At No. 12 Grimmauld Square, Sirius, who had just been on duty at night vigil, realized that something was wrong after receiving the alarm from Phineas.
Even if the Dark Mark appears in the observatory, even if Death Eaters really invade Hogwarts, it will be nothing to Dumbledore who has returned to school. He can basically solve most things by himself.
However, the headmaster still asked Phineas to remind members of the Order of the Phoenix to reinforce Hogwarts, which meant that Hogwarts might really be in big trouble, so it needed help.
Sirius immediately contacted other members of the Order of the Phoenix through the communication bookmark and asked everyone to gather at No. 12 Grimmauld Place. Unfortunately, everyone had already rested at this time. In the end, only Lupin and Bill, who were notified by Sirius himself, were the only ones who rushed there.
With hibiscus.
The others either went to Azkaban or were temporarily unreachable.
After discussion, the four of them unanimously decided that Fleur would stay at the headquarters and wait for other members of the Order of the Phoenix to arrive one after another. The others immediately used Floo powder to reinforce Hogwarts.
On the way to the observatory, they met Professor McGonagall.
"What's going on now?"
Sirius took a breath and asked Professor McGonagall.
"I don't know. Harry just ran to inform me that the Dark Mark appeared in the observatory and that Death Eaters invaded Hogwarts. I'm still confused."
Professor McGonagall couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Sirius, Lupine and Bill. She also realized that the situation was not good.
The sound coming from the astronomy tower caused the four people to immediately stop talking and prick up their ears with vigilance.
Bill's eyes widened in shock and he murmured: "Did a mysterious person invade Hogwarts?"
No wonder Bill thinks so. In everyone's memory, the only one who can stand up to Dumbledore is the mysterious man, and other Death Eaters are like children in front of him.
"We'd better hurry up with the Felixir. I always have a bad feeling."
Sirius was a little worried. It was really hard to imagine that Dumbledore would encounter such a situation. No matter how you looked at it, the enemy had planned it for a long time, and it might even be a trap specially prepared for Dumbledore.
After several people exchanged glances with each other, they all took out the elixir and put it in their mouths, then turned to look at Professor McGonagall next to them.
"Have you taken the Felixir?" Sirius suddenly asked.
"No, what's wrong?" Professor McGonagall shook her head. She actually received the elixir of happiness, but she was in such a hurry when she arrived that she didn't have time to bring it with her.
"Then take one, I suspect there may be a big battle next." As he said that, Sirius took out the remaining golden pills from his pocket and handed them to Professor McGonagall, "Just in case."
Professor McGonagall did not refuse, took the pill and put it in her mouth.
"I still haven't figured out how the Death Eaters invaded the castle through all the protective magic." Bill felt that others might know the information. "Did they come in through a secret passage or from the Forbidden Forest?"
"This is impossible, all the secret passages leading outside the school are blocked," Lupine was sure of this. It was he and Sirius who helped block all the secret passages entering Hogwarts.
"No one can fly in." Professor McGonagall shook her head and said, "If you rashly enter the school from the Forbidden Forest, it will trigger an alarm, and it is impossible for the Death Eaters to be silent."
"Actually, the secret passage under the Whomping Willow is not blocked, I mean the one leading to the Shrieking Shack." Sirius suddenly stopped and took out something strange from his pocket and threw it in front of him.
, turned his head and said to the others, "Next, let the inflatable dolls rush to the front. Although we have taken the elixir, we still have to be careful not to be ambushed by Death Eaters."
After a while, Sirius' caution paid off. The dummy charging at the front was destroyed by a sudden spell when he turned the corner and was about to enter the observatory stairs.
Everyone immediately stopped, and Lu Ping stepped forward and relied on the mirror to observe the situation around the corner.
A famous and very strong blond wizard walked down the stairs. After destroying the inflatable doll that was about to approach the stairs, he obviously realized that Dumbledore's reinforcements were coming. He immediately chanted a curse around the corner, and one after another explosive curses hit him.
After reaching the wall, it bounced around the corner. The exploded rocks cracked and even the window glass was shattered.
After Professor McGonagall, Sirius and Bill had a premonition of something bad, they waved their wands in time to deploy a protective barrier to protect the four of them, so that they were not hit by the explosion curse.
"It's an unfamiliar face." Lupine put away the mirror and said. They had all seen the memory of Voldemort's resurrection through Harry's memory. They had an impression of most of the Death Eaters, and the one who threw spells at them just now
Lupine didn't know the madman at all, he was probably a new Death Eater.
Moreover, the weirdest thing is that there is only one Death Eater, where are the other Death Eaters?"
Hiding, or...
"We'll rush out together and deal with him later."
Sirius waved his wand to summon a large iron plate out of thin air. He used spells to control the large iron plate to serve as a cover and led everyone to rush out.
This trick, like using an inflatable doll to find the way, was learned from Albert through the Weasley brothers.
Sirius was more attentive to these little tricks than most members of the Order of the Phoenix.
It turns out that these little tricks really work.
