Chapter 496: Crisis Caused by the Prophecy Ball, Shooting at the Slightest Disagreement (1/2)

Chapter 496 Crisis caused by the prophecy, shooting at the slightest disagreement

"Neville Longbottom, right? Are your parents okay?"

"Much better, because I will take revenge." Neville raised his wand, Bella was ready to fight back with disdain, but Harry and Lucius stopped them tacitly.

"Can we all calm down now?" Lucius said softly, "We just want the prophecy, hand it over, and no one will get hurt."

"Why does Voldemort want me to take it?" Harry asked.

"You dare to say his name." Bella couldn't bear it immediately, "You dirty bastard."

"It doesn't matter, he's just a curious little guy." Lucius explained with a smile, "Because only those mentioned in the prophecy have the ability to get it, others will go insane."

"Why doesn't he come and get it himself?"

"When the Ministry of Magic focused on my dear cousin, the Dark Lord exposed himself to them?" Bella laughed crazily, but soon calmed down, "But the preparations are almost done. If you are lucky, you may be able to see him tonight."

"Don't say this casually!" Lucius said with a smile, "It would be bad if they are scared."

Harry had a blank expression on his face, but his heart was in turmoil.

It sounded like they meant that Voldemort was coming too. If they didn't leave here before he came, they probably wouldn't be able to escape.

"Do it." Harry shouted.

"Fall to the ground."

The six people used the sleeping spell to hit the Death Eaters on the opposite side at the same time. The Death Eaters turned into black smoke to avoid these spells, but also gave way.

"Run." Harry made a quick decision and ran in one direction with five people.

After turning a few corners, Lucius descended from the sky with a cloud of black mist and blocked their way.

In order to facilitate the entry and exit of staff, the Ministry of Magic did not set up an anti-apparition spell, which made it easier for the Death Eaters to move.

That is, this room was filled with densely packed shelves, which blocked the view. If it was in an open area, Harry and his friends would not even have a chance to escape.

"Give it to me." Lucius said coldly.

They paused for a moment, then made a decision in an instant and turned to another fork in the road.

Lucius was not surprised and Apparated to chase after him.

However, Luna hesitated for two seconds and was knocked to the ground by another Death Eater who caught up with her.

"Hanging bell."

She hurriedly picked up her wand and cast a spell, and a spell knocked the Death Eater out.

The crisis was temporarily resolved, but Luna was separated from Harry and his friends, but it didn't matter. The destination was the same, which was the exit of this room.

Because Death Eaters always appear suddenly at irregular intervals, others had to separate during the escape.

Neville and Ginny had just used the petrification spell to deal with a Death Eater when they accidentally bumped into Luna who was running over. They didn't waste time talking and tacitly teamed up again.

A Death Eater turned into black mist and caught up with Harry. His upper body floated in the air and stared at Harry.

But because Harry had the prophecy that Voldemort wanted, the Death Eater was afraid to attack and was knocked unconscious by Harry's Stunning Curse.

Hermione and Ron were also entangled by a Death Eater. They fought and retreated, but their dueling skills were obviously not at the same level as the other party, and the spells they released were easily blocked.

As the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, Hermione turned to attack the shelf on one side.

Hundreds of prophecy balls fell down, and the Death Eaters had to solve the trouble above their heads first.

Phantom milky white figures floated out of the broken prophecy balls. They were the prophet's prophecy. After appearing, they began to tell the content of the prophecy, barely blocking the Death Eaters' sight.

The six people ran at a high speed and finally gathered at the intersection closest to the gate.

A strange sound suddenly sounded, and three groups of black mist flew from different directions, blocking the gate, and Lucius happened to be among them.

"I knew you would come here. Just hand over the prophecy orb honestly, and you will suffer less."

"Tear into pieces."

Ginny suddenly waved her wand, and a blue-white light accompanied by a faint tide of magic shot straight ahead.

Lucius raised his eyebrows in surprise, pulled out the wand from the scepter and blocked it in front of him.

The spell flew in front of the three people and was blocked by a transparent semicircular barrier, turning into thousands of white light spots and dissipating.

