MTL - 94 Diagon Alley-Chapter 167 Festival
Watching Harry go away, he finally asked the question he had long wanted to know, "I remember you mentioned it once - but what exactly is that?"
"We have to find a safe place first." Hermione's hands were shaking, "Five minutes, Gwen, bring your telescopic ears, joke props—anything that might help. "
Gwen can't wait to crawl back to the dormitory with both hands and feet, her brain is running fast, and at the same time she keeps rummaging in her luggage for bait bombs/bombs, Peru stealth smoke/mist/bombs. She shook the dozing Ginny awake and hurried downstairs to meet them.
indivual. Ron passed a crystal jar, and everyone took a sip of the phlegm.
"We're splitting up." Hermione was no longer as nervous as last year, she knew exactly what she should do, "One group went to the Room of Requirement to block Malfoy, and the other group was in Sri Lanka. Napp's office door staring at him."
"Are neither Harry nor Dumbledore at school?" Gwen asked.
"They're going on a special mission." Hermione gritted her teeth, planning to explain to Gwen later. "And we want to keep Hogwarts safe."
"Harry just said Malfoy was celebrating at the Room of Requirement," Hermione continued. "It means that his item is repaired, so something must happen tonight. Gwen, can you take a few people on the eighth floor?"
Gwen had a vague idea, but her brain and tongue seemed to have her own thoughts, "I should go to Professor Snape."
Hermione frowned, she looked at Gwen's mouth suspiciously, but said nothing. "Then you and Luna go underground. Me, Ron, Ginny and Neville stay on the eighth floor."
Gwen agreed to share some of the Weasley's Witchcraft's defense products with everyone. After thinking about it, she said to Hermione, "Maybe it's the effect of Flux, I just suddenly thought that the cracked cabinet was the Vanishing Cabinet - after Fred and George stuffed the montage in it head down. , and it took a few weeks for him to resurface."
"Call George—I mean, contact the members of the Order of the Phoenix."
Although Gwen named the Vanishing Cabinet, she knew why Hermione was so frightened. The retractable ear can only be pulled out with the other hand.
It was then that she realized that she had been cursed by Dumbledore, and that no important information could be passed on to the members of the Order of the Phoenix.
"George, my dear." Gwen bit the base of her tongue, thinking that if she couldn't do it, she would endure it with pain. In any case, the Order of the Phoenix must know Harry's instructions. "I need you."
George was startled by Gwen's trembling voice, "Speak slowly, Gwen."
"No time, George. Find all the members of the Order of the Phoenix you can get in touch with about the thing I can't tell you! They must get to Hogwarts ASAP!"
Hermione snatched the telescopic ear, "George! The Death Eaters are going to sneak into Hogwarts tonight - Malfoy has repaired the vanishing cabinet."
"Death Eaters? The Vanishing Cabinet?" George and Fred whispered something. "Be clear, Hermione."
"The Vanishing Cabinet! One in the Room of Requirement and the other in Borgin-Bock! That's why Malfoy left it in Knockturn Alley - he's going to infiltrate the Hokage with Death Eaters Gwarts!"
"We'll go find Bill now," George said to Fred.
"And Moody and Cedric, Tonks should already be at school." Fred also said solemnly
"As for you guys, go to the professor, don't-"
Gwen quickly squeezed the retractable ear and cut off the conversation with George. "They're right, you guys can't wait in the Room of Requirement, in case it's really Death Eaters... I'll have to go to Professor Snape."
Gwen finally figured it out, the final link of Malfoy's assassination plan was actually bringing the wolf into the room. With his dad's Death Eater friends as backup, he intends to murder Dumbledore with their support.
"Don't you understand?" Ron shouted, "Don't let the old bat get in. Hermione and I stay here, Gwen and Luna have to stay in the basement. Ginny, you and Neville to the professors."
The six students saw the righteousness on each other's faces, they nodded at each other, took out their wands and held them to their chests, and walked lightly to their respective battlefields.
