, the portraits on both sides are full of people, all clamoring for ideas and giving them encouragement.Dean had won himself a wand, and was fighting Dolokhov head-on, Parvati on Travers.Harry, Ron, and Hermione immediately raised their wands and prepared to fight, but the fighters were constantly moving around, and if they cast spells, they might hurt their own people.They were standing there, ready to strike at any moment, when suddenly there was a cry of "Ho Ho Ho Ho!"Harry looked up to see Peeves flying over their heads, throwing knotty vine pods at the Death Eaters, whose heads were instantly drowned in wriggling green lumps like fat caterpillars.

"Ouch!"

A handful of pimples landed on Ron's head in the Invisibility Cloak, and Ron tried to shake it off, but the green, sticky stalk hung absurdly in midair.

"There's an invisible man here!" A masked Death Eater pointed and shouted.

Dean took advantage of the Death Eater's moment of distraction and knocked him out with a stun spell.Dolokhov tried to retaliate and Parvati gave him a full body binding spell.

"Let's go!" Harry yelled. He, Ron, and Hermione wrapped their bodies tightly in the Invisibility Cloak, buried their heads and rushed from among the fighters towards the top of the marble stairs leading to the foyer, stepping on Slippery in the slime of the pimple vine.

As the three of them ran past, Draco Malfoy sneaked around a corner and knocked out a masked Death Eater, but he was soon hit in the face by another spell, and fell on his back to Ron in the invisibility cloak. Bleeding from his body, mouth, and looking very confused.

"He's not as skinny as he looks!" Ron exclaimed.

Travers, who broke free from the knotty vine pod, happened to see this scene, and pointed his wand directly at Malfoy who fell to the ground and Ron with his feet exposed.

"Fine, fine," said the Death Eater, with green slime still on his face, "Avada—"

"I'm Draco Malfoy, I'm Draco, and I'm on your side!"

"I don't care, Draco. I can kill you too, how sad should your parents be? Curses on the battlefield don't have eyes..." Travers smacked his lips, "The Dark Lord won't do it for you." The one who punished me, the Malfoy family is finished—Avada—”

"The house is collapsing! The thunderbolt is exploding! Cruciatus!" Malfoy's shrill voice quickly uttered three spells, which made the Death Eater fall to the next floor before he could move, and smashed the building by the way. under a giant spider. "You forced me to do this!"

"It's disgusting." Ron finally pushed Malfoy off of him, and said, looking at the juicy spider in the hole in front of him. "We're even, Malfoy. You duplicitous bastard!"

Malfoy glanced at the three pairs of feet on the ground, with a complicated expression, snorted and continued to turn his head to find a safe bunker to hide in.

Harry and Hermione grabbed Ron by the hand and ran away.The stairs, the foyer were packed with fighters, and Death Eaters were everywhere.Yaxley was wrestling with Flitwick near the front door.Beside them, a masked Death Eater took on Kingsley.Cedric and Cho Chang took Dean's place to meet Dolohov's attack head-on, as Dean clutched his wound and gasped.Students ran around, some hugging and dragging their injured friends.Harry cast a Stunning Spell at the masked Death Eater, missing him but narrowly missing Neville.Neville came out of nowhere with a bunch of poisonous tentacles in his arms. The poisonous tentacles happily wrapped around the nearest Death Eater and began to wrap him around.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione rushed down the marble stairs, and there was a sudden sound of glass smashing on the left. Slytherin's hourglass, which recorded the college scores, was shattered, and the emeralds inside were scattered everywhere, and the running people The soles of the feet slipped and wobbled.As they ran to the ground floor, two human figures fell from the upper balcony, and a gray figure - Harry thought it was an animal - ran across the hall on all fours, aimed at one of the fallen figures and bit them down. .

"No!" screamed Hermione, her wand exploding with a deafening bang, and Fenrir Greyback was knocked back from Lavender Brown's throbbing body and crashed into the marble railing. , struggling to stand up.Then, there was a flash of dazzling white light, a crackling sound, and a crystal ball fell on top of his head, and he immediately collapsed to the ground and never moved again.

"I've got more!" cried Professor Trelawney from the upper rail. "Who wants more! Here—"

Like a tennis server, she pulled a huge crystal ball out of her bag and waved her wand through the air, sending the ball racing across the hall and out the window.At this moment, the heavy wooden door was knocked open, and another group of giant spiders broke into the hall.

