The foggy abandoned wasteland town is full of the shrill laughter of Voldemort and Death Eaters, as well as the dazzling and terrifying green light. The town with only a few ruins left has become the only barrier that Hermione and Hannah can rely on to deal with.
.
As the dark mark rose higher and higher in the sky, the air was suddenly filled with the rustling of cloaks.
Behind the broken brick walls, between the abandoned stone roads, on the abandoned rubble piles, every time Hermione and Hannah defeated a Death Eater, one or two wizards would apparate out of unexpected places.
.They all wore hoods and covered their faces, grinning and screaming like devils from hell.
Luna Lovegood's good fortune seemed to have run out in class.
Not long after the battle started, Hermione saw a green light cut through the air and shot behind them. Luna screamed and fell down like Elena, lying pitifully like a doll.
The ground was motionless.
Hermione didn't turn around and continued to look at Luna and Elena, she just pulled out her wand and continued to fire spells crazily.
She didn't want to believe that the two living girls who had been chatting and laughing with them just a few minutes ago had died like this, and in an extremely ridiculous way, in this unknown land.
"Hermione, this is not the way to go. We have to find a way to kill Voldemort!"
Hannah Abbott gasped, picking up the gravel around her and throwing it forward with force, once again successfully knocking down a hooded wizard who tried to get close to the area, but there was nothing on the girl's face.
Any joy.
As time went by, her physical strength was almost reaching its limit.
Although the magic power has not disappeared, Hannah can clearly feel that her reaction and speed are rapidly declining. It is probably only a matter of time before she is hit by more and more Death Eaters using magic spells around her.
"It's impossible. Peter Pettigrew has always been guarding Voldemort. My spell can't hit him at all."
Hermione shook her head, stood up quickly, and clicked her wand outward. The strengthened explosive spell easily overturned two or three masked Death Eaters who were about to outflank her from the right, and at the same time blew up the magic spell that was blocking her.
An earthen wall along the path.
Compared with the confrontation in the classroom, these adult wizards are obviously much more scattered.
There are no well-defined spells to suppress attacks, nor well-organized assault and cover formations. Except for the more powerful spells, most of them just gather together and rush over in a chaotic manner. A powerful explosion can kill them all.
Put down.
However, there are too many people on the other side, and their physical strength and magic power cannot sustain them for long.
The legendary Voldemort and the vicious Peter Pettigrew are not as difficult to deal with as the girl imagined. As long as she calms down and follows the skills in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class to avoid and suppress magic, she and Hannah can defeat them with just two people.
They actually persisted under the siege of dozens of Death Eaters, and even defeated enemies several times their size.
Hermione had doubts as to whether this was still a level test, but the heat of the curse across her cheeks, and the pain of flying sparks and gravel hitting her body, all told her that it was all true.
"I remember that Elena once said that the Death Eaters gathered together by fear are actually a ball of loose sand. As long as Voldemort can be defeated, most of the Death Eaters will flee instead of continuing to serve Voldemort.
."
Hannah Abbott took a deep breath, and a look of determination appeared on her face.
"Entering Hogwarts Castle and getting to know you, Elena, and Luna has been the happiest time for me in these years. If they really disperse, no matter what, you have to find a way to bring us all back to Hogwarts Castle."
Gwartz...it's so cold here."
As she spoke, Hannah Abbott bent down and lifted up a huge stone wall to block it in front of her.
Looking reluctantly at Hermione, as well as Elena and Luna who were lying on the ground, Hannah's eyes gradually filled with bloodshot eyes. Originally, she could only release three layers of enhanced magic text, but at this moment she finally broke through.
The limit reached five levels.
Hannah roared, waving the huge stone wall like a shield, constantly knocking away the magic spells flying around, and pounced fiercely towards Peter Pettigrew and Voldemort, who were still staying in place not far away.
"Hey! You bastards, look at me!"
"No - stop! Stop! Hannah! What do you want to do?!"
Hermione let out a shrill cry, and she felt the green light whizzing past her. The Death Eaters surrounding them began to move, moving towards Hannah's back, and Peter Pettigrew
Most of his energy and sight were blocked by the stone wall wielded by Hannah Abbott.
"Follow up! Hermione! I'll be at the front to absorb all the damage! Just like I did in class before!"
Hannah roared, her petite body casting a huge shadow under the light of the curse, and the huge stone wall rotated and slapped in her hands like a toy, effortlessly hitting the masked Death Eaters blocking the path.
fly.
