Chapter 631: Fawkes's Brilliant Appearance, Dumbledore's Back-Up Plan? (1/2)

Chapter 631: Fawkes's brilliant appearance, Dumbledore's back-up?

The next day, Malfoy Manor.

Before dawn, a ball of fire suddenly ignited in the spacious and imposing hall, and Fawkes quietly flew out of the flames.

It did not make any sound, but carefully grabbed the three wands on the floor with its claws, held Gryffindor's sword in its mouth, and then turned into flames and dissipated.

Fawkes felt wronged. This was the first time in nearly a hundred years that it had done such a sneaky thing, which was unworthy of its identity as a phoenix.

But Aaron gave it a death order, and it had to come whether it wanted to or not.

When it appeared again, it was in the dungeon where Harry and others were imprisoned.

Seeing the phoenix flapping its wings in the bright flames, everyone was excited. This was the hope of escape!

Gregorovitch almost cried. He had been imprisoned for nearly a year, and now the days of darkness were finally coming to an end.

Fawkes threw down Gryffindor's sword and three wands, and then they landed steadily on the ground.

Harry and Ron hurriedly picked up the swords and their respective wands, and as for the white one, they tacitly decided to give it to Luna.

"Guard it safely, protect everyone..." Ron cast a protective spell on the cell door, "It takes time to activate the portkey, and the protective spell can be used as much as possible."

"You did it very correctly." Luna praised, "What about the portkey?"

"There." Harry pointed to Fawkes, a silver-black key tied to its right leg with a thin wire.

Harry immediately untied the silver-black key and breathed a sigh of relief.

The other five people came to Harry at the same time and stared at the key in his hand.

"According to the plan, we have to escape in front of Bella." Ron glanced at Fox and said in embarrassment, "When will she come?"

"Wait a minute!" Harry touched his face. The stinging curse had lost its effect and his vision became clearer. "I think she will come soon."

At the same time, 'Gandalf' came down from upstairs with Hermione, carrying a backpack and a staff.

"Are we leaving?" Hermione asked nervously,

"Of course." 'Gandalf' nodded. If he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave. Only by running away before Harry Potter and the others, his suspicion would be minimized.

"But they..."

"Aaron has already arranged it, so we can't stay here."

Hearing this, Hermione's pupils suddenly shrank.

He didn't say anything, but just silently accelerated.

"Are you leaving, sir?" Moen came over and asked respectfully, "Would you like to stay for breakfast before leaving?"

"No, we are in a hurry."

Moen raised his eyebrows and then made a gesture of invitation, "Then I will take you there. After all, Malfoy Manor is the base of the Death Eaters. You won't be stopped by me with my guidance."

"Thank you."

"That's what I should do."

......

At dawn.

Narcissa and Lucius gathered in the living room, and Draco also came here with a suitcase.

"Why don't you go to school first?" Lucius said, "I sent an owl to Severus last night. He knew you would come and arranged for Hagrid and Filch to pick you up at Hogsmeade Station.

With the Dark Mark on your arm, no one will stop you along the way."

"No, at least meet Bella before leaving, otherwise..." Narcissa hesitated, but Lucius and Draco understood what she meant.

Draco left Malfoy Manor without saying goodbye, and Harry Potter and his friends successfully escaped from prison not long after he left, which would be somewhat suspicious.

Although this incident itself had nothing to do with him, others might not think so.

After a while, Bellatrix pushed open the door of the living room and strode in, followed by the timid Peter Pettigrew.

"Where is Draco going?" Bellatrix asked, looking at the suitcase at his feet.

"Hogwarts." Lucius smiled calmly, "Although it is a waste of time for him to go back to school, it is still necessary to take the seventh year graduation exam."

"Really?" Bellatrix tapped her chin, "Don't embarrass Sissi, understand?"

Lucius' mouth twitched slightly. What do you mean by don't embarrass Sissi? Don't I have no face?

Draco forced a stiff smile, picked up the suitcase and walked towards the fireplace.

