In This Hogwarts Without a Savior
Chapter 357 355. Attack of Hermione
The Hungarian Treetopsaurus, the Hesidian Islands Black Dragon, and the Ukrainian Iron Belly are all fire dragons with extremely strong physical strength.
Just when the professors at the observatory were using magic to defend those iron bellies, a Hungarian Tree Peak Dragon and two Hesidian Islands Black Dragons suddenly crashed into the edge of the tower!
The castle was shaken violently!
This is the highest point of the entire school, which is equivalent to a slender individual extending from the main body of the castle, so the defense is not that strong.
The shaking ground caused most of the professors who were maintaining the universal spell-removing spells to lose their footing. Two or three fell to the ground on the spot, and a few staggered a few steps. Naturally, they could no longer maintain the spells in their hands.
It was precisely because of the gap they exposed that the fanatical dragon breath finally broke through the blue barrier!
The golden-red flames swept across the entire astronomy tower in an instant, and the blazing high temperature made the professors who were hit by such a shock for the first time couldn't help but scream.
Alecto's robes were set on fire, and she screamed like a rolling ball, trying to escape from the astronomical tower in the flames.
However, before she could even run to the door, a bright red spell hit her!
"Heart-breaking and bone-cutting!"
The astronomy tower, which was in a state of panic, instantly fell silent because of this spell. Every professor present looked in disbelief at Little Barty, who was holding up his wand to cast a spell on his colleagues.
Little Barty's expression was as ferocious and cold as ever.
Alecto screamed wildly under his torture, but he stepped on her fat face mercilessly, then raised his head and looked at everyone present.
"I warn you, don't forget your identity! You are the master's servants, and you should protect his property at all costs! This castle is the most precious thing of the master. If it is destroyed in the hands of these beasts, Then without him taking action, I will kill all of you first! Then I will commit suicide to apologize to him! Even if this castle is going to be destroyed, we must die before the castle collapses!!!"
Little Barty roared like a madman.
Everyone present knew that he was not joking. This wizard's worship of Voldemort had reached a pathological level. Otherwise, how could a normal person kill his parents for an outsider?
As a confidant, Barty Jr. knows the importance of Hogwarts Castle to Voldemort better than anyone else. His words are not threatening. If it really comes to that level, then he will definitely Do what you say and let everyone in the castle die before this school collapses!
His cruel words shocked everyone present. Looking at Alecto who was still lying on the ground moaning, everyone temporarily gave up the idea of escaping from the observatory, even the professor whose body was already ignited by the dragon's breath. They all hurriedly extinguished the flames on their bodies, then turned around and pointed the wands in their hands at the fire dragons in the sky who were accumulating power for the next wave of attacks.
Inside the castle, the entire Hogwarts was in chaos.
Fortunately for pure-blood students, they have dedicated lounge administrators and even three house elves dedicated to serving them.
So when the fire dragon attacked the castle, these pure-blood students were quickly led to a safe auditorium. Unless the entire castle collapsed, they would not be in any danger.
The mixed-race students were not so lucky. Their dean, Greengrass, was still in the astronomy tower, and there was no administrator responsible for their safety.
These people could only scurry around the castle like headless flies, and finally returned to the lounge under the leadership of their prefects in panic and fear.
But this place is not considered safe. The lounge for mixed-race students is in a separate tower. It is very likely that it is also the target of some fire dragon attacks. In order to enter the castle, these guys are looking around for ways to break through the fortress. A passage for them to enter and exit.
Only the auditorium is the safest, because if anything bad happens, the students here can escape from the castle in the shortest time, and if that happens, the mixed-race hiding in the lounge There is only a dead end for students.
As for the "Mudbloods" who were locked into the basement as soon as dinner was over, no one cared. However, their current situation is actually very safe. No dragon can want to dig a tunnel and break into the castle from them.
In addition to the students, the professors in the castle were also in great confusion.
Amycus followed Barty Jr.'s order and continuously summoned the other remaining professors to fight back against the fire dragons that were attacking the castle. He also ordered the Auror leaders stationed in the school to go to the astronomy tower immediately. Go for reinforcements.
The attacks of these dragons were not concentrated, and Little Barty and the others faced the greatest pressure in the astronomical tower.
But even if they organized all the forces in the castle, there are only about thirty people in total including the professors and the Aurors who stayed here. When facing these fire dragons, there is no way for two people to deal with one!
Fire dragons have never been an easy target to deal with. Even the most professional dragon trainers or dragon slayers in America require the cooperation of at least five people to defeat them one by one and easily control the number of dragons or kill them. They train them.
At this time, regardless of whether the people in Hogwarts Castle have professional knowledge related to dealing with dragons, they are naturally at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
So this battle to defend Hogwarts Castle is very difficult for them.
At the same moment when the fire dragon launched its attack on the castle, on the fourth floor of the castle, in a secret passage, Hermione was holding the Marauder's Map and carefully observing every move of everyone in the school.
She saw that most of the professors and Auror guards were heading to the astronomy tower. The names of the professors were crowded on the tower, and their positions were constantly changing. It seemed that the scene was very chaotic.
The students have all taken shelter in suitable places, and Hogwarts Castle looks empty now than at any other time!
Hermione didn't know exactly what happened, but the dragon roars coming from outside from time to time, and the castle that was already shaking, allowed her to guess almost instantly that there must have been an accident during the game in the Forbidden Forest, and such an accident There is a great possibility that it has something to do with Jon.
