HP meets at Hogwarts

Suddenly dark shapes loomed around them, blocking their way on either side; the eyes of these men gleamed in the slits of their hoods, and twelve shiny-tipped wands were aimed at their hearts; Ginny held her breath in terror. took a breath. . "Here, Potter," Malfoy Lucius repeated slowly, holding out his hand, palm up.Harry's heart sank suddenly.They were surrounded, and there were twice their numbers on the other side. "Give it to me," Malfoy said again. "Where's Sirius?" Harry asked.Several of the Death Eaters laughed; among the dark figures to Harry's left, a shrill female voice said triumphantly, "The Dark Lord is always a master!"

"Always," echoed Malfoy in a low voice, "now, give me the prophecy ball, Potter." "I want to know where Sirius is!" "I want to know where Sirius is!" Harry's left The woman parroted it.

-515?She and her fellow Death Eaters moved closer, within a few feet of Harry and the others, dazzled by the light from their wands.

"You took him," said Harry.He ignored the panic rising inside him, the fear he'd been trying to dispel since their first steps into row 97. "Here he is. I know he is."

"Little baby was woken up by ha (scared), and thought the dream was real." The woman said disgustingly in a baby-like voice.Harry noticed Ron move beside him. "Don't do anything," Harry muttered. "Not yet—" The woman who imitated him laughed hoarsely. "Did you hear that? Did you hear that? He was giving orders to the other kids, as if he was going to attack us!" "Oh, you don't know Potter as well as I do, Bellatrix." Malfoy Softly, "He has a great weakness for heroism; the Dark Lord knows that. Give me the Prophecy Ball now, Potter." "I know Sirius is here." Harry said. Said, even though the flustered emotion made his chest tight and made him feel like he couldn't breathe normally, "I know, you got him!"

More Death Eaters laughed, and the woman laughed the loudest.

"It's about time you understood the difference between reality and dreams, Potter," Malfoy said. "Give me the Prophecy Ball, or we'll have to use wands."

"Okay, come on then." Harry said, raising his wand to his chest, and at the same time, the five wands of Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny and Luna were also raised on either side of him .Harry's heart tightened.If Sirius really isn't here, is he leading his friends to senseless deaths? ?But the Death Eaters didn't attack.

"Hand over the prophecy ball, there is no need to hurt people." Malfoy said coldly.

This time it was Harry's turn to laugh.

"Yeah, that's right!" he said. "I'll give you this—the prophecy ball, right? And then you'll let us sneak home, right?" As soon as he said that, the woman died The gangster screamed: "The prophecy ball flies—" Harry was on guard against her: before she could finish the spell, Harry shouted: "Armor protection!" Although the glass ball slipped on his finger on the tip, but he managed to grab it. "Why, he's pretty good at it, little Potter," she said, her furious eyes staring hard through the slits of her hood. "Very well, then—" "I told you. Don't do that!" Malflusius yelled at the woman, "If you break it—!"

Harry thought quickly.These Death Eaters want this dirty glass globe.He is not interested in this.All he wanted was to get everyone out alive and make sure his friends didn't pay dearly for their stupidity? ? -516?The woman stepped away from her accomplice, came over, and tore off her hood.Azkaban made Bellatrix.Lestrange had sunken cheeks, looked haggard and bony, but exuded excitement and enthusiasm.

"Do I need to persuade you more?" she said, her chest heaving violently. "That's good, grab the youngest one," she told the Death Eater nearby, "and show him how we tortured this little girl. I'll do it."

Harry felt the others closing in on Ginny; he took a step to the side, standing just in front of Ginny and blocking her, holding the Prophecy Ball to his chest.

"If you want to deal with any of us, you'll have to break this," he said to Bellatrix. "I don't think your master will be very happy if you don't take it back with you. Yes or no?"

She didn't move, just stared at Harry, and licked her thin lips with the tip of her tongue.

"So," said Harry, "what kind of prophecy is this anyway?"

He couldn't figure out what to do, so he kept talking.Neville's arms were pressed against his, and he could feel Neville shaking, and he could feel someone breathing heavily into the back of his head.He hoped they were all actively trying to figure out how to get out, because his mind was blank.

