On the evening of April 30

Five

The Aurors have arrived at the Shell Hut—and now, Scrimgeour has found helpers, whether trained by the Aurors or not, are tentatively referred to as the Aurors.

——

"Have you already eaten?" Fleur was a little flustered, she was still preparing, and was surrounded by a large number of men. "Didn't you say that you would leave at half past six? ”

"Are you going to eat at six-twenty?" asked Scrimgeur, then looked at the followers behind him. "Let's go out and wait, it's too messy with a bunch of people crowded into the house, you guys hurry up. ”

At least two dozen wizards, who looked very strong, stood outside the shell hut blowing in the evening sea breeze, exchanging final mission details.

Inside, the members of the Order of the Phoenix begin to eat their last pre-war dinner.

"Don't be nervous, why doesn't anyone speak?" Lockhart asked with a smile.

"There are so many people waiting for us outside, hurry up!" Hermione said nervously, "Fleur, stop doing it, whoever is hungry later can let the elves in the Hogwarts kitchen make it for you!"

"Eat slowly, what's the hurry. Syreth shook his head, "Eat fast, we'll have to wait until half-past six." ”

"Can we hold Hogwarts—" Tonks became nervous as the incident came, as she and Lupin's children were already in their parents' house. After months of hiding, it's finally time to go into battle again.

"Gildelow has already arranged that if things go well with the Ministry of Magic, we won't need to stay long, and if the Ministry of Magic doesn't take it—" Lupin said, "The Aurors will retreat to Hogwarts and join us in dispersing the encirclement, and then gather wizards from all of Britain who are willing to rebel against the mysterious people to guard the new Ministry of Magic." ”

"Well, the Mystic has only been in control of the Ministry of Magic for a few months, and there must still be a lot of wizards who want to rebel against him. Lockhart said, "Light has verbally promised to help." It's nearly a hundred, and although they don't know our plans until now for the sake of secrecy, once the war starts, it's always okay to come and make up the numbers. ”

"I'm going to take the Cho family to Hogwarts first. Harry had no other relatives, and thought of his girlfriend.

"Hmm. ”

"You'll have to eat a little bit, and you'll be able to use your hands before the spell is powerful enough. Bill said solemnly. "Honey, give me some more ......"

"Me too!" Albert picked up the plate as well.

——

At half-past six, everyone packed up their belongings, and Fleur finished washing the dishes and put them in the cupboard. Walked out of the Shell Hut, closed the door, and stood with all the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors.

Whether things go well or not, they won't be back for a while.

"Let's go. Scrimgeour gave the coordinates of the destination and led the apparition.

A few seconds later, as everyone apparitions appeared in a field outside the village of Hogsmeade, Tonks accidentally stepped into a puddle of water, and Lupin quickly pulled her into his arms.

"It's all, and I can't even choose a visible position!" Scrimgeour criticized dissatisfiedly. Tonks blushed with shame. "Let's go, remember, if you want to phantom the shapeshifter, kill it directly, and leave a few alive. ”

——

Nearly forty wizards, including Lockhart. Against a dozen Death Eaters stationed in Hogsmeade, the battle ended quickly. The resistance was fierce and he was directly killed, and only two small minions without the mark of the black devil were left.

Many of the Death Eaters they killed may not have been able to die, but they were now unable to dedicate their hands to the captives. Nor can they all be let go at the risk of providing a living force for the enemy...... The two were left behind to send a false signal to the Ministry of Magic: Scrimgeour had appeared in Hogsmeade with all the "Renegade Aurors", and all the forces of resistance were here.

They threw the two remaining live ones on the side of the road. When the Ministry of Magic troops arrive, maybe an hour or two later, they'll wake up and tell the wrong information that Lockhart wants the Ministry of Magic to know.

Hogsmeade was now under the control of the Aurors and the Order of the Phoenix, and Aberforth was already waiting for them to use the secret passage at the Hog's Head Bar.

"Hermione, be careful. "You're not good at fighting, just hide behind Syris and Remus, and you're mainly in charge of H.A. and keep an eye on the Slytherin students." ”

"Be careful, too. Hermione hugged Lockhart's waist tightly, her worry and reluctance revealed.

"Let's go, don't be in love, the Floo network here may be cut off later. Scrimgeour urged.

"Leave him alone, there are so many people here who are going to be separated from my dear wife, what's wrong with saying a few more words. Lockhart took Hermione in his arms and defiantly approached Scrimgeur, "Why didn't your wife come to help?"

"But here comes my son, what about your son. Scrimgeour smiled disdainfully.

