A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 570: The contract that was forced to break
They followed Myrtle and walked quickly towards the girls' bathroom. The only advantage was that the library and the bathroom were on the same floor, so they didn't need to go too far. When he was about to approach the bathroom, Ron suddenly asked, "Myrtle, how did you meet Malfoy? I heard people say that you have a habit of peeking in the prefect's bathroom—"
Myrtle whimpered, and covered her face as she passed through the wall.
Harry and Hermione stared at Ron, and Ron shrugged, "I'm really curious."
"You can shut up." Hermione said, they came to the door of the bathroom where Myrtle usually occupied, Harry listened for a few seconds, and said in a low voice: "I can't hear anything... Cursed."
Harry and Ron turned their heads to look at Hermione. Hermione decisively took out the beaded bag, rummaged for a while, and took out three retractable ears from it.
"Wonderful, I hope the anti-disturbance charm wasn't applied, I'll try...it sure didn't." Harry stuffed one end of the flesh-colored retractable ear into his ear and threw the other end towards the dirty door, and it automatically Get in through the crack of the door.
They listen carefully.
A contrived voice squeezed their throats and reached their ears: "Thinking about it? Or should I let the master give orders to your father directly? Draco, we are all in one team, and we just need a little help from you." A little busy..."
Hermione looked up in horror, "It's that woman, Umbridge! What is she trying to do?"
Draco Malfoy's deep and hoarse voice came out, "I, I can't... sign that contract... No, that contract will kill people."
"As long as you don't try to violate it. Malfoy, do you want to betray your master?"
"I, no..." Malfoy lowered his voice, "Your chances of success are too low, I can't risk my life. I need to think about it for a while, and I will reply to you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I have to ask my dad—"
"Lucius is one of us, you don't think you can stay out of it."
"...I don't think so."
"There's no time to waste, dear Draco. It's just right if you don't agree. I'll report to you right away. Then you decide what will happen to your father." Umbridge said in a sweet voice, listen It looked like an innocent little girl, but the three of Harry couldn't help but shudder when they thought of her big face and the threats she made at this moment.
"What to do?" Hermione turned to look at them.
"What does she mean by the contract—the one that kills people?" Harry asked calmly.
"I guess, it may be an 'unbreakable oath', once signed, it cannot be changed, and there is only one end for breaking it-death." Hermione said softly, "But that requires the presence of a third person."
Sure enough, the voice of the third person appeared. It sounded like a young man's voice: "Sign it, Draco, let me tell you a secret, Dumbledore—the Muggle protector won't live long, the master is just hiding from the edge...he is very Value this task, let us complete it at any cost. You don't want to fail because of you in the end."
It was silent.
"How?" Hermione asked again.
"They must be stopped anyway," said Harry, jumping up, pointing at the door with his wand up,
"Wait." Hermione said, "We don't know what their plan is yet, it's best to let them think it was an accident." She thought for a while, "I have an idea."
"Hermione—"
Hermione had already rushed out. She put on a flustered expression, and wandered back and forth at the door, "Huh? Why is the door locked?" She murmured to herself, and then pulled out her wand, "Alahoo hole is open." The sound-blocking spell at the door was broken, and the bathroom door popped open a crack.
"We all came here at the risk of our lives, why do you—" the man's impatient voice stopped abruptly.
"Hello - is anyone in there? I'm in a hurry to go to the toilet - who put the spell on the door? Was it to stop Myrtle?" said Hermione slowly.
Just a few seconds is too long, it seems that there is no end to it. Harry and Ron, with sweaty palms, stared at Hermione, afraid to hand out a wand glowing green. Unable to wait for the other side to make a decision, Harry shouted impatiently: "Hermione, go and come back, we'll wait for you outside!"
"Yeah, I still want to exchange chocolate frog cards with Dean." Ron shouted.
Hermione said in a hesitant voice: "Oh, wait a minute, something went wrong... It seems that someone is inside..."
"Need help?" Harry yelled at the top of his voice.
Finally, the door opened, and Draco Malfoy said palely, "It's you, Hermione Granger."
"Malfoy?" Hermione said in a surprised voice, "Why are you in the girls' bathroom? I'm going to tell the professor—"
"Don't meddle in your own business! This place is abandoned," Malfoy whispered, "What are you doing here? Where are those two followers, Potter and Weasley?"
"Of course it's going to the bathroom!" Hermione said in a high-spirited voice, "They're outside, unlike you—"
"Go away, get out of the way."
The voice of the conversation kept approaching, and Hermione said in a relentless voice: "Wait, I will definitely tell the professor to deduct points for you and put you in confinement! I will also tell Filch! Let all the girls stare at you. looking at you, you dirty, despicable..."
After hearing this, Harry secretly praised Hermione in his heart, so that the people inside were somewhat scrupulous, and it was difficult to find Malfoy again in a fair manner.
The outline of Malfoy's flaxen hair and pointed chin gradually emerged from the darkness, and his face was sweaty and pale, as if he had just suffered a serious illness. A furious Hermione followed behind.
"Draco Malfoy?" Harry said in mock surprise.
Malfoy gave them a hard look, and turned away without saying a word.
Hermione stopped angrily, until Malfoy's figure disappeared, and she calmly asked in a low voice: "How is it?" "Great." Ron gave a thumbs up, "Where are the people inside? Hermione shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't see it.
"Maybe it's hidden." Harry mouthed, his wand still facing the dark door of the abandoned girls' bathroom.
Hermione didn't go in just now. It would be bad if she got the Imperius Curse. She is not sure to break free from the shackles of the spell~IndoMTL.com~ Ha Yong tapped his wand on Ron and himself, and after the Imperius Curse Under the effect of the effect, the two immediately merged into the dim environment. Hermione followed suit, and they backed away slowly, hiding in the darkness. After waiting quietly for more than ten minutes, they were all a little anxious, when there was a faint movement from inside.
A silver light bloomed in the darkness. It seemed to be a cat, but it looked quite blurry.
Then a chunky woman appeared, she looked left and right, and left in a hurry.
But the three of Harry didn't say anything, they knew there was another person inside. After a while, a young wizard came out and strode away.
The three breathed a sigh of relief until the figure disappeared.
"That man's surname is Avery, we met at the Ministry of Magic before." Hermione said.
They walked back in silence, looking preoccupied. What happened today exceeded their expectations, "They obviously have a conspiracy, it's best to tell the professor." Hermione said, Harry and Ron nodded. Suddenly, the door of the broom room on the second floor opened without a sound, and three hands stretched out from the darkness, trying to drag the three of Harry in.
They reacted almost instantly—Harry opened the Iron Armor Charm, and the barrier clinging to his body swelled into a ball in the blink of an eye, squeezing the messy hands away, and two deep holes flew out of Hermione's beaded bag. Green thorns entangled towards the darkness; Ron took a step back, reciting a spell silently, and white flames quickly condensed from the tip of the staff.
"It's us, Harry," said a very familiar voice.
Harry's heart was pounding, looking at the figure in the dark, he said in disbelief, "Angelina?"
"Come in quickly."'Angelina' said anxiously.
The broom closet door closed behind them.
