Chapter 631: Fox makes a brilliant debut, Dumbledore’s back-up?
·
Jing Shen Tian Si
The next day, Malfoy Manor.
Before dawn, a flame suddenly ignited in the spacious and magnificent hall, and Fox quietly flew out of the flames.
It didn't make a sound, but carefully grabbed the three wands on the floor with its paws, held Gryffindor's sword in its mouth, and then turned into flames and dissipated.
Fox felt aggrieved. This was the first time in the past hundred years that it had done such a sneaky thing. It was simply unworthy of its status as a phoenix.
But Aaron gave it a death order, and it had to come whether it wanted to or not.
When he appeared again, he was in the dungeon where Harry and others were imprisoned.
Everyone was excited when they saw the phoenix flapping its wings in the bright flames. This was the hope of escape!
Grigovitch almost cried. He had been imprisoned for nearly a year, and now the dark days are finally coming to an end.
Fawkes threw down Gryffindor's sword and three wands, and then landed firmly on the ground.
Harry and Ron hurriedly picked up their swords and their respective wands. As for the white one, they tacitly decided to give it to Luna.
"Safe guard, all protection..." Ron applied a protective spell on the cell door, "It also takes time to activate the door key, so you can try to use the protective spell as much as possible."
"You did it right." Luna praised, "Where's the key?"
"There." Harry pointed at Fawkes, who had a silver-black key tied to his right leg with a thin string.
Harry immediately took off the silver-black key and breathed a sigh of relief.
The other five people gathered in front of Harry and stared at the key in his hand.
"According to the plan, we have to escape in front of Bella." Ron glanced at Fox and said awkwardly: "When will she come over?"
"Wait a minute!" Harry touched his face. The stinging spell had lost its effect and his vision became clearer. "I think she will come here soon."
At the same time, 'Gandalf' carried Hermione downstairs with a backpack and a staff.
"Are we leaving?" Hermione asked anxiously.
"Of course." 'Gandalf' nodded. If he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave. Only by running away before Harry Potter and the others could his own suspicion be minimized.
"But they..."
"Aaron has made arrangements, so we can't stay here."
Hearing this, Hermione's pupils suddenly shrank.
He didn't say anything, he just speeded up silently.
"Sir, are you leaving?" Moens walked over and asked respectfully, "Do you want to stay and have breakfast before leaving?"
"No, we're in a hurry."
Moens raised his eyebrows, and then made a gesture of invitation, "Then I'll see you off. Malfoy Manor is the base of the Death Eaters after all, and you won't encounter any obstruction if I lead the way."
"Thank you."
"this is necessary."
......
Dawn.
Narcissa and Lucius gathered in the living room, and Draco arrived with a suitcase.
"How about you go to school first?" Lucius said, "I asked the owl to deliver a message to Severus last night. He knew you would come and arranged for Hagrid and Filch to pick you up at Hogsmeade Station. you.
With the Dark Mark on your arm, no one without eyesight will stop you along the way. "
"No, at least meet Bella before leaving, otherwise..." Narcissa hesitated, but Lucius and Draco both understood what she meant.
Draco left Malfoy Manor without saying hello, and not long after he left, Harry Potter and the others successfully escaped from prison, so there was some suspicion.
Although the matter itself has nothing to do with him, others may not think so.
After a while, Bellatrix opened the door to the living room and strode in. Behind her was the obedient Peter Pettigrew.
"Where is Draco going?" Bellatrix asked, looking at the suitcase at his feet.
"Hogwarts." Lucius smiled calmly, "Although it would be a waste of time for him to go back to school, it is still necessary to take the seventh-year graduation exam."
"Really?" Bellatrix tapped her chin, "Don't embarrass Sissy, do you understand?"
The corner of Lucius's mouth twitched slightly. What do you mean, don't embarrass Sissy? I don't want to lose face?
Draco forced a stiff smile, picked up the suitcase and walked towards the fireplace.
With a flash of green flames, he left Malfoy Manor through the Floo Network.
"Why did you bring him too?" Narcissa looked at Peter Pettigrew dissatisfied, but she was happy in her heart.
