Isn't it much easier to steal from a group of students than directly from the Ministry of Magic?
However, this thief is not from his country and does not know enough about Hogwarts. At least he does not know that there are many magic traps and secret words in this castle. But I don't know if it was a sudden stroke of luck. He managed to stay in Hogwarts, but unfortunately he got stuck in front of the door of the Slytherin lounge.
Yes, he was wandering in front of the Slytherin lounge door when he was caught because he couldn't get in.
The lounge at Hogwarts not only requires a password, but also a gatekeeper, a portrait, a tapestry or a statue, none of which can be solved by spells. You must require a password and the gatekeeper's consent to enter. Apparently Nello Hall didn't qualify for either, so he was stuck on the first step of the theft and got caught red-handed.
Although he was very pitiful when he said that he had runny nose and tears, the expressions of several people present were not very good. After finally catching someone, it turned out to be just a smoke bomb and had nothing to do with kidnapping Harry.
But Professor Snape obviously didn't give up. He grabbed the other party's collar and said, "Tell me clearly about your encounter with Skeeter and Crouch during the day!"
Nello Hall nodded hurriedly. But in fact, he didn't know much. His identity was assumed by him after drinking Polyjuice Potion. The names and identities of the two of them were only found out halfway. Other than that, he only knew that Skeeter was looking forward to this visit. , and "Mr. Crouch" had a serious expression on his face all the way, and he would only respond to Skeeter's words indifferently, without seeing anything wrong at all.
However, Skeeter was very active. Most of what Hall said was about this female reporter, and he was obviously too impressed.
Professor McGonagall on the side had a stern look on her face. Skeeter was missing. It was difficult not to make them think more about whether the other party was also involved in the kidnapping.
More than an hour later, the Auror team arrived belatedly. They spoke arrogantly and wanted to take Hall away.
…
When Noah left the school, he happened to see an Auror flying into the school area on a broomstick.
These guys should choose the Floo network. After all, it is much easier and faster than flying here. I don’t know what these people are thinking.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Noah. He had already reached the Forbidden Forest with ease and disappeared into the forest the moment he escaped from the castle's phantom movement restrictions.
The Thestrals, who came a step late, tilted their heads and looked around, snorted and wandered off to other places.
Noah naturally didn't care about the approaching Thestrals. He followed the direction pointed by the Shadow Snake and successfully found the place where Harry was imprisoned. Of course, he also found the culprit of the kidnapping case.
Just...the Lestrange House?
Noah narrowed his eyes and looked at the familiar mansion.
He has naturally been here before. He visited secretly at the beginning when he was looking for Horcruxes. He also came here later after learning about Eve's situation. I just didn't expect to be here again this time. So it is indeed related to Rebnold.
This mansion has already set up the manor's guardian magic. Only rich people can do this. Although Lestrange has declined, there have always been many things left behind, and this is one of them. The powerful guardian magic effectively restrains spells such as phantom migration and prevents unauthorized persons from approaching the mansion.
The only way to enter the mansion at this time is to use the Portkey.
Noah flew over the manor, his eyes wandering on the fence wall of the manor, wondering how to get in. Why don't you just break it? He's here to kick the ball, and he's not playing a game of sneaking in to save people. There's nothing wrong with fighting him directly. The only question is how many people are inside. How about setting up a forbidden area? But after thinking about it, Noah gave up this plan.
His intuition told him that there should be a lot of people inside. It would not be a wise choice to directly confront an unknown number of people without magic. He might not be able to keep everyone behind or escape unscathed.
Then... choose a more direct method.
【Urgent as a rule! 】
Thunderclouds condensed in the sky at some point, and thunder light shuttled among the dark clouds. Noah formed a seal with his hands, and at the moment when the thunderclouds condensed and formed, he softly shouted: "Thunder and lightning, summon me!"
The thick thunder pillar fell down instantly, hitting the manor below hard.
The invisible shield resisted the thunder pillar for a moment and then shattered like glass, allowing the thunder pillar to fall hard into the manor, splitting the front yard of the manor into a charred black color.
Noah let go of his hand with satisfaction. After the thunder and fire on the ground subsided, he slowly fell from the sky and landed on the charred land.
At the same time, the people in the house were finally alerted. They opened the door and walked out, but they all kept their heads raised and looked at the sky, trying to figure out what the loud noise was, and they didn't notice Noah at all.
