Chapter 482 Beyond Disaster

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! ...Ron, there is light ahead! We are almost there!

When the whole of Hogwarts fell into an indiscriminate disaster, Harry and Ron, who were walking in the tunnel, finally found the exit.

is there a door? Or is it still the back of a painting? They didn't know, but they understood that they could finally get out of this straight and long tunnel.

The two walked a few steps quickly, and came to a... um, a bedroom from the exit of the tunnel?

Harry and Ron glanced left and right, then looked at each other again. This bedroom looks very simple, everything is old, and no matter how forgiving a large number of people may not be able to describe it as clean and tidy.

Of course, the most important thing is - they can all be sure that they have never been here, but the furnishings here make them feel an inexplicable familiarity, as if they have seen it somewhere.

Harry turned his head, and he saw behind them that the hole they came out of was slowly closing, and what covered it was still a magical oil painting that was exactly the same as the one they had seen before.

When the girl in the painting noticed that Harry was looking at her, she nodded slightly in this direction.

Uh... thank you for bringing us here, Harry hesitated, but can you tell us where this is? Who owns it?

But the girl in the painting still didn't answer his question, but stretched out her fair arm and gestured towards the door on one side.

Harry and Ron, who turned around after hearing the sound, looked at the door together, and when they turned back again, the girl had already turned and walked into the woods in the painting.

Anyway, we have to go out and have a look first... Ron thought for a while, and couldn't help suggesting, Maka must know about this tunnel, and this may be another stronghold of the Order of the Phoenix... Even if it isn't, it should be here. It's not going to be a dangerous place, is it?

I think you're right.

Although it is not only dirty everywhere, but also quite dark, it doesn't look like a good place. Still, Harry nodded in agreement.

However, the training sessions were not in vain. Not to mention the learning progress of magic, at least the intense training has increased their vigilance, and it is always right to be careful in unfamiliar environments.

This time Ron took the initiative to walk in front, wand clutched tightly in his hand, and cautiously opened the bedroom door. Harry, who was following behind him, shook his wand quickly, extinguishing the light on the tip of the wand.

With a slight creak, Ron turned the handle and opened the door.

Just when he was about to glance at the equally dim outside, a small black figure suddenly rushed in through the half-open door!

Oh--

Ron suddenly felt that there was a strong impact on his abdomen, knocking him and Harry behind him to the floor, and there was a heavy muffled sound.

Oh - my belly, Ron moaned. What's going on? Enemies?

Don't be dazed! That thing is right in front of us! Harry hurriedly grabbed Ron's clothes and dragged him back hard, Armor protection!

No, don't—

Of course, Ron was very grateful for Harry's timely response, because Harry had cast the Iron Armor Charm on him. But honestly, he thinks he's seen what hit him in the stomach.

Harry, don't get excited! It's not the enemy...it's just a goat!

What... Harry, who was sitting on the floor, froze for a moment, thinking he had heard it wrong, he quickly waved the wand in his hand again, Luminescent flashes!

The light shone from the tip of his wand again, and then they saw a goat with a pair of beautifully curved horns, looking them from side to side.

Oh— Harry seemed to remember something, suddenly said,

It's the goat!

You still have a goat friend? Ron said casually while helping his waist to get up.

No! I mean...it's the goat that's always hanging around the Hog's Head! Don't you remember? The barkeeper used to let him walk around the shop...

Harry said, and stood up from the floor in a hurry.

In other words, we are in the Pig's Head Bar? And there is a secret passage in the boss' bedroom, leading to the place where we are trapped? Ron said, waving his hands repeatedly, trying to drive the goat aside Go, but that doesn't seem to be working.

Sorry, we have to get out...to petrify everything, Harry said apologetically, then flicked his wand and temporarily immobilized the poor goat with a Body Binding Charm.

Curse a goat and you'll be sued by the Wizengamot! muttered Ron.

I think, before that, we have to think about the issue of casting spells outside the school. Harry waved his hands, Don't talk about it, go out first...

