HP solves the mystery

It was almost dusk outside, and the lights of the magnificent hotel had already been turned on, which was obvious against the dimness.

Severus frowned and looked for a while, becoming more and more frightened. The black spot was a wizard in black robes, and there were more than one. At this time, the wands in their hands were still issuing spells, and there was no explosion in the place they passed. Even when buildings collapse, the number of injured and screaming people is gradually increasing.

His pupils shrank, it was Death Eaters riding broomsticks bombing Muggle neighborhoods! And the closer you get to the bank, the more chaotic it becomes.

Severus thought about the unsolved cases that Penny had said about in the city center and the theft of bank vaults, and wondered whether they were involved.

"Severus, are they wizards too? How could they..." Petunia covered her mouth that was about to scream and watched as the spell from the wand hit the pedestrians running on the street.

The Muggles would fall to the ground and howl, and the Death Eaters would laugh triumphantly.

They indulged in killing, as if this could show their strength.

The conspicuous hotel was placed at the end by the Death Eaters, who wanted to use the collapse or explosion of the hotel as a final carnival. They just cast a spell on the top floor, saw the people inside screaming, and excitedly harassed the people who received the alarm. The police are coming.

Severus pursed his lips and looked at the people gradually leaving. He was somewhat thankful that the floor of the hotel they were on was not too high and it was not too late to hide now.

"Penny, those are Death Eaters, let's find a safe place to hide first!" He pulled Penny back and soon returned to the hall, following his memory to find the direction of the door to the safe passage.

The safe passage was at the diagonal corner near the main entrance, and Severus and the two of them were some distance away from it.

Everyone in the hall fled in panic, tables and chairs were overturned, and wine and food were scattered on the floor. It took them some time to get to the place.

The big lock on the door of the safe passage locked the door tightly. Penny thought she could escape, but in the end she might as well have fought for the main entrance with Helen and the others.

"What can we do! Are we going to be trapped?" Penny looked anxiously at the crowds of people crowded at the main entrance of the hall and the swaying building.

"Don't worry, let me think about it. We must escape from the hotel and hide as soon as possible. Those Death Eaters are not good people." Severus touched the big metal lock, feeling uneasy inside. You must know that Death Eaters He has also killed many mixed-blood wizards, not to mention having Petunia by his side.

Penny took a deep breath and looked for something among the scattered tables and chairs.

"Alajo..."

"Bang bang! Bang bang bang!" The door lock was violently split open.

"Okay, don't wait, let's go!" Penny took a fire ax and chopped the lock ring a few more times before kicking the door open. She was glad she wasn't wearing high heels.

Severus rubbed his nose and followed, holding his wand in protective mode, and added a few more protective spells to himself and Petunia.

After walking for a while, several people followed behind them.

Penny looked back and saw that it was Helen and the others who were at the main entrance. They were all disgraced at the moment, and there were still traces of fire on their clothes.

"Quick, run, the passage over there is on fire!" Helen shouted to them while holding up her skirt. The high heels on her feet had long disappeared, but she ran very fast.

Next to her was the equally embarrassed Jack, his handsome face full of panic.

"It's really terrible, it's incendiary bombs and bombs! Those KB elements! I want to tell Uncle Hand to arrest them all!" Jack said bitterly, running faster, keeping Penny and the two far away Left behind.

Severus heard what Jack said and silently praised it in his heart, hoping that he would do what he said.

"Severus, where are we going now? We are surrounded by the Death Eaters you mentioned... Where can we find a safer place..." Petunia rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and said with a shaking voice.

Severus took off his coat and put it on Petunia, and gave her the stun device in his pocket.

Petunia thanked her and folded her coat.

They had now run out of the side door of the hotel and were struggling to walk through the ruined streets, avoiding the Death Eaters.

"Petunia, did you read the newspaper earlier? Did the news say how long it took those people to rob the vault?" Severus asked the question in a confused manner, and then used his wand to cast a soft spell on the two of them. And armor protection.

"Well, let me think about it," Penny racked her brains to remember, "it seems like twenty minutes, or maybe half an hour..."

Severus looked at his watch. It had been eighteen minutes since he saw the Death Eaters, and according to Petunia, they didn't want to kill Muggles, but just tortured them with magic spells.

"How about we go to the nearest air-raid shelter now!" Penny said without thinking. After all, the air-raid shelter will not be found and collapsed so easily.

"No, you go to the nearest police station and hide. Their target is the vault! The air-raid shelter is too far away. It's too late." Severus looked at the gray sky and said quickly, "As long as you can hide for half an hour. , they should evacuate.”

Petunia thought about what Severus had said before that the robbery of the vault was related to the Death Eaters in the wizarding world. Combined with the newspaper she had read before, she touched the electric shock device in her hand and agreed with Severus' conclusion.

