Chapter 253

"Bang!"

At the back door of Hogwarts castle, beside the tunnel connecting the inner and outer lakes, two figures are fighting on the water.

On one side was mad eyed moody standing in the boat. His magic eyes turned flexibly and always paid attention to the attack from the air; On the other side, it's obvious. Just look at the black air swirling in the air. It's another black death.

Retired Auror, an experienced veteran, made a very accurate judgment. When the front door was attacked by a large number of death eaters, the enemy also arranged at the back door.

Voldemort had studied at Hogwarts and must have been very clear about the terrain here. It was for this reason that moody hurried to the back door.

But this route is not suitable for attack, because there are not only Mermaid communities at the bottom of the lake, but also a surprisingly large squid.

Although these aborigines never attack school ships under the agreement with Hogwarts, they are not so polite to outsiders.

Therefore, taking the route of Hogwarts Castle underground dock can only be a sneak attack.

At this moment, Moody's is holding a magic wand and constantly releasing spells into the air, but he finds it difficult to hurt each other with all his strength.

Although he is not in any danger for the time being, he can't go on like this.

"Bang!"

There was another dull sound with great impact. The black death who had just rushed towards moody was hit off the flight angle and flew out for a long distance against the lake.

"What the hell is this?" old moody said angrily. "I don't know when the boy will come back!"

As he spoke, he stung his crutch with force and forced the boat shaking because of the impact to stabilize.

Although Marka also mentioned the existence of the black death, how could he explain it clearly even if he didn't understand it himself?

For most modern wizards, this thing is really difficult to deal with.

As a last resort, Moody's had to keep pushing him back while controlling the boat under his feet.

It was not very good for him to meet him on the ship.

……

In the auditorium, Harry and the other students were discussing the situation outside in a low voice.

Of course, it is more speculation than discussion. After all, they live here, and it's unknown what's going on outside.

"... don't you want to go out and have a look?"

This sentence was still said, but surprisingly, it was Hermione who said it.

"Hey! It's not like you!" said Ron, looking at Hermione with strange eyes. "You've been a little strange since just now - you must be the first to disagree with such a thing before!"

"Really?" Hermione glared at him. "I just don't trust Hagrid, and... And we haven't seen where Marca is..."

On hearing the word "Marca", Ron scratched his hair hard and closed his mouth strangely.

Hermione was obviously using Hagrid as an excuse, but she was still thinking about Maka!

Yes! Ron did give up completely and even encouraged Hermione. But once I heard her mention Marca, I was still a little stuffy.

"Harry, what do you think?"

Seeing Ron not talking, Hermione looked at Harry again.

But Harry looked hesitant - to be honest, he really looked like going out to see the situation, and he was a little curious about where Marca and hibiscus were.

But

"Oh, yeah..." Harry stammered, "but... How do we get out? The professors are watching!"

Hearing this, Hermione suddenly smiled proudly.

"Look!" she took it out of her arms, and then took out a black magic medicine bottle, "this was given to me by Maka when the top three just decided on the candidate for the warrior..."

a birthday present.

She said the word in her heart, and immediately felt a warm feeling quietly, which made her firm her determination to go out.

"... this is the 'immortal hidden medicine'... If we are divided into three parts, although the stealth time will be shorter, it must be enough for us to leave here!"

She looked left and right, then quietly pointed to the aisle and said, "let's go from the lobby. There should be only professor sprott there! Now the door must be closed. If we want to go out, we must go through the back door!"

"Be careful not to make any noise."

Then she gently pulled out the cork of the potion bottle, poured some into her mouth, and handed it to Harry.

If other stealth potions were used in public, people would definitely find them, but the characteristics of Xianyin potion made Hermione disappear without being aware of it.

As Hermione's sense of existence gradually decreased, Harry and Ron just blinked their eyes and couldn't find her anymore.

They subconsciously looked around. It's hard to imagine what this stealth principle is.

