Return to the Island
Chapter 393 Return to the Island
--what happened?
Hearing this question, Wade also wanted to ask: What is on my face?
Why is that what everyone who sees him asks.
He subconsciously reached out and touched his face again, but found no wounds or blood on his head.
I looked down at myself again. My clothes were intact. Except for being a little wrinkled from the rain, everything else was fine, just like usual.
"We'll talk about it later."
Before Vader could explain, Madam Pomfrey suppressed her anger and said coldly, "I also asked the Patronus to notify the other deans."
As she spoke, she paced back and forth in the room, trying to release the anger and irritation that was pent up in her chest.
She had completely forgotten there was another patient in the room.
Wade turned his head and accidentally saw a head poking out from the bed curtain, like a hamster sticking its head out of a hole.
That's Astoria, Daphne's sister.
Vader vaguely remembered that she seemed to be marrying Draco Malfoy in the future.
When the two men met eyes, the child was startled and hurriedly raised a finger, winking and begging him not to expose him.
Vader turned his eyes away and pretended not to see it.
This is a ward that can accommodate more than a dozen beds. Astoria in the corner might not be able to hear much from such a distance.
Even if you hear it, knowing the dangers of this world and being more vigilant in the future may not be a bad thing.
While waiting for the others to arrive, Professor Snape had already gone over in his mind the most troublesome guys in his college.
Seeing Madam Pomfrey and Wade, and thinking of the precious potions that were about to leave his storeroom, Snape subconsciously thought of the previous attack by Draco Malfoy.
Well, Malfoy is still fighting with Potter for the Golden Snitch in the sky! Thank Merlin, it wasn't them who caused the trouble.
As for the others...
Flint, Warrington, Montague…are also playing in the arena.
Emmanuel was in the audience, Oswald was next to him... Didn't Trey see it? Crabbe had been restless lately, but he probably didn't have the guts...
Snape thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't figure it out.
The dean of the Snake Institute walked silently to Wade's side, clasped his arms, spread out his robe, and without looking at him, just leaned his body slightly towards him.
Vader: “…”
——You are afraid of Madam Pomfrey, so why shouldn’t I be afraid?
After a moment of silence, he covered his lips with his hand and whispered, "It's not Slytherin, it's related to the underage wizard who disappeared before..."
Snape's eyes lit up slightly, but then he thought of Madam Pomfrey's expression at the moment, and his expression sank again.
Soon, Professors McGonagall, Flitwick, and Sprout all hurried over with puzzled looks on their faces.
"Poppy, the game isn't over yet. What's the matter that's so urgent for you to talk to us about?" Professor McGonagall asked.
She was a veteran Quidditch fan. Today's match was between Gryffindor and their arch-enemy Slytherin. If Madam Pomfrey hadn't urged her very urgently, Professor McGonagall would definitely not be willing to leave the field.
At this time, the four headmasters looked at Madam Pomfrey together.
Madam Pomfrey looked at Vader and nodded.
"Is such that……"
Wade had no choice but to repeat what he had said before.
Because of time constraints, he spoke more concisely this time, but fortunately everyone could understand.
After hearing this, the professors were no less angry than Madam Pomfrey.
"I'll go with you," Professor Snape said briefly, and snorted, "I want to see how powerful those Muggles who dare to use wizards as experimental materials are."
"Don't forget, from what Weed saw, most of the children who were killed were actually Muggles." Professor Flitwick sighed, pulled out his wand and said, "I'll go too."
"Me too." Professor Sprout's eyes were filled with tears. She was angry and sad. When Professor McGonagall started to speak, she said quickly, "Oh, Minerva, don't argue with me about this - someone has to stay in school."
Professor McGonagall is the vice-headmaster and she always has to bear more responsibilities than others.
So she had to regretfully give up her previous idea, nodded and said, "I will send a letter to the Ministry of Magic and Scrimgeour immediately. Perhaps they need to contact the Muggle government to cooperate in placing those children."
She is a rational and fair person. She knows how huge Muggles are. Even if some of them commit terrible crimes, it does not mean that all Muggles have to bear the sin.
Then Professor McGonagall waved her wand, and seconds later four well-maintained brooms flew in through the tiny window.