"But..." Penny was a little worried and hesitated.

"The Aurors will come to help, Petunia. As long as you hide well, you will be safe!" Severus pursed his lips tightly, hoping that the Aurors would not wait for everything to be resolved like in the TV series. Yes, it's long overdue.

When Petunia was about to ask what an Auror was, she saw Severus making a shushing gesture, and she shut up.

There was a faint burst of laughter in the sky, and the relaxed atmosphere became tense again.

Severus hurriedly pulled Petunia and hid in the corner, and a Death Eater on a broomstick passed by quickly.

They quickly climbed into a relatively intact house on the side to hide, and the next moment the Death Eater passed by quickly.

After a while, Severus thought it was safe, and when he was about to continue walking with Petunia, the sound of messy footsteps sounded not far away.

Then there was the sound of rapid breathing. Someone was sitting in the corner where they had been hiding, holding their breath as hard as they could, as if they were also avoiding someone.

"It should be nearby. He can't run far if he's injured!" A rough male voice sounded not far away.

"Look carefully! Don't let that troublesome Auror go!" Another slightly sharp voice came out.

"Yes! He has ruined so many things for us! Kill him! I will cut his legs first! Hahahaha!" The younger brother echoed at the top of his voice, laughing like an old goat.

The voices had a strange accent, but the harshness could be heard. The wands in their hands cast spells on the surrounding buildings indiscriminately.

There was a big hole in the house where Severus and the others were hiding, and the curse almost hit him.

He shook his head at Petunia, looking coldly at the Death Eaters in black robes, calculating whether he could defeat three Death Eaters with one person, oh, or a seriously injured Auror?

But before his idea could be put into action, the Auror was discovered.

The three Death Eaters were very excited, and the tips of their wands were pointed at the Auror.

"A, don't play to death all at once, use the Crucifixion to cut out the bones and torture slowly!" The rough voice said maliciously, and then said, "The Crucifixion to cut out the bones."

The rest of the people remained silent, presumably in agreement.

The green light flashed over there, and the three Death Eaters laughed wildly, mixed with the Auror's weak cry of pain.

Severus' palms were sweating as he clenched his wand. He wanted to save others but he was also in danger. If exposed, looking at the postures of these three Death Eaters, both he and Petunia would die.

I was struggling fiercely in my heart, and there was another sound of footsteps.

"It's time to go, that adult will be unhappy if you take it too long!"

A harsh sound came, the sound was like fingernails scraping against glass, it was terribly unpleasant.

Penny frowned in discomfort, wondering how in the world someone could speak so harshly.

If Severus knew, he would definitely say that it might be the effect of the voice-changing spell, or it could be said to be the wizarding world's version of a voice-changer.

"Really, why should you listen to a newcomer?"

"The boss thinks too highly of him, so he just robbed him and asked us to take action!"

"It took a lot of effort to block him while he was alone. I don't know if I will have a chance next time!"

The Death Eaters with strange accents muttered a few words, but they didn't dare to let the 'newcomer' hear them, but they didn't stop moving.

"If you don't need to open the vault! I don't want to see you, go back quickly!" The harsh voice sounded again, "If you don't leave, other Aurors will arrive and you won't be able to leave even if you want to!"

Severus carefully looked through the hole and saw that the owner of the harsh voice was taller than the other three Death Eaters, wearing a black mask with only his eyes exposed.

"Hey, who are Aurors!" The rough voice sounded again, but he was a little unsure.

Severus looked at the owner of the voice. The owner of the rough voice seemed to be a dwarf. His fat and short body could be seen even through the black robe.

"Let's go!" The dwarf waved his hand, and three broomsticks flew from a distance.

The dwarf rode up, glanced fiercely at the Death Eaters wearing black masks, and then walked away with his younger brothers.

The Death Eater wearing a black mask didn't stay much, and walked in a direction very purposefully, which was obviously the location of the bank.

While walking, a pair of leather shoes with unique patterns were revealed.

Severus stared at his shoes for a long time, then looked at his watch and found that there were still five minutes until half an hour. His guess was correct. No wonder they were leaving in a hurry.

Seeing Severus in a daze, Petunia tugged at the hem of his clothes and asked with her eyes how those people were doing.

Severus came back to his senses, smiled reassuringly at her, and then nodded slightly.

Petunia breathed a sigh of relief. She was almost hit by magic just now.

After making sure that those would not come back, Severus had time to look at the Aurors on the ground.

He was curled up on the ground motionless at the moment, his face was covered by shadows, and he couldn't tell whether he was dead or alive.

"Severus, let's go see that man! If he's not dead, we can send him to the hospital as soon as possible. Don't blame us!"

Penny wiped the cold sweat from her face and urged, saying that she almost died just now and she didn't want to take another life.
