Chapter 80 Towers struck by lightning

Recommended BGM-《Wealllie》QQ Music Station B

Hermione was right, everyone was busy again as we entered June ("Is your dad giving all of us so much homework to keep you two from going out?"), and Ginny was busy because of Dean. Thomas kept trying to interrupt him while she was busy with OWL revisions, and finally broke up with him in a rage, which put Ron in a good mood for many days.

"He is just a despicable hypocrite. He and Lavender used to stick together like a pair of eels, so he had the nerve to tell me to concentrate on his studies and stop thinking about falling in love." Speaking of his brother, he came to me and Ginny, who borrowed Hermione's notes from last year, rolled her huge eyes, "By the way, Alice, Romilda Vane didn't dare to ask you—but she really wanted to know if Harry's chest was tattooed." Got a Hippogriff."

I was choking on the mint raisin juice, and Hermione slapped me hard several times before I coughed out the grape seeds stuck in my throat.

"Why do they think Harry has a hippogriff on his chest?" My eyes widened in surprise. "Is there really? I've never heard him say—"

Ginny laughed out of breath: "Who knows where the rumors came from - but you can take a look next time, he will be willing to show you, even if the tattoo on his chest is the pygmy pampas."

"Harry is going to be locked up with Professor Snape." Hermione also laughed, "And neither Alice nor I will copy his homework, and he doesn't dare to lose his temper with us—shh, don't say that." Now, it looks like a few of them haven't finished their papers in the library."

But even after spending the whole night in the library, the expressions of the boys are not so serious.Both Hermione and I suppressed our smiles as we watched them approach, and before we could ask a question, Harry simply said, "Dumbledore asked Neville to go to his office as soon as possible."

"God," said Hermione, taking a quick look at me, lowering her voice, "he only let Neville go - why not you?"

"I don't know." Harry looked a little distressed, "He only sent a message to Neville this time, and we didn't know until we met Neville on the road—"

A pale-faced Neville appeared at the portrait hole, and he seemed to be running all the way back.Before I could stand up and evade this "Miss Snape doesn't need to participate" conversation, Neville, who was barely panting, had already supported his ribs with one hand and pointed at the boys' dormitory with one finger: "Harry... I I need to borrow your invisibility cloak, and Professor Dumbledore is taking me there—but I remember what Trelawney said to me earlier, and I'm worried..."

"I'm going to get you Felicity Elixir!" I jumped up, and hurriedly headed back to my dormitory with Harry to get things. Wei seemed to have given them a quick run through on most of the things, and a mixture of fear and awe was on everyone's faces.

"—Do you understand? Although most of what she's said in her life is nonsense, I think it's not wrong to be careful, after all, Dumbledore is not here tonight." Neville took Harry's throw A parcel to him, but a rejection of my vial of golden potion.

"I'm fine, I'm with Dumbledore." Neville showed a firm expression, "If you have to use it, you can drink a little. It would be great if you are lucky enough to let you notice the abnormality earlier!"

"Why didn't you let me go?" Harry couldn't help asking, "We spent the whole school year learning about things together—"

"I asked Dumbledore, and he said—all eggs can't be put in one basket." Neville stood up, "I think he's right, Harry."

Then he left before we could say another word, hastening through the portrait hole toward the foyer.

"We need to monitor the Room of Requirement." Harry quickly spread out the Marauder's Map. "Although Dumbledore should have informed Snape that he was leaving, I thought it best to inform him again. There are still a few A secret entrance that hasn't collapsed—Hermione, we don't have enough manpower, you can find out if those fake Galleons from last year's DA are still there, and you can call them one by one, as long as they don't mind violating the curfew school rules."