"These are brooms from my own collection. They are very stable and fly very fast." Professor McGonagall handed them to several professors and said, "Take them. You may need them."
The others also used the Flying Spell to summon things they could use. Except for Professor Snape who also had a small box, the others all had snakeskin bags.
It was obvious that the professors in magic schools all had a treasure chest of unknown capacity, but they usually had to set a good example for their students, so they rarely took it out.
Wade hesitated for a moment - students who applied for all elective courses would receive a time-turner, and this should not be a secret among professors.
The only person he was unsure about was Madam Pomfrey, but judging from her attitude just now, perhaps Madam Pomfrey was also clear.
Vader turned his back to the bed, pulled the time-turner out of his clothes, shook it, and asked, "Professor, Madam Pomfrey, this... you all know it, right?"
"Of course, son," Professor Flitwick replied.
So Wade calmly told him the reason why he returned to school -
"About half an hour later, an Obscurus was born from a tortured and abused child and wreaked havoc on the island. I actually came back because of her."
"Moran..."
Everyone's faces, which were originally just angry, now looked more solemn.
"poor child……"
Professor Flitwick muttered.
"Now that you know it happened, you can't change it." Professor Snape said coldly.
"I know that the one I want to save is another child whose organs were removed. They have a deep bond. If she lives, maybe she can calm the Obscurial down."
"Besides, I think the professors also need to know what they will face once they land on that island," said Weed.
For a moment, no one spoke, each with their own thoughts.
"The time is almost up."
Wade cast a magic spell to remind himself of time. He took out the golden key and held it in his palm. Several professors gathered in a circle and each stretched out a finger and pressed it on the key.
"If you have different opinions, just follow Severus's command." Before leaving, Professor McGonagall said seriously, "The most frightening thing during a battle is that everyone has their own ideas."
"understand!"
Even some of the people who didn't like Snape responded at this time.
The two deans of the Snake Court and the Lion Court looked at each other, silently conveying instructions and responsibilities.
Professor Snape nodded slightly, then his eyes fell on the key, his eyes dark.
"Five, four, three..." Vader counted down softly: "Two..."
He turned his gaze and saw Professor McGonagall unconsciously clasped her hands together, with her index and middle fingers crossed, a gesture of prayer.
"one!"
The strange pulling force appeared again, and Wade's hand was tightly stuck to the key. During the flight, Professor Flitwick next to him would bump into him from time to time, and then he bumped into Professor Snape.
But the eyes can't actually see the people next to them, they only see the streamlined, dazzling lines.
Wade couldn't help but close his eyes. Suddenly, several people fell heavily on the reef, and the salty smell of the sea breeze hit them in the face.
Professor Sprout was closer to the edge and almost slipped off the stone. Fortunately, Professor Snape reached out and grabbed her in time.
"Thank you, Severus," said Professor Sprout.
"Strange, what is that?" Madam Pomfrey said, pointing ahead.
Vader glanced down subconsciously, expecting to see a face swollen by the sea water. When he found nothing, he realized that Madam Pomfrey was referring to a pipe thicker than her thigh embedded in the side of the cliff.
At this time, hot water was flowing out from it, rushing into the sea, with hot steam rising around it.
"This seems to be... cooling water?"
Wade was stunned for a moment, waved his wand, looked at the time again, and then suddenly realized - no wonder Dumbledore gave him twenty minutes.
When they arrived on the island again, the strong magnetic field that Vader had experienced before had just ended.
If it was any earlier, they would have been affected by the magnetic field as soon as they landed, and the landing point of the door key might have deviated, causing several people to fall into the ocean dozens of miles away.
Wade took a deep breath, realized his negligence, secretly noted this lesson, and then quickly introduced the terrain of the island and the location of the laboratory to several professors.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
"Very well, we should go," said Professor Sprout. "If there is a situation -"
"Adapt to the situation!" Professor Flitwick twirled his wand in a beautiful circle and said, "Send Madam Pomfrey and Wade to their destination first."
"Don't think of me as a weak little girl!" Madam Pomfrey looked majestic holding her wand and carrying a suitcase. She said, "I can protect myself!"
"First, transform yourself."
