he would definitely be suffocated to death in the dirt while escaping back to the ground.
Dozens of werewolves were chasing them again, and Karan was not sure how long this transformation would last under the influence of the powder - maybe more than a whole night?
Then there's the plan Bellatrix said - what plans does the mysterious man have in the secret room?Could it be that Karan and Gaspard missed something?Or...is it related to the mysterious school trainer?
Karanco still remembered that there was a warning left by the school motto in the statue of Slytherin - don't disturb the sleeping dragon.
While Karan became more and more silent, Professor Leer stared at this familiar yet unfamiliar student with complex eyes.
"It seems that the previous rumors are not false." He said: "You really killed a large group of basilisks and successfully escaped from the mysterious man."
Karan raised his head and looked at Professor Leer, then silently looked away.
"Yes, Professor."
This time, Karan did not deny all the credit.Today's predicament is not much safer than when facing Voldemort - he is not yet capable of dealing with dozens of transformed werewolves at once.
He needed Professor Lear to stop looking down on him, lest he really caused trouble and it was too late to regret it.
"Then...Okay!" After hearing that there was no way out, Professor Lear felt that it would be safer to be with Karan than to leave him alone. He seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Don't rush out for a while. Be careful to dodge at any time. If you have the energy to spare... then take the opportunity to attack the three Death Eaters."
At a one-on-three disadvantage, Professor Lear had no choice but to make such a choice - especially after he witnessed Karan knocking down the three people in the screaming shack, although he still didn't understand Karan until now. How exactly is it done?
"No problem, Professor."
Karan agreed, but in his heart he was carefully thinking about the running route - he had been to the Chamber of Secrets more than once, and of course he knew where the three Death Eaters would go - it must be the final hall of the Chamber of Secrets, and where Deng Xiaoping went. The place where Bullide and Voldemort once fought!
The message from the school motivator is inside the statue!
Under the gaze of Professor Leer, Karan refilled the bottle in which the powder had been collected, and then he took out a gold coin from his pocket.
The writing on the gold coin gradually changed and became hot little by little, but in the next second all the writing melted away.
Professor Lear noticed that Karan's face became more and more ugly.
"Sure enough, it's still like this." Karan frowned and put away the gold coins. He had tried this method when he found out that this was a secret room, but the magic gold coins suddenly failed - just like the last time he contacted Mei who disappeared. Same as Doss.
[Is it because of these mysterious powders? 】
Karan stared at the darkness around him. With the Death Eaters running in front and the werewolves chasing behind him, all the powder had long since dissipated in the air. No matter how powerful Karan was, he could not use the same powerful descaling spell— —The scope is simply too large.
"I can only fight alone." Karan's heart gradually became anxious. Although Professor Lear didn't understand what happened, he could also see that Karan, this mysterious student, had lost all his means.
"Principal Dumbledore's assessment of you is indeed right." Professor Lear said suddenly.
"Evaluation?" Karan raised his head and asked, "Has the principal evaluated me? What did he say about me?"
Professor Lear shook his head: "He didn't say your name directly - until now I was sure that the person the principal was talking about was you. That was what happened when I was invited to work at Hogwarts."
"[Never give up hope, even if we are incompetent, someone will appear who can correct our mistakes, and this person may even be an inconspicuous student.]"
Karan raised his eyebrows, was he referring to the Acromantula?
There was no emotion in his heart, he just nodded silently.
At this time, perhaps because the human figure could not be seen within the line of sight, the werewolves chasing behind had slowed down a lot, but the two people under the invisibility cloak did not slow down because of this. They had already vaguely seen the front. The three figures - the Death Eaters were turning their heads to look around, as if they were trying to figure out the direction or looking for something.
Now that he has the invisibility cloak, Professor Lear will naturally not do anything reckless and proactively expose his identity, but the expression on his face seems to be on the verge of anger.
"Professor." In order to avoid attracting the werewolves again, Karan quickly and quietly stopped Professor Lear's actions: "Where is Principal Bado? Why didn't he come?"
"He is..." Professor Lear was stunned. Only then did he realize that Principal Dumbledore did not appear near the Shrieking Shack - but even if he brought Remus back to Godric The valley doesn’t need to take so long either…
On the other side, in the old house in Godric's Hollow, Remus has been locked in a sealed bedroom because the full moon is approaching. This will be the place where he will transform tonight.
But tonight he was no longer as afraid of the full moon, because he felt a more terrifying presence when he first arrived at the house.
In the corridor, Dumbledore cast a soundproofing spell on the wizard where Remus was, and then he found Aberforth with a heavy face.
"Tonight..." Aberforth's whole body was shaking uncontrollably. Dumbledore said nothing. He and Aberforth walked to the door of the other bedroom together.
The door opened.
The delicate goat doll was torn into pieces, and all the items were scattered upside down. Everything no longer looked like the cozy bedroom it once was.
A gathering black mist appeared inexplicably in the center of the bedroom, and the face of Ariana in pain was constantly revealed inside.
"Percival!"
Dumbledore roared like a lion, and the phoenix on the only safe perch immediately flew to his side, his eyes showing sadness.
"I need your help again." Dumbledore whispered: "Save Ariana, save the stupid mistake I made."
Then, under Aberforth's helpless gaze, Dumbledore walked alone into the bedroom that was being destroyed.
The door slowly closed, and Dumbledore finally said: "I would rather this price only happen to me."
"Sorry, Ariana, sorry..."
========
At the same time, Karan in the secret room noticed something strange about Professor Lear - he suddenly realized that Dumbledore did not strictly implement the plan. The principal should have appeared together, but was held back by unknown reasons!
【Ariana! 】
Callan suddenly thought of another thing - even on the night when Voldemort returned to Hogwarts to apply for a job, Principal Dumbledore did not show up on time. The only possible reason was Ariana!
Could it be that the Obscurus in her body broke out again?But what method will the principal use to save Ariana?Is the wisdom conferred by the crown enough to do this?
"and many more."
Professor Lear's shout suddenly brought Karan back to his senses. They had arrived at the front hall of the final hall unknowingly, but the three Death Eaters did not continue walking inside, but stopped together. .
"Oops..." Bellatrix suddenly said in despair: "How could this happen? What the master told me is not here? Why?"
"Could it be..." Before Rodolphus could finish speaking, Bellatrix interrupted him angrily: "Shut up! You loser! Master can never make a mistake! He even prepared this special door key for us in advance! Just so we can move our things!"
"It's you!"
She suddenly pointed the finger at Dolokhov: "I knew there was something wrong with you!"
Dolokhov retorted angrily: "Problem? What problem can I have?"
"You still dare to quibble!" Bellatrix had already raised her wand, her face twisted with anger: "If it weren't for you, how could we have fallen into the werewolf's trap? We had always been there before. It was you who contacted them secretly. And when we first arrived at the Shrieking Shack, how could you be knocked down so easily? Do you think we are fools?!"
"It's you! You are the spy arranged by the Order of the Phoenix. You secretly told Dumbledore everything so that they could set up an ambush around him in advance!"
At this time, not only Bellatrix, but also Rodolphus raised his wand angrily.
"Say it quickly!" he asked angrily.
"Where did you hide the basilisk's shed skin!"
