The invisibility cloak passed down from the Potter family has many countless benefits (already tested): it is completely invisible, does not cause visual distortion, cannot be detected by magic or infrared rays, and is permanent. It is different from those products outside - it seems It's also waterproof and insulated.
Of course, there are also disadvantages - its sound insulation effect is not good, and if Harry grows taller, it will easily show flaws, and the excessively long part will easily get in the way.
But this does not hinder its quality - it is almost the best invisibility cloak in the world. After seeing it, Salazar thought that if it breaks down, maybe in a thousand years, how many gold galleons will it cost? I can't find or buy one of such good quality.
Wearing this family heirloom, with its magical material that could be seen through the inside, he slipped out quietly through a side door of the big house.
"If you try harder," Salazar said sternly, "you can cast the Ignore Spell completely."
Harry felt ashamed - what is this called? You always have to pay back what you owe. He usually doesn't specialize in such spells. He can fool around occasionally, but here? No, it's absolutely not safe.
"I will definitely practice." Harry promised the portrait, "Before I put you back in my pocket, do you have anything else to say, Salazar?"
Without any elders to ask, Salazar had become Harry's only consultation partner. Thinking about it now, if the ghost hadn't brought them to that secret room, the situation now would have been much worse, as far as he was concerned.
"If you are really in danger," Salazar warned him sternly, his expression more serious than ever before, "Be sure to let Haierbo out. His skin can withstand many physical attacks and magic, and the venom can also be used immediately. Let's make it deadly for Muggles...not to mention how big it is."
Harry opened his mouth slightly, and then he remembered that there was a basilisk around his wrist - it was so quiet that Harry almost forgot about its existence.
"But what if, I mean, if," Harry felt a little unsure, but still asked the portrait, "I can't control its power, what should I do?"
"Then think more about your father," Salazar changed his posture in the portrait and leaned against the frame. His handsome face was full of coldness. He said coldly, "Think about it if you can't control it - think about it if you So if something happens, what will your father do? If you are caught right here, what will you do to your father and his students? You are his son, and it is your responsibility to lead all the students to a safe place, no matter what How old you are is your responsibility, no one else’s.”
He concluded by saying, "Remember, if you can't do what you're supposed to do here - you've failed in your responsibilities."
My responsibility my responsibility my responsibility. Harry repeated this to himself three times in his mind, and then solemnly said to the portrait: "I remember."
The portrait nodded, and then Harry put it into the inner pocket of his clothes, holding it close to his chest to prevent it from falling out. Then from behind the wall, he estimated the two armed men guarding the artificial lake.
Two sounds like a number I can handle. Harry thought to himself, took out a piece of paper and a pen, thought for a while, wrote 'lake, two, ice' on it, and then folded it into a small paper crane - he was not Draco's unlucky hand. The guy - recited a spell and let it fly into the house to report the news.
This spell was taught by Draco - it was written on the last paper crane in the pile, and the intention to please was obvious.
Oh, no, I left Draco there, even though I had no intention of bringing him here.
Harry patted his face, shook Draco out of his mind, and then picked up something new from the grass behind him. It had a long handle and a neatly trimmed tail. The words 'Nimbus 2000' were still engraved on it. The squiggles... How should I put it? At this time, Harry was grateful to Sirius for buying him random things. At least this broom was a eliminated model (although Harry had never used it once) in Hank's laboratory. It has been put away well, still in good condition and has not been dismantled.
"As soon as you see mutants appearing," Harry heard the words that made his heart beat faster as he approached slowly on his broom, even though it was the voice coming from the walkie-talkie, "immediately send out stun bombs, don't let them have any chance. When you have the opportunity to use your abilities, send the targets over and lock them in the car, and surround the others and lock them up..."
'Targets'?
