Scott stopped, reached out to grab the wand hidden in his pocket, then turned around and looked directly at the two wizards hiding in the crowd and approaching step by step.
They were two men with ordinary looks, ordinary clothes, even ordinary hairstyles and stubble on their chins, and they were inconspicuous in the crowd.
“What’s wrong, Scott?”
At this time, Professor Flitwick also noticed Scott’s abnormality and turned around.
“Avada Kedavra!”
However, the moment Professor Flitwick turned around, two dazzling green lights shot straight towards where Scott was.
This was a fatal attack, and it was so abrupt that Scott didn’t even react at all.
But the moment the two launched the attack, Scott clearly sensed the changing magic nature of the two.
It was the Carrow brothers and sisters!
At this moment, Scott had no time to think about why the two brothers and sisters came here in disguise, why they could hide their magic nature, and why they used magic to attack in front of a large group of Muggles.
He had to save his life under such a fatal attack.
“Scott!”
The green light instantly appeared in front of him, and he heard the anxious shouts of Professor Flitwick and Roger.
In this situation, Scott didn’t even have time to pull the hand holding the wand out of his trouser pocket.
At this time, he had only one choice, that is, to activate the door key.
At the critical moment, Scott did not hesitate, and before being touched by the green light, he activated the door key on his left hand.
The world was spinning.
As if he had passed through a tunnel made up of magical colors, Scott landed again and appeared in the forest.
“Rumple!”
He shouted loudly.
“Gawp!”
“Gawp… Gawp…”
On the surrounding oak trees, the unpleasant cries of crows came one after another.
The sound of flapping wings sounded densely, and countless crows flew up from the trees, covering the entire forest like a dark cloud.
“Scott!”
Rumple flew down from the largest oak tree.
“Get bigger quickly!”
Scott raised his wand to enlarge his body.
Rumple didn’t say much, but cooperated and landed on the ground.
“Hurry! Go to Hogwarts!”
Scott climbed onto Rimbaud’s back and ordered anxiously.
“I know!”
Rimbaud spread his wings and flew out of the forest at the fastest speed, flying towards Hogwarts.
Because of the high speed, the oncoming wind made Scott unable to open his eyes.
He simply closed his eyes and buried his head in Rimbaud’s neck.
“Ga!”
Not long after, Scott felt the wind gradually weakened, so he opened his eyes.
At this time, Rimbaud had directly crossed the forest and came to the outside of the Forbidden Forest, where Hogwarts was located.
“Woof…Woof!”
A dog barked, and Scott looked in the direction of the sound.
Hagrid, holding Fang, was running towards this side.
“Who are you? This is Hogwarts!”
“It’s me, Scott Trollope, Professor Hagrid.”
Scott patted Rimbaud and let it land.
“You? Oh… Scott?” Hagrid stared at Scott with wide eyes. “It’s summer vacation now, why are you here?”
“Sorry, no time to explain.” Scott jumped off Rumple’s back, “Is Professor Dumbledore in school now?”
Hagrid scratched his hair, “Dumbledore? I don’t know. What do you want to see him for?”
Scott said anxiously, “We were attacked by Death Eaters abroad, I escaped back with the portkey, but Professor Flitwick and my two classmates are still there!”
“Oh! Professor Flitwick?”
Hagrid’s eyes widened again.
“Let’s go! Let’s go find Dumbledore!”
He stretched out his big hand and grabbed Scott’s arm without saying anything, holding him like a chicken, and ran quickly towards the castle.
“Ya Ya, don’t follow me!”
“I…”
Scott wanted to say that he could walk, but the wind blew into his mouth.
This was the first time he felt the speed of Hagrid, a half-giant, running at full speed.
It must be said that although his movements looked a bit clumsy and his footsteps sounded a bit heavy, his speed had exceeded the limit of human running speed.
Scott shut his mouth obediently and waved his other hand in the direction of Rimbaud.
“Meow!”
Entering the castle, Mrs. Norris screamed.
“Hagrid! You…”
Filch’s roar had just sounded when he was left behind the two.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
Heavy footsteps sounded one after another, and Hagrid ran to the third floor in one breath and stood in front of the stone statue at the entrance of the principal’s office.
“Oh…”
He put Scott down and said with some annoyance: “Sorry, I don’t know the secret order.”
“…”
Scott didn’t know what to say.
Fortunately, because he made too much noise running all the way, Dumbledore already knew they were coming, and the entrance in front of the two opened automatically.
Entering from the removed stone wall, Scott did not let the moving stairs take him to the eighth floor as usual, but took a step and ran up at the same time.
He reached the eighth floor in the shortest time, and the wooden door of the principal’s office was already open.
“Professor Dumbledore!” Scott ran into the office without even having time to breathe. “The Carrow brothers and sisters sneak attacked me. I escaped through the portkey, but Professor Flitwick, Roger, and Milton are still over there!”
Dumbledore, who was sitting behind his desk, looked serious after hearing this, “Was Filius attacked when you left?”
Scott shook his head, “Those two guys came for me. They hid in the crowd and cast a death curse on me at the same time.”
“oh……”
Hagrid exclaimed as he walked into the office right behind Scott.
“Death…die…”
He seemed shocked by what Scott said.
“Thanks to Merlin, you were able to escape from the sneak attack of the Death Curse!”
“But I escaped.” Scott felt very uneasy. “I was worried about Professor Flitwick and them.”
“Oh, no one would blame you, in that case.” Hagrid comforted him kindly.
