#205 - Chapter 205 The Mysterious Man in Black Robe

Seeing Harry and Cedric disappear in place through the Portkey, the sharp laughter in the forest suddenly became hearty.

"Haha, Delisle, these students are quite obedient. They leave immediately upon hearing the order, without any hesitation."

A tall wizard walked out of the forest and came to Delisle's side: "This group of students did a good job. None of the traps in the basement were triggered."

"They also found all the Dark Magic items. How long has it been?"

Delisle's face no longer had any solemn expression. He said to his partner with a smile: "Just one hour, very efficient. They are all good seedlings."

"Tsk tsk tsk—, that's quite impressive. By the way, which group of students is this?"

"The sixth group, also the last group. No more students will come. Let's put away all these props."

"Seriously, I really want to see the reactions of these children next, but unfortunately, I'm born to be a busybody and can only play a small supporting role here. Aren't you curious, Delisle?"

"Not curious. Do our job properly. Stop being so frivolous and hurry up and clean up."

........................

On the other side, Harry and Cedric's hearts were all in their throats.

Something happened!

The Portkey was fake. The two didn't know where they had been taken.

Is this a trap?

Looking at it this way, that Auror just now......

"Harry, don't think so much. Let's use this Portkey to return to the forest before."

Saying that, Cedric grabbed Harry and quickly reached for the old cup.

To their dismay, no matter how they touched it, the two of them remained in place, and the old cup in front of them did not react at all.

"Damn, the Portkey has been switched. This is a one-time Portkey." Cedric's expression was grave, "The previous old cup had a notch on it. This is not the same one."

"That Auror definitely has a problem," Harry carefully looked around, "Remember those letters we just found?"

"I suspect that those letters contain crucial evidence."

Letters?

Now that it was mentioned, Cedric also remembered.

Just now, the two of them did find a few letters, but before they had time to read them, they were attacked by the Dark Wizard.

Cedric carefully recalled that when the two of them took the letters to the open space outside the door, the Auror named Delisle's face changed.

They didn't think so much at the time, but now that they recalled it, there were suspicious points everywhere.

"You're right, Harry. We were attacked as soon as we took out the letters."

"Perhaps, that wasn't an attack, just acting. Otherwise, how could the other party have watched us use the Portkey without any intention of stopping us."

"No wonder the Dark Wizard escaped," Harry said, gnashing his teeth, "It turns out they are all in the same group. With an Auror tipping them off in advance, they can escape however they want."

"Those letters must be the evidence of their communication."

Clap—clap—clap—

Accompanied by a burst of applause, a wizard cloaked in black robes and wearing a mask walked out.

"Wonderful reasoning, I can't help but applaud you."

"That Portkey was just a kind of insurance. I didn't expect it to be used on you two little guys."

"There's no way around it, who told you to discover something you shouldn't have."

"Who are you!" Cedric and Harry were shocked and quickly raised their wands at the person.

What's going on?

Neither of them noticed that a wizard had been hiding not far away.

Harry's face was a little ugly.

If the other party had launched a sneak attack just now......

Perhaps, the other party was very confident in their strength and didn't need to sneak attack at all.

"Show your true face!" Cedric shouted sternly.

"Hahahaha, true face?" The black-robed man laughed nervously, "What's the use of seeing the true face? You won't remember anything anyway."

Saying that, he suddenly raised his wand and fired a red curse at Cedric.

The light of the Shield Charm flashed, blocking the incoming curse.

"Tch, Shield Charm, the kid is quite careful."

"However, that's not enough. If I had used the Killing Curse just now, your little life would have been left here."

Seeing that the person dared to attack, Cedric and Harry were shocked and angry, and quickly raised their wands to fight back.

"Little ones, don't resist. I won't kill you, I'll just modify your memories today and let you forget some things."

"My Memory Charm is very good, much stronger than my Auror partner. I guarantee you won't notice any problems."

Harry and Cedric didn't respond, they just sped up the speed of their wand movements.

Curses rained down like a storm, venting towards the black-robed man.

However, the other party's strength was unexpectedly high. Harry and the two of them used all their skills and could not cause the other party any trouble.

"The intensity of this Stupefy is not bad, but the movement of waving the wand is a bit too big, otherwise it could really bring me some trouble."

"The Disarming Charm is also good, fast and accurate, but the connection to the next curse is a bit slow."

"Faster, faster, this can't bring me any pressure at all, hahahaha."

Listening to the black-robed man's ridicule, Harry was extremely anxious.

The difference in strength was too great, he had to think of something.

Taking advantage of Cedric's attack, Harry casually took out a Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder and slammed it heavily on the ground.

In an instant, thick black fog rose, enveloping the three of them.

Harry moved very quickly. The moment the smoke rose, he took out the Hand of Glory and lit a candle.

"Cedric, it's me, don't be nervous." Harry grabbed Cedric, and immediately both of them could see everything in the smoke.

"We must find a way to leave here," Harry said softly, "Do you know how to Apparate?"

"No," Cedric shook his head and said in a suppressed voice, "That's a spell that only upperclassmen can learn."

"Why don't we take advantage of the fact that the other party can't see us and launch a sneak attack to see if we can knock him down."

"You sneak attack first, help me buy some time," Harry said quickly, "I'll use the two-way mirror to contact Professor Swan now and have him come and save us."

Just then, the black-robed man's voice sounded.

"Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder is not a panacea. All it takes is a wide-range Transfiguration spell to deal with it."

Suddenly, the weeds in the fog began to grow wildly, turning into ropes, and before Harry and Cedric could react, they were all tied up.

Gradually, the black fog dissipated, and the black-robed man swaggered to the two of them. In the angry gazes of the two, he gently took off the mask on his face.

Harry and Cedric's gazes froze, and their whole bodies became sluggish.

What's going on?

The black-robed man was actually Professor Swan!
