Chapter 959: Alive, but Long Dead

Even with so many Patronus participating in the siege, and Neville's Silver Lion Patronus as the main force, it would be unimaginable to completely defeat the enemy in such a short period of time.

The big man was incredibly powerful, and he had a very high resistance to magic. Even though some of the properties of the Patronus Charm seemed to work wonders on it, it still felt like something was missing.

To be honest, with each Patronus being frequently broken by the other party, being able to stalemate for so long is already the credit of the partners Hermione brought to work together.

"Sure enough...... Still doesn't work? ”

Harry let his stag Patronus leap nimbly in front of him, but he himself seemed to have been a little distracted from the beginning, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

That's right, even he probably didn't understand it...... At this moment, what kind of emotion does the depression in my heart represent?

Suddenly, Harry subconsciously tightened his grip on the brim of the Sorting Hat.

But at this moment, everyone suddenly felt a slight shock from nowhere.

Just when everyone was a little surprised, they found that the big man who had been fighting with many patronus spirits in the corridor in front of him suddenly fell to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.

"Bang!"

The heavy body suddenly fell to the ground, and the whole person quickly shrank, returning to the appearance of an ordinary human male.

And perhaps it was precisely because the mysterious power that supported his transformation suddenly disappeared that everyone's patronus lost interest in him, and each turned around and rushed in the direction of the master who created him.

Watching the running silver animals turn into light and mist one by one, everyone came back to their senses.

"What just happened?"

Neville, who was standing at the front, glanced around a few times in confusion, but when his eyes swept over Hermione and the others, he found that everyone was equally surprised.

"I don't know," Hermione frowned, her gaze still on the man who had fallen to the ground, "but I think if I could wake him up—maybe I would know something." ”

With that, she passed Neville and walked briskly forward.

Due to the incredible strength of this man's transformation, the corridor had been scarred by the battle just now, and the ground was full of dents and cracks, and it was even difficult to walk.

Hermione came to the unconscious man, but saw that she first pursed her lips and glanced in the direction of Xiao Wu's corpse, her expression mixed with a little gloom.

"Quick confinement, force loosening and ......"

Although she wasn't sure it would have much effect, she cast several restrictive spells in a row, trying to get a little more security before trying to wake them up.

Then, she pointed to the other party and read clearly:

"Recover quickly."

Unfortunately, at least Hermione understood that the spell didn't work because the man on the ground didn't even twitch his eyelids.

And during this period, everyone has also gathered around, and most of them are a little overwhelmed when they look at each other.

This guy fell so suddenly, and until now, no one knew exactly what had just happened. And that faint but tangible shock – what does that mean?

"Do you want to ...... Looking for a therapist to help you see? I thought—"

"Don't look for it, I've already brought Mr. Smeszek here!"

A familiar voice rang out from around the corner behind everyone, interrupting Ginny's whispered proposal. Everyone hurriedly turned around and found that it was Sirius and the Master Healer from the Bio-Damage Division.

But when he saw Sirius, he immediately apologized again:

"I'm sorry, everyone...... I'm a little late. I didn't expect him to release the petrification state by himself, this is indeed my omission......"

Just as the friends were about to shake their heads to say that it wasn't his fault at all, another voice suddenly came from the other side of the corner of the corridor:

"It's rare that Sirius Black will apologize too?"

Before he could finish speaking, a familiar figure appeared from the other side, and everyone was surprised.

"Professor Sinista, how did you end up here?"

Everyone has the impression that the professor has hardly ever been out of the castle. Except for going to the auditorium three times a day to eat, the rest of the time I basically stay in the Astronomy Tower and don't go anywhere.

It stands to reason that the professor is still very young, in his thirties at most, so students are usually very curious about this "surprisingly homely" professor.

However, today Sinista actually came out!

"yes, that's the problem!" Professor Sinista smiled and said, "Recently, I have been commissioned by your Professor McLean, and I have been doing some research with a mysterious child...... And just now, you should have felt the results of our research. ”

At this moment, Hermione, who was standing on the other side of the crowd, couldn't help but blurt out:

"Was it that tremor?"