If the situation didn't allow it, she would have wanted to call all the Death Eaters patrolling outside to witness Harry Potter and the others' escape from prison, so that he and Lucius would be safer.
"Wormtail betrayed Potter's parents. He is the person Potter hates the most."
"You should be the one I hate the most!" Lucius said playfully, "Don't forget, Sirius died at your hands."
"Shut up, Lucius." Bellatrix cursed fiercely, "Don't mention him to me, he is the Black family's biggest shame, and I have washed away this humiliation with my own hands.
It must be very interesting to have Potter meet Wormtail before he was killed by the Dark Lord. The expression of resentment, anger, and self-blame would have been very interesting. "
"Okay, let's go to the dungeon!" Narcissa said speechlessly, "The effect of the stinging curse should have passed, and it's time to decide whether he is Potter or not."
The four of them walked towards another door and entered a dark passage.
Peter Pettigrew was at the front, illuminated by a fluorescent spell.
After walking up a steep flight of stairs, they saw the heavy prison door and the scene in the dark dungeon.
The effect of the stinging curse disappeared, and 'Vernon Dudley' revealed his true colors.
"Hahahaha..." Bellatrix laughed maniacally, "Potter, my dear, what else do you have to say this time?
The master will be very excited to see you. Are you ready to meet your death? "
"You may be a little too happy." Ron raised the wand in his hand proudly, not showing the embarrassment of being tortured yesterday. "We will definitely not die here."
"Wand?" Bellatrix was stunned, and then she noticed that Harry, Ron and Luna each had a wand in their hands, which happened to be the ones she checked with the pre-flashback spell yesterday.
"Who gave you the wand?" Bellatrix yelled angrily, and then looked at Lucius with a look of suspicion.
"What are you looking at me for?" Lucius felt guilty, but his face was frowning with dissatisfaction, "My loyalty to the Dark Lord can be learned from time to time.
If I want to betray, wouldn't it be better to just let them go?What's the use of just giving them the wand?
Apparition was not allowed in the dungeon or the entire Malfoy Manor, and there were many Death Eaters patrolling outside, making it impossible for them to escape. "
"Who is that? Someone must have given the wand to them." Bellatrix said coldly, then suddenly thought of something, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "Granger and that old man, it must be them.
Catch Granger quickly. Gaius will definitely obey her if he catches her. "
"They left a long time ago." Lucius said speechlessly, "Someone saw Moens sending them away early in the morning."
Bellatrix was stunned for a moment, "They ran away? Yak betrayed his master?"
"It's so funny. If I don't run away, why are you still waiting for you to catch me?" Ron said angrily.
"Shut up, Weasley." Lucius said coldly, and then looked at Bellatrix, "It's definitely not the two of them, 'Gandalf' will not take Granger to risk.
Besides, there is no reason for Moens to betray the Dark Lord. With his ability and 'Gandalf', he can lead them out. "
"Who could that be? It can't be that the wand has grown legs on its own, right?"
"I'm afraid I have to ask Potter." Narcissa said meaningfully, "They are still in the dungeon, and they can't find any flowers even if they have a wand?"
"Yes, Sissy, you are right." Bellatrix laughed, "Wormtail, bring them out, and I will summon the Dark Lord."
"I advise you to think carefully before summoning him." Luna said with a smile, "If you fail to see Harry after he comes, you will be punished."
"Death struggle." Bellatrix snorted coldly, then opened her sleeves, revealing the Dark Mark on her arm.
"What are you doing standing there, Wormtail?"
"I'll go right away." Peter Pettigrew hurriedly pulled out his wand, but before he could open the cell door, he was interrupted by a crisp chirp.
Accompanied by red flames, Fox hovered in the air, illuminating the dark dungeon.
"That's... Dumbledore's Phoenix?" Lucius looked horrified, "No wonder they were able to get the wand back."
"No, stop them quickly. The phoenix's apparation can leave the dungeon."
Peter Pettigrew immediately pointed his wand at Harry, "Collapse!"
boom!
His spell bounced back to him through a transparent barrier.
"waste!"
Bella cursed and pointed her wand at the cell door.
