Alice's Travels

Alice told Dumbledore that she left Hogwarts and stayed in London for a few months because she couldn't stand Umbridge's oppression, and concealed the real reason for her departure and the part about returning to China.

Dumbledore said nothing, neither expressed doubt nor pressed questions.

He just took Alice to a very luxurious looking big house at No. 12 Grimmauld Place, told her that she could recuperate here, and left in a hurry again.

Alice was very, sincerely grateful for Dumbledore's timely presence and unadulterated kindness.Undeniably, this made her realize for the first time after wandering for so long that perhaps only Hogwarts would always welcome her.

It was a long-lost feeling of inner stability.

Alice also saw Sirius Black in the house who had been hiding for a long time and hadn't shown up. He seemed to be in better spirits.

Blake walked down the stairs and saw Alice suddenly appearing at a glance.He looked at her carefully for a moment with a scrutinizing gaze, and then said in a slightly surprised tone, "Dumbledore actually brought you here?"

Alice nodded and said nothing.Just as Blake didn't like her very much, she didn't want to talk to him very much.

It's just that his questioning immediately made Alice understand that this place must be a secret stronghold of Dumbledore. Black can hide here, and only trustworthy people can come and go.

Dumbledore is obviously trying to push her to his side...

But even if he doesn't do this, Alice will never stand on Voldemort's side - just as she has witnessed the murderous practices of the Death Eaters, Voldemort's actions are impossible to succeed, no matter how much time is spent , despite bloodshed and sacrifice, people will never and cannot allow terrorism to override the people.

Wishing for world peace has always been the common voice of the world.

That is the trend of the times and what people want.

For the next two days, Alice stayed in the room to recuperate honestly.She wasn't hurt badly, but the pain in her right shoulder always interfered with her daily activities more or less.

On this day, when Alice was about to go downstairs to eat something, she found that Black, Lupine, the former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and a few people she didn't know hurriedly left the house.

Alice's mouth moved, but she still didn't speak before they left—she didn't want them to think that she was snooping on the news, and she really didn't want to break into them.

As time passed, Dumbledore suddenly returned here, and Alice immediately told him that Black and Luping had left.Dumbledore's face immediately became extremely solemn.

"They must have gone to save Harry," said Dumbledore. "This is Voldemort's plan to lure Harry and others to the Department of Mysteries with the false news that Sirius is trapped—in order to get the Prophecy Ball."

"Can I go with you?" Alice said quickly, "Harry and the others are my friends, and I don't want them to be in danger."

Dumbledore seemed to take a deep look at Alice and agreed to her request.Without further pause, he disapparated there with Alice.

After feeling dizzy for a while, Alice opened her eyes again and saw Harry and Neville standing at the bottom of the steps, and there were a few people nearby who seemed to be Death Eaters.On the other side Sirius Black is fighting a man.

Dumbledore walked quickly down the stone steps, and waved his wand at the Death Eaters with a scowling face.

Alice saw Dumbledore walking toward Harry, so she turned to look up the high platform.Black laughed loudly as he ducked from the man's attack.

"Come on, I'll show you how powerful I am too!" Blake shouted, raised his wand and shot out a beam of light quickly.

At this moment, the second ray of light from the man happened to hit Black - he inadvertently did not dodge.Blake's eyes widened for a moment, before the smile had completely faded from his face.

Alice immediately used her wand to release the magic power to grab Blake, who was about to fall from the high platform, and dragged him from there to the bottom of the stone steps on her side in the blink of an eye, and fell to Harry's feet.

Fear and surprise remained on Blake's face, and he almost fell into the archway behind the ledge - and that was where death ended.

Dumbledore was turning to look at Black when Harry rushed to help his godfather up.

The man on the high platform let out a roar, turned his eyes to stare at Alice as he waved his wand and shot out a silver light like a sharp arrow.

Alice also immediately raised her wand to attack him.

The two lights collided quickly.

Alice didn't keep her hand anymore, she raised her left hand suddenly and released the magic power to hit the man's chest, and his body quickly fell from the high platform into behind the tattered curtain hanging on the arch.

The curtain fluttered for a moment as if blown by a strong wind, and then returned to its original shape.

Alice felt a layer of goosebumps on her body for a moment, and she saw it—the moment the man fell into the curtain, his body dissipated into the dark depths like being drained of water and turned into a mummified corpse place.

"What's behind that?" Alice walked quickly to the bottom of the stone steps and asked.

"It's death," said Lupine, coming from the other direction. "The Death Eater is dead."

Alice's eyes widened in horror, trembling unconsciously.

Harry heard Lupine's words and looked at Sirius with lingering fear.