"Felix Elixir." I tried my best not to shake my hands because of the tension, and every drop of potion that fell on the carpet at this time is an irreparable waste, "I think each of us can share at least two spoonfuls. "

This is a very miraculous feeling. We didn't talk for a while after drinking the Felix Elixir. It seems that it can not only bring people luck, but also really soothe the beating of my heart at the moment.I couldn't go to Dad's office to inform him. Under the guidance of Felicia, I naturally thought of the scene where Dad locked me in the office last year so that I couldn't help, and now is the time when there is a shortage of manpower.

"Hermione, you go find my dad." I said calmly, "This way you can still have time to summon the DA members."

Hermione nodded and took Harry's Marauder's Map: "Ron, you and Tallus go to guard the door of the secret passage leading to Hogsmeade first, Ginny, you go to the statue of the hunchbacked witch." There, be careful not to be spotted by Filch—"

"You shouldn't have to worry until the Felicia has not expired." The three of them stood up, and Ron glanced at Hermione: "You should also pay attention to safety."

"You go with Ginny." Harry gave me a look. "Then I'll go to the Room of Requirement to prevent Malfoy from doing anything."

"No..." I refused softly, "Although I don't understand...but Felix Felicity sent me to the Room of Requirement...it's very important."

The two of us stared at each other for a while, and finally Harry nodded reluctantly.

Harry and I hid behind the giant monster tapestry in the hallway on the eighth floor for nearly an hour, and the surroundings were quiet, as if all the students had made an appointment not to go out tonight, and the whole school was shrouded in an abnormal dead silence.Where did Dumbledore take Neville at this moment?Will the two of them be in danger?I am disturbed to realize that if this continues, the effects of Felicia will wear off, but there is still a voice in my head telling me to stay here and wait...

Endless waiting... I heard very light, deliberately concealed footsteps——

"There are many obstacles!" Before I could react, Harry had already lifted the tapestry and rushed out. There was a sound of something exploding not far away, and the entire corridor suddenly became pitch black.All I could hear was the sound of someone falling, probably Harry, but neither fluorescent flashes nor flames could ignite even an inch of light that could pierce the darkness.

"Harry?" I lowered my voice as much as possible, stretched out my hand and tried to walk out of the wall, "Where are you?"

A burst of chaotic footsteps, accompanied by rough laughter suddenly came from the darkness. When I recognized Draco's voice, I felt like a huge stone suddenly appeared in my stomach.

"Follow me, only I can see the way." His voice was also tense, "Don't talk nonsense, all of you have to listen to my orders today, you are just here to help me—"

"It's because of the order of the Dark Lord, my dear Draco." I froze, and a haughty female voice very close to me answered, "In other words, he asked us to spy on you."

I couldn't act rashly, I pressed against the wall and held my breath, I don't know Harry's current location, if I cast a spell rashly now, it will not only expose myself, but also cause accidental injury, and judging from the sound of footsteps, ten people might have come out of the Room of Requirement— — It is the best choice to mix in their footsteps and slowly follow the direction they left.

"I need to be discovered." The first moment this idea appeared in my brain, I thought I had been hit by the Imperius Curse, and I instinctively wanted to resist the hint from the Felicity Potion—it was not until a long time later that I finally understood why What happened after witnessing this night was the "luck" judged by Felicia.

At the same time, my arm was suddenly pushed forward by some unknown force. When my vision was suddenly illuminated by the lights in the corridor, a green light passed me in a thrilling way. A nun behind me The painting shattered.

"Don't move, or I'll kill her right away and feed the werewolves for dinner—are you hungry, Greyback?" Rodolphus Lestrange put the tip of his wand to my throat, lazily Compassionately motioning for Harry, who appeared almost at the same time as me, to step back, "Boy...put down your wand—"

"Go!" I screamed, reminding Harry to dodge the Killing Curse from the little Death Eater, "Wake up! Go tell them, don't just stand around—"

The next second I retched, and I could no longer make any sound from my throat.Fortunately, Harry obeyed my words and disappeared into the black mist that hadn't dissipated. I don't think those Death Eaters will go after him for the time being.

