MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 388 386. Armor

   Chapter 388 386. Armor

Although Jon didn't know what impolite words Crouch and Snape were talking about, he knew that since they had made so much preparation, they would not let anyone interfere at tonight's dance Him and Hermione.

   That is to say, when encountering these things, the best solution is for the two of them to go directly, and the Aurors around will definitely not chase after them.

   This is indeed the case. After he took Li and quickly left the auditorium, Lucius got the instruction from Barty Jr., and the Aurors around did not catch up.

   This couldn't help but make Selwyn, who was lying on the ground not only slapped, but also kicked by Jon before leaving, even more hoarse.

   "Why don't you catch him! My father is a Death Eater! My mother is the director of the French Ministry of Magic! The glory of pure blood has been tarnished. No one will ask in Hogwarts Castle!"

  However, before she got up from the ground, under the command of Barty Jr., those Aurors fell over and Selwyn was raised up.

This couldn't help but make this proud pure-blood student look shocked and bewildered. She turned her head and looked at Barty Crouch Jr. who had already walked over. Because she was not British, she went to school in Beauxbatons since she was a child. She had little fear of the notorious number one of Voldemort's thugs.

  Just as she was about to open her mouth to question, Crouch raised the wand in her hand, and her mouth was instantly sealed.

   "Shouting and making such vulgar actions in such a formal occasion, the so-called pure blood glory is really shamed because of you."

  His voice was very cold, and the gentleness that had always been on his face was no longer there. Then he waved his hand and motioned for the two Aurors who supported her to lead her out of the auditorium.

   "Sent to the confinement room, let her stay there tonight and reflect on it."

  The two Aurors faithfully carried out his order, and everyone in the auditorium watched this scene in disbelief.

  If it weren’t for knowing what Crouch had done in order to serve Voldemort, then some people say that his pure-blooded twenty-five sons would believe his behavior now.

  But in the absence of Voldemort, Snape didn't speak up to object, so in the current Hogwarts, it is tantamount to Crouch alone.

Among the people present, only Beauxbaton's vice-principal, Bostrode, had an ugly face, because Selwyn who was taken away was his student, and now Crouch was almost ignoring him. As a professor at Hogwarts, he directly intervened in the punishment of Beauxbaton's students, which made Burst feel a little uncomfortable.

  Voldemort's power is very large, and a large power will inevitably have many factions.

  In addition to the new school of pure blood and the old school of pure blood artificially separated by Voldemort, after France was occupied by him, his internal factions were further divided into two large frameworks, the British pure blood and the French pure blood.

  Especially after Wu Pingxian counterattacked France, and most of the French purebloods fled to the UK in order to avoid liquidation, this internal division and distinction became more and more obvious.

   It’s just that the current French purebloods are outsiders in the UK after all, and Great Britain is the home base of British purebloods. Therefore, under the active tolerance and restraint of French wizards, the conflict between the two parties has not been aroused.

  Even now, Belstrode felt Crouch's arrogance and chose to forbear, and did not let the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart vent.

  He knew very well that there was nothing he could do in this situation. The outbreak of internal conflict would only make others laugh, and Voldemort would not speak up for him after that.

  As Selwyn was dealt with, the previous atmosphere in the auditorium was gradually restored.

   A burst of more cheerful dance music sounded than before, and the students re-entered the center of the dance floor, starting tonight's carnival.

But there are still many students discussing the scene just now. Everyone thinks that as long as their principal is not in the castle, no one can control Jon. Barty Crouch Jr. chose to show off when he was so rampant, and the others didn't have such ability.

  Of course, Jon didn't care what the students in the castle thought. He and Li had already come to the temporary garden outside the castle for the Christmas ball.

  It looks quiet here, but in fact, there are many students hidden in the surrounding small flowers. When Jon and Li walked in, he bumped into a young couple who were in love with each other.

   It's only halfway through the prom, but for some, their best chance is when everyone is in the dance.

  Jon looked at the fairy flying on a bush of roses, and said a little speechlessly.

   "To be honest, this garden was originally built to facilitate students' trysts, right?"

   "Ahem, what else?"

  By taking this opportunity, Li had already drank the voice-changing potion, which scratched his throat a bit when he first drank it, so although his voice had already undergone some changes, it still seemed a bit strange because of its hoarseness.

  However, the speed of this transformation will be very fast, and there are no people around after coming to the garden, so Li doesn't have to be particularly careful.

   "Aren't the professors in the castle afraid of killing people if they do this?"

  Jon still remembered that the young couple he met when he first came in were about the same age as him. If this kind of situation is uncontrollable, how should he explain it to their parents?

   Or is it that there is no need to explain at all, and these parents are also happy?

   Even though he has lived here for many years, Jon still doesn't know much about the situation in Great Britain, but he doesn't need to specialize in this situation now.

  Of course Li didn't understand what Jon said, so he said it nonchalantly.

   "How could a normal Christmas ball cause death? It's not a war now, you think too much, Jon, instead of thinking about this, it's better to think about how we will deal with the next time later."

  This plan actually didn't put so much potential pressure on Hermione.

  Dumbledore didn't think about completely hiding Voldemort's actions in the castle. Even if he hasn't fully controlled the castle, he has been operating it for more than ten years.

As long as Hermione's mission can safely copy back the runes drawn under the four relics from the principal's office this time, it will be considered a success. As for whether it will alarm Voldemort himself, or be discovered by him, Dumbledore will be required. Things to consider.

