Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure
Page 678
Ivan never thought that Dumbledore would look like this.
The mighty wizard has reached the end of his life, and he is now waiting for death!
Ivan still remembers the last conversation between him and Dumbledore on the tower of Azkaban.
"Professor, are you ready to face death?"
"Of course, I just need to make more sense of it now," said Dumbledore lightly, "Death isn't scary, Alvin, it's actually like going to bed at last after a long day. And, to the sane, death is but another great adventure. We should meet Death as old friends meet, and go away gladly with him as equals."
"Then will you come back then?"
"Maybe, I might choose to keep going."
"We will miss you, Hogwarts cannot live without a headmaster."
"Hogwarts can continue for thousands of years because of the will it inherits, inherited from the unique qualities of the four founders, not because of a specific wizard." Dumbledore said slowly, closing his eyes, "We I will win in the end, Alvin, I am too tired, let me rest for a while now, there is still a lot to do."
About 10 minutes later, Ivan, Harry, and Dumbledore returned to the dark road in Hogsmeade Village. The warm summer wind hit their faces, and the thick fog and the smell of the sea disappeared. She was extremely embarrassed, and her clothes were dripping with water.
There was silence all around, and the night was very dark.
In the distance, a few street lamps and a few lit upstairs windows were the only sources of light.
"Wake up, professor, we're back!" Ivan took a deep breath and said.
"Go back to the castle...Remember, what I need is...Professor Snape..." Dumbledore opened his eyes, his condition was far from better than before, "Bring Severus..."
"We'll take you back now and help the professor, Harry!" Ivan said, and the two of them had just helped Dumbledore out of the alley when they heard footsteps.
Madame Rosmerta ran toward them down the dark street in plush high-heeled slippers and a silk dressing gown embroidered with dragons.
Ivan pointed the wand at her, paused slightly, and put it down again.
"I saw you apparating when I drew the bedroom curtains just now! Thank goodness, thank goodness, I don't know what to... Hey, what's going on with Albus?" She stopped, her eyes widened, and she looked down at the Dumbledore.
"He's hurt," Alvin said.
"There's been an accident, and we're going back to Hogwarts." Harry continued, "Mrs. Rosmerta, can you please..."
"No, you can't go back to Hogwarts now." Madam Rosmerta said quickly, "Didn't you find out, didn't you see it?"
"See what? Rosmerta, what happened?" Dumbledore looked up.
"Dark, Dark Mark, Albus." She pointed to the sky in the direction of Hogwarts.
Ivan, Harry, and Dumbledore looked around, and it was indeed there, hanging above the school: the dazzling green skeleton with a snake-like tongue sticking out of its mouth.Whenever Death Eaters break into a building, wherever they kill someone, leave a mark like this...
Harry's eyes widened suddenly, filled with fear.
Ai Wen narrowed his eyes, and the scheduled script started!
"The Dark Mark, when did it appear?" Dumbledore asked, struggling to stand up, grabbing Harry's shoulder painfully.
"Must have been a few minutes ago, the cat wasn't there when I let it out, but when I got upstairs..."
"We need to go back to the castle immediately," said Dumbledore, who was using his will to control his body. "Rosmerta, we need transportation, broomsticks..."
"I have it behind the bar, and I can use it for the three of you!" Rosmerta said, her expression terrified, "Abus, do you want me to run and get it?"
"No, Harry can do it."
Harry immediately raised his wand, "Rosmerta's broom is coming!"
A second later they heard a loud bang and the front door of the bar was thrown open.
Chapter 1510 Plans and Changes
The three broomsticks whizzed into the street, chasing each other to Harry's side.
Then, they suddenly stopped at waist height, trembling slightly.
"Rosmerta, please send a message to the Ministry of Magic." Dumbledore said, riding on the broom closest to him, "Ivan, Harry, put on your invisibility cloak, we are going faster !"
Ivan, like Harry, took out the invisibility cloak from his pocket and put it on, then rode on his broom.
He felt that he didn't need this thing, but if tonight's script went smoothly and the enemy mistakenly thought that Dumbledore was alone, then he'd better pretend he wasn't there, at least let those Death Eaters think that Dumbledore was alone. Lido is alone when he returns to school.
Mrs Rosmerta was already stumbling towards her bar when the three of them took to the air.