"What kind of prophecy?" Bellatrix repeated, the grin fading from her face. "You're kidding, Harry Potter."

"No, I'm not kidding," Harry said, looking from one Death Eater to another, looking for a weak link, a gap through which they could escape, "Why did Voldemort want it?"

Several Death Eaters let out low hisses of dissatisfaction.

"You dare to call him by his first name?" Bellatrix whispered.

"Of course," said Harry, still holding on to the glass ball, in case someone magically snatched it away, "yes, I have no problem saying the name, v—"

"Shut up!" screamed Bellatrix, "how dare you utter his name from your vile mouth, how dare you defile it with your bastard tongue, how dare you—"

"Did you know he was a bastard too?" Harry said without hesitation.Hermione whispered in his ear. "Voldemort? His mother was a wizard, of course, but his father was a Muggle—did he keep telling you he was purebred?"

"Swoon-"

"No!"

A jet of red light shot from the tip of Bellatrix Lestrange's wand, but Malfoy's spell deflected it, hitting some glass orbs on a shelf a foot to Harry's left. Was smashed to pieces.

Two phantom, pearly-white, floating figures stretched out from the shards of glass that fell to the floor and spoke.Their voices rose and fell, at Malfoy and Bellatrix's -517?Among the shouts, only a few words can be heard.

"?? At the solstice a new ??" said an elderly figure with a beard.

"Don't attack, we need the prophecy ball!"

"How dare he—how dare he—" Bellatrix screamed incoherently, "he stood there—filthy bastard—"

"Wait until we get the Prophecy Orb!" Malfoy yelled.

"?? No one will come after that??" said the figure of the young woman.

The two figures emerging from the shattered glass ball melted into a thin gas and disappeared without a trace, leaving only the glass shards on the floor.However, they gave Harry an idea.The problem is how to tell others what he thinks.

"Ask me to give you the ball, and you haven't told me what's so special about this prophecy," said Harry, stalling for time.He moved his foot slowly to one side, trying to reach the other person's feet.

"Don't play tricks on us, Potter," said Malfoy.

"I'm not playing tricks," replied Harry, moving his foot as he talked to them.Then he felt someone's toes and stepped on them.There was a thin gasp behind him, and he realized he had stepped on Hermione's foot. "What's wrong?" Hermione asked quietly. "Dumbledore never told you that the reason for your scar is hidden in the Department of Mysteries?" Malfoy sneered. "I - what?" said Harry, asking for a moment, completely forgetting his plan, "what's wrong with my scar?" "What's wrong?" whispered Hermione again behind her, her tone more urgent than before .

"How is that possible?" Malfoy said gleefully; the Death Eaters laughed again, and Harry moved his lips as little as he could under the cover of the laughter, gritting his teeth to say yes. Hermione said, "Smash the shelves—"

"Dumbledore never told you?" Malfoy repeated. "Then that would explain why you didn't come here sooner, Potter, and the Dark Lord wonders why—"

"—When I say start—"

"—why didn't you come running when he told you in the dream where it was hiding. He thought that instinctive curiosity would make you eager to hear the exact information??"

"Really?" said Harry.Behind him, Hermione felt rather than heard Hermione passing his words on to the others.He had to find a way to keep the conversation going and distract the Death Eaters. "So he wants me to get that orb, right? Why?"

"Why?" said Malfoy happily, "because only the man mentioned in the prophecy, Potter, has the right to get it from the Department of Mysteries, which the Dark Lord found out when he used someone else to steal the prophecy orb for him. .”

"Then why would he want to steal the reservation about me?"

"About the two of you, Potter, about the two of you?? Didn't it ever occur to you why the Dark Lord wanted to kill you when you were a baby?"

Through the hole in Malfoy's hood, Harry stared into his looming gray eyes.Is this prophecy the reason Harry's parents died?Is that why he wears his lightning-shaped scar?Are the answers to all of these held in your own hands? "Someone made the same prophecy for me and Voldemort?" he said softly, staring intently at Lucius Malfoy, clutching the warm glass ball tightly.It's barely bigger than a Snitch, and it's still dusty. "He asked me to fetch this prophecy ball for him? Why doesn't he fetch it himself?"

