Chapter 156 The Death of Harry Potter
A few days have passed since the Banquet of the God of War.
Everything was calm and peaceful, just like normal campus life, as if what happened that night was just a dream.
But this made Bruce feel that this was just the calm before the storm.
Bruce is going to his first Care of Magical Creatures class today.
Although he, like Hermione, had chosen almost all courses, it did not mean that his schedule was exactly the same as Hermione's.
Hufflepuffs take many classes together with Ravenclaw.
Professor Newt's class was held in a small paddock outside the Forbidden Forest. Bruce, holding the "Monster Book of Monsters", followed the large group forward.
While walking, he heard several Ravenclaw girls whispering.
"It is true that we haven't found it yet..."
"The professor didn't allow us to tell anyone..."
"Ravenna always does things her own way..."
Bruce vaguely heard Ravenna's name and was immediately attracted to it. He leaned over and joined the conversation of the group of girls.
"Were you talking about Ravenna?"
Bruce asked, "What happened to her?"
"Oh, hi, hello, Bruce!"
A little witch greeted Bruce with a blushing face, "Do you know Ravenna? She is our second-year Ravenclaw student."
"I know her." Bruce nodded. "What happened to her?"
"disappeared."
Another girl chimed in, "She disappeared a few days into the semester. We told Professor Flitwick about it and he said he would go look for her, but there has been no news since."
"Maybe he ran back home by himself."
The girl just now said, "She doesn't have a good relationship with her classmates and always stays alone. Maybe there is some reason behind it."
Bruce didn't respond, he was still shocked by the news he just received.
Ravenna is missing?
How can it be!
Others may not know Ravenna's identity, but how could Bruce not know it?
That was Ravenclaw himself. Why would he suddenly disappear without a trace?
"Katum, what do you think?"
Bruce asked, "Do you think Ravenna disappeared on her own initiative, or did she encounter an accident?"
If an accident happened, it would be a big deal.
Anyone who can defeat Ravenclaw silently is definitely not an ordinary person!
“I can’t draw any conclusions now.”
Catum said, "But you know, the last time Ravenclaw showed up, she said she was going to remove the seal on Gryffindor. I want to know what happened, why don't we go to the room where Gryffindor is sealed first?"
"also!"
At this moment, Bruce had no intention of attending class anymore.
"Let's take this lesson later," he said. "Let's go find Ravenclaw first!"
After all, he is my teacher.
Even though he called her an old woman every day, Bruce didn't really want to see anything happen to her.
"Let's go!"
Katum did not hesitate and immediately left the main force with Bruce and headed into the castle.
As for the Protection of Magical Creatures class, it doesn’t matter.
Professor Newt's first class was probably just about opening the boxes and putting the students in to broaden their horizons.
……
Bruce knew where the room where Gryffindor was sealed was, after all, he had been there.
When they arrived at the room, the door was open and the seal had been lifted.
The place was empty and there were no signs of a fight.
"Ravenclaw and Gryffindor disappeared together?"
Bruce's worries were slightly relieved at this time. With the two founders joining forces, they would not be defeated silently, right?
If this is the case, the enemy's strength is truly terrifying.
"Someone has already investigated this room."
Katum cast a spell, and a series of footprints on the floor stood out in highlight.
"This is Dumbledore's footprint. He always likes to wear boots with soft leather heels. Then this is Professor Green's footprint, and this is Professor McGonagall's..."
As Katum identified, Bruce discovered that almost all the deans had been here.
"Something's wrong."
Bruce said, "If Gryffindor is going to leave the castle, at least he won't leave without saying goodbye. He knows that will bother Dumbledore."
These footprints clearly show that the professors had conducted a detailed investigation in this room.
"correct."
The owl nodded and said, "It means that after the Gryffindor seal was lifted, the person disappeared suddenly without any warning."
The same is true for Ravenclaw.
The current situation has no choice but for Bruce to think of the worst.
Perhaps, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor were really defeated in an instant and then disappeared.
"Who could have done this?"
Bruce could never imagine how powerful this person was.
Not to mention Gryffindor, Ravenclaw has the Dionysus factor in her body, so she is immortal.
How come there is suddenly no news at all?
"Who else could it be? Barbatos's pursuers."
Katum's face was grim, he was thinking frantically in his mind which candidates would be suitable for the current situation.
"Katum, what are you thinking about..."
