Lilith rolled over again and landed on the bed. Then she held her tail and started playing with herself, biting and scratching it.
Edward (in the past) looked at it with a smile for a while, took out the gold coin and flicked it out: "Death Eaters will attack Hogwarts tomorrow."
He clasped his hands together to catch the gold coin, with the head facing up, to show his affirmation, then he snapped his fingers to turn off the light and huddled under the quilt.
For a moment, the only sounds in the dark dormitory were his light breathing and the occasional small noises made by Lilith.
Time flows second by second.
Edward held his breath, staring at himself as he gradually fell asleep on the bed, and glanced at the wall clock out of the corner of his eyes.
9:30.
9:40.
10 o'clock.
10:30.
…
My past self just lay quietly in the bed, falling into a deep sleep, with no sign of disappearing at all.
"So, it's not that I traveled through time, but I lost my memory of the next few days?"
Edward waited patiently for another half an hour, until Lilith fell asleep at 11 o'clock, then he walked through the wall and returned to the next room.
He took a strand of his past self's hair and tried to divine through his dreams: "What will happen to 'him' in the next five days."
Unfortunately, the dream was still pitch black, with a black mirror, a black door, and nothing else.
In the darkness, Edward sighed and murmured:
"…What on earth did I encounter in the 'past'?"
...
December 20, 1991.
It is destined to be a milestone day in the wizarding world.
On this day, Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard who had repeatedly refused the position of Minister of Magic, officially participated in the election for this minister.
At 10 a.m., the election for Minister of Magic officially began at the Ministry of Magic under the auspices of the Wizengamot. At the same time, huge Dark Marks appeared in the sky across the UK.
The sky above Hogwarts was almost covered with the Dark Mark, which came suddenly and without any warning.
Snape and others stood at the castle gate, looking up at the Dark Mark in the sky, each with a serious expression.
"Here they come."
Professor Flitwick rubbed his hands together, "Hey! The magic circle of Hogwarts has been activated. If they dare to step into the school, they will be attacked immediately!"
"Dumbledore said that Voldemort's target is most likely the Philosopher's Stone, so no matter what the Death Eaters and goblins do in the future, they are just looking for an opportunity to get the Philosopher's Stone."
"Don't worry, Edward is watching over the Philosopher's Stone. Even if Voldemort is resurrected on the spot, he can't take it away."
Snape said coldly at this time: "I am confused."
"If they really came for the Philosopher's Stone, why would they use this method? Even if we can't stop them in the end, we can always have someone Apparate away with the Philosopher's Stone, right?"
The others were stunned.
Unfortunately, they didn't have a chance to think. More than a dozen huge figures appeared in the sky and swooped down towards Hogwarts Castle.
"It's a fire dragon!"
"The goblins are coming!"
Professor McGonagall waved her wand: "Stonewall Attack!"
The stone statues and armors scattered throughout the castle "resurrected" and began to move.
Flitwick ran away quickly: "I'll go control the castle's magic circle, and I'll leave the rest to you!"
Arthur Weasley raised his wand high: "Then let us work together to deal with these bastards."
A bright red flame shot out from his wand that exploded in the air, forming a giant phoenix.
The next second, figures appeared one after another from all over the castle, including Mad-Eye Moody, Dedalus Diggle, Scrimgeour, Sirius Black, Edgar Bones, Hagrid, Kingsley, Sturgis Podmore, Madam Longbottom, Ephias Doge and so on. Some of them were former members of the Order of the Phoenix, some were Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, some were allies of Dumbledore, and some simply fought against the Death Eaters.
Then, Death Eaters in black robes and hoods appeared one after another. They poured into the castle from all directions, followed by twenty or thirty crazy giants.
They waved their wands and cast colorful spells, but most of them were blocked by the golden shield formed by the Hogwarts magic circle. Facing the counterattack from Hogwarts, the Death Eaters were not so lucky, and some of them fell to the ground after being cursed.
But most of the Death Eaters obviously did not have a strong desire to attack. After more than a dozen people fell in the first wave of attacks, they stopped advancing, hiding behind the giant and casting a few spells from time to time to interfere. The giant mainly attacked the shield of Hogwarts Castle.
The goblins also drove the fire dragons to continuously spray flames and hit the shield. Under the continuous attacks, cracks gradually appeared on the golden shield.
At this moment, the goblins on the backs of several of the dragons suddenly went crazy and ran wildly in all directions. Most of them rushed out of the dragon's back and fell in all directions.