Noah: “…”
By the time they noticed Noah, Noah had already matched these faces with familiar faces in his memory.
It seems that there is a second prison break in Azkaban. Look, except for Rebnold, all the other faces should be in Azkaban. Barty Crouch Jr., Bellatrix Lestrange, Rodolphus Lestrange, Rabstan Lestrange, Antonin Dolohov… ...There are nine people in total, and the content of Death Eaters is 100%, which is shockingly high. It is a completely different scene from the last "Betrayer Gathering".
Sure enough, even if Voldemort is killed, Death Eaters will still be a big problem. Noah thought casually, wondering who the Death Eaters escaped this time. It was probably not just the people in front of him. The most terrible thing was that Azkaban did not seem to have revealed the Azkaban prison break.
Either this hasn't been discovered yet, or...Azkaban has fallen.
Seeing that several people had noticed him, Noah also revealed his magic spell: "Let's gather everyone."
Judging from the magic feedback results, apart from Harry in the basement, there are only two house elves left. House elves generally do not participate in battles and can be ignored. Then the only ones he has to deal with are these Death Eaters. .
The clouds in the sky were still rolling, and it was already a gloomy and humid weather. Because of Noah's curse, it became even more wet and cold. Suddenly, a drop of rain as big as a bean fell on the charred land, accompanied by a "sizzling" sound. Gray-black mist came out. Then more raindrops fell, and in just ten seconds it turned into a downpour.
The rain curtain obscured the sight, and when the Death Eaters tightened their grip on their wands, something dark was already spreading along the charred earth beneath their feet.
"Who are you?" asked a group of Death Eaters who did not know "Lemon".
Rebnold, who guessed the identity of the other party, narrowed his eyes: "Be careful, he is the guy who defeated the master before."
The expressions of several Death Eaters suddenly changed, and Bellatrix even screamed: "Can he defeat the master?!"
Besides Dumbledore and Harry Potter, who somehow plotted against the master, who else could defeat the master? ! No, some trick must have been used!
At this time, I heard Rebnold continue: "He seems to have a very strange magic that can invalidate the master's magic."
Very good, it turned out to be some kind of trick! Despicable guy!
Noah glanced at his feet. The hazy gray-black water mist was spreading, which was a big obstacle to his vision. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the wet and cold moisture was mixed with the smell. Just the smell made people feel... Dizziness and discomfort. This was the suffocation caused by the smoke mixing into the respiratory tract. Noah skillfully used a magic to shield it, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The next second, the dark shadow rose from the ground, swallowing several Death Eaters like a giant beast, and then sank back into the shadow with huge magic fluctuations like a whale falling into the sea.
Noah's best practice at present is shadow magic. As early as when he was fighting Dumbledore, he was able to skillfully expand a realm of shadows. Now he can pull people into the world of shadows, but the prerequisite is The opponent was unprepared and had no time to move. If he ran fast, he wouldn't be able to pull him in. Maybe he would have to wait until Noah was stronger to pull him in faster and more quietly.
But at the moment, he relied on the fact that a few people didn't notice and the right time and place, and he successfully pulled a few people in.
I just don’t know how long they can resist.
Just when Noah wanted to check the situation in the Shadow World, a fireball suddenly attacked him. The shadow surged like quicksand, and a barrier rose from the ground, blocking the fireball.
The flames hit the blackness and were extinguished without even splashing.
As the veil of shadow fell back, Noah turned his attention to the source of the attack, and was somewhat surprised to find that it was actually two house elves. Those two pairs of overly big eyes were staring at him viciously, their expressions undoubtedly one of hatred and anger.
"Let go of my master!!!"
"Huh?" Noah walked towards them, and the shadows squirmed wherever he passed, as if there were some dangerous monsters hiding.
The two house elves were obviously frightened by him. They hugged each other and began to tremble unconsciously. But even so, they did not retreat, and one even extended his hand. As the finger was raised, an invisible force appeared under Noah's feet, and a shadow emerged at the same time. A concave arc like a bubble was directly exploded by this invisible force.
Noah raised his eyebrows: "Your courage is commendable."
A huge shadow snake emerged from behind him, raising its huge head and swallowing the snake message as it looked down at the two trembling house elves.
The strength of house elves has never been weak. They are natural masters of spellcasting without spells and wands. They also have extremely powerful magic power. Ordinary wizards are far from their opponents. But tonight... they faced an enemy they could not resist.
Some people died, but not completely...
