The fire girl and Maria were the same as always, guarding the entrance and exit of Yanan tepidly. Every day they cleaned the house, read the newspaper, planted flowers and played with birds, talked about the world, and did not do any serious business. The British Ministry of Magic applied... Of course, this is also because the Healing Church was destroyed, the ancient kings received lunch boxes one after another, and the burden on them was carried away by Leeds, so life was so leisurely.
Anyway, after doing nothing for eight months, the person they were waiting for came to the summer vacation happily again~~
"Maria, fire girl, Sakuya didn't come this time, we'll depend on you for the meal at night." Although it was only a "maid candidate", Liz could call them how they wanted.
The fire girl gently bent her knees and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, young master, I have some confidence in my current cooking skills."
"Ahhhh~ It seems that I have another qualified maid~ The manpower allocation of the castle is a bit too generous." Liz laughed, turning to look at Jack Baldo and Solar, seeing that they had already changed their own After getting dressed and changing back to Onion Knight and Sun Knight, he said to the regular administrator of this place, "Maria, it's alright."
"Yes." Maria waved her hand and cast the magic that only she mastered, opening the passage to Yanan.
However, as soon as the passage was opened, and before the three of Liz entered, a white and transparent ghost floated out slowly - how the ghosts in the wizarding world were formed, Liz still hadn't figured out, and most of them had lost their way. Yes, but some people can stay in the world for a long time after death, and there are a lot of ghosts flying around in Hogwarts every day to accompany the students.
"Huh?" It stands to reason that you don't need to be surprised, let alone panic, to meet a ghost in this world. Even a dark wizard as powerful as Voldemort has become a rookie because he can't hold a wand, but after Liz saw the ghost, he subconsciously felt Raise the magic sword.
Because it was the ghost of a bald man with a spear and a giant shield.
"And, it's you again?!" The bald-headed male ghost also exclaimed when he saw Liz.
"I remember your name is... Patch?" After more than a year, Liz can still remember his name, and what this guy did is so memorable, "You're too indomitable, aren't you? You didn't get caught on the spot by me. Even if you burn to death, can you still exist in the form of a ghost?"
"Old friend, don't be like this, there is just a little misunderstanding between us~" Patch hurriedly put on a smile, his eyes fixed on the magic sword in Liz's hand, as a 100% pure ghost, he was from magic A strong sense of oppression was felt on the sword.
"Yeah, someone wanted to kick me down the stinky ditch and grab my weapon the first time they met, and the second time they said they wouldn't let me go even if they died..." Liz said lightly.
"Oh! That's just a joke, humorous~" Patchy raised his hands and laughed, "I've turned into a ghost, how can I hurt you? Are you right?"
Liz shook his head, put down the magic sword, and waved his hand backwards: "...Forget it, for the sake of not killing you completely twice, let's go. By the way, I hope you find a way to resurrect."
"Oh~~ You are such a good man with a big heart, Merlin will bless you!" Patchy flashed decisively.
Two years later...
"I always tell Astoria, don't go in when you see such a weird place... I didn't expect to set foot in this kind of thing again and again."
Malfoy faced the white fog door in front of him, sighed heavily, pulled a cart with a lot of weapons, and walked into the fog... The fog emitted by the fog demon is colorless and tasteless, no It will affect the breathing of ordinary people, and there is not even the least wet feeling. Malfoy just felt a slight resistance on his body, and walked over as soon as his eyes were white.
After walking out of the foggy door, Malfoy couldn't help but stare at the fire girl who came out behind, "This is... Hogwarts?"
The fire girl explained: "The demon of fog links multiple locations together. Under the auspices of Dumbledore, the scattered wizards gathered in Hogwarts, the most spacious space, to use the castle as a stronghold to fight against the Dementors."
"Hmph, worthy of being Dumbledore~" Malfoy snorted coldly. He was mocking the big men who were rushing over from all over the hall, the Minister of European Magic Headquarters, the Minister of British Ministry of Magic, and senior officials of various departments. It's useless all the time, and an old man who is about to die is required to take the lead.
"Draco Malfoy, why did you appear now!?" The head of the European Magic Headquarters was the first to speak, an old man who thought it would be safe to stay at the headquarters far away from the UK, but was mercilessly involved.
