if i am not me

Ron felt that the air around him had frozen, and the screams and explosions that would have reached his ears from time to time had moved away from them at some point.The surrounding area was terribly quiet. If he could not hear his own breathing, Ron almost thought he was in a completely closed environment.

The sweaty palms made him almost unable to grasp the wand steadily, and rubbed it on his pants, but Ron didn't dare to relax in the slightest.He wanted to call Neville, but shut his mouth at the critical moment.Because he remembered what Draco and Harry had said to them during training:

In an unbalanced contest between the enemy and the enemy, if you don't know the opponent's position, it is unwise to make a sound.Because that will not only expose yourself, but also allow the enemy to catch the flaws that you may show when you speak.

Neville also remembered what Harry and the others had said, so he, who was originally restless, stabilized his figure, and after calming down, he relaxed his breathing as much as possible, so that he could blend in with the night.The boundless darkness in the forest undoubtedly gave them the best cover, but at the same time it also made it impossible for them to search for the sneak attacking figure.

They never thought that the previous training would come in handy so quickly, but at this moment, the two had to admit that every word Harry and Draco said had benefited them a lot, at least, they It doesn't seem so passive anymore for a while.

But their opponents were obviously more calm than them. Gradually, Ron felt that the hand holding Hermione began to feel a little numb.The air was so condensed that he almost suffocated him, but the person who had sneaked up on Hermione still didn't move, which made him wonder whether the person had left.

However, just when their nerves were about to relax, suddenly, a small whisper sounded out.Then, a milky white light quickly shot towards the bush where Ron was.

Although he had been prepared for a long time, Ron obviously did not expect that the other party had accurately located his position. Taking into account Hermione in his arms, he could only roll on the ground in embarrassment to avoid the vital point, but he was still caught by the white light. The thigh hit made him let out a muffled grunt unconsciously.

The development of the situation was conveyed to Neville by Ron's painful moans in an instant.The boy could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, tried his best to restrain the roar in his throat, and ran out of the hiding place quickly.Quickly running to where Ron and Hermione were, Neville waved his wand and chanted the spell loudly: "Impedimenta (obstacles)"

The Obstacle Curse appeared in front of the already injured Ron and Hermione in time, forming a barrier. Although that one barely resisted the second wave of white light, this time was enough for Ron to adjust his posture and fight back.

Facing the blue-white light that came for the third time, this time Ron was no longer as helpless as before. Now he can't chant silently, so he can only shout aloud: "Protego (armor body protection) )!”.

Fortunately, he practiced well at ordinary times, and the spell successfully resisted the third wave of attacks, but the huge impact force still made him fly out.The moment his back hit the tree trunk, Ron understood that the first two times were just temptations, and this time was the real attack.Feeling that all the viscera have shifted, Ron's throat felt sweet, but he was also glad that the spell just now resisted part of the magic power, otherwise, he would not have suffered such a small injury now.

"Stupefy (faintly)!" With an angry roar, a red light shot out from Neville's wand, pointing directly at the direction where the spell was cast just now.This was the offensive spell he was most proficient at so far, but the black figure dodged Neville's attack with just a slight sway, showing the weakness of this spell.

Let out a piercing sneer, the man seemed to no longer intend to play the game of cat and mouse, and there was another murmur that made people's ears grow, and a red and purple light shot at the man who had finally climbed from the ground with lightning speed. from Ron.And Ron seemed to be able to sense the other party's intentions at this time. The wet and sticky touch on his legs and the burning internal organs let him know how much the attack had hurt him, and at the same time, he also understood the other party's intentions— — Next, he might never get another chance to raise his wand.

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Ron's mind.

He chooses a defensive spell to protect himself, but the result is that he continues to vomit blood and continues to achieve nothing; he chooses the disarming spell, which has a [-]% chance of success, and the probability is so slim that he doesn't have the courage to make this bet; and in the end s Choice……

The moment he saw the red light shooting at him, Ron raised his arms desperately and gave up his defense.Suddenly, a dazzling white light shot from his wand to the sky above the forest. While the red light tore himself apart, it also illuminated the entire forest, sending a signal for help.

Looking in disbelief not far from him under the bright light, Ron's blood-stained body was shown in front of the unsuspecting Neville with scars like scratches on his blood-stained body. I could barely hold the wand in my hand.

"Hmph, damned red-haired dog!" Apparently, he didn't expect Ron to be able to send out a distress signal. The visitor cursed the red-haired boy who disrupted his plan angrily, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.But he knew that someone would come here soon, so at this moment he could only leave the lifeless brat behind, turned to Neville, who seemed stunned, and cast a Stunning Charm.

However, Neville had been alert for a long time. He knew what Ron was doing this for, so he mobilized all the strength in his body and quickly rushed to the bushes beside him.