This is not because she knows something, but because she has absolute confidence and trust in Jon.
Hermione didn't know what the situation was like outside and who was benefiting from the situation, but what she knew was that this was simply her best opportunity to take action in the castle!
At this time, no one would notice what was happening in the castle, because the professors did not have enough manpower, and there was no way to send another person to patrol the castle.
Moreover, the noise caused by the fire dragon was so loud that it could completely cover up some of Hermione's next preparations, giving Hermione, who had been waiting in this secret passage for a long time, finally a chance to go out.
"Fox, don't sleep, we have to get ready to go out."
The little girl whispered to the phoenix on her shoulder.
At this time, Fox also opened his pale golden eyes and opened his sharp beak, as if yawning.
After making sure everything was safe outside, Hermione didn't hesitate at all. She straightened a small satchel on her body, held her wand in one hand, and the Marauder's Map in the other. She walked out of the secret passage wearing an invisibility cloak.
There was no one in the corridor, but it didn't seem quiet. The surrounding walls and ground were shaking from time to time, and the roar of the dragon outside was shaking people's eardrums.
Hermione's steps were fast.
She didn't know how much time it would take for the professors and Aurors to deal with these fire dragons. She could only prepare for the worst and give herself twenty minutes.
She must quickly eliminate all wrong options within these twenty minutes. Even if she still can't gain anything today, she must verify all the objects that Mr. Slytherin and Professor Dumbledore suspected at the beginning.
Along the stairs, she did not slow down and ran downstairs quickly to the first floor.
After walking down the stairs, her hands and feet began to relax, because the pure-blood students were gathered in the auditorium. There was an administrator and many house elves guarding there. Hermione had to be careful about what they found. There was movement.
But as she walked along the corridor to the left, she saw that she was getting farther and farther away from the auditorium, and after making sure that there was no one else around, she relaxed her steps again, and even started to jog all the way.
The shoes she wore were specially cast by Dumbledore for her, which could greatly eliminate the sound caused by the contact between the soles and the ground. Unless they were standing very close to her, no one would be able to notice it.
Fox stood firmly on her shoulders, and could even open his wings slightly to help her hold up the invisibility cloak she was wearing, preventing the clothes that seemed to be made of water from accidentally slipping off her body.
Soon, Hermione came to the area assigned to her by Slytherin, and the girls' bathroom where she last found the faucet with the snake-shaped mark was also in this area.
Only this time, Hermione did not choose to enter the bathroom directly, but wandered along the corridor in this area, while constantly making a slightly hoarse and unpleasant hissing sound from her mouth.
The noise she made was not quiet, but it was all covered up by the movement outside the castle. There was no one else around, and no one could hear that there was a little girl here imitating a snake cry.
After three or four minutes of this attempt, nothing unusual happened in response to Hermione.
Hermione was not disappointed. She left here decisively, ran towards the direction of the stairs again, and climbed up to the upper floors until she came to the corridor on the seventh floor.
This place is undoubtedly emptier. Not to mention this floor, there is no one on the three nearby floors.
Wearing the invisibility cloak, Hermione quickly crossed the restricted area that was an absolute limit for others in the castle, and finally stood in front of an office door.
This place was no stranger to her. More than a year ago, it was here that she personally caught Jon, who had just finished killing the basilisk. It was here that she truly got to know the man who claimed to be "Dumbledore's professor." boy.
Now he had indeed become a professor, but of Durmstrang's.
Revisiting her old place didn't make Hermione think too much. She clearly knew how important the task she had was.
Arriving at the door of the principal's office, Hermione opened the door and walked in.
Although Jon had once breached this place and taken away something that represented the foundation of this school, Voldemort would definitely strengthen its defensive measures in the future.
She just touched Fox's smooth feathers, and then the entire body of the phoenix turned into a golden light.
The light lasted for a long time, and Fox did not disappear directly like the previous Apparition. The castle was deliberately deepened with anti-Apparition magic, so that Fox could not directly Apparate successfully so easily.
But just two or three minutes later, the golden-red light disappeared from Hermione's shoulders, and then Hermione stood in front of the door of the principal's office, making that "hissing" sound again.
There seemed to be a burst of movement in the principal's room, but the sound soon disappeared again.
Hermione didn't show any impatience, she just waited quietly.
This wait did not last long, and soon Fox's golden light lit up around her again.
After Fox came back, he was obviously more embarrassed than before he went in. His feathers were a little messy, but his pale golden eyes were still bright.
After coming back, it shook its head at Hermione, which made Hermione feel a little discouraged.
This was the last place they could guess, and they still found nothing. Although Professor Dumbledore certainly wouldn't blame her, Hermione herself felt a sense of frustration.
However, just when she was about to turn around and leave here, returning to the secret passage, something flashed through her mind that Jon had once mentioned to her while chatting with her on the Hogwarts.
She suddenly became a little excited, but quickly took a deep breath to calm down. Then without any hesitation, she walked straight towards the eighth floor. It didn't take long to find the place according to the impression in her memory.
There is a tapestry here, and what is painted on the tapestry is a comical scene of a troll hitting a ballet teacher with a wooden stick.
Opposite this tapestry, there is a blank wall.
Hermione took a deep breath and stood in front of the wall just as Jon had told him to do, walking back and forth while thinking in her mind.
"I want a room that leads to the Slytherin Chamber!"
My, my, I originally said I would finish it in the morning, but my laziness broke out and I broke my promise. I will write more tomorrow as compensation.
