MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 22 night attack

  Chapter 22 22. Night Raid

".Jupiter is our main study object this semester. In addition to studying the planet itself, we will also learn about its satellites. At that time, I will ask each of you to draw a star chart of Jupiter, so in class During this period, I hope that none of you will give me half-heartedness."

  When Flitwick was explaining the learning goals for this semester to them and reminding them to concentrate, Jon's mind was already out of class.

  He was still thinking about the ring that inexplicably appeared on him in Slughorn's office at noon.

  The ring is still on his body, or Jon can't get rid of it at all, as long as it is more than three meters away from him, it will automatically appear on the index finger of his right hand.

Jon didn’t wear the ring on his finger, let’s not say whether the ring is dangerous or not, it’s just an 11-year-old boy wearing a ring on his index finger for courtship (a ring on the index finger means he is single and willing to associate with the opposite sex) , which is weird in itself.

Although Slughorn assured him that there was no danger, this did not reassure Jon completely. Judging from the performance of the fat old man in the original book, he is indeed a very principled person. Just let Jon give him a day.

  If by tomorrow, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor did not give an answer he could accept, then Jon would not hesitate, and he would go directly to Dumbledore with the ring.

   Maybe Dumbledore will count him, but he will definitely not push him into the fire pit.

The carriage had already left the small town and came to a quiet country road. Jon collected his thoughts, and just as he was about to concentrate on the class, he suddenly noticed the bright starry sky from the corner of his eye. A few dark shadows passed by quietly.

  He didn't pay much attention to it at first, he just thought it was a few owls preying at night, but soon he realized it again.

   There is no way an owl could be this big!

  Jon clearly realized something was wrong, he stood up and interrupted Flitwick's class in a hurry.

   "Professor! Look at the sky!"

Everyone on the roof followed his words and raised their heads to look at the sky. Under the clear night sky, they could clearly see more than a dozen figures in black robes riding on the brooms, always staying in the carriage. fly above!

  Compared to the bewildered faces of the students at the beginning, Flitwick's face is now frighteningly pale!

   "Go back! Get back in the car! Quick!"

   While yelling at Jon and the others, he raised his wand with his only remaining left hand without hesitation!

   "The alarm bells are ringing!"

   There was an extremely ear-piercing scream like the legendary harpies.

  Jon was the first to react from Flitwick's words. He directly grabbed the arms of Ron and Justin who were still in a daze with their mouths open, dragged them and ran towards the entrance of the stairs!

   Neville was only a second slower than Jon in reacting, and followed behind him, grabbing Lavender's arm.

  The people in black robes riding broomsticks in the sky also noticed what was going on under the carriage. Instead of keeping track horizontally, they lowered the handles of their brooms together and swooped down towards the carriage!

  Flitwick did not return to the carriage with Jon and the others. After warning, he used a Flying Curse without the slightest hesitation.

   "Here comes the broom!"

   There was a sound of breaking through the air at the rear of the carriage, and then a somewhat broken broomstick hovered in front of him.

  Flitwick rode on the broom. Because he was missing one arm and had to hold his wand tightly with the other hand, he could only press his entire front body on the broom handle, and at the same time borrowed magic to help him sit on the broom.

   The broken broom took the one-armed wizard duel champion into the sky.

   "Protect thestrals! Hagrid!"

  Already awakened by the alarm bell, Hagrid pulled out a slightly longer than normal wand from the little red umbrella, and loudly reminded Flitwick while steadying the frightened Thestrals.

"be careful!"

  Jon and the five of them returned to the carriage in a panic, the long corridor was already brightly lit.

  The door of each dormitory was opened, many students poked their heads out and didn't know what happened, but there were also experienced students in grades 6 and 7 who ran out in a hurry in their pajamas.

   "All students, gather in the restaurant! It's all students!"

  The student chairperson of the seventh grade was shouting and began to gather the students to the restaurant, including Jon and his five who just got off the roof of the car.

  The professors in the car gathered in front of the foyer as early as the first time Flitwick issued the warning, and everyone except Dumbledore was holding a broomstick in their hands.

   "Are Kingsley and the others in the square tonight?" Dumbledore asked in a deep voice.

   "No, they are in Finland recently, dealing with the things you explained to them before. There are only Molly and Tonks on the square."

   It was Lily who answered him. Her face was calm, but her slightly trembling hand holding the wand revealed her true emotions.

  It's not fear and fear, it's more like an unforgettable hatred and can't wait.

   Mag's face was gloomy.

   "Why, they can find."

   "This is not the time to say that, Minerva."

   Dumbledore interrupted McGonagall, he drew out his wand, and led the way out of the carriage.

   "Horace stayed in the carriage to watch the students, Hagrid protected the Thestrals, and I'll take you to help Felius."

  He completed all the deployment with just a simple sentence, and the three people who heard the order carried it out without hesitation.

  Slughorn ran towards the dining room where the students were, while McGonagall and Lily both rode on broomsticks at the same time and rushed out of the hall!

  Hagrid at the driver's seat of the carriage was holding the reins tightly!

   "John! Randy! Alter! Don't mess up! Learn from Smith! Calm down! Speed ​​up and run! Run!"

Under Hagrid's reassurance, the Thestrals gradually recovered from the shock at the beginning. They began to move their hooves at a faster frequency, and the wide bat-like wings that were originally folded on their backs began to slow down. Unfold slowly!

  The speed of the carriage increased countless times in an instant, galloping forward rapidly in this dark field!

  In the carriage, after the student president and the two male and female prefects counted the number of people for the third time, Slughorn opened the door and walked in.

  Most of the faces of the students were full of panic and uneasiness. They looked at the only professor in the carriage now, and Slughorn just said a word of comfort, and the panic on almost everyone's faces dissipated.

   "Don't worry, Dumbledore has passed."
