Chapter 273: Battle

"But you can't be "our" companion at the same time......" Ron sighed as he looked up at the dark zenith.

Hermione froze.

Is that so? She had never thought about it.

But Ron's words seemed to wake her up all at once, and put a question in front of her that she had been trying to avoid, that is, Ning An and Harry never seemed to be in the same camp, how could she be the "companion" of two groups of people at the same time?

At this moment, Draco Malfoy's feet stepped on the stone platform, and he struggled to climb the stone steps to get closer to Lucius, he did not have a wand, and he looked calm and fearless.

"You didn't make a smart choice, Draco." Lucius gritted his teeth and looked at his son as if he had made up his mind, "I taught you this, but you didn't learn anything really good...... I've got to correct your ......"

"So you're going to kill me? Or take me to the mystery man? ”

Draco looked at Lucius, the first time since he was born that he had stared at his father like this, and there was not the slightest fear in his voice, but a mockery in his voice, which Lucius could not bear.

He raised his wand, "I'm going to take you home—"

"Except for your weapon—" A spell struck Lucius's wrist as if he had been waiting for a long time, and his wand flew upside down.

"I've told you to hurry up." Walter then connected the dots with his wand, and the tip of the wand erupted with red flashes again

"Faint!" He roared, and the spell struck Lucius with unmistakable accuracy, and he fell straight back, a look of relief on his face as he fell to the ground.

Narcissa wouldn't forgive me if she did anything to Draco, that was the last thought that crossed his mind.

"Hurry up, Malfoy, we need to get your dad out of here, unless you want him to be imprisoned in Azkaban." Daphne climbed over the stone platforms, shoved a stunned Malfoy and shouted at him.

"Ah...... It's ......" Malfoy lifted his father's upper body as if he had just woken up from a dream, and carried it with Walter to go out, Samantha thought Lucius was too heavy and was obviously unwilling to carry him herself.

"What about you, Hermione? What are you going to do? Want to come with us? Daphne looked back at Ron, who seemed to be unable to move, and then at Hermione, who looked dazed, and asked calmly.

Hermione didn't say anything, she figured out that her connection to these people was only because of Ning'an, but if Ning'an wasn't there, she would just be a Gryffindor who didn't fit in with Slythering.

"Oh? I didn't answer yes, but it's full of Death Eaters, and it's dangerous for you to stay here, I can get Samantha to cast a disillusionment spell on you, and you can hide in a safe place before your mana is gone. ”

Hermione turned her head to see that the figures of Malfoy and Lucius gradually changed color and disappeared, becoming the same color as the objects around them, becoming a blurry transparency, and if she didn't widen her eyes, she couldn't tell that there was anyone standing there.

"Okay," she nodded, it did help herself and Ron a lot, and anyway, the Death Eaters were still around, so there wasn't much time to hesitate.

——————————————————————————————————

Harry and Ginny returned to the black circular room, and the twelve doors spun again, but each door was marked with flames, and a faint blue spark stood out in the light of the eleven pinches of red flames, which must have been made by Snape, Harry thought to himself.

The blue ones lead to the lifting fence that leads to the hallway, and the others go to other rooms.

"Where are we going? Ron: They're still inside. Ginny's eyes widened as she looked at Harry.

"I know—" Harry drew the dagger Sirius had given him and tried to pry open the lock of a door, but the blade was melted and the door was still locked.

"This way—" Ginny tried to push a black door, which opened, and it was empty, and they were back in the Hall of Time.

"Follow me, be quiet—" Harry hunched his back, this time like a hunting mantis, and cautiously tiptoed out of the round room, Ginny following him, neither of them noticing, and on the roof behind them, a small gray-black bird, tilting its head and staring at the back of their heads.

It was a beautiful pale-headed chaffinch, with a pale blue glimmer on its head, greenish-brown feathers on its chest, and its eyes were full of deep sarcasm. As Harry and Ginny stepped out of the elevator, it flapped its wings and followed silently.

"Now where do you think you should go—" Before Ginny could finish speaking, there was a sudden explosion and the sound of noisy footsteps in the hall.

