Five minutes later, Joel rubbed his sore knees, and now the only sound left in the room was the man's heavy breathing and a series of coughs from time to time.
The coughing sound was like vomiting out all the internal organs before he felt at ease. Joel frowned when he heard it.
Could it be that he has tuberculosis?
It seemed that he would not get any new information. Joel groped around the house in the dark. Through the curtains, he could vaguely see the dried flowers in the vase on the window sill due to lack of water. He roughly noted the appearance and location of the house.
Next time, I plan to stay at the Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade and come back to explore again tomorrow morning.
The effect of the Disillusionment Curse had mostly worn off, and Joel could already see his white arms in the dark night. He slowly stepped back before being discovered by Professor White.
At this moment, he heard the crunching sound of branches being trampled in the woods behind him.
Joel's steps froze.
He quickly cast a new phantom spell on himself, hiding his body in the surrounding environment.
Two middle-aged men with beards and stalwarts appeared in Joel's sight. Contrary to their stature, the two men's light footsteps walked out of the woods covered with weeds without even the sound of footsteps being heard.
It wasn't the sound of branches that alerted Joel, he had no time to react.
The two men were wearing brown mink coats. They looked very bloated from the outside, like brown bears in the forest. They were crouching in the grass and looking furtive.
Although the two men were dressed like characters in a domestic forest ranger cartoon, Joel did not dare to act rashly.
The two waved the wands in their hands and then spoke. Joel was ten meters away from the two of them, but could not hear a sound.
Joel understood that the two of them must have used some kind of soundproofing spell, and now he could only watch their mouths moving non-stop.
He tried to keep his breathing low and gentle, curled up his knees and hugged the wand in his hand.
The two men did not stay there for a long time. After a short conversation, they stood up and walked slowly towards the house. The wand gently slid to the palm of the right hand. The right arm was slightly tilted, keeping two fingers away from the thigh, and the left arm was tightly
Close to the seam of trousers.
The two men's identical movements led Joel to conclude that they had received some kind of special training.
They won't be Voldemort's Death Eaters. Those people are either being punished in Azkaban or huddled in a corner and lingering. There are very few people like the Malfoy family who are arrogant and domineering.
Nor could they be Aurors from the British Ministry of Magic. Joel, who had read the original novel, could not remember what professional training these Aurors had received.
Where did these two people come from?
The two men did not see Joel who had cast the Disillusionment Curse. They came to both sides of the door and leaned against the wall and made gestures to each other. From Joel's perspective, they were like agents in Muggle movies.
They discussed with hand gestures, pointed their wands at the door and stepped forward with heavy shoulders. The powerful spell and their strong bodies pushed the door open directly.
The two of them rushed in, and Joel felt nervous. The man in the room before was cursing something loudly. Along with the violent coughing sound, there were several whistling sounds of magic spells flying by.
Joel's feeling of uneasiness increased sharply. He hurriedly dodged and fell down. The wall behind him was hit by a magic spell. Many stones fell from Joel's head and hit the schoolbag behind him.
Fortunately, he escaped in time, otherwise he would have been smashed to pieces and bloody.
He stood up and moved quickly to the window. At this time, a woman's voice sounded in the room, and it was Professor White.
The battle inside became more intense, and the glass on the windows was shattered. Joel was able to open the curtains and see clearly what was going on inside the house.
It was a two-on-two wizard duel, with Professor White and the middle-aged man who was suspected of suffering from tuberculosis fighting against the two wizards who looked like brown bears.
The two "brown bear" wizards cooperated very well. Together, they focused all their energy on Professor White, attacking her with spells one after another, without giving her any time to rest and adjust.
This is the first time that Joel has witnessed a wizard duel with his own eyes. His Disillusionment Curse is still hanging on his body. The four wizards who are fighting will not pay attention to the window at all. Joel can enjoy the duel.
The reaction speed of the four wizards was very fast. The wands in their hands kept moving, and colorful lights representing various magic spells roared out from the tip of the wand.
The magic spells collided with each other in the air, and the magic power overflowed. Joel could feel the crazy fluctuations of the magic power in the air from five or six meters away.
It's really exciting, just like watching a science fiction movie.
But Joel did not forget his mandatory mission. He saw that the two "brown bear" wizards attacked the consumptive man relatively lightly, just some disarming spells and coma spells, but they did not treat Professor White with any sympathy, and green lights flickered.
And passed.
The green light was deep and profound, and Joel felt that his entire soul was about to be sucked away just by looking at it.
Joel can recognize this curse, Avada Kedavra, one of the three unforgivable curses. The green light represents endless killing. It has taken away countless living lives, which is horrifying.
They really wanted to kill Professor White, and Joel was a little impatient.
The mandatory mission requires him to save Professor White's life, and he cannot afford to lose 40% of his memory.
As long as he doesn't lose his life or become disabled, he will do whatever it takes to help Professor White.
He now only masters one attack spell - the Petrification Curse, which Professor Flitwick taught them before Christmas. Joel also practiced it for a while after refreshing his magic qualifications, and he is quite skillful in using it.
He brought up the system panel and scanned the Charms column. The only 60 gold galleons he had left on hand could not be exchanged for any powerful spells.
He can only rely on himself.
Joel shook off the gravel from his backpack, opened the zipper, and took out the "Indestructible Hammer."
I picked it up in my hand, trying to make myself feel like a paladin.
Once again, he cast a Disappearance Curse on himself, and this time the hammer also became transparent.
Then, holding a hammer in his left hand and a wand in his right hand, he sneaked into the house through the front door.
Avada Kedavra cannot be blocked by the conventional defensive spell-armor protection, and can only be blocked by transformation or dodge, which makes Professor White's battle very difficult.
The combat effectiveness of the two "brown bear" wizards is very strong. She must be very focused. Even so, it is still dangerous. She has to roll on the ground from time to time to avoid the spell. The dust on the ground falls on the aqua blue robe.
He looked extremely embarrassed.
hateful!
If it hadn't been for the lack of sleep and restlessness in the past few weeks that affected her energy, she would have been able to cope with it much easier.
She looked at her opponent's stern face and gritted her teeth, wanting to tear him into pieces.
But the "brown bear" wizard didn't care about Professor White's expression. One of them used a disarming spell to repel the consumptive man on the side. Then the two of them acted in unison and struck Professor White with two deep green lights.
Professor White immediately waved his wand, and the vase on the window sill flew over and collided with a death curse in the air.
Facing another life-killing curse, Professor White fell to the right to dodge. The life-killing curse was avoided. However, when she stood up, a hidden disease broke out in her right leg. Her right leg muscles twitched very obviously, and she couldn't stand up for a while.
The "brown bear" wizard had a mocking smile on his face. One of them was dealing with the consumptive man, and the other stepped forward, raising the wand in his hand, and the tip of the wand glowed green.
A wry smile appeared on Professor White's face. The consumptive man's eyes were about to burst, and he was mumbling an incomprehensible language.
Green light burst out instantly, Professor White's sight was filled with green, and everything returned to calm.
Um?
Professor White turned his head, how could he still move?
Avada's Kedavra light gradually dissipated, and Professor White regained her sight. She saw the eyes of the "brown bear" wizard who wanted to kill her were filled with astonishment, and the wand in his hand drooped weakly. The previous Kedavra curse struck her.
He hit the floor under his feet, making a hole the size of a bowl in the original wooden floor.
He slowly fell forward. Behind him, a panting little boy was exposed in his sight. He was holding a hammer in his left hand and a wand in his right hand, with a little fear on his face.
meaning.
She recognized him, he was her student, who had helped her not long ago, the first-year Ravenclaw, Joel Taylor.
