Chapter 205 The mysterious man in black robe
The sharp laughter in the forest suddenly became hearty as Harry and Cedric disappeared on the spot via the Portkey.
"Haha, Dalish, these students are very obedient. They leave immediately after hearing the order, without any delay."
A tall wizard walked out of the woods and came to Dalish's side: "This group of students did a good job just now. None of the traps in the basement were triggered."
"You've found quite a lot of dark magic items. How long has it been?"
There was no trace of solemnity on Dalish's face anymore. He smiled and said to his partner, "In the past hour, the efficiency was very high. They are all good seedlings."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk--, that's pretty impressive. By the way, which group of students are these?"
"This is the sixth and final group. No more students will come. Put all these props away."
"To be honest, I really want to see how these kids will react next. It's a pity that I was born to work hard and can only play a small supporting role here. Aren't you curious, Dawlish?"
"Don't be curious, just do our part, stop being so frivolous, and clean up quickly."
........................
On the other side, Harry and Cedric were both worried.
problem occurs!
The door key was fake and the two people were taken to an unknown place.
Is this a trap?
It seems that the Auror just now...
"Harry, don't think too much. Let's use this portkey to return to the woods we were in before."
As he spoke, Cedric grabbed Harry and quickly reached for the old water cup.
What dumbfounded them was that no matter how they touched, the two people remained where they were, and the old water cup in front of them did not react at all.
"It's broken. The key has been swapped. This is a disposable key." Cedric said solemnly, "The old cup has a chip on it. It's not the same as this old cup."
"There's definitely something wrong with that Auror," Harry looked around carefully, "Remember those letters we just found?"
"I suspect that those letters contain crucial evidence."
letter?
Cedric also remembered.
The two of them did find a few letters just now, but before they had time to read them, they were attacked by the dark wizard.
Cedric thought about it carefully and found that when the two of them took the letter to the open space outside the door, the Auror named Dawlish's face changed.
I didn’t think too much about it at the time, but now when I think back on it, I’m filled with doubts.
"You're quite right, Harry, we had barely taken the letter out when we were attacked."
"Perhaps, it wasn't an attack, but just an act. Otherwise, why would the other party watch us use the portkey without any intention of stopping us?"
"No wonder the dark wizards escaped," Harry said gritting his teeth, "It turns out they are all in the same group. With the Aurors tipping them off in advance, they can escape however they want."
"Those letters must be evidence of communication between them."
pop - pop - pop -
Accompanied by applause, a wizard covered in a black robe and wearing a mask walked out.
"It's a brilliant deduction. I can't help but applaud you."
"That portkey was just a safety measure. I didn't expect it to be used on you two little guys."
"I can't help it. It's your fault for discovering something you shouldn't have discovered."
"Who is it!" Cedric and Harry were startled and quickly raised their wands at the person who came.
what happened?
Neither of them noticed that there was a wizard hiding not far away.
Harry's face looked a little grim.
If the opponent had attacked just now...
Perhaps, the opponent is very confident in his own strength and there is no need for a sneak attack.
"Show your true colors!" Cedric shouted.
“Hahahaha, the real face?” The black-robed man laughed nervously, “What’s the point of seeing the real face? You won’t remember anything anyway.”
As he spoke, he raised his wand and cast a spell with a glowing red color at Cedric.
The light of the Iron Armor Spell flashed, blocking the incoming spell.
"Tsk, Armor Spell, the kid is pretty careful."
"But this is not enough. If I had used the Killing Curse just now, you would have lost your life here."
Seeing that the newcomer dared to attack, Cedric and Harry were shocked and angry, and quickly raised their wands to fight back.
"Children, don't resist. I won't kill you. I will just modify your memory of today so that you forget some things."
"My memory charm is very good, much stronger than my fellow Aurors, and I guarantee you won't be aware of any problems."
Harry and Cedric made no response, but simply waved their wands faster.
Spells were cast down on the man in black robe like a rainstorm.
However, the opponent's strength was unexpectedly strong, and Harry and his companions could not cause any trouble to the opponent even with all their efforts.
"This Stunning Spell is quite powerful, but the movement of waving the wand is a bit big, otherwise it could really cause me some trouble."
"The Disarming Spell is not bad either, fast and accurate, but the connection to the next spell is a little slow."
"Faster, faster, this won't bring me any pressure at all, hahahaha."
Listening to the ridicule of the man in black robe, Harry became extremely anxious.
The gap in strength is too great, we must think of a way.
Taking advantage of Cedric's attack, Harry pulled out a Peruvian invisible smoke bomb and threw it heavily to the ground.
In an instant, thick black fog rose and enveloped all three of them.
Harry moved quickly, and as soon as 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 suddenly both of them could see everything clearly in the smoke.
"We have to find a way to get out of here," Harry whispered. "Can you Apparate?"
"No," Cedric shook his head and said in a low voice, "That's a spell that only seniors can learn."
"Why don't we make a sneak attack while he's not looking and see if we can knock him down."
"You attack first to buy me some time," Harry said quickly, "I will use the two-way mirror to contact Professor Swan and ask him to come and rescue us."
Just then, the voice of the man in black robe sounded.
"The Peruvian smoke bomb is not a panacea. To deal with it, you only need a large-scale Transfiguration."
Suddenly, the weeds in the mist began to grow wildly and turned into ropes, tying up Harry and Cedric before they could react.
Gradually, the black fog dissipated, and the man in black robe walked up to the two men with a swagger. Under their angry gazes, he gently took off the mask on his face.
Harry and Cedric stared at each other, and became stunned.
what happened?
The man in black robe turned out to be Professor Swan!
