Chapter 67: The Witch Shadow Empire

Hermione felt like she had heard it somewhere, but she didn't have time to think because she needed to do what the black cat said.

Then six different voices shouted, "Broken bones!" Six spells flew in different directions, and the oncoming shelves exploded after being hit, the towering shelves staggered, hundreds of glass balls shattered, and pearl-white figures floated in the air, their voices echoing in the broken glass and wood chips that had rained down on the floor like a torrent of people had never seen before.

"Protect yourself!" the black cat yelled, the shelf crumbling, and more glass balls began to fall from above.

The black cat jumped from one side to the other shelf.

Harry, they took advantage of the chaos and rushed forward.

"Run behind the door over there. Hermione said, pointing to a hidden door straight ahead.

Hermione was at the back of the crowd, and a Death Eater tried to catch her, but was immediately spotted by the black cat, who raised its black fur and threw itself over, pinning the Death Eater to the ground. Hermione picked up Levy at this point.

"Hurry up, Hermione. Harry shouted as he waited for her in the doorway, and Harry slammed the door shut as Hermione took a quick step through the threshold.

"Hurry up and be imprisoned!" Hermione said breathlessly, the door squeaking and rattling shut.

"How can that cat talk?" asked Harry, panting.

"I don't know," said Hermione, "I don't know. ”

"Doesn't that make sense, the cat is Animagus, fool, but her voice sounds the same as Halle Black. Luna looked at the black cat suspiciously.

"This is not the time to talk about this. The black cat said, glancing at everyone present, and no one was fine except for the unconscious Ron, who was being held up by Neville.

"We need to get out of here. Penelope said, listening carefully to the voices outside the door, "They're going to break it right away." ”

At this time, the chaotic footsteps and noisy shouts came from behind the newly closed door.

"They ran behind this door!"

"Here they are. ”

The black cat jumped out of Hermione's arms and looked back at them, "Follow me." ”

They followed the black cat to the other end of the room, and were about to run to the opposite door when it was like a huge, heavy thing slamming into the door that Hermione had just closed with a spell.

"Get out of the way!" a voice shouted anxiously, "Alaho Cave Open!"

The door slammed open, and Penelope stopped abruptly and turned, "Keep running, tell me to stop them." ”

"Butβ€”β€”β€”" Harry wanted to say something.

"There's nothing more, get out!" Penelope yelled angrily, "Hurry up!"

Hermione finally glanced back at Penelope and wanted to say something, but Harry pulled her along, so she had to follow them.

Things don't seem right, Penelope and the black cat are too coincidental, what the hell is going on?Hermione couldn't think quietly.

"They may have run straight into the hall. The gruff voice said.

"There's that damn cat!" said another.

Penelope sprinted into the shadows and was about to hit the wall when his wand burst into a powerful force that shook the room. Penelope straightened up, her whole body flew up, Penelope's seemingly weak body burst out with such a great amount of magic, it seemed that the entire building of the Ministry of Magic groaned.

The first two Death Eaters were knocked away by the spell, and the Death Eaters struggled to their feet, trying to figure out the situation and reorganize the attack. But Penelope had taken refuge behind a fireplace with a black-iron bar, and the room was in shambles as if swept by a hurricane.

"What's going on, a bunch of rubbish... Who, who's there?" Rodolphus Lestrange furiously kicked away a fallen Death Eater and rushed into the house, but by this time Penelope had already disappeared with the invisibility spell.

"Where?" Rodolphus Lestrange glanced at with a fierce glance, but nothing.

"They're running that way. A wounded Death Eater shouted as he pointed to one of the doors. It was the direction in which Penelope disappeared. The Death Eaters immediately followed.

Penelope heard a loud noise behind him, it was the sound of the warning spell being triggered, and they were following so quickly. Penelope frowned slightly.

She looked around, and the room was full of hourglasses of all kinds, which were dull and looked like garbage from the inside out. Thinking of Andrew's arrangement, "Yuga Dim Leviosa...."

Trying to levitate all the various hourglasses with a spell, as she passed through the room, footsteps were heard, Penelope lifted the spell, and the hourglass fell like a stone.

The hourglass fell to the ground, shattered, and the glass flew everywhere, and strangely enough, the hourglass bounced back into the wall, becoming intact, and then falling again, shattering - a Death Eater's wand lay on the floor next to the shimmering bell-shaped glass cover, and a huge hourglass fell from above when the other Death Eater was unprepared, and landed exactly on the Death Eater's shoulder, smashing him to the head and bleeding!

"Imprisoned!" the Death Eaters tried to stop the chaos, but an eerie magical force field rendered his spell ineffective.

"Ah......h But when the spell failed, the Death Eaters were all squibs, and they couldn't do anything about the weird hourglasses.

"Leave this alone, rush over! Lestrange yelled.

Eventually, the Death Eaters were able to resist their way through the room with the armor amulet spell, but by this time Penelope was gone.

As more people approached the Hall of Prophecy, they saw a scene that made them tremble, the Death Eaters lying motionless, blood spurting from their throats. The sculptures were all shattered, and the room seemed to be ravaged by a group of goblins for three days and three nights. The Death Eaters who had been hit by the Imprisonment Spell looked at them with eyes as bright as two light bulbs, and everything around them was a mess, not a single thing intact.

"Kill β€”β€”β€” kill itβ€”β€”β€”" excited Lestrange shouted as he raised his wand and trembled, followed by countless Death Eaters raising their wands and firing spells at Penelope.

Green, deadly spells surrounded Penelope in all directions, blocking all its path, and Penelope escaped them with his skillful dodging and incredible luck.

However, Penelope immediately realized that he had been forced into a corner.

The only way out was blocked by a large number of Death Eaters, wands in their hands, breathing heavily, trying to dispel the anger caused by the scene.