However, Fox didn't give her a chance to take action and turned into flames and rushed out of the dungeon. Lucius and others hurriedly avoided it.
"Now." Harry shouted, holding the silver-black key in front of him. Ron, Ginny, Dean, Griphook, and Gregorovich all touched it with their fingers.
The movements were smooth and skillful, as if they had been rehearsed thousands of times.
Snapped!
The six people were drawn into a space vortex and disappeared into the dungeon.
Fox also rushed out, turning into fire and dissipating.
Bellatrix let out a sharp roar, and then collapsed on the ground in despair.
She let Harry Potter escape, right under her nose.
"It's over, it's over now." Bellatrix murmured, "Master will not let us go."
"It's not that bad, we haven't summoned the Dark Lord yet." Lucius said with lingering fear.
"Ha! Lucius, when did you become so naive?
Do you think we don’t know if we don’t talk about the master? "
"I'm not trying to hide it from the Dark Lord. What happened this time was indeed our dereliction of duty. This cannot be argued.
But we did everything we had to do, put him in the dungeon, and confirmed his identity. "
"Go and explain to the Dark Lord, do you think he will listen?"
"But if the phoenix appears, our responsibility will not be so heavy."
Hearing this, Bellatrix's slumped eyes flashed with light, "You mean?"
"This is not a guess, this is a fact." Lucius nodded meaningfully, "Dumbledore's Phoenix specifically rescued Harry Potter, using a portkey. This was definitely premeditated.
Think about it, who else but Dumbledore could order that phoenix to do something?
Even though he had been killed by Severus, he must have left something behind before he died.
As long as we report the truth to the Dark Lord, he will understand that we are justified in not locking up Harry Potter. "
The corners of Bellatrix's mouth twitched slightly, and she despised Lucius even more in her heart.
Her brother-in-law was really very thick-skinned. In order to avoid being punished, he actually put most of the responsibility on a dead man.
Moreover, the analysis was so well-founded that she couldn't find any faults.
More importantly, she had to admit that it was the only explanation that could convince the Dark Lord that they had not neglected their duty.
Dumbledore's back-up plan!The Dark Lord is extremely afraid of him. Isn't it normal that they, the Death Eaters, can't play well?
Bellatrix looked at her sister, then set her sights on Lucius, "When the master comes back, you go and explain to him."
"Ah I?"
Lucius's heart skipped a beat.
That's what you say, but you have to take risks when doing it.
Who knows if the Dark Lord will punish them in his anger. The Death Curse may not be the case, but they can't stand other evil curses either!
"Nonsense, if it wasn't you, could it be me?
I don't have as good an eloquence as you. Even if it's for Sissi, you have to stand up. "
Lucius:......
......
Hogwarts, Hall of Gods.
With a loud bang, Harry and others appeared on the steps at the entrance of the hall.
"What is this place?" Luna looked at the palace in front of her in surprise.
The left and right sides of the palace are divided into areas by snake-shaped sculptures. In the middle is a large round altar. A pensieve is placed on the marble base of the round altar. At the front is a majestic wizard statue, with another statue in mid-air. A circular floating island large enough to accommodate a hundred or ten people.
It's majestic, low-key and luxurious, but it has an indescribable warmth.
"Harry." Ron looked at the giant statue of Slytherin in surprise. The image of the basilisk flashed in his mind, "This can't be that place, right?"
"It should be." Harry nodded blankly, "Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, I just don't know how he transformed it into this."
"Time, perseverance, wisdom, and money are all indispensable." Aaron's missing body came over and looked at the six people with a smile, "Welcome to my Shenming Palace.
After the second grade, I opened a secret passage leading to the secret room and continued to improve it. This is how I ended up with the palace you see in front of you. "
"That's amazing." Dean praised, "You've been preparing a secret base since third grade?"
"Of course I'm great." The Missing Body smiled proudly, "It's not that I'm not humble. After you understand the Shenming Palace, you will know how great I am."
Before dawn, a flame suddenly ignited in the spacious and magnificent hall, and Fox quietly flew out of the flames.
It didn't make a sound, but carefully grabbed the three wands on the floor with its paws, held Gryffindor's sword in its mouth, and then turned into flames and dissipated.
