Hogwarts: Wizards Supreme

Brian looked at the Marauder's Map and walked towards the foyer. He pushed open the small room next to him and saw a few pairs of bright eyes blinking restlessly inside.

"Brian, luckily you're okay." Daphne jumped up happily, jumped in front of Brian like a flexible deer, opened her arms and hugged him.

Brian smiled slightly and patted Daphne on the back, feeling inexplicably peaceful in his heart.

Daphne let go of her arms, pursed her lips and said, "Sorry, I couldn't stop Potter and the others..."

"It doesn't matter, they didn't cause any bad consequences." Brian said softly, "Your safety is the most important thing."

Daphne nodded, realizing that there were still people around, and then slowly retreated further.

In the room, Draco, Crabbe and Goyle were blinking at them, when Draco coughed slightly.

Daphne glared at him angrily, snorted slightly and turned away from them. Draco grinned awkwardly, two blushes appearing on his pale cheeks.

"What's wrong?" Brian asked funnyly.

"It's nothing, it was just a little accident." Draco said hurriedly. Knowing that he had been a pig teammate for a while, he didn't want more people to know about it. He glanced at Daphne unnaturally, as if he was afraid that she would tell her.

Daphne didn't look at her, just hugging her shoulders.

"Ahem, I mean, I'm sorry I couldn't go as planned." Draco leaned over and whispered, "When I repaired the disappearing cabinet and planned to verify it, I didn't expect that there were already people waiting in the Borgin-Bock store. ... We were spotted just as we were going over there, and he immediately notified everyone, you know, and there was nothing I could do to stop it."

"I know, you've tried your best." Brian nodded, "I won't blame you for this."

Draco raised his chin arrogantly and said slowly and in an adult tone: "That's good, but it's true that I failed to abide by the agreement. If you need it in the future, I can't help you." busy……"

Daphne rolled her eyes at Draco, unable to bear his pretentiousness, she changed the subject and said, "How is the battle outside?"

She crossed her hands uneasily and looked out the window involuntarily. From a distance, they saw a small part of the fierce melee under the Astronomy Tower, as well as Voldemort's proud and cold declaration, and the sad song of the Phoenix was still ringing in their ears.

"The Death Eaters had a scuffle with the school professors, the Order of the Phoenix, and the Aurors. Later, the Dark Lord came and killed Dumbledore." Brian said concisely and concisely.

"Mr. Dumbledore...is he really...dead?" Daphne gasped softly. Even after hearing Voldemort's declaration at that time, she still couldn't believe that Dumbledore was the powerful and mysterious man who was the only person Voldemort was afraid of. Lido died like this.

"Yes, his phoenix is ​​still singing a dirge." Brian raised his head slightly and listened to the singing in his ears.

Draco's face became even paler, and he lowered his voice as if he was afraid of being heard and asked: "So... the Dark Lord has taken control of Hogwarts?"

Brian glanced at Draco, shook his head, and said in a slightly mocking tone: "No, he was seriously injured and ran away alone, leaving his followers behind. The battle is over. Many Death Eaters were killed. Caught."

"What? Who can defeat the Dark Lord?" Draco's eyes widened. This was as unbelievable as Dumbledore's death.

"It's me." Brian said calmly. There is nothing to hide at this time.

There was an eerie silence in the room for a moment. It wasn't until Goyle sneezed loudly that the silence around him was broken.

"Are you kidding?" Draco twitched his lips.

"No." Brian said calmly, without any desire to explain, "Okay, the matter is over, we should go back."

Daphne nodded. She tilted her head and looked at Brian's side face, inexplicably believing that Brian was not joking.

"So you are already so powerful." Daphne smiled brightly.

Brian gave her a quiet, gentle smile and they walked toward the common room in silence. Draco's eyes wandered unconsciously, as if he was still thinking about what Brian just said.

Brian and Daphne made a tacit agreement not to mention the exchange before the battle. Now was obviously not the time to talk about that kind of thing. However, Daphne believed that Brian would always find her and tell her his choice.

