The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 443: Melee

"Any door will do," Sirius shouted, but before they could act a Death Eater flung open a door and rushed out.

"Fall unconscious." The Death Eater was immediately knocked unconscious by the big guy, and then Sirius rushed into the door behind him.

"Not here!" Sirius shouted loudly, "There's only a tank of brains here." Many Death Eaters rushed in from the doors on both sides of the brain hall. At the critical moment, one of Fred or George pulled Sirius back, then closed the door forcefully, and the wall started to rotate again.

The rotation stopped again, and this time several doors opened at the same time, and Death Eaters rushed out of each door. In the melee, someone released the Peruvian invisible smoke bomb again, and everyone was scattered all of a sudden. When Ryan rushed through several doors and rushed into a small office in a daze under the dense spell light, he found that only Hermione had been following him.

"Can't you only open one door at a time? What happened just now?" Hermione asked breathlessly. "We were almost blocked in the hall by those Death Eaters."

"August Rookwood, he is a silent man who defected to Voldemort. Maybe he can find a way to change some things here." Ryan said after recalling the previous profile of the Death Eaters who escaped from prison in the Daily Prophet.

"Damn it, I hope everyone is okay. I only saw Fred and George rushing through another door, and I have no idea where the others went."

Suddenly the office door was thrown open and a Death Eater rushed in.

"Look what I found, two stinky little mudbloods. Ah--" Before the spell was finished, Hermione's ring-wearing hand suddenly clenched, and the shadow behind the Death Eater immediately stood up and fixed the Death Eater at the door. Just as he struggled to escape from the shadow, a ball emitting blue-white light hit his face, and then his eyes went black and he knew nothing.

"Let's go meet up with Harry and the others." The two of them stepped over the body of a Death Eater whose head was blown off by Ryan's thunder call and rushed out of the office. Then they saw Harry running by with a prophecy ball not far away, looking like he wanted to attract the Death Eaters away from his friends. Only Ginny was with him now, and even Sirius was nowhere to be found.

Now there are five Death Eaters chasing Harry and Ginny. Fortunately, they are afraid of damaging the prophecy and dare not cast spells on Harry and Ginny.

Ryan and Hermione immediately followed after seeing this, and while casting magic at the Death Eaters chasing behind them, they asked, "Have you seen anyone else?"

"I'm so glad you're both okay, fainted." After casting a Stunning Spell on a Death Eater who got too close, Ginny said to Ryan and Hermione, "Sirius and George held back five Death Eaters, and Ron and Fred were both injured and unconscious."

Just as they were talking about this, they rushed through an open door. After running a few steps, Ryan felt his feet go empty, and then he fell down. Fortunately, when they were about to touch the ground, a gentle force stopped them, and then they slowly landed on a platform.

Ryan stood up and looked around, and found that this was the platform with the arch. Unfortunately, they were now surrounded. The five Death Eaters who had followed them were standing at the top of the surrounding steps and approaching them step by step. At the same time, more Death Eaters emerged from other doors and began to jump down the stone benches towards them.

Ryan and the others could only lean against the stone archway and raise their wands at this time, while the Death Eaters stopped two or three stone steps away from the bottom.

"Potter, you're finished," Lucius Malfoy drawled, pulling off his mask, "Now hand me the prophecy like a good child." "Let - let them go, and I'll give it to you!" said Harry desperately.

"Can't you count?" Malfoy said slowly. "There are only four of you and there are twelve of us."

"Crucio!" Bella suddenly released the Cruciatus Curse at Ryan, and then said with a nervous smile, "If you don't want your mudblood friend to die in pain, give me the glass ball."

Looking at Ryan kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, and Hermione holding Ryan nervously, and then looking at Ginny holding his hand with sweaty hands but looking at the Death Eaters with determination, and finally thinking about his godfather Sirius and the Weasley boys who were now unknown whether they were alive or dead, Harry felt that he had no choice.

He held out his hand holding the prophecy, and the elder Malfoy tried to jump up the steps to take the prophecy. At this moment, the door above suddenly opened again, and six people rushed into the room quickly: Arthur Weasley, Lupin, Moody, Tonks, Professor McGonagall and Kingsley.

Seeing this, the Death Eaters immediately used their wands to attack the Order of the Phoenix members who surrounded them, and the Order of the Phoenix members also continued to fight back at the Death Eaters. Various spells that looked powerful quickly filled the small space.

Bella had just dodged Arthur Weasley's golden spell and was about to say something sarcastic, but suddenly found that her two feet were stuck to the ground. She blocked a spell from Lupin and looked down to see some black smoke wrapped around her feet.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a crackling sound coming from very close to her. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw the brown-haired Mudblood girl pointing her fingers at her, while the other boy who she had just cast the Cruciatus Curse on was pointing his wand at her steadily with a calm expression to her surprise. The head of the wand was condensed with a little blue light, and it was wrapped with countless tiny electric currents as thin as hair. Those sounds came from there.

Just now, after taking the Cruciatus Curse, Ryan did not show that much pain. Because the damage to the soul of the Cruciatus Curse could not break through the defense of the runes in his mind, and the physical damage was not that severe for Ryan, who had repeatedly tempered his body and experienced a lot of wars. He did that just now just to reduce the attention of the Death Eaters so that he could prepare a large-scale alchemy to create chaos for everyone to escape together. When Hermione came over to hug him, Ryan just told Hermione these things so that she would cooperate.

But what was unexpected was that the Order of the Phoenix arrived as scheduled at this time, and Ryan and his team immediately changed their target and chose Bella, who was closest to them, as the target. While Bella was fighting with Mr. Weasley, Hermione bound Bella's feet with shadows, and then Ryan prepared a powerful Whip of Punishment.

In order to avoid being discovered in advance, Ryan and Hermione did not dare to make any big moves. So when Ryan cast the spell, he just waved the wand in the general direction he remembered before, and the bright spot on the head of the wand immediately turned into a blue-white whip that flew over and directly wrapped around Bella's calf.

"Damn, it's a little off." Ryan thought, but he couldn't afford to do it again. He pulled the hand holding the wand back with force, and the plasma whip quickly cut through the clothes, skin, muscles and bones. After a scream, Bella's legs were broken at the knees.

However, just as Hermione controlled the shadow to transform into a blade and slashed towards Bella's neck, Bella, as a veteran, endured the pain and rolled to the side to avoid the attack, then crawled behind a stone pier and disappeared.

"She's lucky." Ryan muttered angrily and then he and Hermione leaned against the archway side by side and joined the melee.
