"Bang Bang... Bang Bang..."

At 5 a.m. New York time, a sudden knock on the door sounded on the second floor of the riverside cabin, breaking the silence before dawn.

"Come on, wait..."

Abigail got up vaguely from the bed and opened the door in his pajamas.

"... what... Is it?"

"There are some accidents in Hogwarts, and I must go back immediately." Maka stood in some dark corridors and quickly warned, "Abigail, I left you a means of protection. During my absence, Sirius asked you to take care of it. In addition, don't leave here as far as possible, okay?"

Just now, Maka, who was leaning against the chair beside Sirius's bed, closed her eyes and took a nap, suddenly felt a slight tingling on her left forearm.

He drew a magic mark there. If another mark matched with it was damaged, the one on his arm would immediately burn to warn him that there was a problem in the place he was monitoring.

At present, the watcher he sent was his owl MafA, and the place it monitored was Hogwarts.

That's why he didn't immediately go back to check the situation when he heard greenward's "kindness" remind him. Because he had MafA staring at it a long time ago.

"Er... Ah, OK, OK."

In Maka's serious tone, Abigail soon woke up and nodded quickly.

"I'll come back here as soon as I'm done."

Maka motioned to her, then her figure twisted and soon disappeared in front of Abigail.

……

Five o'clock in the morning in New York, which is exactly ten o'clock in London time. That was the time when Professor sprott, who arrived in time after Hagrid's three headed dog, Luwei, wrapped the devil's net into a "wool ball".

However, it was not the horse man who went out of the forest and Luwei who made the owl MafA peck the foot ring and destroy the magic mark to remind Maka.

Maka told it that the warning standard was that hostile creatures, including wizards, appeared in a critical situation within the scope of Hogwarts School court.

The so-called "school court" only extends to the lawn around the castle. Neither the horse man nor the three headed dog Luwei has taken even one step of the forest ban.

Just ten minutes before Maka appeared at the school gate, somewhere outside the forbidden forest.

"Oh -" Luna said vaguely, "the devil's net."

"HMM... is this dark vine called 'devil's net'?" Helen looked at the terrible plants that had covered the whole forest in front, and seemed to be afraid to say, "this name doesn't sound very friendly!"

"Really?" Luna said, sitting on the ground with her head tilted. "I guess they just like close relatives - they won't tighten up as long as they don't move."

As she spoke in a trance, she stretched out her delicate white hand and shook it beside the black vines that could stop at her feet. The devil vine immediately sensed the smell of creatures. The black vine suddenly explored, and Helen pulled her hand back.

It seems that the scope of spread here is already the limit. When the devil vine lost its target, it moved around for a while, and then drooped back to the ground.

"Do you want to be strangled by them?" Helen blinked. "I think it's better not."

Before the voice fell, Luna suddenly found that her left field of vision suddenly lit up, and then she felt a strong blow hit her side. Luna, who was still sitting on the ground, was suddenly unstable and pushed into the vast devil's net.

Those black vines were impacted, immediately surging up, and wrapped all over Luna's body in the blink of an eye.

Helen, who was squatting next to her, quickly flashed aside, and the soft expression on her face was suddenly cold, but then it turned into panic.

"I can't see it anymore, Miss Shane." a voice suddenly sounded behind a tree trunk, with a trace of disdain in the tone. "Friendship? Love? It's boring!"

Helen pursed her lips and stared in the direction of the sound without saying a word.

"What's the matter? Why don't you talk? If you don't work well, someone will be angry!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the man hiding behind the tree took a step aside, turned and walked slowly towards this side. The thin figure and the temperament show each other's identity.

"Socaradis?" Helen called out his name.

"Hmm?" sokas frowned slightly. "Don't call me by that stupid name! What's the matter with you? You've been talking nonsense to the target for so much time just now... I'm impatient enough to just watch."

"I... I don't understand what you're talking about..." Helen took another step in fear, only a few steps away from the bushes behind her.

Sokas narrowed his eyes and looked at Helen with a cold hum. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but before he could say it, he immediately changed his face and hurried away.

