Harry Potter and the Burnt Badger

Seeing his uncle's appearance, Moon couldn't help but feel a little funny. He could hold it in at first, but after only holding it in for a few seconds, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.Golov was confused at first and didn't know what Moon was laughing about, but after a few seconds, he started laughing too.

As for what he was laughing at, it didn't seem to be that important.

…………

Early in the morning, midnight.

Randall was still in the ward. He came out earlier, but he just wanted to see the situation. When he learned that everything was okay, he returned to the ward.

Moon and Golov were still sitting in the corridor, chatting. Most of the chat was about the little kids at home. During this period, Golov also asked Moon on a whim. Moon didn't say anything about his future thoughts - his dream career is to find a place to work quietly as a salted fish, but this can't be put on the table clearly, right?

When the minute hand passed the last second of [-]:[-], a beautiful silver-white dog suddenly jumped out from the stairs and ran straight to Moon and Golov before stopping and grinning. It barked twice silently (that is, it only made barking movements without making any sound), and then dissipated.

Seeing this scene, Moon was still a little confused, but Golov stood up directly, took out the wand at the same time, walked towards the window, and said in a deep voice: "This is your uncle's patron saint. I made an agreement with him before. If a battle is about to begin, ask him to send the patron saint up, and I will know when I see it."

Only then did Moon realize that he had known that his uncle could release a physical patron saint, but this was the first time he had seen Edgar's physical patron saint with his own eyes.

To be honest, the big dog just now was really pretty, but his eyes looked a little too... wild and unruly.

Speaking of which, that big dog looks a bit like...

Husky?

Well, it goes well.

Moon shook his head vigorously to clear these messy thoughts from his mind, then he also took out his wand, stood up and walked to the window.

Chapter 1 The trigger for the confrontation

At first glance, it was still peaceful outside. There were almost no people on the street. There was only a drunk man staggering slowly from one end of the street to the other.

But if you look carefully, you can find that in some hidden corners and shadows, you can vaguely see a figure shaking slightly.

"Don't worry, pay attention to the drunkard." Golov whispered, and raised his hand to open the window. "That's a real drunkard. He is likely to become the fuse of the fight."

Moon nodded and did not say much. Instead, he followed what Golov said and focused most of his attention on the drunken man.

The drunkard was still walking forward one step at a time, obviously drinking more than usual. In just a dozen steps, he almost fell to the ground two or three times.

Fortunately, Munn never lacked patience. Even if the drunkard walked very slowly, the silence under the night continued.

Until the drunk man was about to reach the crossroads not far in front of Qingzhen Department Store.

A sudden ray of silver light suddenly cut through the darkness and went straight to the drunkard. Like a fleeting lightning on a rainy night, it was about to disappear into the drunkard's body in an instant.

The Aurors who were always watching the development of the situation took action at the same time. Moon keenly captured the movement in the darkness at the corner of the street. One of the Aurors gently waved the wand in his hand, and the drunk man who was already confused was stunned. Han could no longer maintain his final balance and fell to the ground, narrowly avoiding the silver light coming towards him.

At the same time, another Auror also took action. He first knocked out the drunkard who was lying on the ground and trying to get up. Then he shook his hand and threw a long rope burning with flames. He threw it towards the darkness on the other side of the street.

During this period, Golov always held the wand, ready to attack, but did not take action.

He has found the place where several of the dark wizards are hiding, but it's not time for him to take action yet.

"Moon, go to the ward and keep an eye on Randall and his mother. Don't let anyone in unless it's me, Edgar or Professor Snape."

Listening to Golov's solemn instructions, Moon was of course eager to join the battle - and to be honest, Moon felt that he could still play a big role.But he knew very well that in comparison, protecting the mother and child in the ward was more important. Relatively speaking, he was not only the most suitable person to enter the ward to serve as a guard, but also if he was in the ward, If someone really rushes in, he, a young man who looks about the same size as Randall, can actually have some unexpected and miraculous effects.

Therefore, he was unambiguous, immediately agreed, and went straight to the ward without any hesitation.

Because he left the window, he had no idea what was happening outside, but at the last moment before entering the ward, he heard explosions coming from outside the window.

There is no doubt that the war has completely begun.

In the ward, Randall's mother was still in a coma, her breath was weak, and her complexion was sallow.The main light in the room was not turned on, and only the bedside table lamp shone with a cold white light. Randall was sitting next to the hospital bed, but when he saw Munn suddenly rushing in, and the noise coming from outside, he also made some guesses. , asked very worriedly: "Is there... a fight starting outside?"

"Yes." Moon confirmed Randall's guess, looked at Randall at the same time, and whispered: "Where is the box I asked you to take? Is it still there?"

