Chapter 489 Young Children
6 month.
The atmosphere at Hogwarts was dull.
A Muggle family died, this is already the No. 13 assault case.
The Aurors were helpless against the outlaws.
Sometimes it's a store, sometimes it's a family, and even high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Magic are threatened.
The former Dark Lord is back, and they are unscrupulous.
Old Batty suddenly lost his wisdom, and he was so stupid that it made people heinous.
His approval rating keeps falling, but there are no competitors, and Batty Sr. is not threatened at all.
Many students at Hogwarts have taken a long vacation. At this critical point in time, they no longer care about grades and exams.
In sixth grade, the Patil sisters' parents came to pick them up, and they didn't leave.
Seamus' mother also came over, and Seamus had a big fight with her.
"What do they think?" Ron, who could finally get out of bed, ate, "Dumbledore is here."
"You're right, Harry?"
Ron found that his little friend didn't agree with him. He turned his head and saw Harry was in a daze.
"Huh?" Harry came back to his senses and nodded perfunctorily, "Dumbledore is indeed here."
"What's the matter with you, Harry?" Hermione noticed that something was wrong with Harry.
"I'm fine," Harry said, shaking his head, remembering something. "Who saw Malfoy today?"
"Malfoy? What are you looking for?" Ron said in surprise, "But I saw Goyle go towards Hagrid."
"Hagrid?" Harry was taken aback, what did Goyle go to Hagrid for?
However, as Malfoy's follower, Goyle went to Hagana, which meant that Malfoy might be there.
Thinking of what he heard when passing by the bathroom on the second floor, Harry hesitated for a while, but still didn't go there.
"Ginny," Harry said, stopping Ginny who was about to go to the library, "have you seen Luna?"
"I don't know, maybe she went to the library, or took Tom out." Ginny shrugged and said, "I'm going to the library, I can inform you."
Ginny and Dean broke up.
The reason is that Dean always likes to take care of Ginny, and Ginny doesn't like that.
Ginny did not refuse the pursuit.
But it is a pity that Harry never found the opportunity to face his heart.
Both Ginny and Luna were in fifth grade, and they had to prepare for the owl exam, so Harry couldn't waste her too much time.
Harry didn't see the disappointment in Ginny's eyes, and wished Ginny a smooth review.
For some reason, Harry felt a little uneasy.
As if something is about to happen.
This feeling is very strong, like Harry's intuition when he discovered the golden snitch.
"It's time, I'm leaving, I can't believe it, I have to take the apparition test." Ron complained, "I mean, I've been in bed for nearly two months."
"Yes, all right."
Harry wasn't old enough to understand Ron's feelings.
Hermione passed her last exam.
A group of candidates for Hogsmeade leaves.
Harry looked at the much empty castle, and after flipping through two pages of "Advanced Potion Making", he decided to go in the direction of Hagrid's hut.
As he approached, he saw Malfoy coming out of Hagrid's cabin.
Hagrid said something to him, and Malfoy nodded and left.
Harry didn't know why he was hiding either.
Malfoy led Goyle past the wall where he was hiding.
The sound of footsteps gradually receded, and Harry poked his head out cautiously.
The book he put in his pocket accidentally dropped and was about to pick it up.
The other hand picked it up first.
It's Malfoy.
"When will you get rid of the habit of peeking at others, Potter." Malfoy smiled contemptuously, and casually opened the book Harry regarded as a treasure and glanced at it.
He frowned suddenly, staring at Harry and said, "Do you dare to steal John's book?"
"I didn't!" Harry retorted.
"Don't pretend," Malfoy sneered, "I can read John's handwriting, it's written by his right hand."
"and also……"
Malfoy turned to the first page and sneered, "Half-Blood Prince? You are so narcissistic."
It's nothing to be said by others, but when it comes from Malfoy's mouth, Harry feels quite ironic.
"Wait, this looks familiar to me."
Malfoy glanced 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 became even more powerful in Potions class. It turned out to be the result of stealing Slytherin." Malfoy said disdainfully, "I want to return it."
"Give it to me, Malfoy," Harry growled, "Why are you doing this?"
"Just because this is the head of Slytherin and the king of Slytherin, you really can't see that this is Professor Snape's note?"
Malfoy pointed to the words, which he had seen too many times on Snape's note when applying for Quidditch venues.
