The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 540 Dangerous situation

In the Memory Hall, looking at the grinning figures surrounding him, Harry felt his body become cold from the inside out.

He felt that he no longer needed to ask anything.

The appearance of Lucius Malfoy, a former Death Eater, and these black-robed wizards who are not good at first sight, is enough to explain everything.

Link was right to be concerned.

They were all deceived by Voldemort!

"Give it to me, Potter!"

Perhaps because he had not received a reply for a long time, Lucius spoke in a long tone again.

Harry still didn't answer. He just looked at George, Fred, Aberforth and others who were standing in front of him with apologetic eyes.

If it weren't for his willfulness, if it weren't for his impulsiveness, these people would never have followed him into the trap!

George obviously noticed Harry's gaze.

He tilted his head slightly, winked at Harry, and pretended to be relaxed:

"Hey, Harry, it looks like there's an ambush among us."

Fred also joined in the fun and said:

"But this is good news. After all, if this is just a trap, then our parents should still be safe. That's enough!"

As he spoke, Fred slapped Ron on the head, gesturing for him to say a few words as well.

Ron, who was beaten, scratched his head and said:

"Harry, you don't need to take it too seriously. Anyway, our parents gave birth to more children. Even if a few of us are gone, they still have brother Charlie, sister Ginny and Percy. They will still..."

Before Ron could finish speaking, George slapped him on the head again.

After the fight, he smiled apologetically at Harry.

Because of Ron's depressing words just now, the guilt on Harry's face became even stronger!

"Tsk tsk tsk! It's really sincere!"

At this moment, a thin, somewhat nervous female voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone subconsciously heard the sound and saw a woman covered in hazy black stockings, with extremely rich makeup on her face, and her hair tied up high with a large number of hair accessories. She crossed Lucius and slowly walked towards them. Come slowly.

Link had also seen this woman in his dream.

Bellatrix!

Sirius's cousin and one of Voldemort's most loyal Death Eaters!

There seemed to be a powerful aura lingering around her.

The feeling of this aura is hard to describe.

It smells of extreme madness, but also contains strong pressure.

The result was that as soon as she appeared, Lucius, who had been extremely arrogant and had taken the lead in the ranks of nobles, became mute, and the menacing black-clad Death Eaters around him also lowered their heads one by one. .

Harry and the others clutched their wands tightly, watching Bellatrix slowly approach as if facing a formidable enemy.

Hermione looked at Bellatrix with a particularly angry look.

Because she also recognized the other party's identity, and it was this woman who tortured Neville's parents crazy and turned Neville into a submissive fat man.

There was a biological incompatibility between a woman who could do such a thing and Hermione.

So much so that as soon as Bellatrix appeared, Hermione felt a kind of disgust coming from deep inside!

"Let me say it one last time, give us the crystal ball in your hand, otherwise, I'm afraid you will just become corpses today."

Bellatrix said expressionlessly, and then pointed at Hermione, "In addition, the look in this child's eyes makes me feel very uncomfortable, so pluck out her eyes and give them to me, otherwise, You are still dead.”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Harry and others changed drastically.

The surrounding Death Eaters let out a series of jeers.

It was as if what Bellatrix had just said was just a funny joke.

Lucius Malfoy coughed and stood up as if he wanted to continue to smooth things over.

It's just that he is destined to not have this opportunity today.

Because Aberforth had already waved the wand in his hand.

'The flames are blazing! '

boom--

Large balls of fire roared out from the tip of the staff, fell into the ranks of the Death Eaters and exploded violently, turning into an almost endless sea of ​​crimson fire amid the screams of the Death Eaters.

Although this attack did not cause much damage to the Death Eaters due to the quick response of the Death Eaters, it still caused great commotion in the Death Eaters' ranks.

Taking advantage of this time, Aberforth grabbed the crystal ball in Harry's hand and said:

"They are here for the crystal ball, and killing or capturing you is only their secondary goal.

