Chapter 256: Attack (1st Update)
"Arthur was attacked?" Headmaster Albus Dumbledore frowned visibly.
He lowered his head, as if pondering something......
After a moment, he looked at Jon, "Do you need to avoid it?"
"Hmm!" Jon nodded, then took a few steps back into the cubicle with the meditation basin...... At the same time he closed the door to the cubicle.
"Armando, please go and tell Minerva that the password is 'Zizi Bee Candy'. Dumbledore looked at the portrait of Headmaster Armando Dippet and commanded.
......
First, I heard a loud noise, and it seemed that the stone beast was moving its position......
And then there's the sound of something rising......
In the end, only three crisp knocks were heard......
The door to the Headmaster's office opened automatically, and through the crack, Jon saw three men walk in.
At the top is Professor Minerva McGonagall, followed by Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, respectively.
"Oh, good evening, Minerva!" Professor Dumbledore looked up at Professor McGonagall, but he didn't seem to notice that two other boys were walking in, and didn't even look at them.
"Professor Dumbledore, Potter just made a ...... A nightmare. Professor McGonagall said, "He said......"
"Not a nightmare. Harry Potter quickly interrupted Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall looked back at Harry, frowning slightly.
"Alright, Potter, tell the Headmaster yourself!"
Fawkes didn't seem to be bothered by the noise inside the principal's office, she dozed off on her perch, her head hidden under her wings...... Dumbledore stared intently at the sleeping bird, as if she was more interesting than anything else in the office.
"Well, I was just sleeping...... Harry said eagerly, "in my sleep...... It's not an ordinary dream, it's very, very real...... I saw Voldemort, who attacked Ron's father, Mr. Weasley......"
After he finished speaking, the words seemed to echo in the air, a little absurd, even ridiculous. When he said the name "Voldemort", Professor McGonagall's breathing was noticeably faster, and Ron shivered.
Dumbledore leaned back, staring at the ceiling.
Ron looked at Harry and then at Dumbledore, pale and shocked.
"That's all?" Dumbledore asked softly, "May I ask, how did you see that?"
"How do I know ......" Harry was obviously a little dissatisfied with Dumbledore's attitude: "Maybe it's in my head!"
"No, Harry. Dumbledore shook his head, "I mean, from what angle did you see it, or where were you at the time of the attack? Are you standing next to the victim, or are you looking down on the scene from above?"
"I was standing in the ...... The mystery man's angle ......," Harry said after a moment's pause, then honestly.
No one said anything for a while, and then Dumbledore looked at Ron, who was still pale, and said in a stronger tone, "Is Arthur seriously injured?"
"It's serious...... He's hit a spell I don't recognize......" Harry's tone became a little angry, he couldn't understand why the headmaster didn't realize the seriousness of the situation......
But Dumbledore suddenly stood up, startling Harry.
......
"Evra?" I heard Dumbledore scream, "And you, Dressis!"
A yellow-faced wizard with short black bangs and an old witch with long silver hair hanging down from the spit next to him immediately opened their eyes, both of whom seemed to have slept soundly just now.
"Did you hear that?" Dumbledore asked.
The wizard nodded, and the witch said, "Of course." ”
"It's a man with red hair and glasses. Dumbledore said, "Evra, you need to raise the alarm to make sure he's found by your own people...... Dalyse, go to St. Mungo's now, and inform them that a patient with dark magic will be sent to them later. ”
Both wizards vanished...... Their portraits became empty.
"But...... Mr. Weasley could be anywhere!" Harry couldn't help but yell.
"We need an alarm, Fawkes!" Professor Dumbledore ignored him, stroking the golden feathers on Fawkes's head with a finger.
Fawkes woke up.
I saw a flash of fire, and the phoenix disappeared.
Finally, Dumbledore looked up at his three guests, "Minerva, please take Harry and Weasley to Grimmauld Place...... If you can, call the other Weasley kids up and give them an early break. ”
Professor McGonagall nodded grimly.
She patted Harry on the shoulder and pulled Ron on the arm, motioning for them to get out of here.
......
In the principal's office, there were only two people left.
"I'm sorry, but this class may need to be interrupted!" Professor Dumbledore said apologetically, glancing at Jon.
Jon struggled to put on a shocked expression, "Is it bad?"
"It sucks!" Headmaster Evra, who had returned to his portrait, gasped for breath, "I kept shouting until someone came and the Aurors spotted him...... He doesn't look good, he's covered in blood, but he shouldn't have been hit by the Death Curse!"
"Looks like Tom doesn't want to get too much attention!" Dumbledore nodded thoughtfully, "I hope Arthur is okay." ”
A minute later, Principal Dalis Devonte also returned to the portrait: "Albus...... He's been sent to St. Mango, and there should be no problem with saving his life!"
"Okay, excuse me......" Dumbledore looked at the other portrait and shouted, "Phineas?"
Headmaster Phineas Black was dressed in a silver-green Slytherin outfit, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly, not even hearing Dumbledore calling him.
"Phineas!"
"Phineas!"
"Phineas!"
The rest of the principals gathered around and shouted.
"Phineas is asleep!" Principal Phineas Black said aggrievedly, covering his face.
"yes, maybe you'd like to try this?" Principal Dalys-Devonte raised her wand.
"Whew!" Principal Black let out a strange cry, and hurriedly got up, smiling, "Do you have any orders, Albus?"
"Go find Severus and tell him to hurry to Grimmauld Place...... It's ahead of schedule!" Dumbledore admonished with a serious face.
......
With Principal Phineas Black slowly leaving.
Calm returned to the principal's office.
"That's right, Jon. Dumbledore's gaze turned to Jon again, and he asked kindly, "Do you have any plans for the Christmas holidays?"
"Yes, Professor. Jon replied honestly, "I want to go to France!"