Randall nodded vigorously, and then pulled out a large wooden suitcase from under the bed. The metal nameplate on the top of the box had "M·F" printed on it, as well as a small Shafiq family emblem, and the handle There is also a delicate small metal lock hanging next to it.

Moon took the box from Randall, squatted down, took out a beautiful golden key from the velvet bag he carried with him, and unscrewed the lock on the box. However, he did not open the box, but pushed the box to the On the side of the bedside, he said to Randall at the same time: "Remember this position. If something...not good happens later, I will tell you what to do. This concerns you and your mother." Don’t forget to save your life, and you must do as I say when the time comes.”

"Okay, I understand." Randall agreed with a firm tone.

Moon naturally also saw that Randall was actually a little nervous now, so he smiled reassuringly at him, "Don't worry, there is a high probability that nothing will happen. The box is just in case. "

Randall was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Naturally, his nervousness could not be completely eliminated so easily, but Moon's words did provide some comfort.

"Okay, stay with your mother. I'll check the situation by the window." Moon dragged a chair to the door, held it against the door, then strode to the window, and continued to look outside, hoping to see something.

Unfortunately, the main battlefield is located on the street outside the gate of St. Mungo's, but the window of the ward where Moon's mother is looking out is the street behind St. Mungo's. Therefore, Moon can see All that was seen was some vague, reflected light.

While waiting in the afternoon and evening, Moon specifically asked Uncle Golov about the general situation here. Although they had no way of knowing the detailed defense status of the Aurors, the protection of St. Mungo's itself and the Aurors except for the manpower They can still have a little understanding of what they did besides setting up defenses.

According to Uncle Golov, because St. Mungo's is a hospital and often receives emergency patients, Apparition is not prohibited, and no anti-Apparition spell is imposed.However, when encountering some special circumstances, St. Mungo's will be protected by an anti-Apparition spell, and the entry channel will be temporarily closed, and personnel will review it internally and allow it to pass.If not, Munn and the others wouldn't have had several wands pointed at their chests when they came in during the day.

In other words, the current St. Mungo's cannot be entered through apparation. If Forrest Dempsey and his dark wizards want to break into it, they will have to deal with the Saint roughly. Mango's protective magic requires him to rush in directly from the front door.

Munn glanced out the window again. Probably because he was in London, the dark wizards and Aurors outside did not make much noise in their fight. This also made Munn want to learn more by obtaining more information. The war situation has become a fantasy.

Chapter 1 and Four Start the War

In terms of this battle alone, Auror's condition was actually even worse.

First of all, when Kingsley left St. Mungo's, the group of Aurors he took with him included many elites. After Kingsley left, not only did the Auror defenses become a little weaker, but a considerable number of them were also missing. Vigorous.

More importantly, even if you don't take these into account, the Aurors do not have an advantage when fighting against the dark wizards - it is not that the Aurors are worse than the dark wizards, but because in comparison, the Aurors are inferior to the dark wizards. Luo people tend to have more scruples when taking action, and they are more likely to be restrained when taking action against the enemy.

There's no way around it, it's no longer the era when you can freely use the Unforgivable Curse on dark wizards who have committed serious crimes, such as Death Eaters.

Back when Barty Crouch was still the favorite to win the position of Minister of Magic, Barty Crouch at that time was not only ambitious, but also a high-ranking official who would do anything to catch criminals. .Unfortunately, by the time he personally sent his son, Barty Crouch Jr., to Azkaban, his reputation and reputation had plummeted.Not to mention, if Barty Crouch Jr. hadn't plunged into the Death Eaters' pit, and finally sent himself all the way to Azkaban, his current position as Minister of Magic would not be the same. It will be Cornelius Fudge's turn.

2 minute later.

While Moon was still thinking about how he could participate more in the melee between the two sides, or at least be able to see some of the fights between the Aurors and the dark wizards, Randall had remained silent. Suddenly he asked: "Moon, what should we do now?"

"Just do whatever you have to do, just protect your mother, you don't need to worry about the rest.

Munn was obviously telling the truth. He was so excited and wanted to go out and fight the dark wizards, mainly because he confirmed that he had sufficient self-protection capabilities. Even if he really encountered a dark wizard that he could not defeat, he would still You can just apply oil on the soles of your feet and walk away.

What if it were Randall?

Escape?Not to mention escaping, there's no telling whether Randall can catch a spell.

When he thought about this, another person suddenly popped up in Moon's mind, which made him even more worried.

That's Professor Snape.

