There was a sound that was very soft and difficult to attract anyone's attention, but Jon, whose left ear was always pressed against the floor through the sleeping bag, couldn't help but tense up.
He knew what he had been waiting for was coming!
The sound of subtle footsteps came from far away. The people walking on the corridor seemed to be very careful in their movements, not daring to move too fast, but just moving forward step by step.
Soon, the sound reached Jon's ears. He held his breath and saw a pair of shabby little leather boots through the gap under the wooden door!
Those boots are not very big, obviously not suitable for adults, but for the owner who wears these boots, they look very suitable, just like... just like the owner of the feet.
Jon and they are about the same age!
Jon was stunned at first, but he didn't have time to think about it so much. He quickly got out of the sleeping bag and did not risk opening the door. Instead, he directly found Mag who was keeping vigil in the center of the restaurant.
"There's someone outside, Professor!"
Mag's face had never been so serious. She did not express any doubts about Jon's words, but immediately stood up and walked quickly to the restaurant door and opened it!
The moment she looked towards the corridor, a door was gently closed.
Mag pulled out her wand. Without looking back, she slowly closed the restaurant door with her hand behind her back.
The light on the corridor was not very bright, but it was enough to let her know clearly that there was someone here just now!
When she reached the location where the figure disappeared, the doors here were all close together. Mag wasn't sure which room the person had hidden in, so she didn't just go in and search blindly.
Now that Slughorn is injured, not to mention Filch's combat prowess, Hagrid must keep an eye on the carriage in this situation. She is the only protective force in the carriage. If a fight breaks out in the carriage, she will
It is impossible to put more effort into ensuring the safety of students.
Without any hesitation, McGonagall quickly walked to the end of the corridor in front of Dumbledore's office door. The door was not locked. She opened the door directly. There was no one inside, except for a phoenix with colorful feathers standing in the golden room.
The branches stared at Mag who opened the door.
"Fox, you need to go to the square and ask Moody and Kings to come and they will bring people over immediately!"
Fox tilted the bird's head, and then it spread out its crimson wings, a golden light shrouded its whole body, and then it disappeared into the office.
The carriage was cast with the same anti-Apparition magic as Hogwarts Castle. The wizard had no way to teleport directly into the carriage and had to use the power of the phoenix.
While waiting, Mag always stood in the corridor, making sure that no one came out of any room.
She didn't have to wait long. The same golden light as when Fox left illuminated the entire corridor. The red bird landed with seven or eight people. Among them were old wizards with disabled bodies, as well as young and beautiful fashionable ones.
Witches and dark-skinned wizards with steady eyes, etc.
"What's going on, McGonagall?"
Moody's magical prosthetic eye was spinning non-stop, and as soon as he arrived at the carriage, he began to conduct reconnaissance of the surrounding area.
Mag took a deep breath and quickly explained the current situation.
"We encountered Death Eaters, and Dumbledore and the others were stopping them. Slughorn was seriously injured and was lying in the infirmary, but now someone came in on the carriage who shouldn't have come. I want to watch the students,
I don’t have any extra energy to conduct another search, so I need your help!”
Moody calmly took out his wand, and the seven wizards and witches who came from the square beside him also raised their wands in front of him.
"Of course. The last time something happened, we were unable to come over because we were busy in Finland with what Dumbledore told us. We will definitely not miss anything this time."
"I haven't been back for a long time. I really miss this place." The fashionable witch with curly hair like pink bubble gum took a deep breath of the air in the carriage with a look of enjoyment on her face.
The dark-skinned wizard with gold earrings reminded her next to her.
"Don't treat this as a homecoming visit. You've already been through some things, Tonks. Stay alert and alert."
"Of course I know, but it's a pity that Bill and the others are still in Finland and haven't come back, otherwise they would definitely come over together."
Moody, the leader, glared at them with his original eye.
"Disperse! Stop talking about these gossips and check all the rooms in the carriage immediately!"
The wizards of the Order of the Phoenix skillfully began to separate in groups of two, starting from the several rooms that Mag pointed out to them, and carefully inspected them.
Mag returned to the restaurant. Most of the students had already fallen asleep. They were not disturbed by the unexpected situation on the carriage. Jon was still thinking about the pair of boots he had just seen through the crack in the door.
Mag did not wake up the other little wizards. When she came back, she took Jon alone to an unoccupied corner of the restaurant and said in a solemn tone.
"Green, tell me everything you saw."
Without hesitation or hesitation, Jon told what he saw and all the speculations he had just thought of.
"I saw someone walking through the crack of the door, Professor. He didn't look like an adult wizard. The boots he wore were small and ragged, unless he was the same figure as Professor Flitwick."
Mag frowned and looked at the shoes on Jon's feet.
"Are those boots as big as the shoes you're wearing?"
Jon shook his head and said.
"They are similar to my shoes, but they look a little smaller."
His words made Mag immediately confirm the number of first and second graders in the restaurant. After counting and there was no shortage of personnel, she fell into deep thought for a while, and Jon reminded her softly next to her.
"Professor, I think it is unlikely that that person is a young wizard, and in the magical world, people with such a body shape are not necessarily wizards."
Mag turned his head suddenly and stared at Jon.
"Say what's on your mind, Green."
"When I was reading in the library, I learned that there had been a rebellion of humanoid magical creatures in the magical world before, Professor." Jon said calmly, "The book said that about the rebellion of goblins, they were generally thin and thin, and they could also use
A set of magic that is different from that of wizards. As well as house elves, these creatures have always been the servants of pure-blood wizards. They are loyal to their masters and can also do magic. More importantly, their bodies are the same as those of goblins.
