Chapter 155: The Battle of Hogwarts (1)
Neville smiled happily. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"What did you do with that dragon?"
"In a sense, it's released into the wild. Phoenix said.
"How's the Carrow siblings?" asked Hermione
"It's the same old age," Neville said, "it was not long ago. He pointed to a particularly deep wound on his cheek. "Amycus Kahlo wants us to practice the Mind-Piercing Mantra on those who are in confinement - and I won't do it. However, some people were quite interested, and Crabbe and Goyle liked it. This is probably the first time they've taken the plunge in something. β
"The two of them were eating on their heads. Phoenix said, "You still live in the Room of Requirement?"
In correspondence with their friends, they learned a little bit about the new order at Hogwarts. However, Phoenix only communicates with PA members, and doesn't know much about the Dumbledore Army formed by Neville, Ron, Luna, and Ginny.
"Yes, Rogge agreed to transfer it to us. Neville replied, "They're in the hanging classroom on the fifth floor. β
That classroom is weird, in an abandoned classroom on the fifth floor, you have to open the window and jump down to get there.
"But they're sharpening your knives with you. Hermione said. As they walked past a lamp, the light illuminated Neville's wounds even more terrifyingly.
Neville shrugged his shoulders.
"The real danger is that those classmates who have relatives and friends who are out in trouble will be taken hostage. Sheno Lovegood Sr. was so candid on "Singing the Odds" that at the end of sixth grade, they took Luna off the train when she was back for the summer. β
"Oh no!" Hermione covered her mouth.
Neville didn't speak, looking worried.
"Well, the situation has gotten worse since Luna didn't come back from school," Neville said, "and the Caro siblings seemed to know that I was behind a lot of things and began to punish me harshly, and then Michael Corner was found to be releasing a first-year student who had been locked in by them, and they tortured him terribly." This scared a lot of people away. β
That's when the passage starts to turn uphill.
"I couldn't ask anyone else to go through Michael's kind of experience, so I gave up on those dangerous practices. But we are still fighting, doing some underground work, until a week ago. At that time, they probably decided that there was only one way for me to restrain myself, so they went to my grandmother. β
"What?" asked Harry and Hermione at the same time.
"yes," Neville said, the steep slope of the passage, and he spoke with a slight gasp, "Hmph, you can see what they're thinking." The trick of kidnapping children to get relatives to follow the rules has always been very good, and I guess that sooner or later they will use it in reverse. The problem was, "he looked at them, and Hermione was surprised to see that he was smiling, and was immediately relieved, "they were too self-conscious. Grandma, an inconspicuous old witch, lived alone, and they probably thought they didn't need to send someone particularly powerful. As a result," Neville laughed, "Delix was still lying at St. Mungo's Hospital, and Grandma had fled. She brought me a letter," he patted the breast pocket of his robe, "and told me that she was proud of me, and that I was worthy of being the son of my parents, and told me to persevere." β
"Ever since he was used the Confusion Charm, his head has not been very clear. Phoenix said.
"Yes," Neville said happily, "the problem is, they realized they couldn't threaten me, so they decided that Hogwarts could no longer have me. I don't know if they were going to kill me or send me to Azkaban, but anyway, I knew I was supposed to disappear. β
They turned a corner, and in front of them was the end of the passage. Another short stone staircase led to a door, exactly like the one behind Ariana's portrait. Neville pushed the door open and climbed inside. Harry followed, only to hear Neville shout to some of the unseen, "Look who's coming!
As soon as Harry entered the room at the end of the passage, he heard several people screaming and shoutingβ
"Harry!"
Ron and Harry hugging each other.
"It's Potter, it's Potter!"
"Hermione!"
"Boss!"
Friedhelm hugged Phoenix, and Rogge and Phillip slapped him on the back.
The colorful curtains, the lamps, and the many faces dazzled Harry. Then, he was surrounded by about two dozen people. They hugged him, shook his hand, beat his back, rubbed his hair, as if he had just won a Quidditch final.
"Cool, I heard you and Harry broke into Gringotts. Malcolm asked with interest.
"Yes, we planned for half a year, but they still had to escape on the fire dragon. Phoenix said helplessly.
"It's our new addition," Rogge enthused, introducing two girls Phoenix had never seen before, "Hufflepuff's Margaret McWorth and Gryffindor's Teresa D'Arcy." β
"Hello," Phoenix shook their hands, "Neville said you're on the fifth floor. β
"I think it's pretty good. Teresa said happily, "The view from that classroom is beautiful." β
"Alright, alright, be quiet!" Neville shouted as the crowd retreated.
Phoenix had a first look at the room since he came in. It was so big that it looked like a particularly elaborate tree hut and like the cabin of a large ship. Hammocks of various colors hung from the ceiling, hanging from the balcony surrounded by windowless dark wood walls, which were covered with brightly colored tapestries, and Harry saw the golden lion of Gryffindor, which stood out against the bright red base, and the black badger of Hufflepuff, with a yellow background, and the bronze eagle of Ravenclaw, which was set off by blue, except for the silver and green of Slytherin. The room was filled with bookshelves, a few broomsticks leaning against the wall, and a large wooden radio in the corner.
Suddenly, Professor Snape's voice echoed in the hallway outside the door, amplified many times by magic.
"The deans of each college should immediately lead all the students of their colleges to gather in the auditorium immediately. Please act now!"
It was supposed to be the last class, and immediately the hallway echoed with messy footsteps.
"What's going on?"
The students around them were talking, and they looked at Harry nervously.
Harry felt a sudden, intense burning pain from the lightning-shaped scar. He quickly turned his back to the curious and excited faces. The Room of Requirement suddenly vanished, and he stood in a dilapidated stone house, the rotting floor ripped open at his feet, a dug gold box placed on the edge of the hole, the lid open, and the inside was empty, Voldemort's angry cries reverberated in his head.
"Potter is going to the girls' bathroom on the second floor and stop him!" his hand grabbed his left arm, an order that was immediately sensed by the Death Eaters at Hogwarts.
With all his strength, he broke free from Voldemort's mind and returned to the Room of Need, standing there slightly shaky, sweat pouring down his face, Ron supporting him.
"What's wrong with you, Harry?" Neville spoke, "want to sit down? I guess you're tired, right?"
