"No! I'm not leaving."
Harry rushed over to help Professor Leddy out of the water and said with a stubborn expression, "Professor, this is not far from the castle, let's go over there together, that black-robed man will definitely not dare to come after us."
Andy's eyelids jumped at the sight.
Here it is! The classic plot of this kind of film and television drama ...
"You leave quickly!"
"I'm not leaving!"
"No, you leave!"
"No, let's leave together if we have to!"
Andy: "..."
Professor Leddy was also a bit helpless.
The reason he wanted to stay alone was actually to hold the black-robed man back. When Harry brought the other professors over, that black-robed man would definitely not be able to run away.
This was the Black Lake, which belonged to the scope of Hogwarts, where Apparition could not be used.
However, the black lake is connected to other waters, and Hogwarts did not have a defence system for that, so if the black-robed man is determined to leave, he can leave from underwater through the black lake.
Before Professor Leddy could say something, the black-robed man had already emerged from the water.
"Collins!"
Professor Leddy glanced at Andy before turning to Hermione and Harry, "You two protect yourselves!"
Although Professor Leddy didn't know Andy's exact strength, he thought that he could assist him in fighting the black-robed man together.
It wasn't far from the castle, so the other professors should be able to find out if they made a little noise.
Andy was a little helpless, but what else could he do?
Is this black-robed man Snape?
Andy guessed in his heart, but the movement of his hand was not slow.
The fat cat patronus was manifested at the first opportunity, and then its whole body lit up with a red light and went straight towards the black-robed man to slam over.
Andy raised his wand.
Boom--
There was a loud bang, and fire shot into the sky!
The black-robed man's attention was originally on Professor Leddy and the fat cat Patronus. In his opinion, since Andy was trying to manipulate the Fat Cat Patronus, he naturally did not have the energy to cast other spells.
How could he have thought that Andy could cast a Blasting Curse silently?
The unexpected explosion sent the black-robed man's entire body flying out, and while the man was still flying in the air, he was headbutted in the stomach by the Fat Cat Patronus, and the wand in his hand flew out of his hand.
"Well done, Collins!" Professor Leddy exclaimed.
Plop!
The black-robed man fell straight into the water.
"You guys stay here, I'll go down and have a look." Professor Leddy commanded, before leaping into the water.
Andy: "..."
This professor is actually ... He's a Gryffindor, isn't he?
"Andy, what kind of spell was that? I mean, that sudden explosion spell." Harry asked, turning his head to Andy with an envious look on his face.
"That's a blasting curse, the incantation is Confringo!"
Miss Know-It-All was officially online, "Blasting Curse is a spell with a high-risk factor, and can even be fatal when misused."
"A normal blasting curse will send out an orange fireball from the wand, but highly skilled wizards ... such as Andy, they can directly trigger an explosion."
"The magic spell would be less powerful, though."
A certain highly skilled wizard was currently staring at the surface of the Black Lake with a vigilant face, and the fat cat patronus had already entered the water and was currently assisting Professor Leddy in searching for the black-robed man's silhouette.
It had to be said that Andy had discovered another one of Hermione's strengths.
Andy could certainly use Blasting Curse instantly next to the target.
But words like 'highly skilled wizard' or something like that, if they came out of Andy's mouth, they would turn into boasting, and the person saying them would feel a sense of shame.
But if those words came out of Hermione's mouth, that feeling would be completely different.
Andy felt that 'Andy Bragger' was clearly a more suitable title for Hermione than the title 'Miss Know-It-All'.
"Potter, who is that black-robed man? Why is he after you and Professor Leddy?" Hermione asked.
"I don't know, he's wearing a mask ..."
Originally, Harry was a bit hesitant, but after thinking about it, Harry finally blurted out, "I think that man is Snape!"
"Professor Snape?" Hermione raised an eyebrow and didn't pursue the question further.
In fact, she too thought the black-robed man was Snape.
It was just that ... could this kind of open and aboveboard attack really bring Harry out of Hogwarts?
After thinking about it, Hermione continued to ask, "Harry, it's so late, why are you and Professor Leddy outside?"
Although Hermione didn't want to suspect Professor Leddy, Professor Leddy was under suspicion of bringing Harry out of the castle.
"I was the one who asked Professor Leddy out."
Harry explained, "Professor Leddy is two years older than my father and knows about Snape when he was younger, I wanted to ask about Snape."
The young witch nodded.
If Harry had come out on his own, then Professor Leddy would be free of suspicion.
Just then, Professor Leddy suddenly came out of the water.
"He got away!"
Professor Leddy said with a disgruntled look on his face, "Using the Portkey!"
"He was here to capture Harry, and that Portkey should have been meant to take Harry away with him."
Professor Leddy analysed, "That black-robed man was able to sneak into Hogwarts while Dumbledore was out, someone inside the castle should have betrayed us!"
"Let's go back to the castle first!"
In fact, Professor Leddy suspected that the black-robed man was one of the professors, but such words couldn't be said by Professor Leddy without evidence.
He is going to work for only one year after all.
"Capture me?" Harry froze, he thought the black-robed man was here to kill him!
"Let's go back and talk about it." Professor Leddy urged.
Soon, the group of four made their way to the castle doors.
"Professor Leddy? Mr Potter, Mr Collins, Miss Granger ..."
Professor McGonagall met them with a nervous face, "I just heard an explosion, what happened outside?"
Seeing Professor McGonagall put Harry at ease, he couldn't wait to expose Snape's crimes.
Harry blurted out, "Professor McGonagall, Snape ..."
Just as the words came out of his mouth, Harry suddenly paused, and a dazed expression appeared on his face.
"Potter ... what about me?" Snape walked over to Professor McGonagall and spoke slowly.
Harry couldn't get a word out of his mouth, as if he had been strangled in the throat by fate, and his whole body remained in a state of disbelief.
"Severus, you're here?" Professor McGonagall nodded in greeting.
"I was making a potion when I suddenly heard an explosion ..."
Snape turned his attention to Professor Leddy and asked, "What happened outside?"
Professor Leddy explained, "Harry and I were originally on the bridge discussing spells, and just as we were about to come back, we came across a black-robed man with a mask over his face."
"He attacked us. It seemed as if he was planning to abduct Harry and had the Portkey ready."
Professor McGonagall looked at Harry with a startled look on her face, "Oh, Merlin! Mr Potter, are you alright? Would you like to be examined in the school's hospital wing?"
