Hogwarts's Master of Mind

While Aiden was busy arranging the transformation plan.

Harry and Edmund are planning to sneak into Hogwarts, but they still need the last piece of the puzzle, which is Tom's right-hand man, Severus Snape.

The four of them came to the Hog's Head Inn. Although Aberforth was unhappy that these people used his bar as a secret base, he had to accept it for the sake of Dumbledore's face.

He led the four of them to a portrait, which was a portrait of their beloved sister, Ariana Dumbledore.

The girl in the portrait walked towards the path behind. Harry asked curiously, "Where is she going?"

Aberforth ignored him and turned away with the kerosene lamp.

However, in the distance on the path in the picture, there is a kerosene lamp swaying from far to near.

Harry and the other two drew their wands, but Edmund already knew who was coming, so he held out his hand to stop them.

After a while, the portrait opened, revealing a secret passage hidden behind it, and Neville Longbottom appeared with a kerosene lamp.

"Neville!" The three shouted his name happily.

"You look..." Harry's words got caught in his throat.

"I know, it looks bad, doesn't it." Neville laughed at himself, "But Seamus is worse than me."

Neville waved to them, motioning them to follow, and the four of them followed him into the dark tunnel.

"There doesn't seem to be this secret passage on the map?" Ron's voice kept echoing in the secret passage.

"Because this secret passage didn't exist before, the other seven secret passages have been closed, and this is the only way." Neville performed a Transfiguration spell and transformed the kerosene lamp into a flashlight. "The school is full of Death Eaters and Dementors."

"How bad has the school been since Snape became Headmaster?" Hermione asked.

"We can hardly see him. The Carrow siblings are the ones we have to watch out for." Neville turned around and explained.

"Carlo?" Harry's voice sounded doubtful.

"Yes, a pair of siblings, they control the school, and they like to corporally punish students." Neville pointed to the scars on his face.

"Did they punish you? Why?" Edmund asked.

"In today's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, they asked us to use the Cruciatus Curse on the first-year students, but we refused, so we were punished." Neville spread his hands.

"Fortunately, the punishment will be carried out by Filch. I don't know how he managed to make us look very miserable but not suffer any harm." Neville saw the expressions of Harry and the other two and knew that they were worried about them, so he comforted them.

Then, they walked to the end of the secret passage. Neville pushed open the secret door and said to the students in the cellar, "Hey, I have a surprise for you."

"No more Aberforth's cooking, that stuff is not for human consumption." Seamus complained.

Neville smiled, moved aside, and Harry walked out from behind him.

"Harry!", "Harry Potter", "Edmund?"...

The cellar was filled with students from various colleges. It seemed that except for Slytherin, they had crammed all the students from other colleges into the cellar. The living conditions here were extremely bad, and they even lived with men and women together.

"So, what are your plans next?" Simo was very excited and he couldn't wait to get to work.

"We have to find a way to find the last treasure of Voldemort, but we don't know what it is. I hope we can pool everyone's wisdom." Harry looked at them.

Click, the sound of a door opening and closing came from above the cellar, and then a graceful figure ran in.

"Harry!" and "Ginny!" two voices sounded at the same time. The students around them made way for them. Their eyes met in the air, and neither of them was willing to look away first.

"Hey" Ron wanted to say hello, but found that his sister completely ignored him, so he turned around and complained to Hermione.

"I'm her brother whom she hasn't seen for six months, and she didn't even say hello to me."

"There are so many people who have brothers, but there is only one Harry." Seamus teased Ron.

"Shut up, Seamus."

"Snape is gathering the students. They already know that Harry has sneaked into Hogsmeade," Ginny reminded.

Then, everyone turned their eyes to Harry, waiting for his instructions.

"Let's go and meet him." Harry was not afraid at all because he had seen what Dumbledore had told him about Snape.

Then, the Carrow brothers and sisters' assembly announcement spread throughout the school through their magic. The students had no choice but to put on the same uniform and start heading for the auditorium. Harry and the other two used a cloning spell to get four robes to blend in with them. Edmund left the team and prepared to go for a walk around the school.

In the hall, Snape was wandering on the podium, constantly scanning the students below with a sinister look.

"I heard that Harry Potter seemed to have sneaked into Hogsmeade."

"Now...."

"Whether teachers or students, if they dare to help Harry Potter, they will be punished..."

"The punishment should be proportionate to the behavior."

The students below began to whisper to each other. Harry's name had become more and more famous since the Death Eaters had implemented a reign of terror in Hogwarts.

"Silence——!" Snape shouted, suppressing everyone's voices.

"If anyone knows about this but doesn't report it, they will be punished the same way as those who helped them!"

"Now, does anyone want to say anything?"

Snape walked down the platform and walked towards the crowd. Then a figure with his head down walked out from the crowd of students and took off his hat.

"It seems that you failed to prevent me from entering Hogwarts, Headmaster." Harry smiled at him.

"Ho--!" The surrounding little wizards immediately dispersed, leaving enough space for Harry and Snape.

"Harry Potter, you actually walked into a trap!" The Carrow siblings immediately sounded the alarm, but the gate did not open and none of the Death Eaters stationed at Hogwarts responded.

"Oh, are you looking for them?" Wrinkles appeared in the space, and a young man in a suit and a windbreaker walked out.

Dozens of light blue bubbles were suspended above his head, with Death Eaters and Dementors solidified inside. There was also a circle of ribbons rotating outside the light ball, with strange runes engraved on the ribbons.

"What..." The Carlo siblings widened their eyes, but Edmund's hands were already gently placed on their necks.

"Good night."

The bubble unfolded from Edmund's hand, freezing the Carlo brothers and sisters inside inch by inch. The time inside the bubble was completely prohibited, so people with a lower power level than Edmund could not escape from it at all.

"Professor Flitwick, long time no see." Edmund placed his hands on his chest and bowed slightly. His golden pupils appeared extremely bright in the dim hall.
