Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts.

Cedric was also confused when he met two wizards riding broomsticks in the middle of the night: How could this be a coincidence? You know, there are not many wizards in total, and it is a small probability event to meet two wizards in the sky at night.

As he didn't know the other party's origins, Cedric secretly became more alert.

"Excuse me, is that the direction to Hogsmeade?" Pisces saw the alertness on Cedric's face, so he took the initiative to speak in an attempt to lower Cedric's guard. He recognized the style of the broom the other party was riding, which was the top-level flying broom Firebolt. If he disturbed the other party, neither he nor Gemini were good at speed, so they would definitely not be able to catch up.

Before Cedric could reply, Gemini on the side exclaimed: "Fuck, are you riding a Firebolt?!"

Pisces couldn't help but slap himself on the forehead: He was really crazy to agree to team up with such a person.

In fact, if Pisces considers things from Taurus' perspective, they will understand that Gemini will definitely be sent out on a mission, and Taurus doesn't want to squeeze in a cave with him!

However, Gemini's strange behavior dispelled Cedric's vigilance. He smiled and nodded, indicating that his broom was indeed a Firebolt.

Gemini's eyes flashed with envy: he had wanted a broom like this for a long time, but he had been busy with tasks recently...

call out--

Gemini wanted to chat with Cedric for a while, but Pisces couldn't wait any longer. He suddenly attacked and cast a spell at Cedric, but Cedric dodged it easily.

"Sure enough, these two people are here with bad intentions!" Cedric suddenly realized that these two wizards who came from nowhere were probably tempted by money and wanted to rob his Firebolt.

This is a very reasonable speculation. Who would have thought that what they actually wanted to rob was people?

Pisces, whose surprise attack failed, did not show any disappointment. He waved his left hand, and the spell that had deviated from the target suddenly made a 180-degree turn and flew straight towards Cedric's broom, hitting the Firebolt under his crotch like a meteor.

Cedric was caught off guard and failed to dodge this time. After being hit, the Firebolt instantly lost control and fell to the ground.

"Hey!" Gemini cried out in distress. In his opinion, Pisces' behavior was simply a waste of resources.

"Don't worry, it's not broken." Pisces knows his colleague very well. His spell will only interfere with the Firebolt, preventing it from flying, but will not cause any damage to it. If Gemini wants it, he can just pick it up after the battle.

"Don't let that kid smash into a pulp. We have to keep his body intact." Gemini was relieved to know that Firebolt was fine. He began to shift his attention to their current mission.

"I know," Pisces responded impatiently, "Just use the Killing Curse, it won't leave any external injuries."

Cedric, who was falling rapidly, tried to restart the Firebolt, but it had no effect. After realizing that he could not do anything, he immediately began to prepare other means of self-rescue.

The terrifying feeling of weightlessness and the increasingly sharp sound of wind in his ears did not change Cedric's mood. As a veteran who had played Quidditch for three years, this little scene was nothing to worry about. The speed of descent when diving to catch the Golden Snitch during the game was several times faster than this.

He immediately began to try to communicate with the soil in the area, and cast a shock-absorbing spell on his broom, which greatly slowed down the speed of his descent.

Fortunately, he was not unlucky today. The soil in the nearby area did not have any traces of magic left by others, so he could use it. Although his control was far inferior to the soil in the dungeon, it also made Cedric feel certain.

"You see, he's quite knowledgeable." Seeing Cedric skillfully controlling the malfunctioning broom, Pisces smiled happily and said, "Jamieny, now you don't have to worry about only picking up a few pieces of broken wood."

"Let's get rid of this guy quickly and go back early. I still want to experience the legendary Firebolt." Gemini glanced at Pisces and dived directly to the ground.

Pisces curled his lips: Jamie is only motivated at times like this.

Cedric finally landed lightly on the ground, casually put the malfunctioning Firebolt aside, and holding his wand, he looked coldly at the two people who landed dozens of feet away from him.

"You two, wealth should be earned through hard work and sweat."

Pisces:?

Gemini:?