"Maybe in Hermione's belly, maybe in his own belly......" Kingsley joked. "Regardless of whether I think it is better for Gildelow to have a daughter, otherwise I don't know how many girls he will have to learn from his father in the future. ”

"Hey...... My son. Lockhart's hand slid over the thin chain that Hermione was hanging around her neck, followed it forward to reach for his Horcrux, pinched the orb, and shook his head unconsciously—if he couldn't find a way to lift the curse, he might never have a baby. "Okay, no kidding, now the watch, and then go their own way!"

All the people with the watches stretched out their arms and checked the time for a second, and then Lockhart let go of Hermione and apparitioned first—he was going to wait for Snape near Thurso.

The Aurors also began to apparition, scattering to several cities near London, where they would later travel to London via Muggle transport: if nearly thirty wizards were to apparition directly to London, it might alarm the Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic's Department of Traffic Management.

——

The two groups left as planned, and now only the Order of the Phoenix remained, and Hermione also touched the small gold ball hanging in her arms, which seemed to have Lockhart's body temperature on it, and I hope that the little thing in her hand will not be useful this time. She didn't let her thoughts run away, shoved the Horcrux into the collar of her coat, and turned to follow Aberforth and the others into the secret passage of the bar.

The passage was still as long and deep as it was, and by the time the Order of the Phoenix made its final uphill climb into the Room of Requirement, the castle where the room was located had actually fallen - all the Dementors had been drawn to Wick, who was "said to be the Savior", and there were only a few Death Eaters in the school, the strongest of whom was a spy.

When a group of people from the Order of the Phoenix arrived at the door of the school lobby amid the surprised gazes of passing students, it was exactly seven o'clock in the evening.

Because Snape said he was going to have a management meeting after dinner...... So all the Death Eaters, including himself, were eating dinner in the faculty seats.

Harry remembered Lockhart's request, suppressed his burning anger, and hid under the cloak of invisibility without showing his head. When Cyrus, Bill and the others pushed open the door and appeared at the door of the cafeteria, Snape, who was sitting at the front, stood up in an instant.

——

"You're so bold. Snape made a panicked look, it wasn't easy, he had almost forgotten what it was like to panic for more than a decade. "How dare you break into here!"

All the Death Eaters rose to their feet, wands drawn, and the students in the lobby who were eating dinner looked up at the door, and after a seeping silence, a long series of inhalations and whispers of exclamation came out of their mouths.

At this time, there was still a distance of thirty or forty meters between the two groups of people, and any wizard could easily dodge by launching a spell at such a distance, and attacking was also a waste of mana.

"Snape, even though you've fully defended the castle, we're easy to get in. "Now, you can choose to surrender and accept our trial, or fight to the death." ”

"Just you?" said Snape with his wand at the Order of the Phoenix, gritting his teeth, "You were never my opponent when you were in school, and you only dared to bully me with your friends, and now, one of your buddies is dead, and the other has betrayed you—are you still so arrogant?"

"I'll admit you're a little better than me, but I'm not going to fight you alone. Cyris looked left and right at the Order of the Phoenix behind him, and led them towards Snape. "Traitors are not qualified to ask for a wizard duel!"

Without further ado, McGonagall quickly drew her wand and stepped out of the group of professors, a spell shot at Snape.

The hall erupted in exclamations and shouts, and the scene was chaotic, and the students threw down their utensils, jumped up from their seats, and desperately dodged in both directions - all the students knew that this time it was for real!

Seeing McGonagall, the members of the Order of the Phoenix couldn't help but take the lead, and they also quickened their pace and rushed to the faculty seat.

——

"Stop her!" Snape shouted at the other Death Eaters in surprise, waving his wand to block McGonagall's blow, pretending to be ready to lay siege to her.

"Stop!" Professor Flitwick also burst out of the crowd, raising his wand and screaming, "You are not allowed to kill people at Hogwarts again!"

Every professor is not an ordinary person, and Flitwick, as the head of Ravenclaw, is extremely powerful, and his magic strikes Snape's Iron Charm, bursting into a cloud of light.

The addition of Dean Ravenclaw allowed Snape's plan to proceed earlier - he would have had to talk to McGonagall a few tricks before escaping, but if Flitwick and McGonagall attacked together, he would not be a match even if he was serious.

Without hesitation, he turned around and turned into a puff of black mist, smashing through a window in between the spells the Order of the Phoenix members firing as they ran towards him, and flew away from the castle in a direction that could apparition.

"This coward!" Cyris shouted angrily, but not prepared to pursue, but instead looked at the rest of the Death Eaters who were stunned by Snape's escape. "Kill them!"