Harry's nails scratched the fabric of the invisibility cloak impatiently, and then let the broom fly over the two people. Although it inevitably brought up a bit of wind, fortunately it was summer, and the two people looked up to the sky sensitively. , after seeing the blue sky and the blazing sun, he still lowered his head. At this time, Harry had already quietly landed on the ground, tightly wrapped the invisibility cloak, not daring to let out a breath, took out the two wands on his body, and opened them behind them. In one corner, he pointed the tip of the wand at one hand and recited the Stunning Charm twice quickly and quietly:
"Fainted to the ground! Fainted to the ground!"
The man on the left fell down without any hesitation, while the man on the right quickly dodged the spell and rushed towards Harry, with a look of shock on his face that probably said 'Why can anyone still use abilities?', and Harry quickly reapplied the stun spell before the man staggered and fell down. To be on the safe side, Harry applied the stun spell to each of them once, and then drank a mouthful of life and death water for each of them - it happened to be the one he gave to Jean. The leftover brewing, although this thing is intended to be a dreamless potion, its properties are also quite hypnotic.
【Can I eat it? ] Haierbo poked his head out of his sleeve faintly, [Harry, little master, can I eat them? 】
[No, living people cannot eat it. 】 Harry said, holding its head and pointing it at the power grid that had the same shielding capabilities as a signal shielding device. After thinking about it, he gave up the plan of destroying it with venom, because who knew whether it would cause a chemical explosion.
Finally, he looked at the row of power grids that were as tall as two of him, touched his chin, and threw most of them into the lake with a floating spell - although this was sorry for his grandfather, Charles's stepfather, who was said to be very fond of this lake - After discovering that this had immediate results, he poked the remaining two parts of the power grid with his wand. After it burst out sparks, he took a few steps back and threw one in pieces, much like he had done for the first time when he was a child. When frying eggs, he stretched out his hands so long that he turned his face to one side, stood far away, and leaned his whole upper body back.
After being hit by the curse, the remaining equipment crackled and emitted a bunch of sparks. Harry couldn't help but push it a few more steps, but it eventually turned into a pile of broken pieces.
He let out a long sigh of relief. After all, his tutor prevented him from destroying these things and then watching the equipment explode, causing casualties to people, even the enemy.
Keep alive, everyone is alive, this is the principle of the Xavier family, they all yearn for life, not death, it is the same for themselves and others, although Harry does have a desire to throw these people into the lake and use them again The urge to freeze the lake - so they couldn't harm his family and friends.
There was a soft call from above. Harry looked up and saw Jean standing at the nearest window. She must have felt that the pressure here suddenly decreased, so she came over. Uh, wait a minute, she is still talking. Something.
"Go to the front...head..."
"What?" Harry blinked and spoke louder.
Jean pointed in the direction behind him: "Go to the front! Destroy the others! Scott and the others have already led the others here!!"
………………
Colonel Cruise is thirty-eight years old. He is not very young or capable, but he has climbed to his current position with some courage. In his own words, he is the type who stands out because he has done a lot for the country and the government.
In fact, if he had to say it himself, he would not be willing to come here to handle this task - safety is not guaranteed. Since the most capable officer in this department, young Mr. Stryker, and his son were assassinated five years ago, the latter's body was even hidden deep and was covered with insects when it was discovered, while the former's information and notes were also swept away. After that, no one worked as hard on 'how to capture mutants' as he did, and the equipment was not safe enough. Therefore, who knows whether those weird races will Will it pass through layers of protection while you sleep and kill you?
But he had to come - orders were issued from above. The world's most powerful mind-reader not only controlled the systems of several countries a few hours ago, causing missiles to launch into the sky, but also issued a terrifying declaration. Therefore, the above They have to break the peace of the past ten years, and they need to catch this group of criminals and those who may commit crimes and lock them up.
Now Cruise is sitting in the most important position in the car, watching a row of red light on the instrument disappear rapidly. He immediately asks someone to check these two numbers - all shielding facilities have numbers, and the numbers are guarded wherever they are. It was clear that the fact that a facility had been destroyed was proof that the people inside had not only noticed them, but were not ready to sit back and wait for death.