Gemini cleared his throat and told Cedric seriously that what the two of them were actually after was his body, and the broom was just a convenience.

"Don't treat us as ordinary thieves. We should be classified as dark wizards!" Gemini said in a proud tone.

Now not only Cedric, but also his partner Pisces fell silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and no one spoke, whether it was Cedric or Gemini Pisces.

Cedric took the opportunity to quietly revitalize the nearby land. He needed time to prepare, and the two weirdos in front of him actually gave him precious time.

Gemini frowned, noticing Cedric's unusual movements. He looked up in surprise, "You actually have a domain too?"

Cedric didn't answer, but Pisces looked at Cedric in surprise, and then found that there were indeed field-like fluctuations emanating from his surroundings.

"Very good. Since you have a domain, you are no longer an unknown person. I am Pisces from the Secret Order, and he is Gemini. Young man, tell me your name!"

Cedric replied in a deep voice: "Hogwarts, Cedric Diggory."

He still had a glimmer of hope that if he told them the name of Hogwarts, the two would back off. But what Cedric didn't know was that after learning that he was born in Hogwarts, Gemini and Pisces became even more determined to kidnap him.

Hogwarts has one Dumbledore, which is already a problem. If they let this guy go tonight, Hogwarts will have two wizards who have awakened their domains in a few years! And this guy is much younger than Dumbledore, so it is even more necessary to keep him here. It was really a blessing from the gods that they accidentally caught such a big fish!

"Flying sand and flying rocks!"

"Phantom haunts me!"

"Armor protection——"

Gemini and Pisces launched a tentative attack on Cedric, but he easily resolved it. The three of them fired seven or eight spells at each other, and various lights flew around in the night sky, but they could not do anything to each other.

But Gemini and Pisces were only two people after all, and they had the advantage in numbers, so Cedric soon couldn't hold on any longer.

After narrowly dodging an explosive spell from Gemini, Pisces cast a green spell that flew in front of Cedric. As a last resort, Cedric moved the soil under his feet to form a wave of soil that pushed him a foot to the side, thus barely avoiding Pisces' spell.

"I thought it was something else, it turns out to be a fake domain." After seeing how Cedric controlled the soil, Pisces laughed, "If you want to have a real domain, wait another ten years!"

"This state is enough to get rid of you!" After fighting for so long and encountering several killing moves in a row, Cedric's heart was already filled with anger. He no longer spared his magic power and directly used all his strength to drive the soil that he had activated.

All of a sudden, Cedric had the upper hand. The various animals and throwing weapons formed from the mud even made Gemini and Pisces flustered and exhausted. By manipulating the mud, Cedric's flexibility was greatly improved, and the spells of the two could not even touch the corners of his clothes.

However, Cedric also had his difficulties: he had not awakened his true domain, and could not expand the scope of influence on the soil as recklessly as his teacher. Now such a large-scale attack was extremely consuming of magic power. In less than a minute, he was a little overwhelmed and cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Cedric was anxious, and Gemini was even more anxious than him. In his opinion, it was extremely shameful to be tripped up by such a young man and even fall into a disadvantage for a time.

"Light and dark realms, open--" After blasting a flying earth cone into powder and witnessing his own counterattack spell being swallowed up by Cedric's earth wall, Gemini could no longer hold back and directly opened his own realm.

In an instant, the ground was covered by a shadow, which extended towards Cedric at an extremely fast speed.

Pisces silently took a few steps back and drew a magic circle on the ground, no one knew what he wanted to do.

When the shadow came into contact with the soil controlled by Cedric, Cedric felt that the soil he controlled was melting at a very fast speed like frost under the sun.

If this continues, the soil he has revitalized will disappear completely in a few minutes.

Cedric didn't bother to consider the consumption of magic power. He just focused on communicating with the soil and fought against the strange domain of Gemini as much as possible.

At this moment, the magic power in Cedric's body rushed out like a river bursting its dam, making his forehead covered with beads of sweat of varying sizes, and his face was completely bloodless.