"I promised my girlfriend to travel around the world before marrying her. I played outside for a few months, and I didn't know anything about this place." Malfoy glanced coldly from left to right, "Why, do you have any opinions? How about if you don't put me in confinement?"
"You!?" Everyone's teeth itch with hatred, but their hearts are also cold, and they finally know what the situation is now.
"Cough cough," Fudge, who was used to dealing with upright villains like Liz and Malfoy, stood up to smooth things out at this time, "Mr. Malfoy, the situation is critical now, everyone is a little impatient, please forgive me."
Dumbledore, who looked a little tired, continued: "…Child, our magic is very difficult to deal with those monsters, and now we can only rely on you."
"Don't worry, I've come for this purpose," said Malfoy, who carried out the core idea of "pretending to be as cool as Professor Leeds", "but I can't do it alone. Need some help."
Behind Sirius Black shouted loudly: "That's what it should be, everyone here will fight with you!"
"My old life, take it if you need it!" Moody said solemnly.
A considerable number of adult wizards and wizard apprentices in the hall shouted in response. They have been trapped in the castle for the past few months. If it weren't for the large food reserves at Hogwarts, they would all starve to death. The only hope now appears, they muster the last resistance - however, only "part" of this is the case, few Slytherin students respond, one by one shrugging their heads and pretending to be turtles, they always feel that they can understand Mal Why was Fu being classified into this academy
"Professor Leeds has a small extracurricular class. He is not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs." The crowd was very enthusiastic, but Malfoy did not want to lead a large group of people to hunt monsters, "I only need the people I designate, the others Don't follow me, you want to deal with monsters and go your own way!"
The enthusiasm of the crowd was instantly extinguished.
"I need a helper who is good at magic and alchemy, Hermione Granger, come out." This was the only helper Malfoy called directly.
Hermione took a deep breath, didn't say no, and walked out from her boyfriend's side.
Malfoy glanced at her: "I know you don't like me, and I don't like you, but you're not a pig anyway."
"!" Although these words were ugly, Hermione at least knew that Malfoy really needed her own strength.
Malfoy pointed to the cart that he pulled over, which had all his used hunter weapons on it. "I need two strong men who can help me carry replacement weapons and can run later."
"I'm coming." Victor Krum was unequivocal, and came out first.
"Hoho~ Are you going to accompany your girlfriend?" Hermione and Krum were already hugging each other, no matter what Malfoy said.
"… the other one, I'll do it." This time it was Cedric who came out.
As a side note, both Krum and Cedric are graduates, just getting involved elsewhere... Krum is in the city where the European Magic HQ is located, Cedric itself is the British Ministry of Magic employees.
"Finally, I need a bait that knows how to sacrifice at a critical moment... It's you to attract the attention of the monster, I will attack behind the monster, and finally can I survive to see myself, don't rely on me." Malfoy will not Said that he had played such a role, and his remarks also restored what Leeds said.
This time, there was a brief silence in the hall, which was almost the job of sending people to death.
"I-I'll do it." Unexpectedly, the first one to stand up was Neville Longbottom. Even though he was bowing his head and his body was still shaking, he was the first to stand up.
Sirius Black said immediately: "No, leave this job to me. In this space where magic brooms, apparitions, port keys, and Floo powder can't be used, I should be the most flexible wizard." He can change Form a big black dog and run faster than anyone else.
It's just that the decision is in Malfoy's hands, "Oh, the older generation just sit down, don't stop the younger generation from rising... Longbottom, it's just you, I will try to minimize the occasions where you are sent to death."
"I don't have time for you to adjust your mentality, Krum, Cedric, pick up your weapons and follow me." Malfoy, who was full and slept, walked towards the main entrance of the hall, ignoring others. go.
Sudden…
"Huh?" Malfoy saw the bald ghost in the corner of the hall with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley at a glance, a little familiar...
Stop and look a few more times, this smooth head, this spear, this big shield, no matter how you look at it, "… Patch?"
"Huh? You know me?" Patch was still wondering how Malfoy's clothes could be Yanan's style.
"Ah... I had two summer vacations, and I followed Professor Liz to Yanan, and I followed him almost the whole time."
"… "
"… "
Awkward silence looking at each other...
"Nothing...you have fun, old friend."
"Well, be careful when you hunt, old friend."
Anyway, I've been looking at Harry and Ron for a long time, and Malfoy thinks it doesn't matter if "Friendly Patch" is left.