After the two finished speaking, they hurriedly left the goat lying on the ground stiff, and left the small bedroom.

When they got outside, they recognized it immediately—it was indeed the Pig's Head pub in the corner of Hogsmeade village.

Everything here is still the same as before, and the windows that are full of dirt can't even let in the light. But this dirty and dilapidated furnishings brought them a subtle sense of peace of mind.

No matter how unbearable it was, this was a place they felt familiar with, even though there wasn't even a single person here.

Harry hurriedly ran to the door and pulled out the bolt, and suddenly the light from outside flooded into the dim bar unscrupulously, making them almost blinded.

Judging by the light outside the door, it was definitely already daytime the next day.

The two are still ignorant of the terrible situation at Hogwarts, but this does not prevent them from feeling anxious. Dumbledore's funeral may have already begun, and there are likely to be things that will happen before and after the funeral. They deliberately came one night earlier, but they still couldn't participate in it in the end.

And, most importantly for both of them now, they finally get to work on the big problem of hunger and thirst!

Harry, should we go back inside and get something to eat? Ron stood at the door and asked Harry who had already walked outside.

I don't think that's a good idea... Harry shook his head decisively, I have money here, and besides, we're in Hogsmeade now!

Right now, the tense nerves of the two of them finally relaxed a little, and the hunger and thirst that had been covered up also occupied their entire minds.

After Ron took the door of the bar behind him, the two rushed to the street impatiently. And in the direction of Hogwarts in the distance, some abnormal fluctuations can be vaguely seen, but it is really far away, and it is impossible to see clearly if you don't look carefully.

After the two hurriedly bought some food and devoured it for a while, they began to think about what to do next. After all, they didn't expect that they would follow a tunnel to Hogsmeade village.

Ron, do you think we have passed the Maca test? Harry stood by the gate of Honeydukes, munching on chocolate, and said vaguely.

I think we've clearly exceeded the time limit... Ron shook his head, swallowed the powdered sugar soft cake in his mouth, but said with a puzzled expression, But I still don't understand—what kind of test is this?

Harry heard this, frowned and thought about it, and couldn't help sighing.

...Maybe, he said reluctantly, we didn't pass the test at all, but when the time came, we were automatically released... that's all.

Although both of them are unwilling to think so, but to be honest, this is probably the most likely answer.

Anyway, if we go to Hogwarts now, we're really going to make trouble for Maca and the professor... Let's go back! Ron resigned, We sneaked away without saying anything last night. Come out, mom must be in a hurry now!

Well, then we...

Harry was about to agree, but he couldn't help but panic in his heart.

He really doesn't want to be so useless anymore, can he just be a burden? Obviously both parents died at the hands of that guy, but he was completely powerless to avenge his parents.

This feeling is really terrible!

No, Harry shook his head violently suddenly, I want to find Hermione!

Looking for Hermione? Ron asked in surprise, What are you looking for?

Even if we can't help today, what if Voldemort is still alive after today? What if Voldemort didn't go to Hogwarts at all today? We can't just wait! Harry took a deep breath and said firmly , The three of us discuss together, what to do next... There must be a clearer plan!

Uh... go now? Ron seemed rather hesitant, But, at home...

We can take Hermione back to the Burrow too, can't we? Harry said stubbornly, I don't think I can wait like this any longer, I can't waste a second!

Okay...if you insist. Ron looked at Harry who was a little restless, but it was difficult to understand where his anxiety came from.

It's not that he doesn't know how Harry's parents died, but hasn't it been like this all these years? And haven't they been working hard all the time? Is it because I have held it in my heart for too long and finally broke out today?

They had all heard Hermione talk about the location of their home. Of course Ron didn't quite understand the geography of the Muggle world, but Harry, who also grew up in the Muggle world, knew how to get there.

Soon, the two ran to the intersection at the end of the village, waved their wands and summoned a knight bus, leaving Hogsmeade village far behind.
