Chapter 92: The Third Semester
Chapter 92: The Third Semester
Kill Dumbledore?
Now Sephiroth can't even smile bitterly, that's what we can kill? If you could do that, you'd have wanted to chop Voldemort first.
"Don't be too busy looking for reasons to refuse. Of course, I didn't expect much from you, and I still know a little bit about Dumbledore's strength. That's not something you can deal with, I need you to find the right opportunity to assassinate him, and if you can't do it, then I can't blame you. ”
It seems that Sephiroth is hesitant to resist, Voldemort is not too forceful, and now that the Order of the Phoenix is still strong, he doesn't want to start a civil strife among the Death Eaters.
Despite Voldemort's words, Sephiroth was still in a difficult situation. Although he was helpless, he could only respond.
"Understood, I'll do my best."
Sephiroth had no choice but to nod, anyway, in his prediction, Voldemort and Dumbledore should definitely be this year, and it would be okay to come down.
Voldemort waved his hand, and Sephiroth understood, and he bowed and retreated.
"How so?"
Voldemort's request, and Mr. Stirling the Great knew about it, and he became restless.
Sephiroth is the heir to the Stirling family, and if something happens to him, then who will inherit the Stirling family.
"There's no way, Hogwarts is too dangerous next semester, so let my sister start taking a leave of absence. I'll be careful. ”
Facing his father with a sad face, Sephiroth just said lightly.
"Don't worry, His Highness the Dark Lord is not mandatory, and I won't act rashly."
Sephiroth in turn comforted his father with a few words, since he was on the broken ship of the Death Eaters, how could he behave a performance.
"Alas~" Mr. Big Stirling sighed in despair, the spirit of being the acting minister of the Ministry of Magic before was gone.
"I, can't I go to Hogwarts?"
My sister was a little sad and asked a little unwillingly.
"I'm afraid it's going to become a battlefield, so it's better not to go. As far as I know, the Dark Lord has now sent Lucius to make alliances with dark creatures like werewolves and vampires. I'm afraid it's not long before the day of the fight. ”
Sephiroth's voice was quite emotional, Hogwarts is a good place, everyone wants it. Voldemort wanted it, Dumbledore didn't want to let go, and the people from the Ministry of Magic wanted to intervene too, and Sephiroth really couldn't see that it was any good.
If it weren't for the fact that there was only one wizarding academy in the British wizarding world, how could such a thing happen.
"Listen to your brother, wait until this turmoil is over, and then go to school if you want to."
If the boy is the heir and must bear these risks, then his daughter, Mr. Big Sterling, can't bear to push them into this crater.
"When school started tomorrow, I asked my mother to take my sister to the eldest sister's side and go abroad to hide together. Regardless of the fight between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters, it will not go abroad. ”
As two men in the family, Sephiroth and his father arranged for their mother and two sisters without saying a word.
This can be regarded as arranging a way back, even if Big Sterling and Sephiroth fail, at least there is still a bloodline to pass on.
So it was night, and everyone lay down in their beds with different thoughts, quietly waiting for the sunrise to come.
After sunrise, some people will face the challenges of life and death, and the other part will go away, maybe after this is the separation of yin and yang, or maybe it will be many years before zaijian.
War is brutal, and no matter how small it may be, the brutality of war will not change.
The night passed, and the rest of the Stirling family, with the exception of Sephiroth, who had fallen asleep safely, had lost sleep.
The next day, they came out of the room with a pair of dark circles under their eyes, finished their breakfast in silence, and parted ways at the gate.
Sephiroth went to school, Mr. Stirling turned around and went back to the manor, while his mother and sister prepared to take refuge in another country.
It wasn't long before Sephiroth returned to school, seeing many familiar faces and empty seats.
This holiday, the war between the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix is becoming more and more obvious, and even ordinary wizards are no longer dodging, and now no one in the wizarding world knows that the Dark Lord is back again, and the war has begun.
The Daily Prophet also admitted their mistake, and they could not continue to deceive themselves, because Voldemort appeared openly in the wizarding world.
Yes, yes, publicly, to make his comeback public. Because he thinks he has enough support for many dark creatures to come to him, he believes that his shili is no less than it once was.
Every day, every day, some unfortunate news can be heard. The news that so-and-so has been killed again, or that Dumbledore has eliminated a few more evil dark wizards, and so on always goes viral, even Sephiroth, who hides at home and doesn't go out much, has heard a lot.
In fact, Sephiroth admired the reporters of the Daily Prophet, who never let go of their work, no matter how dangerous the situation. It seems that no matter which Shijie journalist, Muggle or wizard, they are a bunch of crazy people who want news and don't want to die.