But Scott was still a little sad.
“I was too careless…”
When he noticed the abnormality and was not fully alert, he subconsciously thought that the other party did not dare to mess around in public. By the time the attack occurred, it was too late to make other reactions.
“Yeah, no one would blame you, Scott.”
Dumbledore spoke.
“You said, Filius is in perfect condition, you should believe in his strength.”
Scott certainly believed in Professor Flitwick’s strength.
If the attackers were only the Carlo brothers and sisters, he wouldn’t have to worry at all.
“But I fear there are other enemies lurking around there,” he said to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore stood up immediately.
“Let’s go, it seems I have to go abroad.”
He walked straight to the fireplace and grabbed a handful of Floo powder.
“I’ll take Scott to have a look. Hagrid, please explain the situation to Minerva.”
“Okay, Professor Dumbledore.”
“Ministry of Magic.”
The green flame burst into flames, and Dumbledore’s figure immediately disappeared.
Scott quickly followed.
Passing through the layers of fireplaces, what appeared in front of Scott was the atrium of the Ministry of Magic.
It was already evening, and the wide atrium seemed particularly empty.
All Scott saw was Dumbledore and another staff member waiting outside the fireplace.
“We must go to Austria.”
Dumbledore said to the young staff member.
The young wizard looked embarrassed, “This… Professor Dumbledore, I can’t make the decision.”
“Is there anyone on duty at the Department of International Magical Cooperation?” Dumbledore asked.
The young wizard shook his head, “No, please come back tomorrow.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Dumbledore said, “Then there must be someone on duty in the Auror office. Help me inform them.”
“Okay, please wait a moment.” The young wizard agreed.
He turned and ran to the desk, wrote a note, and waved his wand.
The note turned into a paper airplane and flew away.
Not long after, there was movement from the elevator.
Da da da……
The sound of sticks making contact with the ground was heard.
A wizard with a cane limped over.
“Oh, it’s Mad-Eye.”
Scott heard the young wizard muttering softly and immediately understood the identity of the person.
“Albus, why are you here? What happened?” Moody, known as “Mad-Eye”, asked loudly.
He came closer, and Scott could see his appearance clearly.
He has thick dark gray hair, his face is scarred, and a large part of his nose is even missing, which is very scary.
Even more strange were his eyes.
He has one small, normal black eye and one round, bright blue eye that moves constantly.
“Death Eaters attacked Filius and the students abroad. We need to go to Austria, Aratos.” Dumbledore said.
“Damn those rampant criminals!” Moody cursed bitterly.
Then, he glanced at Scott.
“Are you taking this student with you?” he asked Dumbledore.
“Oh, this kid is Scott, who is also the person involved. He escaped from the scene.”
Dumbledore patted Scott on the shoulder.
“Scott, this is Alastor Moody. He is the best Auror in the Ministry of Magic.”
Moody stared at Scott with his terrifying magic eye.
“What happened, boy, tell me the truth!”
He asked in a very stern tone.
Scott could only quickly repeat what he had said before in front of Dumbledore.
After Moody finished listening, the magic eye began to move flexibly again.
He turned around and walked toward the fireplace on crutches.
“Let’s go, if something like this happens, we need to negotiate with those foreign wizards.”
“Mr. Moody!” The young wizard on duty stopped him, “The international floo network requires a reservation before it can be used.”
“Go away, kid.”
Moody raised his cane and slapped the young wizard’s body gently but not hard.
“I’m an Auror and I don’t need to follow so many rules when dealing with emergencies!”
The young wizard staggered and fell to the ground.
Moody was already past him.
“Do you know what an emergency is? You don’t understand. Your entanglement will only delay my affairs. I have to say that young people today are not vigilant.”
Moody cursed, walked directly to a fireplace, and looked up.
“right here.”
He reached for a handful of Floo powder.
Dumbledore and Scott followed.
“Mr. Moody! Professor Dumbledore!”
The young wizard quickly got up and shouted anxiously.
“Okay, I’m responsible for this.” Moody said impatiently.
Bang!
“The Austrian Ministry of Magic!”
Green flames lit up.
When Scott followed Dumbledore and Moody out of the fireplace of the Austrian Ministry of Magic, there was also an empty hall, and the young witch on duty was looking at them in amazement.
“I am an Auror from the British Ministry of Magic!” Moody said to the two of them. “If your work efficiency is normal, I think you already know that British wizards were involved in the attack in Vienna. ”
Smoody and Scott’s identities, and then told the purpose of their trip.
“Please come with me. The person you are looking for is here as a guest now.”
Hearing him say this, Scott quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Strauss turned and walked towards the stone staircase from which he came, complaining loudly as he walked.
“I have to say that this incident caused a lot of trouble. A total of more than a hundred Muggles witnessed a dangerous battle between wizards. Our personnel are still busy working overtime to eliminate those Muggles. memory.”
“Feel sorry……”
Dumbledore apologized quickly and said something official-sounding.
However, his tone was gentle and had a little humor. In short, it made the other person’s face look much better.
Scott followed them up the stone steps and passed through a wide corridor with huge glass windows on one side, and then met Professor Flitwick and his two roommates in the Auror’s office.
“Professor Flitwick, Roger, Milton.”
Seeing them sitting there intact, the stone in Scott’s heart finally fell to the ground.
“Scott!”
Professor Flitwick and the others also stood up happily after seeing Scott.
“Thank God you’re okay!”
Professor Flitwick also looked greatly relieved.
