Chapter 1595: The Future of Hogwarts
After Hagrid left, Professor McGonagall turned to look at Evan and Harry.
"Aven, Harry, can you two come with me? She said, sighing, "Remus, Sirius, can you come together? Now that it's time to live and die at Hogwarts, you've been a professor at Hogwarts, and I'd like to hear your opinion on the future of the school." ”
"The future of the school?!" Sirius said, his voice hoarse, sounding strange, "Minerva, do you want to shut down Hogwarts......?!
"Dumbledore is dead, Sirius!"
Sirius's body froze violently, and silence returned.
Lupin tapped him on the shoulder, and Harry walked over to him and whispered to him.
Professor McGonagall shook her head and walked out of the room first.
Evan said "I'll see you later" to Hermione and Elaine, and walked out with Harry and Lupin and Sirius.
He didn't take the double snake staff, and Evan wasn't worried about losing the important magic scepter, but he had warned against anyone else touching it.
He was also thinking about what was going to happen next, Evan didn't care if Hogwarts would close the doors, and what needed to be dealt with urgently at the moment was the Twin Snake Staffs.
Not surprisingly, pursued by Voldemort and the Death Eaters, they were about to embark on their escape.
Evan can't carry the Twin Snake Staff with him, so he has to find a safe place to hide it.
This scepter is very important, and Voldemort needs its help if he wants to summon the evil god to come, and he can't get it.
Evan needed a place to hide his things in absolute safety, preferably inside Hogwarts......
That way, after confirming that Dumbledore couldn't come back, they could use the Twin Snake Staff to go to that world as soon as possible.
The corridor outside seemed empty, and the only sound was the singing of a phoenix in the distance.
No one spoke, and the five of them went their separate ways, and they followed Professor McGonagall towards Dumbledore's office.
Walking through the stone monsters, everyone silently ascended the spiral staircase and entered the circular office.
It was exactly the same as it had been when they had left for hours, the silver instruments humming and swirling on the thin-legged table, spitting smoke, Gryffindor's sword glistening in the moonlight in the glass case, the Sorting Hat still on the shelf behind the desk.
But Fawkes' perch was empty, and the phoenix was still mourning and singing an elegy on the field.
A new portrait has joined the ranks of the late Headmaster of Hogwarts House...... Dumbledore slept in a golden picture frame above the table, his half-moon glasses framed on his hooked nose, looking serene and serene.
Professor McGonagall glanced at his portrait, then made a strange gesture that seemed to harden herself before walking around the back of the table.
She looked at Aven, Harry, Sirius, and Lupin, her tense face wrinkled.
"Aven, Harry. She said, "I wonder what you and Professor Dumbledore did after they left school in the evening." ”
"I want to know too. Sirius said, "Aven, you said Dumbledore used that strange scepter, what did you do with it?"
"Connected to the evil gods, we found the twin serpent staff and the brain of the dastardly Helbo beneath Azkaban. Evan said simply, "In order to destroy it, Dumbledore used the Twin Serpent Staffs, at the cost of all his magical powers......"
Both Professor McGonagall and Sirius glared at Aven, as if digesting the absurd experience.
"You went to Azkaban tonight?"
"The brain of the despicable Helbo, you mean the dark wizard who transformed himself into a terrible monster?!"
"I really don't understand, why did Dumbledore ......"
"If you want to know more specific details, I can talk to you in a moment. Evan said, calmly looking back at Sirius, Professor McGonagall, and Lupin, "But this matter needs to be kept absolutely secret, and it must not be publicized or told to the Ministry of Magic." ”
"Well, I see!" Professor McGonagall said with a deep breath, "now is indeed not the time to study these, we need to prepare to ...... with the Ministry of Magic."
"Wait, Professor!" Harry said suddenly, "I have something to tell you before the Ministry of Magic comes. Rosmerta was under the Imperius Curse, and it was she who helped Malfoy and the Death Eaters, hence the necklace and poisoned mead......"
"Rosmerta?" Professor McGonagall asked in disbelief, Sirius frowning.
Before they could say anything, there was a knock on the door, and Sprout, Flitwick, and Professor Slughorn stepped into the room, followed by Hagrid, who was still crying, his massive body shaking with grief.
"I heard about it, Dumbledore is dead?!" Slughorn asked impatiently, he wasn't involved in tonight's defenses.
"Yes, Snape killed him!"
"Where's his body?"
"There is no corpse, because of a powerful magical item, the Twin Serpent Staffs left behind by Salazar Slytherin, whose magic consumed Professor Dumbledore's corpse. "But he did die, and many of them were witnesses." ”
"Snape killed him in front of me. Harry said in a low voice, "I saw Snape cast the Killing Curse on him, and the spell hit him ......"
"That vile bastard, I swear, I'm going to tear him apart. Sirius said hatefully.
"Snape!" Slughorn looked shocked, his face turning pale and sweating, "Snape! it's him! I taught him! I thought I knew him! I never thought he would do such a thing!"
Before he could reply, a high-pitched voice came from high on the wall, a yellow-faced wizard with black hair and short bangs who had just returned to his empty canvas.
"Minerva, the Minister arrives in seconds, he's just been apparitioned from the Ministry of Magic. ”
"Thank you, Evra. Professor McGonagall said, then quickly looked at the professors.
"Before the Minister arrives, I would like to talk about the next step for Hogwarts School, although Dumbledore's body has not been found, but from the current situation, Dumbledore is indeed dead, this is true news. She said quickly, "I personally think that under the current circumstances, our school will not be able to continue next year." The death of the Headmaster at the hands of one of our colleagues is a great stain on the history of Hogwarts, it's horrible!"
"If Hogwarts were to close its doors, it would be the greatest disgrace the school has ever had. Sirius said.
"We have to face reality, Sirius. Professor McGonagall said with difficulty, "The reality is that we don't have enough strength to protect the school, Voldemort ......"
The name seemed to cause the temperature in the office to drop rapidly, and Slughorn shuddered.
"I'm not afraid of Voldemort, I'll stay and guard Hogwarts. Sirius said, gritting his teeth and spitting out the words, "Even if I die." ”
Evan noticed that his hands were clenched tightly, and although his voice was calm and not as irritable as before, Sirius's heart was extremely unquiet at this time.
The Last Warrior, the Last Guardian, Sirius is definitely the hero who fights to the end......
