"Dumbledore, no time for joking! The Death Eaters are preparing to attack Hogwarts tonight!"

As soon as these words were spoken, most of the magical portraits on the wall immediately woke up and stared at Snape below in disbelief.

The smile on Dumbledore's face disappeared, and he frowned and said:

"Are you sure this news is true?"

"This is what Narcissa told me personally. Her son Draco found a disappearing cabinet in the Room of Requirement, and the other sub-cabinet matching the disappearing cabinet is now in the hands of that person. He will die tonight.

The disciples will launch a raid on Hogwarts through the disappearing cabinet! And the reason Narcissa told me these things was entirely because Draco was forced to participate, and she wanted me to protect her son!

"

Dumbledore's face turned extremely dark. He glanced out the window at the afterglow of the evening sun and murmured:

"Since you didn't bring the disappearing cabinet, does that mean that the disappearing cabinet in Hogwarts has disappeared?"

"You guessed it right," Snape said, "I had already been to the Room of Requirement before coming here, and the Vanishing Cabinet is no longer there."

"It seems that today is the time for me, an old man, to dedicate his life to Hogwarts."

Dumbledore looked calm and said while removing the straps on his arms.

But Dumbledore's words shocked Snape, and he said hurriedly:

"Dumbledore! You can't die here! You are..."

"There is nothing wrong with it. I am the principal of Hogwarts, and it is my responsibility to protect the students. From the first day I sat on this chair, I was ready to sacrifice for this school."

Dumbledore looked at the many portraits of former principals hanging on the wall and said, "What do you think?"

The portraits all nodded happily towards Dumbledore, but this made Snape very angry. He glared at the portraits and was about to continue to persuade Dumbledore to escape, but the latter was the first to do so.

Said step by step:

"Snape, do what you should do. Draco is not inherently bad. Protect him. You have already promised Narcissa, haven't you?"

After saying this, Dumbledore showed a kind smile to Snape, while the latter stood there blankly, with a gloomy expression.
