Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

When Draco helped Hermione in, he deliberately looked at the time. It had been more than an hour, so he dared to come in.

For him, time returned to normal and it had no effect on him.

He finally put Hermione on a chair beside him, then looked at Ron and asked, "Did Hermione and I disappear in front of you just now?"

Ron shook his head in confusion: "I don't know, I was staring at my hands at that time.

You told me to lie down in bed and rest for a few days so that my strength would gradually recover. Then when I looked up, you were gone.

"By the way, what happened to you? Hermione was fine before, why did she suddenly fall into a coma?" Ron was a little worried, "Is there anything else wrong with her body? Is she poisoned like me?"

Draco shook his head. "No, she was just stimulated and fell into a coma, which is different from your situation."

He let Ron lie down again and said, "Let me check your body again."

Ron cooperated by opening his mouth wide, and asked him to check his eyes... After a series of procedures were completed, he asked vaguely:
"You have examined me many times before. Why do you have to examine me again this time? I remember going through the similar process five times."

"By the way, you haven't told me where you went just now, and why did you suddenly walk in from outside?"

Draco didn't answer his question, but just checked him to make sure the toxins in his body had been eliminated.

"Let Hermione explain this to you. Ask her when she wakes up."

Draco didn't know what he was thinking of, and emphasized: "Hermione saved your life this time. The moment she knew you were poisoned, she tried her best to call me over.

If the timing wasn't right, you wouldn't be lying here so safely now."

Ron was confused by what Draco said.

is it so serious?

But in his memory, they had just finished fighting with the Death Eaters and he was helped out of the shop by Harry and Hermione when he met Draco.

I didn't see Hermione do anything during this period!
"Oh, by the way, where's Harry? Hermione was unconscious, so how come Harry wasn't seen? He disappeared with you."

Draco shrugged. "Don't ask me. I don't know where he is, and I guarantee that even Hermione won't be able to answer this question for you after she wakes up."

Ron was confused by what Draco said.

Clearly the three of them disappeared together, so how come Draco didn't know anything and needed Hermione to wake up and give an explanation?

Even though he had woken up, he felt as if his eyes were still covered with a layer of mist.

The two stared at each other, and Ron looked away first. Although he had a good relationship with Draco, their friendship was not as deep as that between Hermione and Harry.

Ron felt very uncomfortable with such a silent atmosphere. The active lion always wanted to be surrounded by liveliness and hustle and bustle.

He volunteered, "So what are we going to do now, just stay in Honeydukes?"

Harry was missing and Hermione was in a deep sleep. Even if Draco was confident in his abilities, he was still at a loss in the face of this situation.

He thought of Lin Xia.

Faced with such a situation, what would Lin Xia do?
Draco thought for a moment, then sighed and shook his head. He didn't know.

He couldn't guess many of Lin Xia's thoughts.

Draco said in a deep voice, "Just stay here for now and wait for Hermione to wake up before making further plans. I have set up several warning spells around Honeydukes, and will quickly sound the alarm if any wizard approaches."

Thinking of this, Draco felt that he should not only set up a warning magic outside, but also somewhere inside the store.

I don’t know how long those shop assistants hiding in the basement can wait before coming out.

Don't let them be unable to resist coming out, and end up seeing him, Ron and the others, and attacking them as enemies.

They are so innocent! -
Time passed by minute by minute, and as it got closer to six o'clock in the evening, the air seemed to be filled with a sense of anxiety.

All the Aurors have returned to their teams. Instead of going out on missions, they are strolling around the station.

As for the wizard registration at the back door, as it got closer to six o'clock in the evening, the guards were withdrawn and the wizards were allowed to leave.

The reason why we had to stop here before was to prevent the Death Eaters from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, and at the same time to register and capture some suspicious persons.

But as the time approaches, the Death Eaters will be called back to Bellatrix.

If the Death Eaters stopped coming, there would be no point for the Aurors to guard this place, it would only be a waste of their strength.

