Chapter 489: Young Children

The atmosphere at Hogwarts in the month was dreary.

A Muggle family died, and this was the thirteenth case of assault.

The Aurors were helpless against the outlaws.

Sometimes it's a shop, sometimes it's a family, and even high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic are threatened.

The former Dark Lord is back, and they're unscrupulous.

Old Barty suddenly lost his wisdom and was outrageously stupid.

His approval ratings are declining, but there are no competitors, and Barty Sr. is not threatened at all.

There are quite a few students at Hogwarts who have taken long vacations, and at this critical point in time, they are already thinking about grades and exams.

In sixth grade, the Patil sisters' parents came to pick them up, and they didn't leave.

Seamus's mother also came over, and Seamus had a big fight with her.

"What do they think?" Ron, who was finally able to get out of bed, feasted, "Dumbledore is here. ”

"You're right, Harry?"

Ron noticed that his little friend hadn't echoed him, and he turned his head to see Harry in a daze.

"Huh?" Harry came back to his senses and nodded perfunctorily, "Dumbledore is here. ”

"What's wrong with you, Harry?" Hermione noticed that Harry was not in the right mood.

"I'm fine," Harry said, shaking his head as he remembered something, "Who saw Malfoy today?" ”

"Malfoy? What do you ask him for? Ron was surprised, "But I did see Goyle going to Hagrid." ”

"Hagrid?" Harry was stunned, what was Goyle doing in Hagrid?

However, as Malfoy's henchman, Goyle's trip to Hagner means that Malfoy may also be there.

Remembering what he had heard as he passed by the bathroom on the second floor, Harry hesitated for a moment, but still didn't pass.

"Ginny," Harry said, stopping Ginny as she was about to go to the library, "did you see Luna?" ”

"I don't know, maybe she went to the library, or went out with Tom." Ginny shrugged and said, "I'm going to the library, I can let you know." ”

Ginny and Dean broke up.

The reason is that Dean always likes to take care of Ginny, and Ginny doesn't like that.

Ginny didn't refuse to pursue.

Unfortunately, Harry never found a chance to face his heart.

Ginny and Luna were both in fifth year and had to prepare for the .l. exam, and Harry couldn't afford to delay her too much.

Harry didn't see the disappointment in Ginny's eyes, and wished Ginny a good review.

Somehow, Harry felt a little uneasy.

It's like something is about to happen.

It was a strong feeling, like Harry's instinct when he spotted the Golden Snitch.

"It's time, I'm leaving, I can't believe I'm going to take the illusion exam." Ron complained, "I mean, I've been in bed for almost two months. ”

"yes, okay."

Harry wasn't old enough to relate to Ron's feelings.

Hermione passed the last exam.

A group of Hogsmeade candidates departed.

Harry looked at the empty castle, flipped through two pages of Advanced Potions Making, and decided to go in the direction of Hagrid's hut.

As he approached, he saw Malfoy coming out of Hagrid's hut.

Hagrid said something to him, and Malfoy nodded and left.

Harry didn't know why he was hiding.

Malfoy led Goyle behind the wall where he was hiding.

The footsteps faded away, and Harry cautiously poked his head out.

The book he had put in his pocket accidentally fell and was about to pick it up.

The other hand grabbed it first.

It's Malfoy.

"When are you going to get rid of the habit of peeking at people, Potter?" Malfoy smiled contemptuously and casually opened the book that Harry had taken as a treasure and looked at it.

His brow furrowed suddenly, and he stared at Harry and said, "You dare to steal John's book?" ”

"I didn't!" Harry retorted.

"Don't pretend," Malfoy sneered, "I recognize John's handwriting, which is his right hand. ”

"And ......"

Malfoy turned to the first page and sneered, "Half-blood prince? You're narcissistic. ”

Being told by others was nothing, but coming out of Malfoy's mouth made Harry feel quite sarcastic.

"Wait, this one is familiar to me."

Malfoy scanned back and forth between the two fonts inside, suddenly thought of something, and sneered, "This belongs to Slytherin, you Gryffindor thief." ”

Harry tried to snatch it back, but Malfoy dodged him.

"I said how you were so powerful in Potions class, it turned out to be the result of stealing Slytherin." Malfoy said dismissively, "I'm going to give it back." ”

"Give it to me, Malfoy." Harry roared, "Why are you doing that? ”

"Just because this is the Dean of Slytherin and the King of Slytherin, you really can't tell that this is Professor Snape's notes?"