A green flame flashed, and he left Malfoy Manor through the Floo Network.

"Why did you bring him here?" Narcissa looked at Peter Pettigrew with dissatisfaction, but she was very happy in her heart.

If the situation did not allow it, she would have wanted to call all the Death Eaters patrolling outside to witness Harry Potter and his gang's escape, so that he and Lucius would be safer.

"Wormtail betrayed Potter's parents. He is the person Potter hates the most."

"You should be the one I hate the most!" Lucius said playfully, "Don't forget, Sirius died at your hands."

"Shut up, Lucius." Bellatrix cursed viciously, "Don't mention him to me, he is the biggest shame of the Black family, and I washed away this humiliation with my own hands.

Let Potter see Wormtail before he is killed by the Dark Lord. That expression of resentment, anger, and self-blame must be very interesting."

"Okay, let's go to the dungeon!" Narcissa said speechlessly, "The effect of the stinging curse should have passed, and it's time to determine whether he is Potter or not."

The four walked to another door and entered a dark corridor.

Peter Pettigrew walked in front, lighting up with the Luminescent Charm.

After walking up a steep staircase, they saw the heavy cell door and the scene in the dark dungeon.

The effect of the stinging curse disappeared, and 'Vernon Dudley' also revealed his true face.

"Hahaha..." Bellatrix laughed crazily, "Potter, dear, what else do you have to say this time?

The master will be very excited to see you. Are you ready for your death?"

"You may be happy too early." Ron raised the wand in his hand proudly, without any embarrassment from being tortured yesterday, "We will definitely not die here."

"Wand?" Bellatrix was stunned for a moment, and then she noticed that Harry, Ron and Luna each had a wand in their hands, which happened to be the ones she checked with the pre-flashback spell yesterday.

"Who gave you the wand?" Bellatrix roared angrily, and then looked at Lucius with suspicion.

"Why are you looking at me?" Lucius felt guilty, but frowned in dissatisfaction, "My loyalty to the Dark Lord is clear to all.

If I want to betray, wouldn't it be better to just let them go? What's the point of just giving them the wand?

The dungeon and the entire Malfoy Manor cannot Apparate, and there are still many Death Eaters patrolling outside, they can't escape at all."

"Who is that? Someone must have given them the wand." Bellatrix said coldly, and then suddenly thought of something, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "Granger and the old man, it must be them.

Catch Granger quickly, Gaius will definitely surrender if you catch her."

"They left a long time ago." Lucius said speechlessly, "Someone saw Moen Si send them away early in the morning."

Bellatrix was stunned for a moment, "They ran away? Ark betrayed his master?"

"How funny, if he didn't run, would he wait for you to catch him?" Ron said sarcastically.

"Shut up, Weasley." Lucius said coldly, then looked at Bellatrix, "It's definitely not them. 'Gandalf' won't take Granger to take risks.

Besides, there is no reason for Moenz to betray the Dark Lord. With his ability and 'Gandalf', he can definitely lead them to fight."

"Who could it be? It can't be that the wand has grown legs by itself, right?"

"I'm afraid I have to ask Potter about this." Narcissa said meaningfully, "They are still in the dungeon. Even with the wand, they can't do anything?"

"Yes, Sissi, you are right." Bellatrix laughed, "Wormtail, bring them out, I will summon the Dark Lord."

"I advise you to think carefully before summoning him." Luna said with a smile, "If he fails to see Harry when he comes, you will be punished."

"Death struggle." Bellatrix snorted coldly, then pulled open her sleeves, revealing the Dark Mark on her arm.

"What are you doing, Wormtail?"

"I'll go right away." Peter Pettigrew hastily drew out his wand, but before he could open the cell door, he was interrupted by a crisp chirping sound.

Accompanied by the red flame, Fawkes hovered in the air, illuminating the dark dungeon.

"Is that... Dumbledore's phoenix?" Lucius was horrified, "No wonder they can get the wand back."

"No, stop them quickly, the phoenix can Apparate and leave the dungeon."

