Batman's Owl Godfather

Chapter 152 Destined Death

The Feast of the God of War.

When he heard the name, Bruce's first reaction was that Ares was quite an honest man.

Simply naming the banquet after his own godhead would save Bruce the trouble of guessing who was behind the scenes.

"Is that all there is?" Bruce confirmed to Hermione.

Hermione nodded, she had shared all the information she knew with Bruce.

Bruce couldn't help but think.

What does the theme of this banquet, one life for another, mean?

"Do you have any idea?" he asked Katum.

"No!" Katum said angrily. He was still wondering why an owl appeared on the back of Hermione's hand.

OK.

Bruce looked at Hermione, he had already made his decision.

"I'll go with you tonight."

He said, "No matter what happens, I will face it with you! This is what family means."

In fact, Bruce initially thought about whether he could persuade Hermione not to attend the banquet.

But after thinking about it again, I decided to give up this attempt.

Since the other party can remain unnoticed and leave a mark on Hermione's hand.

It must not be difficult to take Hermione's life silently.

If the brand was on his hand, Bruce wouldn't mind trying it once, but not this time. He couldn't risk Hermione's life.

"Is this really okay?" Hermione had some doubts. "The voice has already said that no one without a brand can enter the auditorium."

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Bruce said, "Even if I can't get in in the end and just wait outside, I can still pick you up."

"All right."

Hearing Bruce say this, Hermione finally felt relieved.

"Then let's see you tonight?" she said.

"See you tonight." Bruce nodded.

At this moment, for some reason, Bruce suddenly remembered the divination class yesterday.

At that time, Professor Trelawney said that something big would happen to him, but he could only stay out of it.

Is this the current situation?

Bruce thought to himself that he didn't know how Ares picked people and didn't let him attend this banquet.

But then, he suddenly thought that Professor Trelawney not only predicted him, but also predicted Hermione.

Hermione has the ominous feeling of death...

Bruce shook his head and threw this idea away. It was impossible. Hermione couldn't die.

He will never allow it!

At this time, Katum suddenly said from the side: "Actually, I can go in with Hermione."

Bruce turned to look at the owl.

"Why are you so surprised? This is not the first time we have encountered such restrictions."

Katum said calmly, "No one without a brand can enter the auditorium, but I am not a human being."

…

The day passed by in a hurry, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.

Bruce did not go to study hall today. Instead, after dinner, he went to the dormitory early to make some preliminary preparations.

He was walking in the corridor of the castle and was about to reach the common room. When he turned a corner, he saw a little witch waiting at the door.

The little witch was wearing Ravenclaw's college uniform, and she was none other than Ravenna Royal.

That is, Ravenclaw himself.

She was obviously waiting for Bruce, and when she saw him appear, she immediately waved hello.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Bruce came to Ravenna.

"Don't play dumb and tell me you didn't hear the morning sounds."

There was no smile on Ravenna's face, "Something happened at Hogwarts Castle. I did a divination and saw a bloody future. Someone will die."

"Is the situation serious enough?" Bruce asked, "Even you feel uneasy?"

"It's serious."

Ravenna nodded, "That is an unprecedented power, at least stronger than me, and I feel endless malice in this power."

"Can you find the source of that evil power?" Bruce asked tentatively.

"I just couldn't, that's why I came to find you."

Ravenclaw opened her hand, and four small silver animals appeared in her palm.

Lion, eagle, badger, snake.

It is the representative animal of the four major colleges.

"What is this?" Bruce asked.

"Thousands of years ago, the four of us left a protective force in the castle."

Ravenna said, "I will give them to you now, it should be able to help you."

"Leave it to me?" Bruce understood the implication of Ravenna's words, "Do you think that power is directed at me?"

"What do you think?" Ravenna urged, "Hurry up and continue!"

Bruce opened his palm and took over the four small animal figures.

But before he could take a closer look, the four shadows instantly turned into streams of light, flew in different directions, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"this?"

"don’t worry."

Ravenna said, "This kind of phantom is a very profound magic. Just now you have activated this protective power, and they have gone to the place where they should go.

"It should help you at this critical moment."

Bruce asked: "Then what are the functions of these phantoms?"

"Their functions will change in time depending on the crisis the castle encounters."

Ravenna said, "So I can't say what effect it has now. After all, this is not my own magic."

