Chapter Seventy-Eight: Diversion (2)

Phoenix smiled, but not at all flattering. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"Do you think we're going on an outing," Phoenix rejected the offer without hesitation, "he's one of the fake potters, he can't do without, otherwise what would his bodyguard do." ”

"Don't say it," Moody gripped Ron by the collar, "to you—"

Moody had already pulled six egg-cup-sized glasses out of his cloak and divided them among the others, then poured a little Polyjuice Potion into each cup.

Ron hesitated for a moment and drank the compound decoction in his toast, it was rare that he put the big picture first. Hermione breathed a sigh of relief that the two were not in conflict, and Ron was not fighting to the end.

Harry felt that although he had seen some extremely strange things, the scene in front of him was probably the strangest person he had ever seen. He watched as his six doubles rummaged through his pockets, pulled out a suit of clothes, put on his glasses, and tucked their own things aside. He really wanted to ask them to respect his privacy a little, because they all began to undress without any scruples, apparently showing off his body nonchalantly, which they certainly wouldn't do with their own.

The fake Harrys dressed themselves and pulled out their backpacks and owl cages from their second pockets, each containing a stripped specimen of snow.

"Very well," Moody said when he saw seven well-dressed, bespectacled, and luggage-carrying Harry standing in front of him, "and this is how the grouping went-"

"Harry, your luggage, dear—" Phoenix pulled out his wand, and the two of them rummaged through their pockets, Harry placing Hedwig's cage on top.

"Now we don't want to get in the way with them, I'll send them to my house and let them wait for us there. Still, I want you to bring the Cloak of Invisibility - it will be useful. ”

By the time he slipped the Cloak of Invisibility into the pocket of his school robes, Phoenix waved his wand, and the chest, cage, and Hedwig vanished in an instant.

"Let's go, Professor Moody, at half-past nine, you take off. Phoenix shouted at Moody, who was checking on the fake Harry, "They may already be above us, good luck to you." ”

"So are you. ”

After saying goodbye to everyone, the three returned to the castle.

"Where are we going?" said Harry, who thought they were going through the woods.

"It's a secret passage that leads to the nearest Muggle town to Rihogwarts. Phoenix strode Hermione in his stride.

"I don't think it's shown on your live map. Because it only exists when it is needed. ”

Walking briskly to the eighth floor, Snape had been waiting for a long time, and of course, the scapegoat, Professor Bobin.

"He's fine. Hermione asked in a whisper.

As if there was an invisible rope tied to Bobin's wrists, neck, and knees, he was pulled into a standing position, still hanging his head unpleasantly. Like a strange puppet. His feet were a few inches off the ground, and his feet were limp.

Phoenix didn't answer, but took Bobin and looked over to Snape.

He nodded, raising his wand. Harry raised his wand in shock, before he could warn Hermione and Phoenix. A bright blue ** spell knocked him flying, shattering the stone railing and falling below.

"It's—"

"Phoenix is acting with Snape, he's a spy, isn't he? It stands to reason that he should stop us," Hermione instantly understood Phoenix and Snape's plan, "so he could get rid of suspicion." ”

"That's right. The three of them carefully held on to the broken railing and looked down.

Beneath Snape's body, a large cloud of crimson blood, his legs twisted into a terrifying shape. Fingers struggled to move the wand, trying to heal the wounds on his body.

"Let's go, Professor McGonagall will help him in a moment. ”

It was up to Phoenix to hold the wand and point it at Bobin, making him creepy and float along. Harry and Hermione followed.

"Responsive House!" Hermione said confusedly.

"yes, I didn't expect that. Phoenix smiled slightly, "The Secret Events and Magic of the Wizarding World contains all the secret records of Hogwarts, and this one I found in the margin, and someone wrote it by hand. ”

"The big book that you were inseparable from before?"

"Yes. Therefore, reading more books, reading more newspapers, eating less snacks, and sleeping more are really a golden word for people. As he spoke, an old wooden door appeared on the blank wall.

"Be careful, I guess this passage hasn't been used in hundreds of years. Phoenix walked in, and the two immediately followed, and the door closed silently as they both entered.

A short stone staircase, followed by uneven muddy ground, with no light around it.

"Hermione, you come and shine a light on us, Harry and I have traces on us, and to be on the safe side, we'd better not cast spells except you. "In the dark tunnel, the Phoenix voice reverberates slightly.

"Fluorescent flickering!" Hermione said softly.

The faint light could barely find a few meters ahead, with Hermione at the front, Phoenix and the unconscious Bobin, and finally Harry.

They walked in the hallway, Hermione's shadow cast on the wall, swaying like a fan. It's like walking in a never-ending tunnel, which feels bad. Phoenix took Hermione's hand.

Harry followed Phoenix, who still had Bobin floating in front of them, his staggering head hitting the low roof of the tunnel. Harry felt that Phoenix had deliberately failed to stop it.

"Are you sure—" Harry asked as he walked, more to ease the oppressive atmosphere here, "I thought there were only seven ways to get in and out of the school. ”

"It's hard to say, most of the old elite schools were attacked in the early days, and they all have their own unique protection mechanisms and evacuation mechanisms. These are the secrets of the school, and no one knows about them except the person concerned. ”

Hermione walked unfast, looking extra cautious.

"Why would anyone want to attack a school?"

"There may be too many reasons to mention. The adult world is complicated—" Phoenix tilted his head, as if in thought, "and it was only after the secrecy law was enacted that the situation was fundamentally improved." Because the Ministry of Magic is a powerful and violent institution, it is not at all the same thing as its predecessor, the Wizarding Council. The first batch of members of the Ministry of Magic are basically from prestigious schools, and the school has been strongly protected, so naturally they don't have to worry about their own safety. A lot of school secrets, I think only the portraits of the headmaster's office know, and I asked about it, and it should be fine. ”

"You're saying we're in a Muggle town when we go out?" Hermione interjected, and they started an uphill walk, not too steep, but still careful to hit their heads.
