Darren, who pulled Hermione, Ron, and Ginny, turned into a lion, ran down the stairs three floors in one go, and then turned into the hallway, because there was the sound of footsteps at the staircase above, and the animal's hearing was much stronger than that of humans.

Trying to avoid possible tracking, Darren put three people on the ground, and then deformed his own human body, although turning into an animal can greatly strengthen the physical fitness, but it is not without a price, for example, lions can't speak human language......

"How did you end up here?"

"......" Darren's question was not answered, and Hermione, Ron, and Ginny all looked at him in amazement.

"Hurry up and talk!"

"You, you......" Hermione pointed at Darren with a trembling hand.

"I—what's wrong with me?" Darren was puzzled, especially at this time, "It's just human transfiguration, you know, now is not the time to discuss this, the Death Eaters are coming, it's Malfoy, they're going to assassinate Dumbledore! You need to tell the professors about this, and then hurry up and find someone! There are a lot of them, and if there are few people, they can't beat them!"

Hermione seemed to have just reacted, "Death Eater, ah, assassination, Dumbledore," she said in a panic, "yes, we have to, tell, then, you ......"

"You can't stay with me, it's too dangerous, and the Death Eaters will definitely not be polite to me, so it's best for me to act alone, and I know how to transfigulate, even if I can't beat it, I can always run away, don't worry. ”

“…… I'm not at ease. ”

"Okay, I'm fine, you go find someone, as long as there are enough manpower, drive those Death Eaters away, or arrest them, we can really be safe......"

"Darren, the way you are now," Ron interrupted, "I'm afraid your human transfiguration isn't good yet, remember Krum?"

"Krum?alright, oh, what?" Darren finally felt that something was wrong when he heard Ron say the same, "What do I look like?" Hermione quickly took out a small round mirror from her pocket and handed it to Darren.

"How ......" When Darren looked into the mirror, he realized that it was not himself, but a lion's face!

"......" Darren didn't say anything, put the mirror down, then lifted it up again, took a breath, and looked inside again, there was no change, it was still a lion's face......

"It must be something wrong with your Transfiguration," Hermione said with an effort to be calm, "just like Krum's transformation during the Triwizard Tournament." “

"......" Darren looked himself up and down from the small mirror, fortunately, it seemed that only his head did not change back, and the rest of his body returned to the appearance of a human, he raised his wand, waved it lightly, and cast a fluorescent charm, fortunately, this was quite normal.

"Alright," Darren shook his head, feeling the great inertia and the sound of the bushy mane rubbing against his shoulder, "it's not something I should be concerned about right now, Professor McGonagall will definitely help me back, but first, we have to live, or ......" he didn't continue, but the meaning was obvious, and he didn't have to think about what he looked like at that time.

"But," Hermione said suddenly, "the way you are, I'm afraid the professors won't know you, and if they see you, they'll think you're a Death Eater and attack!"

Hearing Hermione's words, Darren had to admit that this possibility was very high, so, "I'll try again and see if I can get back to the way it was." “

"It's better not to," Hermione stopped him, "Transfiguration class said that if the transfiguration fails, you should find a professional to treat it, otherwise, the Transfiguration Charms will stack on top of each other and cause unpredictable consequences." “

"So what should I do?"

"Let Twilight take you to a safe place and wait, and don't come out until we're all done," Hermione now finally regained her composure, using her wits again, "It's too dangerous for you in the castle right now, and both sides will see you as enemies." “

Darren wanted to bite his lip, but found that the lion couldn't do it...... "However, now I need every strength, and my combat effectiveness is very strong." ”

"So," Hermione thought again, "you hide first, and I'll get your Cloak of Invisibility, so you don't get attacked." ”

"Okay, that's it," Darren agreed at once, and Hermione's inspiration came up with a better way, "Let Twinkle follow you, ...... By the way, you don't have to go, I'll just let Twinkle go and get the Cloak of Invisibility directly. ”

As Darren and Hermione discussed his next move, Ron and Ginny, under their command, raced down the hallway to find help.

"Damn it, how did Malfoy let the Death Eaters in," Hermione said through gritted teeth.

"......" Darren didn't know what to say, he did know how Malfoy did it, but he didn't pay attention to it, because he thought that Harry would remind them that when the time came, as long as they blocked the Room of Requirement, they could beat up the Death Eaters again like they did in the Department of Mysteries, but as a result, it turned out once again that they should never be self-righteous!

After a moment of silence, with the crackling sound of the apparition, a flash appeared, holding the cloak of invisibility in his hand, Darren quickly put it on, hid his appearance, and then walked towards the professor's office with Hermione.

When they arrived at the Potions professor's office, the door was open, and Darren pulled Hermione under the Cloak of Invisibility, signaling for him to be behind him, so that if anyone tried to disadvantage, he would be the first to be ready.

The office was empty, no, Professor Flitwick, he was unconscious on the floor, no wounds were found, probably a spell, Darren checked with Hermione, at least he was alive, and they kept the door closed before leaving, in case a Death Eater broke in.

As they returned to the stairs, Darren saw Harry with a gloomy face, and he was bouncing up and running down the stairs......

"Harry, we heard a noise, and someone mentioned the Dark Mark ......" said Ernie McMillan as a group of bewildered Hufflepuff students in their pajamas poured in from the other staircase.

"Get out of the way!" Harry shouted, violently knocking the two boys aside and running down the marble staircase.

Darren and Hermione followed him closely, the oak door was blown open, the stone slab in front of it was stained with blood, several frightened students huddled together by the wall, one or two of them covered their faces with their arms, the huge Gryffindor hourglass was hit by the spell, and the rubies inside crackled and fell on the stone slabs......
