Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Page 472

Fred waved a pink-feathered pinnacle and pulled the hat on his head grinningly.

For a split second he looks goofy, and then the hat and head are gone!

A few girls screamed, and the others roared with laughter.

"Hats off!" cried George, and Fred's hand fumbled on his shoulder.

His head reappeared, and the pink feather hat was removed.

"Wow, how did he do that?!" Ron looked at the hat in amazement.

"It seems funny to lose your head!" Elaine said, also looking at the pink hat in Fred's hand. "I heard the story about a knight who lost his head. Look for your own head, and if you come across someone's head, you'll chop it off and take it home."

"That's just a legend!"

"It's not a legend, because the Headless Horseman really came to my house as a guest!" Elaine said seriously, her wine-red pupils flicked across the faces of Ivan, Harry, Hermione, and Ron, " I have seen it with my own eyes. It was a knight in black armor, covered in black smoke all over his body, with his right hand holding a head around his waist. The exposed skin looked like moldy cheese with a big mouth like a fly. Its huge compound eyes are constantly looking for the next target..."

"It can't be true, can it?" Ron stopped smiling, and looked at Elaine in fear.

"Of course it's true, if you meet him, watch your head!" Elaine said, "He's looking for a substitute!"

When Ron turned around in panic, Ivan knocked Elaine on the head again.

"There is no such thing as a headless horseman, don't scare people!" he whispered.

"How do you know what I said is false?!" Elaine said bluntly, looking at Ivan with a smile.

"Because I saw you sniggering!" Ai Wen curled his lips, this guy is really wicked!

Like having some dangerous thoughts from time to time, as well as biting and licking Aiwen, scaring others is also one of her interests.

Chapter 1039 The Prison Break of the Death Eaters

The more familiar I am with Elaine, the more obvious I can feel these qualities in her.

Unlike Fred and George's pranks, Elaine is used to telling lies with a serious face, as if they are true.

She didn't have any bad intentions, she just thought it was fun, this guy has no resistance to fun and interesting things.

But Ivan is too familiar with her, and Hermione is very smart, able to recognize the truth of the facts, and is rarely deceived.

After Elaine failed a few times with the two of them, she began to shift her target to Ron.

Speaking of it, Ron is a bit too easy to be fooled. Anyone who hears this kind of absurd legend of the headless horseman knows it is false.

"Well, their invention is quite powerful!" Hermione looked at the hats in Fred and George's hands with interest, "It must have used an invisibility spell, but it expanded the invisible area beyond the enchanted object Pretty clever, I'm not sure how the two of them did it."

"They referred to the method of making the invisibility cloak!" Aiwen said, "They found the information from the Black family's collection."

There are a lot of profound magic in that library, as well as the magic research notes of the ancestors of the Black family.

After Fred and George put forward such ideas, Ivan recommended a magic book and related materials to them, and it seemed to work well.

Harry didn't take part in their conversation, still uncomfortable, staring blankly at the fire with his textbook.

He was really uncomfortable, after being penetrated by Snape, there was only a kind of emptiness in his body, just like the night he dreamed of the evil god.

"I'll do it tomorrow." He stuffed back the textbook he had just taken out of his schoolbag.

"Write it down in your homework planner!" Hermione suggested hastily, "so you don't forget!"

Harry did as Hermione told him to. He took the planner out of his bag and opened it carefully.

"Don't talk about doing it in the future, you second-rate product!" Benzi scolded.

Harry jotted down his Potions and Divination homework, and Hermione smiled with satisfaction.

"I'm going to bed." Harry stuffed his homework planner into his schoolbag, thinking he'd throw it in the fire at the first chance.

He stood up, stopped immediately, and in front of him, the bright flame danced.

Harry stared at the flames in a daze, feeling more and more obvious, and he couldn't help thinking that he wouldn't be in touch with Voldemort again.

Not long ago, Sirius had clearly told him that Voldemort would not easily contact him now.

But the picture in front of me is getting more and more blurred, what is it this time?

In a daze, Harry didn't know where he was, whether he was standing or lying down, and he didn't even know his own name.

He didn't see any pictures, but the crazy laughter echoed in his ears, he hasn't been this happy for a long time!

Excited, ecstatic, ecstatic, a great thing has happened.

What was it, Harry wanted to feel more clearly, but the other party seemed to be guarding him.

