[HP] Riddle's Spirit Behind

Dumbledore said quietly, "We were not friends a long time ago. You know you can't escape, Zimmerman."

"Escape? We didn't intend to escape from here." Zimmerman said.

The three men in black cloaks who were standing at the door also walked in slowly.They stood behind Zimmerman, wand-clutching hands stretched out from under the cloak.

"What do you want to do?" Dumbledore said coldly.

While they were talking, Mr. Gibson quietly let the students leave the cave one by one.

But Zimmerman was quick to spot their little tricks.

He suddenly turned around on the spot and shouted: "No one is allowed - act rashly!"

A red light shot straight at Eleanor, but passed straight through her body.

"Oh, no—" Mr. Gibson exclaimed.

Eleanor looked down at her body in a daze.Just at that moment, she seemed to vaguely feel a slight burning sensation running through her body, but that feeling disappeared quickly.

Fortunately, the spell didn't hit anyone, but just shattered a piece of china placed in the corner.

This move seemed to enrage Dumbledore, and without a word he jerked his wand up and cast a spell at Zimmerman.

"Go!" Dumbledore turned around and shouted at the students who were in a daze.Now there are only four students left, including Tom, who have not had time to leave the cave.

"Come on, boys, let's get out of here!" said Mr. Gibson, flashing an incoming spell, and looking up at Georgiana, who was standing stiff near the opening, "Cover us!"

Georgiana nodded stiffly.

Just then, a spell from Dumbledore knocked out a dark wizard.With a quick turn of his wand, he cast a powerful armor charm that deflected another.

The misdirected spell sank into Zimmerman's left chest.He cried out in pain and fell to his knees on the ground.

"Do it!" Zimmerman roared in a hoarse voice.

Georgiana, who had been motionless all this time, suddenly raised her wand and said coldly, "Avada Kedavra!"

The unsuspecting Gibson was hit by the spell, and he barely had time to let out a scream before collapsing to the ground.

Eleanor stared blankly at this scene.

This was Avada Kedavra, the spell that killed her.

Eleanor, who realized this, lost her ability to think for a while.

She looked down dully at Mr. Gibson, who was staring at the ceiling with wide open eyes.

Eleanor couldn't believe that he had died just like that, without warning.She always felt that he would jump up from the ground in the next second, but he didn't.

Suddenly, a terrified scream woke Eleanor up instantly.

Georgiana dragged a second-year girl expressionlessly and retreated towards the door.The wand in her hand stabbed the poor girl's chest so hard that the color on the girl's face was almost completely gone.

"... Well done." Panting, Zimmerman got up from the ground while supporting the writing desk, his expression became extremely horrific due to the pain.He let out a sneer wheezing from his throat, "Don't be so surprised, this brown-skinned beauty has always been our companion. She is more loyal than anyone else."

Georgiana stared at Dumbledore coldly, "Throw away the wand, if you don't want her to be hurt."

Dumbledore stared gravely at Zimmerman, then slowly lowered his wand.

"Kick your wand over now," Zimmerman ordered.

Dumbledore had to do so.

Zimmerman bent down, picked up Dumbledore's wand and played with it in his hand. "Look at you now," he sneered, "you're so stupid to give up your wand for a brat." He said, suddenly and slowly tightening Dumbledore's wand with both hands.

With a loud click, Dumbledore's wand was broken in two.

"Just in case." He smiled evilly.

...something had to be done.Eleanor thought anxiously.

The current situation is very bad for them, she thought, looking at the two students who were so scared that they could barely move.

She couldn't help but cast her gaze in Tom's direction.

He was standing near the mouth of the cave, his wand tightly gripped in the hand behind his back.He pursed his lips lightly, and his eyes were fixed on Zimmerman's direction. Apart from that, there was no trace of fear on his face.

She suddenly realized that he was the only person they could count on now.She knew he knew far more magic than a third year student.

Eleanor knew that Zimmerman's attention was completely off her right now.After all, she's just a ghost who can't do anything.

While Zimmerman was talking to Dumbledore, she quietly floated close to Tom, and then slowly lowered her height.

"Do you have any ideas?" she whispered.

Tom glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, his lips moved slightly, "Not at all."

Eleanor thought he was lying because he never let go of his wand hand.

Eleanor said softly: "Can you find a way to divert the attention of those people?"