As if they didn't expect that the two little witches who had been forced into a desperate situation could actually explode with such fighting power. A crack finally appeared in the originally tight encirclement. The two of them crossed the sky full of spells and the magic sparks flying everywhere,
Finally got close to Voldemort and Peter Pettigrew.
"Huh, ridiculous baby bird..."
A look of contempt appeared on Peter Pettigrew's face, and he nonchalantly raised his wand and pointed it at Hermione.
On the other side, Voldemort, who had a snake-like face, also raised his wand with a grin, and a flash of green light quickly lit up at the tip of his wand, which was the terrible killing curse that had taken away the lives of Luna and Elena.
"Now! Hermione! Kill them!"
Hannah roared and threw the stone wall in her hand towards the astonished Peter Pettigrew. She turned around and used her chest to actively meet the light from the front of Voldemort's wand. Her eyes were filled with fear, nostalgia and incomparable
of anger.
"Avada Kedavra!"
"Avada Kedavra!"
Two green rays of light hit Hannah's body one after another. The girl fell to the ground like a bird with broken wings, making a dull impact, and Hannah's stone wall also swallowed the pettigrew.
Peter, make a loud noise.
"Hannah!"
Hermione let out a shrill wail and stared straight ahead without fear at the man who was turning the wand. His two big eyes were red and his nose was as flat as a snake with only two thin slits left, just like a two-hole socket at home.
Dark Lord.
Before Voldemort could cast the spell again, the wand in Hermione's hand emitted a dazzling red beam of light.
"explosion maximum!"
boom!
The curse swallowed Voldemort instantly, and a strong wave of air exploded.
Endless heat and light enveloped Hermione's sight. Voldemort, Peter Pettigrew, and even the surrounding masked people and Elena who fell on the ground gradually disappeared in the roar of magic and turned into Wisps of colorless smoke.
puff.
As if a soap bubble in the sun had been popped, the surrounding area gradually became brighter.
The wet and cold water quickly dissipated, and the fog that blocked the view disappeared. The unique magic torch and blue-gray walls of Hogwarts Castle appeared in Hermione's sight again, and the ruins of the town were in disarray. It was as if someone had suddenly used magic to move him from the seaside thousands of miles away to Hogwarts Castle.
Beside her, Hannah was lying quietly on the ground, smacking her lips gently, sleeping very soundly.
Further away, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Snape, Professor Sprout, Professor Apokaris... and even a number of school staff including Albus Dumbledore They all stood there.
The faces of most of the faculty and staff were filled with shock and thoughtfulness. They were whispering to each other while looking at Hermione, Hannah lying on the floor, and the people around her who were seriously injured with a rather complicated look. Destroyed environment.
In the air in front of the professors, a layer of light golden light curtain floated, isolating them from the venue.
"This, this is..."
Having just released all the magic power in her body, Hermione was a little shaken and asked softly with a hoarse voice.
At this moment, a series of applause and a familiar voice came to her ears.
"Congratulations! You successfully passed the sixth level of assessment!"
"No, to be precise, you have passed the magic illusion battle that first-year, second-year... and even fifth-year students will experience, and you still managed to defeat the final boss in a perfect way while reducing the number of people by one person. Passed."
"……oh."
Hermione raised her head silently, looking at the unharmed white-haired dumpling in front of her expressionlessly.
"So, everything before... was a test?"
Elena sneered and shrank back, feeling as if Hermione's gaze was as terrifying as cannibalism.
The little half-breed Veela, who was seriously guilty, looked around at the professors standing behind her with her peripheral vision. After looking at her professors with half-smiling faces, she felt that her courage had returned a little. She took a deep breath and nodded.
"Yes," she said calmly, "In fact, when you mustered up the courage to attack the Death Eaters and the mysterious man, you have already completed the first-year assessment, but the professors still want to see Where are your limits?"
"You know - I thought you were dead just now -"
"Well, if you can think calmly, you will find that I actually gave you a hint before."
Elena coughed lightly and looked away from Hermione's face guiltily, "In this assessment, all the creatures you see, except for each other, are untrustworthy... What you saw It may not be true, and what you heard may not be true... Moreover, there are actually many flaws in the entire battle process..."
"And you were extremely cruel, 'killing' Luna from the very beginning!"