But the first thing to ensure is that these runes must be copied in full. Only in this way can Dumbledore and Slytherin accurately judge the extent of Voldemort's erosion of the castle, so that they can determine the next step. specific actions.

  So Hermione moved very quickly. This time she took all the preparations and didn't need to do it herself. The shorthand quill sent from France was already flying on the parchment.

  Hermione didn't stand still at this time, she raised her wand, and tapped on the four relics on the table.

There is nothing special about these relics from the outside, except that densely packed, small and imperceptible runes are drawn on the desk carrying them, it is like an ordinary desk with a few ordinary decorations .

  When Hermione's wand fell on the Ravenclaw's crown, the crown inlaid with blue gemstones lit up faintly, but it didn't shift in any way.

  Her levitation spell didn't work as it should have.

This was not beyond Hermione's expectations. She had the same thought as Jon. Since Voldemort dared to place these four relics here openly, there must be his support. Obviously, they are not so easy to get. go.

According to the plan given to her by Dumbledore, she did not say that she would take these four relics away now. These four things have basically been connected to the entire Hogwarts castle, and Voldemort chose to pass them. As a medium, from the moment they invaded the castle, it was impossible for these four things to leave the castle.

  Hermione just made an attempt for Ms. Gray's promise. The crown was found, but there was no way to take it out. It was considered an explanation for her.

And just when the battle between Fox and Nagini had reached a fever pitch, and the shorthand quill was still writing rapidly on the desk, and Hermione was about to assist Fox in assisting him with two spells, the room separated by the principal's office passed Suddenly, there was a sound of heavy footsteps at the stairs of the tower where the Book of Access and the Pen of Acceptance were stored!

  Hermione clenched the wand in her hand instantly, and Fox, who had successfully opened a **** hole in Nagini's head, raised his head vigilantly!

It left Nagini, who was half dead, turned around and glided onto Hermione's shoulder. Hermione also walked quickly to the parchment on the desk where less than half of the runes had been copied. She didn't just hold it like this right away. The parchment left, and the runes were not copied in full, so the value of her trip would be greatly reduced, so she was still staring at the corner of the stairs in the tower, listening to the heavy footsteps getting closer .

   Then, a metal armor reflecting the bright moonlight outside the window walked down the stairs!

  A sharp knight sword is held in the hand of the armor. Although it has gone through hundreds of years, the surface of the armor is still smooth and shiny. There is no jerky feeling in the movements of the limbs, but full of harmonious beauty.

   The moment it walked out of the stairs, it aimed at Hermione, and raised the cold knight sword in its hand!

Seeing that what came was not a living person, but a pair of armor that had been enchanted, Hermione was slightly relieved, but she still didn't let go of her guard at all. When moving further, he used the spell first!

   "Knock back at full speed!"

There was no dazzling spell beam, but a surge of airflow that created ripples in the air, and then the armor seemed to be hit hard by a sledgehammer, and it was suddenly blown away, and then it was hit hard. It collided with the solid stone wall of the principal's office.

  It seems that Hermione's spell had an excellent effect, but in fact it only partially restricted the armor's actions and did not cause any substantial damage to it.

   "Quickly bind! Ice freezes!"

After Hermione used two consecutive spells of Binding Curse and Freezing Curse, a rope that appeared out of nowhere suddenly bound the whole body of the armor that was about to stand up from the ground. At the same time, the icy frost covered its body surface, and soon All its movable joints are completely sealed.

  After finishing all this, Hermione didn't stop the movement of her hands. She immediately turned around and pointed at Nagini who was still thumping in a pool of blood, and waved the wand in her hand.

   "Flaming!"

  The fire burned the snake's blood, and at the same time illuminated the entire principal's office, and just as the flames were engulfing Nagini, there was another sound of heavy footsteps at the corner of the stairs.

  Hermione was keenly sure that it was a burst of footsteps, not a single one, because it was obvious that this burst of footsteps could not be made by a pair of armors. At least two sets of armors came alive and came to the principal's office!

She glanced at the progress of the parchment on the table. The speed of copying with the shorthand quill pen is very fast, at least much faster than normal handwriting, but even so, it is only half of the work done now. After copying all the runes, Hermione still needs to delay for a while.

At this time, the armor that came down from the tower also appeared in the principal's room. Just as Hermione guessed from the sound of footsteps, there were two sets of armor that appeared again. Compared with the previous armor, they held a knight In addition to the sword, one of the hands is still holding a shield, and the armor is also thicker, while the other hand is holding a long ax in both hands.

  After arriving at the principal's office, the armor holding the shield and sword rushed towards Hermione without hesitation. It was very fast and showed no signs of clumsiness, as if there was a real person inside.

   The more she was in this situation, the calmer Hermione became, and she quickly waved her wand in her hand.

   "Many Obstacles!"

  In an instant, the air about five meters in front of her began to become viscous, and the sword and shield armor seemed to have fallen into the water, and the movement obviously began to slow down.

But this slowness only lasted for a second, and a light red light flashed on the shield it was holding, and then Hermione's obstacle spell was broken by it, and the sprinting speed returned to the original state , holding up the knight sword in his hand, he suddenly slashed towards Hermione's position!

  Even if it was only delayed for a second, it gave Hermione enough time to react. While the armor raised the sword in her hand, she quickly backed away enough distance for herself.

  The sword that fell from the armor finally hit the Gryffindor sword that was placed on the desk. The moment the two swords were handed over, there was a sound of gold and iron clanging!

   Four thousand, there are two chapters of three thousand tonight