So next, I will hold them back with the crystal ball, and you guys should run towards the narrow door! "

It seems to be to prove the authenticity of Aberforth's words.

As he spoke, Aberforth directly raised the crystal ball and faced a death curse that Bellatrix fired at him angrily in the chaos.

The next moment, Bellatrix's expression changed drastically, and she pressed down her wand, directly interrupting the magic circuit and canceling the magic supply of the Death Curse.

Looking at the green light that gradually dissipated in front of Aberforth, Harry's eyes widened dully.

After studying at Hogwarts for so many years, he has a deeper understanding of the nature of magic.

Therefore, he knew very well that what Bellatrix had just done would cause irreversible damage to his body.

But even if she tried to hurt herself, Bellatrix still didn't want to take the slightest risk of hurting the crystal ball, which undoubtedly proved the importance of this crystal ball to them.

"What exactly is this crystal ball? Why does it have my name written on it?"

Harry said instinctively.

But upon hearing this, Aberforth just glanced at him and said nothing.

Harry wanted to say something more, but Ron beside him said first:

"Aberforth, we can't just abandon you like this! If this crystal ball is really so important, then we can use the crystal ball to threaten them all to retreat!"

"Yes, Aberforth. Haven't we tried the other narrow door before? There is a space restriction on it, and we can't get close at all."

George and Fred also said, "So I think we should stay here with you to fight these Death Eaters."

Once again using the crystal ball to threaten to disperse several spells directed at them, Aberforth brushed Ron's red hair with his hand and said:

"The Weasley children are pretty good. But your suggestions are not valid. After all, although the Death Eaters are a little crazy, they are not stupid. They will not be threatened so easily.

In addition, the space restriction on the narrow door is actually just an illusion created by the Death Eaters.

This is an oversight on my part, if I...

forget it. I'm done here.

Anyway, just run over there and I will help you clear the way. "

After Aberforth finished speaking, he flicked the wand in his other hand vigorously.

Immediately, a huge shock wave erupted with Aberforth as the center point. While repelling several black figures trying to get close to him, it also accurately launched Harry and the others towards the narrow door. go out!

George and Fred caught Harry and Hermione respectively in the air and landed deftly without any harm.

But Ron, who was blessed by everyone, was more unlucky.

He fell directly to the ground and scratched a long distance on the smooth floor of the Memory Hall.

He was about to get up and complain, but couldn't help but look back in Aberforth's direction.

At this time, Aberforth had already become the target of the Death Eaters.

The Death Eaters who had just extinguished the sea of ​​​​fire were throwing spells at him with all their strength. The dense gray-white spells almost connected together and pressed down on Aberforth.

The most important thing is that this time the Death Eaters learned their lesson.

In order to prevent Aberforth from using the crystal ball to block the knife again, they all used low-lethality control spells such as fainting.

This type of spell will not cause harm to the crystal ball, but it can make Aberforth lose his ability to resist.

Fortunately, this kind of spell is not very powerful.

Aberforth just cast a Strengthening Armor Protection Charm and blocked most of the spells.

Only a small part of the spell passed through the gap created by the transparent shield and accurately hit Aberforth's body.

Aberforth's body immediately stiffened.

But soon, another side of the strengthening armor protective spell was condensed to resist the next wave of attacks.

Looking at this scene, Ron felt his nose sore.

Because he knew very well that faced with the siege of so many Death Eaters, Aberforth's end was almost doomed.

Even though the Death Eaters were wary of the crystal ball at the moment, they still maintained a stalemate with Aberforth.

But Aberforth's magic power has its limits after all.

The control effect accumulated on him will eventually make him unable to even lift his arms.

At this moment, Ron suddenly felt an impulse in his heart.

An impulse belonging to Gryffindor!

He wanted to rush back to help Aberforth!

It doesn't matter even if you die without a burial place!

However, at this moment, George, Fred and others ran past him like the wind. As they passed by, George slapped Ron on the head again and said:

"You silly boy! Why don't you run away?"

