HP Midnight Light

- January 1998, 4 - Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Blaise asked Pansy if he would like to go for a walk before dinner. Although the weather was not suitable for outdoor activities, Pansy did not want to stay in the Slytherin lounge, which was getting weirder and weirder.

"It would be nice to have a telescope now." Blaise said suddenly, "Tonight is suitable for stargazing." He pointed to the clear and cloudless sky.

"Please—" Pansy reminded helplessly with a small yawn, "It's been a long time since we finished the OWLs exam!" She pointed out the fact by pulling the corner of her mouth, "And now is not a good time for stargazing. "

"I know," Blaise said optimistically, "but if we don't try to find something fun to do, we're going to get depression first."

"What is depression?" Pansy asked reflexively.

Blaise shrugged and answered very calmly: "A Muggle word." Pansy raised her eyebrows, and before she could ask, Blaise cut off the conversation, "I won't tell you where I learned this word from."

Pansy twitched the corner of her mouth: "Okay, let's talk about something light... If we can win the second war, what do you plan to do in the future?"

"If you mean work, I'll definitely go to Gringotts to work as a spellbreaker. But assuming I'm lucky enough to survive with a full body, I'll definitely take a trip to South America first."

"South America?"

"My father always wanted to go there to investigate the tropical rain forest." Blaise said seriously, "Although I have never met him in person, it is a kind of belief, a beginning and an end, you know what I mean ?”

"Of course." Pansy nodded, "I'll probably go on a long trip too, but I haven't figured out where I'm going. Maybe somewhere a little more free."

Blaise gave her a concerned look: "Everything will be fine."

"Yeah, I just need a little time to relax." Pan Xi laughed at herself, "So, no matter how well prepared you are mentally, you will still be shocked when the result comes. Of course. , I haven't fully figured out what happened, but I don't care anymore, which is a good thing."

"It's human nature," Blaise said immediately. "So, then again, have you considered the rest of your life? For example—do you like a stable environment, or do you keep walking around?"

"I prefer a more secure place, but I'm sure I'll be out and about from time to time," Pansy admitted. Popular reporter for Home Daily."

"She never stops talking nonsense, does she?"

"Even if we still hold her handle." Pansy said through gritted teeth, "Even though Animagus can't threaten her now—do you think Skeeter will have anything to do with the Dark Lord... ..."

"Oh no, the Dark Lord doesn't like her IQ. Then in terms of family, what kind of person do you think you will marry?" Blaise quickly changed the topic, "Is your pen pal Louis like?"

Pansy smiled: "No, no, of course not...he's too extroverted and too enthusiastic."

Blaise seemed to want to dig deeper into the question: "So which type do you like? I mean, in terms of who you marry, not who you date."

Pansy finally realized that it was the first time they talked about such a deep-seated issue. She stopped and looked at Blaise suspiciously: "Is this..."

"Maybe I'll have some good advice, you know, I've changed more dates than Potter broke school rules." Blaise said, but he didn't have his usual smile.Pansy raised her eyebrows: "Since when did you care about who my future husband is?"

"I--"

Blaise stopped abruptly as soon as he said a word, and he made a silent gesture.Pansy drew out her wand and looked around vigilantly, and soon she found something that made Blaise more vigilant:

There was a faint rustling sound from a bush not far away.

"Who's there!" Pansy immediately switched to alert mode, "Come out, or we'll cast a spell!"

A slight sob sounded, and Blaise quickly stepped forward to push aside the bushes. A junior boy in Gryffindor robes curled up inside and watched them wiping tears.He huddled on the edge of the bush in fear, and begged repeatedly tremblingly: "Please don't tell the Carlo brothers and sisters that I am here, please! You can do whatever you want me to do!" He whimpered, sniffled, Eyes are red.

"What happened to the Carlos?" Pansy asked.

The boy sobbed and shook his head blindly, refusing to answer.

"You come out first," she advised, "we won't hurt you."

