Hogwarts Great Hall.

Snape was standing at the door, silently staring in the direction of the stairs.

The auditorium behind him was filled with all the students and professors from the four major colleges.

Even the D.A. members who had escaped earlier gathered here.

At this moment, people were whispering to each other and looking at Snape with dissatisfaction from time to time.

Originally, they should have all been lying in bed to rest at this time.

It was Snape who gathered them all in the Great Hall in the name of Dumbledore.

If that's all, forget it.

Anyway, in recent years, various serious incidents have occurred one after another.

Everyone has had the experience of being called to the auditorium to gather in the middle of the night, or even spending the night, so we are all mentally prepared for this.

However, they sat here for two hours and did not see Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall at all.

Snape himself didn't tell them what happened.

Finally, Professor Sprout couldn't bear it anymore.

She stood up and came to Snape's side and said:

"Severus, what happened?"

Snape said without looking back:

"You will know after a while."

"That's what you told me half an hour ago!" Sprout frowned, "and half an hour later, you say that again?"

Snape remained silent and continued to stare at the stairs.

This made Professor Sprout frown even more.

"oops--"

Upon seeing this, Professor Flitwick hurriedly ran over on his short legs and said, "Don't be angry, Pomona, Severus will definitely not harm us..."

"Stop it, Filius!" Professor Sprout interrupted, "Didn't you hear the sound of fighting outside just now? Something big happened at Hogwarts, Filius!

My students made it clear to me!

Umbridge led a large group of Aurors into Hogwarts, arresting students everywhere!

Michelle and the others have been captured, God knows what she is doing to those children?

So, Severus, have you surrendered to Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic and are following their orders to trap us in the Great Hall on purpose?"

"It shouldn't be... right?"

Flitwick's tone was full of uncertainty, and his eyes turned to Snape.

But Snape remained silent, his eyes fixed on the stairs.

It was only when Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick became impatient with waiting that Snape spoke:

"Ah, they are finally here."

After saying this, Snape let go of his body blocking the door.

At this time, Sprout and Flitwick finally saw the situation on the stairs clearly.

I saw John walking down the stairs immediately.

Behind him were Alice, Michael, and nearly a hundred Death Eaters escorting a group of prisoners and corpses.

[By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】

John and Snape looked at each other.

The latter nodded and then raised his wand.

"boom--"

The terrifying air wave directly hit Sprout and Flitwick, sending the two men flying back into the auditorium.

Immediately afterwards, John led the Death Eaters into the auditorium.

The corpses of Aurors were thrown into the corner one after another, and soon they piled up into a small mountain of corpses.

Umbridge's body was placed on the top of the mountain of corpses.

Dumbledore's body was carefully placed in front of John by Lucius, with the unconscious Professor McGonagall lying beside him.

Finally, Michelle and others, who lost their wands and were tied up, were pushed back into the crowd.

Holding back the severe pain, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, and the students and faculty in the auditorium all stared at John and others in disbelief, as well as...Dumbledore on the ground.

's corpse.

"This...what the hell is going on?"

Professor Flitwick said with a trembling voice.

Michel and others failed to answer Flitwick's question.

At this moment, their expressions were blurred, and they were looking at John with eyes that were too complicated to describe.

They should have hated John.

After all, John killed their most respected Professor Dumbledore.

However, John is their best friend and lover.

He is the guide who guides them forward.

He is a warrior who steps into the darkness alone to avenge Michelle!

He is the one they should worship, give flowers and applause to!

But unfortunately, John killed Dumbledore again...

This is a knot that combines all the emotions of Michelle and others.

Frustrated, depressed, sad, confused...

So many emotions, it's overwhelming.

"John...Alice..."

With her last hope, Michelle called softly.

However, neither John nor Alice gave her any response.

This completely devastated Michelle.

She opened her mouth, but no sound came from it.

Only tears flowed down silently from her face full of despair.

John was operating [Occlumency] at full capacity, trying not to look at Michelle who was crying silently.

"Dumbledore! I have killed him!"

He took a deep breath and announced loudly, "From now on, Hogwarts belongs to the Dark Lord! All of you also belong to the Dark Lord!

Rebels! Die——"

"Hulala-"

The Death Eaters all pointed their wands at the professor and students.

This made the crowd instantly commotion.

Only Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout and others standing at the front did not waver at all.

Professor Flitwick wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, withdrew his sad eyes from Dumbledore's body, then looked at John, and said softly:

"John, you are a bad person. I never thought that you, who was once so kind and good, would do such a thing.

But... you should know that, right?

I, Filius Flivi, may be a little smaller, but I was the champion of the dueling competition and a true dueling wizard!

The first creed of dueling wizards is that they must never surrender!"

Professor Sprout also took a step forward and said:

"I don't have as rich a life experience as Filius Flitwick. I am a very mediocre person, just like Hufflepuff House, ordinary and ordinary.

Maybe many people think that ordinary Hufflepuffs like us are a bunch of idle wastebaskets, and therefore look down upon us!

But what I want to say is,

The spirit of Hufflepuff is integrity, loyalty, honesty, and fearlessness of hardships!

So! Surrender was never an option for us!”

"laugh--"
