Seeing a large group of chaotic students blocking the corridor, Ryan and Hermione immediately retreated to their compartments and opened the window. Then they used the hook to pull the window frame, turned over and jumped onto the roof of the car.
After reaching the roof of the car, the car had stopped. I have to say that the magic braking system is indeed better than the ordinary one. Ryan and the others half-crouched and scanned the surroundings vigilantly. Sure enough, there was a magic sound coming from the direction of the front of the car.
The light and the sound of fighting. It seems that the plan adopted by the attackers this time is to attack the front of the train or destroy the railway line. Of course, attacking a train is the simplest plan.
But obviously there were more attackers, not just the few people in front of the car. In the few seconds that Ryan got on the roof of the car, black shadows began to appear from the woods at both ends of the railway, and then various
The magic was shot towards the carriages at the back. Fortunately, at this time, the Aurors and senior students in the carriages barely reacted and blocked the attacks.
"Clear the woods on both sides first." Ryan said and contacted the rose crystal with his soul. Soon the box placed on the shelf of the box was opened from the inside, and a purple light flew out of the box and flew into the woods on one side.
.Before departure, Ryan was a little worried that the journey might not be peaceful. After knowing Ryan's worries, Rose Crystal voluntarily hid in the box as a back-up, and now it is obviously used.
Ryan and Hermione disapparated for a short distance to the other side of the woods to a wizard who was laughing maniacally and using a death curse on the carriage. Then, in his shocked eyes, he popped out his hidden sword and stabbed him through.
throat.
"One." Hermione's somewhat cold voice came from the side. "I just counted the magic that was cast. If I guessed correctly, the number of attackers hiding in the woods is about sixty. What we need to do today
There are still many things to do.”
For Ryan and the others, the forest was their hunting ground. After attacking two or three attackers under the cover of trees, they discovered that the Death Eaters who came to attack the train were basically recruited by Voldemort from all over Europe.
There were dark wizards and scum. Although some of them were really good, their coordination was a mess. So in just a few minutes, Ryan and the others easily killed many of them.
The Death Eaters in the woods also discovered that their accomplices were disappearing. As a mob, they lacked the determination to fight to the end. When Ryan and the others eliminated the eighth Death Eater, the remaining Death Eaters began to
Disapparated and ran away.
The same is true for the attackers in the woods on the other side, and even the death rate is higher than here. Because for Rose Crystal and Jill, facing a large number of scattered enemies in such a complex environment is their strength, not to mention
They were all professional assassins. By the time the Death Eaters over there realized something was wrong and ran away, they had already lost nearly 1/3 of their men.
"18." Through the spiritual connection, Ryan and the others counted the results of the battle, and it seemed that they had left nearly 1/3 of the enemies behind. The Aurors in the carriage also noticed that the attacks outside had disappeared, but they did not
They did not come out to check but stuck to their respective posts. After all, protecting the students is the most important thing for them now.
At this time, the sound of fighting in the direction of the car also disappeared. After Ryan and Hermione rushed over, they were surprised to find seven or eight dark wizards bound by spells sitting on the ground. Professor Dumbledore with a long white beard was wearing a blue suit.
Standing there in a red robe, there were several Aurors headed by Mad Eye Moody standing beside him. There were several washbasin-sized holes on the red front of the train, and white steam was constantly coming from the holes.
gush out.
"Professor, this is-" Ryan asked, looking at the scenes in front of him.
"These are all attackers. It's a pity that we didn't ask anything." Dumbledore said, "It's not because they were tough, but Voldemort only gave them the order to attack the Hogwarts Express, and there was nothing else."
"Fortunately, I guessed that the Hogwarts Express might be attacked before the semester started, so I have been on guard today and rushed over as soon as I received the notice from Moody and the others."
At this point Dumbledore frowned; "The only thing I don't know is what is the purpose of Voldemort sending this ragtag group of people here? According to their level, even if I don't come to Hogwarts Express, I won't be affected too much."
Big loss.”
It seemed that Dumbledore was not clear about many things. Fortunately, he had corresponding plans in advance, so this is why the principal was able to appear here to stop the attack a few minutes after the Hogwarts Express was attacked.
At this moment, Ryan suddenly thought of a possibility. Just as he was about to say something to Dumbledore, Dumbledore suddenly stopped and raised his head to look at the ceiling behind Ryan. Upon seeing this, Ryan also turned his head, and saw a ball of white.
A group of light flew over like a meteor. Seeing this scene, he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, the silver light fell lightly to the ground and turned into a sparkling, elegant lynx. Then he opened his mouth and spoke in the loud, rich and slow voice of Kingsley Shacklebolt.
.
"The Ministry of Magic has collapsed. Scrimgeour is dead. The Ministry of Magic has entered a state of emergency and been sealed off. Now the whole of London is under their control."
Everyone's faces suddenly turned ugly. Fortunately, the only people who heard the news now were Principal Dumbledore, Ryan, Hermione, and five or six elite Aurors headed by Moody, so order was still there for a while.
Can be maintained.
"——Albus, what should we do next?" After a pause for a few seconds, Mad-Eye Moody asked Dumbledore.
"Let's repair the train and return to Hogwarts Castle first. In any case, it is too dangerous to place the children in such an unprotected wilderness at this time." Dumbledore immediately made a decision.
It has to be said that Voldemort chose the perfect time to act this time, because at this time Dumbledore had to personally follow the Hogwarts Express to protect the students. It just gave Voldemort and his Death Eaters a perfect window period.
Even if the Headmaster knew the news of the fall of the Ministry of Magic, he would not be able to rush to recapture it. This would give Voldemort time to completely control the Ministry of Magic.
"Principal Dumbledore, since the Ministry of Magic has fallen, nothing can happen to Azkaban at this time. Please allow us to go to Azkaban now to ensure that we do not fall into the hands of a mysterious man." Ryan's thoughts changed.
, immediately thought of another direction, and said to Principal Dumbledore who took out his wand and prepared to repair the steam locomotive.
"What are you talking about? Azkaban requires a pass from the Ministry of Magic -" Mad-Eye Moody immediately retorted after hearing Ryan's words, but was stopped by Dumbledore before he could finish his words.
"Alastor, I believe that since he dared to say that, he must have his own way." Dumbledore comforted Moody and then turned to look at Ryan and the others. He knew Ryan and Hermione from the attack at the end of last year.
Mastered a special kind of space magic that can penetrate existing magic defenses.
It's just that he didn't tell anyone else about it, and he even made a special trip to the Sirius family's ancestral home to use magic to ensure that Malfoy and Narcissa, who knew about it, would not reveal this secret to others.
So after Ryan took the initiative to ask for help, he did not reject Ryan's request, but asked: "Are you sure? You know that Voldemort will definitely send people to attack Azkaban to rescue his accomplices now."
"I'm sure, Mr. Principal." Ryan said decisively. "I can quickly change part of Azkaban's magic defense. As long as I use the original magic there, I believe it will be no problem for a few days. Anyway, in this case
I don’t think the mysterious man will come here in person.”
"Okay, I wish you all the best. If you can't hold on, you can withdraw directly." Dumbledore knew that this was not the time to wait, so he simply agreed to their action.
"Then let's set off." Ryan pulled Hermione and bowed to Dumbledore, then disappeared with a snap.
