Chapter 149 Demon
The exam was over and all the contestants were ejected.
James waved proudly to the audience.
audience:"……"
For some reason, the last level made them somewhat reluctant to cheer.
"James is the champion, James! James! James!"
Sirius was very loyal and cheered loudly for James at this moment.
The Gryffindor students immediately joined in and cheered loudly.
The others were gradually aroused and shouted James' name loudly.
A smile appeared on James' face, and he subconsciously looked in Lily's direction.
Seeing that Lily was looking at him very happily, James straightened his back even more, and the others also applauded him.
The air was filled with flowers and warm applause broke out.
Gene walked towards James with the medal in his hand and a smile on his face.
"Your performance in the competition impressed me. You deserve the championship."
James didn't pay any attention to what he was saying, his eyes were glued to the trophy.
He reached out to take the trophy, but Gene pulled his hand away and turned to speak to the audience.
"Those who didn't win shouldn't be discouraged. Although you didn't win this time, you will still have a chance in the future. You can take part in our Ministry of Magic exams and enjoy the same competition levels..."
His tone was so passionate that the students in the audience, who were very excited at the beginning, became bored and even secretly rolled their eyes.
"Who is this person? Why is he chattering non-stop?"
"Is there any way to make him shut up? He finally has a chance to relax, but he keeps talking about studying."
Someone complained quietly.
Gene was not aware of other people's dissatisfaction with him at all. Instead, he was very excited and felt that he finally had a stage where he could perform.
James watched the trophy move closer and farther away, but it just couldn't reach his hands, and he became a little impatient.
He puffed up his cheeks and wanted to take the trophy directly into his hands.
He secretly reached out and moved his hand towards the trophy, just a little bit away.
"Boom!!"
A huge explosion sounded.
Thick smoke suddenly billowed out from one part of the auditorium. The expressions of the professors watching the scene immediately changed and they went over to deal with the problem.
"boom!"
There was another explosion at another place.
Everyone present was stunned by the noise.
The light in the field suddenly dimmed, the lights flickered, and a black figure appeared in the air.
The man was dressed in a black robe, with a hood on his head and a silver mask on his face.
It's a Death Eater!
He raised his hand and fired a curse in Gene's direction.
For a moment, Gene's legs went weak and he didn't know what to do.
Jiang Li appeared in front of him and blocked the curse.
The man in black robe kept firing evil curses at them. Jiang Li raised his hand to block his cold eyes.
The students in the audience were also thrown into chaos when they saw this scene.
"Professor Malfoy, let me help you."
James rushed forward and used a leg-locking spell on the man in black robes.
The man in black robe easily defeated his spell and knocked James away with a disarming spell.
Gene tremblingly took out his wand to protect himself, but the next second there was an explosion next to him, and he was so scared that the wand in his hand fell.
The next second he was hit by a petrification spell.
Sirius saw the situation on the field and wanted to run over to help, but was pushed out by the crowd.
The black-robed man murmured something, and a fierce fire spell was formed in his hand.
Li Huo instantly transformed into a ferocious snake head and pounced on the students in the audience.
Some students were so scared that they screamed.
"The curse stops immediately!"
Lily picked up her wand and tried to stop the Fiendfyre.
"Children, don't panic, go out in an orderly manner."
Professor McGonagall was loudly maintaining order, while other professors were using spells to try to put out the Fiendfyre.
A girl from Beauxbatons fell down in the audience, and when she tried to get up, she found that her foot was injured and she couldn't move.
She looked at Li Huo who was rushing towards her in horror.
The next second, the badge in his hand became hot and formed a protective shield of white light, blocking the fierce fire.
"Come on."
Professor Sprout knocked away the Fiery Curse in front of her and urged the girl.
The girl tried to get up, but found that she could not walk. She was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Suddenly, her body felt lighter, and when she looked up, she found a strong Durmstrang boy hugging her directly.
"Hold on to me and don't trip." said the boy.
The girl held his hand tightly and whispered, "Thank you."
"Severus, we need to get back to helping Professor Malfoy."