At Hogsmeade Station.

As the sky grew darker, a blood-red cloud suddenly appeared on the horizon!
This is a rare situation, as if it symbolizes something.

No matter whether they were Aurors in public or Aurors doing other tasks in secret, they all appeared together at this moment and were distributed in different places according to the arrangements that the Ministry of Magic had planned long ago.

When they arrived at the designated location, the Aurors were not idle either. Instead, they set up various magic traps and ancient magic arrays in an orderly manner according to the procedures.

The only reliable information they could receive was the Death Eaters' target -

It's something beneath Hogsmeade Station!
As long as the Death Eaters were around, they would definitely come to the station.

Therefore, the Aurors do not need to look for the Death Eaters scattered around now. As the time gets closer, they only need to wait and see where they are.

While the Aurors were making arrangements, more than half of the other wizards who had gathered at the back door and wanted to leave chose not to leave, but instead followed the evacuating Aurors to Hogsmeade Station.

One of the leading Aurors frowned when he saw this scene, and walked forward to stop them with his hand.

"What are you doing? You shouldn't be here!"

"The back door has been opened without any registration. The more important thing for you now is to leave Hogsmeade!"

The Auror's tone was cold and his expression was extremely serious.

This is no joke. Ordinary wizards cannot cope with the attacks of Death Eaters without professional and brutal magical training.

He might be killed by the Death Eaters in one encounter.

Therefore, not allowing ordinary wizards to join the battlefield is also to protect these wizards.

But the wizards who chose to come here at this time were already prepared to fight the Death Eaters!
The dark clouds pressed down layer by layer, trying to block out the remaining sunlight. It was a heavy sight in the eyes of all the wizards.

A wizard suddenly stretched out his hand, lifted his sleeve, and revealed a hideous scar on his wrist.

The wizard said in a deep and serious tone: "I understand everything you said. I am not an ordinary wizard. I have fought with Death Eaters before. I am a retired Auror of the Ministry of Magic." "I have fought with Death Eaters and almost had my heart dug out by them. My family also died in that battle!"

"I suffered from post-war psychological disorder after that battle. I couldn't face the other relatives who were still alive!"

"Every year, every month, every day, every night! I am mentally tortured. As soon as I close my eyes, I can see the tragic scenes of my dead relatives. I can't accept this!"

"I swear, one day, I will pick up my wand again and fight the Death Eaters! My destiny should be to perish in battle, not to hide in a dark corner and cry all day long!"

The wizard said with red eyes.

He waved his wand upright, then placed it in front of his left shoulder and saluted the Auror who was blocking his way.

Behind him, those wizards all had their reasons for staying.

They also stretched out their wands, held them upright in front of their left shoulders, lowered their heads slightly, and saluted the Aurors.

The other Aurors who were setting up the scene were silent for a moment when they saw this, then they placed their wands upright in front of their left shoulders and returned the salute.

The Auror who was negotiating with them couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

"Since this is your choice, I won't chase you away.

I wish you can die in the destination you want. Death is not the end, but the beginning of another mysterious journey. I mourn for your loved ones who have lost in the battle. "
-
At 5:59 in the evening, Hermione, who was in a coma, suddenly woke up.

She breathed deeply. The coma she just experienced did not make her lose consciousness, but instead made her experience another battle.

She saw that in that battle, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic fought against the Death Eaters. Some of the Aurors betrayed and destroyed the integrity of the protective formation, so that the station was destroyed and Belletrix became the incarnation of the evil god again!
Bellatrix's strength increased again. Her two pairs of black skeleton wings spread out, as if covering the sky and the sun, and were about to swallow up the entire Hogsmeade village.

Hermione murmured to herself: "No, we are wrong, we are all wrong..."

"The Death Eaters' ultimate goal is not what is hidden under Hogsmeade Station, their ultimate goal is the entire Hogsmeade village!"