"Yes, Miss Granger, you are a Gryffindor...... Oh! Sinista was stunned, then couldn't help but say, "Your answer is still as fast as usual, I almost thought we were still in class!" ”

When Hermione heard this, a subtle expression appeared on her face.

After a pause, Sinista continued:

"Well, all in all, we seem to have arrived just in time - was that the Dark Wizard who fell to the ground? It seems that Helbo himself has not yet appeared? ”

"I think so," Hermione explained to Sinista from the other side, "this man infiltrated St. Mungo's pretending to be injured and took advantage of the chaos...... I guess Sirius must have told you about that, right? ”

"That's right," Sinista said, "and I think he's been manipulated to some extent...... Of course, the person who manipulated him could very well be the 'despicable Helbo'. ”

"'Manipulation'...... Is it a Imperius curse? ”

Hermione quickly thought of the famous black magic, one of the three unforgivable curses, but Sinista didn't approve of it.

"If it's the Imperius Curse, I'm afraid he's still fighting you!" She thought for a moment and asked, "Did he fall at the same time when you felt the shock just now?" ”

"Ah, yes!" Ginny, who was following Hermione, nodded repeatedly, "I can see it clearly, almost at the same time!" ”

"Then it's definitely not......"

Sinista said, a sad look on her face.

"The Imperius Curse doesn't require a constant connection between the caster and the caster, and his fall is a sign that the manipulation is tied to the caster."

Thinking about it, she immediately turned to Sirius and said, "Oh, what I'm most worried about right now is that Helbo might be hiding somewhere nearby. ”

There is not much basis for this assumption, as Helbo's magic is so far removed from modern spells that it is difficult to rely on experience to judge between the two.

If it is said that the control of magic from a distance is not impossible to do under the hands of an ancient wizard.

"I'm going to check it out again!"

As soon as Sirius heard this, he immediately planned to investigate the neighborhood outside St. Mungo, but was stopped by Sinista in the next second.

"Inspections are a must, but they only need to be searched inside St. Mungo. Because, now the space inside and outside the hospital is no longer connected – at least in theory. ”

"That formation just now?"

Sirius reacted immediately, and after seeing Sinista nod, he turned away.

On the other hand, Hermione was apparently interested in what Professor Sinista had mentioned.

"Spaces are no longer connected?" Surprised, she asked, "What......'s this?" Can it really be done? As far as I know, even the Traceless Stretching Spell is just an extension of space......

As a professor at Hogwarts, Sinista naturally likes to get to the bottom of things. But unfortunately, she is only a wizard specializing in astronomy after all, and she is completely confused about space theory.

"Unfortunately, I'm just listening to others," she said, patting Hermione on the shoulder, "and now isn't the time to say that—Sirius alone isn't enough, let's do it!" ”

"Ahh Sorry......"

Hermione secretly confessed that she had made her old mistakes again, and she got carried away when she encountered profound and interesting knowledge. After a small apology, the men hurriedly searched around St. Mungo.

And herself, with the only group of people left, brought the man who had fallen to the ground back to the devastated makeshift ward.

Seeing that the room was in a mess, the therapist Smesuik who came with Sirius simply didn't care so much, and started to check the person's physical condition on the spot.

To be honest, he was a little apprehensive during the whole examination, for fear that the man lying on the ground with his eyes closed would suddenly raise his hand and twist his neck.

You must know that all these shocking dilapidated scenes around him are almost all tossed by this guy alone.

After a while, Mr. Smeszek withdrew his wand and straightened up, then shook his head at Sinista and Hermione.

"There is no sign of life at all, but the flesh still retains a certain degree of activity. Actually, even if he dies in the next second, I won't feel any strange, but ......"

He finally hesitated:

"How the hell did a man like this who should have died cause all this?"

"Someone who should have died a long time ago?"

Sinista repeated this sentence in amazement, even though Smeszek affirmed it.

"Yes," he said, "I think he is long dead." ”
