Chapter 61: The Assassin in the Pupil

"What's going on out there?"

In the midst of the noise, Anna and Audrey, who knew nothing, looked at each other.

The bell for the emergency call rang only three times before it fell silent. Soon after the fifth-grader whispered something to Madame Maxim, the noise began to grow louder, and everyone whispered something to each other. An uneasy atmosphere spread around the area, and all kinds of strange rumors came from the audience on the other side, each of which was very serious and terrifying.

There was chaos in the dueling arena.

"Quiet! Be quiet! Madame Maxim had to hold her wand to her throat and make a loud, piercing voice with a spell to silence everyone.

"We can't say for sure if someone is actually ringing the bell, and it's likely just a bad joke. If I were to find out which trickster this was a prank, I would undoubtedly be expelled from the school. Madame Maxim showed her absolute majesty, and her angry gaze swept across the room, and the space was suddenly silent. But for the sake of your safety, we must treat this state of emergency as if it were real. This duel match has been cancelled, and everyone is asked to follow emergency evacuation procedures - taught by each grade. ”

The professors in the faculty chair stood up one after another.

"Gather your students from all grades to you right now and check if there are any students who aren't here. and began to work on spell reinforcement and positional magic for the dueling arena. Hogwarts ladies and gentlemen, please rest here for a moment until we have confirmed the safety of the castle before leaving. During this time, our Charms Professor Gray will be by your side the whole time, and if you need anything, don't hesitate to mention it - the others come with me, and I'll see who has the audacity to go wild in Beauxbatons' castle! ”

Everyone immediately took action, and the grade teachers walked into the pre-rehearsed area, launched the corresponding grade numbers in mid-air with their magic wands, and began to gather the students in charge of them. Madame Maxim and the other professors were furious and left the arena first.

"See her face," Anna pulled Audrey through the crowd, looking for their grade level to teach. "Maybe it really has something to do with that cloaked monster, think about it, there was a whole squad of Aurors in the castle, but in the end they were still forced to send a signal for help. The situation out there must be terrible now. ”

"Then Britney, she's ......," Audrey said, a worried look on her face. I don't know if she's helping Delacour's sister take care of her sister or resting in the school hospital, and Britney is not a student of Beauxbatons, so even if she hears the bell, she doesn't know where to take refuge. ”

Anna hesitated.

"But it's not safe outside right now...... Besides, Britney had told us not to leave the dueling arena. ”

"Of course we don't have to leave, but we can explain this to Professor Gray, who is in charge of all the exchange students from Hogwarts, and this kind of thing will definitely not sit idly by."

The two men agreed, and they found the place where the Hogwarts students had gathered and explained the situation to Professor Gray. The conscientious Professor Gray was reluctant to leave at first. But he apparently couldn't resist the Hogwarts crowd's pleas - when it was revealed that Britney was likely to be alone in the school hospital, Katie Wendy and the others were worried.

"Professor, there are so many people here, and there are so many professors here, it's actually safe enough. You might as well accompany Anna and the others to the castle to find Britney, she just duel so hard, if something bad happens...... Boom~"

As she said this, tears swirled desperately in Wendy's eyes, as if they could fall without saying a word.

How did Professor Gray know that this little girl, who looked as immature as a freshman, was actually an old goblin who was about to graduate. Under Wendy's pitiful tearful attack, he was almost instantly defeated, and after being informed by the other grade teachers, he left the dueling arena alone.

But less than two minutes after he went out, Professor Gray returned.

"You don't need to worry, that girl named Britney is resting in the school hospital right now." As he spoke, Professor Gray still had a look of surprise on his face. "There's been a terrible battle out there - the castle is littered with ruins, and every corner of the clubroom seems to have been blown down by a spell. Through the window, you can vaguely see that there are still people fighting on the side of the arch of the dead trees, and when the two giant trees hit the ground, the castle seems to feel a tremor! ”

Hearing Professor Gray's speech, everyone gathered around and asked in a big voice.

"Professor, what's going on with Madame Maxim? What about the Aurors? ”

"Also, Professor, have you seen Thomson? She started saying this morning that she couldn't come over to watch the game, is she safe now? ”

Gray's shiny bald head began to sweat.

"Wait a minute, I didn't actually see much, I don't know what you're talking about - it's just that Lady Mary from the Ministry of Magic just happened to run down the stairs, and I casually asked when I bumped into her at the staircase on the second floor. Don't panic, Lady Mary said that the Aurors are on the top floor, and the situation is generally under control. No one should get hurt. ”

Mary?

Hearing this, Anna turned around and gave Audrey an uneasy look.

"Do you remember what Britney said this morning?" Taking advantage of the chaos of the crowd and everyone wanting to hear what was happening outside, she pulled Audrey into a corner where no one was paying attention and whispered. "Britney said that the Aurors last night were the ones that Mary knocked unconscious, and now, she was supposed to be with her fellow Aurors to control the scene, how could she suddenly sneak down alone? And it's not back to the dueling arena to report the news? ”

"You're saying this Mary is cheating on Professor Gray!" Audrey covered her mouth, her eyes widening. "But what is she trying to do? As long as this lie waits for Madame Maxim to return to the dueling arena, everything will be self-defeating, right? ”

"And what if she doesn't need to worry about what happens when Maxim returns?" Anna lowered her voice and said softly.

"What if by the time the dust settles, this woman named Mary is no longer in Beauxbatons?"

