Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

Chapter 290 The Power of the Death Eaters

At noon, as the sun passed through the thick white clouds, the expo also reached its closing time at noon.

The crowd gradually left the Anglo-Saxon Expo and gathered in Hogsmeade.

In the Pig's Head Bar.

Harry looked at Stacey in surprise and whispered, "So you stayed here after arriving at Hogwarts last night?"

"That's right." Stacey nodded.

Harry opened his mouth. If he remembered correctly, Aberforth didn't seem to like Muggles.

Then as soon as the door of the bar opened, Harry saw a familiar figure.

House elf!

Taking another closer look, there were several more house elves cleaning the tavern and wiping cups.

As for Aberforth? He was just sitting at the bar, and when he saw the crowd coming, he just glanced at it.

Well, it seems that the Headmaster also knew that Mr. Aberforth couldn't treat these ordinary people well, so he put the house elf in charge of the Pig's Head Bar.

"Gentlemen and ladies, please come in quickly." The house elf from Hogwarts welcomed everyone into the bar.

Afterwards, a sumptuous lunch was served.

"Did you serve it from the Hogwarts kitchens?" Harry asked.

The house elf nodded repeatedly: "Sir, you are really wise."

It doesn't look like there is a kitchen here either.

"Stacey, when are you going back?" Neville looked at the girl opposite him.

"We will go back tomorrow, Mr. Dumbledore arranged the Hogwarts Express for us." Stacey smiled: "You don't know how surprised I was when I received Mr. Dumbledore's invitation.

Mom and Dad were all stunned, and it wasn’t until we passed platform nine and three-quarters that they accepted the reality of magic. "

"Mr. Longbottom, can we take a photo for a while?" Stacey's father smiled.

"Oh, of course." Neville nodded quickly.

Harry was talking to Hermione about today's lively scene.

Halfway through lunch, Harry vaguely noticed something was wrong.

"Hey Hermione, did you hear me?"

The sound of the entire street changed. The cheerful chatter gradually became louder and more chaotic.

And the reason is screaming? !

Harry stood up immediately and looked at Mr. Aberforth, only to find that he was quietly drinking butterbeer behind the bar.

"What's wrong?" Hermione looked at him in surprise.

"Let me take a look first." Harry shook his head, he just hoped that he was too sensitive.

Then he came to the window.

It was at this time that a splendid fire appeared from the sky above the Wenrenju Feather Pen Shop, and then exploded.

"Explosion curse?!" Harry's eyes flickered. He just saw a trace of the curse strike like lightning, followed by flames and explosions.

It was at this moment when he was thinking that the fire appeared again. Then he heard the extremely sudden sarcastic laughter among the chaotic voices.

Soon, he found the source of the sound.

They were a group of wizards dressed abruptly.

They were scattered among the streets of Hogsmeade, or standing on the spiers of houses, everyone pointing their wands upward.

Harry squinted his eyes and looked carefully at these people who seemed to have no faces. Then he realized that they had hoods on their heads and masks on their faces.

these guys

Harry suddenly became angry. Uncle Moon put a lot of effort into organizing this event, but these guys actually

It was at this moment that the door of the Pig Head Bar suddenly opened.

Professor Lupine came out and patted his hat, which still had debris from the burning object.

"Sir, what happened outside?" Stacey's father stood up and asked.

And this question is what many people here want to know.

Just as Harry was observing, the sounds of screams and explosions had been captured by many other people in the bar.

"Oh, hello, I am Professor Remus Lupin of Hogwarts. Ah, I remember that many of you have taken my class.

There were a few people outside who were drunk and causing a scene. Lu Ping shook his head helplessly: "You know, these guys are drunk and always want to wave the little stick in their hands." So don't panic, it's just some ordinary street conflicts that will be resolved quickly.

Of course, considering that everyone might be worried, Principal Dumbledore asked me to come over. "

The parents looked down at their children and were quickly answered with nods.

After all, Professor Lupine's class was the favorite of these children to attend at that time, and they all remembered this humorous teacher.

"Also, Harry, Hermione and Neville, please take a moment to talk, okay?"

Soon, behind the bar, three children stood in front of Lupine.

"What Professor Dumbledore was worried about has still happened. Those guys outside-"

"Death Eaters?" Harry said.

