MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 357 355. Attacking Hermione

  Chapter 357 355. Attacking Hermione

  Hungarian Tree Peak Dragon, Heshidia Black Dragon and Ukrainian Iron Belly, these are fire dragons with extremely strong physical strength.

  Just as the professors on the observatory were using magic to defend those iron bellies, a Hungarian tree peak dragon and two Heshidia black dragons slammed into the edge of the tower!

  The castle shook violently!

  This is the highest point of the entire school, which is equivalent to a slender individual extending from the main body of the castle, so the defense is not that strong.

  The shaky ground made most of the professors who maintained the universal spell-breaking method unable to stand still. Two or three fell to the ground on the spot, and a few staggered a few steps. Naturally, the spellcasting in their hands could not continue.

   It was just such a gap they exposed, and the fanatical dragon's breath finally broke through the blue barrier!

  Golden-red flames swept across the entire Astronomy Tower in an instant, and the scorching high temperature made the professors who were hit by such an impact for the first time couldn't help screaming.

  Alecto's robe was ignited, and she screamed like a rolling ball, trying to escape the astronomical tower in the flames.

  However, before she had just run to the door, a bright red spell hit her!

   "Cruciatus!"

   The scene in the Astronomy Tower, which was flustered for a while, immediately became quiet because of this spell. Every professor present looked in disbelief at Little Barty who was holding up his wand and casting spells on his colleagues.

  Jr. Barty's expression was hideous and stern like never before.

  Alecto screamed crazily under his torture, but he stepped on her fat face mercilessly, and then raised his head to look at everyone present.

"I warn you, don't forget your identities! You are the master's servants, so you should risk everything to guard his property! This castle is the most precious thing of the master. If it is destroyed by these beasts, Then he doesn’t need to do anything, I will kill them all first! Then I will commit suicide to apologize to him! Even if this castle is going to be destroyed, we must die before the castle collapses!!”

   Little Barty roared like a madman.

  Everyone present knew that he was not joking. This wizard's worship of Voldemort had reached a pathological level. Otherwise, how could a normal person kill his own parents for an outsider?

And as a confidant in his confidant, Barty Jr. knows the importance of this Hogwarts castle to Voldemort better than anyone else. His words are not threatening. If it really reaches that level, he will definitely Do what you say, let everyone in the castle die before this school collapses!

His ruthlessness stunned all the people present. Looking at Alecto who was still moaning on the ground, everyone temporarily gave up the idea of ​​escaping from the observatory, even the professor whose body had been ignited by the dragon breath They also hurriedly extinguished the flames on their bodies first, then turned around and pointed the wands in their hands at the fire dragons in the sky who were charging for the next wave of attack.

  In the castle, the entire Hogwarts has become a mess.

  Pure-blooded students are fine, they have dedicated lounge managers, and even three house elves serve them exclusively.

  So when the fire dragon attacked the castle, these pure-blood students were quickly led to a safe auditorium. Unless the entire castle collapsed, they would not be in any danger.

  The mixed-race students were not so lucky. Their dean Greenglass was still on the Astronomy Tower at this time, and there were no administrators to take care of their safety.

  These people could only scurry around the castle like headless chickens, and finally returned to the lounge under the leadership of the prefects in panic and fear.

But it's not safe here. The mixed-race student's lounge is a separate tower. It is very likely that some fire dragons attacked here. These guys are looking around to break through the fortress in order to enter the castle. A passage for them to enter and exit.

Only the auditorium is the safest, because if anything bad happens, the students here can escape from the castle in the shortest time, and if that happens, the half-blood hiding in the lounge There is only one dead end for students.

   As for the "Mudbloods" who were locked in the basement as soon as dinner was over, no one cared. But their current situation is actually very safe, and no dragon can dig a tunnel out of them and break into the castle from them.

  Besides the students, the professors in the castle were also in great confusion.

Amycus obeyed Barty Jr.'s order, and continued to summon the remaining professors to fight back against the fire dragons attacking the castle. At the same time, he also ordered the head of the Auror stationed in the school to go to the Astronomy Tower immediately. Go for reinforcements.

  The attacks of these dragons are not concentrated, and Batty Jr. and the others are under the greatest pressure in front of the Astronomy Tower.

   But even if they organize all the forces in the castle, the professors and the Aurors who stay here are only about 30 people in total. When facing these fire dragons, there is no way for two people to deal with one!

Fire dragons have never been an easy target to deal with. Even the most professional dragon trainer or American dragon slayer requires the cooperation of at least five people to defeat them one by one. They train.

   At this time, let's not talk about whether these people in Hogwarts Castle have professional knowledge related to dealing with dragons. In terms of numbers alone, they are naturally at a disadvantage.

  So this battle to guard Hogwarts Castle was very difficult for them.

   At the same moment when the fire dragon launched its attack on the castle, on the fourth floor of the castle, in a secret passage, Hermione was carefully observing every move of everyone in the school with a Marauder's Map.

  She saw that most of the professors and Auror guards had gone to the Astronomy Tower. The names of those professors were crowded on the tower, and their positions were constantly changing. It seemed that the scene was very chaotic.

  The students have all hid in suitable places, and now the Hogwarts castle is more empty than at any other time!

Hermione didn't know exactly what happened, but the roar of the dragon coming from outside from time to time, and the already shaking castle, made her guess almost instantly that there must be some accident in the game in the Forbidden Forest, and such an accident There is a great possibility that it has something to do with Jon.

   This is not because she knows something, but because she has absolute confidence and trust in Jon.

