Chapter 1379 Snape ran away
They appeared!
The Death Eaters patrolling Hogwarts Castle late at night noticed the hot feeling coming from the magic coin in their hands, and realized that Dumbledore's Army had really come out of the Room of Requirement and planned to go to the castle dungeon at night. to save people.
However, just when all the Death Eaters were reminded and their spirits were lifted, they still failed to receive the second reminder, which meant that they failed to catch anyone, or the enemy passed towards the dungeon.
Similar information transmission methods were modified by Snape based on the methods used by Dumbledore's Army previously provided by Malfoy.
As for the Defense Association using communication bookmarks as a delivery tool, the Death Eaters would also like to, but that thing is obviously not something that can be produced in a short time, because most Death Eaters are better at using black magic than transformation spells. Even if they Even if they threaten Professor McGonagall to help create communication bookmarks, they may not dare to use it.
“The Death Eaters seem to have discovered us.”
Halfway to the castle dungeon, Arthur noticed the red light on the side of his watch, stopped and looked sideways at his sons.
"The Death Eaters probably have some contact information." Fred and George looked at each other and were not surprised. "From the beginning, we have guessed that this is a trap. Since it is a trap, they must have quick contact. way to completely surround us."
Arthur and Bill were both very surprised by this, because the members of the Defense Association acted quite calmly about it, as if being discovered by the enemy had been expected. They were all curious about what this group of people usually did and why they seemed to be more experienced than them.
Probably sensing the surprised looks of the two men, George chuckled and lowered his voice and explained, "The worst-case scenario is an all-out battle with the Death Eaters. Our duel level is not inferior to theirs. We chose to be secretive just to make this situation better." Operations are smoother.”
"Besides, don't forget that the Death Eaters' actions are all under our control. They probably don't know this. We have had an absolute advantage from the beginning." Fred, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped. , turned around and made a shushing gesture to everyone behind him, and then made another gesture that neither Arthur nor Bill could understand.
However, all the people around them quietly gathered together, and then formed a dense array. They took out their glasses from their pockets and put them on themselves.
“三二一”
Fred made a gesture, and after finishing the countdown, he suddenly threw a special flare made by Albert towards the corner of the corridor. Under the cover of white light, the twins, with their team already wearing sunglasses, suddenly appeared in the corner corridor and headed towards The three Death Eaters whose eyes were flashed by the dazzling light used spells and successfully completed three kills in the blink of an eye.
“You guys…”
Arthur and Bill were both stunned by Fred's actions.
“Flash bombs are particularly useful at night. They can blind other people’s eyes by surprise. I specially brought a few here this time, but I didn’t expect that they would come in handy so quickly.
“There’s no one around.”
“Clean the battlefield.”
“What a poor man!”
After completing the reasonable allocation of resources to the three Death Eaters, everyone tied them up with ropes and threw them into the empty classroom next door.
“Get three more.”
Fred picked up the flash bomb and seemed to be in a good mood.
“Actually, we should take this opportunity to turn them into mice, capture them, and keep them in captivity to prevent them from continuing to harm others.” Someone reminded in a low voice.
Everyone has a responsibility to fight against Death Eaters, but if you only defeat them and then let them go, it is as unnecessary as taking off your pants and farting.
"No, if the Death Eaters let us get rid of the trouble, the mysterious man will definitely take it out on Hogwarts when he finds out. It's best not to affect the students of the school, and we are not ready to formally declare war with the mysterious man. .”
When talking about starting a war, the surrounding atmosphere became extremely serious. Everyone present knew that they would have a battle with the mysterious man.
It’s just that the time has not come yet.
So they cannot be anxious and need to wait slowly.
…
On the other side, just after knocking down a dark wizard who was about to alert the Aurors, Kingsley skillfully used the Imperius Curse to control the dark wizard and let him go into the lounge to deliver the news to the Aurors: someone had invaded the castle. , need their help.
“What the hell!”
Rubbing their sleepy eyes, the tired-looking Aurors walked out of the room one by one. When they reluctantly walked out of the room, they seemed to feel something and raised their heads to look in a certain direction, but they were already He was a step too late, because a red spell flew out from the tip of the wand right in front of him, knocking down all five Aurors in one breath.