Penelope watched the Death Eaters in the corner in front of her with alarm, and she tried not to tremble with her wand in her hand, although her magic had improved like never before, it was the first time she had faced such a battle to the death.

Lestrange let out a low howl at Penelope.

"Avada suo!" Lestrange tried to kill it directly with a spell, but unfortunately he was stumbled. But more Death Eaters pointed their wands at Penelopeβ€”β€”β€” and for a moment the room was illuminated with green light, accompanied by a mournful cry that resounded throughout the Ministry.

Now everyone couldn't think, they could only stare at the door they had just closed.

When Harry first came in, he saw the environment. Immediately, a feeling of despair befell him, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, Luna, and the unconscious Ron who came in with Harry. They looked at each other, and they couldn't believe that this was a dead end.

"What to do?" asked Ginny.

"I don't know. Harry said dryly, his mind was confused.

Hermione also seemed uneasy, she leaned her head against the door and muttered, "What the hell is going on, what did Andrew do without me?"

Then she looked at Luna again, "Is this all Andrew's plan?Luna, you should know that you have such a good relationship!He led us to this dead end!" She walked directly in front of Luna, "No matter what Andrew's plan is, now we are all in danger, I want him to know what he is doingβ€”β€”β€”"

"What?" Luna looked at Hermione with a confused expression, "What are you talking about, Hermione, what does Andrew have to do with this matter, obviously Harry insisted on coming, wasn't Andrew kicked out by Professor Umbridge during the exam..."

"It's not like that, Luna, think about it, that Penelope, how did she know Harry would do this, she seems to know everything... And Ron, Andrew warned me about Ron, tell me to be careful..."Hermione said excitedly, "What the hell is going on?" Andrew seems to have known that Harry will have problems, and he seems to be in the same situation with Ron, but why did he let the Dark Lord tempt Harry, and us, he arranged Penelope to protect us and make sure that none of us lost their lives here..."

"I don't care!" said Ginny irritably, not even looking at Hermione, "this is not the time to discuss, that loud noise just now is not a good thing, we have to find a way to get out first!"

"That guy Andrew's must have been arrangedβ€”β€”β€” he always likes to arrange everything, whether it's against the stupid Umbridge or whatever, it's so simple for him, he won't forget our β€”β€”β€” Harry Potter, you're so stupid, you fell into this trap so easily, you're completely led by the nose by someone elseβ€”β€”β€”"

"Andrew is really good, I'll admit it, but I don't think at this point we just thought he was going to save us..."Luna said weirdly, as if she had first met Hermione - love had made Hermione's IQ directly negative?

At this time, a scream came from the room they had just come out of, which made everyone stunned.

"β€”β€”β€” this is β€”β€”β€”"

"β€”β€”β€” Penelopeβ€”β€”β€”" Hermione's face turned pale instantly, and Harry burst into tears, "She's β€”β€”β€”"

"Then it's our turn. Ginny screamed, "I don't want to die yet, I can't, Harry, take your wand and don't give up β€”β€”β€”"

"Okay, I- everybody ready. Harry said, standing at the front, facing the door, ready for the first wave of the Death Eaters' attack, "I'm sorry," he said, "I killed everyone, I ...... Didn't expect it to be a scam. ”

The room fell silent again, and everyone didn't know what to say.

The silence was broken by the click of the door opening. Everyone took their wands and pointed them at the door that was opening, nervously preparing for the rush of Death Eaters.

The door opened, and the darkness seemed to flow in, and Harry saw nothing.

"Be careful, it's me. Penelope's weak voice came.

A figure slowly emerged from the darkness, it was Penelope, her hair was wet with sweat, but her eyes were shining like stars, and the black cat followed her, followed by a person.

He was dressed in a black dragon skin robe, the burns of several spells on it made it look a little dirty, his black hair covered his eyebrows, extremely unsmooth and supple, and a powerful sense of magic enveloped everyone.

"Don't worry, Penelope didn't get the Imperius Curse, you can ask me any questions you want, and I didn't drink Polyjuice Potion. Andrew's calm voice rang out behind Penelope.

Andrew walked out from behind Penelope, always calm, even though there was a fire in his eyes at this time.

The black cat is licking its paws.

"Hermione, you can't behave like this, it seems that you will have to exercise more and practice more in the future. The man looked at Hermione with a smile.

Hermione couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Andrew ......

The two hugged for a while, and Andrew patted Hermione on the back, "The danger is not over yet, we have to get out of here first." Penello, according to the previous arrangement, you take everyone to leave first. ”

"What about you?" asked Hermione.

Andrew looked at the easy disk in his hand, "I still have a very important thing to do, and this matter will directly affect the future of Wizarding Britain. You are the beginning of this plan, and the next is the high grass of this plan. ”

"Then be careful. Penelope whispered. Andrew gave Hermione an encouraging look, and Hermione was a little embarrassed to go with Ginny.

"Do you need my help?" said Luna, crouching down and turning to the black cat.

I saw that everyone had left. The black cat twisted for a while, and after some transformation, a young girl appeared in front of Andrew and Luna.

"Sure enough, it's you, Hallie Black. Luna smiled.

"Hmm," Harley didn't answer Luna's question, instead turning to Andrew, "Are you really sure you can do this?"

"Of course," Andrew reassembled his wand, "even if you don't believe me, Albus Dumbledore. Besides, isn't your uncle Sirius too? ”

"Okay, I'll trust you again, and if you can save my mother, I'll promise you anything. Harley said coldly.

"Your mother probably doesn't need anyone to save her, that's her choice," Andrew said.

"Hmph, how is that possible, that person... That person will kill her .... I'm not going to let anyone hurt her again.," Harley yelled.
