I went to Hogwarts after being spotted by Grindelwald

"Professor, how is the situation in the castle now?" Sean asked loudly.

At his reminder, everyone grabbed their wands.

"They're all ash snakes! I've never seen so many in my life!" Kettleburn didn't look unusual. He was still the rough and arrogant Care of Magical Creatures teacher, but he stood still and refused to move.

Even George and Fred saw something wrong with his behavior.

"Professor, can you come over and help us? One of the students was injured, but Madam Pomfrey fainted for some reason." Sean continued calmly.

If nothing else, Professor Kettleburn will not come...

Sure enough, Kettleburn showed an impatient look: "I have more important things to deal with. You should leave here quickly. I will inform Professor Dumbledore next and he will come to save the poor child."

Sean narrowed his eyes slightly. He was indeed guarding something. The blue light next to him was probably that thing.

"Senior Charlotte, the professor is not normal..."

Charlotte nodded slightly, grabbed the wand, and whispered: "Step back first and see the specific situation..."

Before she could finish speaking, Kettleburn over there became even more anxious. He poked the ground hard with his wooden prosthetic leg: "Everyone, go!"

Several people looked at each other and slowly retreated out of the ward.

"Kettleburn." Just as everyone retreated to the arched stone door, a cold, unidentifiable male or female voice spoke.

Kettleburn's beard trembled a few times, and he opened his mouth with difficulty: "I can't, they are my students."

"I'm just letting them have some sleep." The voice was low and seductive.

"No, no..." Kettleburn shook his head painfully.

The voice snorted coldly, as if it had lost its patience.

"Go, Kettleburn!"

Then, Sean and the others saw that the Care of Magical Creatures teacher, who had a painful and troubled look on his face, suddenly became expressionless, and then walked towards them with his wand raised.

"Stupefy! (stupefy)" A red light shot directly at Sean.

"Protego! (Protego)" Charlotte summoned a transparent barrier, and the red light bounced away, punching a big hole in the stone wall.

"Wingardium leviosa." Sean quickly used a levitation spell to pull the fainted Madam Pomfrey over to prevent her from being injured.

"Professor, wake up!" Charlotte shouted anxiously after escaping a spell.

Sean, who took Madam Pomfrey and Percy outside, shouted loudly: "It's useless, he was hit by the Imperius Curse."

Although he hasn't seen the explanation of the soul-stealing curse yet, he can tell from the other party's godless look.

Although Kettleburn is very old and has lost his arms and legs, he is still strong.

Cedric, Charlotte and George were able to barely withstand the opponent's attack.

For a moment, spells were flying in the ward.

Sean was concentrating on other locations. The mysterious man controlling Kettleburn was somewhere, and he had to deal with possible sneak attacks.

Suddenly, something was thrown from the dark place, and George immediately raised his wand.

"Shattered to pieces!(reducto)"

The thing exploded in mid-air, with transparent fragments splashing around.

It was a glass bottle. After it exploded, red liquid splashed out, and then gave off a strange smell.

"It's broken..." Sean's heart skipped a beat.

"Hiss~" The ash snake in the distance suddenly stopped where it was.

Then, all the nearby ash snakes rushed towards the crowd crazily!

It’s so much fun now!

Sean immediately pulled the unconscious Percy and Madam Pomfrey and retreated to the back.

A steady stream of ash snakes came from everywhere, and they gathered more and more. The sheer number of them made Sean's head tingle.

It was too late to make eye contact one by one.

Without any further hesitation, Sean waved his wand. "Protego Diabolica"

Bright blue flames spurted out from the tip of Sean's staff, and then protected several people within it.

The flames rose up, and although they were not as spectacular as the gas stove, they still firmly surrounded Sean and the others.

Everyone's attention was drawn except Kettleburn, who was expressionless.

There was a look of surprise in Charlotte's eyes. What kind of curse was this? She, a seventh grader, had never seen it before?

However, the fire ash snakes didn't have so many ideas. They gathered together because of the bottle of potion and rushed over one after another.

The moment the first fire-ash snake came into contact with the blue flame, it turned into a ball of flying ash without even neighing.

But the other ash snakes acted as if they hadn't seen it. Their eyes were red, and only their violent instincts remained. One after another, they threw themselves into the blue flames.

However, this magic spell did not disappoint Sean. Although it was only a thin layer, no matter whether it was several ash snakes stacked on top of each other or leaping towards them, as long as they came into contact with the flames, they would all turn into ashes in an instant.

ash.

"This old man Grindelwald is really fierce..." Sean looked at the pile of ashes getting higher and higher in front of him and couldn't help but sigh to himself.

No matter how fearless the fire ash snakes are, there is no defense that can break through the fire circle.

"Come back." The voice in the dark shouted.

Kettleburn, expressionless, quickly retreated, returned to the other side of the ward, and then hid his figure.

Immediately afterwards, a murmuring sound sounded, which was a strange language.

Sean's eyes suddenly widened. This is?!

He saw that the ash snakes that were coming one after another stopped all their movements, then slowly retreated, gathering one by one in front of the fire ring.

Sean's expression suddenly became heavy.

Parseltongue...that voice in the dark, is it Tom Riddle?!

Sean's breathing became uncontrollably heavy.

Charlotte and the others, who were holding their wands on guard, approached. She looked at the ash snakes in front of them that were behaving strangely, and said in a deep voice: "What, what's going on?"

Sean looked ugly and said quickly: "Don't worry about it for now, come in! The flames won't hurt you!"

In the situation he envisioned, there was no option for Voldemort to appear directly at Hogwarts!

"Ah..." On the other side, the voice that was neither male nor female let out a regretful sigh.

Immediately afterwards, a magical light flashed, and dozens of fire-ash snakes quickly expanded in front of Sean's ring of fire!

"Fuck!" Sean said a curse word in front of others for the first time, but no one cared about it.

The level of Sean's spell was not high enough, so the flames formed could only form a small circle, and it became crowded with just a few people standing there. The fire-ash snakes, under the instructions of the Parseltongue, quickly surrounded the entire fire.

lock up.

"Enjoy it all, ha..." The voice laughed happily, and then there was no more movement.

The person who didn't know whether he was Voldemort didn't take action personally, which was barely good news for Sean.

However, the swollen ash snakes surrounded them, and then they all trembled.