Professor Snape said, and was about to hit Wade when he saw him hit the top of his head with his wand and his body began to disappear from top to bottom.
"Nice spell." The Potions Master muttered, "It seems Dumbledore really taught you a lot."
It sounds a bit sour.
Vader wisely did not correct him - it was actually Lupin who taught him the Disillusionment Charm.
After all of them transformed, they rode on their brooms and flew into the air. As Wade flew up, he looked down unconsciously.
A pale hand was vaguely visible among the distant rocks.
He retracted his gaze and flew to the front.
——Ved’s broom performs best, but he also needs to lead the way.
But the four professors secretly protected him in the middle.
"Don't fly so fast, Wade." Professor Sprout shouted from the side and back, "Don't forget that there are still enemies on the island!"
So Vader slowed down a little, and several of them whizzed through the air above the island.
In fact, they couldn't see each other now, because the broomsticks had also become invisible, but the magic would always help them point to each other's location.
"Boom—boom—boom—"
Huge machines flew into the air, crashed, exploded, and caught fire in some places.
Hundreds of fully armed soldiers ran out of the building, and some of them ran up the tall buildings holding long guns.
"Sniper rifle!"
The knowledgeable Professor Flitwick immediately screamed, "That weapon has a long range, even Dumbledore could be hurt!"
"Pomona, Filius, go and take care of these guys!"
Snape exclaimed.
The two of them immediately turned their brooms and shot downwards.
Professor Flitwick flew towards the guy with the sniper rifle, while Professor Sprout flew lower.
The soldiers on the ground heard the sound of breaking air above their heads and looked up in confusion, only to see a large amount of dust suddenly falling from the sky, sparkling and very beautiful.
The invisible Professor Sprout flew over the soldiers and dropped another large bag of powder.
"Be careful, it's poisonous!"
A soldier shouted loudly, asking everyone to put on gas masks quickly.
In fact, some clever guys put them on as soon as they saw the dust in the sky, but the fine powder still came into contact with their skin.
One after another, they fell down and lay on the ground, fast asleep.
Professor Sprout felt ashamed of his soft-heartedness, then turned his broom and flew towards the other soldiers.
On the other side, Professor Flitwick had already flown behind the soldier who was adjusting the sniper rifle.
The soldier in black felt a chill on his back. He twisted his neck, raised his gun without knowing anything, and took a closer look.
The lens was pitch black, as if the cover of the telescope had been forgotten to be opened.
A beam of light came from the front...
……
Wade was not clear about the scene behind him.
Several people flew directly to the laboratory, but found that it was still heavily guarded and the door was locked, and it seemed that there was no interference from outside.
"Open the Alaho hole!"
Professor Snape used a Confusion Charm to distract the soldiers around him, pointed his wand at the alloy door, the chains inside moved with a creaking sound, and then the door opened with a click.
He stretched out his hand and pushed, but it didn't open.
"what?"
Snape let go of his hand in surprise, thinking that there was some strange mechanism behind the door, but he saw the door open outwards -
As he pushed the door, someone else pushed the door from inside as well.
Snape frowned and took two quick steps back.
A voice came from the crack of the door that was gradually opening.
"…I'll take this one away, and deal with the remaining one as soon as possible."
The man with glasses didn't notice anything was wrong. He walked out with a light blue box, and said to the person next to him:
"The experiments on the third floor also need to be accelerated. The higher-ups are saying that we can use slightly more brutal methods and increase the dosage of the drugs, but just don't let them die."
Another person wearing a mask said with a smile: "That's great, let's start with Mabel. Logan has been thinking about her for a long time."
The man with glasses nodded indifferently and said, "It's up to you, I just want the result..."
Several spellcasting rays shot out at the same time, and the two people at the door immediately fell unconscious.
Wade took the box and opened it, then saw cold white mist pouring out. Inside the box were internal organs that still looked fresh and seemed to be trembling slightly.
For a moment, he felt his scalp tingling and almost threw the thing away.
"Go save people." Professor Snape said calmly.
Wade calmed himself, picked up the box, and entered the room with the two professors.
There were very few people inside, and the conveyor belt was moving slowly. A man in surgical gown was standing by the pool with his back to the crowd, washing himself, and red water was rushing into the pool.