It is the protection set up jointly by the four founders.

"I see."

Bruce thought to himself that the so-called crisis probably refers to tonight's banquet.

In this case, after thinking for a moment, he decided to tell Ravenna about it.

With the power of Ravenclaw, there is more certainty.

He told Ravenclaw what he learned from Hermione.

"Is there such a thing?"

After hearing this, Ravenna fell into deep thought.

After a long time, she said: "I understand. You should accompany Hermione there today. I will arrive soon."

"Aren't you coming with me?" Bruce asked.

"I'll also make some preparations first."

Ravenna said, "Now that something like this has happened in the castle, I don't want to show any more temper and have to release Gryffindor. Only I can lift his seal."

"good."

Bruce nodded.

In that case, it couldn't be better.

With such preparations, he didn't believe what kind of tricks Ares could make!

…

It's late at night, almost twelve o'clock.

Bruce slipped out of the dormitory and secretly headed to the Gryffindor House common room with Katum.

The owl flew next to Bruce, muttering.

"Nervous and exciting!"

"What are you crazy about?" Bruce asked, "I've never seen you like this before."

They had faced many dangers and had never seen the owl show any nervousness.

"This time is different."

Owl said, "This is my first time entering the girls' dormitory."

Just because of this?

Bruce shook his head and said, "That will disappoint you, we won't go in."

They simply headed for the door to the common room.

When I arrived at the door, I saw a figure sneaking out from inside.

Is it Hermione?

Bruce just took one look and decided it wasn't.

The figure was round and plump, and Bruce was familiar with it.

"It's Neville." Katum whispered in his ear, "It's so late, why is he sneaking out?"

Neville was not the kind of person who would break school rules casually and sneak out of bed in the middle of the night.

When this happens, there can only be one explanation.

"I'm afraid Neville is one of the chosen ones."

Bruce said, "Hermione said there will be other people attending the party."

"He is also a chosen child!" Owl sighed.

Bruce hid in the dark and did not come out. When Neville left, another figure appeared.

Still not Hermione.

"It's Harry."

The owl recognized the man's identity, then nodded and said, "Yeah, reasonable!"

After Harry left the lounge, he looked around in the corridor twice, took out a cloak and put it on himself, and disappeared from Bruce's eyes in the blink of an eye.

"Invisibility cloak." Katum explained, "One of the Deathly Hallows."

"You have told me many times, there is no need to repeat it!"

Bruce said impatiently, "You should think about how to explain that there is an owl on that brand!"

"Sooner or later, the truth will be revealed." Katum snorted coldly, "Those who are clean will be cleansed. I just didn't do anything this time!"

After everyone murmured, Hermione finally appeared at the door of the lounge.

She whispered, "Bruce?"

"I'm here."

Bruce stepped out of the shadows, and Katum flew onto Hermione's shoulder in time.

"Is this?" Hermione was confused.

"Let him go with you." Bruce said. "At the critical moment, you can use him to block Avada's Kedavra."

"You're kidding me again."

Hermione took Katum off her shoulders and held him in her arms.

"If Katum could understand what you are saying, he would be very sad, wouldn't he Katum?"

Hermione rubbed the owl's head, and Katum cooed twice.

Bruce ignored Katum's pretense.

He urged: "Okay, we should go over there."

Twelve o'clock is coming soon.

…

Approaching the auditorium, Bruce saw the door wide open.

It's completely undefended and everyone can get in.

"Wait a minute, I'll try it first."

Bruce thought for a while and decided to test whether only people with a brand on the back of their hands could enter.

Hermione hugged the owl and signaled him to be careful.

Bruce nodded and walked towards the auditorium.

While walking, he turned his palm, and a palm-sized armor model appeared in his hand.

Hellbat Armor·Small version.

As long as there was anything wrong, he would immediately use magic to enlarge the armor and complete the outfit.

However, nothing could wait for Bruce's reaction.

He just took the first step forward, and then suddenly disappeared from where he was.

"Bruce!" Hermione exclaimed.

"I'm fine!"

A voice came from far away, and Bruce's figure appeared at the end of the corridor on the other side.

When he walked up to Hermione again, he didn't believe it.

He would try again.

Taking another step, just like the previous situation, Bruce's figure disappeared from the place again and appeared at the end of the corridor.

