"...Jupiter is our main learning object this semester. In addition to studying the planet itself, we will also learn about its satellites. At that time, I will ask each of you to draw the astrology of Jupiter.
Picture, so during class, I hope you won’t give me half-hearted attention.”
When Flitwick was explaining to them the learning goals for this semester and reminding them to concentrate, Jon's mind was actually no longer in the classroom.
He was still thinking about the ring that inexplicably appeared on his body in Slughorn's office at noon.
The ring was still on his body, or Jon couldn't get rid of it at all. As long as it was more than three meters away from him, it would automatically appear on the index finger of his right hand.
Jon didn't put the ring on his hand. Not to mention whether it was dangerous or not, an 11-year-old boy put a ring on his index finger to court love (a ring on the index finger means he is single and willing to associate with the opposite sex).
, which itself is very strange.
Although Slughorn gave him a guarantee that there was no danger, this did not completely reassure Jon. Judging from the performance of the fat old man in the original work, he was indeed a very principled person, but this
All he could do was ask Jon to give him one day.
If the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor does not give him an acceptable answer by tomorrow, Jon will not hesitate at all and will go directly to Dumbledore with the ring.
Maybe Dumbledore would plot against him, but he would never push him into a pit of fire.
The carriage had left the town and came to a quiet country road. Jon gathered his thoughts. Just when he was about to focus on the class, he suddenly noticed the bright starry sky out of the corner of his eye.
A few black shadows quietly passed by.
He didn't pay much attention at first, just thinking they were a few owls hunting at night, but he soon realized it.
There's no way an owl could be that big!
Jon clearly realized something was wrong. He stood up and interrupted Flivy's class hastily.
"Professor! Look at the sky!"
Everyone on the roof of the car followed his words and looked up to the sky. Under the clear night sky, they could clearly see a dozen figures in black robes riding on broomsticks, always staying on the carriage.
flying above!
Compared with the confusion on the students' faces at the beginning, Flitwick's face was frighteningly white at this time!
"Go back! Get back in the carriage! Quick!"
While shouting at Jon and the others, he raised the wand with his only remaining left hand without hesitation!
“The alarm bell is ringing!”
An extremely harsh scream sounded out, like a legendary harpy.
Jon was the first to react to Flivy's words. He directly grabbed the arms of Ron and Justin, who were still in a daze with their mouths open, and dragged them towards the entrance of the stairs!
Neville was only a second slower than Jon in reacting, and he also grabbed Lavender's arm and followed him.
The people in black robes riding broomsticks in the sky also discovered what was going on under the carriage. They no longer kept track horizontally, but pressed down the handles of their broomsticks together and dived towards the carriage!
Flitwick did not return to the carriage with Jon and the others. After giving the warning, he used a flying spell without any hesitation.
"Here comes the broomstick!"
A sound of breaking through the air sounded at the rear of the carriage, and then a somewhat broken broomstick hovered in front of him.
Flitwick rode on the broom. Because he was missing one arm and had to hold the wand with his other hand, he could only press his entire front body on the broom handle, and at the same time, he used magic to help him sit firmly on the broom.
The broken broom carried the one-armed wizard duel champion into the sky.
"Protect the Thestrals! Hagrid!"
Hagrid, who had already been awakened by the alarm bell, pulled out a slightly longer wand from the little red umbrella and warned Flitwick loudly while steadying the frightened Thestrals.
"be careful!"
When Jon and the other five returned to the car in a panic, the long corridor was already lit up with bright lights.
The door to everyone's dormitory was opened, and many students stuck their heads out wondering what was going on, but there were also experienced students in their sixth or seventh year who hurried out in their pajamas.
"All students, gather in the dining hall! All students!"
The seventh-grade student president was shouting and began to gather students to the restaurant, including Jon and the other five who had just gotten off the roof of the car.
The professors in the car had gathered in front of the foyer as soon as Flitwick gave the warning. Everyone except Dumbledore held a broomstick in their hands.
"Kings, are they over there in the square tonight?" Dumbledore asked in a deep voice.
"No, they are currently in Finland, dealing with the matters you gave them before. There are only Molly and Tonks over there in the square."
It was Lily who answered him. Her face was calm, but her hand holding the wand was trembling slightly, revealing her true emotions.
It wasn't fear or fear, it was more like an unforgettable hatred and impatience.
Mag's face was gloomy.
"Why, they can find..."
"Now is not the time to talk about this, Minerva."
Dumbledore interrupted McGonagall, took out his wand and led the way out of the carriage.
"Horace stays in the carriage and watches the students, Hagrid protects the Thestrals, and I will take you to help Filius."
He completed all the arrangements with just one simple sentence, and the three people who heard the order carried it out without hesitation.
Slughorn ran towards the restaurant where the students were, while McGonagall and Lily got on their broomsticks at the same time and rushed out of the hall!
Hagrid, who was in the driver's seat of the carriage, was holding the reins tightly!
"John! Randy! Ort! Don't mess up! Learn from Smith and the others! Calm down! Speed up and run forward! Run!"
Under Hagrid's comfort, the Thestrals gradually recovered from the initial fright. They began to move their hooves at a faster frequency. The broad, bat-like wings that were originally folded on their backs began to slow down.
Unfold slowly!
The speed of the carriage increased countless times in an instant, and it was galloping forward in the fields in the dark night!
In the carriage, after the student president and the two male and female prefects counted the number of people for the third time, Slughorn opened the door and walked in.
Most of the students' faces were filled with fear and uneasiness. They looked at the only professor in the carriage, and Slughorn just said a word of comfort, which made the panic on almost everyone's faces dissipate.