The air was filled with terrified screams, and those fighters, whether they were Death Eaters or Hogwarts teachers and students, fled in all directions, and streaks of red and green light shot among the approaching monsters.They trembled and stood up on their hind legs, even more frightening than before.

"How do we get out?" Ron yelled amidst the screams, and Harry and Hermione were knocked aside before they could answer.Hagrid came roaring down the stairs, waving his pink flower umbrella.

"Don't hurt them, don't hurt them!" he yelled.

"Hagrid, no!"

Harry, forgetting everything, rushed out from under the Invisibility Cloak, bending over the spell that lit up the hall.

"Hagrid, come back!"

He ran towards Hagrid, but before he was halfway there, the scene happened before his eyes: Hagrid disappeared among the spiders.Facing the powerful attack of spells, the densely packed and smelly giant spiders retreated one after another, and Hagrid was buried among them and disappeared.

"Hagrid!"

Harry heard his name being called, whether it was friend or foe, but he just rushed down the front steps and onto the dark playground.The big spiders left with their prey in such a mighty way that he couldn't see Hagrid at all.

"Hagrid!"

He vaguely discerned a huge arm waving in the spider swarm, and was about to chase after it, but was blocked by an extremely huge foot.The foot came out of the darkness, and the ground trembled.Harry looked up to see a giant standing in front of him, a full twenty feet tall, with its head hidden in the shadows.With cruel and fluid movements, the giant slammed a massive fist into an upstairs window, raining glass shards on Harry and forcing him back to the door.

"Oh, god—!" shrieked Hermione, and she and Ron caught up with Harry, looking up at the giant who was trying to grab someone out of the upstairs window.

"Don't!" Ron yelled, grabbing Hermione's raised wand hand, "don't stun him, he'll bring down half the castle—"

"Hagrid?"

Grapp wobbled around the corner of the castle.It was only then that Harry realized that Glop was actually a little giant.The gigantic creature that wanted to crush the people upstairs turned its head and let out a roar.He lumbered toward his shorter brethren, the stone steps trembling under his feet, Gropp's crooked mouth opened to reveal yellow teeth half the size of a brick, and then the two giants stood like lions Generally, they rush towards each other wildly.

"Run!" Harry yelled.The two giants wrestled together, and the night was filled with terrible cries and thumps.Harry grabbed Hermione's hand and ran down the steps and into the playground, with Ron at the rear.Harry still didn't give up hope of finding and saving Hagrid, he ran quickly towards the Forbidden Forest, but just halfway through, they were forced to stop again.

The air around him froze, Harry couldn't breathe, the air in his chest seemed to freeze.Something was moving in the dark night, and countless rotating thick black figures rushed towards the castle like overwhelming mountains and seas.Their faces were hidden by hoods, their breath rattled...

Ron and Hermione gathered around Harry, and the voices of fighting behind suddenly became hoarse and deep, and a kind of dead silence that only dementors could bring enveloped the night heavily...

"Quick, Harry!" Hermione's voice seemed to come from far away, "Patronus, Harry, quick!"

Harry raised his wand, but a gray despair spread in him: Fred and Hagrid were dying, he couldn't guess how many more died, and Harry felt as if his soul had left him. and go...

"Harry, come on!" Hermione screamed.

A hundred dementors floated over briskly and silently, sucking and sucking all the way, approaching Harry's despair, which seemed to herald a good meal for them...

Harry saw Ron's silver dog leap into the air, flicker faintly, and then disappear.He saw Hermione's otter writhing in the air again, before disappearing too.His own wand was trembling in his hand, and he almost wished he could forget everything and fall into nothingness, thoughtless, feelingless...

Just then, a silver rabbit, a boar and a fox flew over the heads of Harry, Ron and Hermione.Facing these approaching spirit creatures, the dementors retreated one after another.Three more figures emerged from the darkness and stood beside them, wands outstretched, continuing to cast spells on the Patronuses: Luna, Ernie, and Seamus.

"Fine," Luna said encouragingly, as if they were back in the Room of Requirement, just doing DA's spelling practice, "Fine, Harry... quick, think of something pleasant..."

"Happy thing?" he said hoarsely.

"We're still here," Luna said softly. "We're still fighting. Come on..."
