Chapter 957: Silver Animals
In fact, Hermione's arrangement was well thought out.
The members plus a Neville were placed outside the side door of the hall, not just so that they could protect the injured in the hall in time for an accident in the hall of St. Mungo.
Since the side door was the only way to the temporary ward at the back, there was only an "L" shaped corridor between the two. If something happened to Harry's side, then the three groups of people who were guarding here would be able to rush over and help as soon as possible.
However, although it is said that it was the first time to arrive, there is still a distance between the two sides.
"Boom-"
At the first muffled sound, Neville and Ginny jumped up from the floor of the hallway. They subconsciously glanced at each other, and immediately greeted everyone who was resting in place.
"Take out your wands, don't mess with each group, just follow the plan you just set-"
"Ginny, I'll take a look at the situation first."
Right now, in a slightly narrow corridor, this team of five, a total of fifteen people, must act in an orderly manner. Otherwise, once a battle breaks out, it is very easy to cause unnecessary casualties due to self-disarray.
That's what Hermione had told her several times, and Ginny, who had trained in Quidditch and knew the importance of coordination, clearly thought so.
The real battle is not a point-to-point duel between wizards, it is a real death.
In the previous disaster, everyone has tasted the cruelty of death, even if the big guys who can stay here are not afraid of death, but no one wants to die for making meaningless mistakes.
"Okay, we'll be right here! Be careful yourself—"
That being said, not long after Neville left, Ginny had already chased after him with three teams.
"Bang!"
Just then, a second loud bang rang through the corridor, and Neville, who was running at the front, paused.
"Harry!"
He saw the embarrassed figure coming out of the corner of the hallway, and before he even needed to make a close look, Neville noticed that it was Harry lying on the floor.
However, Harry, who had fallen to the ground, looked up at the other end of the hallway as if he hadn't heard Neville's voice at all.
Seeing that Harry was clutching his waist, but didn't seem to be too badly injured, Neville hurried two steps forward and turned his head to look at Harry's line of sight.
The black creature that had collapsed in the hallway, almost smashing the walls...... Could it be the big spider that Maca left behind in St. Mungo?
Probably because his eight feet were folded together and his body was curled up and twisted, Neville couldn't figure out what the black mass was.
And it was the next moment, when a big man covered in black fog bent down and walked out of the door, that Harry, who was a little stunned by surprise, hurriedly came back to his senses.
"Neville? You go and call ......"
He stood up straight, holding his waist with one hand and holding the ground with the other. But halfway through his words, he shook his head again, and directly picked up the Sorting Hat that had fallen to the side and regained it in his hand.
"No, forget it...... Don't come here, Ginny, this guy is not an enemy that can be dealt with with ordinary spells. Next...... Just seal this corridor! ”
"Harry, we can still give it a try," Neville said as he looked at Harry, "it's too dangerous for you to do that. And even with the Gryffindor Sword, there's no guarantee that we'll be able to kill the big man......"
But Harry shook his head.
"Let's go! Otherwise, it won't be too late—" he said, casting a determined look behind Neville, "Ginny, listen to me, seal this place." ”
He'd cast a powerful spell on the big guy before, but the effect was almost nil.
Now, the creature was covered in a black mist like flames, and even the spiders' petrification talents didn't work against it. This kind of magic resistance, I'm afraid that even the simultaneous casting of spells can only give it an itch, right?
"I see, Harry, you must-"
"No, wait, let me try."
Ginny, who had just arrived with everyone here, saw the calmness and determination in Harry's expression, and she had already wanted to trust her boyfriend's judgment, but Neville interrupted her next words.
And at this time, the big man with black fog all over his body had already rushed towards them!
At the sound of rumbling footsteps, Neville suddenly stood in front of Harry, and his wand pointed straight ahead.
"Neville, normal spells don't work on that guy!"
Harry's mood at the moment was actually very complicated, if he had to ask who here did not want to use the Gryffindor Sword the least, it would undoubtedly be himself.
So the moment Neville stood in front of him, he was actually relieved.
However, as soon as this thought came to him, he was violently extinguished by himself—in order to be able to really pick up that sword, in order to use it to protect everyone's lives, he did not allow himself to become so weak.