One hit failed, the visitor frowned a little anxiously, and the naked fierce light in his eyes no longer concealed, the same red-purple light as when he hit Ron just now flew towards Na who was hiding in the bushes. Wei, so that he has no time to dodge.

The feeling of being torn apart caused Neville's thinking to come to a standstill for an instant. Apart from the pain, he seemed unable to feel anything else - even if he fell hard to the ground, it was not as good as the hole in his chest. The pain of bloody cut flesh.

Neville knew he couldn't admit defeat, but slowly, his head seemed to be spinning with the pain.But this did not prevent him from hearing the strange whisper of the visitor.

"I caught him, master... haha... I caught him..."

Master... the word brought back memories of Neville's first grade, the person Kino said... the person who made him hate him to the extreme.

Struggling to keep himself from falling into a coma, Neville already understood this person's purpose in his heart.Yes, this man came to catch him, and Ron and Hermione were just implicated by him.

The sound of the man's footsteps stepping on the rotten leaves could already be heard in his ears, which made Neville shiver from the bottom of his heart. This feeling of powerlessness made him startled and angry, and at the same time, he began to feel deeply afraid.The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the despair in Neville's heart was getting deeper and deeper. Is this the end?

Feeling that the wand in his hand was taken away, Neville wanted to tighten it but found that he was powerless. This move was just to attract the other party's disdainful sneer.

"Flagrate (flag appears)." With difficulty opening his eyes a little, Neville seemed to see some green light shooting into the sky, faintly showing its ferocity in the night sky.

"Expelliarmus (expelliarmus)!" Suddenly, after a loud "Boom!", an angry shout brought back Neville's sanity, which was almost dissipated, and a lot of voices rang in his ears, and it sounded like It was as if someone was fighting fiercely beside him.After an unknown amount of time, the surroundings became quiet again with a loud noise. In a daze, he felt as if a soft light enveloped his whole body, and the pain also eased a lot.

"Boy, it's all right!" The magnetic voice said lightly and reassuring words, feeling the kindness from the other party, Neville knew that they were saved, and at the moment of letting go, all his consciousness could no longer be controlled fell into darkness.

The forest fell into silence again, and the noise before was as ethereal as a dream.Harry stared blankly at the bright starry sky from among the treetops, his faintly white fingers almost sank into the flesh, but he also tightly fixed the wand in his hand, without any intention of letting go.

Thinking of the feeling when the tracking spell was blocked, Draco also closed his eyes and took a deep breath.But the slightly cool air entered the lungs, but it couldn't take away the depression in my heart.Sure enough, Harry's uneasiness was not without reason. This world was far different from the world Harry knew.Draco evoked a wry smile, who would have thought that Voldemort's men would be so crazy that they would come directly to Neville?

Apparently Harry was thinking the same as him, he never thought that Barty Crouch Jr., the Death Eater who taught him a lot in the fourth grade, this time did not approach around the bush like before, but chose to A direct and powerful plunder.He took advantage of the right time and place this time, if it wasn't for the distress signal, I believe he would have successfully sent Neville to Voldemort by now.

Looking at the starry sky with deep green eyes, complicated thoughts kept pouring out of his mind, making it difficult for him to breathe.Suddenly, he was drawn into a warm embrace, and Harry looked at Drake in surprise, seeing him raise his hand to caress his lips, only then did he know from the tingling feeling that he had bitten the corner of his mouth.Sighing softly, "Draco..." He called out his name, as if this could fill something suddenly vacant in his heart.

"It's better to let them suffer a little now than to be calculated and be ignorant in the future." Deliberately speaking in a relaxed tone, Draco didn't want Harry to think that it was all his mistake.Although he didn't say anything, Draco understood the emotion he inadvertently revealed. "And they're all right now, aren't they? Go to St. Mungo's for a few days and they'll be alive and kicking again."

There was warmth in his chest. It turned out that Harry was completely submerged in his arms. This kid always made such coquettish behaviors inadvertently. "Draco, we must become stronger!"

Listening to the muffled words, the firm look in Zhanlan's eyes was not at all like that of a 14-year-old boy.Tightening the strength of his arms, Draco absorbed the body temperature from Harry, and while silently swearing, he nodded firmly, "En!"

They'll get stronger, for sure.

"By the way, who is that person?" Thinking of Harry's stop because of that person's appearance, Draco intuited that Harry knew, even familiar with the person who appeared next to Neville a second before them.The man's powerful magic power and superb fighting skills all made Draco feel admiration and curiosity.

Still buried in Draco's arms, Harry, who was at ease, closed his eyes and listened to Draco's steady heartbeat, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You know his name...that's my godfather, Sirius Black."