The subordinate accompanying him spoke several words into the intercom and then reported: "There is no response, it should have been resolved."
In their minds, this 'solution' is undoubtedly to be killed, and they don't think that people with dangerous abilities that are different from ordinary people would really show any mercy to ordinary people. And these made cruise determined.
"Just rush in," he gave the order, "Place the facility forward, bring stun bombs and potions, and capture them directly if you encounter them. Don't forget to prioritize the targets on the list, but if you capture Harry Xavier, return them all first. Retreat in the car!!!"
Charles Xavier's only son, this is of course the most important target. Who else is more suitable to be a hostage than him? Although it is said that he is studying abroad, at this time, who knows if this is an excuse.
After Cruise finished speaking, he immediately stood up and walked towards the door. The armed soldiers followed him one after another. Of course, the people accompanying him also used the loudspeaker to temporarily show off: "This is a national medical institution, please wait patiently for rescue." …”
The door was slightly open and unlocked, which was beyond Cruise's expectation. As an experienced person rather than a newcomer, he was of course extremely cautious. Even the first step into the hall was extremely cautious... Facts have proved that this It's useless.
Something suddenly fell from the top of his head, making a noisy cry, and jumped forward quickly. He subconsciously wanted to catch up, but when he took a closer look, he found that it was a chocolate-colored frog. As he jumped, something that looked like melted chocolate fell down, and when he wanted to go up again to see if what was dripping was venom, his foot stepped on a slippery area, and then he chirped. He fell down and was dancing and couldn't stand up on his own. When the soldiers helped him up, a girl's laughter came from the stairs. He looked up angrily and found a black-haired girl standing at the top of the stairs. Chu smiled very annoyingly. She glanced at them and ran away like a frightened rabbit.
"Follow me!" he shouted, rushing to the front.
They all raised their feet and ran up the stairs, paying attention to whether there was still that strange oil on the ground that made it difficult to stand up. However, they were still frightened and some of them fell down the stairs. One of them had sharp teeth. , books biting like dogs, and several four-string fireworks that kept flying at the height of their knees were thrown out from several rooms that suddenly opened the door.
"Do you like this welcome?" Several boys and girls not far from them laughed, and then ran away in one direction. Just as Cruise was about to get rid of the book biting his calf, he was hit by a bucket of ice. The stagnant water was poured from head to toe - he didn't even know how the bucket of water appeared.
…………
"That's all you have?!" John said, "Why don't you hit him with an ice knife on his face!"
Bobby glared at him: "Can you string them together into a BBQ?"
"We still have to run back," John said. "There is no shielding grid there."
"Then stop talking nonsense and run!" Bobby pulled him and ran. "You have to go to the study and leave later! Hurry!"
………………
Harry was sighing and found out that he knew a very convenient method - in front of him, Haierbo restored his system and swung all the instruments far away with one tail, so that they did not need to fall apart when they fell to the ground due to gravity acceleration. .
To be honest, when he came to do this task, he was a little prepared to never return, but it seemed that he was overthinking it.
"You should be more straightforward and useful, you are better than them," the basilisk said in a lecturing tone after shrinking, and touched him with its tail, "See how much trouble I can save you." 】
【You are great. 】 Harry praised sincerely, and then he didn’t need to wear an invisibility cloak. He just left the knocked out driver and two caregivers there, turned a corner on the broom and returned to the garden, just in time to catch up with Scott’s shout. Chanting:
"Let them know that we are not a bunch of kids they can just bully!"
When all the shielding equipment goes to hell, the situation can be said to be very one-sided.
I saw only a few whooshes, and with Harry's dynamic vision adjusted by abilities, Peter used an exaggerated air walk to turn the muzzles of the soldiers' guns when they were about to shoot, and also took away a few documents and badges. I don't know. Why did he stay? John made a gun gesture with his hand, pointed it at Colonel Cruise and gave it an exaggerated bang. His beard, cuffs and all the flammable places on his body caught fire, while Bobby gently let it go. The place cooled down and froze all their muzzles.