Dumbledore gathered most of the remaining Death Eaters in the center of the room, bound them with seemingly invisible ropes.The sound of cursing and shouting was endless.

Neville's leg was enchanted, and it was flailing uncontrollably.Lupine lifted his spell with a wave of his wand.

"Where's Hermione—" Alice said softly, her face was extremely pale, and she tried her best to restrain her body from trembling, "and Ron, where are they?"

"They're all in the back," said Harry, "Hermione's passed out, Ron's got a brain wrapped around them, but they'll be all right—"

"The others are all there too, aren't they?" said Lupine quickly. "Show me over there—"

"Let's all go there." Black looked at the Death Eaters who were already under control and continued.

Harry immediately led them into a very bright room.In the middle of the room is a huge glass water tank filled with dark green liquid, inside which are many white brain-like things slowly floating around.

Hermione was lying unconscious on the ground, and Ron kept giggling weakly beside her.Ron's sister, Ginny, was sitting against the wall with a broken foot.There was also a girl with light blond hair lying on the ground and moaning softly.

Alice ran towards Hermione immediately, and Harry ran to Hermione at the same time.On the other side, Ginny's eyes dimmed instantly.Neville walked towards the blond girl, Luna Lovegood.

"Hermione, Hermione—" Alice called several times, but Hermione still didn't respond.Harry's expression turned disappointed.

Alice turned her head and glanced at Ron, but said nothing.

"Get ready to take them to the hospital," Lupine said finally.

Voldemort's plan to steal the prophecy ball obviously failed-Harry and others stopped the Death Eaters and smashed the prophecy ball, and Dumbledore's members of the Order of the Phoenix also arrived in time to save everyone.

After the Death Eaters were free to break into the Department of Mysteries directly under the Ministry of Magic headquarters to carry out plotting activities, the Ministry of Magic finally had to announce to the outside world that Voldemort had returned from the dead.And Umbridge was finally fired from Hogwarts.

Alice returned to the campus again, but it felt like a lifetime away.

It seems that many things have quietly changed.

Hermione and Ron were both lying in the hospital hospital, and Harry was with them all day.

Alice had just come out of the hospital and was striding towards the castle.Hermione has woken up, and Ron's memory seems to be a little confused. Although there is nothing serious, their injuries are not serious.

Suddenly Alice's footsteps stopped, and a tall and thin figure stood in front of her.

Alice's eyes fixed on Malfoy - suddenly remembered that his father was also among the Death Eaters in this operation, and those Death Eaters would all be sent to Azkaban Prison without exception.

"I..." Alice was about to speak when Malfoy interrupted her.

"What did you do," Malfoy said softly, his fair skin paler than before, his cold eyes piercing her like ice picks, "you helped Potter again, didn't you—you chose to stand there Aside, right? Just wait, Potter will pay for what he did to my father sooner or later! I will definitely find him, and they will never send my father to prison..."

Alice suddenly realized that Malfoy had never looked at her with such cold eyes before.Her lips were pursed tightly, without a word of excuse.

Whether it was intentional or not, whether or not she caused the Death Eaters' failure and their capture, it was impossible for her to side with Voldemort, nor to help them.

From Malfoy's point of view, she is indeed against them, and she is indeed helping Harry.

"Why don't you talk," Malfoy said, pressing towards Alice, his eyes seemed to be burning with fire, "you have been away for so long because you are doing things for Potter's group?"

"I didn't." Alice said awkwardly, feeling her throat was choked and unable to speak, and even her eyes began to mist.

"Lie!" Malfoy stopped abruptly and said viciously, "You're a liar—you don't remember anything you said and promised, do you? As soon as you meet Potter, everyone Everything you said is forgotten, right?"

"It has nothing to do with him, I know my choice—" Alice tried to open her eyes to look at him, and said with a hard breath, "Following Voldemort will not end well, just because I know the result clearly, so talent--"

"Shut up! Don't say the name—" Malfoy said eagerly, as if he'd been hit for a moment.

"You see, just hearing his name is enough to make people frightened," Alice said, taking a deep breath. "Then, don't you understand that this road will never pass in the first place, and you will only have to go any further?" It will be dark..."

"Stop quibbling," Malfoy said indifferently, "Now that you have made your choice, I have nothing to say to you."

He left quickly after speaking.

Alice suddenly felt her eyes sore, and her heart was suffocated as if being pinched.

Her lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, and her eyes were fixed on Malfoy's back, which gradually disappeared from her sight.

The breeze blows across the grass, soft and silent, silent.

Alice stayed in place for a long time without moving.

I just can't figure out why her heart hurts slightly.