Peter Pettigrew immediately pointed his wand at Harry, "Faint!"

Bang!

His spell was rebounded by a transparent barrier and hit him.

"Waste!"

Bella cursed and then pointed her wand at the cell door.

However, Fawkes did not give her a chance to act, and turned into flames and rushed out of the dungeon. Lucius and others hurriedly avoided it.

"Now." Harry shouted and held the silver-black key in front of him. Ron, Ginny, Dean, Griphook, and Gregorovitch all touched it with their fingers.

The movements were smooth and skillful, as if they had rehearsed thousands of times.

Snap!

The six people were sucked into a space vortex and disappeared into the dungeon.

Fawkes also rushed out and turned into flames and dissipated.

Bellatrix let out a sharp roar, and then collapsed on the ground in a daze.

She let Harry Potter run away, right under her nose.

"It's over, it's over now." Bellatrix murmured, "The master will not let us go."

"It's not that bad yet, we haven't summoned the Dark Lord yet." Lucius said with lingering fear.

"Heh! Lucius, when did you become so naive?

Do you think the master won't know if we don't tell him?"

"I'm not trying to hide it from the Dark Lord. This time it was indeed our fault, and that's indisputable.

But we did everything we should do, locked him up in the dungeon and confirmed his identity."

"You go and explain to the Dark Lord, do you think he will listen?"

"But if the phoenix appears, our responsibility will not be so heavy."

Hearing this, Bellatrix's dejected eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "You mean?"

" This is not speculation, this is a fact. "Lucius nodded meaningfully, "Dumbledore's phoenix specifically rescued Harry Potter, and used a door key. This was definitely premeditated.

Think about it, who else can order the phoenix to do things except Dumbledore?

Even though he has been killed by Severus, he must have left a back-up plan before his death.

As long as we report the whole thing to the Dark Lord, he will understand that it is understandable that we did not lock up Harry Potter. "

Bellatrix's mouth twitched slightly, and she despised Lucius even more in her heart.

Her brother-in-law is really thick-skinned. In order not to be punished, he actually put most of the responsibility on a dead person.

And the analysis is well-reasoned, and she can't find any faults.

More importantly, she had to admit that this was the only explanation that could make the Dark Lord believe that they did not neglect their duties.

Dumbledore's back-up plan! The Dark Lord is very afraid of him. Isn't it normal that they, the Death Eaters, can't beat him?

Bellatrix looked at her sister, then set her sights on Lucius, "Go and explain to the master when he comes back."

"Ah? Me?"

Lucius' heart skipped a beat.

That's what he said, but he had to take risks to do it.

Who knows if the Dark Lord will punish them in his rage? Maybe not the killing curse, but they can't stand other curses!

"Nonsense, if it's not you, then it's me?

I don't have such good eloquence as you, even for Sissi you have to stand up."

Lucius:......

......

Hogwarts, the Hall of the Gods.

With a bang, Harry and others appeared on the steps at the entrance of the hall.

"What is this place?" Luna looked at the palace in front of her in surprise.

The left and right sides of the palace are divided into areas by snake-shaped sculptures. In the middle is a large round altar with a meditation basin placed on the marble base of the round altar. In the front is a majestic wizard statue. There is also a round floating island in the air that can accommodate hundreds of people.

It is magnificent, low-key and luxurious, but it has an indescribable warmth.

"Harry." Ron looked at the giant statue of Slytherin in surprise, and the image of the basilisk flashed in his mind. "Is this not the place?"

"It should be." Harry nodded in a daze. "Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, but I don't know how he transformed it into this."

"Time, perseverance, wisdom, and money are all indispensable." Aaron's thought body came over and smiled at the six people, "Welcome to my Shenming Temple.

After the second year, I opened a secret passage leading to the Chamber of Secrets and kept improving it, so that you can see this palace in front of you."

"It's amazing." Dean exclaimed, "You have prepared a secret base since the third year?"

"Of course I am amazing." The thought body smiled proudly, "It's not that I am not modest, you will know how great I am after you understand the Shenming Temple."
