Chapter 508: Slytherin Common Room
"Even if we're going to set up an 'emergency committee,' as you say, where are we going to find enough people?" Blake asked Darren his own question.
"Hands?" Darren glanced at Blake, "Aren't they?" he waved his hand in the auditorium. These people were able to stay and fight the Death Eaters when Voldemort attacked, which is enough to show their attitude, plus the people of the Order of the Phoenix, such as Mr. Weasley, can fully assume the position of the executive director of magical law, and Percy, he has been an assistant minister for so long, he must be very familiar with the whole operation, besides, the main job now is to deal with the Death Eaters, and other work can be put aside first, anyway, the Ministry of Magic was not in a hurry before, it's a big deal, let these students learn more memory magic, just resist it for the time beingγ β
"Well, this matter is too serious," Blake thought for a moment, "I'm afraid I'll have to talk to someone else." β
"Who else can I find?" asked Darren, "Dumbledore and Moody are dead, except for the Order of the Phoenix, should we go to the people who hid in their homes when Voldemort and the Death Eaters were rampant, and now are asking for power?"
"In front of Voldemort, it's normal for people to feel terror. β
"Well, until we get rid of the Death Eaters once and for all, let them continue to terror at home, I think that's normal," Darren said without hesitation.
"Is that what you think?" Blake looked into Darren's eyes.
"yes, don't you think it should be?"
"Why, are you so insistent?" Blake asked.
"Because I don't want me, or the people I love, to be like the Longbottoms. β
"......" heard Darren mention "Longbottom", Blake's eyes drooped, he knew what Darren meant, the last time Voldemort was in Harry? After Potter's loss, Bellatrix and her husband continued their allegiance to Voldemort and tried to figure out what was going on, they captured Auror Frank Longbottom and his wife Alice Longbottom, and used the Diamond Heart Charm on them, preferring to believe that their master was captured rather than conquered, so they tried to get his whereabouts, which was obviously impossible, and after being repeatedly applied, the Longbottoms went mad and were admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital, where they remained until now......
"But it's so important that I'm afraid I can't make a decision. β
"Since this battle is being organized by the Order of the Phoenix, then the Order of the Phoenix has the right to decide on the next move, just like we planned a decisive battle at Hogwarts, and now the Order of the Phoenix can make a decision, I only believe you and Lupin, is it, let's go to Snape?"
"Actually, Snape has done a lot too," Blake said of Snape, with a look of regret on his face, "I've always been ...... Unexpectedly, he would do this for Lily. β
"Lily?"
"You don't know that when he banished the Dementors, Snape cast a Patronus that was a deer, just like Lily's. Blake said slowly.
"Well, we can talk to him as well, but I hope you'll agree on this," Darren looked at Blake.
"Who else are you going to talk to about this?"
"I only trust the people of the Order of the Phoenix. β
"Then I think you should go to Lupin, Professor McGonagall, and Arthur and hear their opinions. β
Listening to Blake's words, Darren turned his head to look at the auditorium, except for Lupin lying next to him, he couldn't find anyone else, but Lupin was still unconscious, listening to Madam Pomfrey's meaning, he might need to be sent to St. Mungo.
At this time, there was another commotion from the door of the auditorium, it turned out that the people had moved Voldemort's body into the castle and placed it in a room outside the auditorium, at this time, the house-elves appeared, and they brought all kinds of food, and now the time was just right, Darren just felt that his stomach was empty, and he remembered that after coming out of 12 Grimmauld Place, he had not eaten anything, not even a sip of water.
He took the food from the house-elf's hand, handed Blake a glass of juice, and ate it, when suddenly, a huge eye appeared in the window, it was Glop, who was watching people eat and drink, and someone threw food through the window into his mouth, causing him to laugh.
"Darren," Suddenly, Darren heard someone calling him and turned his head, and it turned out to be Ginny.
"Ginny, what's wrong?"
"It's Professor McGonagall," said Ginny, "and she told me to come to you and say I had something to discuss. β
"Something?" Darren and Blake looked at each other, it was a coincidence, just now he mentioned that he was looking for Professor McGonagall, and so soon the other party came to him, "Oh, where is the professor?"
"In the Slytherin common room," Ginny said at the look of confusion on both Darren and Blake's faces, "Professor McGonagall said that she was going to discuss with everyone how to allocate rooms to rest, and now that the Slytherin dormitories were all empty. β
"Oh, I see," Darren and Blake nodded, indeed, in this battle, in addition to the students of Hogwarts, there were many people outside the school, except for the wounded and the dead, the rest of them needed to arrange a good place to rest.
"What about Professor Slughorn?" Darren remembered that after Snape became Headmaster, Slytherin had been temporarily in charge of Professor Slughorn.
Professor McGonagall didn't say. β
"Oh," Darren looked at Black, and Ginny shook her head, "Professor McGonagall only asked me to find you. β
Darren followed Ginny down the hallway, and as they walked deeper and deeper under the floor of the school, turning and turning like a labyrinth, Ginny stopped beside an empty, wet stone wall.
"Family!" When Ginny said the word, a stone door hidden in the stone wall slowly opened.
It was the first time Darren had entered the Slytherin common room, and found it a long, narrow, low basement, with walls and ceiling made of rough stone, round, green lamps chained and hung from the ceiling, and inside there was an intricately carved fireplace with a crackling fire, and what intrigued Darren the most was that in one of the windows he saw the sparkling waves, as if under the water.
However, there seemed to be no one here, and in the light of the fire and the windows of the fire, Darren looked around before he saw Professor McGonagall, seated in the carved chair in front of the fireplace.
"Professor McGonagall, are you looking for me?"
