Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Death Eaters' Ambush
Above the sky,
A giant Norwegian crest-backed dragon, flapping its wings, glides slowly among the large clouds.
Shirley sat cross-legged on Noble's crest, and on her lap was a black leather case on which stood a strange creature that was half lizard, half dwarf.
It leaned into Shirley's ear and whispered, flattering and expectant as it spoke.
The ponytailed girl bowed her head slightly, and quickly took out a small bottle from the box.
The magical creature immediately grabbed the bottle with its large red claws like a chain hook, and excitedly sucked the scarlet liquid inside the bottle.
Margaery lay not far away, her hands folded behind her head, quietly gazing at the bright moonlight.
Hermione sat on the slender neck of the dragon, holding a panoramic telescope in her hand, looking down.
It was a telescope she had bought to watch the game, but she obviously didn't need it tonight, so she had to use it to see the scene in the stadium.
Each of the three girls had their own things to do, but Professor Trelawney sat there with a pale face, his face wrinkled together, and he wanted to speak but did not dare to speak.
Trelawney has a fear of heights and is now sitting at a kilometer altitude without a protective fence, her legs and stomach trembling.
She was really afraid that the fire dragon would suddenly turn over, and then fall straight down and become a mess of flesh!
I knew that I wouldn't run away with these people, but would have squeezed the stairs with other audiences...... Well, that could also be trampled into pate.
Trelawney could only pray secretly:
"Great-great-grandmother, you must bless me in the spirit of heaven, and when I return alive, I will burn you a few illustrated copies of "Merlin and King Arthur's History of Lust."
Seeing that Professor Trelawney's whole body was trembling, Shirley raised her head and comforted her softly:
"Professor Trelawney, it's safe here, don't worry."
"I...... I...... Don't worry, I've been divining for a long time...... I'll live to be 200 years old, and I'll be fine tonight."
Trelawney also tried to speak in her usual ethereal voice, but her voice trembled due to fear, destroying the mysterious effect of that sound.
Hermione, who was not far away, snorted softly in disdain when she heard Trelawney's words.
"Then you must have succumbed to tonight's calamity, haven't you, Professor Trelawney?"
Professor Trelawney looked at Hermione as if she were looking at the annoying McGonagall.
"Of course I did! Miss Granger, but I don't want to show off my omniscience.
I often behave as if I don't have the eyes so that others don't get nervous."
"Then why don't you remind everyone?" Hermione said, "Still watching the catastrophe happen?"
Trelawney was speechless for a while, she had to pretend not to hear, turned her head to look at Shirley, who made her quite fond of her, and said:
"Miss Swinton, I have just observed you, and I have found that you have a strong 'vision', which means that you possess all the qualities required of the noble art of divination...... It's not the same as some noble, vulgar person!
Why don't you take my class?"
Hermione puffed out her mouth in exasperation, and she was about to fight back, but she saw something through the binoculars, and shouted, "The Dark Mark is gone!"
Everyone looked down and looked in the direction of the gymnasium, and the terrifying green skull was really gone.
"Can we go back?" Trelawney asked again in a trembling voice.
"No." Shirley shook her head and said, "Rove told us to wait for him here, and when the stadium is safe, he will come and pick us up."
[In view of the general environment,
"But it's a fire dragon!" Trelawney gasped for breath, and when she saw that the three little girls were all calm, she sighed heavily.
The current students are really amazing, and they have all started to keep fire dragons as pets!
The group waited a little longer, and Noble suddenly roared, and the sound was deafening
Deaf.
Trelawney was scared, "What's the matter, this dragon can't be hungry, right?"
Shirley stood up and smiled, "It's Rove here."
Not long after the words fell, a figure suddenly flew over and landed firmly on Noble's back.
Seeing that Rove was covered in blood, Shirley hurriedly walked over, gently tugged at his sleeve, and said with concern, "Hurt?"
"It's not my blood, it's the blood of the harpy, she's killed a lot of wizards, and I can only kill her," Rove wrote lightly.
"It's strange, the last time we went, the harpy's temper wasn't that bad, was it?" Shirley puzzled.
"It means that another wizard drugged it, and secretly dropped it and Meiwa." Rove shrugged.
"Death Eaters?" Hermione exclaimed.
"It should be them."
Rove nodded, and when he saw Shirley holding the half-lizard, half-dwarf animal, he frowned and said, "Why did the sheep-eating beast come out?
"Didn't you feed it the blood of your killer before?" Shirley said, "It just sensed the man."
Rove narrowed his eyes, "She's nearby?"
"Yes." Shirley nodded and said, "Do you want to chase it?"
Rove was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Chase!"

……
Escorted by Sirius, Lupin, and Arthur, the group finally broke out of the gymnasium and walked down a trail towards the camp.
Harry looked back at the gymnasium in horror and suddenly shouted, "That skull is gone."
Everyone stopped and turned to look at the gymnasium.
"Can anyone explain what that skeleton is?" Ron said impatiently, "It didn't hurt anyone...... Why are you all so scared?"
"That's the symbol of the mystery man, Ron!" "I haven't seen it in thirteen years, so people are nervous...... It's like seeing a mysterious man again."
"I don't understand," Ron said, frowning, "I mean...... At the end of the day, it's just a shadow in mid-air......
"Ron, every time the Mysteries and Death Eaters kill someone, they release the Dark Mark in the air." Lupin sighed:
"The fear it brings...... You don't know, you're too young. Imagine that you come home and find the Dark Mark hovering over your house, and you know what you're going to see when you go in......
Mr. Wesley shuddered, "This is what everyone fears the most...... ...... is the most feared."
"But what does the Death Eaters want to do, release the Dark Mark in the Quidditch World Cup final, what's the point?" Harry wondered.
"Meaning?" Mr. Wesley chuckled dryly and said, "Harry, maybe it's for fun; Maybe it's to remind us that they still have a lot of people out there......
"Maybe...... It's to kill you!"
A voice rang out in the forest not far away, and immediately after, a bright green light flashed, illuminating everything around it.
"Avada such!"