"He's coming to get it himself?" Bellatrix shrieked with a maniacal laugh. "The Return of the Dark Lord has been completely ignored and he's going to walk into the Ministry of Magic at a time like this? Now they're wasting time asking Looking for my dear cousin, the Dark Lord will expose himself to the Aurors?"

"So he sent you guys to do this dirty work for him, didn't he?" said Harry, "like he wanted Sturgis to steal the prophecy ball - and Bird?"

"That's right, Potter, that's right??" Malfoy said slowly, "But the Dark Lord knows you're not stupid enough to—"

"Go!" Harry yelled.

Five different voices yelled behind him: "Bones shattered!" Five spells flew in five different directions, the oncoming shelf exploded after being hit, the towering shelf wobbled, hundreds of glass balls shattered, Pearly white figures floated in the air, their voices echoing through the never-before-seen torrential rain of broken glass and wood chips on the floor—"Run!" Many glass balls started falling from above.He grabbed Hermione's robes and dragged them forward, his other arm covering his head, as chunks of broken shelves and tiny shards of glass rumbled down on them.A Death Eater darted forward through the dust cloud, and Harry elbowed him hard into his masked face; the cries of pain, the crash of shelves collapsing and crackling, the sounds released from the glass sphere. There was an odd burst of staccato voices from the prophets—Harry saw nothing in the way ahead, and saw Ron, Ginny, and Luna sprint past him with their arms over their heads; Something hit him hard sideways in the face, but he just jerked his head down and rushed forward; suddenly a hand grabbed his shoulder, and he heard Hermione yell, "Swoon Land!" The hand was released immediately - they were at the other end of row 97; Harry turned to the right and started running at full speed; he could hear footsteps behind him and Hermione's voice urging Neville; Straight ahead, a door was ajar through which they had entered, and Harry could see the glint of the bell-glass; Closed, the prophecy ball still intact in his hand - -519? "Quickly imprison!" Hermione muttered out of breath, and the door closed with a strange creaking sound.

"Where are they—where are they?" Harry asked breathlessly.

He thought Ron, Luna, and Ginny were running ahead of them and would be waiting for them in this room, but there was no one here.

"They must be going the wrong way!" whispered Hermione with a look of panic on her face.

"Listen!" Neville whispered.

There were clattering footsteps and loud shouts from behind the newly closed door; Harry put his ear to it and heard Malflusius yelling, "Leave Knott alone, leave him alone, I say— To the Dark Lord, his injury is nothing compared to the loss of the orb. Gargson, come back here, we need to organize! Team up and search in pairs, remember, after getting the orb Don't be rude to Bo before, everyone else can be killed if you want - Bellatrix, Rudolph, you go to the left; Crabbe, Rabstein, go to the right - Gargson, Do Lokhov, go to the front door—McNeill, and Avery here—Rookwood, go over there—Mulciber, come with me!"

"What should we do?" Hermione asked Harry, shaking all over.

"Well, we can't just stay here and wait for them to find us," said Harry. "First, get out of this door."

Passing as lightly as they could past the shimmering bell-glass in which the tiny eggs hatched the birds, they ran to the other end of the room where the door opened into the circular hall.When they were almost there, Harry heard something huge and heavy banging against the door that Hermione had just charmed shut.

"Get out of the way!" A voice yelled violently, "Alahoo hole!"

The door flung open, and Harry, Hermione, and Neville ducked under the table.They could see the hems of the robes of the two Death Eaters getting closer on the floor, and they were walking quickly.

"They may have run straight into the hall," said the gruff voice.

"Check under the table," said another.

Harry saw their knees buckle, and he stuck his wand under the table and yelled, "Swoon!"

A red light hit the nearest Death Eater, who fell backwards into a grandfather clock, knocking it over; but the other Death Eater jumped aside to dodge Harry's spell, and he used He pointed his wand at Hermione who was crawling out from under the table in order to get a better aim.

"Avada—"

Harry jumped across the floor, throwing his whole body around his knees, knocking him over, his wand missing.In a hurry to help, Neville knocked over the table; frantically, he pointed his wand at the two wrestling people and shouted, "Disarm!"