After arriving at St. Mungo's, after everyone separated and Professor Snape went to check on the injury alone, Moon never saw Professor Snape again.This is no reason for Munn not to worry.After all, no one knows where this elusive professor has gone, and no one can guarantee what he will do now that this conflict has broken out.

However, no matter how worried he was, it was useless. He couldn't run out of the ward and go all over the hospital to find Professor Snape.If he left, and ten or eight strong dark wizards with wands broke into the ward, he would be in a huge loss.

Just as Munn was thinking about these random things, outside the window, the main battlefield between the Aurors and the dark wizards suddenly shifted -

A golden light suddenly floated from the tip of the staff swung by an Auror, heading straight for a dark wizard who had just been knocked away.Before the unlucky dark wizard could get up from the ground, he was already tightly tied up by the golden rope conjured by the Auror.

As if it was a signal, the dark wizards began to fight and retreat, slowly retreating towards the street.

The Aurors who were inside did not notice anything strange. After the dark wizards' counterattack intensity decreased, they immediately began to follow up, hoping to take the opportunity to completely suppress the dark wizards.

Moon, who was standing at the window above, was outside and could see clearly - this battle was as if someone had arranged the overall situation. The dark wizards did not panic at all when they fought and retreated, even if This was still the case under the intensified onslaught of the Aurors.It's like a chess game, in which the wizards and even the spells cast by the wizards have become chess pieces. Between you and me, everything is doomed.

Maybe it was the number of people who fell, or maybe it was the strength of the Aurors' offensive. In short, it was obvious that the retreat of the dark wizards was not really a decline, but that they realized that the time had come, so they began to act according to their original plan. .

As for the Aurors, it was obvious that they had been led away by the dark wizards unknowingly.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be done - anyway, as the defensive side, theoretically speaking, the Aurors only need to fight well in positional warfare.But the problem is that Fudge is not satisfied with this. His order to the Aurors is not to "protect St. Mungo's into a monolith", but to "find a way to catch Forest Dempsey and bring this guy down." Take it back and process it."

It was precisely because of this that the Aurors followed the guidance of the dark wizards and came to the street to continue fighting with the dark wizards. Moon was also able to actually see the two sides who had moved the battlefield and were fighting outside from the window of the ward.

While paying attention to the fighting situation below, Moon began to patrol around the streets with his eyes.

If possible, he wanted to find Forrest Dempsey's spot.

Before Moon's eyes could scan the entire street, suddenly, a dull loud noise came from downstairs. At the same time, both Moon and Randall felt the floor under their feet and the walls around them—— The whole building might even be shaking.

Moon didn't dare to neglect, but there was really nothing to grab around, so he had no choice but to grab the curtain.Fortunately, he was not fat or overweight, so even though the curtain made an unbearable "scream", it still held up firmly and did not let Moon fall to the ground.

In contrast, Randall's condition was much better. When the ground shook, he was sitting next to the hospital bed, so he only needed to reach out and hold on to the guardrail next to the hospital bed to keep his balance smoothly.But this little guy obviously wanted to protect his mother more, so when Moon turned his head, he clearly saw that Randall was pressing his mother's shoulders with his hands to prevent the shock from getting worse.

"What's going on...?" Seeing that the shaking seemed to have stopped temporarily and everything around him became stable again, Randall looked up at Moon and asked full of doubts and confusion: "Yes... Was there an earthquake?”

"If it was an earthquake, it would be fine..." Moon looked out the window again with an ugly expression. Sure enough, in just a short while, the battlefield began to move back to its original position, and the Aurors were retreating. Side fight, trying to get back to the street where the St. Mungo's gate is.

This further confirmed Moon's conjecture. He took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid this place, the entrance to St. Mungo's, has been completely lost."

"Be prepared, Randall, we may face danger at any time..."

Chapter 1 The Dark Mark

Sure enough, after a while, the two heard dense explosions and curses starting to come from the corridor through the door. Among the chaos, Moon also vaguely heard Uncle Golov's voice.

Randall was dazed beside the bed for a while, then finally reacted, pulled out his wand, and stared at the door with a stern face, as if someone would rush in from there the next moment.

Moon looked out the window again. There was no one in sight on the street next door. Everyone was probably moving to the hospital, whether they were dark wizards occupying the attacking side or Aurors occupying the defending side. them.

He was a little helpless. To be honest, from the moment the dark wizard opened the door of St. Mungo's, Fudge had completely lost.Even if he managed to capture Forrest in the end, the fact that the Aurors failed to guard St. Mungo's would be enough to give Fudge a headache for a month or two.

what is this?Destroy the Great Wall?

Just when the two little wizards in the room had different thoughts and were wary of the movement outside the door, the door of the ward was suddenly knocked lightly.