"Harry, Harry!" Someone slapped him.

A cry of pain intervened in the maniacal laughter, and the joy faded away, but the laughter continued.

Harry opened his eyes to find that the maniacal laugh was coming from his own mouth.

As soon as he realized this, the laughter died.

In the common room, everyone looked at him in fear.

Beside him, Ivan woke him up just now, with a cautious look on his face.

Hermione was holding the homework planner in her hand, as if under the petrification spell, and Ron's eyes couldn't tell anything strange.

The same is true for Elaine, who didn't even notice that the bloody lollipop in her hand fell to the ground.

Harry lay panting on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, the scar on his forehead throbbing horribly.

"What's going on, what did Voldemort show you?" Ivan asked, pulling Harry into a corner.

"I didn't see anything, he cut off the connection with me, but he was very happy, something good happened!" Harry muttered, panting, very uncomfortable, as if he might pass out at any moment, " It's what he's been looking forward to."

"Harry, you shouldn't be seeing this!" said Ron worriedly.

"I know!" Harry said irritably. "Occlumency didn't work, it weakened my resistance."

"Obviously, after Snape tossed your brains, you are now weak!" Hermione said. "Your connection with him has strengthened, but it's strange. Why is he happy? What good thing made him ecstatic?"

"Could it be the one in the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries?"

"Probably not, the Order of the Phoenix sent people to watch over there!" Ai Wen thought for a moment, and continued, "If there is no progress from the evil god, it should be that those Death Eaters have escaped from prison, and his strength has been enhanced. .”

He had considered the current situation a long time ago, the defection of the Dementors and the escape of the Death Eaters were bound to happen.

They have no way to stop them, Fudge and the Ministry of Magic are unwilling to believe them, and the Order of the Phoenix has no ability to guard Azkaban.

As bad as it was, it was expected and planned.

To lure Voldemort out again, he must feel that his strength has increased, otherwise he will keep hiding.

From this perspective, the Death Eater's escape is not entirely a bad thing.

However, there are indeed a few troublesome guys in there.

"God, Ivan, you said those Death Eaters..."

"Yes, they escaped from prison!" Ivan said in a low voice, noticing that everyone else was looking at them.

"If that's the case, we should inform Dumbledore!"

"The principal has known about it for a long time. This will happen sooner or later. I have talked with Sirius, and the Order of the Phoenix has made some preparations!" Aiwen said, "Wait for the newspaper tomorrow morning, there should be a detailed story. "

"But, I mean, what are we going to do? Just sit here?" said Ron worriedly.

"You can also hurry up and learn a few more spells to prepare for future battles!" Ivan said, "but I suggest you and Harry go back to sleep, he is in a terrible state now, um, Harry, try Keep emptying your mind and keep practicing Occlumency, but nothing else should happen tonight."

There was a moment of silence, Harry and Ron looked at Ivan in astonishment.

A vicious event like Death Eaters escaped from prison happened, and Ivan actually suggested that they go back to the house to sleep...

But if you think about it carefully, they really can't do much, they can only wait and see what happens.

Aiwen buried his head in the herbal medicine textbook again. The occurrence of this incident was a major turning point, and the peaceful life was over!

Sure enough, they saw the report in the next day's newspaper.

As usual, when Hermione's Daily Prophet arrived, she opened it and read the front page first.

Then he slammed the newspaper down and spread it on the table, touching the milk glass.

"Look!" She pointed to the thirty small black-and-white photos that filled the front page, the faces of 29 wizards and one witch.

Some were laughing silently, some arrogantly tapped the frame with their fingers, and each photo was marked with a name and the crime of being imprisoned in Azkaban.

Antonin Dolokhov, a wizard with a long, pale, twisted face, sneered at them.

He brutally killed Gideon and Fabian Prewett, Mrs. Weasley's brother and Ron and Ginny's uncle.

August Rookwood, a pockmarked man with oily hair, leaned against the frame with a bored expression.

He revealed the secrets of the Ministry of Magic to the mysterious man. He used to work in the Department of Mysteries. With his help, Voldemort's progress will be accelerated.

Chapter 1040 Fudge's accusation

Ivan took a quick look, but there was no photo of Pettigrew Peter.

Poor fellow, he was now Azkaban's most closely guarded prisoner, considered the most dangerous Death Eater, but Voldemort didn't even look at him.