"Really good, such a dangerous spell must have been taught to you by Molly!" Lucius said lightly, "If she used this spell, I might not have blocked it hard, but you are too young and your magic power can't keep up."

Ginny seemed to feel that she was being ridiculed, glaring at him with gritted teeth, but she finally suppressed the urge to take action.

The spell just now was already her most powerful magic, but the effect was obviously not ideal.

Lucius stretched out his right hand again, "Give it to me, don't force me to do it."

Harry held the prophecy ball tightly, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, "If I give it to you, we will really be meat on the chopping board."

"Actually... it's almost the same if you don't give it to me." Lucius sneered.

"Get out of the way, or I'll smash it." Harry said calmly.

"You won't." Lucius said calmly, "Smash it, and we won't have any scruples when we start fighting.

Potter, you have a big weakness, personal heroism.

The Dark Lord also knows this very well, so he can lead you out of Hogwarts. You don't want your friends to pay a heavy price for your stupidity!"

"Don't give it to him, Harry." Neville said very seriously.

"I know, but..."

"We are mentally prepared." Ron said, although his voice sounded a little trembling.

"Let me do it!" Hermione hesitated and took a few steps forward, "I don't know if it will work, but maybe I can create an opportunity."

"This is not the time to joke. We may have a chance if we go together." Ginny said in a deep voice, "There are three of them, but there are six of us. We may not lose if we fight."

"That's right." Luna agreed softly while pulling out her wand.

"Alas!" Lucius shook his head helplessly, "Don't cry until you see the coffin!"

But the next moment, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Hermione pulled out a flintlock pistol from her pocket, and the black muzzle was facing them at a distance of more than ten meters.

Fuck!

Lucius suddenly had the urge to curse. He had seen the power of this gun with his own eyes, but he definitely didn't want to experience it himself. If he was hit, he would be skinned alive.

What is even more worthy of reflection is why the gun is in her hand. If it was stolen, it would be fine, and she probably couldn't use it. But if it was given to her by Aaron Gaius, then he would have to change his attitude towards this Muggle-born wizard, at least he couldn't let her die here.

If Aaron was upset, the Malfoy family's retreat might be cut off.

"Stop it." Lucius shouted, "Miss Granger, put that thing down, we have something to discuss."

"Malfoy, there is no need to be so nervous!" A Death Eater on the side said puzzledly.

"Mulciber, if you want to die, you can try it yourself."

The Death Eater named Mulciber stopped talking immediately. He had been in Azkaban for more than ten years, and his understanding of the outside world was not sufficient, but he was still clear about Malfoy.

His strength may not be the strongest, but his judgment of the situation is very accurate, otherwise he would not be so successful in the wizarding world.

"Aaron gave it to you?" Harry's eyes flashed with joy, "Now we are saved."

Hermione nodded slightly, then bravely looked across, "Let us go."

"I'm afraid that won't work." Lucius' mouth twitched slightly.

What a joke? How can he explain to Voldemort if he lets everyone go? Even if he has a high status among the Death Eaters, he can't withstand the wrath of the Dark Lord.

"Then there is no room for negotiation." Hermione said and was about to pull the trigger.

"Wait, hand over the prophecy, I can take a step back." Lucius comforted, "But I can only make the decision and let you go alone."

"What about them?"

"It depends on their luck." Lucius said meaningfully, "I'm taking a step back for the sake of the owner of this gun. You'd better not push it too far."

Hearing this, Hermione smiled slightly and then pulled the trigger.

The flower pattern on the gun body lit up instantly, greedily absorbing Hermione's magic power.

"Run."

Lucius turned into black mist and flew away from the spot the moment she fired the gun, leaving only two words of warning to his companions in mid-air.

Before the two Death Eaters could react, they saw a red bullet with a red shock wave rolling over.

But they were experienced Death Eaters after all. They sensed the huge crisis in their minds and did not have time to retreat. Instead, they instinctively held their wands in front of them.

Boom!

The brilliant flames suddenly burst out, and the magic power released by the two Death Eaters was quickly swallowed by the flames.