In the next moment, a red light almost wiped his arm, flew past, hit the trunk behind him heavily, and burst out a spark.

"Are you all right, Helen?"

In the bushes behind Helen, two people suddenly came out, but Hermione and Ron were going to get here. It was Hermione who shot a disarming spell just now.

"Tut," said sokas impatiently, "what's the matter? Shouldn't you go to the bigger three headed dog? How could you come here? It's not your turn in my plan!"

"Marca's right. You're a dangerous guy," Hermione looked at him cautiously with a magic wand in her hand. "But your brain doesn't seem to be enough - we want to go over it, but how can we go over there with such a big devil's net?"

Sokas was annoyed by Hermione's two words, but he glanced at it from the corner of his eye, but he had to admit that it was his mistake.

But who could have thought that a professor would spread such a large devil's net? From the beginning, this was not in his plan at all.

"Hum, it doesn't matter..." sokas pressed down his anger and said, "it's just a small mistake. It doesn't matter to the whole plan... There are many obstacles!"

"Armor!" Hermione responded quickly, "split!"

Sokas immediately dodged again and hid behind a tree to avoid Hermione's spell.

"Ron, get out of here with Helen!" Hermione didn't look back.

"But --" Ron! "

Hermione resolutely stopped Ron from pushing off. She stared carefully ahead and urged Ron to speed up.

"Hermione!" Helen said suddenly, "Luna - Luna was pushed into the devil's net by that guy!"

"Luna?"

Hermione was stunned. She subconsciously turned her head to the side and soon saw Luna entangled all over her body. But at the moment when she was distracted, a silent spell came at her side very suddenly.

Because she didn't know what spell the other party was casting, Hermione rushed aside decisively and dodged in time for insurance.

But because the concealment of the silent spell was too high, although she barely avoided the direct attack of the spell, she also fell to the ground.

If another spell strikes her, she will be just a living target.

"... the flames are blazing."

The chanting sound is not a boy's voice... Is it Luna?

"Damn it! This madman set fire in the forest!" in the midst of a fire, sokas had to give up the spell and roll away from the range of the fire in a hurry.

At the same time, the devil's net that trapped Luna quickly retreated because of fear of fire and returned her freedom.

"Oh, Luna! Thanks --" faint! "

Sokas, who was out of the fire, didn't give Hermione time to talk. He interrupted her with another spell.

"Float off!"

Luna, who escaped from the devil's net, swept away her usual trance and saw that she manipulated the floating spell quite skillfully and pushed Hermione aside.

"Two people? Hum, today I'll let you understand what is the strength gap!" sokas fiercely vented his anger, gnashing his teeth and said, "flying sand and stones!"

"Armor!"

Seeing that the tip of the other party's wand pointed to herself, Luna immediately waved her wand. But the power of the other party's magic spell was really unusual. Even if she was offset by most of the impact, she still sat down on the ground.

"All petrified!" Hermione rushed to help, but unexpectedly, sokas avoided her spell flexibly again.

It seems that he and Maka have some similarities in terms of the concept of wizard duel. Sokas also believes that the ability of the body is also one of the weapons for wizards to fight.

"Powder body is broken -" there are many obstacles! "

Luna's spell stopped sokas's action very accurately. Then without hesitation, she raised her legs and ran quickly towards Hermione.

"... go."

She grabbed Hermione, who wanted to continue fighting, and dragged her into the bushes behind.

"That man is very powerful. It's hard for us to deal with him."

"Want to run!"

The effect of obstacle spell is only a few seconds. According to the magic strength of both sides, this number may even be shortened to a certain extent.

Soon, sokas, who broke free from the shackles, had caught up with them in the direction they fled.

"Find someone."

A burst of fierce running, just as the panting two people were about to reach the edge of the forbidden forest, Luna pushed Hermione away.

"Armor!"

Just at the moment when Luna reluctantly released an iron armor spell in front of her, a violent spark exploded on the invisible shield wall. With a strong impact, she also fell out of the boundary of the forbidden forest.