When Sirius let the thick iron plate attract fire in front of him, several people led by Professor McGonagall rushed out from the corner and chanted spells at the blond Death Eater. Under the guidance of the elixir
Next, the guy who was so arrogant just now was knocked to the ground by several spells, his life and death unknown.
"It's weird. Where are the other Death Eaters?"
They made such a loud noise, but no other Death Eaters appeared unusual.
"No matter what, charge forward!"
Without hesitation, Sirius made another inflatable doll and rushed forward, and he also rushed behind with the iron plate that had just been repaired by Lupin.
Something unexpected happened.
When the inflatable doll rushed towards the stairs, it was launched into the air by a force.
When Sirius, who was carrying a big iron plate, rushed through the stairs, he was also thrown away by a force. Fortunately, Professor McGonagall cast a spell in time to catch Sirius.
"They used magic to seal the stairs."
Bill had been a curse-breaker in Egypt for many years and knew exactly what was going on, so he immediately set out to break the curse at the entrance of the stairs.
Then the inflatable doll continued to rush forward, but it was still ejected.
"It failed. It really takes time..." Bill murmured, "Those guys are trying to delay time. Is their target really Dumbledore?"
Everyone's expressions were ugly. They all saw the Death Eaters' intentions. Although everyone had confidence in Dumbledore, they couldn't be optimistic about the current situation.
ah!
A dark shadow passed by the broken window, followed closely by a shrill scream that cut through the night.
"It looks like someone fell."
"The man probably fell to his death."
Lupine ran to the window and looked out, trying to figure out who had fallen.
"Now is not the time to care about these things. We must break through this magical barrier first." Sirius called on everyone to chant the spell-breaking magic together, trying to forcefully break it through violence.
After everyone worked together to break the spell, Sirius took the lead and rushed upwards. However, the spell on the stairs was not lifted. Sirius was thrown out again and fell at the feet of Harry and Professor Flitwick.
"Are you okay? What's going on now?" Harry stretched out his hand to help Sirius up.
"The stairs were sealed by Death Eaters using a spell. We are trying to find a way to break it." Bill introduced the current situation to Professor Flitwick. "If it cannot be broken in a short time, I suggest trying to blow up the stairs or use other means to break it."
Go up somewhere."
"I'll give it a try, it should be fine."
Professor Flitwick, who had not yet recovered, pulled out his wand and chanted a spell towards the stairs in front of him. After a moment, he put down his wand and said to everyone: "It should be fine. I have seen something similar before. It probably only allows
Death Eaters with the Dark Mark pass."
This time, Sirius let the inflatable doll rush to the front. Just as Professor Flitwick said, the spell that blocked everyone was indeed lifted.
Just when everyone was about to rush in, the inflatable doll suffered a devastating blow, and the Death Eaters planned to block everyone at the stairs.
"Damn it, how many Death Eaters invaded Hogwarts?" Sirius' face looked very ugly. If he hadn't taken the Felixir and relied on the Felixir's reminder to escape the wave of sneak attacks, he would have died right now.
The sneak attack just now came down.
"Are there any other secret passages leading up here?" Bill looked at Sirius and Lupin, who were most familiar with the school's secret passages.
"No." Harry answered for them. He was observing the situation upstairs through the Marauder's Map, "There are eight of us above, and there are several Death Eaters on the observatory who are fighting Dumbledore. Snape and
Malfoy is also up there, so I'm telling you that it was definitely those two bastards who did this."
"As for Snape, tie him up and let Dumbledore handle it when the time comes." Sirius took the Marauder's Map from Harry, looked at it carefully and suddenly said, "I suggest breaking down the ceiling, since we can't go up.
, just get them down, I’m sure those scum will be shocked.”
He began to estimate the location where the Death Eaters were hiding, and prepared to give them a hard blow.
Everyone turned their heads and looked at Sirius with disbelief.
"This is not easy. However, you can give it a try. It is better than rushing directly to the stairs." Professor Flitwick nodded in agreement with Sirius's method. Since they are ambushing there, they can only adopt other methods. "Let's all work together.
Use the Disintegration Charm to blow up the ceiling, at least it will be easier to repair later."
Everyone exchanged glances with each other without any opinions, and then pushed outside the range designated by Sirius. Several people raised their wands and pointed them at the ceiling.
Falling apart!
Landed in response!
Five spells flew out towards the ceiling at the same time. The ceiling above the head instantly broke into countless small gravels like tofu cut open with a kitchen knife. Two unlucky guys were suddenly killed nearby.
The collapse of the ground affected him, and he fell down from the building in horror.
Faint to the ground, faint to the ground!
Without giving the two unlucky men a chance to struggle, Harry directly used the Stunning Charm to knock them down, and then cast a Flying Charm to snatch their wands away and break them into two pieces with both hands.
Seeing Harry knocking down several Death Eaters and breaking their wands so neatly, everyone was very surprised at Harry's skillful actions.
"Without a wand, it is difficult for Death Eaters to pose much of a threat to us." Harry noticed the strange looks from everyone and quickly explained: "After all, not everyone knows how to cast spells without a wand."
"It's done right."
Sirius agreed with Harry's approach, "Of course, you can also directly make them harmless, such as killing the enemy directly."