"Ah, that's right. Your powers of observation are extraordinary, Harry." Lupine nodded: "They are probably here to disrupt this event, and the Muggle crowd here is a very important thing. You know that eating death The disciples are very hostile to Muggles."

"So sir, what do you want us to do?"

"I don't want you to do anything." Lu Ping shook his head: "I just don't want you to really think it's some street trouble, then run out and stay here. The matter will be resolved quickly, okay?"

"No problem." Harry nodded. Uncle Moon and Mr. Dumbledore were both nearby. If they were smart people, the best choice would be to run away.

"Okay, just make sure you understand the current situation." Lu Ping nodded, turned and walked outside.

The three children returned to their seats, and Neville glanced around: "Where's Ron?"

"Oh, yes, where is Ron? We have to tell him what's going on here quickly." Harry nodded, then looked left and right.

But soon, they discovered that something was wrong.

With a burst of green light shining out of the window, the Dark Mark appeared in the sky above Hogsmeade. After spreading the endless fear from more than ten years ago, things gradually got out of control.

Harry looked around, searching for this classmate, but found nothing, and his heart gradually dropped to the bottom.

"He said he was going to the toilet before, but he hasn't come back yet." Neville said anxiously.

Then, another figure appeared in front of the door on the first floor.

Harry looked over quickly, only to find that it wasn't Ron.

But -Draco.

"It's over." Draco said with a straight face as soon as he came in, "These guys have caused trouble here."

"How's it going outside?" Harry asked quickly: "Have you seen Ron?"

"Weasley? Didn't see him? Who cares about him?" Draco twitched the corner of his mouth: "Those guys caught a Muggle and wanted to kill him. It seemed like he was a member of someone's family. Fortunately, Professor Lupin Professor McGonagall showed up and quickly rescued the guy."

"Where is Mr. Dumbledore?"

"Dumbledore isn't here!" Draconian said, "He went to the Ministry today."

"What?" Harry's heart skipped a beat, and then he couldn't stop nodding.

"Okay, it's this trick again, but it does work."

But there is still a problem.

Where is Uncle Mu En?

Then, with this question in mind, Harry looked out the window.

Then, he saw Aurors running down the hillside.

Those Aurors were originally responsible for the security of the Anglo-Saxon Expo.

"No!!" Harry suddenly whispered: "Look, the security of the expo is down."

"What do you mean?" Draco looked over there. In his eyes, there were a few figures like sesame seeds appearing on the hillside.

Then, glasses were put on his eyes.

Harry's glasses, to be precise, were modified by him!

Suddenly, Draco saw everything clearly.

"It's over, I seem to understand." Draco whispered: "We have to tell the professor."

Then several people looked towards the bar, but Aberforth walked up to them at some point.

"Be honest and don't do anything. You are just students."

"Um, okay." Draco twitched the corner of his mouth. Aberforth's behavior of quietly standing behind him was like that tall body just now.

"Do what a 'student' should do." Aberforth said suddenly.

Especially the word student is emphasized.

"Okay, I understand." Harry raised his brows, then nodded calmly.

"Peter, what happened?" Chris came over suddenly: "You guys look very nervous."

"Oh, Mr. Granger." Harry turned his head: "Nothing."

"Okay." Chris nodded: "By the way, Hermione, you said it before."

Harry gestured to Draco, and then the two of them walked upstairs.

Neville looked at the two of them blankly, and then Draco turned his head and glanced at him.

"Let's go."

"What to do?" Neville looked confused, but still quickly followed them to the second floor.

Arriving on the second floor, Draco first looked at Harry.

"What? Why did you leave Granger alone?"

"Her parents are here." Harry glanced at him helplessly: "I'll go find Uncle Moon, and you two go find Ron, okay?"

"Ah?" Draco looked disappointed: "That's it? Shouldn't we go directly to the exhibition hall?"

"How capable you are, how much you can do." Harry chuckled: "Be honest."

"I think my abilities are pretty good." Draco scratched his head: "Forget it, I'll just do as you say."

"Go on, Ron is in danger out there," Harry said.

"Don't worry too much, the Death Eaters are targeting Muggles," Draco said.

"The reason I'm worried is that he was accidentally injured. After all, he's not like you two." Harry sighed, and then magic waves surged around his body. The next moment, he apparated away.

"Aha, he's not like me. It's true, that guy is a loser." Draco chuckled, then looked at Neville: "Let's go, let's get that guy back, you go to the toilet and see him Did you fall into a trap?"