"No, no, no, Luna was an accident. She discovered in advance that the whole scene was made up of illusions. Even though she didn't see any clues, you know she always has an unreasonable sixth sense.
Therefore, in order to continue the assessment, I had to control her and arrange for her to be temporarily eliminated in this way."
"Then it was an accident that you took the initiative to face the death curse and faked your death?"
"This, this is a plot animation," Elena blinked and explained seriously.
"The purpose of this is to restore the reality as much as possible, so that you can stimulate your own potential, and at the same time, it will be easier to help you overcome your fear - this is not directed at you, I swear! In fact, no matter who it is, this
The beginning of the level will not change. The only difference is the subsequent combat strength and number of Death Eaters. Besides..."
Elena thought for a moment, turned around and pointed at Professor Otto Apokalis, and said without hesitation.
"Most of these assessment contents were also arranged by Professor Apokalis. I just performed according to the script. As you know, the professor has always believed that the core of Defense Against the Dark Arts is to learn to resist and defend against the infringement of dark wizards."
"So, this level is part of the Defense Against the Dark Arts test?"
Hermione raised her head and glanced at the professors around her, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress the anger and grievance in her heart.
"Of course that's the case. I'm just a student like you. How can I decide the content of the level?"
Elena nodded seriously, and the expression on her face gradually relaxed.
"Due to your wonderful performance in this level, the professors have unanimously decided to exempt you from the seventh level. It will be directly regarded as your perfect passing of the [Test of Dark Magic Defense], and the rewards will be distributed in front of all the students in the school tomorrow morning.
"
After glancing at Hermione who was doubtful, Elena took out her wand and moved it deftly on Hannah.
Hannah's eyelids fluttered as she was still sleeping, and she quickly woke up again.
Immediately afterwards, Elena repeated what she had told Hermione before. Compared to Hermione Granger, who was more suspicious, Hannah Tiehanhan was a little unhappy, but after all,
On the face of the professor, he quickly accepted this ending, pouted his mouth gloomily, and stayed there alone.
"Okay, it's getting late. You should go back to the dormitory first. I still need to clean up the place."
Looking at Hermione and Hannah, who had almost accepted the reality, Elena smiled slightly and pointed to the other end of the room.
It was only then that Hermione discovered that an outward passage had been opened there. If she read correctly, walking out from here should lead directly to the exit of the corridor on the fourth floor, which was also where they entered the dungeon.
"Baimao Tuanzi, just wait for me, this matter is not over yet..."
Hermione approached Elena, whispered something, and was about to turn around and leave the room.
Suddenly, the girl stopped and her eyes wandered over the professors in the room who were still chatting quietly or looking at them with smiles. Some of the words Elena had said before quickly flashed through her mind.
Hermione turned around suddenly and looked at Elena in front of her. Her eyes stayed on the little silver-white hair on the girl's head that was shaking proudly back and forth, and she asked softly meaningfully.
"Wait! I have another question, Elena, where is Luna?"
"Luna has left early and should be in the dormitory now."
Elena replied calmly, blinking in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
really……
This white-haired dumpling is lying...
Hermione slowly raised her wand and raised it firmly in Elena's direction.
"The assessment is not over at all! This is an illusion! Where is Luna?!"
"...It's really strange. I shouldn't have exposed any flaws."
Facing Hermione's wand, Elena was silent for a moment, then smiled helplessly.
Immediately afterwards, the girl slowly raised her right hand and snapped her fingers.
A ball of golden flame spread out from under the girl's feet in an instant. The images of the gentle professors were silently broken into dots of starlight, and the decoration of the entire room disappeared in a matter of seconds.
Elena's figure also disappeared from in front of Hermione and appeared on a bronze throne not far away.
At her feet, a three-headed puppy was crawling on the edge of the steps, looking sleepily at Hermione and Hannah.
Luna Lovegood also reappeared in Hermione's sight. At this time, the girl's lips were sealed by magic, and she was sitting less than one meter away from them, on the spot where Professor Dumbledore originally stood.
"Okay, I think you should have guessed the last level."
Elena took out a delicate hourglass from her arms, gently turned it over, and placed it on the armrest of the throne.
"Stay in my hands for ten minutes, or defeat me... Then, I will let you do whatever you want - otherwise, your memories of the sixth and seventh levels will be erased, and the forgetting potion can only take away half an hour.
Memories within.”