"Na-" "Calling the gods to protect you!" ”
Before Harry could speak, he saw a silvery-white mist erupt from Neville's right hand and spurt towards the enemy in an instant.
In the corridor, the mist of light flowed rapidly, and on the way, it turned into a burly and fierce silver lion.
For any Gryffindor, the Patronus in the form of a lion is definitely significant. Although I had heard about Neville's changes before, it was obviously not as shocking as what I had seen with my own eyes.
It's just that...... What does it mean to use the Patronus Charm on that big man?
In the modern wizarding world, the "Patronus Charm" is a special spell that has been passed down for a long time, and not many people know about it.
It was a wizard with great wisdom like Dumbledore who realized the great potential of this spell and tried to use it in a number of advanced ways.
Of course, the current Neville could not have the knowledge and vision of Dumbledore, but the previous battles in the city of London had also given him a lot of knowledge of his Patronus.
When he saw the black mist on the big man's body, he immediately thought of the monsters that looked like Dementors at that time.
Sure enough, just as Neville's Silver Lion Patronus pounced on the opponent, the two opponents with a slight difference in size fought violently.
The silver male lion is faster than the other party in speed, especially in a small area, it can fly freely, it is particularly good at grappling;
However, the strength of the big man is quite amazing, and his gestures frequently leave scars on the walls and ground, which makes people feel terrified when they look at it.
But in any case, Neville's Patronus was indeed fighting the terrifying big man, and for a short time there was even a faint sense of parity.
"Attention everyone! Use everything that can condense the Patronus! Together, we're helping Neville—"
Ginny was the first to react, and immediately woke all three groups out of their surprise. Immediately after, the crowd immediately resounded with the sound of the Patronus Charm, and then a brilliant silver mist of light also rose.
Harry, who had usually been the fastest to react in the past, was a beat slower than everyone else this time.
"Call the gods to protect you."
As Harry's wand threw a mist of light, a silver stag Patronus leaped out of it, jumping and running, rushing down the hallway with other silver-sized animals.
But at this second, Harry himself was inexplicably distracted.
"He's still a big boy after all!"
In his hand, the Sorting Hat, who hadn't spoken for a long time, muttered softly, but it didn't attract anyone's attention.
Not to mention what Harry was thinking, all eyes were on the front at the moment. When a large group of glittering patronus spirits joined the ranks of the battle, the pressure on the silver lion was significantly reduced.
Each Patronus attacked the big man covered in black mist in their own way, and nimbly dodged when the opponent raised his leg or smashed his fist. The power of everyone is constantly proving the truth of the proverb "If there are more ants, you may be able to bite the elephant to death".
If there's a downside to this, it's probably that there are too many Patronus, so you can't interfere with casting other spells, right?
Gradually, everyone noticed that the black fog on the big guy seemed to be getting thinner and thinner.
"Ahh
Since it is a battle, it is inevitable that there will be damage. The unidentified big man was indeed incredibly strong, and even during the siege, he hit several Patronus Saints with his heavy fists wrapped in black flames.
As several silver animals exploded into a large mist of light, several exclamations rang out from the crowd at the same time.
It is the spiritual will of the wizard who condenses the guardian spirit, and if the guardian god is forcibly scattered, it will naturally make its creator suffer from the impact of the spiritual level.
Ginny helped a female classmate, and after confirming that the other was only feeling dizzy, she hurriedly returned her gaze to the battle in the hallway.
"Ginny, what's going on here...... Oh! ”
And it was at this time that the members rushed over. She was startled at first, but soon understood the situation here.
"Everyone, prepare the Patronus Charm, and make up for the combat power over there depending on the situation......"
She spoke to everyone before she passed through the three groups on Ginny's side and walked over to Harry and Neville on the other side.
"Are you alright?"
It was Hermione's decision to let Harry stay at the door of the storeroom, and when something happened here, the first thing she thought of was Harry, who was in charge of the area.
As soon as she saw that the other party was holding her waist, she suddenly asked worriedly.
"Ah...... Well. No, I'm fine, I just got a little bump......"
Harry shook his head and said nothing more.