The three broomsticks flew swiftly towards the castle, Dumbledore's long silver hair and beard fluttered in the night sky behind him, and the Dark Mark above the castle also fluttered, and the terrifying skeleton swelled like a poisonous bubble .
Inside Hogwarts, the plan is proceeding according to the predetermined trajectory.
After they left, Draco Malfoy finally fully repaired the Vanishing Cabinet, summoned Death Eaters and werewolves, and let them enter Hogwarts.
Dumbledore knew about this a long time ago, he knew everything from Snape, from Malfoy's strange behavior this semester and Ivan's reminder.
That's why he chose to take Ivan and Harry to Azkaban tonight.
Dumbledore intends to make everything clear and strive to create more favorable conditions after he leaves.
In other words, he wanted Voldemort to think he was really dead!
Killed by a Death Eater, preferably by Draco Malfoy.
This is the task Voldemort gave him, and he is also the most suitable one to do it, but he is too young and not so depraved to bear this crime at all.
So, Dumbledore chose Snape.
Letting Snape kill him can at least help Snape gain Voldemort's trust. As for the guilt of killing Dumbledore...Since Snape has endured so much, for the sake of a nobler interest, he will do something Make the right choice, even if it's hard!
Ivan followed Harry and flew towards the castle. He was thinking about these messy things in his head, and he had repeatedly cleared up the cause and effect. Then he thought of Hermione and Elaine, and he didn't know what happened to them, did he know? Know that the Dark Mark appeared over the school.
He believed that Dumbledore had made all the preparations, but if something unexpected happened...
While Ivan was starting to worry, Harry was also worried.
He didn't know the complete plan and the cause and effect. Tonight's events became more and more unexpected, Azkaban, the evil god, the despicable Haierbo, the North Sea monster, the magic of the two snakes, death, and Dumbledore was about to leave. Going to the fact that the Dark Mark above the castle, wouldn't anyone be dead already? !
Also, what happens next? !
The three of them flew successively through the dark, winding alleys that they had walked through before, and the evening wind whistled by their ears.
Beyond the sound, Dumbledore was whispering something again in some strange language, and his broom trembled for a moment as they flew over the wall and into the field: Dumbledore was unlocking the Those spells around so they can get into the school quickly.
The walls were deserted, and the doors leading to the spiral staircase inside the castle were closed.
There was no sign of struggle, no struggle, no dead body in sight.
In the sky above, the Dark Mark is on the commanding heights of the castle, and the sky above the Astronomy Tower is shining.
This shows that someone summoned it in that place.
Without hesitation, Dumbledore flew directly towards the Astronomy Tower.
Ivan and Harry also followed, and then, he heard a piercing roar!The sound came from near the Gryffindor Tower, and it sounded like the howling of a wolf, but it was not quite the same. It can only be said that someone was imitating the howling of a wolf with an ugly voice.
Harsh, terrifying, with the taste of blood in the roar.
"Come out, Irwin Mason!" A man roared loudly, spreading far away in the middle of the night, waking up the entire castle.
This time, Ivan heard clearly that the owner of the voice was Fenrir Greyback.
This terrible werewolf!
He also came to Hogwarts tonight, and he was looking for Ivan in the castle.
He didn't seem to care about Malfoy's plan, he came here to avenge Ivan, and hatred blinded his eyes.
Perhaps, he conjured the Dark Mark.
After all, if Malfoy can help the Death Eaters sneak into Hogwarts, their wisest choice is to sneak into Dumbledore's office instead of conjuring the Dark Mark above the castle and shouting Everyone woke up and told everyone they were coming.
What good would it be, it would be bad for their plan to kill Dumbledore.
From this point of view, Fenrir Greyback was a complete fool.
Presumably, both Ivan and the Death Eaters have the same opinion on this point.
But there is no doubt that he is an extremely dangerous fool, a desperado.
Moreover, Greyback has enough deterrent power, if he breaks into the common room, the consequences...
This werewolf is much scarier than other Death Eaters, what a headache!
Ivan originally planned to stay with Dumbledore to witness the last moment, but now he can't leave Greyback alone.
Hoping there was still time, he turned his broom and flew in the direction of Gryffindor Tower.
"Take care of the professor, Harry, I have a problem to solve first."