Harry was struck by lightning when he heard the words, he had been wondering who the Half-Blood Prince was.
In the end, it turned out to be Snape?
And the person he hated the most was Snape.
Harry watched Malfoy leave with the book, and he looked distraught.
He wasn't even in the mood to go to Hagrid's hut, he just wanted to be quiet.
Not long after Harry left, Hagrid hurried into the Forbidden Forest.
...
Harry went back to the castle.
It was getting dark, and Harry heard hurried footsteps and panic.
"what happened?"
All the students who went out for the exam ran back in a panic, and Harry grabbed Ron and asked.
Ron looked terrified, and Professor McGonagall behind him interrupted their conversation loudly, "Everyone go to the auditorium to gather, Harry, you go and inform Professor Slughorn."
Professor McGonagall's face was pale and frightening. He grabbed Harry's shoulder and said, "Voldemort is here."
that name.
After appearing, Harry was briefly absent-minded, but he recovered quickly.
Run to the principal's office as fast as you can.
When Slughorn hurried to the auditorium, Professor McGonagall had already called other professors.
"What's going on, Minerva?" Slughorn saw the preparedness.
Professor McGonagall took a deep breath, her fingers clenched at the knuckles and turning white.
Not long ago, Hogsmeade was attacked.
The attackers were Voldemort and his men, where the Aurors were killed and the students escaped.
"Has Hogsmeade fallen?" Slughorn was dumbfounded.
After getting an affirmative answer, Slughorn was in a daze.
"Horace, we have a decision to make."
Professor McGonagall was resolute and resolute, and said: "Voldemort's goal is Hogwarts, and we want to protect the castle."
"Y-but those people..." Slughorn hesitated.
Professor McGonagall said, "We have Albus."
Yes, Dumbledore is still there.
This old friend was usually so low-key that Slughorn almost forgot.
At these words, Slughorn regained his spirits.
"Strengthen your guard and protect the children."
Slughorn arranged a few words, and went to invite Dumbledore in a hurry.
The deans of the four houses were all there, and Snape glanced in the direction of Slytherin.
With the end of the conversation between Slughorn and Professor McGonagall, the entire auditorium has entered an atmosphere that was so tense that it almost vomited.
"Go and inform the other students,"
At this time, there are still many students around the school who don't know it. Professor McGonagall asked the students who came back from the exam to inform these things.
Professor Flitwick went to set up Hogwarts' defenses.
"Why did Voldemort suddenly make up his mind to attack Hogwarts?" Harry reacted quickly, and hurried to gather the former Dajun people.
Compared with other students, da has been trained and is stronger.
After a while, Harry saw Mrs and Mrs Weasley appear in the Great Hall.
Not only that, but other people were there too.
"Thank God, you're all safe." Mrs. Weasley hugged Harry and Ron.
"Sirius informed us," said Mr. Weasley. "We came over at the Pig's Head Tavern, and I didn't know there was a secret passage leading to Hogwarts there. It was destroyed and there were wounded people everywhere."
"Okay, don't say any more." Mrs. Weasley pulled Ginny and said, "Leave with me, Ginny."
"No, I'm staying here!" Ginny protested loudly.
Mrs. Weasley said loudly, "You're only fifteen!"
"John's 15-year-old almost killed Voldemort!" Ginny was not to be outdone.
But not everyone is John.
"Arthur, will the Ministry of Magic come to help?" Professor McGonagall entrusted Mrs. Weasley to help evacuate, and asked Mr. Weasley.
Mr. Weasley shook his head, "I'm afraid this matter is very difficult. We suspect that the Minister of Magic is under control, and the Ministry of Magic is now severely divided."
"It seems that we can only rely on ourselves." Professor McGonagall raised his wand and shouted, "Piertotumlocomotor"
The statues and armor in the corridor jumped off the brackets. Professor McGonagall said a little excitedly, "Actually, I have wanted to try it a long time ago. This is the power of the headmaster, but Horace is not available for the time being."
"Hogwarts is under threat!" cried Professor McGonagall. "Hold the borders and defend us. Do your duty for the school!"
The statues and armor ran out of the hall with a shout.
The students of the four courtyards were gathered in the auditorium and evacuated by the prefects of each courtyard.
If you are old enough, you can stay.
Dumbledore finally left the small office, but he couldn't stay away for too long.
Looking at those young faces, Dumbledore had mixed feelings in his heart.