"Is that Harry Potter? I should have killed him if I knew it, tsk, but don't worry about it later - there will always be a turn in the queue." Rodolphs asked, scratching my hair. "What about her?"

"I think we need to hurry." Draco gave me a deadpan look while holding up a withered skull. "Take her wand, stun her and leave her here - get out of her way!"

"No, I have a better idea." The black-haired woman with swollen eyelids came over and lowered her head to look at me carefully. The sharp nails dug deep into my cheeks, and my voice of pain was unmistakable. It made her feel very happy, "I recognized it, she is the Alice Snape mentioned by the house-elf of the Black family - she looks very similar to her mudblood mother, you have always been very Care about her, don't you? At that time, I asked the little elf a lot about her, and my aunt kept it firmly in my heart—"

"Does this have anything to do with today's events? She's no different to her dirty Mudblood mother to me now." Draco asked coldly, "As I said, we need to release the Dark Mark as soon as possible— —”

"The Dark Lord has always been worried that you couldn't make up your mind, my dear." Bellatrix said softly, raising my chin to force me to meet her eyes. What you do is about the honor of the Malfoy family, isn't it? That's also about Sissy's honor—Auntie must help you."

"I don't need it." There was a hint of panic in Draco's voice, "I've made up my mind a long time ago, the Dark Lord trusts me—"

"Then let her see what you are going to do." Bellatrix's pupils dilated with madness, "If you can't do it, I'll kill her—haha! You said she and the Mudblood It doesn't make any difference, so do you mind if I kill a filthy Mudblood, honey?"

"Whatever you want." After three seconds of silence, Draco looked away and said impatiently, "It will be troublesome when Potter informs those members of the Order of the Phoenix, hurry up."

His answer made Bellatrix smile in satisfaction, and she pointed her wand at my forehead: "Out of body."

When I finally finished resisting the Imperius Curse and regained consciousness drenched in sweat, the wind that leaked through the crack in the door of the tower quickly woke me up.My right arm was deeply cut, and my forehead and legs were aching from the scrapes, it seems that I was controlled and participated in the battle... so did I hurt anyone?But I don't have time to think about it right now, I'm standing on the astronomy tower, and I recognize the pile of binoculars piled up in the corner, that's where we stood during the OWL exam, looking out the window into the field The Mag was hit by countless red lights...

I coughed and felt a blood bubble burst in my mouth.As soon as I was pushed into the door violently, I heard Bellatrix's eager voice: "Disarm you!"

"I said so! The Dark Lord asked me to do it!" Draco let out a snarl of exasperation. "Do you want me to report to him and warn him that you no longer bother to listen to his orders?"

"I'm just helping you to make things easier." Through the long hair that obscured my view, I saw Bellatrix kick a wand down the stairs that had fallen to her feet.

"No——" I saw Dumbledore standing there with his back against the wall. His face was pale and he looked like he would faint at any moment. I had never seen Dumbledore so weak, and I couldn't even be sure that he was still awake. .Struggling to spit out a mouthful of blood, I tried to wake him up, "Professor—Professor Dumbledore—"

"Silence and silence." Rodolphs pointed at me again, and laughed amidst my desperate coughing.

"Good evening, Miss Alice." Dumbledore's eyelids trembled, and I didn't understand why he could still look at me with such a smile, "Good evening, Draco—except Lestrange here Couple, who else did you bring into Hogwarts?"

"You're dying, old man." Rodolphus grabbed my bleeding arm firmly, stopped me from throwing my wand to Dumbledore, and he spat on the ground, "Of course It's not just us, although other people have encountered a few of your guards, but it won't be too long."

There was a flashing fluorescent green light above my head, and I raised my head with great pain, and saw the dazzling green skeleton with a snake-like tongue sticking out of its mouth——Whenever the Death Eaters broke into a building, things... no matter when you kill someone... you must leave such a mark...