The impact of the explosion knocked the two people against the wall before they stopped. The defense was not timely, but they were not seriously injured, just looking embarrassed.

"What is that thing?" Mulciber asked with lingering fear. It was hard to imagine that a witch who had not yet graduated could make him feel the threat of death.

"You don't know, but I know?" Another Death Eater said indignantly, "Malfoy runs fast. If the three of us work together, we will definitely be able to stop him."

Harry and others stared at Hermione in a daze, and Ginny and Luna even had little stars in their eyes.

Just this move, her image in their hearts instantly rose several levels.

Hermione herself was also confused, deeply shocked by the power of the gun, but the weakness coming from her body was not fake, and the huge loss of magic power almost made her unable to stand.

"Let's go quickly, the other Death Eaters will soon catch up when they hear the gunshots." Harry said, and the others also reacted and ran towards the door immediately.

After all, they were being chased by the Death Eaters, and they might lose their lives if they were a step later.

However, when they finally rushed out of the door and returned to the round room, they found that the door leading to the hall was mixed with the doors of other rooms, and even the marks they had made on the door before disappeared completely.

"The Department of Mysteries is really mysterious, right!" Ron smiled far-fetchedly.

There were fast footsteps coming from the door behind them, and they also realized that the Death Eaters were catching up. They didn't dare to stop at all, and just found a door to get in.

......

On the other side, the Temple of the Gods.

Aaron slammed the table hard, and the picture in the crystal ball was covered by fog again.

He and the thought body divined four times together. The first time was when they rode the Thestrals in the night sky. The scene of rushing on the road was meaningless.

The second time was when the main hall of the Ministry of Magic was empty. He was not surprised. Voldemort had prepared traps. It was not that he could not even deal with the security guards on duty.

The third time was more important. Harry got the prophecy ball, and then the Death Eaters appeared.

To be honest, the scene of running away was quite thrilling, but Aaron could still accept it. The weapons he prepared for Hermione could still deal with such a situation.

But when Hermione fired the gun for the fourth time, he really couldn't hold it back. He finally realized what he had overlooked.

Whether it was the red spider lily or the moon drop, it was enough for her to save herself. Lucius cooperated very well and gave her a way out.

But she didn't appreciate it. Using the props that can save one person for six people, isn't that a joke!

"Fuck! What kind of hero are you!

The magic energy is not that high to begin with. That shot at least drew 30% to 40%."

"What should we do? Go or not?" the thought body asked.

"I'll think about it."

"Still want to?"

"What else?

She just used the weapon I gave her. Maybe her family would just give her a warning, but if we get involved, our retreat will be completely cut off. The cost is too high.

Besides, as long as the prophecy is still in Harry's hands, they won't be at the end of their rope. At least the Death Eaters won't kill them easily. As long as they can hold on until the Order of the Phoenix comes, they won't be in any danger."

The thought body rolled his eyes speechlessly. If he hadn't seen the original body pack up all the props on the shelf, he might have really believed it.

"Abe." Aaron shouted.

The Holy Dragon immediately jumped onto the table, "Master, I'm here."

"Get ready. We may have to travel at night later."

"Why didn't I realize that I was so hypocritical before!" the thought body teased.

"Hogwarts cannot Apparate. Even if I want to go, I have to leave the school first!

You continue to stay here to divine, and pay attention to the prophecy book. If something goes wrong, notify me immediately."

"This time it may be a tough battle. Voldemort may take action himself. Are you sure you are ready?"

"Professor Snape will notify the Order of the Phoenix. If the sky falls, there are tall people to support it, although they may not be as tall as me." Aaron pondered, "Don't worry, even if I have to get involved, I won't let myself get too deep.

Apparate, I will leave immediately after finding her. As for the others... I will save them if I can, and I can't care if I can't save them."

The thought body also knew that the main body might have made up its mind this time, and let out a long breath and said: "Plans can never keep up with changes. We can look down on Voldemort, but we must not underestimate him."

"That's why I brought all those props. If it gets out of hand, your existence may not be concealed, but the most important trump card will never be exposed."