Compared to Cedric, Gemini was much calmer, and his dark domain was rapidly devouring Cedric's magic to strengthen himself. Cedric, who had not awakened his true domain, was too passive when he met someone who truly possessed a domain. However, compared to someone without a domain, Cedric was still far ahead - at least he could hold on for a long time if he was just fighting Gemini.

While the two were in a stalemate, Pisces had already drawn the magic circle and wrote a circle of runes around it.

After doing all this, he stood in the center of the magic circle, raised his hand, pointed his index finger at Cedric and said -

"In the name of Hela, Queen of the Underworld, I, Pythes, curse you, Cedric Diggory!" After saying this, a trace of sickly paleness flashed across his face, and his robe was immediately wet with sweat, as if he was experiencing great pain.

Cedric felt as if his stomach had been punched hard, and there was a piercing pain. The pain made his eyes go dark and he couldn't help but hunch his body.

Gemini and Pisces worked in perfect harmony, and while Cedric was distracted, his dark domain suddenly rushed forward and climbed directly onto Cedric's shoulder.

Cedric tried his best to drive the soil to slide backwards and successfully escaped from the dark area, but his shoulders were also covered with a layer of shadow similar to the color of the dark area.

When Gemini saw that he had succeeded, he immediately smiled.

"Light!" He raised his hand, and a ray of light spread out with him as the center, instantly covering the entire area.

The light was very soft, and when it shone on the body, it would only feel warm, but Cedric let out a scream of pain, and at this moment, a soul-stirring pain arose in his shoulder.

Under the attack of the two, Cedric's control over the soil collapsed, he lost consciousness, his eyes went black and he fell to the ground.

Just when the Geminis thought they had succeeded, they discovered that Cedric had a terrifying magical fluctuation. At the same time, a bracelet on Cedric's wrist quietly turned into dust and merged into the soil under him.

The soil came alive and swallowed Cedric in one gulp as if it had given birth to life.

……

Helga opened her eyes suddenly, she felt that the magic props she left for Cedric had been triggered. She was instantly no longer sleepy, and she sat up from the bed with a grunt, she knew that Cedric must be in great danger.

The robe was automatically wrapped around her, and Helga was ready to set off in the shortest possible time. Then, without any hesitation, she forcibly took back part of the control of the castle, and then used the authority to lift the ban within the Hogwarts campus.

This time, she was not the only one who woke up. Les and Dumbledore were both awakened from their dreams by Helga's actions.

Dumbledore opened his eyes with a serious look: he didn't know what happened, but he knew that the school's ban on apparition had been lifted. His brain worked quickly and he quickly locked onto the person who was most likely to do it - Smith White.

Dumbledore sprang into action.

Les didn't hesitate at all, he wrapped the quilt around himself, and the next second he appeared in Helga's office with his wand in his hand. The quilt on his body automatically turned into a Roman robe, and his eyes were fixed on the portal that was slowly closing at the door of the Hufflepuff bedroom.

This is a special teleportation magic that they developed back then, which can allow one to be accurately teleported to a specific location. It is usually used by them as a magic prop to save students' lives.

When Les saw this teleportation magic circle, he understood why Helga forcibly lifted the ban in the middle of the night.

Given the state of Hufflepuff House, it was not easy for Helga to get a student she liked from there, so it was normal for her to be anxious.

Without hesitation, Les turned a piece of parchment on the desk into a mask and covered his face with it. Then he stepped into the portal that was gradually shrinking.

After Les walked into the portal, the portal suddenly shone brightly, expanded rapidly outward, and then disappeared.

The next second, there was a bang in Helga's office and Dumbledore appeared in the office.

Without caring to avoid suspicion, he walked directly into Professor White's bedroom and found that she had disappeared. Looking at the still warm bed, Dumbledore frowned: Sure enough, it was she who forcibly broke the school's ban, but why, who is she?

Dumbledore first reactivated the school's ban, making it impossible to Apparate here, and then began to think: the witch who returned from ancient times is good at using food magic and puppet making, has a different style of behavior, and also has some authority over the castle...