"You've been lied to." Draco took a step forward, it's hard to say which one is paler, Draco or Dumbledore, "I didn't expect to just say a few words like that, you just believe it. "

"That's right, my dear boy," said Dumbledore mildly over my silent scream of rage, "good people are always inclined to believe in the good side of human nature."

"You're just making excuses for your stupidity, old man Deng." Bellatrix laughed wildly, "We slipped into your school right under your nose with a pair of vanishing cabinets, killed Your people—that’s right, we have already killed a man, I stepped on his corpse, hahahahahaha!"

When I heard this sentence, my eyes widened in horror, and I even forgot to struggle for a while.There was a sound of violent collisions and people shouting from below. It seemed that several people were fighting on the spiral staircase leading to the astronomy tower.

"Don't waste time." Bellatrix waved her hand impatiently at Rodolphus, "get her up against the wall--crushing her--and now, stand in that gap, so that only the last A simple spell and she can fall."

"I don't think it is necessary to involve my innocent student." Dumbledore's weak voice showed a little anger, "As you can see, Bella, I have no strength to resist."

"Dumbledore is cornered!" The door was knocked open suddenly, and I, who was swaying in the wind, looked up hopefully, only to see four strangers in black robes flocking to Draco. The Death Eaters prevailed in the struggle below.A stout man with a strange grin on his face let out a wheezing laugh, and patted Draco on the shoulder, "Nice job! It really worked, and if he releases the Dark Mark, he can't wait to see it." Run into the trap yourself!"

Draco twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a forced smile.

"Good evening, Amycus." Dumbledore nodded at the man and the other little woman. "And you brought lovely Alecto..."

"You don't even have a wand, and you expect this little joke to save your life?" the woman sneered.

"Joke? No, no, I think it's polite." Dumbledore replied, and his body slid down a little more, as if even standing was causing him pain.

"Why haven't you done it yet?" A gray-haired man with slender limbs and a stench all over his body asked hoarsely, "I thought I could enjoy a dessert when I came up—"

"I didn't ask you to come, Greyback." Draco showed a disgusted expression, and distanced himself a little from him, "If you come here without permission and cause me trouble—"

"I really don't want to miss out on a good job at Hogwarts, and I don't think the Dark Lord will punish me." Fenrir Greyback showed his sharp teeth, and I was horrified to find that there were already Blood dripped to the ground, he reached out and picked his front teeth with his yellow nails, "So many throats that can be torn open, so much sweet blood..."

"Let's do it," snapped the fourth Death Eater with a savage face and a fierce look. "Is it true what Bella said, don't you dare, Draco?"

"No—" I finally broke through the shackles of the Silent Curse, and looked almost desperately at Draco who raised his wand, "I believe you! All of them...all of them don't believe you, I believe you ——I'll take you to see Dumbledore!"

"I told you earlier, Alice Snape." Draco didn't look at me, he stared firmly at Dumbledore's sliding body, and replied contemptuously, "You don't know anything about me." .”

"No." I wanted to walk towards him, but Rodolphus Lestrange held me firmly on the breach in the wall, and he kept pointing his wand at me, while behind me was the wind howling. Abyss, I can only shake my head helplessly, "Draco, think about it, you are not a murderer, think about it—"

"Don't you think you've said that too many times? And if I'm lucky, I've already killed someone." Draco interrupted me, sneering, "I made Ross Murta gave it to Katie Bell, and she sold the poisoned mead to Slughorn under the control of my Imperius Curse-you really don't think I'm going to die because you almost poisoned me Feeling guilty?"

"You said you would consider speaking to Dumbledore—"

"That's because I realized that you and Potter are really in the way, and this old man actually has the idea of ​​persuading me to work for him, and asked your father to tell me." The expression on Draco's face was distorted, "It's better to let you Follow me like a fly and watch me, I might as well use you in reverse, and then I will succeed. Of course my master will appreciate my loyalty, this is the honor I deserve."