"Wait." Suddenly, a voice appeared on the second floor.

Draco shuddered and looked at the source of the sound, which was a boy with black hair.

"Are you looking for Ron?" he asked.

"Who are you?" Draco glanced at him.

"That person is not Ron." He did not answer Draco's words: "He is Barty Crouch Jr."

"Wait, what?" Neville felt like he was electrocuted, and his whole brain was suddenly pinched: "What nonsense are you talking about."

"That person was either Ron, or the person who went to the expo with you. That was little Barty. He went towards the expo hall."

"Are you sure?" Neville asked quickly.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Draco looked at Neville: "Do you believe what a fool who appears out of nowhere says?"

"I'm not a fool." The black-haired boy suddenly said: "He went to the expo hall, believe it or not."

Before Draco could use his taunt again, Neville ran directly downstairs.

"Longbottom, you pig, wait!!" Draco cursed.

However, Neville didn't wait for him at all, but ran straight outside.

Draco only had time to turn his head and look at the black-haired boy fiercely: "If you lie to me, you'd better run away now to the ends of the earth."

After that, he ran straight downstairs.

Seeing Draco's figure disappear on the second floor, the black-haired boy breathed a sigh of relief, then returned to the room and looked at a painting on the wall.

"Is this okay? Professor."

"Yeah." Mu En on the wall nodded: "That's it, there's only so much I can do."

"But why did the professor bring the two of them there?"

"That was the arrangement of Mr. Longbottom's teacher." Moon on the wall shook her head, not intending to answer.

"Okay." Ron could only nod.

In fact, he also thought about wanting to do something with Neville that he didn't know about. Although he didn't know it, it was definitely a big deal.

But his request was rejected by the professor.

The reason is simple. You are too good.

Since that night, the professor had been speaking to him more simply.

Meanwhile, the Screaming Shack.

Mu En looked at Harry who was coming and was a little surprised.

"Actually, you don't have to come to me." Mu En said.

"Uncle Moon, do you know everything? Next." Harry said quickly.

"Of course I know." Mu En nodded.

"Then why don't you?" Harry said quickly.

"No need to worry." Mu En waved his hand: "Except for the Death Eaters, there are no casualties so far. They just want to cause trouble."

"They are after something in the expo. Although I don't know what it is, it is definitely." I know, of course I know: "Not only do I know this, I also feel that there may be Fudge's push behind it. Deng Blido went to the Ministry of Magic to confirm this."

"Minister Fudge?" Harry looked at Moon in horror.

"Yeah." Mu En nodded casually: "Maybe for him, asking him to resign is no different from killing him. Then it's not surprising what a person in despair does."

Harry never expected that the words resignation and despair would be associated with each other.

"But Death Eaters will attack ordinary people."

"No." Moon shook his head: "Dumbledore's purpose is to let ordinary people see the wizarding world. He will not allow ordinary people to be injured or killed."

"The one before that"

"It's just a little trick. The No-Maj parents they attacked before were just dummies for the Transformation Curse." Moon smiled: "Not only would Dumbledore not allow No-Majs to suffer casualties, he would not even allow them to Being intimidated by the wizarding world, after all it is important to leave a good impression on the guests.”

After saying that, Mu En raised his head easily: "How do you feel about the word No-Maj? It's used in the United States to refer to non-spellcasters. It doesn't have that condescending meaning. I quite like it."

"So...just let them continue to make trouble?" Harry was still hesitant.

"Of course not, I'm just waiting."

"What are you waiting for?" Harry asked quickly.

"Wait until our Mr. Longbottom rushes to the Expo Hall as expected by his teacher."

At the same time, there was an empty picture frame on the wall.

"Longbottom has passed, taking Draco with him." Moon said in the painting.

"Uncle Moon. Your portrait?" Harry asked in surprise.

"Well, I've been studying the world in the paintings recently. Although I hate having another me in the world, it's just for research."

"I will commit suicide when the research is over." Mu En on the wall said again: "I don't like being on the wall either."

"As expected of me." Moon smiled, then turned to look at Harry and asked, "Are you going?"

"Old rules, I respect your wishes and choices

As for Mr. Longbottom, well, I'm not his teacher, so I can't tell him clearly. Of course, it was his own choice to find Barty Jr. This is the best I can do. "