"Let's go, it could be Ron—" Harry couldn't think of anyone else fighting at this time, it must have been Ron and they had run into the Death Eaters.

The two of them walked slowly to the door, Harry trying to hear his surroundings, but now he could only hear the sound of stumbling and moving, and the nervousness made it impossible for him to calm down and listen.

Circling behind a large traveling clock, Harry saw that the Death Eater, whose finger had been cut off and knocked unconscious by Snape, was still lying on the ground, dead or alive, and he motioned for Ginny to step over carefully, only to hear a noise of footsteps from the other side.

The three men emerged from a closet with a glass front and ran over in a frenzy, and Harry recognized the first one, and he was stunned.

"Akihari?"

As soon as he spoke, Akira saw Harry and Ginny, but instead of coming this way, she continued to run forward as if she hadn't seen it.

Harry saw Luna Lovegood following closely behind Qiu Zhang, and then Neville, who looked a little miserable, his face was covered in blood, and his wand was half broken, apparently he also saw Harry, with a look of surprise on his face, and then hurriedly gestured for him to hide.

"Hah, see where you can go!" Bellatrix Lestrange shouted and rushed out from behind, followed by the three Death Eaters to the left and right, and the battle began again in an instant.

Several stun spells flew over Luna's shoulders, and she turned around and blew up a large glass clock with a shattering charm, sending shards flying in the Death Eater's path.

"Get out of the way!" Lestrange yelled at the Death Eaters, and then a curse struck Luna on the left shoulder through the shard of glass, where it looked like she had been bitten by a poisonous snake, and instantly swollen and swollen to the thickness of a da/leg, which was terrifying to look at.

"It's all petrified!" Qiu Zhang leaned behind an iron shelf and returned fire with a spell that was bounced off by a Death Eater.

"Quick—get up—catch these little reptiles, and force Potter out!" Lestrange screamed frantically, and Harry couldn't hide any longer, and he rushed out from behind the travel clock

"Faint!" He shouted, a surprise magic striking a Death Eater, but the other Death Eaters didn't care, staring at Harry's eyes with a green fire, and Lestrange exclaimed excitedly:

"Yes, Potter! You're finally willing to come out——! ”

"We need to get out of here!" Harry raised another stun spell in his hand, but it didn't hit, and the Death Eater's curse came like a rainstorm, and he flashed behind a bookshelf, gasping and saying:

"Ginny, can you help Luna?"

"Of course." Ginny replied, doing everything in her power to help Luna hold up her swollen arm and step back.

"Ah, thank you—I would have been able to move if it hadn't been so swollen—" Luna said gratefully, pinning her wand behind her ear to keep it from falling.

"Let's go!" Harry didn't have time to catch up with Qiu Zhang, but just urged her to leave with Ginny, "I'll stay behind!" ”

Another stun spell shot across the room, and Akihari fought back with the same magic.

"I'm not hurt, thank you for your kindness, Harry, but Ravenclaw people are no more timid than Gryffindor." Qiu Zhang said stubbornly.

Harry helped Neville, who looked to be badly injured, and Qiu Zhang stepped forward to take the shoulder of his other half, and the two of them hugged him, and retreated back to the room where his brain was floating again.

"Hurry up and be imprisoned!" Harry shouted to lock the black door, and he heard the sound of three Death Eaters slamming their bodies against the door.

Never mind! A man's voice said, "There is another way in—we found them, and here they are!" ”

Harry turned to see that there were indeed many doors around him, and he could hear footsteps in the hall behind him, and more Death Eaters were running to meet the original three.

"Ginny, Qiu Zhang is here to help me!" The three of them split up and ran around the room, sealing the door as they went, and Harry scurried to the other door and slammed into a table, rolling over from the table.

"Quick Confinement"

There were many sounds of running behind the doors, and from time to time someone slammed their bodies against the door, squeaking and trembling, and Ginny and Chozhang were casting spells on the door along the opposite wall, and then when Harry came to the other end of the room, he heard Ginny shout:

"Hurry—ahhh......h

As soon as he turned, he saw Ginny being tossed up, and five Death Eaters broke into the room through the door that Ginny had not had time to seal, and Ginny slammed into a table and slid down the table to the floor on the other side, where she lay flat on all fours, motionless.