The stone wall of the common room was opened, and all the Slytherin wizards were gathered inside. The prefects were managing order and prohibiting everyone from going out. Everyone was talking about the declaration from Voldemort that could also be heard here, and the buzzing sound was like a hundred thousand wasps flying around.

After the five people walked in, the low-pitched discussion seemed to suddenly explode. A large group of people gathered around, trying to get news from them.

Crabbe and Goyle stood in front like the most competent bodyguards, arrogantly squeezing through the surrounding crowd. Draco raised his chin proudly, showing off the aura of a king on a tour.

"We don't know what happened... get out of the way..." Draco's slow tone was very obvious in the noisy discussion, "I just asked them to patrol the castle together to prevent anyone from sneaking out and being in danger... "

The crowd dispersed in disappointment and returned to their original seats. Some people obviously didn't believe it, but they couldn't make a move in the face of Draco's attitude, so they had no choice but to give in unwillingly.

They found a seat and sat down, silent to the inquiries around them, and soon no one bothered them.

"The Dark Lord said that Dumbledore is dead!" The students began to continue their discussion, "Now the school must be occupied by the Dark Lord... No one can stop the Dark Lord."

"I don't think Dumbledore will die so easily... Don't you think the Dark Lord's raid on Hogwarts tonight is sudden and weird? That might just be the Dark Lord's way of saying he's demoralizing."

"Are your ears hard to use? Didn't you hear the singing outside?" Someone retorted, "That's a phoenix, Dumbledore's phoenix! It won't be idle singing this kind of song, right?"

"How do you know it doesn't like singing this kind of song? Maybe Phoenix just wants a change tonight?" another person argued.

"I still think it's true. The Dark Lord must have ruled Hogwarts." Another person said.

"I think that's not bad. The Dark Lord taking over the school is also very interesting. At least we don't have to go to class with those dirty Mudbloods, right? He will definitely deal with them... We should have higher education status."

"Indeed, Dumbledore likes Muggles too much. We need a wiser leader."

"Go, go, don't you know how scary the Dark Lord is? Think about it, the school may be full of dementors, inferi and werewolves in the future. If someone fails to complete their homework, they may be thrown into the care of werewolves. Anyone who violates school rules may be kissed by a dementor..."

"It's too scary. Then I would rather not come to school from now on!"

"Wake up, from now on the wizarding world belongs to the Dark Lord..."

"So what can we do? We can't resist, so we might as well accept this result. No matter how bad it is for us, it won't be any worse."

"I agree with this. The Dark Lord needs a steady stream of supporters to join, and he will definitely give us corresponding treatment..."

"..."

The students were talking about the possibilities in the future, but in general, the Slytherins were not too frightened. They were either from pure-blood wizard families, or they were half-blood, Muggle-born young wizards. He won't be sorted into Slytherin.

Therefore, they are not the people targeted by the Dark Lord. Their attitudes toward the Dark Lord's rule of Hogwarts vary. Some support and expect it, some remain neutral, and some do not like it. But in general, those who are fearful are not many.

Brian held his chin in his hand and looked out the window at the giant squid swimming leisurely by, quietly listening to the discussions around him.

"So, you successfully brought them into school tonight, Draco?" Blaise walked up to Draco and asked softly with a gloomy and heavy face.

"It's nothing, don't slander me." Draco drawled.

"You dare to say that you are not working for him?" Blaise raised his voice slightly.

"So what? That doesn't mean anything!" Draco sneered, "I thought you would go out to fight and show your belief in resisting the Dark Lord? You hid well tonight. It seems you didn't either. You said you want revenge so much..."

"You can do things better by keeping yourself useful. I'm not a brainless Gryffindor." Blaise said without being irritated at all. He stopped arguing with Draco and turned around and entered the passage to the dormitory.

Brian turned his head slightly and looked at his disappearing back, his expression calm and calm.

As the professors returned to the castle and briefly informed each college of the end of the battle, the students who did not wait for an explanation gradually yawned and returned to their dormitories, ending the long night unwillingly.