When Ron also drank the medicine and disappeared in front of Harry, Harry took a deep breath, picked up the magic medicine bottle placed on the ground by Ron, and drank the rest of the medicine with a tangled face.

But to be honest, it's a terrible thing for three little wizards who can't see each other to take the same route.

The advantages of Xianyin potion are obvious, but the disadvantages are also obvious - this potion can't speak, can't make a noticeable sound, and we should pay more attention that it can't be touched by anyone.

But right now, there are only two ways to get out of here.

One is naturally the gate of the auditorium. Although it leads directly to the lawn outside the castle, now the door is full of professors; The other is to go to the hall through the corridor, and then go out through the gate of the castle.

Generally speaking, the gate must be an important defense route. But because there is the self-defense magic of Hogwarts castle, the stone pier knights, there is only Pomona spraot, a professor of herbal medicine.

Yes, Hermione certainly made no mistake in choosing that path. But the key is that the three of them can't see each other now!

If they accidentally touch each other, the stealth effect will immediately fail.

Hermione had read the instructions for the potion written to her by Maka, but she didn't remember the problem until she drank the potion.

"... what shall we do?"

Hermione stood there, watching Harry and Ron drink the medicine in turn, but unable to speak, she had to take a step first with an anxious face.

"I'm sorry, Harry, Ron!" she prayed innocently in her heart as she trotted down the corridor, "... Well... Good luck!"

When Hermione walked all the way to the hall, she immediately found that the heavy door had been tightly closed.

Professor spraot was not at the gate. Hermione glanced at the spiral stairs on both sides of the gate - the professor was mostly in the observation room above!

She looked carefully into the corridor to the right, then crept around the stairs to the long passage to the back door underground dock.

……

Not to mention Hermione, Harry and Ron had just passed through the side porch.

No way, after they found that they couldn't see each other, somehow, they immediately felt a little guilty.

Three people together have a caregiver. At least if there are people around, they can feel at ease. But now they all felt as if they were the only one secretly leaving the auditorium.

The two people stood in place with their heads retracted for a while, constantly watching back and forth, until they remembered that there was a time limit, they had to step aside and "move" from the middle of the students to the corridor.

If someone could see through the invisibility, they would see such a scene - two little wizards in Gryffindor's robes, shrinking their heads and tiptoe, walking forward and backward to the hall like two thieves.

They even took the same route. Ron was in front and Harry was behind. They timidly came to the corner at the other end of the side porch.

Then Ron suddenly stopped——

"Oh!" "ah!"

With two overlapping whispers, Harry's whole face was on Ron's back - needless to say, they were both startled!

Ron suddenly turned around. They covered their mouths, widened their eyes, looked at each other in horror, looked at each other, and were at a loss.

Harry quickly pointed to the corner, and Ron immediately nodded and looked out into the hall.

When Ron finally saw that there was no one in the hall, he turned back, waved hard to Harry, and pointed to the passage behind the stairs.

When Harry nodded, they looked into the hall again. After confirming that there was no one, they relaxed their steps and ran towards the dark passage.

Their figure was just submerged by the darkness in the passage, and a person immediately came down the spiral ladder next to the gate.

It was the fat professor spruot. She looked warily at the hall for a while, even checked it with a magic spell, and found that there was no one. Then she returned to the observation room with a puzzled look on her face.

The battle at the school gate continues. She must stay here so that she is ready to inform Professor McGonagall to come and open the stone pier knights.

……

In the dark passage, there will be torches at a long distance to provide light that can barely see the ground ahead.

This passage is slightly inclined downward and directly leads to the underground dock at the back door. Every freshman will walk here and go to the auditorium to attend the welcome dinner.

At the moment, Hermione was stepping as lightly as possible to avoid echoing when walking.

But just when she could almost see the outline of the back door, she found a footstep that made her hair stand upright behind her——

"Those two fools!" she leaned quickly against the wall, clinging to the corridor wall, and dared not move.

"Who?"

Suddenly a bent figure came in outside the back door and looked inside with a lantern - it was filch, the gatekeeper!