The boy glanced wincingly at the wands in their hands, and obediently crawled out.

"Tell us." Blaise knelt down and looked at the boy and comforted him softly, "We won't tell them you're here, but you have to tell us what happened first."

Finally the boy couldn't hold back his cry. He stammered and said intermittently: "We were playing hide-and-seek on the field, but the Carlo brothers and sisters came, and they took all the remaining students away. I hid in the That's why it hasn't been found—"

"Where did they take them?" Blaise asked immediately. "Which direction?"

The boy tremblingly raised his finger and pointed to the direction of the dungeon. He hugged Blaise's arm tightly and cried out of breath: "I heard them mention the Avada Kedavra, they will definitely take them Killed them all—”

"Hush! Shh!" Pansy warned. "You don't want to bring them back, do you."

The boy covered his mouth, his eyes widened with fear.

"Listen, don't cry yet. We'll find a way," Blaise reassured, and then he told the boy how to get into the Room of Requirement, "You stay here and don't move until dinner time and then go up the stairs Go up quietly, someone will take care of you there."

"But they—"

"We'll go find them." Blaise patted the boy on the shoulder. "Now your task is to hide yourself in the tower safe and sound - surely a brave Gryffindor can do that, right?" He raised his hand to signal the boy to give him a high five. After hesitating for a moment, the boy held back his tears and patted Blaise's palm lightly.

"Be obedient." Pansy then added, and they watched the boy hide back under the bushes again, "If you hear something on the way, hide in the nearby bathroom or behind the armor immediately, okay?"

"You have to be vigilant," Blaise emphasized. "If someone finds out, they will definitely look at you."

The boy nodded.

"What should we do now?" Pansy asked after taking a few steps away. "The Carlos must be planning to use those students as living material for practicing Kedavra."

"We've got to get them out," Blaise said quietly, as if talking about the weather. "As soon as that boy gets to the Room of Requirement, Longbottom and the others will know what's going on outside. So if we can manage to get that group of Let the students out of the dungeon, and they'll be picked up by Longbottom."

"Yeah, so we'll just do the most dangerous thing of all - break into the dungeon and let them out," Pansy said slightly sarcastically.

"Are you afraid?"

"Of course not." She carefully tucked her wand into her sleeve. "I just hope you don't hold me back later."

"It never occurred to me that I was doing this."

"I never thought I'd save a bunch of Gryffindors."

A few minutes later, Blaise and Pansy successfully sneaked into the dungeon, and the Carlos were not there.

"Hurry up." Blaise stood at the door with his wand raised.

"I can't open the door here."

"Then blow it up," Blaise said decisively.

Pan Xi took a step back without hesitation: "Get out of the way—thunderbolt!"

A burst of smoke suddenly exploded, and the iron fence was blown out a hole big enough for a group of children to swarm out.

"We're running out of time." Pansy counted the number of people and made sure everyone had left the cell. "Keep quiet."

"Run to the sixth floor!" Blaise said. He led the junior students out of the dungeon and showed them the way to the Room of Requirement. "Someone will meet you upstairs."

Pansy glanced back at the destroyed cell before turning to catch up with them.Her heart was pounding and she couldn't believe what she had just done.

"Hurry up," Pansy urged in a low voice. "You all draw your wands and get ready to fight!"

Blaise and her looked at each other.They were not sure if Neville and the others would wake up in time and prepare to take over the group of freshmen, and they were also not sure if something unexpected would happen on the way—

"Avada Kedavra!"

"Run!" Blaise yelled.Pansy had thrown back a spell: "Armor for protection!"

The group of students disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

"We're going to buy them a little time," Blaise said quickly.

Pansy's face was pale, but she still clenched her wand tightly: "I know. Disarm you!"

The Carlo brothers and sisters rushed towards them, with undisguised cruelty and pleasure on their faces: "It really is you! We have known for a long time that you are not as innocent as you seem! Avada Kedavra!"

