harry potter book of crimes

The enemy disappeared out of thin air?

This is naturally impossible. Even Blois, who personally detonated the flame dragon, did not think that such a single explosion could blow up the living corpse that set off the hurricane.

Just by looking at the sky above the stronghold at this time, you can see that the huge storm before had even stirred up the low-hanging clouds, causing a vortex to appear there. Even now, when the strong wind has died down, it is still turning slowly.

The guy who can create such a battle by himself, even if it is exactly what Delphi said, and the other party has actually lost control of the hurricane in the end, the power it possesses is not

Definitely not to be underestimated.

However, when the black storm was forcibly stopped by Blois, everyone discovered that the instigator who was supposed to be still in the storm had disappeared.

In an instant, the three people present were startled, and then they all raised their vigilance to the highest point.

The rain was still falling leisurely from high in the sky; the wind was still blowing unsteadily; the protective barrier of the stronghold had just been scratched by the black storm, and now it had stabilized slightly.

But Harry, Delphi and Mr. Blois, as well as Hermione who was always paying attention in the stronghold, were all tense.

The enemy that suddenly attacked suddenly disappeared without a trace, which immediately made everyone who still had some brains become alert with different expressions.

So much so that right now, many people...including Delphi did not notice that at some point, the army of living zombies below actually stopped attacking the stronghold without any warning, and all of them stopped in place.

.

"Gr...Miss Granger...look below!"

The terrible storm just now indeed attracted the attention of most people, but after all, some people will pay more attention to the things in front of them. The first to notice the strangeness were those responsible for attacking the living corpses at the stronghold.

The wizard volunteers fought back.

After hearing the reminder from Longfro, who was commanding the counterattack, Hermione, who was also watching the aerial battlefield, lowered her head and looked down the tower through the silver barrier that was still a little unstable due to the storm just now.

At that moment, a chill suddenly rose up behind Hermione, and yes, she had goosebumps all over her body.

I have no choice but to believe that no matter who it is, they will not feel comfortable when they see such a scene - one by one, groups of living corpses, all of them inexplicably lower their arms and raise their heads at this moment.

If you look up with their eyes, you will find that what they are looking at is the huge vortex in the clouds above the stronghold.

At this moment, there was probably no way of knowing why they were doing what they were doing, and they even put aside the matter of attacking the stronghold. But Hermione felt that this might not be a good thing.

As for the whirlpool above everyone's heads at this time...perhaps it is not just "thirted by the storm".

"Don't you think...go! Go and inform Mr. Blois that they are leaving -"

…

"...It's a devil."

Almost at the same moment when Hermione said those words, in the attic of the Burrow in the center of the stronghold, there were two figures looking at the clouds above through the open trap door.

From here, you can see the whirlpool in the clouds more clearly. The flowing clouds and mist seem to have turned the entire sea upside down and placed it in the sky. Compared with the calmness during this period, it makes people feel more depressed.

At this moment, Sarah suddenly seemed to notice something and took the lead in breaking the silence in the attic.

"Well," Luna nodded and agreed, "It's a devil...it seems to be called 'Pride'? Delphi mentioned it, but it wasn't very clear."

"Really?" Sarah frowned slightly, "It's earlier than expected... Granger's protective barrier may not be able to stop it."

The two of them just raised their necks, talking to each other. Finally, Luna suddenly stood up on the floor, patted her clothes that were stained with sawdust and dust, and said:

"I'm going to help!"

"Have you finally decided?" Sarah couldn't help but ask when she saw this.

But Luna shook her head.

"Actually not yet," she said, "But didn't I just say that? Sometimes, 'hesitation' may not necessarily be a bad thing - since you don't know what to do, then you can only hesitate.

!And...I may be starting to envy Hermione a little bit."

After saying this, she no longer waited for Sarah to continue speaking, and left from the stairs in the blink of an eye.

Not long after, Luna returned downstairs and continued to trot through the living room.

Ron was still sitting by the window. When he saw Luna hurried downstairs and passed by like a gust of wind in front of him, he subconsciously got up and chased her two steps.

"Luna, where are you going?"

"The devil may be coming, I'm going to fight!"

Hearing the reply from Luna who had already run out of the door without looking back, Ron had already accumulated an impulse in his heart that had nowhere to vent, but the words "I'll go too" reached his throat.

But after all, he couldn't say it out loud.

He stopped at the door and turned around suddenly - the entrance to the basement was under the stairs, and now, Ginny and Hannah were inside.

In this defensive battle, everyone's responsibility has been determined from the beginning, and his task is to stay here as the last line of defense at the core of the rune array, so he cannot leave.

Yes, although it seems that the outside has become very dangerous and the situation is getting more and more severe. But perhaps it is because of this that everyone cannot give up their tasks at will.

"With my strength, I won't be able to help even if I go there. And Harry... doesn't seem to need my help now!"

Ron muttered like this, his tone seemed a little unwilling, but more importantly, it was as simple and plain as if he was just stating the facts.

After saying this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the huge whirlpool above his head like many people outside.

Vaguely, Ron, who was looking up at the door of the Burrow, seemed to see a pair of black feet from the center of the whirlpool, slowly descending from the clouds.

"'Devil'... Sure enough, it feels very powerful!" Ron sighed and said to himself.

"Rumble--"

A muffled thunder suddenly sounded, the wind did not stop, and the originally drizzling rain seemed to finally become heavier.

So far, no one can guess what this increasingly chaotic defensive battle with frequent surprises will turn into.