"Draco, not for a vacation."
Sephiroth was glad that at least there weren't many people at the Slytherin table, perhaps because they were all born into wizarding families.
On the contrary, the students of the other three colleges are far behind. Quite a few long tables were at least a third empty.
This year, there are far fewer students, less than 40, which is a pitiful few.
"Well, look at Hogwarts now, where it used to be."
Draco didn't answer Sephiroth, but looked sadly at the rest of his classmates, each with a straight face, and where could he still see the loud smile he had when he entered the first year. Draco was a kind-hearted child after all, and he was not sad to see this kind of scene, but for the sake of their family, he could only go into the dark.
"It's not all our responsibility."
Although it was true that the Death Eaters set off a wave of terror, how could a single slap be so loud without the Order of the Phoenix being another slap.
"At the end of the day, it's all Dumbledore's fault for deceiving people too much and pushing them too far."
Shabini also interjected, his family is in business, and like Malfoy, he is always forced by Dumbledore's people to steal profits, and he hates the Order of the Phoenix the most.
"Draco, don't feel sorry for those people, Muggle wizards like this are all dead."
Pansy also said viciously that her father had been seriously injured in the battle, and if it hadn't been for Lucius's desperate pull, he would have almost never come back.
"Well, what is this, who can benefit from fighting like this."
Draco looked down.
"It's not that we won't be able to gain any benefits, but if we don't fight back, our pure-blood wizards will be finished. This is for the need to survive. ”
"Let's have a good chat. Straw Bag Lockhart seems to be late for his work as a professor, who do you think will be our Defence Against the Dark Arts professor this year? ”
Sephiroth patted Draco on the shoulder.
Aside from Slytherin, only the self-proclaimed Gryffindor student returned to school the most, just a few fewer than Slytherin. It can be called a large number of people.
On the other hand, the Gryffindor trio was also talking about what they knew about the holidays.
"The bad wizards in Slytherin have finally bared their viper fangs, look what they've done, what they've made the wizarding world look like."
Ron burned to the heart, and waited for the Slytherin table across from him with hostility during his meal.
"It was so terrible that my parents almost didn't allow me to go back to school, and I tried to persuade them for a long time to get them to agree to me coming back. I told them that Hogwarts was the safest place in the wizarding world. Because there's Professor Dumbledore here. ”
Hermione ruffled her long hair from her forehead and patted her heart.
"They're fighting, aren't they? Serious? A lot of people died? ”
Perhaps the most ignorant person is Harry Potter, who is unlikely to receive the Owl's Daily Prophet while staying at his aunt's house.
"It's very serious, I heard that even Professor Dumbledore is injured."
Ron swallowed, honestly he was the most timid of the trio.
"Harry, look at the empty seats on the bench, there are a lot of people in there who may never come back, I heard they were killed in the attack."
Ron whispered in Harry's ear, and he vaguely gestured to the empty seats on the long table.
"Students, the future will be a difficult time, but we will not give up hope because of this. Children are the future of the wizarding world, and we will do everything in our power to protect you from harm and give you peace of mind that you can learn at Hogwarts. ”
"Be vigilant, we should be careful, danger is all around us."
"Then, let me introduce you to your new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, who is also a Hogwarts graduate of yours, and you may call him Professor Lupin."
As usual, Dumbledore gave an annual and inevitable speech, and by the way, he introduced them to the unfamiliar face sitting in the professorship. In fact, seniors above the second grade have already guessed what he is here for.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, and I'm so excited to be a professor at Hogwarts, it's been a dream of mine, and for that I would like to thank the Headmaster, Professor Dumbledore, who invited me to be a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts. xiexie you! ”
A middle-aged man dressed in a very plain or shabby look stood up from the professor's chair, looking yellow and thin, presumably his past life must not have been very good.
He was very pleased with the enthusiastic and intense applause from the Gryffindor students. Because, he also came out of that academy.
"Oh, he looks like a bum."
Sabini couldn't believe that such a man was going to become a professor in their Defence Against the Dark Arts class, a wizard who had a hard time even supporting himself, who would believe how much he really had to do. He's had enough of idiots like Lockhart.
"With a poor and sour face, God knows where Dumbledore found him."
Pansy agreed, the other party's clothes were not as good as her servants, and Pansy would never wear a robe made of this fabric, even if she used it to rub the table, she was worried about wiping her own table.
Another member of the Order of the Phoenix, Hogwarts was almost overthrown by Dumbledore.
Sephiroth didn't have the time to think about anything else, it seemed that Dumbledore took Hogwarts very seriously, and put all his men into his own members, and Slytherin was afraid that it would be much more troublesome to do something at Hogwarts.