Halfway through the run, Little Barty grabbed "Snape" and said, "We can help her catch the Death Eater."
Regulus, who was pretending to be Snape, felt his scalp go numb and said in a deep voice, "Let's not do that. We will only cause trouble for Professor Malfoy if we go over there. Let her handle it alone."
"We don't need to get close. We can just sneak attack him from a distance." said Little Batty.
"but……"
"Severus, I think you acted strangely today. If Professor Malfoy had encountered such a thing in the past, you would definitely not abandon her and leave. But why did you just turn around and leave today?"
Little Barty suddenly spoke up and looked at Snape seriously.
Regulus suddenly felt a chill on his back, his mind working at high speed, thinking about how to explain it back.
"I know you feel bad about the quarrel with your fiancée, but Professor Malfoy is very kind to us, we have to go back and help her."
Before he could come up with an answer, Little Barty had already explained it to him.
"Well then, we'll go back and help Professor Malfoy."
Afraid that little Barty would notice something was wrong, Regulus had no choice but to go back with him.
As soon as I got back, I saw a raging fire that was about to burn everything to ashes.
Jiang Li was in the center of the fire storm. Her eyes were as calm as a bottomless pool, and the color of fire was dancing in her pupils. She held the magic wand downward and inserted it into the ground.
"All Curses End"
A huge magical power rose up with her as the center and began to spread in all directions. A phoenix rose up from the position next to her and devoured the raging fire.
The light golden hair was dyed with the color of flames and fluttered in the wind. The light white windbreaker Jiang Li was wearing also changed with the color of the flames.
The live broadcast of the game was still going on. Everyone passed through the "Second World" and saw Jiang Li fighting against the Death Eaters.
They saw that not far behind Jiang Li, a Death Eater in a black robe attacked Jiang Li.
He raised his wand and fired a green curse at Jiang Li's back.
"Get out of the way!"
Gene saw the killing curse and shouted a warning in the direction of Jiang Li.
Jiang Li wanted to break the spell, but it was too late. She slightly turned sideways to block the spell that was deviating from its direction.
The green spell hit her, and Jiang Li's whole body stiffened instantly, as if he had lost his strength. He picked up the wand and fired the last spell at the man in black robe.
At this moment, the fierce fire that was raging in the field was also brought under control.
Professor McGonagall and the others hurried over here.
The man in black robe was hit by Jiang Li and his body was shaking.
The next second, the air exploded, and a short elf wrapped in a black robe appeared, grabbed the man in black robe, snapped his fingers, and took the injured man in black robe away.
Jiang Li, who was under the spell, could no longer hold on.
Her body slowly fell backwards, like a withered autumn leaf, lightly falling into the arms of the earth, with the final peace and tranquility.
"Gardenia!"
Professor McGonagall was the first to rush to Jiang Li's side.
Seeing the stiff and cold body on the ground, his face was filled with shock and grief. Every step he took was filled with anxiety and panic. His usual calmness was gone.
She carefully picked up Jiang Li, tears welling up in her eyes.
"All of you go back. This place is not completely safe yet."
Professor McGonagall suppressed her grief and evacuated the other students who had rushed over.
"Minerva, how is Gardenia?"
Sprout came over and asked quickly.
"She's dead," said Professor McGonagall sadly.
"How could it be possible? Gardenia is so powerful, how could she die?"
Sprout didn't want to believe this fact.
"She sacrificed herself to protect me!"
James, who was standing next to Jiang Li's body, had red eyes and a suppressed sob came from his throat, "Professor Malfoy could have avoided the spell, but she stood in front of me."
At that time, he was surrounded by fierce fire and had no way to escape.
It was Professor Malfoy who helped him block the Fiery Fire Curse and let him hide in the corner.
The reason why I didn't avoid the spell just now was because I saw where he was.
If Professor Malfoy had been just a little off the mark, the Killing Curse would have fallen on him.
Now it is him who is lying on the ground.
His voice was broadcast live and spread to every corner, "It was the Death Eaters who killed her. Those guys are demons."