Moon didn't answer. No one could guarantee whether there was a dark wizard outside, testing rooms from room to room.

Fortunately, the next moment, Professor Snape's deep voice sounded outside - among the endless sounds of fighting, his voice was not very obvious. Fortunately, Moon and Randall finally heard it clearly.

Moon breathed a sigh of relief. The elusive professor finally showed his face. He held the wand in one hand and did not rush to open the door. Instead, he pointed the wand at the door and silently motioned for Randall to go over and open the door.

Randall nodded knowingly, quickly came to the door and pulled out the stool holding the door, then stood behind the door and slowly opened the door.

A dark figure flashed into the room. With its wide cloak and huge hooked nose, it was indeed Professor Snape.

Snape also saw the wand held by Moon. Of course, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and actually quite agreed with it.Therefore, after coming in, he gave Moon a rare nod instead of making sarcastic remarks, and then said: "You two, pack your things, take Randall's mother, and follow me upstairs. The situation in the building is tense and it is no longer safe here.”

He rarely explained a few more words. Moon looked into his eyes and tested with Legilimency. After confirming the level of Occlumency of the man in front of him, he quickly responded: "Okay, Randall, please mention box, I used a spell to take Auntie behind.”

As he spoke, Moon waved his wand and used a movement spell to carefully levitate Randall's mother from the bed and come to his side.Randall was hesitant to speak, but after thinking about it, he hurried over and picked up Moon's wooden box.

Professor Snape didn't hesitate, pushed the door completely open, and stepped into the corridor first.

The sounds of fierce fighting downstairs were still ringing out one after another. The three of them did not dare to show any nostalgia and strode upstairs.But when they reached the junction of the stairs between the third and fourth floors, Professor Snape suddenly stopped the two teenagers. At the same time, he turned sideways and pointed his wand forward.

Moon's reaction was only a beat too slow. While he controlled Randall's mother with his wand and moved her completely behind him, he looked at the stairs with a serious face.

He didn't know how Professor Snape noticed that there was someone in front of him, but he did feel a wave of emotion on the empty stairs in front of him - at the moment when the three of them appeared.

Randall was a little strange at first, but the next moment, there was a strong look of fear in his eyes, and even his body couldn't help but tremble.

The first thing that came was the sound of the cloak sliding down.Immediately afterwards, a thin, tall, sinister man with gray hair, wearing a robe that was almost the same color as his hair, appeared on the stairs.

Although his face looked a little old and withered, it was still possible to see that his facial features were somewhat similar to Randall's.

"Severus Snape." The sinister man, Forest Dempsey, spoke first. His voice was hoarse and his tone was very calm. "When did you become a lackey of the Ministry of Magic?" ?Didn’t I hear that you are still working for the Dark Lord? Since you know that I am here, why don’t you just hand those two people over to me."

Randall looked at Snape in horror, while Moon lowered his head slightly.

Snape also remained calm. He didn't make any move, and his wand was still pointed at Forrest Dempsey. "Who I work for doesn't seem to have much to do with you. It's my life in Azkaban these past few years." Did you let your thoughts disappear along with your emotions? Why should I leave them in your hands?"

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Forest Dempsey's face. He whipped out his wand, but instead of casting a spell on the three people below, he slowly lifted up his sleeves with the tip of the wand.

Little by little, the broad sleeves of the off-white robe were lifted open until a mark was revealed underneath - a pale, huge skull [Note 1] spitting out a giant python.

The moment he saw this mark, even Severus Snape couldn't help but look shocked, but a look of understanding appeared on Moon's face.

"I showed you mine, and you should also show me yours." Forrest still kept a smile on his face. "Or you can just hand those two people over to me."

Snape was silent for three seconds, and then said: "A fake Dark Mark? You really do everything you can, Forest Dempsey. I don't remember you joining the Dark Lord before. .”

When he heard the dean of his college, Professor Snape, say the title "Dark Lord" himself, Randall almost turned around and ran away, but fortunately Munn caught him, otherwise his behavior would be similar to Seeking death is no different.

"How do you know that this mark was not branded recently? The Dark Lord is not dead. Do you know it later than me?" Forrest Dempsey's smile began to become playful. "Or, You actually really..."

"Have you become Albus Dumbledore's lackey?"

-

[Note 1] The Dark Mark branded on the Death Eaters is regarded as a symbol of being a member of Voldemort's core legion. When it is not activated, it is bright red in color, and when activated, it will appear black.But now that Voldemort has lost power and he himself has become a ghost and has no power, the Dark Mark will begin to fade away.After Voldemort is completely dead, the Dark Mark will even become an ordinary scar.