Before Harry could answer, Ivan walked away from him.He followed Dumbledore down onto the observatory, close above his head to the green skull, its snakelike tongue gleaming sinisterly above their heads.
"Professor, Ivan... is this mark real? Someone was really... taught?" Harry stopped, and by the dim green light from the Dark Mark, he saw Dumbledore using the cloth Hands covered in dark green clutched his chest with a pained expression.
"Leave Ivan alone, he'll take care of it. I don't have time, Harry, hurry up and wake Severus up." Dumbledore said weakly but clearly, "Tell him what happened What's the matter, tell him to come see me quickly. Other than that, don't do anything, don't talk to anyone, and don't take off your invisibility cloak, I'll wait here."
Harry hesitated for a second, then hurried to the door of the spiral staircase, but he had just grasped the iron knocker when he heard running footsteps on the other side of the door.
He turned to look at Dumbledore, who motioned him to step back.
Harry stepped back, drawing his own wand.
Chapter 1511 Confrontation and Fighting
Harry held his breath as the footsteps outside the door got closer.
A Death Eater broke into Hogwarts tonight, Ivan was not here, and Dumbledore lost his magic power again, so he could only protect him. Harry tightened his wand tightly.The next second, the door was suddenly knocked open, and a person broke in, shouting at the same time, "Disarm you!"
Before Harry could react, his body suddenly became very stiff.
He felt himself staggering back against the wall of the tower, and stood there like a statue, unable to move or speak.
He didn't understand what was going on, "Ammunition" wasn't a freezing spell!
At this time, with the green light of the Dark Mark, he saw Dumbledore's wand draw an arc in the air and fly out of the wall, and he understood...
Dumbledore immobilized Harry with the Silent Charm, and the second it took him to cast the spell deprived him of any chance of protecting himself.
But Harry didn't understand, why did Dumbledore freeze himself?
His current magic power is very precious, and all of it is contending with the power of the Double Snake Staff, why use it on himself? !
At this time, Dumbledore stood there with his back against the wall, his face pale, but he still showed no panic or worry.
He just looked at the man who had disarmed him and said calmly, "Good evening, Draco."
Malfoy pressed a few steps forward, looking around quickly to see if there was anyone else besides himself and Dumbledore, his eyes falling on the second broom.
"Who else is here?"
"I was just about to ask you this question, are you acting alone?"
In the green light of the Dark Mark, Harry saw Malfoy's pale eyes fixed on Dumbledore again.
"No," he said. "I have my back. Death Eaters broke into your school tonight."
"Very well," said Dumbledore, as if Malfoy had shown him an ambitious project plan, "you figured out how to get them in, didn't you?"
"That's right!" Malfoy said, his breathing a little short, "I let them in, right under your nose, and you never noticed!"
"How ingenious, indeed beyond my expectations, but not in this respect." said Dumbledore. "In fact, I heard a roar in the air just now, which sounded terrible and harsh. It seems that this The visitor had a bad temper. Well, if I heard correctly, it was Fenrir Greyback's voice. Frankly, I'm shocked that you invited him to your Come to the school where your friends live."
"I didn't, I, I cooperated with him, but I didn't know he was coming." Malfoy panted, his expression was like a child who made a mistake, and then a flash of stubbornness flashed, "He came to find Mason took revenge, the others..."
"Sorry to interrupt you!" said Dumbledore gently. "May I ask, where are the others you mentioned, your friends? You seem to be alone."
"Hmph, they encountered the guards you arranged, and they are fighting below." Malfoy said, "But it won't take long, the people who came tonight far exceeded your arrangement... I will come up first, I, I have a job to do."
"Okay, then you do it, my dear boy."
Silence, silence, long silence!
Malfoy hesitated, and the hand he raised his wand seemed to be weightless.
Harry was imprisoned under his Invisibility Cloak, unable to move his body, his eyes fixed on the two men in front of him, his ears intently listening to the distant sounds of Death Eaters fighting.
Aiwen has been separated from them for a while, he should meet Fenrir Greyback, as long as he persists, he will rush over.Although Dumbledore said he was leaving this world, Harry couldn't see why the headmaster should die at Malfoy's hands.
As long as he persists for a while, Aiwen knows that they are here, and there is still hope.
Malfoy just stared blankly at Dumbledore, he didn't seem to have the courage to do it...