Bruce had just opened his mouth when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps.
He immediately turned around and hid in a hidden corner of the room, then saw Professor McGonagall running out of the door with a look of horror on her face.
Following behind her was Professor Newt.
Professor Newt!?
He's not in class, why is he here?
"Something happened again."
Katum poked his head in and said, "Bruce, I'll go check it out first. You're too conspicuous. If you follow me, you'll be discovered."
With that, the owl flew out of the room and followed the hurried professor. He heard the conversation between the two professors.
"…Is it true? Minerva, this kind of thing is not something you can joke about!"
"I'm not joking!"
Professor McGonagall sobbed, "It's true, Harry... He was hanging there..."
Harry!?
Katoom knew what was going on.
"Was it a sudden choice, or was it premeditated?"
He murmured, as scenes from the banquet emerged in his mind.
……
The owl followed the professor all the way to a utility room.
This place has been blocked off and no students can enter. Only professors are crowded here.
Before he got close, Katoom heard Snape's cries.
"Harry, no, you can't..."
The owl moved closer and just took a look, the bloody red filled his entire field of vision.
Harry lay in a pool of blood, lifeless.
The entire utility room was completely stained red with blood.
Snape knelt in a pool of blood in front of Harry, wailing, his spirit completely broken.
Harry was dead, really dead.
"Ugh."
Katoom turned his head away, just as he told Bruce before, this kind of thing would happen.
But it doesn't matter, they can salvage everything in the end.
But for those who are not aware of it, it will indeed be painful for a period of time.
A black shadow was rushing towards this side quickly. It was the big black dog that Sirius Black turned into. It had just learned the bad news.
At this point, there is no way to end it.
"Harry!!!"
Sirius let out a heart-wrenching roar, and his entire body instantly transformed from a dog into a human.
He pounced on him, even though Harry's body was already cold, he wanted to hold him in his arms.
Dumbledore stood up suddenly.
He had been looking ashen and slumped down on a stool nearby.
Harry's death was also a pain that the old man could not bear.
"Sirius, it's you."
Dumbledore closed his eyes in pain, "Have you finally come to avenge your master?"
"Get out of the way! Dumbledore! Let me see Harry!"
Sirius looked mad, "He won't die! No!"
Dumbledore waved his wand and knocked Sirius against the wall. The wall instantly deformed, as if it had turned into liquid. Sirius' body slowly sank into it, unable to extricate himself.
"I can give you a chance to explain."
Dumbledore said, "But before that, you must explain how you got into the school!"
"Dumbledore!"
At this time, Professor Snape stood up from the pool of blood, his eyes were red and completely occupied by pain.
"I have something I must tell you!"
"Is it something important?" Dumbledore asked. "Is it convenient to talk about it here?"
Snape looked around and saw the professors' expressions mixed with sadness and curiosity.
"not very convenient."
There was no longer any emotion in Snape's voice. "Let's go to your office and talk."
"Ok."
Dumbledore nodded, waved his wand, and a stone ball emerged from the wall, enveloping Sirius.
"Then let's go there now."
……
The news of Harry's death could not be suppressed.
It wasn't long before the news spread throughout the castle, and everyone fell into extreme panic.
"The whole school is in a state of panic now."
Bruce said, "I don't know if Ares has thought of this situation. The death of a student is an unbearable pain for the school."
He didn't grieve too much for Harry because it was only a temporary death.
A lost life still has a chance to be saved, and a fallen soul still has a chance to be reborn.
The more times like this come, the calmer we should be.
He must be fully prepared to completely reverse the situation.
"If the school continues to have deaths, it will definitely be unable to bear the pressure and suspend classes."
Katum said, “If I’m not mistaken, Ares will also realize this and speed up the progress of the banquet.”
Otherwise, there will never be another chance to hold a banquet.
There was no time left for Ares.
"Whatever he wants."
Bruce's voice had turned cold by now.
He was not sad, but just, for a moment, filled with anger.
"Whether it's the pursuers or Ares, I won't let any of them go!"
Just as he finished speaking, the familiar gong sound suddenly rang out again.
The sound spread throughout the castle.
This indicates that the second banquet will start tonight.
"Sure enough, it's tonight, and it's only been a few days."
Katum shook his head, “Ares should realize the problem with his own rules and make changes.
"I'm curious how he's going to deal with the biggest loophole in his own rules."
