Chapter 538: Intruder
There was a brief silence.
Daphne had already drawn her wand, and the expression on her face was very nervous.
Astoria was also infected by her sister's emotions and scrambled to find her wand by the bedside. Although she is not yet old enough to deliberately cast spells outside of school.
"Jon did a lot of magic at the edge of the camp. She whispered, "He used the earplug listening spell, the beast expulsion spell, and the peace guard spell, and all the protective magic that he could use." It is impossible for those out there to hear or see us, no matter who they are. ”
Daphne didn't answer, but her hands trembled slightly.
In fact, both sisters understood that the magic Jon was using here would protect them from Muggles, beasts, or ordinary wizards...... But if it's a dark wizard with ulterior motives, then the situation may be a little different, and Jon's defense of magic is about to begin to be tested by the dark arts.
During this trip, there are many accidents: the Portkey landing location has changed, the mysterious cavern, and Harry Potter, who has also fallen here......
Even the Greengrass sisters, who were used to staying in the ivory tower, noticed something unusual at this time.
Were these accidents a deliberate revenge on Potter and Jon by the Death Eaters, or were they just accidents by mysterious people in exile, ghosts behind the scenes...... The hearts of the two sisters became uneasy. Especially when the sound of the stone branches being kicked apart was getting closer.
Heavy footsteps were getting closer, and they were becoming more and more scattered. It seemed that the people outside were scattered and moved around, as if they were searching for something around here.
"Why can't you find anything when there's a mark?" the gruff male voice continued.
Even if you can't see his face, you can hear a strong murderous aura just from the voice, and the owner of this voice is probably not a good person.
"Probably hidden through defensive magic. This time, it was a young female voice who spoke: "Apareciym!"
Those people outside are indeed wizards...... The sisters' hearts were almost in their throats. And it's probably a dark wizard, after all, this kind of remote woods, serious wizards shouldn't set foot in it.
"Astoria, you're waiting here...... I'm going to wake up Jon......" Daphne whispered.
As she spoke, she was about to walk out of the tent—
"Wait, I seem to hear a voice!" It was the tired male voice again, and his voice really became a little more energetic at this time: "There is really someone here, continue to look carefully!"
Daphne's face turned pale with fright, and the wand in her hand was not grasped for a moment, and she almost fell to the ground.
In this case, she simply didn't have the courage to get out of the tent.
For from the footsteps it could be heard that the owner of the tired male voice seemed to be coming this way, getting closer and closer—
"Fubute Ubcabtaten!" the tired male voice sang.
Oops, exposed...... Both Daphne and Astoria thought so at this point.
I only heard the sound of eggshells breaking, which became louder and louder, and the range of movement became larger and larger......
The protective spells around the camp are failing.
"Astoria, you should have learned to apparition, right?" said Daphne, speaking very quickly, "I'll rush out and get their attention...... You take the opportunity to apparilate into the cave before us, and then hide yourself until the people leave......"
"But...... Sister...... So what do you do......" Astoria argued in a low voice.
"You don't have to worry about me!" Daphne shook off her sister's hand.
There was only a "bang" as if a whole piece of glass had been shattered, and all the protective spells Jon had set before had been completely broken.
"Sure enough, there are tents ......here," the tired male voice shouted, calling to the others, "all come here...... Be careful, someone has run out!"
Naturally, it was Daphne Greengrass who ran out of the tent.
As she said before, she wants to give her sister a chance to escape. Also wake up Jon, who may still be asleep, and Harry Potter.
Just as she was getting ready to face several Dark Wizards, and even the Death Eaters—
"Wait a minute...... "I know her, it's the Greengrass girl!"
"You're ......" Daphne, wand in hand, froze.
She looked at the scarred, somewhat eerie face no more than twenty yards away from her:
"Mu ...... Professor Moody's ......"
......
Professor Moody's ...... And, Professor Lupin?" Astoria emerged from the tent as well.
She glanced around the crowd outside—
The rough male voice before was voiced by Mr. Alastor Moody, who was also Daphne's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts in her fourth and fifth years, and the somewhat tired male voice was owned by Professor Remus Lupin, Daphne's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in her third year.
It's just that out of nervousness, neither she nor her sister can hear their voices.
There were three other people, a thin, somewhat depressed middle-aged man, a chubby middle-aged woman dressed as a housewife, and a young girl with a strange hair color. None of these three people Astoria knew.
"I'm sorry, Miss Greengrass and Miss Greengrass. Professor Lupin said mildly, "We saw the Order of the Phoenix logo on the ground around here, so we broke in, sorry to disturb you...... In fact, we are just looking for a companion of ours. ”
"Are you looking for Harry Potter?" Astoria asked quickly.
Lupin and Moody looked at each other, then nodded hurriedly, "That's right, Miss Greengrass, have you seen Harry before?"
"Of course...... Astoria cleared her throat before briefly telling the five men about their experiences in the cave before.
"That's great, since you found Harry ahead of time. The strange-haired young girl of the five, visibly relieved, smiled and said, "And what about Headmaster Hart and Harry, are they in your tent?"
"It's just me and my sister in this tent, and they're in another tent......" Astoria replied softly.
The relaxed expressions on the faces of the five people in front of them all froze in an instant.
"What are you talking about, silly girl. Mad-Eyed Moody said angrily, "It's obviously only your tent here!"