"Bellatrix wants to sacrifice all the remaining wizards in Hogsmeade village and summon the evil god to descend into this world!"

How prosperous is Hogsmeade village?

Even though the number of people entering is restricted today, there are still many people staying in the village.

Many shop assistants took refuge, and many Aurors and wizards who had grudges against the Death Eaters did not leave, in addition to various wizards hiding in the dark.

Not to mention tens of thousands of people, but at least thousands of people!
These are not the most important things. In the scene Hermione saw, the last Hogwarts Express was forced to stop by Bellatrix.

All the little wizards on the train became sacrifices of the Death Eaters.

Bellatrix's goal has been achieved, Hogsmeade will become a living hell!
Hermione stared at Draco and quickly described what she had seen. "We have to stop this. We have to keep a close eye on the Auror's ancient magic rune defense formation and not let it be broken!"

Draco frowned and looked at her: "But your body..."

Hermione was already standing on the ground, and she spoke quickly, "My body is fine, my spirit is full, and I want to stop this."

The two were about to rush out when they suddenly heard a loud explosion in their ears, and the ground shook a few times.

Hermione's body was unstable and Draco quickly caught her.

Hermione looked a little panicked. "It's already 6 o'clock. The Death Eaters' action has begun. We have to be faster!"

"Wait, wait for me, I'll go help too, wait!" Ron dragged his body to stand up, but his legs felt weak.

He yelled at the top of his lungs, so loud that even the clerk in the basement could hear the noise outside.

This frightened the clerk, who had originally wanted to go out to see what was going on, and he shrank back again, not daring to come out.

At the same moment, the dusk was as dark as blood.

The whistle of the last Hogwarts Express pierced the sky, and it was 6 o'clock!

The train passed through Hogsmeade station on time without stopping.

When the train was about to leave the station, a large number of Death Eaters suddenly Apparated to the top of the train. They swung their wands downwards and uttered the spell: "Dig three feet into the ground!"

The train meandered along a long track, but the track was instantly destroyed by the spell. The train also lost its ability to float and suddenly fell down!
Some carriages were suddenly flipped over and could not bear the weight and broke apart on their own.

In just a moment, the train was divided into several small carriages.

The impact of the spells cast by the Death Eaters is more than that.

Just below, the ground was filled with banging sounds, and dozens of powerful cracks formed deep pits under the bombardment of the excavation spell, revealing the soil and magma deep underground.

Some wizards couldn't help but feel worried, wondering whether the little wizards on the train would be in danger of their lives due to the excavation curse.

"Form a battle array, and activate the defensive magic rune formation!"

An Auror captain roared, and a fierce white light burst out from the tip of his wand. Then the white light ignited one node after another, and these nodes were connected into a large defensive magic rune array.

Because the express train is quite large, they cannot deploy a small defensive magic rune array, only a large one.

Although this large magic array is powerful, it can also be broken through from every detail.

The wizards took a step forward in unison, increasing the power output of their wands to confront the Death Eaters above the train.

The leading Auror yelled, "We can't retreat. We can't take a step back."

Other ordinary wizards also found out what they should do on this battlefield.

They couldn't disturb the Aurors, lest they disrupt the formation, so they went around to the other side and used spells to attack the Death Eaters above.

In addition to this group of people, there is also a group of powerful wizards wandering on the edge, they are the professors from Hogwarts!

The first thing Snape noticed was that there was neither Bellatrix nor werewolf among the group of Death Eaters above.

His snake-like eyes kept darting around, searching for the whereabouts of the hidden Death Eaters.

Lin Xia heard the noise coming from the station. She had just dealt with the last werewolf and was heading towards the station at a rapid speed.

As soon as she appeared on the battlefield, she was discovered by Professor McGonagall.

She looked serious and signaled Lin Xia with her eyes not to step into this dangerous battlefield, and kept waving her hands to tell her to leave quickly. (End of this chapter)
