Hogwarts: A little lion in the skin of the Eagle School

As intelligent as Moody was, he understood the truth of everything at that moment.

The sudden unrest outside the ministry took away all of its fighting power.

They then immediately stormed into the Ministry of Magic and blocked all entrances.

This was not a surprise attack at all, but a carefully laid trap.

Even their visit to the Ministry of Magic was actually orchestrated by someone who brainwashed Fudge, leading him to order their summons.

This is the moment we've been waiting for.

"Hahaha, isn't this the infamous Mad-Eye? So much time has passed, what happened to you?"

At that moment, another extremely penetrating laugh came from the black mist.

A woman who appeared mentally unstable walked out slowly with cat-like steps.

It was Bellatrix, who couldn't help but burst into laughter at Moody's disheveled appearance.

It was Moody who captured her back then, and unexpectedly, the first time they met after her release from prison, she found herself with him trapped in her grasp.

"The game is over, Mr. Auror, oh no, I heard you retired? Former Mr. Auror~ Hahahaha!"

When Moody saw Bella appear, he narrowed his eyes, but did not engage in a verbal exchange with her.

Instead, he quietly observed the Death Eaters' encirclement.

Lucius spoke again.

"Quiet, Bella, don't wake my Sleeping Beauty."

His gaze fell on Harry, who had been staring intently at the prophecy orb the entire time, as if he had been cast a time-stopping spell, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

"The prophecy ball is in your hands, Potter."

"Leave it to me... I promise, you'll all be alright..."

Lucius reached out to Harry, slowly approaching, as if afraid of accidentally waking him up.

"Harry!"

Professor Lupin couldn't help but call out to Harry, hoping to wake him up.

But Harry didn't react at all.

Upon seeing this, Lucius's smile widened even more.

However, just as he was about to touch the prophecy ball...

He felt something pressing against his chest and looked down.

It was Harry's wand.

Buhou!

He collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious!

With a bang.

Lucius was caught off guard and was hit, flying several meters backward.

Bella quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding being hit by Lucius.

"Let's do it!"

At that moment, Professor Moody, who had been waiting in the wings, shouted!

His cane slammed against the ground.

With a loud bang.

The surrounding shelves collapsed simultaneously, and countless prophecy orbs rained down, causing the Death Eaters surrounding them to be hit or forced to dodge, instantly throwing their formation into chaos.

Sirius, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, suddenly opened his eyes and transformed into a huge black dog, lunging at the Death Eaters next to Harry.

Professor Lupin set up a defensive barrier for Professor Moody, while simultaneously and precisely kicking the unconscious Lucius toward Bella, disrupting her rhythm of swinging her staff.

"Walk!"

Professor Moody gave the order.

The three of them immediately took advantage of the chaos and broke out of the encirclement together.

Harry clutched the orb of prophecy tightly and followed behind.

He was indeed bewitched.

However, upon contact with the prophecy orb, a very familiar voice rang out from within it.

It sounded like Professor Trelawney's voice.

The voice repeated the prophecy from years ago to him.

The person with the power to defeat the Dark Lord will be chosen at the end of July, and the Dark Lord will mark him as a formidable rival.

Two people cannot live at the same time; one must kill the other.

He then came to his senses and understood the situation.

The Death Eaters, whose attention was focused on the Prophecy Orb and Professor Moody, didn't notice that Harry had quietly raised his wand.

Only Sirius, who was lying on the ground, noticed and quietly nudged Professor Moody.

Moody understood instantly due to his experience and tacit understanding, then patted Professor Lupin on the shoulder, which led to the scene of breaking through the encirclement.

They fled and hid in a dark, secret room.

The secret room was very spacious, but completely empty.

Only a stone archway stands in the center, its interior glowing with an ethereal light, like an unreal black veil.

"Dead end, let's go back."

Upon seeing the room, Professor Moody immediately prepared to lead everyone to another place to hide.

However, the entrance was blocked by the arriving Death Eaters.

"Hand over the prophecy ball!"

Bella screamed at the group.

"Don't even think about it! If you don't leave, I'll smash it to pieces!"

Harry held the prophecy orb high, his fingertips turning white from the force, looking somewhat defiant, but very determined.

The Death Eaters actually hesitated when they saw this.

Sirius Black and his two companions, now back in human form, surrounded Harry to prevent him from being attacked, thus breaking the stalemate.

To be honest, what they need most right now is time.

Therefore, they are happy to maintain a stalemate with the Death Eaters.

"They are stalling for time."

At this moment, some Death Eaters saw through their plan and spoke directly to Bella.

"Nonsense, do you think I can't see it!"

Bella roared angrily at the man, then looked at the prophecy orb.

"My master entrusted me with this task, so I must complete it!"

As if deep in thought, Bella finally made up her mind.

She dropped her wand and then walked gracefully toward Harry and the others with her hands raised.

"Don't get excited, baby. How about we make a deal?"

"I'll let you go, but you leave the prophecy orb behind."

Harry, however, simply didn't believe it: "A deal? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

Bella continued to laugh, seemingly unconcerned.

"You naturally won't believe me, but you can believe in an unbreakable oath."

"Let Cyrus Black be a witness as Bellatrix Lestrange and Harry Potter make an unbreakable vow."

"If you hand over the prophecy ball, I guarantee you will leave safely."

As she spoke, she walked up to the group, and Professor Moody's wand was already pressed against her throat.

But she didn't care at all, revealing an almost manic smile as she stretched out her right hand.

Several golden threads seemed to flow in her hands.

The vow can be made as long as Harry holds that hand.

But he didn't know what an unbreakable vow was, so he looked to Sirius for help.

Sirius looked at Moody, seemingly seeking his opinion.

The strategic value of the oracle ball is actually not very high.

Dumbledore himself mentioned this.

However, it cannot be handed over easily, as this prophecy could disrupt Voldemort's rhythm and affect his judgment.

If Voldemort finds out, he will immediately turn all his power around and make killing Harry his top priority.

But it's still better than dying here...

"......good."
