Chapter 396 Protecting Hogwarts - Part [-]
What are Dumbledore's plans?
Encourage the positives in Harry before he grows up and kill the negatives before they develop.
When he found that Voldemort's resurrection could not be prevented, he took the risk and persuaded Inolant to pretend to be Krum and Harry to face the newly resurrected Voldemort.
Saving Cedric was a surprise.
When he discovered the Horcrux in the Diary of the Chamber of Secrets, Dumbledore always had a guess that Harry had Voldemort's soul fragments on him, that is, Harry also became Voldemort's Horcrux.
With Lily's protective spell in place, Harry was safe for the time being.
And Voldemort, who was resurrected with Harry's blood, was able to kill Harry.
In other words, if Voldemort couldn't kill Harry without using Harry's blood to resurrect, then even if Voldemort was killed by Dumbledore, he could still use Harry's Horcrux to resurrect.
But now, as long as Voldemort is lured to kill the Horcrux on Harry, destroy all other Horcruxes, and then kill Voldemort, Voldemort can really be killed.
Therefore, the prophecy ball brought back by Lucius not only recorded the prophecy of Harry and Voldemort, but also the prophecy that Dumbledore guided Voldemort to kill Harry himself according to his ideas.
……
March 1996 school season.
This school year is a special school year for Hogwarts, because there are no new young wizards.
The wizarding world is panicked because of Voldemort and his influence, and most people have heard a little bit of news that Voldemort is going to attack Hogwarts. They don't want their children to suffer from this.
Of course, there are exceptions. When those pure-blooded families find out that the child has not received the notification letter until the start of school, they are eager to abandon the "Muggle child".
But they've also mostly become Death Eaters, so it's more of an outrage at not being able to take advantage of the kids' enrolment to break into Hogwarts.
Hogwarts does not issue notices, it is more to protect new wizards, after all, they have not studied magic systematically, even if they are just young wizards who have just entered the second year, they have at least mastered some magic spells that can protect themselves , such as body-binding spells, stun spells, etc.
There are no new students, but there are old students.
When the Hogwarts Express train normally carried the nervous old students into Hogwarts, a war broke out suddenly.
Principal McGonagall led a group of school professors including Hagrid, while protecting the children from entering Hogwarts, while casting spells against the Death Eaters and Dementors who had mixed in.
Under the leadership of their seniors, senior sisters and prefects, the students hid in the castle. When Principal McGonagall and others retreated, the protective cover of the castle was activated.
But the Forbidden Forest outside the castle, the Quidditch pitch and other places have also become the territory of the Death Eaters.
Not all students start school on time.
Some well-known Death Eaters, such as Draco, did not board the Hogwarts Express, and those who were particularly timid also asked for leave.
Now inside the castle, except those who voluntarily came to protect Hogwarts—of course, not all the students who wanted to protect Hogwarts came back, such as Harry and others—are the unknown minors who mixed in Death Eaters.
At this moment, Luna and Ginny stood up, they are the new prefects.
After persuading the rest of the prefects to cooperate, they began to check the people present who had the mark of the black devil on their arms, and found several of them on the spot and arrested them and locked them in the basement, where the house elves guarded them.
Although they were very scared, under the comfort of Principal McGonagall and other professors, as well as Luna and Ginny seniors, everyone was high-spirited and performed their duties in their assigned positions to jointly defend their Hogwarts .
The Death Eaters outside couldn't get in, but those trapped inside had no major problems except that they couldn't get out.
Until Voldemort came to the scene...
He also brought his Nagini, a gigantic twelve-foot adder.
And Severus Snape.
All those who don't know the truth hate the man who killed their beloved Headmaster Dumbledore.
Although he used to be the head of Slytherin and their Potions teacher.
"Harry Potter isn't here?" Voldemort stroked the wand in his hand. It wasn't the yew wand he usually used, but Lucius' elm wand.
He had a duel with Harry when he was resurrected, and after discussing with the Death Eaters, he learned that the twin wands could not hurt each other. Voldemort's wand core and Harry's wand core both came from the feather of Phoenix Fox.
Therefore, after looking around at his subordinates, Voldemort chose Lucius.
The establishment of Lucius made a great contribution, but his son Draco was originally the one who went to kill Dumbledore, but in the end Snape executed it ahead of schedule.
And among the Death Eaters, Lucius's wand was inherited from his father, and it is a very powerful wand.
Of course, if Voldemort got the Elder Wand, he would be more willing to use this recognized strongest wand.
"Yes, Master." A Death Eater replied.
Snape stepped forward at the right time, and said slowly, "Master, I heard them mention the Deathly Hallows before they left. I think they are going to find the three legendary objects."
"That's not a legend, Severus," Voldemort denied. "They're real. We can't all stay here, we've got to get them before them, especially the wand..."
"You are right, master."
Voldemort didn't stay for long, he soon left with a large group of Death Eaters, some led by Lucius and Draco to hunt down Harry and others, and some followed him to find the old man who was one of the Deathly Hallows. wand.
Snape and Nagini were left behind to lead the remaining Death Eaters against Hogwarts, along with the Dementors.
Therefore, when it was found that the number of enemies outside was reduced by half, and the "Savior" Harry suddenly appeared in the castle.
The gates of Hogwarts Castle are open!
People who have not mastered the Patronus Charm follow behind those who have mastered it, and fight against one or two Death Eaters in groups of three or five. If there are dementors attacking, they will be quickly repelled by everyone's Patronus.
Principal McGonagall stood at the gate of the castle, chanting a series of transformation spells with a serious face. As the spells sounded, many magic threads from her wand floated into the castle and landed on the statues and armor.
There were rumbling and rumbling sounds from upstairs and downstairs, and within a moment, a large number of stone pier guards gathered in front of the castle gate, rushing towards the Death Eaters in unison and majesticly, protecting Hogwarts. students.
At that moment, Principal McGonagall was brave and majestic!
After a while, even the house-elves of Hogwarts, led by Dobby and Mili, rushed out. Although they were short, they were not low in strength. To catch a Death Eater was to beat them hard , stared blankly at a group of lower grade students.
In addition, those Hogwarts students who have graduated, like Oliver and others, also came on broomsticks.
Everyone worked together, relying on the strength of the number of people, to deal with one or two in groups of three or five, and the Death Eaters and Dementors had almost no room for resistance.
Meanwhile, Harry and Snape came face to face.
The relationship between the two had long been at odds, and Harry couldn't hide the anger in his eyes even if he launched an attack.
Snape's eyes were much more complicated, almost no one could tell what he was thinking, the Death Eaters were preoccupied with themselves, and the professors and students didn't care about him as a "traitor".
Facing Harry's low-level spells, Snape avoided or counteracted them with other spells without any effort.
At this point, however, Hermione and Ron join the fray.
With the help of his companions, Harry once again used the Disarming Charm to defeat the enemy forces.
But Snape's eyes flashed an unnoticed smile.
Harry put his wand against Snape's temple, angrily accusing Snape of crimes, including Dumbledore's death, including the death of his parents...
Nothing touched Snape more than Lily's death.
He opened his eyes without the will to survive: "Use your eyes, look at me... Potter."
