In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Chapter 388 386. Armor

Although Jon didn't know what rude words Crouch and Snape were saying, he knew clearly that since they had made so many preparations, they would not let anyone interfere with tonight's dance. Him and Hermione.

In other words, when encountering these things, the best solution is for the two of them to leave directly. The Aurors around them will definitely not chase them.

This was indeed the case. After he pulled Li and quickly left the auditorium, Lucius received Little Barty's instruction, and the surrounding Aurors did not catch up.

This made Selwyn, who was lying on the ground not only slapped but also kicked by Jon before leaving, scream even more hoarse.

"Why don't you go catch him! My father is a Death Eater! My mother is the Director of the French Ministry of Magic! Isn't it true that the honor of pure blood has been tarnished in Hogwarts Castle?"

However, before she could get up from the ground, under the command of Barty Jr., the Aurors overturned Selwyn and lifted her up.

This made the arrogant pure-blood student look shocked and confused. She turned to look at Barty Crouch Jr., who had already walked over. Because she was not British and had gone to school in Beauxbatons since she was a child. She had little fear of Voldemort's notorious top thug.

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

"You yelled and behaved in such a vulgar manner in such a formal occasion. The so-called pure-blood glory is really brought to shame because of you."

His voice was cold, and his face was no longer as gentle as before. Then he waved his hand, signaling the two Aurors who were holding her to take her out of the auditorium.

"Send her to the solitary room and let her stay there tonight to reflect."

The two Aurors faithfully carried out his orders, and everyone in the auditorium looked at this scene in disbelief.

If they didn't know what Crouch had done to be loyal to Voldemort, then some people would probably believe his behavior now, even if someone said that he was a pure-blooded son.

But in the absence of Voldemort, and without Snape speaking out to object, it would be equivalent to Crouch alone in Hogwarts.

Among the people present, only Beauxbatons' vice-principal Bursted had a somewhat ugly face, because Selwyn who was taken away was his student, and now Crouch almost ignored him. As a professor at Hogwarts, he directly intervened in the punishment of Beauxbatons students, which made Bursted feel a little embarrassed.

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

In addition to the new purebloods and the old purebloods who were artificially divided by Voldemort, after France was occupied by him, his internal factions were further divided into two major frameworks, the British purebloods and the French purebloods.

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

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

Even now, Bosted felt Crouch's arrogance and chose to be patient, not letting the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart vent.

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

As Selwyn was dealt with, the atmosphere in the auditorium gradually returned to its previous state.

A burst of more cheerful dance music sounded than before, and the students re-entered the center of the dance floor and began 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 act when he was so rampant, and others did not have such ability.

Of course, Jon didn't care what the students in the castle thought. He and Li had already arrived at the garden outside the castle that had been temporarily established for the Christmas ball.

It seemed quiet here, but in fact there were countless students hiding in the surrounding flowers. When Jon and Li walked in, they bumped into a young couple who were in love with each other.

The dance is only halfway through now, but for some people, their best chance is when everyone is immersed in the dance.

Jon looked at the fairies flying on a bush of roses and said speechlessly.

"To be honest, the original intention of building this garden was to facilitate students' trysts, right?"

"Ahem, what else?"

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

However, such a change would happen very quickly, and there were no one around after arriving in the garden, so Li didn't need to be particularly careful.

"Aren't the professors in the castle afraid that doing this will cause death?"

Jon still remembered that the young couple he met when he first came in were about the same age as him. If he couldn't control it, how should he explain it to their parents?

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

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

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

"How could a normal Christmas dance cause death? We are not at war now. You are thinking too much. Jon, instead of thinking about this, it is better to think about how we will deal with the next time."

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

Dumbledore did not think that he might completely hide Voldemort's actions in the castle. Even though he did not fully control the castle, he had been operating it for more than ten years.

Hermione's mission this time would be considered successful as long as she could safely copy the magic script drawn under the four relics from the principal's office. As for whether it would alert Voldemort himself or be discovered by him, it would require Dumbledore to come. Something to consider.

But the first thing to ensure is that these magic texts must be copied in full. Only in this way can Dumbledore and Slytherin accurately judge how far Voldemort has eroded the castle, and in this way they can determine the next step. specific actions.

