Chapter 384 Not Now, Not at This Moment
What's going on here?
Walking through the forest, Loira naturally saw the towering flames in the distance. She had originally planned to head to Karkaroff's location and find an opportunity to kill him—but now—why did such a huge fire suddenly break out in that direction!
And it's a fierce fire!
Is this some kind of competition? Loila subconsciously hadn't considered this, because she had heard that something would be specially arranged at the end to force these heroes to move towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest, so that they would fight at the only exit of the Forbidden Forest—
So this thing refers to the Fiery Blaze?
Did Dumbledore go a little too far? Hagrid must be heartbroken to see this!
And—isn't this fire a bit too big?
Completely unguided, the raging flames seemed poised to engulf the entire Forbidden Forest.
"Go and provide support! There are students in that direction!" Just then, several Aurors flew overhead, riding brooms and rushing towards the burning area.
This certainly doesn't seem to be part of Dumbledore's plan—wait a minute—realizing something, Roy pursed his lips and thought for a few seconds.
So this seems like a good opportunity to kill Karkaroff—after all, in such a chaotic situation, no one should notice his actions, right?
Better than myself —
No, no—after thinking for a few seconds, Loila immediately shook her head. Although now was a good opportunity to kill Karkaroff—there were students there—it would be terrible if something went wrong.
Moreover, this is Hagrid's very precious Forbidden Forest. If it continues to burn like this, he will definitely be very upset.
But—but Dumbledore will go, right?
He should be able to figure it out by now, right?
"Boom!" As if hearing Loila's thoughts, the distant Fiery Blaze suddenly exploded, and the flames grew larger in that instant.
No—no—if Muller knew my choice—he wouldn't agree. How could I—just because I had to kill others—leave innocent people alone—especially since some of them might be acquaintances of mine?
Loila pursed her lips, raised her wand and flicked it, then vanished from the spot.
Fire—fire all around—
Scrimgeour lay on the ground in a daze, staring blankly at the towering flames—he had just been struck by the Killing Curse, which was incredibly fast; he hadn't even had time to react before he was hit.
Fortunately, he had a necklace on his chest, made by Professor Hamilton, that could block one spell—and as the head of the Auror office, he naturally wore one.
I never expected it to come in handy so soon after I bought it—but—
What's wrong?
Scrimgeour, struck by the Killing Curse and lying on the ground, was in a state of confusion. All he could see were towering flames all around him and Aurors running around everywhere.
The Aurors raised their wands to try and fend off the flames, but it seemed to be a drop in the ocean. In addition, he saw Snape holding a wand with a grim expression, who was also trying to fend off the flames.
No way—Scrimgeour gritted his teeth and, with the help of an Auror, got up. After regaining his senses, he looked around for a few seconds.
"Use the Curse of Annihilation immediately!" he shouted, the flames already spreading around him. He took a few steps back and continued, "Everyone, form a circle! Protect the students in the middle!"
His loud shouts seemed to have an effect; the leaderless Aurors immediately came to their senses and spontaneously gathered together, with several of them raising their wands high.
"All curses have ended!"
All Curses End. This is a rather advanced spell, so not all Aurors have mastered it. Seeing that only a few people around him had raised their wands, Scrimgeour gritted his teeth and gripped his wand tightly, as if this would make the spell even more powerful.
Fiery Blaze is a terrifying spell. Once released, it will devour everything. In just a few minutes, it can devour everything. Only the person who uses it can control it, or use it to end all curses.
However, the strength of just these few people was clearly not enough. Faced with the sea of fire that completely surrounded them, the Aurors could only barely hold on.
"Hold on!" Scrimgeour shouted. "This is Hogwarts! Other professors will come to help!"
And Albus Dumbledore!
But will he make it in time?
Even he would need some time to recover if he couldn't use Apparition!
But Scrimgeour cannot reveal the truth. They need to persevere; only by persevering and believing can they have a chance of survival.
"boom!"
But at that moment, the flames seemed to have caught fire from something, and with a loud bang, the fire spread several times over in an instant. The rising flames crashed violently into the spell, causing all the Aurors to retreat.
"All curses end!" Before Scrimgeour could react, the raised wand was forcefully slammed into the ground again.
But the magical power generated at this moment was too weak. The manipulated Fiendfire was gathering its last bit of power, intending to shatter the Aurors' defenses in one fell swoop.
Flames crashed down like an ocean or a mountain, their intense heat seemingly intent on burning everything to dust. At this moment—the day of judgment was drawing near.
But—a figure appeared before everyone in the silver light. It was a figure with silver hair. In the red ocean, a silver light shone, like moonlight sprinkled on the red sand.
She raised her wand high and aimed it at the fiery in front of her.
The time for judgment is not now, not at this moment.
The onrushing flames froze for a moment, as if they had crashed into an invisible barrier. Then, the girl flicked her black robe, and a black-covered book flew out and floated in front of her.
"Splash!"
The pages flipped rapidly, followed by a dazzling silver light. The raging flames were instantly controlled by the suction of the pages and then swallowed up.
The raging sea of fire converged at this moment, forming a fiery tornado that coiled around the silver-haired figure in front of the open book.
The intense heat converged at this moment, causing a bead of sweat to appear on the girl's forehead.
The Space-Extending Book seemed to have infinite space, trying to swallow the raging flames. The flames struggled to break free, but were controlled by the girl's magic wand. In the end, the flames grew smaller and thinner.
Beads of sweat slowly slid down, sliding between those two blue gems.
Finally—that drop of sweat slowly fell onto the dry ground, making a soft "plop" sound.
The last wisp of flame was also completely consumed at this moment, leaving nothing behind.
We're saved?
Looking at the world before them, now completely charred, the Aurors subconsciously pursed their lips.
It was like a dream—they all looked at the silver-haired figure, a short girl whose blue eyes showed a slightly relaxed expression.
"Phew—" She let out a soft breath, then flicked her wand.
The book, which had devoured countless flames, slowly fell along with her flowing silver hair and finally landed in her hands.
"Ugh! Ah!" She screamed as soon as she grabbed the book, and immediately threw it away.
"It's so hot!" she groaned, blowing on her fingers, and then—as if realizing something, she looked at the Aurors.
"Ah—that—" Her face was now redder than flames.
"Miss Hamilton—" Scrimgeour strode up to her, his usually serious face now filthy, revealing a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"You saved us all."
"Ugh—" The silver-haired girl's face turned even redder. She shrank back and lowered her head, seemingly unsure of what to say.
Everyone who was still conscious at the time also thanked her, except for Snape, who simply pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
Dumbledore, who appeared out of nowhere with a phoenix perched on his shoulder, smiled slightly at the scene, but the next second his smile faded and he became serious and thoughtful.
His eyes were fixed on the completely burned wasteland around him, as if he were looking at something.
