Although Neville and the others who were playing mahjong didn't feel it in the bright lounge, Jon, who was a little restless after entering the break, always turned his eyes to the window frequently.
"It's time for you to draw the cards, Jon, what's wrong with you?" Lavender looked at him with a worried look, "Is it true that practicing spells is too hard? I see that you can't concentrate."
Jon didn't speak, and even when Lavender spoke, he didn't make any move to grab the cards, and kept staring out the window.
"Even if it's going to rain, can it get so dark?"
His breathing became much heavier than before, and upon hearing his question, Neville and others also looked away from the card game and looked up at the dark sky outside the window.
The dark clouds seemed to completely cover the entire night sky, and no light could penetrate. Only the occasional lightning and thunder from the other side of the sky that they could not see could make the darkness disappear for a moment.
"It's probably going to rain heavily later."
Neville said softly.
And just as he finished speaking, the sky, like a black cloth, suddenly flickered with countless light spots!
Those light spots were all composed of red and green. At this moment, a sudden flash of lightning like a long snake illuminated the half of the sky they could see.
The dark clouds covering the night sky are not dark clouds at all, but hundreds of wizards wearing black robes and riding on broomsticks (note)!
Various dazzling spells flickered on the tips of their staffs, and the next second, just as Neville said, there was a heavy rain outside the carriage.
It's just that this heavy rain is made up of countless magic spells falling from the sky like rain!
"Boom!!!"
Under the belated thunder, the entire carriage shook violently with the loud noise. The swing was so large that it seemed to overturn the carriage directly to the ground!
Screams, shouts, and cries echoed in the lounge.
The students were all frightened by this sudden situation. Most of them were knocked to the ground. The chandelier on the ceiling was shaking constantly, and the carriage was completely in chaos.
When Jon saw the spells falling, he pulled Neville and the others to the ground without hesitation.
Outside the carriage, there were protective measures put in place by Dumbledore himself. The effects of most spells could be blocked, but the collision caused by the powerful impact could not be offset by protective magic.
There was a mess of footsteps in the corridor outside the lounge, and Magna's anxious voice could be heard faintly.
"Don't panic! Don't be chaotic! Everyone, go to the restaurant! Everyone, gather in the restaurant!"
The little wizard who heard her words quickly took action. Although this attack happened suddenly, he had already had the experience of the previous two times. At least now the students knew what they should do at the first moment.
Jon and the others helped each other stand up from the ground, and then ran out of the lounge together.
The carriage has been stabilized and has not been knocked over by the terrifying cursed rain. However, its forward speed has obviously accelerated countless times. Normally, you don't feel any bumps at all, but at this time, it felt like it was rolling on a stone.
Running wildly in the pile, Bian Qiaoen and the others would have been unable to move forward if they hadn't been holding on to the wall of the corridor.
All the students had gathered in the cafeteria, and the pale-faced student president was assisting Filch, who couldn't hide his fear, to count the number of people.
The professors gathered in front of Dumbledore's office as soon as the attack occurred, but Dumbledore pushed open the door leading to Hagrid's driver's seat.
He held the wand in his hand, as if he had just helped Hagrid stabilize the carriage and drive normally. The magic that originally blocked the strong wind in front of the carriage had been completely destroyed, and his gray hair and beard were flying wantonly on his face.
"This time is different from the previous two times, everyone." Dumbledore's voice was very calm, and this familiar tone slightly soothed the nervous hearts of the professors, "They almost came out in droves, Aurors, Death Eaters,...
We surrounded him."
Flitwick used his only left arm to hold the wand in front of him, and his calm voice sounded like he was teaching students in class not to pronounce the f in the spell into an s.
"Then we have to prepare to fight out now."
Lily had already waved her brand-new wand that had been maintained, and the old broomstick fell firmly into her hand.
McGonagall frowned. She was not as calm as Flitwick, nor did she have the strong desire to fight like Lily. Instead, she was concerned about the safety of the students in the carriage.
"We haven't found the infiltrator yet, Albus. If we all leave, who will protect the children?"
Dumbledore raised his arm, and Fawkes flew over lightly, looking up at the professors.
"Go to the square and ask Kings to come and they all come over."
A golden-red light flashed and Fox disappeared before their eyes.
After doing all this, the professors left the carriage. Slughorn, Lily, McGonagall, and Flitwick were stationed in the four directions of the speeding carriage, while Dumbledore was directly above the carriage.
He looked up at the black-haired wizard in black robes who was leading the Death Eaters and Aurors.
Not only did he see him, but Lily, who had just ascended to the sky, also saw him.
The next moment, a sharp roar filled with hatred and hatred resounded throughout the night sky.
"Severus Snape!!!"
Real rain started to fall.
There was a crash, as if someone opened a water valve in the sky and began to clean the mud in the world.
Lightning flashed across the night sky again, and the flash of light also illuminated Snape's pale and indifferent face.
Lily's figure was reflected in his empty eyes, and there was no other emotion in his eyes, as if he was seeing a stranger.
"Remember what the master told you." His voice was low but loud enough for every Death Eater and Auror present to hear clearly, "Now, let's get started."
The wizards in black robes began to lower their broomsticks and looked at the speeding carriage, swooping down like hunters targeting their prey!
Heavy rain poured down, and various spells shuttled through the rain curtain, shooting towards the four people guarding the carriage!
No one targeted Lily. It was as if everyone had a tacit understanding and deliberately left her to Snape, who was still enveloped in a black mist and floating in the sky.
After Lily saw Snape, there was no one else in her eyes. Without hesitation, she raised the height of the broomstick under her body and pointed the wand in her hand at the man.
"Ah~"
There was sarcasm in Snape's voice, and he called out the name of the girl who once sat with him on the grass in Spider-End Alley, imagining the magical world.