…………

The two men were silent for a moment, then they squeezed into the crowd and asked Professor Gray loudly, who was describing the post-war scene.

"Professor!" Anna tiptoed, "Do you know which way Lady Mary is going?" Did she steal ...... I mean, did she have anything in her hands? A satchel or something? ”

Professor Gray seemed to be puzzled by the question coming from the crowd.

"She must have been going to the gate at that moment, and I heard her look like she was going to help out - if you want to say something, she really seems to have that little old wooden box in her hand? Strange, what do you ask this for? ”

He stared at the crowded head in the crowd with some confusion, and the guy who was still asking questions just now seemed to have disappeared into the sea of people.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The Year Leaders were hurrying to reinforce the spells in the dueling arena, swinging their wands from one end of the arena to the other, and a yellow mist of light poured out of the rod and sank into the symbol-painted walls. According to Beauxbatons' emergency evacuation guide, when the walls are solidified, the instructors will begin to cast a spell on the gate - at which point, except for Maxim and other teachers who are qualified to unlock the gate, the entire dueling arena will be completely turned into a closed and solid chamber.

Audrey and Anna had to get out of here before they did.

Fortunately, because of Professor Gray, the students' attention was on the Hogwarts exchange students, and the teachers were focused on casting spells, so few people paid attention to the movement coming from the side of the door. So taking advantage of the moment when the teachings closest to the door were staggered away, the two secretly opened a crack in the door and squeezed out of the gap.

"It's my problem." Anna, who was running down the corridor, was in a sad mood. "If only I had believed Britney's words, if you had taken the wizard card with you, it wouldn't have been stolen by Mary. I'm really sorry......"

"It's okay, Anna." Audrey followed her closely, trying to comfort her. "You're just worried about me being deceived, I understand. And it hasn't really been stolen yet, as long as we move fast enough. ”

Anna knew that this was just a pretext for her close friend to comfort herself, after all, it had been almost five minutes since Mary had met Professor Gray in the stairwell. Five minutes was enough for Mary to walk through the vestibule and down the path at the gate, and their only hope was that the giant tree guarding the doorway would help delay some time.

The two men left the hallway and stepped into the foyer.

"Anna! You see! Audrey suddenly became excited, she pointed to the door, and said loudly.

Anna looked up.

Walls of earth have destroyed the plains' meadows, littered with gray-brown clods and large pits. In the distance, two giant trees crisscrossed were writhing wildly, and the dust under the trees was flying, and the light of colorful spells was not flashing in the middle.

The battle isn't over yet!

They hurried out of the castle and toward the arch of the dead trees, praying in their hearts that they would see Maryβ€”but when they got closer to the scene of the battle, they did not dare to go any further. They lurked behind a broken wall, two pairs of eyes staring at it in unison, their eyes full of fear and panic.

What kind of thing is this?

Like the cloth of a parachute, a large black thing was trembling with the branches of an ancient tree. Its body was engraved with red symbols, as if it had just slipped out of a pool of blood, and the thing let out a piercing and high-pitched cry, and then the front end was raised high, wrapping a bucket-thick branch of the ancient tree in itβ€”the symbol on the body was bloody, and a click was heard, and the branch as hard as gold and stone was broken in two, and the wrapped part dissolved without a trace.

It took a long time for Audrey to react. "This thing might be the Voldemort Bat that Britney was talking about...... It's no wonder that a living person can disappear quietly. It's terrible that such a monster can be mixed up in the castle. ”

"It is precisely because of this that no one will think about the situation that the murderer is a non-human monster, who can think that the murderer is actually a piece of cloth - hey! Oh my God, isn't that Britney! Halfway through speaking, Anna suddenly tugged at Audrey and pointed to the root of the ancient tree.

When the two of them looked away from the behemoth's body, they fully realized the other side of the battlefield.

It's not just a battle between magical creatures.

Two figures, one large and one small, stood among the intertwined roots, the smaller figure huddled behind the larger figure, clutching her robes tightly as the purple glow shone above her wand. A spell of that color had only been seen in one place by two people.

It's Britney, it's Britney!

The man seemed to say something, and the purple ball of light was thrown out and submerged into a thick branch of the ancient tree, and then, the slow speed was as fast as lightning in an instant. The thick branches of the bucket swung out, and the speed almost left an afterimage in the eyes of the two of them - pop!

With a thud, the rags on the ground were slammed into the ground by the whizzing branches, leaving a crack two or three feet deep in the already devastated grass.

At the same time, a huge red fireball was summoned and smashed into the chasm from mid-air like a meteorite. With the sound of a violent explosion, the flames soared into the sky, and the front of the ancient tree turned into a sea of fire in an instant.

Britney, is it so strong......

Audrey and Anna, you look at me, I look at you, and my mood is inexplicably low. And at this moment-

"Anna?"

Audrey's gaze slid over Anna's neck, and she saw something, and her face suddenly turned pale.

"What?"

"Mary, Mary she...... She wants! ”

Mary? Anna's heart was shocked, and she panicked behind her.

A thin figure flickered past herβ€”Audrey suddenly rushed out like crazy, without any hidden intentions, she rushed behind her. She raised her wand high.

Less than ten feet away from them, there was a figure of a grown woman.

And on her wand, a green light that symbolizes death and destruction lingers.

Audrey pounced on it.

"Britney! Be careful! ”
