Chapter 1: The Raincaller
Harry Potter and Ron Weasley side the players' tunnel, with Michael and several other Ravenclaw students with them. The morning air was good, and the students who had just finished breakfast were still coming to the Quidditch pitch one after another.
"Will they come from this side in a moment?" Ron looked at the sun with some uncertainty, it was cloudy today, and the shadow of a cloud was casting over Hogwarts Castle.
"I'm 80% sure. It should be three teams. Harry struggled to make the Irish poster in his hand stronger, and he tugged at it with his hand, causing the Quidditch players on the poster to scream in displeasure.
"I think so, too. Ron looked not far away, and Draco Malfoy was with one of his remaining henchmen, and Draco was also holding a large poster of England. Compared to Harry and Ron, Draco was clearly a well-informed person. Since Draco is waiting here, the players who come to visit should have come through this passage.
The entire circular grandstand was already full of people, with little wizards waving different flags and various oddly shaped mascots. A clumsy-looking green mascot flew around the stands, and from time to time a wizard tried to pop it with his wand.
Including the villagers of Hogsmeade, children from six wizarding schools gathered here, a total of thousands of people. There were no wizards to maintain order, and the Aurors didn't seem to notice the gathering. The professors at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry were busy with their own business, and in the stands, Xie An didn't see any of the professors.
The dodo kept struggling and chirping, and Xie An didn't think his pet was crazy. It was a gift from her mother, the Countess, to Shea for admission to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In the Muggle world, the animal was long thought extinct. In the wizarding world, this kind of pet is also more precious than any kind of pet - of course, Xie An's raising is not in the scope of comparison.
The dodo has a wonderful connection with Ravenclaw College, and a wizard once said that the Ravenclaw and the dodo are strikingly similar in their prediction of danger.
Even if it doesn't need to observe the trajectory of the stars like the centaurs, the dodo can predict impending misfortune with its magical abilities, and rely on its incomprehensible vanishing properties to avoid disaster after disaster.
Autumn cheered with everyone excitedly, and even though there were no star players yet, the atmosphere was already very warm. Xie An grabbed Qiu's arm, "We have to get out of here." ”
"What's going on?" but...," Qiu turned to Xie An in confusion. No wizard noticed this. Xie An tried to find a safe route from the crowd, but there were too many wizards, and every passage was full of wizards, and if he moved against the current at this time, he would definitely be blocked in the middle.
"It's not right, Hermione, Luna, come closer to me. Xie An said to Hermione and the others not far away. Aberforth, the bar's owner, turned his head to look at Shea.
Xie An carries the portkey with him, although this is not within the range of Hogwarts' enchantment, and it is possible to apparition, but if a potential enemy is really ready to attack here, then it is inevitable to set up an enchantment that prohibits apparition.
Hermione leaned over a little nervously, "What did you find, Andy?" and Cho noticed that Hermione had her wand in her hand. Both Cho and Hermione had seen Shayne fight at the Tower of London. They trusted Xie An very much.
Before Xie An could explain, there was a huge cheer in the stands, and Xie An saw more than twenty Quidditch players in three different colors fly out of the players' tunnel, and they flew as fast as a group of ferocious sharks into the open water.
More than 20 players, dressed in three different jerseys, flew out of the tunnel but did not divide into three groups, but quickly dispersed, and flew in all directions of the oval stand.
The players did not react to the cheers of the wizards, and Xie An, who had been warned beforehand, clearly saw that something was wrong, and these Quidditch players were seizing the powerful terrain, and they seemed to be preparing to block the entire Quidditch pitch.
"Something is wrong! The players look so bad!" Ginny was holding a small telescope, which had been bought from the Muggle world as a gift from Hermione, and although there was no video return to the camera, it would help Ginny better see the players' feints.
Some of the adult wizards also seemed to notice that something was wrong, and the Hogsmeade villagers stopped cheering. The latest version of the broomstick was so fast that in the blink of an eye, more than two dozen Quidditch players had flown to the high ground of the stands. The little wizards had to look back to see the star players in the outermost height of the stands. Xie An and the others were originally at the outermost and highest point of the stands. You don't need a telescope to see that the Quidditch player on a broomstick is being controlled.
"Look in his eyes! Oh my God, he's under the Imperius Curse!" Hermione exclaimed, trying to cover herself, as a loud "bang" came from the northeast side of the stands, and a wizard was knocked into the air.
Some wizards had already realized that something was wrong and tried to escape, but the controlled players, who had been prepared for a long time, fired a deadly spell, and within minutes, four or five wizards were blown away by the spell.
Screams erupted, and the villagers of Hogsmeade attempted to apparate, and enchantments were set up around them. Definitively, the illusion was banned. "Come closer to me, and I feel the doorkey still activate. Xie An hugged Cho tightly with his left hand, and stretched out his right hand to Luna, Hermione, and Ginny.
The portkey needs to be touched to take effect, and Shayne's portkey is so peculiar that he makes a spell from a thread in the middle of his wizard robe. At Luna's clothing store, ask the elf to help you cleverly inlay this thread into your clothes so that you can use the portkey if you grab his clothes as Shayne says.
This is obviously another terrorist attack, but I don't know if it was the work of the death eaters. Wizarding Britain was under the control of the Ministry of Magic, mainly because wizards still trusted the Ministry. If the Ministry of Magic is unable to stop the Death Eaters' terrorist attacks, I am afraid that the wizards will choose to hide and wait for the situation to be brought back under control.
There were a few loud bangs, it was some wizards who tried to use the portkey, but were violently attacked by the Quidditch players, the spell blew a large hole in the stands, the magic of the portkey was affected by the strong magic impact, and a wizard appeared in a terrible split, and his calf was left here.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, a wizard wearing a pure black wizard's robe and an elder's thick black hair slowly floated out of the players' tunnel: yes, it just floated out!
Among the dark wizards, there are only a handful of wizards who can fly, and the most important sign of Voldemort is that he can fly freely. The appearance of a flying wizard made all the wizards present realize that the situation had become unpredictable.
"Could it be—" Aberforth looked at the fast-flying wizard in disbelief. The wizard looked at no avail of Voldemort, he was much more burly, square-faced, and expressionless.
He hovered in the center of the pitch, the real centre, more than ten metres above the ground, scanning the entire pitch. All the wizards who were seen felt suffocated, as if they were in deep water, unable to breathe, and in an instant, the court fell silent.
When Xie An was swept away, he felt that his body was slightly hot, and a strange magic fluctuation invaded and was instantly swallowed by the hell picture. The autumn people were not so lucky. Hermione and Ginny's faces turned red, Luna fell on top of Shea, and Cho looked bad too. Xie An can't command the Hell Picture, he can only activate the Portkey. Xie An looked up at the Quidditch star not far away, and he seemed to be looking this way too.
The portkey has to carry so many people, and they are still in pain, unable to concentrate, and there can be a terrible accident. Xie An can't take any chances. Fortunately, this suffocation only lasted for more than ten seconds before it disappeared.
The black-robed wizard began to speak, his voice ringing in everyone's ears, "What a wonderful power. Magic is right! I've always believed in this truth. If you master the supreme magic, you will have the right to speak. Whoever holds the true magic holds the future, doesn't he? haha..."
After laughing maniacally, the black-robed wizard continued, "You may not know who I am, but I know who you are. I know which of you will become Minister of Magic in the future, and who will become the so-called Great Wizard. I have come here at great cost, not to worship you, but on the contrary, to make you know me, and remember my name: Raincaller!"10