Tom frowned slightly, and said between his teeth: "What do you want to do?"

Zimmerman didn't ask Tom and the others to throw away their wands, Eleanor thought, which showed that he didn't take these students seriously.

"I have a plan..." Eleanor whispered in Tom's ear.

"Farewell, our old friend." Zimmerman said grimly, raising his wand to Dumbledore.

"Now!" Eleanor cried out almost at the same moment.

Tom raised his wand, and his spell hit the new crystal chandelier on the ceiling with precision.The crystal chandelier wobbled and fell.

Zimmerman had to dodge and drop the chandelier in embarrassment.

With a loud bang, the chandelier smashed onto the writing table, and shards of glass scattered all over the floor.

Georgiana recovered from the shock, she turned her head, and suddenly saw the black-haired boy walking over the debris on the ground, with the wand pointed at her.

Just when she was about to issue a warning, her eyes were suddenly covered with cold pearly white.

A ghostly face watched her closely.Georgiana let out a cry of surprise.

"Damned!" A spell was shot from Tom's wand, passing through the ghost's body and hitting the girl being held hostage.

Georgiana felt the weight suddenly heavy in her arms.She had to let go, and the girl's body fell limply at her feet.

The heavy and cold breath of the ghost surrounded her, making her feel dizzy.

"Stay away from me!" Annoyed and terrified, she waved her wand in an attempt to drive away Eleanor who was entangled in her.

But another stunning spell from Tom's wand hit her.She lost consciousness and fell to the ground covered in shards of glass.

Almost at the same time, Dumbledore nimbly dodged the spell fired by Zimmerman.

He picked up Gibson's wand from the ground, raised his hand and knocked out a dark wizard who was trying to attack him.

The muscles on Zimmerman's face were shaking with rage, and he looked completely out of his mind.He raised his wand, and a searing flame erupted from the tip.

Dumbledore had to conjure a powerful stream of water to stop the flames.

"Run!" he yelled back, "Get out of here!"

He resisted the attack of two dark wizards alone, creating a gap for the students to escape here.

Tom ran out the door without hesitation, without even looking back.

Eleanor followed closely behind him.She turned her head, but didn't see anyone else running out.

They must have escaped by the mouth of the cave, Elinor thought.

They didn't see anyone from the Ministry of Magic appearing along the way, and Eleanor couldn't help feeling a little strange.It didn't take long for her to realize that they weren't the only Dark wizards who might be invading.

Soon, her hunch was confirmed.There was another dull explosion sound from somewhere, and people's shouts could be vaguely heard.

Tom stepped over the fallen wizards to the fireplace at the end of the corridor.

Fortunately, there was a bottle of Floo powder sitting on the fireplace.He lifted the lid, grabbed a handful of powder, and stepped into the fireplace.

"Be careful!" Eleanor suddenly screamed.

At some point a figure in a black cloak stood at the end of the corridor, his face hidden in the shadow of the hood.He raised his wand and cast a silent spell at Tom.

Tom quickly dodged to dodge the opponent's spell.The spell hit the bottle of Floo powder, and the bottle exploded, sending the powder flying everywhere.

Tom seemed so annoyed at being attacked from behind, he raised his wand with a jerk, "Swoon!"

But the guy quickly blocked Tom's spell with an armor charm.He snorted contemptuously, and said something in German that Eleanor could not understand.

Eleanor watched them nervously.She couldn't be sure that Tom could really defeat a grown wizard.She began to think of dealing with this man as she had done with Georgiana, but she soon found that the man was too far away for her to reach him.

Tom stared at each other coldly, and there was still no fear in his expression.

The man let out an odd sneer.He spoke again, but this time in English, "What's your name, boy?"

Tom didn't answer him, but narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the man suspiciously.

"What do you want to do?" Eleanor finally couldn't help but ask.

The man seemed to have noticed Eleanor just now.He looked up at her slightly, a strand of blond hair hanging from a gap in his hood.

"A ghost?" he said in a thoughtful tone. "That's really strange."

"What do you know?" Tom asked coldly.

The man looked down at Tom, and after a moment of silence he said, "I won't kill you, funny boy."

After he finished speaking, he took a few steps back, turned around quickly and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The author has something to say: I didn't say who that man is, you guys didn't see anything, he's really just soy sauce! 【Upright face】

Well, actually, I just wanted to write such a scene, and I couldn’t help it, so~
