Professor McGonagall was so quick that Harry couldn't believe it.Her wand whizzed through the air, and Harry thought for a moment that Snape would collapse deliriously, but his Iron Armor Charm was so swift that it knocked McGonagall off balance.She swung her wand at a torch on the wall, and the torch immediately flew from its holder.Harry, who was about to curse Snape, had to quickly drag Luna aside to avoid the falling flames.The flames turned into a ring of fire, filled the corridor, and flew toward Snape like a noose—

Then it was no longer fire, but a huge black snake, which Meg blew into black smoke.Within a few seconds, the black smoke deformed and solidified, becoming dense daggers chasing after it.Snape had no choice but to block the suit of armor in front of him, slamming the dagger against the armor's breastplate, and kept——

The Carlo brothers and sisters who somehow untied Professor McGonagall's rope came later, but they were not fully awake yet. The female Death Eater raised her wand with bared white teeth, and the male Death Eater said inarticulately, " She...Potter...nearby" or something like that.

"Minerva!" said a shrill voice, and while still shielding Luna from the shuttle spell, Harry looked back to see Flitwick and Professor Sprout hurrying down the corridor in their pajamas. , the bloated Professor Slughorn followed behind, panting.

"Stop!" Flitwick screamed, holding up his wand, "You're not allowed to kill any more people at Hogwarts!"

Flitwick's spell hit Snape's armor, which was used as a shield, and with a crash, the armor came to life.Snape desperately broke free from the iron arm that was squeezing him tightly, and miraculously caused the armor to hit the Carroll brothers and sisters behind him.The two Death Eaters who had just woken up fell in the middle of the corridor again, life and death.Harry and Luna dodged as the armor smashed into pieces against the wall.When Harry looked up again, Snape hurried into a classroom, and a moment later Harry heard McGonagall shouting, "Coward! Coward!"

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Luna asked.

Harry pulled her up from the floor, and the two put the cloak behind them and ran down the corridor into the empty classroom, where McGonagall, Flitwick, and Professor Sprout were all standing in front of a shattered window .

"He jumped," said Professor McGonagall as Harry and Luna rushed into the classroom.

"You mean he's dead?" Harry rushed to the window in two steps at a time, ignoring Flitwick's and Sprout's screams of surprise when he suddenly appeared.

"No, he's not dead," said Professor McGonagall angrily. "He's not like Dumbledore, he still has a wand in his hand... and he seems to have learned a few tricks from his master."

Harry saw in the distance a large, bat-like figure flying through the darkness towards the wall, and he couldn't help feeling terrified.

Gwen sneaked into the Room of Requirement, and vaguely heard something going on in the Ravenclaw common room. The Death Eater Amycus Carrow, who had been prowling the corridor just now, began violently attacking the door of the lounge.She didn't dare to hesitate, and slipped in as soon as a low door appeared in the Room of Requirement.

She came in just as Lupine and Kingsley jumped into the house through the opening of the tunnel.Cedric and Mad-Eye were writing and drawing on a blackboard conjured up by the Room of Requirement, which appeared to be a map of the Hogwarts campus.The students gathered around the blackboard and listened to the class in a decent manner, and Gwen somewhat missed Moody's time as a professor (actually, it was Crouch Jr.).

"Katie!" Gwen exclaimed excitedly as she saw the next head emerging from the hole, her friend Katie Bell arriving from the Quidditch team with her husband Oliver Wood.Followed by the great girls from the former Gryffindor school team, Angelina Johnson and Alicia Spinnet.Fred's eyes were sharp, and he immediately went to catch up with his first girlfriend.

"Why are you here!" Gwen asked while hugging Katie.

"We can't miss it!" Katie looked more mature than when she was a student. Her smooth long hair was tied tightly behind her head, and she was as sassy as before every Quidditch match. "Some say Harry's back at Hogwarts, and we think he needs help—whether it's with the Death Eaters or Snape."

"Oh!" Gwen's eyes were a little hot. "You must not have seen Ginny, and a lot of old friends—they're across the room."

"I'll go say hello to them," Katie shook Gwen's hand, "and then let's go and listen to Professor Moody's tactical arrangement—I just heard him say 'security breach'?"