Thirty Death Eaters escaped from prison, but there is no Peter Pettigrew, which already shows the problem.

While Ivan was browsing the photos, Harry's eyes were attracted by the witch, and her face jumped into his eyes when he first glanced at the newspaper.

The only female Death Eater featured in the newspaper, Bellatrix Lestrange.

Her long black hair looks disheveled in the photo, which is completely different from the smooth and shiny long hair seen in Kreacher before.

The eyes under the thick lids stared at everyone, and there was a haughty, contemptuous smile on the thin lips.

Like Sirius before her, she still retains some traces of her good looks.

But something, maybe Azkaban, had taken most of her beauty away.

Like everyone else, a short bio is below her photo.

She once tortured Frank and Alice Longbottom, leaving them permanently disabled.

But Aiwen knew that her crimes were far more than reported, and the same was true of other Death Eaters.

"The Ministry of Magic announced a mass escape from Azkaban last night!" Hermione read, "Minister Cornelius Fudge confirmed in an interview in his office that thirty felons escaped last night, and he has informed the Muggle Prime Minister Notified of the danger of the fugitive."

"It's a shame that we're in the same situation we were in when Sirius Black escaped two and a half years ago," Fudge said last night. There is no positive evidence that he is a prisoner, but you must know that such a large-scale escape makes it doubtful that there is outside support. As the first person to escape from Azkaban, Black is most qualified to help others escape from prison, or to escape him from Azkaban. We have to be so suspicious that Ben's experience and methods of escape have been leaked, since Blake's cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange, is among the fugitives."

"I can't believe it!" Harry roared. "Fudge blamed Sirius for the Death Eaters' escape?"

"It's really incredible!" Ivan said.

"What else can he do?" Hermione said sarcastically. "He can say sorry. Dumbledore reminded me that the guards of Azkaban defected to Voldemort. He spent a year telling everyone that you and Dumbledore Lido is a liar, isn't he?"

"But Sirius has been proven innocent!" Harry said incredulously.

"Fudge doesn't think so, he thinks that Sirius may commit new crimes at any time!"

"How can any prisoner stay at home and wait for the Ministry of Magic to catch him?!"

"Yeah, everyone knows what's going on, but Fudge needs a prisoner. If he doesn't dare to admit that Voldemort has returned, he can only push the responsibility to other people." Ivan said, "Don't worry, Harry , Sirius will be fine."

"He has enough evidence to prove that he didn't do it. We can all prove it for him if necessary. Fudge can't do it if he wants to wrong him. Don't hum, Ron, there's more to come!" said Hermione, bowing her head and continuing Looking at the newspaper, "Elaine, he mentioned your uncle. In addition to accusing Sirius, Fudge believes that the escape of Death Eaters has something to do with vampires. You planned the whole incident. He said that those Death Eaters killed your uncle. Be a leader."

"I'm used to it!" Elaine said disapprovingly, "It's not surprising at all, human wizards always blame us for various things, and most of the bad things they accuse vampires of doing have nothing to do with us. "

"What else did that idiot say?" Harry asked angrily.

"He said that the Ministry of Magic is sparing no effort to hunt down the fugitives, and asked the public to be vigilant and not to approach these important criminals, there will be no more!" Hermione read the last paragraph of the newspaper and flipped through it dissatisfiedly, "They should reported in detail."

"Wait for the Hogwarts Wizarding News!" Ivan said, "Lupine should have a more detailed story. Since this incident is classified as a prison escape, it means that the dementors did not rebel on the surface. ..."

Voldemort was very careful, he really needed the help of the elite Death Eaters, but he still didn't want to leak the news of his return.

That's why there was a large-scale prison break, and Fudge would not admit that there was a problem with the dementor.

Because acknowledging that there is a problem with the dementor is equivalent to acknowledging the return of Voldemort in disguise.

Voldemort is very good at playing with people's hearts, and he eats Fudge's heart to death.

But it was of no use, for Magic could not give a satisfactory explanation for the escape without acknowledging the defection of the dementors.

As long as the IQ is not negative, people will see the clues. Ivan feels that it is necessary to publish the article written by Rita Skeeter for them during the summer vacation, to tell everyone the truth, to tell everyone, what is the magic world? what's going on.

Meanwhile, Harry looked around the Hall, wondering why the other students didn't seem panicked.
