Chapter 349 349. The Battle of Little Hangleton Village

After the class that morning, Scott and Eddie met up and came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest through the back garden of the castle.

This time they did not swagger, but took a detour to a place where it was not easy to be seen.

"I wonder if the professor and the others have found anything about the guy who fought with the centaur last night." Eddie said while curiously staring at the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

After Scott returned to the dormitory last night, Eddie also took the panoramic telescope that "photographed" the battle scene and looked for a long time, but they still could not figure out the identity of the wizard who attacked the centaur.

"The two things may be related." Scott walked into the Forbidden Forest, "but we can't know it now."

Eddie asked, "Do you mean the battle in the Forbidden Forest last night and what happened in Little Hangleton?"

"Yes." Scott said, "Of course, it may just be a coincidence."

"I don't think there are so many coincidences. Although this is the Forbidden Forest, it also belongs to Hogwarts." Eddie said.

Scott understood what he meant. This place belongs to Hogwarts. If it is not a special situation, no other wizard would dare to come here.

"It's here." Scott stopped not far away.

He had no idea of ​​going deep into the Forbidden Forest.

After all, there was a battle in the Forbidden Forest last night, and those centaurs might still be under martial law.

He reached out and took out his wand and waved it, "Flocks of birds."

A few crows came out from the tip of the wand in his hand, flapping their wings and chirping a few times.

"Just wait here next." Scott said to Eddie.

Not long after, the dense flapping of wings sounded, and a dark flock of crows flew over from all directions in the forest.

Eddie looked at this scene in surprise, "Oh, I never knew there were so many crows living in the Forbidden Forest, how did you do it?"

"Ga..."

With an especially loud cry, Rimbaud fell from the sky and landed on Scott's shoulder.

Scott reached out and touched Rimbaud's wings, and said to Eddie with a smile: "If you can become friends with the Raven King, you can do it too."

Eddie stared at Rimbaud for a long time, "It seems that you have hidden a lot of secrets."

Scott just smiled and didn't explain.

As a qualified Ravenclaw, Eddie was also very sensible and didn't delve into it.

"Where are our panoramic telescopes?" He looked around, "Have those eagles not come back yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rimbaud, who was standing on Scott's shoulder, called out again.

Soon, several crows holding panoramic telescopes in their claws flew out from the crow flock and placed the panoramic telescopes on the ground in front of Scott and Eddie.

"Where are the eagles?"

Although Eddie asked, he actually didn't care about the whereabouts of the eagles. He couldn't wait to pick up a panoramic telescope and start looking.

"Oh, this is from this morning, in the morning..." The fingers of his hands kept turning the dial quickly.

Scott squatted down and put all the panoramic telescopes back into the deformed lizard skin bag.

"Let's go." He stood up and patted Eddie's shoulder, "We'd better not stay here any longer."

"Well, I haven't found the picture we want to see yet." Eddie shrugged.

He handed the panoramic telescope in his hand to Scott, and Scott put it away.

"Let's go to Fred and George's studio first and see if we can find what we want before the afternoon class."

Scott turned and walked out of the forbidden forest.

"If not... I need to attend the Transfiguration Club tonight, and I need you to find all the pictures we need and organize the information first."

"No problem." Eddie was very excited.

Scott nodded, "This is a troublesome matter..."

"I don't think it's a troublesome matter." Eddie interrupted him, "I can't wait to see what happened."

The two walked quickly through the garden into the castle and came to the corridor on the third floor.

"Separate left and right."

Eddie tapped the statue of the one-eyed hunchback witch with his wand.

"They are all having lunch now." He said, "We can go to the studio to look for inventory."

The statue cracked, Eddie ducked in, and Scott followed closely.

The two sat on the slide and slid down quickly.

"Except for the wizards who experienced it last night, we may be the first to know about it!" Eddie's voice was still excited.

When the slide reached the bottom, he couldn't wait to stand up, lit up the illumination spell and rushed into the studio.