The remaining fairies had to temporarily give up the attack and control the fire dragon to retreat.
Audrey stood at the window on the 8th floor of the castle and breathed a sigh of relief. The fairy went crazy because she had just used shock and frenzy.
She was following the team led by Lupin to stop the enemy attacking from the air - this was an opportunity she had finally persuaded Edward to seize.
But Edward was still worried, so he asked Lilith and Susie to protect her closely, and forced her to wear the resurrection stone ring.
Soon, the retreating fire dragons swooped down again, and this time six or seven fire dragons attacked at the same time.
"Half of us will use the Eye Spell to hit the dragon's eyes, and the other half will attack the goblin directly!"
Audrey swung her wand fiercely, releasing a bright red flame that shot straight into the sky, but its speed was not very fast. With the fire dragon's agility, it could easily dodge before the flame arrived - if it was not disturbed.
Shock! Frenzy!
Audrey's target this time was the fire dragons. One of the dragons suddenly froze, and then it started flapping its wings wildly, no matter how the goblin above whipped it, it was useless.
"boom!"
A few seconds later, the fierce fire devoured the fire dragon and the fairy on it. Although it had extremely high magic resistance and was not instantly burned to ashes, it was still severely damaged and fell straight to the ground.
This action immediately aroused the anger of the goblins:
The one-eyed old goblin in the lead raised a magic wand that was taller than the others and shouted, "Follow me and kill them!!!"
Chapter 249 Transfiguration
Lightning shot out from the magic wand, and with the impact of the fire dragon, it finally tore a crack in the shield.
"I will return the humiliation I suffered a hundredfold!!"
"Avada Kedavra!!!"
The next second, more than a dozen dark green spells shot towards the one-eyed old goblin. He suppressed his anger and lofty ambitions, and hurriedly pulled the reins of the fire dragon hard, letting it block all the spells for him.
"Woo——"
After eating more than ten Avada Kedavra, even the fire dragon could not bear it for a while, and flapped its wings and retreated with a whine.
At the top of a tower at Hogwarts Castle, five old wizards in different attire were excitedly waving their wands, releasing dark magic.
If Edward were here, he would definitely recognize them as Grindelwald's five old companions.
"Hahahaha, I haven't felt so happy in a long time."
"You're having a blast. You've been shooting for half a day but haven't killed anyone."
"Hey, if Mr. Grindelwald hadn't asked me to stay here, I would have gone out and killed those brats."
"Just keep bragging, but don't hurt your back later."
"By the way, where is Mr. Grindelwald?"
"I don't know. He should be hiding in that corner, preparing to ambush someone." The old witch chuckled. "Dumbledore finally asked him to come out to help. Of course he has to do a good job so that he can take credit for it."
"…"
"Quick! They seem to be preparing to launch a second wave of attack, hit them! Hit them hard!"
Meanwhile on the other side.
In the room where the Mirror of Erised and the Philosopher's Stone were placed, Edward paced back and forth anxiously - both of them.
Although he knew that Dumbledore had asked him to protect the Philosopher's Stone and that he must have made all the necessary preparations outside, Edward still couldn't help but worry if a real fight broke out.
He threw out gold coins from time to time for divination. If the divination results had not shown that there was no problem, he would have rushed over to help!
Edward was more confused in his invisible state. He came back this time to find out the reason for his amnesia. He also knew that today's war would end with Hogwarts' victory, but he didn't know whether this victory required his returning self to "complete" it.
Probably... no, otherwise Dumbledore would have reminded me.
"ah!!!"
Suddenly, a burst of terrified screams came from all over the castle - from Hogwarts students.
Not one person, but a group of people!
This is... Death Eaters breaking into the castle? !
Past Edward Apparated away without hesitation.
The invisible Edward followed closely behind.
...
Let's go back a few minutes.
In the Slytherin common room, listening to the loud roars coming from outside (above) from time to time, the little snakes gathered together, whispering with curiosity and fear.
The students of Durmstrang gathered on the other side. The boys, led by Krum, were eager to try and looked like they wanted to rush out to help.
"What do you think... is it that the mysterious man is calling with his Death Eaters?"
"Who else would dare to attack Hogwarts besides him?"
"If we also go out and help fight the Death Eaters, can we go home without suspicion?"
"Are you crazy?"
As they were chatting, the girls suddenly discovered that their backbone, Emily, was unusually quiet today - she lowered her head with a look of tension and worry on her face, as if something terrible had happened to her.
"What's wrong with you Emily."
