Huh, how did Hermione get here?
She moved cautiously along the obstacle course towards the stage, her face revealing a look of great astonishment when George clearly saw the hostage being held captive.
Among the hostages, there were four adults and three children. One of the children was none other than Hermione Granger.
He knew that Hermione had also come to France for a vacation during the summer break and they had exchanged a letter before.
However, he remembered that the places Hermione mentioned in her letters were not Paris, but the favorite French tourist destination for wizards, Dijon located in the eastern part of France.
"Old One-eyed, you are surrounded. Hand over the hostages, put down your wands, or don't blame us for not being polite!"
The lead Uther at about forty years old pointed his wand at an old wizard with one eye on the other side, warning fiercely.
The old wizard with one eye pointed his wand at the hostage in his hand, scoffing.
“If you have the ability to attack, believe me, before your magic hits me, I will kill them.”
And there are three underage wizards here as well. Then see how you explain that to your superiors."
As a black wizard who had been on the run for over two decades and had never been caught, he had experienced many similar scenarios.
Basically, for the sake of the hostage's safety, they would usually concede.
A few years ago, there was a hard-headed Uther who refused to compromise, and the result was that he killed fifty Muggles. In the end, that female Uther took the fall and was cashiered.
The captain of the Aurors would not be able to avoid being dismissed if he did not want to do anything about it.
"Damn!"
Upon hearing the words from the old one-eyed wizard, the Uther captain clearly hesitated.
He still made a mistake, he never expected the other side to be so vigilant. Their encirclement had just been completed halfway, but the other side had already discovered that they had taken hostages.
Now is neither to release nor not to release.
"Averroth! Avada Kedavra!"
Seeing the Uther captain hesitate, the old one-eyed wizard even directly pointed his wand at the rotund adult wizard he was holding hostage and cast a killing curse.
The rotund adult wizard was killed instantly by the Killing Curse.
"You're hesitating, are you? Well, every ten seconds, I'll kill one until you agree!"
He began to count down.
Just before he counted down to five, the Uther captain could not hold out anymore.
"All right, I can let you go, but you have to release half the hostages first."
"Otherwise, how can I be sure that you will release the hostages after this? You have done such things before, haven't you?"
"You have no right to negotiate with me."
The old one-eyed wizard squinted, obviously unwilling to let go of half of the hostages in his hands.
The Uther captain was not stupid either, he raised his wand with a firm tone and said:
"Then I'll risk getting dismissed today to keep you here!"
"All right, but you can't leave this stage."
Seeing that the Uther captain was not easy to handle, the old one-eyed wizard's eyes twinkled. Finally, he signaled his subordinates to release three of the six remaining adults and leave the three underage wizards in his control.
The Uther captain, seeing this, ordered the surrounding Aurors to make a gap in the perimeter.
The old one-eyed wizard held onto the three underage wizards and slowly retreated towards the exit of the tent.
As soon as they get out of the tent, they can use the Apparition to escape from Magical Street. It will be difficult for Aurors to catch up with them.
"This isn't a sustainable approach."
As the old one-eyed wizard and a few other black wizards, holding Hermione and the three little witches, were getting closer to the exit of the tent, George began to think.
Hermione, at least, was his friend, and he couldn't just watch her die. Moreover, he wanted to see if he could find any clues about ancient magic from that old one-eyed wizard. Naturally, he couldn't just let them escape.
"Hey, the mirror!"
At this time, George saw a mirror standing there at the exit of the tent, and he immediately had an idea.
He quickly walked into the make-up room behind the nearest stage to him, found a mirror and chanted incantations:
"Mirror World, open!"
He pointed his wand at the mirror, and a ripple appeared on its surface instantly. Then he dove in.
During this time, he had done nothing but sit and meditate to improve his magician level. In addition, he also learned multiple magic spells including Mirror World, Metamorphosis and others.
Now, he could use the Mirror World spell to lurk inside the mirror at the exit ahead of time, and then suddenly emerge to attack when the black wizards passed by with the hostages, saving Hermione and the other two.
Walking into the Mirror World, everything here looked exactly the same as outside, except that there was no life here and all items were their opposite.
A speeding towards the entrance of the tent, he patiently waited there in the mirror.
About thirty seconds later, the old one-eyed wizard and his five underlings, holding Hermione and the other two underage girls, finally arrived at the mirror in front of the tent entrance.
The Aurors saw that they were about to leave the tent when a ten or twelve-year-old boy suddenly emerged from the mirror next to them.
"Expelliarmus!"
Emerging from the mirror, George immediately waved his right wand and cast the Expelliarmus charm to fling away the black wizard's wand that was holding Hermione and knock him away.
Meanwhile, his left hand didn't spare either and delivered a powerful roundhouse kick, sending the black wizard holding the other little witch flying out.
He now has the strength of over four thousand pounds with a single slap, and if it wasn't for the unique physiology of wizards, he could have been sent directly to his grandmother.
"Averroth! Avada Kedavra!"
George's sudden appearance evidently caught these black wizards off guard.
However, they were all seasoned fighters with considerable experience, and they reacted very quickly. Besides the one-eyed wizard, the remaining three black wizards simultaneously cast Killing Curses towards George.
However, George's body was so agile that he easily dodged the three Killing Curses with a backflip, and he counterattacked as he bent down.
One was a right wand incantation of the second Unarmoring Charm, and the other was a light-based spell arrow shot from the magical array.
The black wizards were clearly not expecting George to dodge three Killing Curses and retaliate, and they didn't react in time. One of them was knocked away by the Unarmoring Charm, while another had his right hand, holding the wand, pierced by a light-based spell arrow.
With this, Hermione and the three young girls had all been saved, leaving only one black wizard underling and the old one-eyed wizard.
However, George also noticed something strange at this time.
It was the old one-eyed wizard whom George had been alert to since his initial attack, who had not made any moves from the start to the end, but instead kept muttering incantations that George couldn't understand.
After all, Amy's abilities were not bad, and the old one-eyed wizard could defeat her and take her wand, so his strength should be considerable. He shouldn't have had no reaction by now.