When Scott walked into the studio, he had already lit all the candles and found a few packets of biscuits from the old desk.

"Are you sure these biscuits are edible?" Scott raised his eyebrows. "These are Fred and George's stuff. Who knows what they added to them?"

"You're right." Eddie's hand holding the biscuits was a little stiff.

He rubbed his stomach, but finally didn't dare to try.

Scott sat down, took out the deformed lizard skin bag from his waist, and took out all the panoramic telescopes.

"Don't worry." He said to Eddie, who hurriedly picked up the panoramic telescope, "I still have some food here."

During the Christmas holiday, Emilia prepared a large bag of snacks for him. When he left, he stuffed them into the deformed lizard skin bag and then forgot about it.

He dug a few times in the deformed lizard skin bag, and a bunch of colorful snacks appeared on the table.

"Oh!" Eddie's eyes lit up, picked up a bag of potato chips, opened the bag, grabbed the potato chips and stuffed them into his mouth.

"I haven't eaten these things for a long time. I really miss them." He said vaguely.

Scott handed him another can of Coke, and Eddie was immediately happier.

"I love Coke! I love potato chips!" Eddie cheered.

Scott picked up a panoramic telescope and placed it in front of his eyes, turning the dial with one hand.

The picture he saw quickly retreated, from day to night.

Scott then discovered that the eagles returned to the forbidden forest before dawn in the morning.

At the same time, he also discovered a flaw in the setting.

The eagles lost their ability to move after completing the set task.

They threw the panoramic telescope on the ground where they first grabbed the telescopes, and they were indifferent even if the telescopes were taken away by Rambo and the crows.

Fortunately, Scott asked Rambo and the crows to guard the lake, otherwise he might not be able to get the telescopes back.

Scott silently remembered this mistake.

As his fingers kept turning, the picture in front of him continued to accelerate and retreat until he saw the familiar village of Little Hangleton.

This is a perspective fixed on the side of the old house of Gunter, overlooking the dilapidated yard of the old house.

Scott's finger continued to speed up, and characters appeared in the picture, but his action did not stop, and he kept moving the picture to the scene where the eagle with the panoramic telescope put the telescope on the tree.

Then Scott changed the operation, so that the picture would not return, but play forward, and speed up the playback speed.

He slowed down the picture again until the first figure appeared in the picture.

"It appeared! The green-robed man! And the witch! Oh! This is..."

At the same time, he heard Eddie's exclamation.

Scott looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in the picture in front of him.

Although the light in the picture was dim, the green robe on the figure could still be vaguely judged.

This green-robed man came to the yard of the old house of Gunter through Apparition. He walked around the three dilapidated houses and walked into the house again, as if checking something.

Not long after, he appeared in the yard again and waved to the sky.

Soon, more green-robed people appeared.

They rode on the Thestrals, guarding a gorgeous carriage pulled by four Thestrals that fell from the sky and parked inside and outside the small courtyard.

The two magic lights hanging on the carriage illuminated the courtyard.

The green-robed man who appeared first trotted to the side of the carriage and bowed and invited.

The door of the carriage opened, and a hand wrapped in a black lace glove stretched out.

The green-robed man who was bending over quickly stretched out his arm to let the hand take advantage.

Medea walked out of the carriage gracefully.

She wore a dark green robe with silver thread decoration, a black hat with black tulips and black lace on her head, and a hazy black veil covering her face, revealing her straight nose and sharp chin.

The bloody red lips on the snow-white lower half of her face were the only bright color on her body.

She seemed to say something with her red lips slightly opened, but it was a pity that the panoramic telescope could not record the sound.

Scott moved his fingers to speed up the playback of the picture.

Medea soon walked into the house, followed by several green-robed men, and disappeared from the screen.

The other green-robed men settled all the Thestrals and dispersed to guard inside and outside the old house.

Under Scott's operation, the picture fast-forwarded again.

Not long after, a blood-red light shone through the gaps in the doors and windows of the dilapidated house and reflected on the surrounding ground.