"Armor protection!"

"Passed out!"

Rays of light shuttled and collided in the hall.The loud noise attracted several surprised students, who then screamed in fright at the brutal battle.

"You can't beat us!" The Carlo brothers screamed, and Amycus turned his head and scolded Professor McGonagall who had come to the entrance of the auditorium at this time, "Go back! Otherwise, we will clean up with you!"

"Professor McGonagall!" Pansy yelled, she stared at the Transfiguration professor, hoping she could understand what she meant, and at the same time a green light flew past Blaise's ear, "Avada Kedavra !" Pansy's attention immediately returned to the battle, she pointed at Alecto and growled, and an equally murderous Killing Curse went towards Alecto, "Brace!" She exchanged a look with him .Blaise raised his wand:

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

The foyer ceiling exploded, and a cloud of brick and dust gave them brief cover.In the midst of the smoke Pansy found someone grabbing her hand, and Bryce dragged her silently and ran out of the hall as quietly as possible:

"Run to the Forbidden Forest," he whispered. "We can't beat them."

"Avada Kedavra!"

"Catch them!"

The twilight was like blood, they retreated while resisting, and the Forbidden Forest, which had been discolored in the past, became their last refuge at this time.

"Ah!" Pansy accidentally fell.Blaise immediately bent down and grabbed her, dragged her roughly and continued to run forward.

"It would be the end of it if they caught us," he calmly reminded while resisting with the Iron Armor Charm. "Don't forget how much Veritaserum and the Imperius Curse can tell us."

Pansy was taken aback.If the two of them are caught, more people will be implicated.

"Shen Feng—" She raised her wand with the thought of trying it out. If her spells were as strong as Violet's, at least one of the Carrow siblings would fall.

"Don't be busy chanting spells, the terrain here is complicated, if we run fast enough, they may not be able to catch up quickly." Blaise shouted, "Listen to my password, Iron Armor Curse, three, two, one - armor protection !"

Pansy will not listen to orders easily, but this time she quickly cooperated: "Armor protection!"

Two powerful armor curses overlapped, and Amycus slammed into it with a bang.Meanwhile Blaise and Pansy turned and sprinted forward down a narrow path.

"We can't keep running like this!" Pansy warned, "Be careful!"

A sharp arrow pierced Blaise's ear and pierced into a nearby tree.

"We didn't allow you to intrude into our territory, humans." A few tall centaurs walked out of the fog. They looked down at the two students with calmness or coldness in their eyes.

"Yes." Pansy heard the voices of the Carlo brothers and sisters, and her heart was swallowed by great despair, "We are hunted down here by Death Eaters, but you are safe and sound hiding in the Forbidden Forest. If the Dark Lord takes power , you horse people will also be affected!"

"Pansy!"

But it was too late, and the leading centaur aimed his arrow at Pansy.

"Avada Kedavra!"

The centaur let out an angry neigh, and Alecto recklessly cast another stun spell.Several centaurs roared at the same time, they gave up Pansy and Blaise and rushed straight to the two Death Eaters.

"Here!" Blaise tugged her hard, and he reached out to something Pansy couldn't see in the void.

"What's that?" Pansy asked, raising his wand in horror.

"Thestrals," Blaise replied, "I think it's the only vehicle that's going to get us out of here right now." He climbed nimbly onto the back of one of the animals.

"Where are we going to escape?" Pan Xi suddenly hesitated.

"Come on, Pansy!" Blaise held out his hand to her. "We have no other choice!"

The huge impact brought by the thestral's landing caused Pansy to slide directly off its back, and she tripped over something on the ground just before she had time to see that she was in another forest.

"I'm sorry!" She realized that it was Blaise, apparently he also fell to the ground during the landing process just now.

"Hands up!" Another voice ordered coldly before Blaise could speak, and a wand and a hooded figure came into view, "Special search team. You are surrounded."

The author has something to say:

From this one there are ten chapters left (probably) to finish.