Facts have once again proven that sneak attacks are indeed effective.
Cedric bent down to pick up the wand that fell on the ground and stuffed it into the seamless stretch bag specially designed for storing wands. He turned to look at Kingsley and said, "We should act separately. One side will go to reinforce Sirius and Lupin, and the other team will Go meet Fred and George."
“I’m going to help Sirius and Lupin.”
Kingsley said without hesitation that he also wanted to kill Snape.
Before leaving, Kingsley glanced at the Aurors who were easily beaten by them, sighed softly and said, "Arthur, I'll leave it to you."
At this moment, Sirius and Lupine, who were preparing to kill Snape, did encounter a little trouble.
They originally planned to knock Snape down as planned and then throw him down the stairs to his death. However, the magic gold coins began to get hot, ending Snape's communication with Dumbledore and forcing him to pick up his own clothes overnight. wand, ready to go out and take control of the situation.
However, Snape's years of vigilance saved his life. When he sensed something was wrong, he almost instinctively raised his wand to block Sirius' sneak attack, and retracted into the principal's office before Lupin's spell struck.
“Sirius and Lupin are outside.”
Snape used a spell to temporarily seal the door to the Headmaster's office.
"If I were you, I would leave the principal's office immediately. It is no longer safe here, and the wooden door cannot stop them." Dumbledore guessed what Fred and George wanted to do.
"No, there is no one in the Ministry of Magic at this time, and once I go to the Ministry of Magic to seek reinforcements, I will probably be blocked in the fireplace." Snape's face was ugly. He never dreamed that he would be blocked in the office. .
"Don't hesitate, believe me, Sirius and Lupine want to kill you more than anyone else." Dumbledore finally warned, "If you don't leave, you really won't be able to escape when more of them come. "
Yes, you only have one chance.
Sirius and Lupine would never mind having Snape die accidentally.
“It’s really embarrassing.”
Snape clenched the wand in his hand, slowly put it down and walked to the stove. He grabbed a handful of floo powder from the box and sprinkled it into the burning fireplace, disappearing directly into the rising forest green flames.
Shortly after Snape disappeared, a flashbang was thrown through the torn wooden door.
A few seconds later, Sirius and Lupine rushed into the principal's office together, only to find that it was empty.
“Damn it, where’s that **** traitor?”
Sirius raised his wand and alerted the surroundings. After finally confirming that Snape was not in the principal's office, he couldn't help but cursed. He originally thought he could kill Snape and avenge Dumbledore.
Well, although this is wishful thinking on their part, now is indeed the best chance.
In fact, if Snape had not come out on his own just now, members of the Order of the Phoenix would have gathered together to besiege Snape after the rescue operation was over.
Unfortunately, Snape came out of the office and narrowly escaped death, making Sirius regret not preparing more elixirs for himself.
If you really drink the elixir, you might actually succeed in getting revenge.
"He has already run away. He just used Floo powder and went to the Ministry of Magic to find reinforcements." Phineas looked at his great-great-grandson, and was surprised that the other party had the audacity to enter Hogwarts.
“Damn it, I didn’t expect him to run away.” Sirius gritted his teeth.
"We need help to prevent the Death Eaters from outside from reinforcing Hogwarts through the fireplaces." Lupine looked at Phineas's portrait and asked, "Do you know how many fireplaces the school has to connect to the outside world?"
Phineas deliberately ignored Lupin's words because he didn't want to talk to the werewolf.
"Tell me everything you know." Sirius pointed his wand at Phineas's portrait murderously and threatened, "Otherwise, I will burn your painting directly."
"It's useless for you to threaten me. If you don't know, you just don't know." Phineas was very dissatisfied with his great-grandson's threat.
“Damn it, Remus sent them a message. The Death Eaters seem to know our actions, asking them to rescue the guys in the dungeon as soon as possible!”
"No need, they already know." Lupine pointed to his watch and said, "Are we going to join the others?"
"No, there are enough people over there. Let's stay here first. I don't believe they dare to use the floo network to come here."
Sirius once again used the Disillusionment Charm to hide himself. They pointed their wands at the fireplace from all directions, ready to knock down the Death Eaters who had just emerged from the fireplace at any time.
