Chapter 964: Flooded by Fire
"Harry, stand back! It's on fire—"
Neville, who was detailing his Patronus Charm, caught a glimpse of a raging flame out of the corner of his eye. And then he realized that Harry, who was facing him, hadn't noticed it yet!
Hearing Neville's warning, Harry quickly looked deeper into the hallway behind him.
Without a doubt, they were the most terrifying flames Harry had ever seen in his life - they looked like ordinary flames in color, but they were a torrent of quantity enough to startle anyone who saw it!
"Clear water is like a spring!"
He subconsciously let his wand spew out a large stream of water before the path he had been with Neville receded. Seeing this, Neville followed him and released the spring water vigorously.
Unfortunately, the two of them might have produced enough water—at least much more than a normal wizard, but it didn't work at all against the waves of fire that came from across the hallway.
"No, you don't have to douse it with water, it's useless!"
Harry tugged at Neville's arm, and then stopped the spell he was working on. It's just that although he gave up using water, he didn't just run hard.
Because he knew, just looking at the speed of the flames, he and Neville would probably be completely engulfed before they could run out of the hallway.
"There are many obstacles."
In a hurry, he first drew the trajectory of his swing staff in front of him, and only at the last moment did he throw it out violently behind him.
Suddenly, an invisible magical obstacle was left behind by Harry, and he himself did not pause for a moment, and continued to rush forward.
"Harry, the obstacle spell didn't work either!"
Neville's voice rang in his ears, and Harry glanced back hurriedly. Sure enough, Neville was already a few steps behind him because he wanted to see the effect of the obstacle spell.
"Hurry up and run, don't stop! Don't see if it works......"
In such an emergency, Harry's true abilities can be best seen.
To be honest, he is just an ordinary boy: sometimes he is very slow, sometimes he seems naïve, and sometimes he even falls into self-contradiction because he thinks too much.
But once he falls into a situation where he has no time to think, he will follow his instincts and act on everything. In fact, his subconscious intuition is the most valuable and powerful help he has.
"Quick! Hurry up! Oh, there's no time! ”
Suddenly, Harry grabbed Neville's arm and threw him forward with all the strength he could.
Then, without having time to think at all, he resolutely threw away the wand in his hand and reached straight into the hood of the Sorting Hood, which he had held in his left hand from the beginning.
"Sword, give me the sword!"
The Sorting Hat, which had been silent lately, finally spoke up at this critical moment.
"What a sword! Are you really going to put out the fire with a sword? He pulled out the Sorting Hat and shouted, "Don't dig it! Are you the snake that Salazar raised? Keep your eyes open and look closely! ”
"W-"
Harry didn't even have time to say the word "what" at the end, and with a look of bewilderment that had been scolded by the Sorting Hat, he was swallowed up by the torrent of flames.
As for Neville...... In a way, what happened to him was worse than Harry's. Because of Harry's flick just now, he stumbled and threw a on the ground, and he didn't even have the time to get up.
"Ahh
"Ahh
Two loud cries from close proximity to each other spread from the underground corridor to the hall on the first floor, causing many of the injured to jump from the ground in shock.
Not long after, as the members went to inspect in disbelief, terrible flames silently erupted from the staircase leading to the underground.
"Hannah, go tell Hermione about them, quick-"
In a hurry, Ginny shouted without looking back.
……
Just when the people in the hall were caught off guard by the sudden sea of fire, a petite figure on the sixth floor of St. Mungo's was also frowning slightly, as if something was wrong.
"What's going on...... Didn't Maca notice it? Or did he happen to have an unexpected situation too? ”
The one who was muttering to herself at the moment was Sarah, who was still maintaining the operation of the refining array.
It can be seen that although she doesn't show too much expression because of her own specialness, she is still aware of what is happening below.
It may be said that she was the first to discover the invasion of foreign objects.
But then again—if she had known about the terrible conditions on the first floor, and even in the underground corridors, would her performance be a little "too much" at this point?
Even if Sarah is fundamentally flawed, it can be handled normally...... For example, using some of the remedies within her alchemy power, there should always be one or two that can be thought of, right?