The wands of Harry and the Death Eaters were thrown out of their hands immediately, and flew towards the entrance leading to the hall of prophecy; -520?They both scrambled to their feet and ran after their wands, the Death Eater at the front and Harry at the rear.Neville froze behind, obviously stunned by what he had just done.

"Get out of the way, Harry!" Neville yelled again, obviously trying to make up for his mistakes.

Harry stepped aside quickly as he took aim and mouthed the spell again.

"Passed out!"

The red light passed over the Death Eater's shoulder and hit a closet with a glass front door on a wall covered with various hourglasses.The closet fell to the floor, shattered, glass flew everywhere, then bounced back to the wall, intact, then fell again, shattered - the Death Eater's wand lying on the gleaming On the floor next to the bell jar, he snatched it up.When he turned, Harry crouched quickly behind another table; his visor slid down over his eyes.So he tore off the mask with his free hand, yelling, "Dizzy—"

"Damn!" Hermione yelled at the top of her lungs after she had caught up with them.A flash of red light struck the Death Eater's chest: he froze, arms still raised, his wand fell to the ground with a clatter, and fell on his back towards the glass bell behind him.Harry thought he would bang against the solid glass and slide down the glass bell to the floor.However, his head sank through the glass bell as if it were nothing but a soap bubble, and then he became motionless, sprawled on the table, his head sunk in the flashing bell. In glass.

"Wand coming!" cried Hermione, as Harry's wand flew into her hand from a dark corner, and she tossed it to Harry. "Thanks," said Harry, "well, let's get out of here—" "Be careful!" said Neville, horrified, staring at the Death Eater with his head in the glass bell.The three raised their wands again, but none of them struck: they all stared, with their mouths open, watching the change in the head with horror.It was shrinking rapidly, becoming more and more bald, the black hair and beard stubble retracted into its head, its cheeks smoothed, its head round and covered with down? ?As the Death Eater struggled to regain his feet, a baby's head grew eerily out of his thick, muscular neck; The previous size, thick black hair growing back from the top of the head and chin? ? "It's time," said Hermione in a frightened voice, "Time??"

The Death Eater shook his ugly head again, trying to regain consciousness, but before he could pull himself together, his head began to shrink back to babyhood again? ?There was a yell from a nearby house, followed by a bump and a scream.

"Ron?" Harry called, turning instantly from the strange scene in front of him. "Ginny? Luna?"

"Harry!" Hermione screamed.

The Death Eater had pulled his head out of the bell jar, and he looked so weird, that little -521?The baby's head was yelling loudly, and its thick arms were waving around dangerously, almost hitting Harry, who had lowered his head to avoid it.Harry raised his wand, but to his surprise, Hermione grabbed his arm.

"You can't hurt a baby!"

There was no time to argue about it; Harry heard more footsteps coming from the Hall of Prophecy, getting louder, and he realized he shouldn't have given away their position by shouting so loudly, but it had too late.

"Come here!" He called out.The door at the other end of the room was open, leading into the dark hallway, toward which they rushed, leaving the wobbly Death Eater with the ugly baby's head behind.

They were halfway there when Harry saw through the open door two other Death Eaters running toward them through the black room; Office, slammed the door shut behind them.

"Quickly—" Hermione began, but before she could finish the spell, the door burst open and the two Death Eaters rushed in.

Accompanied by cheers of victory, both of them shouted: "There are many obstacles!"

Harry, Hermione, and Neville were all sent flying; Neville was thrown behind a desk and disappeared; Hermione hit a bookshelf, and a torrent of books poured down, instantly burying her; Harry's head snapped He bumped into the stone wall behind him, and there were stars in front of his eyes. For a while, he was dizzy and couldn't do anything.

"We've got him!" shouted the Death Eater closest to Harry. "In an office. From—"

"Silence and silence!" Hermione yelled, and the Death Eater's Luyin disappeared.He was still moving his mouth through the hole in the mask, but there was no sound, and his accomplice pushed him aside.

"Petrification!" Harry yelled just as the second Death Eater raised his wand.The Death Eater's arms and legs snapped together, and he fell face down on the rug at Harry's feet, stiff as a plank and unable to move.

"Great, huh—"

The Death Eater who had just been dumbed by Hermione suddenly waved his wand, and something like a purple flame pierced Hermione's chest. Hermione seemed to be surprised and let out a soft "oh", and collapsed on the ground Not moving at all.