"There was a golden thread in your mouth just now." Luna's ethereal voice came.
"Yeah, tormented me for a long time." Gwen stopped her behind him and used two less-than-perfect illusion spells to become invisible again. "It's only going to last an hour, and we've got to be quieter, Luna."
"Who are you keeping a secret for?" Luna asked again in a singing voice.
"I can't tell." Gwen covered his mouth, "Otherwise I could have easily told George what happened."
"Why did Malfoy bring the Death Eaters to school?" Luna didn't seem to care about Gwen's answer, and analyzed herself, "I mean, since his name is Della Section (Draco), and the school motto is 'Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus' (Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus), he should not do bad things to Hogwarts."
"A good joke." Gwen didn't care about the blonde witch's wordplay, she kept staring at Snape's door. Hesitant to rush into his office to remind him - but Dumbledore wasn't at school, and Snape couldn't do anything even if he knew. Luna was by her side again at the moment, how could she pass the news without telling Luna?
"You have too many harassing flies," Luna waved in Gwen's ear, as if driving away invisible mosquitoes, "and they all flew into Professor Snape's office. "
"Okay, Luna." Gwen turned to take her hand, "I hope I'm doing the right thing. As soon as we found out that someone was actually sneaking into the school, I immediately Go knock on Professor Snape's door, okay?"
Luna, surprisingly, looked at Gwen with compassion: "Why does this decision make you sad?"
"Because of my bad premonition." Gwen closed his eyes in pain, leaned his back against the wall of the hallway, and rubbed his temples with two fingers, "Luna, there is no Flux. Made me feel more confident - I have a splitting headache right now."
Harry could smell the sea and hear the sound of rough waves. He looked out at the moonlit sea and the starry night sky in the distance, a cold breeze blowing in his hair. He stood on a high black rock outcropping the sea, the waves rolling and foaming beneath him. He turned his head and looked back. A cliff stood behind him, and the steep rock wall fell straight down, making it dark and hard to see. Several large rocks, such as the one on which Harry and Dumbledore are standing, appear to have fallen off the face of the cliff sometime in the past. Bare and desolate all around, except for the vast sea and rocks, not a single tree, no grass or sand.
Dumbledore motioned Harry to the edge of the rock, where there were many ragged indentations for stepping on, leading to the giant pebbles below, around the cliffs, half out of the sea. Climbing down from here is very dangerous, Dumbledore's scorched hand does not obey, and he moves slowly. The lower rocks were washed away by the sea. Harry felt the sea-smelling icy water splash on his face.
"Fluorescent flashes!" Dumbledore went down to the giant pebble closest to the front of the cliff, crouched down and chanted a spell. A few feet of gold glittered on the dark sea below him. The dark rock wall beside him was also illuminated.
"See?" Dumbledore asked softly, raising his wand higher. Harry saw a crack in the cliff, with dark water swirling in it.
"You don't mind getting wet?"
"It's okay," Harry said.
"Then take off your invisibility cloak—no need to wear it now—and let's take the plunge."
Dumbledore suddenly became as agile as a young man, and he slid gently from the pebble into the sea and swam towards the dark crack in the rock face. With his wand in his mouth, he was in perfect breaststroke. Harry took off the Invisibility Cloak and stuffed it into his pocket, and followed.
Then, he saw Dumbledore in front of him stand up from the water, his silver-white hair and black robe shone with water. Harry swam there and found that there were steps leading to a large cave. He struggled up the steps, water rushing down his soaked clothes. He finally stepped out of the sea, the air around him was still and cold, and he shivered uncontrollably.
Dumbledore was already standing in the middle of the cave, holding his wand high in his hand, he turned slowly in place, carefully examining the rock wall and the top of the cave.
"Yes, this is the place," said Dumbledore.
"How do you know?" Harry whispered.
"It has seen magic," said Dumbledore briefly.
Harry didn't know if he was trembling like this, because the cold had penetrated into the marrow, or because he also realized the existence of the spell. He watched as Dumbledore continued to spin slowly in place, apparently