   What's the situation outside, Hermione doesn't know who is in favor of the situation, but what she knows is simply the best opportunity for her to take action in the castle!

  At this time, no one will notice what will happen in the castle, because the professors are not enough manpower, and there is no way to send another person to patrol the castle.

  And the movements made by the fire dragon were so loud that they could completely cover up some preparations that Hermione would have to do next, so that Hermione, who had been waiting in this secret passage for a long time, finally had a chance to get out.

   "Fox, don't sleep, we are going to go out."

  The little girl whispered to the Phoenix on her shoulder.

  Fox also opened those pale golden eyes at this time, and opened his sharp beak, as if yawning.

  After confirming that everything outside was safe, Hermione didn't hesitate or hesitate at all. She straightened a small satchel on her body, held a wand in one hand, and a Marauder's Map in the other, and walked out of the secret passage wearing an invisibility cloak.

   There was no one in the corridor, but it didn't seem quiet. The surrounding walls and ground trembled from time to time, and the roar of the dragon outside shook people's eardrums.

   Hermione's steps were fast.

  She didn't know how long it would take those professors and Aurors to deal with these fire dragons, so she could only plan for the worst and set aside twenty minutes for herself.

  She must quickly eliminate all wrong options within these twenty minutes. Even if there is still no gain today, she must verify all the objects that Mr. Slytherin and Professor Dumbledore suspected at the beginning.

  Following the stairs, she didn't lower her steps, and ran downstairs quickly to the first floor.

After walking down the stairs, her hands and feet began to relax, because the pure-blood students were gathered in the auditorium, where there was also an administrator and many house elves guarding there, Hermione had to be careful what they found There was movement.

   But walking to the left along the corridor, she saw that she was getting farther and farther away from the auditorium, and after making sure that there was no one else around, she let go of her steps again, and even started to trot all the way.

  The shoes she was wearing were specially cast by Dumbledore for her, which could greatly eliminate the sound of the soles touching the ground, and no one would be able to notice it unless they were standing very close to her.

  Fox stood firmly on her shoulders, and even spread his wings slightly, helping her prop up the invisibility cloak she was wearing, preventing the water-like clothes from accidentally slipping off her body.

   Soon, Hermione came to the area that Slytherin gave her, and the girl's bathroom where she found the faucet engraved with a snake-shaped mark last time was also in this area.

   It's just that this time Hermione didn't choose to go directly into this bathroom, but wandered along the corridors in this area, while making a slightly hoarse and unpleasant hissing sound from her mouth.

  Her voice was not small, but it was all covered by the movement outside the castle, and there were no other people around, so no one could hear that there was a little girl imitating the cry of a snake.

  Three or four minutes into this attempt, nothing out of the ordinary happened in response to Hermione.

  Hermione was not disappointed, she left here decisively, ran back to the direction of the stairs, and climbed up to the upper floor until she came to the corridor on the seventh floor.

   This place is undoubtedly even more empty, not to mention this floor, even if there is no one on the third floor nearby.

  Hermione wore an invisibility cloak, and quickly crossed the forbidden zone that was an absolute limit for others in the castle, and finally stood in front of an office.

This place is no stranger to her. More than a year ago, it was here that she personally caught Jon who had just finished dealing with the basilisk, and it was here that she really got to know the man who claimed to be "Professor under Dumbledore" boy.

   Now he is indeed a professor, but Durmstrang's.

  Revisiting the old place didn't make Hermione think too much. She knew exactly how important the tasks she had on her body were.

   Came to the door of the principal's office, Hermione wanted to push the door open and walk in.

  Although Jon was allowed to break through here once, and took away from it what represented the foundation of this school, Voldemort will definitely strengthen its defensive measures in the future.

  She just touched Fox's smooth feathers, and then the entire body of the phoenix turned into a golden light.

  The light lasted for a long time, and Fox did not disappear directly like the previous Apparation. The castle was deliberately enhanced with anti-apparition magic, making it impossible for Fox to successfully apparate directly.

  But just two or three minutes later, the golden-red light disappeared on Hermione's shoulders, and then Hermione stood in front of the door of the principal's office, making that "hissing" sound again.

  There seemed to be a movement in the principal's room, but the movement disappeared soon.

  Hermione didn't show any impatience, she just waited quietly.

   This kind of waiting didn't last long, and soon the golden light of Fox lit up around her again.

  After Fox came back, he was obviously a little more embarrassed than before he went in. The feathers on his body were a bit messy, but his pale golden eyes were still bright.

  After returning, it shook its head at Hermione, which made Hermione a little discouraged.

   This was the last place they could guess, and they still found nothing. Although Professor Dumbledore certainly wouldn't blame her, Hermione herself felt a sense of frustration.

  However, just as she was about to turn around and leave here, and return to the secret passage, a thing that Jon once said to her on Hogwarts when chatting with her suddenly flashed through her mind.

  She suddenly became a little excited, but quickly took a deep breath to calm down, and then walked straight towards the eighth floor without any hesitation, and found the place according to the impression in her memory.

  There is a tapestry here, and the tapestry is painted with a funny picture of a troll holding a wooden club and beating a ballet teacher.

   On the opposite side of this tapestry, there is a blank wall.

  Hermione took a deep breath, she stood in front of the wall as Jon once said he did, and kept thinking while walking back and forth.

   "I want a room leading to the Slytherin Chamber!"

   My, my, originally said to finish writing in the morning, but the lazy cancer broke out, and I will add more tomorrow as compensation
