Chapter 454: The Endgame at Hogwarts

The dawn of dawn appeared far on the horizon.

At this time, Hogwarts Castle has regained its former calm.

The students had returned to their common rooms, where they had slept peacefully, the Aurors and teachers had returned to their posts, and even the ghosts had snoozes in mid-air......

Except for the faint smell of burning in the air, reminding everyone of what had happened in this castle before.

Professor Minerva-McGonagall walked out of the Gryffindor Tower, and it obviously took a lot of effort to get all the Gryffindor students into bed at such a time.

She walked briskly to the eighth floor of the castle and caught up with a figure in front of her.

"Professor Dumbledore......!" Professor McGonagall shouted softly.

"Minerva......" Albus Dumbledore stopped, his face equally full of exhaustion: "Good evening...... No, I mean, good morning!"

Professor McGonagall smiled at first, then asked with a serious face, "How's the situation, have you extinguished the terrible flame?"

"I think so......" Dumbledore nodded tiredly, "How are the students and teachers?

Professor McGonagall replied, "It's fine...... The battle on both sides did not affect the ordinary students...... Several of the Aurors guarding the gate were slightly injured...... And Hagrid, who seems to have been bitten by a strange magical animal, but it doesn't affect much......"

“...... The only one who was seriously injured was Horace, who was still in a coma, and Madam Pomfrey said he would be well soon!" Professor McGonagall continued, "I was preparing to visit Horace at the University Hospital...... Headmaster, are you coming with me?"

"No!" Dumbledore shook his head, "I think I need to rest for a while...... There's a mess over there at the Order of the Phoenix that I need to deal with......"

"Order of the Phoenix......" Professor McGonagall's brow tightened, "I heard bad news...... Heard about Kingsley...... Kingsley: ......"

"Ah-" Albus Dumbledore let out a long sigh, "You should rest early, Minerva!"

With that, he bowed his head and walked into the principal's office.

Professor Minerva-McGonagall paused for a moment in front of the giant stone monster, reached out and wiped the tears from her eyes, and left!

......

However, inside the principal's office, it seems that it is not as pessimistic as outside.

"Everything is going well...... "An elderly headmaster with a bald head shouted at the top of his voice, "Jon, as you might expect, the boy named Draco Malfoy, left the school two hours ago and his whereabouts are unknown......"

"I eavesdropped on the school hospital for a long time...... The Potions teacher should have woken up before noon, he was just under a stun spell......"

"I've just been informed by the Ministry of Magic that ...... Daily Prophet won't publish any details about the attack...... But most Ministry of Magic officials can 'accidentally' learn the truth......"

The male and female principals chattered and discussed.

Jon Hart sat on the headmaster's bench.

"Honestly...... I wish I had some rest now!" He said helplessly, "but there is one more thing I need to deal with......"

As he spoke, he took out a plain iron ring from his pocket and put it on his hand.

"I really don't understand...... What is the purpose of putting on this play with such a lot of effort?" Principal Phineas Black's voice suddenly came from the wall on one side, "Could it be that you really expect that Malfoy boy to make any contribution?"

The principal's office, which was still bustling just now, instantly fell silent.

All the old principals, men and women, pricked up their ears, but on the surface they were busy with their own things.

"Phineas, have you forgotten our duties?" Principal Dalys-Devonte criticized with some displeasure, "We don't need to know everything, we just need to execute!"

"I'm curious!" Phineas Black said with a grim smile.

"Actually, there's nothing you can't say......" Jon shook his head nonchalantly, "That's why I did this...... It's because of the situation at this stage, which is very bad for us!"

"Oh, how so?" Phineas Black quickly cheered up.

"First of all, there's a very bad reality...... Jon said calmly, "that is, all Albus Dumbledore's Secret Loyalty Spells have been broken!"

"Huh?" Phineas Black let out a strange scream, and he quickly covered his mouth.

"Albus Dumbledore is dead, and his soul is returning to this world in another form...... So, all the spells about his soul are invalid!" Jon continued, "For example, at 12 Grimmauld Place, the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, everyone who knows its address from Albus Dumbledore has become its secret keeper!"

"It's not just the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix...... There are many other Order of the Phoenix colonies, and they are all unsafe now!"

"That's why you're ......," said Daris Devonte, thoughtfully.

"Yes...... I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't come up with any effective solution......" Jon nodded, "Once the Death Eaters find out about this, they can immediately guess that 'Albus Dumbledore' died unexpectedly...... Then without Dumbledore's deterrence, Tom can appear unscrupulously, and Hogwarts is likely to be in danger......"

"So you created this accident?" Phineas Black asked in a low voice.

"That's right......" Jon smiled, "Gellert Grindelwald, who escaped from Newmondgard, broke Dumbledore's Curse of Loyalty and launched an attack on both the Order of the Phoenix and Hogwarts...... That's barely a reason to say it!"

"And Tom hasn't had a good time lately...... Encountering such an unexpected 'surprise', I think he must be happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and be silent for a while!"

"But how long can you hide it, Jon......" Headmaster Daris Devonte said with some concern.

"I don......'t know," Jon said calmly, "but it won't be long before we're back in control!"

As he spoke, Jon looked at his watch.

"It's almost time!" he said, standing up first, and then as if to himself, "it's time to send our friend out of England!"
