416. A surprise attack that takes place in a foreign country

Scott stood still, reached out and grabbed the wand hidden in his pocket, then turned to look directly at the two wizards who were hiding in the crowd and approaching.

It was two men who looked ordinary, dressed ordinarily, and even had ordinary hairstyles and chin residues, and were inconspicuous in the crowd.

"What's wrong, Scott?"

At this time, Professor Flitwick also noticed Scott's strange appearance and turned around.

"Avada suo!"

However, the moment Professor Flitwick turned around, two dazzling green rays of light shot straight towards where Scott was.

It was a lethal attack, and it was so abrupt that Scott didn't even react at all.

But the moment the two attacked, Scott clearly sensed the magical nature of the two people's changes.

It's the Carlo siblings!

At this moment, Scott had no time to think about why the two siblings had come here in disguise, why they were able to hide their magical nature, and why they had used magic to sneak up on them in front of a large group of Muggles.

He had to save his life under such a deadly attack.

"Scott!"

The green glow came to him instantly, and he heard the anxious shouts of Professor Flitwick and Roger.

In this case, Scott didn't even have time to pull the hand holding the wand out of his trouser pocket.

At this point, he had only one option, and that was to activate the portkey.

Scott didn't hesitate, activating the portkey on his left hand before being touched by the green light.

The world is spinning.

As if walking through a tunnel made entirely of magical colors, Scott landed again and appeared in the forest.

"Rimbaud!"

He shouted.

"Gah!"

"Quack...... Ga ......"

In the oak trees all around, the ugly chirping of crows came and went.

The sound of wings flapping sounded intensively, and countless crows flew up from the trees, enveloping the entire forest like a dark cloud.

"Scott!"

Rimbaud flew down from the largest oak tree.

"Grow faster!"

Scott raised his wand to make its body bigger.

Rimbaud didn't say much, but landed on the ground in cooperation.

"Quick! Go to Hogwarts! ”

Scott climbed onto Rimbaud's back and commanded eagerly.

"I see!"

Rimbaud spread his wings and flew as fast as he could, heading out of the forest in the direction of Hogwarts.

Because of the speed, the oncoming wind prevented Scott from opening his eyes.

He simply closed his eyes and buried his head in Rimbaud's neck.

"Gah!"

It didn't take long for Scott to feel the wind waning and he opened his eyes.

At this time, Rimbaud had already crossed directly into the forest, and came to the area outside the Forbidden Forest, where Hogwarts was located.

"Wang ...... Barking! ”

The barking of the dog came, and Scott followed the voice.

Hagrid, holding his teeth, strode toward him.

"Who are you? This is Hogwarts! ”

"It's me, Scott Trollope, Professor Hagrid."

Scott patted Rimbaud and let it hit the ground.

"Is that you? Oh...... Scott? Hagrid's eyes widened at Scott, "It's summer vacation, why are you here?" ”

"Sorry, I didn't have time to explain." Scott jumped off Rimbaud's back, "Is Professor Dumbledore at school now?" ”

Hagrid scratched his hair, "Dumbledore? I do not know. Do you have anything to do with him? ”

Scott said anxiously, "We were attacked by Death Eaters abroad, and I escaped with my portkey, but Professor Flitwick and two of my classmates were still there!" ”

"Oh! Professor Flitwick? ”

Hagrid's eyes widened again.

"Let's go! Let's go find Dumbledore! ”

He stretched out his big hand, grabbed Scott's arm without saying a word, carried him like a chicken, and ran briskly in the direction of the castle.

"Yaya, don't follow!"

"I ......"

Scott tried to say he could go, but the wind got into his mouth.

It was the first time he had felt the speed of Hagrid's half-giant.

It has to be said that although his movements look a little bulky and his steps sound a little heavy, his speed has exceeded the limit of human running speed.

Scott obediently closed his mouth and waved his other hand in the direction of Rimbaud.

"Meow!"

Entering the castle, you are greeted by the screams of Lady Loris.

"Hagrid! You're ......."

Filch's roar had barely begun when he was left behind the two men.

Boom! Boom! Boom......

Heavy footsteps rang out one after another, and Hagrid ran to the third floor in one breath, standing in front of the stone statue at the entrance to the headmaster's office.

"Oh......"

He put down Scott and said with some chagrin, "Sorry, I didn't know about the secret order. ”

“……”

Scott didn't even know what to say.

Fortunately, because the movement of his running all the way was so great that Dumbledore was already aware of their arrival, and the entrance in front of the two of them opened automatically.

Entering through the removed stone wall, instead of letting the moving staircase take him up to the eighth floor as usual, Scott took steps and ran upwards at the same time.

He reached the eighth floor in the shortest possible time, and the wooden door of the principal's office was already open.

"Professor Dumbledore!" Scott ran into the office and didn't even have time to catch his breath, "The Caro siblings snuck up on me, and I escaped with the portkey, but Professor Flitwick and Roger and Milton were still there!" ”

Dumbledore, who was sitting behind his desk, had a serious expression when he heard this, "Was Filius attacked when you left?" ”

Scott shook his head, "Those two guys came for me, they hid in the crowd and cast a death curse on me. ”

"Oh......"

Hagrid, who walked into the office right after Scott, let out an exclamation.

"Dead ...... Dead ......"

He seemed to be frightened by what Scott said.

"Thanks to Merlin, you can escape from the sneak attack of the Death Curse!"

"But I ran away." Scott was upset, "I'm worried about Professor Flitwick about them. ”

"Oh, no one will blame you, in that case." Hagrid kindly comforted him.