So Hermione moved very quickly. This time she was fully prepared, and the shorthand quill sent from France was already flying on the parchment without her having to do anything herself.

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

There is nothing special about these relics from the outside. Except for the densely packed and imperceptible magic text drawn on the desk that holds them, it looks like an ordinary desk with a few ordinary furnishings. .

When Hermione's wand fell on the Ravenclaw diadem, the diadem inlaid with blue gems lit up with a faint light, but did not shift in any way.

Her levitation spell didn't work as it should.

This was not beyond Hermione's expectation. She and Jon had the same idea. Since Voldemort dared to place these four relics here so openly, he must have his support. Obviously they are not so easy to take. Go.

Originally, according to the plan given to her by Dumbledore, there was no plan to take away these four relics now. These four things were basically connected to the entire Hogwarts Castle, and Voldemort chose to pass them. As a medium, from the moment they invade the castle, it is impossible for these four things to leave the castle.

Hermione was just making an attempt to fulfill Ms. Grey's promise. The crown was found, but there was no way to take it out. This was an explanation for her.

And just when the battle between Fox and Nagini had entered a fierce stage, the shorthand quill on the desk was still writing rapidly, and Hermione was about to assist Fox in assisting it with two spells, the room between the principal's office passed by. On the stairs of the tower where the Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance are stored, there was suddenly a sound of heavy footsteps!

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

It left the half-dead Nagini behind, turned around and glided down to Hermione's shoulder. Hermione also quickly walked to the desk where less than half of the magic text had been copied on the parchment. She didn't hold it like this immediately. After the parchment left and the magic text was not copied, the value of her trip would be greatly reduced, so her eyes were still fixed on the corner of the tower stairs, listening to the heavy footsteps getting closer and closer. .

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

The armor's hand holds a sharp knight's sword. Although it has gone through hundreds of years, the surface of the armor is still smooth and shiny, and the movements of the limbs do not have any sense of jerkiness, but are full of coordinated beauty.

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

After seeing that what arrived was not a living person, but a pair of armor that had been enchanted, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, but she still didn't let down her guard at all. Before the armor could proceed, Hermione When taking further action, he was the first to use the spell!

"Repulse at full speed!"

There was no dazzling spell beam, but a surge of air that created ripples in the air. Then the armor was suddenly knocked out as if it had been hit hard by a sledgehammer, and then hit hard. It collided with the solid stone wall of the principal's office.

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

"Bind quickly! Freeze with ice!"

After Hermione used two consecutive spells, the Binding Curse and the Freezing Curse, a rope appeared out of thin air and suddenly tied the whole body of the armor that was about to stand up from the ground. At the same time, the cold frost was on the surface of its body, and soon it was Completely sealing all its movable joints.

After doing this, Hermione did not stop the movements of her hands. She immediately turned around and pointed at Nagini, who was still flopping in a pool of blood, and waved the wand in her hand.

"The flames are blazing!"

The fire burned the snake's blood and illuminated the entire principal's office. Just as the flames were engulfing Nagini, there was another heavy footsteps coming from the corner of the stairs.

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

She glanced at the progress of the parchment on the table. The shorthand quill could copy very quickly, at least much faster than a normal person's handwriting. But even so, only half of the work was completed. She wanted to copy the things on the desk. After all the magic texts were copied, Hermione still needed to delay for a while.

At this time, the armors that came down from the tower also appeared in the principal's room. Just as Hermione guessed based on the footsteps, there were two pairs of armors that appeared again. Compared with the previous armors, they only held knights in their hands. In addition to the sword, one of the hands also held a shield, and the armor appeared thicker, while the other armored hand held 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 really a living person inside.

The more this happened, the calmer Hermione became, and she quickly waved her wand.

"Obstacles!"

Instantly, the air about five meters in front of her began to become thicker. The sword and shield armor seemed to have fallen into the water, and her movements obviously began to slow down.

But this slowness only lasted for a second. The shield it was holding flashed with a light red light. Then Hermione's obstacle spell was broken by it, and the sprint speed returned to the original state. , raised the knight's sword in his hand high, and suddenly slashed towards Hermione's position!

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

The sword that fell off 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!

Four thousand, and there are two chapters of three thousand in the evening