"Catch/zhu potter!" Bellatrix screamed and ran towards Harry, who dodged her, not daring to use magic on Harry for fear of breaking the Prophecy Orb.

"Run—" Harry saw Luna staggering to her feet, holding the wand pinned behind her ear in her palm

"Luna, get out of the way, get down!"

But Luna had already aimed her wand at the Death Eaters.

But the Death Eater was faster than her, and a red light shot from the Death Eater's wand and hit Luna right in the face, and she fell to the side, lying unconscious.

"Let's go!" Harry yelled at Neville and Choharaki, but Neville did, his own wand broken, and he picked up Luna's wand and yelled at the Death Eaters

"Faint! Faint! ”

But nothing worked, and a Death Eater fired a stun spell at Neville, missing a few inches and missing, leaving Harry, Neville, and Akihari to fight against the five Death Eaters.

The two Death Eaters fired several arrow-like silver lights that didn't hit them, but left a few pits in the wall behind them, and Harry sped away, Bellatrix in hot pursuit, holding the prophecy ball above his head, thinking that this should lead the Death Eaters away.

It worked, and several Death Eaters chased after him, knocking over an unknown number of tables and chairs along the way, but he didn't dare to cast a spell on him for fear of damaging the Prophecy Ball, Harry ran around the door where the Death Eaters had broken in, only it was open, and he rushed in one go, running a few steps around the new room, and suddenly felt the floor disappear.

He fell down the steep stone steps, bounced up on each stone platform, fell to the next, and rolled down to the big pit in the very center, and turned over until he was panting, and felt that the bones in his body were about to fall apart, and he could hardly breathe.

The room echoed with the laughter of the Death Eaters.

Harry looked up to see that the five Death Eaters who had been chasing him in the hall were walking towards the stone platform, and more Death Eaters had emerged from the other doors and began to kick at him. His legs were shaking so badly that he could barely support himself to stand up, but he stood up anyway, the prophecy ball still intact in his hand, his right hand clutching his wand.

He looked around, but luckily Neville and Akihari didn't chase after him, but he was surrounded.

"Hand it over, Potter." Bellatrix screamed and jumped off the stone platform.

Harry had no way to retreat, his leg touched something hard behind him, and he had retreated to the platform where the arch was erected, and he climbed onto it.

The Death Eaters all stopped, staring at him, a few of them gasping like him, another Death Eater was bleeding profusely, and another Death Eater took off his mask, and the long, twisted, pale face Harry had seen on the Daily Prophet's wanted list, his name was Antonin Dolohov, who had killed the Puwit brothers, who were Mrs. Weasley's brother.

"You're finished, Potter." Bellatrix pointed her wand at Harry's face and exclaimed in a baby-like false voice, "What did I say?" Don't ever go against the Dark Lord, you're no match at all - Potter, now - give me the Prophecy Ball. ”

"Let's—let them go, and I'll give it to you!" Harry said in despair.

"You don't have the qualifications to bargain, little ghost, just you?" Dolokhov twisted his connection with a cruel grin. "Look at how many we have, didn't Dumbledore teach you to count......"

"He's not alone!" A voice shouted behind them, "We're still here!" ”

Harry's heart sank, and Neville and Chohari burst out of the door, wand in hand, but Neville was clearly holding Luna's one.

"Don't—Cho, Neville, you go back!" Harry shouted.

"Faint!" Two spells rang out, but only a flash of red light came through, and the Death Eaters burst into laughter, and then the curse was overwhelmingly shot at the two of them.

"Faint!" Harry felt someone stand up behind him, and a red light struck a burly Death Eater, sending him flying far away.

"Okay, there are still small trash fish that have slipped through the net!" Bellatrix exclaimed, and Harry saw a purple flame of gas on the tip of Dolohov's wand pass through Hermione's chest.

She fell to the ground, motionless.