But Scott was still a little sad.

"I was too careless......"

I didn't pay attention to the abnormality and didn't take full guard, and subconsciously thought that the other party didn't dare to mess around in front of the public, and it was too late to react when the attack appeared.

"Yes, no one will blame you, Scott."

Dumbledore spoke.

"You said it, Filius is in good shape, you should believe in his strength."

Scott, of course, believed in Professor Flitwick's strength.

If the attackers were only two of them, the Caro siblings, he wouldn't have to worry about it at all.

"But I'm afraid there are other enemies hiding around there." He said to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore stood up.

"Let's go, it looks like I'm going to go abroad too."

He walked straight to the fireplace and grabbed a handful of Floo powder.

"I'll take Scott to see it, Hagrid, and please explain the situation to Minerva."

"Yes, Professor Dumbledore."

"Ministry of Magic."

The green flames burst into flames, and Dumbledore's figure vanished instantly.

Scott hurriedly followed.

Passing through the fireplace, Scott saw the Ministry of Magic atrium.

It was already night, and the wide atrium was particularly empty.

All Scott could see was Dumbledore waiting outside the fireplace and another member of the staff on duty.

"We have to go to Austria."

Dumbledore said to the young staff member.

The young wizard grimaced, "This ...... Professor Dumbledore, I can't decide. ”

"Is anyone from the International Magical Cooperation Division on duty?" Dumbledore asked.

The young wizard shook his head, "No, please come back tomorrow." ”

"It's okay." Dumbledore said, "Then there must be someone on duty in the Auror office, help me inform them." ”

"Okay, wait a minute." The young wizard agreed.

He turned and ran to the duty desk to write a note, then waved his wand.

The note turned into a paper airplane and staggered away.

It didn't take long for there to be movement from the elevator.

Da, da, da......

The sound of sticks touching the ground rang out.

A wizard on crutches limped over.

"Oh, it's the Mad-Eye."

Scott heard the young wizard muttering softly, and immediately understood the identity of the person who had come.

"Albus, why are you here? What happened? Moody, known as the "Mad-Eyed Man," asked aloud.

He got closer, and Scott saw his appearance.

He had thick dark gray hair, his face was scarred, and a large part of his nose was gone, which was terrifying.

Even more bizarre were his eyes.

He had a small, normal black eye, and a round, turning, bright blue eye.

"The Death Eaters attacked Filius and the students abroad, and we need to make a trip to Austria, Alatos." Dumbledore said.

"Damn it, those rampant criminals!" Moody scolded bitterly.

Immediately, he glanced at Scott.

"You're going to take this student with you?" He asked Dumbledore.

"Oh, this kid is Scott, and he's the party, and he's escaped from the scene."

Dumbledore patted Scott on the shoulder.

"Scott, this is Alastor Moody, the best Auror in the Ministry of Magic."

Moody stared at Scott with his terrifying magic eye.

"What's going on, boy, tell me the truth!"

His tone of inquiry was stern.

Scott could only repeat what he had said in front of Dumbledore quickly.

As Moody listened, the MONOCULUS began to spin flexibly again.

He turned, crutches and walked towards the nearby fireplace.

"Let's go, if this happens, we need to deal with that group of foreign wizards."

"Mr. Moody!" The young wizard on duty stopped him, "The International Floo Network requires an appointment application to use it. ”

"Go away, boy."

Moody lifted his crutches and whipped them at the young wizard's body.

"I'm an Auror, and I don't have to follow so many rules when dealing with emergencies!"

The young wizard staggered and sat down on the ground.

Moody had already crossed his side.

"Do you know what an emergency is? You don't understand, your entanglement will only delay my business. It has to be said that young people nowadays have no vigilance. ”

Moody cursed as he walked over to a fireplace and glanced up.

"This is it."

He reached out and grabbed a handful of Floo powder.

Dumbledore and Scott followed.

"Mr. Moody! Professor Dumbledore! ”

The young wizard hurriedly got up and shouted anxiously.

"Okay, I'm responsible for this." Moody said impatiently.

Boom!

"Austrian Ministry of Magic!"

The green flame ignited.

When Scott followed Dumbledore and Moody out of the fireplace of the Austrian Ministry of Magic, there was also an empty hall, and the young witch on duty was watching them dumbfounded.

"I'm an Auror from the British Ministry of Magic!" Moody said to the two, "If your side is working normally, I think you already know that there was an attack in Vienna involving British wizards. ”

Smoody and Scott's identities, and then told the purpose of their trip.

"Please come with me, the person you are looking for is here right now."

Hearing him say this, Scott quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Strauss turned and walked towards the stone staircase, grumbling as he went.

"I have to say that this incident caused a lot of trouble, a total of more than a hundred Muggles witnessed a dangerous battle between wizards, and our personnel are still busy working overtime, busy erasing the memories of those Muggles."

"Sorry......"

Dumbledore hurriedly apologized and said something that sounded official.

However, his tone was gentle, with a little humor, in short, it made the other party's face look a lot better.

Scott followed them up the stone steps, through a wide hallway lined with large glass windows, and later met Professor Flitwick and his two roommates in the Auror office.

"Professor Flitwick, Roger, Milton."

Seeing them sitting there intact, the stone in Scott's heart finally landed.

"Scott!"

Professor Flitwick and the others stood up happily when they saw Scott.

"Thank goodness you're okay!"

Professor Flitwick also looked greatly relieved.