Malfoy pointed to the lettering, he had seen Snape's note too many times when applying for a Quidditch field.

Harry looked like he had been struck by lightning when he heard this, and he had always wondered who the half-blood prince was.

As a result, it turned out to be Snape?

And the person he hated the most was Snape.

Harry watched Malfoy leave with his book, looking dejected.

He wasn't even in the mood to go to Hagrid's cabin, he just wanted to be quiet.

Shortly after Harry left, Hagrid hurried into the Forbidden Forest.

...

Harry returned to the castle.

As it darkened, Harry heard hurried footsteps and panicked sounds.

"What's going on?"

The students who had gone out to take the exam all came back in embarrassment, and Harry grabbed Ron and asked.

Ron's face was frightened, and Professor McGonagall behind him interrupted their conversation loudly, "Everyone assemble in the Great Hall, Harry, you go and inform Professor Slughorn." ”

Professor McGonagall's face turned pale and frightened, and she grabbed Harry's shoulder and said, "Voldemort is here." ”

That name.

Harry briefly lost his mind after appearing, but he recovered quickly.

Run as fast as you can to the principal's office.

By the time Slughorn hurried to the Great Hall, Professor McGonagall had already called the other professors.

"What's going on, Minerva?" Slughorn saw the posture of the battle.

Professor McGonagall took a deep breath, her fingers clenching and her knuckles white.

Not long ago, Hogsmeade was attacked.

The attackers were Voldemort and his men, where the Aurors were killed and the students fled.

"Hogsmeade has fallen?" Slughorn was dumbfounded.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Slughorn lost his mind for a while.

"Horace, we're going to make a decision."

Professor McGonagall was resolute and said, "Voldemort's target is Hogwarts, and we want to protect the castle. ”

"But, but those people ......," Slughorn hesitated.

Professor McGonagall said, "We have Albus. ”

yes, Dumbledore is still there.

This old friend was usually too low-key, and Slughorn almost forgot about it.

As soon as he heard this, Slughorn reinvigorated his spirits.

"Heighten your vigilance and protect the children."

Slughorn arranged two sentences, and went to hurry to ask Dumbledore.

The heads of the four houses were there, and Snape glanced in the direction of Slytherin.

As Slughorn's conversation with Professor McGonagall ended, the entire auditorium had entered an atmosphere of tension that almost led to vomiting.

"You guys go and inform the other students,"

At this time, there were still many students around the school who were unaware, and Professor McGonagall asked the students who had returned from the test to inform them of these things.

Professor Flitwick goes to set up Hogwarts' defenses.

"Why did Voldemort suddenly make up his mind to attack Hogwarts?" Harry reacted quickly and hurried to gather the past. Army people.

Compared to other students, they are trained to be stronger.

After a while, Harry saw Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley appear in the auditorium.

Not only that, but there are other people who are there as well.

"Thank goodness you all didn't have an accident." Mrs. Weasley hugged Harry and Ron.

"Sirius informed us." Mr. Weasley said, "We came to the Hog's Head Tavern, and I learned that there was a secret passage to Hogwarts, which was destroyed and full of wounded people. ”

"Okay, don't say more." Mrs. Weasley pulled Ginny by the hand and said, "Come with me, Ginny." ”

"No, I'm going to stay here!" Ginny protested loudly.

Mrs. Weasley exclaimed, "You're only fifteen! ”

"John's fifteen almost killed Voldemort!" Not to be outdone, Ginny was not to be outdone.

Not everyone is John.

"Arthur, will the Ministry of Magic come to help?" Professor McGonagall entrusts Mrs. Weasley with help in the evacuation and finds Mr. Weasley for questioning.

Mr. Weasley shook his head, "I'm afraid this is very difficult, we suspect that the Minister of Magic has been controlled, and the magic part is now very broken. ”

"It seems that we are on our own." Professor McGonagall raised her wand and shouted, "Stone Pier Dispatch"

The statues and armor in the hallway jumped off the stands, and Professor McGonagall said with a little excitement, "Actually, I've wanted to try it for a long time, it's the headmaster's power, but Horace is not available for the time being." ”

"Hogwarts is threatened!" Professor McGonagall shouted, "Hold the borders, defend us." Do your duty for the school! ”

The statues and armor ran out of the foyer with a shout.

The students of the four houses were gathered in the auditorium and evacuated by the prefects of each college.

If you are old enough, you can stay.

Dumbledore had finally left the cramped office, but he couldn't leave for long.

Looking at the young faces, Dumbledore had mixed feelings in his heart.

...