"Sirius." Lupine frowned slightly.
"The enemy is the enemy. Don't sympathize with the enemy Remus. You should sympathize with the people they killed."
The Death Eaters who recovered from the mutation immediately passed through the gap in the ceiling and used black magic on the people below. As a result, they hit the Death Eater who was pulled by Sirius as a shield, causing the death eater who was originally there to be injured.
Colleagues with such a bad tone immediately burped their farts.
"Despicable and shameless people." The Death Eaters were furious and prepared to recite the killing curse on Sirius. However, they were not lucky enough. They were pulled down from the upstairs by Professor McGonagall and fell heavily to the ground. Their heads seemed to be hit on marble.
went up and never stood up again.
"There are five more up there!"
Sirius threw away the body, glanced at Harry's broken wand, and put the Marauder's Map back into Harry's hand, "Help me keep an eye on their location."
He silently gestured to Lupine a few more times and shouted: "Use those two scum as cover and charge straight ahead. They can't stop us."
With that said, Sirius controlled the unconscious Death Eater to rush towards the stairs, but this time he did not rush up, but let the inflatable doll continue to explore the way, followed by the person who was regarded as
Death Eaters with human shields.
When Sirius attracted all the Death Eaters to the stairs, Lupine and Bill stepped directly on the stairs made of gravel by Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, and rushed in through the hole blown in the ceiling above their heads.
, using spells on the Death Eaters who were suppressing Sirius at the entrance of the stairs, catching them off guard.
However, it seemed that two people rushed towards them, but Bill and Lupin knocked one down directly. After the other was disarmed, he bit Bill on the arm that was blocking his face.
"Fenrir Greyback."
Seeing the man with a disgusting stench and a faint smell of blood all over his body, Lupine immediately used a magic spell to fly Fenrir away and help Bill resolve the crisis.
"What a disgusting guy."
Lupine raised his wand and easily dispelled any resistance from Fenrir, binding him firmly to the ground. A ferocious smile appeared on his tired face: "It seems that even once a month can't satisfy a pervert like you."
"Remus, are you okay?" Sirius had already rushed up, and the remaining Death Eaters had already retreated upstairs when they saw that the situation was not going well.
"I, of course I'm fine, the Elixir of Fortune has brought me luck!" Lupine stared at Fenrir and said softly, "You know, I have been waiting for this day for too long, my
My whole life has been ruined by you, this scumbag."
"Everyone has the right to revenge, and I respect all your choices." Sirius raised his wand and walked to Remus' side and said to Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick who were coming up, "If you can't get down,
If you have your hands, I can help you."
"Thank you Sirius." Lupine trembled his lips and said, "But no need."
"How is your wound now?" Sirius looked at Bill's bleeding arm and asked with a frown, "Can't you stop the bleeding?"
"It's not good. I'm afraid ordinary spells can't heal it. Will I turn into a werewolf?" Bill looked at Fenrir who bit him angrily and couldn't help spitting on the ground.
"No, there is not a full moon tonight, and Fenrir Greyback has not transformed, but he may have some werewolf characteristics in the future." Lupine reminded.
"That's good, if you can't do it, leave this guy to me!" Bill said murderously. He was bitten by Fenrir Greyback and almost turned into a werewolf.
"Forgiveness cannot solve the problem." Harry said calmly: "I suggest that Fenrir Greyback should be humanely destroyed as soon as possible to prevent him from coming out to continue harming other people. If you can't do it, I can also help you do it.
"
Everyone was shocked by Harry's words.
"You are right." Lupine murmured: "Goodbye, you disgusting guy, you ruined my life, and I ruined yours, it's fair."
A ray of black magic hit Fenrir Greyback, who rushed towards him, and the ambitious werewolf fell onto his former prey.
He didn't suffer much pain before he died. This was the last mercy Lupine left for him.
"How does it feel to have a great revenge?" Sirius smiled and patted Lupine on the shoulder to comfort him.
"It's a pleasure. I'm sorry I didn't leave you a chance." Lupine turned to Bill and said.
"We'd better hurry!" Harry urged.
When they rushed to the stairs, they suddenly heard a loud explosion outside the castle.
"what happened?"
"Someone is attacking Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall looked very serious.
"Don't worry, I can see clearly now. This is definitely a trap set by Albert." Sirius walked to the window and looked in the direction of the sound. The elixir told him that this was definitely Albert's.
Conspiracy, maybe Dumbledore was also involved.
"Albert's conspiracy?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, wondering how Sirius came to such a conclusion.
"Don't you think they are similar? Moreover, the routine is basically the same every time, and those Death Eaters still get into the trap stupidly." Sirius said softly: "They are planning to put these people together.
Take care of a dozen Death Eaters in total. If we kill them all, Voldemort will probably go crazy with anger."
"No matter what, we'd better go there for reinforcements as soon as possible. I always have a bad feeling." Harry continued to urge. The deep uneasiness still lingered in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong.
Something is going to happen.
I originally planned to write a big chapter, but the illness was really overwhelming, so I had to cancel the update. Fortunately, it was just a minor illness. The epidemic is really scary.