Gwen nodded, hid behind a curtain in the Room of Requirement when no one was looking, and pulled an extendable ear from her pocket.It was the pair she had tucked into Snape's robes when she went to the Headmaster's office.

"Have you seen Harry Potter, Minerva? If you have, I must emphasize—"

Then there was the sound of swishing spells, explosions, and the sound of iron armor being violently impacted.

"Minerva!" That must be Professor Flitwick, thought Gwen. "Stop! You are not allowed to kill anyone at Hogwarts!"

"Cowards! Cowards!" came the voice of her dean.

After that, there were no human voices, only the whistling wind remained.

Not so good.thought Gwen.How could she tell where Professor Snape was if there was no sound?Worse, he seemed desperate to see Harry - which, in Gwen's opinion, was even more outrageous than Kreacher offering Hermione tea.Unless, he had a reason to see Harry.

Can I really complete the task you gave me, principal?Gwen bit her lip, pinching the little retractable ear.

There was a heavy footstep and a wheezing sound behind him: Slughorn was after him.

"Harry!" he gasped, massaging his large breasts in his bright green silk pajamas, "my dear child... what a surprise... Minerva, please explain... Severus... how……?"

"Our headmaster is temporarily resting." Professor McGonagall pointed to the big Snape-shaped hole in the window.

"Professor!" Harry yelled, putting his hands to his forehead.He saw the lake full of infernal corpses passing by as he lay down, felt the eerie green boat bump gently against the shore of the underground lake, and Voldemort jumped out of the boat with a murderous look——

"Professor, we have to lock down the school, he is here!"

"Very well, here comes the monster," Professor McGonagall said to the other teachers.Sprout and Flitwick gasped, and Slughorn snorted.

"Potter has work to do in the castle at Dumbledore's orders. We must do our best to provide every kind of cover and let Potter do what he has to do."

"You know, no matter what we do, it's impossible to keep You-Know-Who out for long, don't you?" Flitwick said sharply.

"But we can keep him contained," Professor Sprout said.

"Thank you, Pomona," said Professor McGonagall, and the two witches solemnly exchanged a knowing glance, "I suggest setting up a basic security around the school, and then gather the students to meet in the Great Hall. Most The students have to be evacuated, but if there are adult students who want to stay and fight, I think they should be given that opportunity."

"Agreed," said Professor Sprout, and hurried towards the door, "I will meet you in the auditorium with the students from our school in 10 minutes."

She trotted away, and they heard her muttering, "Poison tentacles, devil's net, pimple vine pods... yeah, I'd like to see how the Death Eaters deal with these."

"I can start here." Flitwick said, although he couldn't see the outside clearly, he pointed his wand out of the broken glass window and whispered a very complicated spell.Harry heard an odd whirring sound, as if Flitwick had unleashed the force of the wind on the playground.

"Professor," said Harry, approaching the little Charms teacher, "Professor, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but this is important. Do you know where Ravenclaw's diadem is?"

"...Super armor protection - Ravenclaw's diadem?" Flitwick said in a shrill voice. Not very useful!"

"I'm just asking—do you know where it is? Have you seen it?"

"See it? No one in living memory has seen it! Long gone, boy!"

Harry felt a sense of desperation and nervousness.So, what exactly are Horcruxes?

"Flitwick, we'll meet you and the Ravenclaw students in the Great Hall!" Professor McGonagall finished, motioning Harry and Luna to go with her.

They had just reached the door when Slughorn began to speak in a whimpering voice.

"Gee," he gasped, his pale face dripping with sweat, his walrus whiskers trembling slightly, "that's quite a mess! I don't know if it's wise to do that, Minerva. Surely he's got a way in." Yes, anyone who wants to stop him will definitely be very dangerous—"

"I also hope that you and the Slytherin students will gather in the Great Hall in 10 minutes." Professor McGonagall said, "If you are willing to take the students away, we will not stop you. But if any of you want to disrupt the resistance, Or take up arms against us within the castle, and then, Horace, we shall fight to the death."

"Minerva!" said Slughorn, terrified.

"It's time for Slytherin House to decide its allegiance," interrupted Professor McGonagall. "Go and wake your students, Horace."

Harry didn't stay to watch Slughorn hem and haw,
