"Are you defending them?" Silver was unmoved, "it's not like you, Professor Dumbledore. ”

"Of course I'm not like me, because I'm who I am. Dumbledore's voice suddenly became lighter, "After Ariana died, I lived in a false shell of my own making. Why did I insist on staying at Hogwarts? even when the Minister for Magic put me in front of me? because I knew my nature, I couldn't hold power, power would corrupt me and make me fall, I was the kind of person who couldn't resist temptation. Whether it's Gellert or Tom, I'm just a little more cautious than they are. ”

"Genius is always different. "Just because you're different doesn't mean you're similar in other ways." ”

"Genius is the catalyst that amplifies 'evil'. Dumbledore said, "Talented wizards tend to go astray. Whether it's Merlin or the four founders of Hogwarts, whether it's Nicol Lemay or Gregory Efimovich Russ****, they have all put their talents to use in dangerous research, and if they take the slightest mistake, they will become the most dangerous dark wizards. ”

Dumbledore's semi-circular lenses reflected light.

"Isn't even your great-grandfather, Richard Silver, like that?"

Silver looked up at Dumbledore without fear, "We seem to be getting farther and farther apart, Professor Dumbledore. I just want to ask you one question now, the devil is coming now, are you on our side, or is it on his side?"

Dumbledore didn't speak, only to see a cloud of steam suddenly rise in the room......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"That's Potter!"

"Harry Potter!"

"It's him, I swear, I just saw him!"

The exclamations of the students who were running towards the Room of Requirement were incessant, but Harry did not respond, he was surrounded by Sirius and Ron and descended the stairs as they made their way to the Great Hall.

"Don't worry, Harry, we'll be able to catch up. Sirius patted Harry on the shoulder.

Harry Potter pursed his lips and nodded, but didn't speak—he hadn't been a talker since he had escaped from Malfoy's dungeon, and Sirius was worried about him.

Suddenly, a bunch of Harry's acquaintances appear under the stairs: Lupin, Kingsley, the Weasleys, Bill, Charlie, and the Weasley twins.

"Harry, Sirius, you're here too. Lupin greeted Harry at the bottom of the stairs and gave Sirius a warm hug.

Ron was also held in Mrs. Weasley's arms.

"Woo woo, my child, you must have suffered during this time. ”

"Don't be like this, Mom, didn't I tell you that I was safe? Ron felt a little embarrassed, and he tried to break free from his mother's arms. "Why are you all here?"

"We've received word that we're going to have a showdown at Hogwarts. George said.

"So we messaged the others," Fred explained, "and no one wanted to miss the fun, my poor little brother." ”

Taking advantage of Ron's "lock-in" by Mrs. Weasley, the twin brothers took the opportunity to touch his hair and make his neatly groomed hair into a bird's nest.

"So what now?" Sirius shouted, "How's it going?"

"They're evacuating the younger students, and everybody is gathering in the auditorium to wait for the arrangements," Kingsley said, "and we're ready to fight." ”

Roars poured in, and people poured towards the foot of the stairs. Harry, they had to stick to the wall and let them run past him.

"I don't think they need our help. Sirius's face was distorted as he was squeezed, "Why don't we just go to the Great Hall and hear how we should fight?"

Suddenly, another voice echoed throughout Hogwarts, drowning out Sirius's words. The voice was gentle, cool with an unmistakable cruelty, and it was impossible to tell where it came from, but it seemed to come from the wall itself.

"I know you're preparing to resist. ”

Screams erupted among the students, and some huddled in a ball, looking around in horror, looking for where the sound came from.

"Your efforts are useless. You are no match for me. I don't want to kill you. I don't want to shed the blood of wizards, because many of you are the future of wizards, and I can't bear to kill you. ”

There was silence, and this silence pressed against people's eardrums.

"I know two people must be here, Jack Silver and Harry Potter. ”

"Hand these two over," the voice continued, "and none of you will be hurt." Call them out and I'll keep the school safe. Hand them over, and you will be rewarded. ”

"You don't have any chance of winning, the brave can stick their heads out and look at the lineup on my side, you can't win. ”

"I'll wait until midnight, and if I don't give me a satisfactory answer, I'll just destroy you!" (To be continued.) )

PS: The pigeons are released again, but it will definitely end on May 3rd......