Scott slowed down the screen again.

The red light first became bright, and then seemed to flash at a certain frequency, like blood spilled on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Scott frowned.

Medea seemed to have started a sacrificial ceremony in the house.

However, this old house could not have enough magic power to supply her to complete the sacrificial ceremony...

Unless she still had a disposable magic stone in her hand.

But Scott soon had no time to think about it, because the battle began.

The light of the spell surged from all directions, and a group of Aurors from the Ministry of Magic suddenly appeared and fought with the green-robed men guarding inside and outside the yard.

Although the number of green-robed people was superior, they were no match for the elite Aurors in the battle, and several of them fell soon.

Seeing that the Aurors were about to rush into the yard, three green-robed people came out of the house.

The three green-robed people took action directly, showing extraordinary magical attainments, pushing the Aurors back, and even injuring several Aurors.

The two sides entered a stalemate.

The Aurors could not break into the old house, and the green-robed people could not completely repel the Aurors.

During this process, Medea never appeared, and the blood-red light from the house was still flashing.

At this time, Scott heard Eddie's exclamation again.

"Oh, a fight has started! How could it be an Auror? Where is the demon king? Oh, dangerous!" He began to chatter, "Wonderful! It's almost taken down, oh! A more powerful green-robed person has appeared, too dangerous..."

And the picture in front of Scott has changed.

With a flash of light of apparition, a team of black-robed people appeared on the other side of the yard.

As soon as they appeared, it was a battle of dark wizards, with green light flying everywhere and killing curses flying out from their wands, attacking the green-robed man and the Auror respectively.

"The Death Eaters have appeared!" Eddie seemed to have seen this scene from another angle.

At this moment, the dilapidated wall of the yard suddenly moved.

The incomplete wall twisted and became a whole, and finally turned into an extremely terrifying giant python.

The giant python used its body to block all the death curses while crawling.

Dumbledore raised his wand and walked out of the darkness.

The moment he appeared, the Aurors immediately smiled, and all the green-robed men and death eaters couldn't help but take a step back.

This is the deterrent power of the greatest wizard of this century.

Scott looked at this scene and sighed in his heart.

Although the green-robed men and death eaters showed fear of Dumbledore, none of them fled immediately.

Dumbledore raised his wand and started again.

The giant python transformed from the wall quickly recovered from the body broken by the death curse and set out again.

The snake's head moved toward the Death Eaters, and its tail whipped toward the crumbling house that was always emitting red light.

The Aurors also started to attack again, casting spells at the Death Eaters and the green-robed men.

Under the attack led by Dumbledore, several Death Eaters and black-robed men fell quickly.

The remaining green-robed men began to defend the house with defensive spells, while the remaining Death Eaters began to retreat while fighting.

Dumbledore's long silver beard fluttered, and one after another overwhelming spells were spit out from the wand in his hand.

The power of those spells was so amazing that it was almost impossible to recognize what spells he used.

On this battlefield, he was like a plug-in user who could change ordinary single-target attacks into powerful group attacks, suppressing everyone so that they could not raise their heads.

More and more Death Eaters and green-robed men fell.

If Dumbledore had not been unwilling to kill people, these people would not just fall down.

At this moment, the bloody light in the house completely disappeared, and Medea also walked out of the house and said something.

Dumbledore stopped what he was doing.

Outside the courtyard, the remaining Death Eaters were obviously panicked, and they took this opportunity to cast the Apparition Charm and ran away.

Dumbledore ignored them and walked into the courtyard alone.

The Aurors also took action, caught the green-robed men and Death Eaters who fell to the ground, and confiscated their wands.

Dumbledore and Medea began to talk.

Because there was no sound, Scott could not judge what they said specifically.

But not long after, they seemed to have broken down and then started fighting.

Dumbledore once again showed his overwhelming strength, and even Medea was only barely holding on with the help of several green-robed men.

At this moment, Dumbledore suddenly changed his target, and a spell broke a wall of the house, revealing a figure in the house.