"Hermione!"

Harry quickly knelt down beside her, and Neville scrambled over from under the table, his wand held up in front of him.As soon as the Death Eater saw Neville, he kicked him hard on the head - one kick that broke Neville's wand and kicked him in the face.Neville screamed in pain, covered his mouth and nose and shrank back.Harry turned and held his wand aloft, seeing that the Death Eater had pulled off his mask and was pointing his wand at himself.Harry recognized -522?This long, pale, distorted face was that of Antonin Dolokhov, the sorcerer who had killed the Prewetts, as reported in the Daily Prophet.

Dolokhov grinned.His free finger pointed to the Prophecy Ball still clutched in Harry's hand, then to himself, then to Hermione.Although he couldn't speak, his meaning couldn't be more clear: Give me the prophecy ball, or you will end up with her? ? "Hand over the Prophecy Ball and you'll kill us all the same!" said Harry.

A wave of panic raced through Harry's mind, and he couldn't think normally.He had one hand on Hermione's shoulder and could still feel her warmth, but he didn't dare look her in the eye.Don't let her die, don't let her die, if she dies, it's all my fault? ? "Don't (don't care) what you do, Harry," Neville said excitedly under the table, his hands dropped a little, and it was obvious that his nose had been kicked off, and blood was flowing down his mouth and chin. Drew down, "Don't call it expensive to him (don't give it to him)!"

Then there was a bang outside the door, and Dolohov looked back—a Death Eater with a baby head appeared at the door, his head screaming, and his huge fists out of control swung at everything around him.Harry seized the opportunity: "Petrify everything!"

Before Dolokhov could resist, the spell hit him.He fell forward, across the body of his accomplice, and they were both as rigid as a plank, motionless.

"Hermione," Harry shook Hermione immediately, as the baby-headed Death Eater stumbled out of sight again, "Hermione, wake up??"

"What did he do to her?" said Neville, crawling under the table, kneeling on Hermione's other side, blood gushing from his rapidly swollen nose.

"I have no idea??"

Neville fumbled for Hermione's wrist.

"Have a pulse, Harry, I'm pretty sure."

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, momentarily dizzy.

"She's still alive?"

"Yes, I (think) yes."

Neither of them said anything more, and Harry tried to hear what was going on around him, but all he could hear was whimpering and stumbling, which came from the Death Eater with the baby's head in the next room.

"Neville, we're not far from the exit," Harry whispered, "right next door to the rotunda?? If you can get through there and find the right door before the other Death Eaters arrive, I bet you can put Herr Take Min down the corridor, into the elevator?? Then, who can you find?? Call the police??"

"Then what are you going to do?" Neville said, wiping his bloody nose with his sleeve, and looked at Harry frowning.

-523? "I'm going to find someone else," said Harry.

"Okay, then, I'm going to get angry with you and go find them." Neville said without hesitation.

"But, Hermione—"

"We're going to take her together." Neville said firmly, "I'll carry her on my back - you're better at dealing with them than I was -"

He stood up, grabbed Hermione's arm, and stared at Harry. Harry hesitated, then took Hermione's other arm, and together lifted Hermione's limp body onto Neville's shoulders superior.

"Wait a minute," said Harry, grabbing Hermione's wand from the ground and slipping it into Neville's hand, "you'd better take this." As they walked slowly towards the door, Neville snapped his own wand The broken wand kicked aside. "My grandma insisted on killing Wu (me)," he said inarticulately, with the blood dripping from his nose, "the wax (that) was left by my father."

Harry poked his head out of the door and looked around cautiously.The Death Eater with the baby's head was still there screaming loudly, banging and banging things around.He overturned the grandfather clock, overturned the table, and cried in a daze.The glass-fronted closet behind them continued to fall and shatter, then returned to the wall and snapped back into place of its own accord, Harry reckoned there was some switch inside. "He won't notice us," Harry whispered, "Come?? Follow me??"

They tiptoed out of the office and headed for the door that led into the dark hall, which now seemed deserted.They took a few steps forward, Neville staggering a little with Hermione on his back; the door to the Hall of Time closed behind them, and the surrounding walls began to turn again.The blow to the back of Harry's head just now seemed to have knocked him out.He narrowed his eyes and swayed slightly until the wall stopped turning again.He found that the flaming x that Hermione had left on the door had disappeared, and his heart sank.