"No...have mercy, Draco..." I watched him slowly raise his wand, which was shaking slightly with his hand, "have mercy..."

Another person was also chanting his name, very softly.

"Draco..."

I have never felt such despair before.Dumbledore was begging, he seemed to be unable to support the weight of his body anymore, he looked much shorter than usual, and he might have even curled up on the ground without the support of the wall.

Half of Draco's face was hidden in the shadow cast by the wall, and half of his face was pale by the light of the Dark Mark.He looked down at Dumbledore's weakened body, tears slowly rolled out of his right eye socket, and fell on his biting lips.

"Draco...please..."

Draco swallowed sharply, and wiped his cheek with his left hand indiscriminately, and when he raised his eyes again, there was nothing else in his eyes except slowly loathing and hatred.

"Avada Kedavra." A green light shot from the tip of his wand, hitting Dumbledore squarely in the chest.

At the same time, Bellatrix also fired a green light at me. I subconsciously backed away to avoid it. The green light grazed the top of my head and flew into the darkness. Laughing loudly, I stepped on the air and fell into the darkness.

Everything slowed down for a split second, and Dumbledore lingered for a second under the shiny skeleton out of the corner of my eye, then fell backwards like a big battered doll and fell over the wall crenel.I realized I was finally free from Rodolphus's restraints, and in the numbness of shock, I cast a levitation spell on myself with the instinct of survival - under the effect of Felix Felix, and someone - Neville suddenly appeared On the dark side of the tower, a spell was cast upon me to restore my balance.The moment he appeared, several green lights galloped towards him excitedly, but were blocked by the pile of binoculars he summoned.

"Not now! The Dark Lord said that Potter and Longbottom need him to finish it himself." Draco turned around, "Get out of here, hurry up!"

"Shenfeng Wuying!" The moment I stepped on the ground of the tower, I waved my wand without hesitation and pointed at his back and shouted hysterically. There didn't seem to be time to react...why did the spell brush off his shoulder and shatter the window?

"Bones to pieces! All petrified!" Neville continued to cast spells at the Death Eaters in the small space, and Bellatrix, who was dodging them, was laughing loudly, and the dust flying in the air was marked by the Dark Demon. The light shines brightly.He turned his head and took a look, just in time to meet my second silent Shenfeng Wuying Curse, at that second I even thought I had succeeded, he would be limp and lifeless under my hateful gaze fell down--

"Fall to the ground!"

The chandelier exploded in front of him, shards of glass sending the little brother and sister down and howling in agony.

"Thousands of bullets!" I was furious after discovering that Rodolphus fired another killing curse at Neville. After he was hit by countless glass shards and went down again, I took a deep breath, feeling the pain in my right hand was numb, and screamed Said: "Li Huo—"

"Alice!" The scorching fire just came out of the tip of my wand and rushed towards the place where Rodolphs fell, and Dad's face appeared behind the door that was suddenly kicked open, and he almost flew over and grabbed it. My wrist pointed to the void, and the flame that had already begun to take shape in the darkness was firmly controlled by the water net he woven with magic. When it finally went out, I spat out another mouthful of coughed up blood on the ground .

"He killed Dumbledore." I was shaking uncontrollably in Dad's arms, "I'm going to kill him... let me kill him..."

"Take her to the school hospital!" Dad yelled at another person who rushed up, "She is seriously injured, carry her - don't worry about anything else."

"I know." Harry's voice was also shaking. "The Death Eater at the door seems to have been burned to death, Professor."

Here, from the perspective of the plot, the effect of the Elixir of Bliss has been changed slightly. There is a certain discrepancy with the setting of the original book. [Subjective] lucky magic has been changed to [objective, macroscopic] luck. I don’t know if this expression can be used I can't understand, but some logical loopholes such as causality caused by the magic transformation, future foresight and global foresight of the Felicity Potion may need to be manually ignored. If this magic transformation has caused you any discomfort, I would like to express my sincere apologies. .