Harry used a household charm to make a long rope spin out from the tip of his wand, knotting them all and floating them in the air.
"Where is the best place to throw it?" Scott said, "How about the lake? Freeze it on the ice."
Bobby casually made an ice cage and came out. This was something he learned after Harry told them a story before - it would not freeze people to death, but could trap them at the same time.
Harry's mouth twitched and he asked him first: "Didn't I tell you to send the others away first? Who will teach them how to use Floo powder when you are all here!"
"You look down on us too much," Scott grinned, "If you, a twelve-year-old child, are allowed to stand alone, where will the faces of us adults be?"
Harry: "Last month, a group of adults secretly drove Alex's car out to watch a movie."
Scott: "So what... I'm older than you anyway! Come up here, throw these people wherever you want, and let's leave!"
Peter didn't tolerate Harry's objection and picked him up and ran upstairs. When they arrived at the study, the children had almost left. Kreacher had been helping count the number of people, while Nina stubbornly wanted to wait until Harry and Peter left together. Willing to go.
"I have to go last and be responsible for sealing the fireplace here, remember," Harry said. "I have the door key and I don't need to go through the fireplace, so you go with Peter, okay?"
"Are you saying you're going to have a divorce?" Scott said very unhappily.
"Only I can break the queen," Harry said, "but it's not terrible...it only takes a spell, and then I...!!!"
The ground shook violently, and everything around them suddenly floated. Everyone looked at the two people who could do this. Jean and Harry looked at each other. It was obvious that this was not done by the two of them. .
"Hurry up," Harry had an ominous premonition in his heart. His sixth sense was always very accurate, so he put Nina into Peter's arms, "Hurry up and get in! Say it quickly and get the name right!!" He drove them all into the fireplace one by one.
"It's too late, we have to move immediately!!!" Jean seemed to have a headache. She covered her head, "Someone is coming!! But I can't enter his mind... We have to find another way!!!"
"I'll send the rest away first," Peter decided immediately, picked up Nina and the remaining child and stepped into the fireplace, "Potter Manor!!!"
Harry counted the remaining people - Jean, Scott, John, Bobby, and himself.
"You two go!" He put the Floo powder into Bobby's hand.
"Let's go together!" John said.
"The fireplace is not that wide, let's go!!!" Harry yelled angrily, and even pulled his wound for a moment, "Cough cough cough..."
"Don't talk nonsense." Scott pushed the two of them into the fireplace, and glared at one of them - although the red quartz glasses hid a lot - Bobby had no choice but to pull John and let them be passed by the green flames.
The moment they disappeared into the flames, an unknown gravitational force pulled Harry upwards. Jean and Scott quickly held his feet. At the same time, strong winds blew and dark clouds gathered outside the window. And just when the first bolt of lightning struck, two figures appeared in the house.
"Who?!" Scott asked loudly, dragging Harry down and letting Jean hold him, "Who are you?!"
Of the two people who came uninvited, the boy who was a boy kept his eyes fixed on Harry. He stretched out his hand and Harry found that his body was running in that direction again, and he was running extremely fast—— The good news stopped midway.
Jean and the strange blond boy made the same move - dragging Harry towards him. They seemed to have similar abilities, so the young man showed a playful expression, while Jean had a cold face, and suddenly slapped forward with the other hand, actually making the young man take a few steps back, and she immediately grabbed it Harry replied, and at the same time, a basilisk that suddenly grew in size slipped out of Harry's wrist, opened his mouth and bit the boy a big bite.
[Helpo, come back! 】 Harry watched sharply as the boy was in pain and trying to grab Haierbo with one hand, and quickly called it back, "We have to leave!" 】
The basilisk was extremely agile and immediately wrapped its arms around his wrists. Harry grabbed both of them with one hand and took out the key with the other hand.
"Harry James Potter!" He chanted quickly, and then with a bang, two people and a basilisk disappeared from the place.
