Time does not speed up or slow down because of people's appeals. At this time, the "planned" trial is over a week away.
Under deliberate suppression, the news of Malfoy's "justice" has not yet spread, but today's Daily Prophet has published this news, and is waiting for those strong owls to send the news from these newspapers to in the hands of every household.
A snowflake-like envelope will be sprinkled on every institution today, announcing his return.
And Malfoy himself also embarked on the journey back to school in the early morning.
The Hogwarts Express usually only departs at fixed times, such as when school starts and holidays, because there are a lot of student traffic at this time, only this kind of train with a large passenger traffic can meet the demand, and it does not usually run, it will cause a lot of waste.
The wizard's train, of course, consumes the energy of the wizard, which does not mean that it can be squandered wantonly.
However, under the strong request of Lucius, even if there was only one passenger this time, the express train started as an exception.
For some ostentation, but also to show its formality.
Narcissa didn't like to see her children use the Floo powder network that would make them look ashamed after use.
Announcement of return, always in a formal way.
The sky has not yet dawned, and there is still a drowsy scene outside the car window, a piece of silence, only the metal symphony of the steel wheels rubbing against the rails at the bottom of the train body.
It seemed to be very cold outside, the cold air condensed into a layer of water mist and adhered to the inside of the window, Malfoy stretched out his index finger, and wiped it lightly a few times, with the help of the dim lights in the compartment, the people outside the train The scene became clear immediately.
The continuous forest and the mountains stretch along this railway, and there is no end in sight. The thick fog envelopes them, giving a faint sense of gloom. Except when passing through a few curves with large curvature, most of the trains It runs very smoothly all the time.
In the dark of dawn.
He saw two or three owls fluttering their wings, lowering their flight path, and walking side by side with the train.
Then, a ray of light before dawn began to emerge from among the clouds, piercing through the dim sky, swaying down wantonly, turning from dark to bright, shaking his eyes a little sore.
At this time, the train suddenly shook a few times and stopped suddenly. There was a dull sound, as if it had hit something. The owl flying side by side outside the window was frightened, and was startled away, swishing towards the forest beside it. Drilled in.
Actually speaking, there is still some inexplicable atmosphere that fits a horror story. A train with only one passenger was driving in the dark, and then the train broke down and stopped suddenly.
What's next
no one knows.
But horror stories are scary because the audience is ordinary people. For wizards, what they fear is unknown magic.
It seems that there is something wrong with the train, which is very rare for trains.
Malfoy closed his eyelids and waited for a while, but it still didn't start, and he felt a little doubtful in his heart.
He raised his wand, and released from his cuff a dim, pale yellow spherical object with a black eyeball inside, swirling in the eye socket, emitting a faint yellow color in the dark carriage. Fluorescent, this is a loot obtained during the travel adventure.
It can be released to observe a part of the field of vision and share with yourself.
Of course, the patron saint summoned by the patron saint spell also has this effect, but it looks a bit conspicuous, not suitable for use in a dark environment, and it will also cause a certain level of exposure.
Not long after it flew out, it rose slightly to a certain height and gained a wider view. At the front end of the train, the front of the train was smashed to pieces, several pieces of crimson iron sheets were smashed, and the wheels were smashed. The twisted track got stuck.
Several huge giants were still waving the trunks of the uprooted giant trees, using them to hit the front of the express train wantonly, and the huge impact caused the entire carriage to shake.
Then soon Malfoy suddenly heard the howling of some werewolves, the sharp sound pierced the glass of the car window, as if to shatter them, after a few violent shakes, the sharp roar penetrated into his The ears turned desperately.
On the plain not far away, dozens of werewolves with manes all over their bodies roared and rushed towards the train frantically.
"Fluorescent flickering!"
And Malfoy immediately stood up from his seat, cast a lighting spell at the same time, and approached the front of the train.
It may have been an ambush set by Voldemort, an ambush set for the students who were going home.
No matter how you look at it, both the time and the object are wrong.
Sure enough, you can't have too much expectation of the werewolf's IQ.
Today should be an accident, they smelled the smell of strangers, only a very small part came, it was their spontaneous behavior.
If there is really a plan, there must not be such a small amount that a teacher can handle.
Most of the werewolves who obeyed Voldemort lacked wisdom and judgment, and mostly acted on instinct. When needed, they could understand some simple orders.
I met them here, maybe they were ambushed in advance to attack the students when the train returned to school.
But obviously, the time was wrong, the wrong people met at the wrong time, and Malfoy decided not to entangle with them.
He balanced his body, quickly walked through the carriages, reached the front of the car, and then opened the window, and the cold wind blew in immediately, as if a sharp knife was scraping his face.
Malfoy didn't care, but stretched out his wand and waved it continuously, a series of faint and inconspicuous lights flashed from the tip of the wand, and then shot over.
Out of defensive instinct, the giant lifted up the trees to cover them, and broadly protected their bodies. The faint light of the spell was not conspicuous at dawn when the sky was dark, but it was still blocked by the thick trees.
But they don't understand the meaning of the spell, or they wouldn't do it.
Because the mantra is - "Back to the original!"
A powerful force spontaneously came from the tree trunks in their hands, directly breaking free from the giants' grip, and flew towards the foggy jungle not far away.
They looked at their empty hands stupidly, their eyes were dull, as if they didn't understand what happened at all.
Why did he suddenly fly away after spending all his strength to pull out the broken weapon.
Then something even more bizarre happened in their eyes. Those broken pieces of iron scattered around the track miraculously jumped up automatically, as if an invisible hand quickly reassembled them and quickly restored them.
"Woooooooooo..." The train's sudden whistle startled them again, and the werewolf was frightened and receded like a tide.
And the giant looked at his body which had subconsciously moved away from the train that had already accumulated kinetic energy, and took a few steps back.
After all there is no formed resistance organized
Malfoy didn't want to spend too much time with them.
He is inexplicably sad now.
This meant that he might miss breakfast at Hogwarts, and a ceremonial return should be missed. Of course, this could also be postponed until the evening.
There may also be some problems with the first class.
"It's not a good sign to be late for school on the first day." Malfoy returned to his seat, looked at the receding scenery outside the window, and sighed inwardly.
Most of the werewolves who obeyed Voldemort lacked wisdom and judgment, and mostly acted on instinct. When needed, they could understand some simple orders.
But it was clear that the time was wrong, and I met the wrong person at the wrong time.
Such tossing for a while, wasted a lot of his time.
It is foreseeable that the route of the Hogwarts Express is not necessarily safe.