"Now where do you think you should go—"

Before they could decide which door to try, a door on the right popped open, and three people fell out of it.

"Ron!" Harry yelled hoarsely, rushing towards them, "Ginny - y'all -?"

"Harry," said Ron, smirking weakly, falling forward and grabbing Harry's robes by the chest, staring at Harry with dreamy eyes, "is it you?? Hahaha?? Look That sounds funny, Harry?? What a mess you are now??"

Ron's face was very pale, and some black stuff was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and then his legs gave way and he fell down, but he still held Harry's robe in his hand, causing Harry to bend over.

"Ginny?" said Harry worriedly. "What's wrong?"

Ginny shook her head, slid down against the wall and sat on the ground, holding her ankle panting. "I think her ankle was broken, I heard a click," whispered Luna, who was leaning over Ginny, looking like the only one unhurt, "Four men chased us into a A dark room full of planets; what a weird place, we just float in the dark sometimes??" "Harry, we see Uranus approaching us!" said Ron, still smirking weakly, " Got it, Harry? We see Uranus - ha ha ha -" A blood bubble popped up at the corner of his mouth, then burst. "—But someone grabbed Ginny's feet, I used the Shattering Curse, and Pluto exploded in front of him, but??" Luna gestured to Ginny helplessly, her breathing was very weak, Always keep your eyes closed. "What happened to Ron?" Harry asked worriedly.Ron was still smirking, hanging from the robes on Harry's chest. "I don't know what they hit him with," Luna said sadly, "but he's been kind of weird and I almost couldn't get him out." "Harry," said Ron, putting Harry in the ear Pulling to himself, still smirking weakly, "Do you know who that girl is, Harry? Is she a mad girl?? Mad girl Lovegood?? Hahaha??" "We have to get out of here. said Harry firmly. "Luna, can you help Ginny?" Ni's waist helped her up.

"It's just an ankle injury, I can do it myself!" Ginny said impatiently, but she fell to the side as she spoke, and she had to grab Luna in a hurry to stabilize herself.Harry put one of Ron's arms around his shoulders, just as he had done to Dudley a few months earlier.He looked around, and there was only a one-in-twelfth chance they'd find an exit the first time—he helped Ron toward one; A door flung open, and Bellatrix Lestrange ran in with two Death Eaters. 'Here they are!' she screamed. The Stunning Spell shot across the room: Harry rushed through the door in front of him, put Ron down hastily, and ran back, stooping, to help Neville put Hermione Back into the house: They all crossed the threshold and shut Bellatrix out just in time." Imprison fast! ' shouted Harry as he heard the three Death Eaters slamming their bodies against the door outside. 'Never mind! said a man's voice, "there's another way to get in—we've found them, and here they are!" "Harry turned; they were back in the Brain Hall, and there were indeed many doors in the walls all around. He could hear footsteps in the hall behind him, and more Death Eaters were running to join the original three." Luna - Neville - help me! "The three of them sprinted around the room in splits, sealing the door behind them as they went; Harry bumped into a table as he hurried towards the other door, and rolled over it.

-525? "Quickly imprison!"

There were many running footsteps behind these doors, and from time to time someone slammed a heavy body on the door, making the door creak and vibrate; Luna and Neville were casting magic on the door along the opposite wall— —and then, just as Harry was at the other end of the room, he heard Luna yell, "Quick - eh??"

He turned just in time to see Luna being thrown; five Death Eaters swarming into the room through the door Luna hadn't had time to close; On the floor on her side, she lay sprawled flat on her back, as motionless as Hermione.

"Get Potter!" screamed Bellatrix, running towards Harry; Harry dodged her, turned and bolted back; as long as they didn't hit the prophecy ball, he'd be safe—"Hey !" said Ron, who had staggered to his feet and was staggering towards Harry with a smirk, "Hey, Harry, there's some brains in here, hahaha, weird, isn't it, Harry?"

"Ron, get out of the way, get down—"

But Ron had pointed his wand at the jar.

"Really, Harry, that's