This slap successfully knocked back Ron's ambition.

He gave the besieged Aberforth one last tearful look, and then quickly chased after his brothers.

There were actually not a few enemies standing in front of their group.

Many Death Eaters have their own little ideas.

Although their main target this time must be the crystal ball, Harry Potter obviously also has a huge attraction for their master, Voldemort.

If Harry Potter can be captured alive, there is no doubt that the reward they can receive will also be greatly improved.

As a result, many Death Eaters who were supposed to besiege Aberforth quietly approached Harry and others under the cover of the surrounding shelves.

Not only that, each of them is still very far apart, and some conflicts will even break out between them during the journey.

After all, in their opinion, subduing a group of students who have not graduated from Hogwarts is really a simple matter.

What they have to guard against is actually the companions around them who are trying to steal credit!

And this just gave Harry and others a chance of survival.

You must know that after being trained by Link personally, George and Fred actually already have the strength of quasi-Auror level in theory.

The strength of Harry's trio is also comparable to the outstanding graduates of Hogwarts.

Although they have not experienced too much actual combat, hard power is hard power!

Facing the Death Eaters scattered towards them, George, Harry and others, who were in a state of grief and anger, did not hesitate at all. As they waved their wands repeatedly, several scarlet beams of light hit the incoming criminal. A wave of Death Eaters were all knocked away.

This also bought them some time so that they could follow Aberforth's instructions and continue towards the narrow gate.

It's just that the previous problem is still unresolved.

No matter how fast they run, the narrow gate in the distance still maintains a fixed distance from them and they can't get close at all!

This made Hermione anxious and almost crying.

Because the second wave of Death Eaters quickly gathered.

And after learning the lessons from the previous wave, the Death Eaters who attacked this time completely adopted a triangular arrow tactical formation to attack them!

"what should I do now?"

Harry asked loudly to George and Fred, who were at the back of the team and were fending off the attack.

But George just shook his head and said:

"Keep running! That's what Aberforth said! We can only choose to believe him now!"

Harry gritted his teeth after hearing this and continued running towards the narrow door that was out of reach.

It wasn't that he didn't believe Aberforth.

It's just... can this illusion in front of me really be broken by just running?

Or does Aberforth have another way to crack it?

Harry was very confused about this.

However, just in the next moment, Aberforth gave Harry the answer he wanted!

"Calling God—Guard!"

Aberforth, who was surrounded by a group of Death Eaters, suddenly raised his wand high and let out a roar!

Powerful magic power continued to flow out of his body, forming a wave of air around him.

Under Aberforth's intentional guidance, these magic powers began to flow toward the wand, and were processed into dazzling white light, which exploded suddenly!

boom--

Harry and the others felt a sudden light behind them, followed by a huge explosion followed by endless white light.

Under this white light, the entire memory hall was as bright as day.

All the Death Eaters couldn't help but cover their heads and faces in pain.

The powerful positive energy contained in the white light of the patron saint curse stimulated their bodies, which had been infected by the cursed magic for a long time, to have a backlash effect.

Although this kind of backlash is very slight, it is far less than the legendary dark wizards who died of maggots growing all over their bodies because of forcibly casting the Patronus Charm.

But the huge pain caused by this backlash still caused them to temporarily lose their ability to move.

On the other hand, Harry and the others felt their bodies warm under the white light.

A series of negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, and sadness that originally lingered in their hearts were all swept away.

Not only that, under the illumination of the Patronus Charm, the road in front of them suddenly filled with thick black smoke.

The black smoke gradually dissipated along with painful and evil screams.

Harry felt his eyes blurred as the narrow door that was nearly a hundred meters away from them suddenly pulled closer and appeared ten meters away from them.

"The illusion is broken! Let's go!"

George's sharp shout woke everyone up from the shock, and they began to rush towards the narrow door with all their strength.

But at this moment, a green light with a strong ominous aura suddenly shot out from behind a shelf beside Harry and others, and shot towards Hermione silently!