However, she didn't make any other movements other than standing next to the refining array and thinking silently.
After a few moments, Sarah lowered her head again, and once again stared at the still-glowing Lian Cheng Array with her large, bright eyes.
Finally, she gently lifted the palm of her fair right hand and hesitantly stretched it forward.
But before she could make any moves, she still put her hand down.
"Well, forget it."
……
"Hermione! Hermione...... It's on fire! It's on fire! ”
Hannah Abbott was Luna's friend, and one of the few friends Luna had that had come together spontaneously and spontaneously.
And this kind of friendship that naturally bursts out may be due to the fact that the two of them are somewhat similar in some rooms.
Hannah stumbled down the corridor to the corner, stumbled a few steps with her feet, and then plunged forward.
Why don't you say she's related to Neville?
If it weren't for Sinista coming up from the other side of the corner, she wouldn't have had the same face-to-face ending as Neville. The only difference between the two is that there are not so many flames chasing behind Hannah for the time being.
"Tom!"
Sinista, who had just turned the corner, was hit by this reckless girl in her arms, and even she almost fell to the ground.
"Hermione! Fire! What a fire! ”
Hannah, who didn't even bumper herself, didn't even lift her head, buried her face in Sinista's chest, but still shouted to herself. It wasn't until Sinista straightened her up that she scrambled to find Hermione.
"Granger is gone, quick! We also ...... No, you're going to wait here! ”
"Huh? Oh! ”
Hannah stayed where she was, watching the other man run on, her eyes widening as if she realized something.
"How did Professor Sinista ...... here?"
Putting Hannah aside, with an inexplicable face, in front of Sinista, Hermione and Sirius were speeding forward.
In fact, without Hannah's notice, the screams of the right people and the confusion of the injured were loud enough, even if they were separated by a corridor, they could hear it clearly.
But before they reached the side entrance of the hall, the two of them saw that flames were already pouring in from the outside, spreading straight towards them.
When the flames arrived, they were no longer as terrifying as they were in the underground corridors, and their spread was noticeably slower.
However, the nature of this flame still seems to have changed!
As soon as Sirius saw the flames, he immediately cast several different spells one after another, and Hermione followed suit, trying to stop the flames from approaching.
"It doesn't have any effect - retreat! Back off! ”
But at this moment, a figure suddenly walked in from outside the doorway that connected the hall not far away, and the raging flames under his feet were still moving.
Sirius glanced at him and almost threw a shattering spell at the comer.
"It's okay! This flame may just be an illusion and will not cause us any harm! ”
"Harry?"
Hermione, who was slamming back, habitually trusted Harry when she saw that it was Harry.
Sirius, who was next to her, didn't let her guard down, dragged Hermione back a few steps back, and stopped in confusion when she found that one of Hermione's feet had entered the fire.
He kicked twice in place, leaned over and scooped a handful of the flames with his hand, and then fell into deep thought with a puzzled face.
"Harry, do you know what's going on?"
Hermione didn't immediately check the flames on the ground, but asked Harry who was walking this way. Unfortunately, Harry only shook his head helplessly, and the doubts in his eyes were no less than Hermione's.
"I was talking to Neville in the underground hallway when the flames suddenly poured out from nowhere, and before we could get any far, we were all overwhelmed in flames!"
"In the underground corridor?"
Hermione was a little puzzled by this, but she didn't pursue it too much. Seeing that Harry seemed to be about to explain, she immediately waved her hand, and then said:
"Let's not talk about this yet, let's go! Take us to see ...... below."
When Sirius heard this, he also stood up, stepping on the blanket of fire that looked like nothingness and walked briskly with the two of them to the side door.
Hermione looked at Harry's back as he walked in front of her, and then cast a questioning glance at Sirius behind her.
Seeing Sirius, he immediately shook his head imperceptibly.
The two of them were clear to each other - it was probably Harry's words that made Hermione suspicious, and Sirius shook his head that he wasn't sure either.
Where did so many flames come from? What happened underground in St. Mungo? And the Harry in front of them is not the "real" Harry?
No one seems to know.
