Chapter 588: Back to School
When they opened the door again as before, they were greeted by a silver glow. However, he was easily dodged by Ryan, who had been prepared. He then knocked Lady Malfoy unconscious with an enhanced stun spell.
"OK, let's go. Ryan used the levitation charm to float the unconscious Lady Malfoy and waved his hand, and Hermione followed him in a small stride towards the entrance of the room.
"My mother, you picked it up?" Malfoy, standing in the entrance hall, anxiously asked as he looked nervously into the dark hallway, as he saw Ryan emerge from the darkness.
"Yes, we brought your mother out, but because now is not the time to explain, we brought your mother out after knocking her unconscious, but don't worry, it won't hurt him. Ryan explained that he was happy with Malfoy's attitude, and that at least someone who could care about his family was more valuable to save than someone who didn't know his family.
"That's good, that's good—" Malfoy breathed a sigh of relief, and after so much mental strain, he finally found a reason to catch his breath. "So, where do we go now?"
"Back at Hogwarts Castle, of course, and now there's only one place for you that can keep you safe. Without even thinking about it, Ryan said what he was going to do next. "Alright, you hold on to my arm, and we'll go back to Hogwarts now. Hermione will take your mother with her. ”
With a soft explosion, the four disappeared from the dark foyer. Once again, the Malfoys' mansion fell into complete silence.
"Ryan, Hermione, and Mr. Malfoy, what are you doing here, and what's going on in this place?" Ryan turned around and saw the little Professor Flitwick looking at the four men who had suddenly appeared in the hallway with a shocked expression.
"We went to get Mrs. Malfoy out. Ryan explained to Professor Flitwick. "Because everything that happens here begins with Mr. Malfoy's abandonment of darkness—"
Although Professor Flitwick was a professor at the school and the dean of Ravenclaw, he was not a member of the Order of the Phoenix. So Ryan explained to him the story he had made up earlier. After listening to the briefings, Professor Flitwick nodded a little heavily. "It's a damn war, and it takes you kids to fight bloodily. ”
"Of course, you don't have to worry about the trouble it will cause you. Looking at Ryan's brow as he thought about how he could explain tonight's events, Flitwick comforted him as he thought he was worried about killing the enemy just now. "I'm sure the people you killed just now are vicious dark wizards. No one will punish you for this. Alright, now let's go downstairs together, the enemies in the Forbidden Forest have also retreated just now, and I think the enemy attack on Hogwarts is over today. ”
After saying that, Flitwick took the lead and walked downstairs, still babbling quietly when he went downstairs. "Severus, why are you-"
"I've heard that your mother and Snape made an unbreakable oath, can you tell me the contents of the vow?" asked Ryan as he walked downstairs to Malfoy, who was walking beside him.
"Scarhead—Harry told you, right?" Malfoy, after thinking about his current situation, answered Ryan's questions as he asked, "It's actually very simple, it's just that he wants to protect my life and help me in any way he can, without hindering my movements." ”
"It doesn't seem to be the same as in the original book. Ryan remembered that the unbreakable oath in the original book had asked Snape to follow through on what Voldemort had told Draco to do, but it wasn't. I think this is related to Professor Dumbledore's current physical condition is not as good as in the original book, with only one year to live, so the plan has been changed, but I don't know what method Snape used to gain Voldemort's trust this time.
Upon entering the hall, Ryan found that the castle door was still closed. It seems that the enemy has withdrawn, but Professor McGonagall and the others are still keeping the school on guard to avoid being killed by the enemy.
"It's getting late, so let's go get some rest. Professor McGonagall was standing in the hall in a green robe, and arranged for them to come directly after seeing Ryan and them go downstairs. "Leave the rest to us, the professors, you've done a great job, and I'm so proud of you. ”
"That's right, Buck. Professor McGonagall whispered to the clearing beside her, and with a popping sound a house-elf emerged from the air next to him, wearing a neat and tidy tea towel with the Hogwarts crest embroidered on his chest.
"It's a pleasure to serve you, Professor McGonagall. The house-elf named Buck shouted in a high-pitched voice. "Excuse me, what do you have to tell Buck to do? ”
"Please take this Mr. Malfoy and his mother to the common room. Professor McGonagall commanded, and she could guess what Lane had just persuaded them when she looked at Mrs. Malfoy's condition. So she asked Malfoy to stay with her mother so that Mrs. Malfoy wouldn't be too nervous when she woke up.
"No problem, this gentleman, please come with me. With a snap of his fingers, Buck summoned two more house-elves, and asked them to use their magic to lift Mrs. Malfoy firmly in front of them, and then led Malfoy to a room on the second floor. Ryan and the others also returned to the Gryffindor common room.
After waking up the fat lady and letting them in, as soon as he entered the common room, Ryan saw that almost all of the Gryfin classmates were standing in the common room without resting.
"How's the situation going out there?" the other prefects came back more than an hour ago, and heard that the sneak attackers had been repulsed, wasn't that right?" asked Harry, like a cannon.
"Yes, that's the way it is. Now that it's safe, everyone can go and rest. Seeing that everyone was looking at him with begging eyes, Ryan comforted everyone. "The enemy failed to inflict any damage, and this time we won. ”
"Great, I knew there was no problem. "Hogwarts is indeed the safest place to be. "Thank you Merlin for your blessing. In the midst of the cacophony, the students' expressions relaxed, and then they walked upstairs to their respective dormitories. After all, it was already past 12 o'clock in the night, and everyone was already very sleepy, so after hearing that everything was safe now, they went back to sleep.
Only Harry and Ron stayed, and when everyone had left, they asked Ryan and Hermione what had happened tonight.
"The attack on the doorway is only used to distract Hogwarts power, and the real threat to the enemy is to try to bypass the magical protection of Hogwarts by circumventing the magical protection of Hogwarts through one of the two vanishing cabinets in the Room of Requirement. Ryan said simply. "I think the professors need to tell you exactly what happened, all I can tell you is that I killed all the intruders with Hermione tonight, and now I need to get some rest. ”
"Is that so? Sorry, I don't know. Harry sensed the brutality of the war and moved out of the way of the stairs leading to the dormitories upstairs. As Ryan walked past him, he was heard whispering a thank you.
Harry had always thought it was his job to fight Voldemort's lackeys, but today he was a little ashamed to hide in the safety of the common room and watch his friends go into bloody battles. So he said thank you from the bottom of his heart to Ryan and Hermione, who he thought was going on adventures and battles in his place.
"This war is not just yours, it is all of us. Ryan stopped, looked into Harry's eyes and said seriously. "So you don't have to say thank you to me. ”
After saying that, Ryan turned around and walked towards the dormitory, for him this long day was over, he could finally have a good rest.