"It's only three things!"

He tried again, but nothing changed.

"Okay."

Bruce did not make a fourth attempt, continuing in vain.

"There seems to be expulsion magic set up nearby. It's very clever. I can't understand the principle for the time being."

He said it as if nothing had happened.

"Hermione, I really can't enter the hall, you have to go in by yourself. Remember what I told you. If anything happens, put Katum in front of you. Remember it!"

Hermione nodded: "I remember it!"

Bruce was still worried. Hermione just said that she remembered it, but didn't say that she would do it.

Bruce has played this kind of word game many times.

But Hermione didn't want to make further promises. After looking at Bruce, she turned and walked towards the hall.

Her figure did not disappear. Bruce watched her all the way and watched Hermione walk into the door.

"Is it really just for me?"

Bruce thought about it and took another step forward.

Then, his eyes blurred and he was sent to the end of the corridor again.

...

When Hermione entered the hall, there were already several people waiting there.

"Harry? Neville?"

Hermione saw her good friend, and the tension in her heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

The same was true for Harry and Neville.

The moment they saw Hermione, they were relieved.

With Miss Know-It-All here, there is nothing to worry about.

"Humph -"

Suddenly, a cold snort came from the corner, and Hermione turned her head and saw Malfoy there.

"Another Gryffindor." Malfoy said sarcastically, "Why don't you just book the whole banquet!"

"This is not a good thing."

Hermione ignored Malfoy and walked over to sit with Harry and the others.

Then, another person came here.

Still a Gryffindor.

"Fred?" Harry called out the name of the visitor in surprise.

"No, no, no! I'm George!"

The visitor had red hair and freckles on his face, and smiled with his teeth exposed.

"Come on."

Hermione mercilessly exposed the lie, "You are Fred, I can recognize it!"

Fred seemed to be deflated: "Okay, okay, you can always tell, can you tell me, how do you tell it?"

Hermione snorted, without explanation.

Harry asked curiously, "Are you the only one chosen? I mean, George wasn't with you?"

"The guy who chose me had good taste."

Fred showed the mark on the back of his hand that had faded to almost invisible.

"This means that in his opinion, I am a little better than George, which is normal. My pranks are usually more creative than George's."

There are five people now.

"I think they are all about the same." Hermione said.

Fred and Harry sat together, and soon two more people appeared at the door.

One was wearing a yellow and black sweater, with fair skin and handsome looks.

It was Cedric from Hufflepuff College.

The other was wearing a black robe and had a gloomy face, but when he saw Harry was there, his expression instantly became warm.

It was Snape.

At this time, everyone realized that it was not only the students who would attend the banquet.

"Woof!"

Suddenly, just as Snape appeared, a big black dog suddenly came out from under the guest of honor seat and pounced on Snape.

"Black, don't do that."

A voice stopped the big black dog's action, and Professor Lupin, with a smile on his face, appeared in the center of the guest of honor seat.

That was where Dumbledore often sat.

"It seems that everyone is here, nine people, not one less."

Lupin didn't look like a guest who was going to attend the banquet, but more like a host.

He glanced around and greeted everyone.

"Nine people?" Harry was puzzled, he counted the people who were present now.

He, Hermione, Neville, Malfoy, Cedric, Snape.

Even if Lupin was included, there were only seven people, where did the nine come from?

Lupin smiled: "Of course, I can't be counted."

He suddenly waved his finger, and a small figure suddenly flew out of thin air from the corner of the hall and fell on the long table.

It was a mouse.

Fred immediately stepped forward, picked up the mouse's tail, and said with a smile: "Ron, don't think about taking it back from me unless you spend ten Galleons."

This mouse is Scabbers.

At this time, Banban, who was being held upside down, looked extremely terrified and wanted to bite Fred's hand.

On the other side, the big black dog was dumbfounded and motionless.

His expression was extremely shocked, as if he had seen something completely unexpected.

In this confusion, he didn't even take action immediately.

"Interesting."

Katum saw everything that happened at this time.

He found something interesting.

"Fred, Cedric, Snape, Sirius, Peter Pettigrew, and Lupin.

"It seems that these guys didn't live to the end of Harry Potter?"

Except for Hermione, Neville, Malfoy and Harry, the others are all dying people in the future.

Strictly speaking, Harry died once in the end.
