Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

After Snape left, the battle became more one-sided than the previous one in Hogsmeade. Even members of H.A. among the students hiding by the wall bravely stood up and attacked the desperate Carrow siblings and other Death Eaters.

Under the surprised eyes of almost half the school students, all the Death Eaters were subdued. Afterwards, all the teachers and students in the school began to gather in the lobby under McGonagall's notice.

"What's going on?" Professor Slughorn and others arrived first.

"Our Headmaster is taking a temporary break," Professor McGonagall said, pointing to the big hole in the window. “The castle now serves as the front line of resistance against the Dark Lord.

"What?" the fat old wizard shook the fat on his face and asked in surprise, "Then - it is unwise to do this, Minerva! He must have a way to break in. Whoever wants to stop him will definitely It would be very dangerous——"

——

"We must seal the school now," McGonagall said, no longer giving Slughorn or other professors a chance to ask questions, but decisively began to give orders. "Filch, take the Slytherin students to the lounge. Hermione, you, Albert, and whoever, go and watch. No one is allowed to be released without my permission!"

"Okay." Hermione glanced in Harry's direction and left with Albert.

"Longbottom, and you two Weasley brothers." McGonagall looked at Neville, Ron and Ginny and said, "You take all H.A. members and students in the school who are old enough and willing to fight, arm yourself, and do So ready for battle!”

"Understood!"

"And you." Mag looked at the remaining members of the Order of the Phoenix. "I and other professors will fight on the front line."

——

Everyone in the school moved. All Slytherins and the other three lower-grade students of the academy were rushed back to the lounge. The elves were called out of the kitchen and began to prepare to recharge the school's defensive magic at any time. .

Hagrid led the centaurs into the campus and gathered in the lobby and courtyard. Sculptures jumped from the walls of Hogwarts, filed out of the Room of Requirement's warehouses, and blocked every entrance to the school.

——

While everyone at Hogwarts was preparing for battle, the Death Eaters from the Ministry of Magic also began to gather nervously: the remnants of the "renegade Aurors" teamed up with the fleeing Order of the Phoenix members to attack Hogsmeade. They also occupied Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and kidnapped a large number of children of Ministry of Magic officials. Attempts to blackmail the Ministry of Magic - such a major case has not happened in months!

Through the assembly order, a large number of Death Eaters and hired wizards gathered in the hall of the Ministry of Magic. The formation was about to apparate to Edinburgh and use broomsticks to go to Hogwarts, where the floo network had been cut off, to eliminate the rebels.

Above their heads the perimeter of London. The Aurors led by Scrimgeour were already sitting in the vehicles arranged by MI5. As he approached the Ministry of Magic, some wizards on his contact list who were not strong enough or unsuitable to participate in the attack on the Ministry of Magic were also informed that they could go to Hogwarts to help.

——

On the eastern outskirts of Thurso, the northernmost point in the UK, in a small forest not far from the coast, the moonlight shines through the canopy of trees. A man in black robes suddenly appeared from the void. The moment he stepped on the ground, he alertly raised his wand and pointed it at another man a few meters away.

"How is Nagini?" He recognized the other party, but still asked in a confused and coded manner.

"Nagini is waiting for you to come here." The young-looking man opposite said, "You are too nervous, Severus. This world subdued me silently and turned into me. The person ambushing you here hasn’t been born yet.”

"Hmph." The man in black robe seemed a little disdainful, but did not refute. He tucked his wand under his cloak and walked side by side with the young man towards the sea.

——

"The school affairs have been settled." Snape spoke first after a few seconds. "There were no unplanned casualties."

"Very good. I just used a note to contact all the wizards I could contact.

Let all of them who are willing to help go to Hogwarts to assist in the defense. I don't care how many can go... Arthur told me that there is also movement at the Ministry of Magic, and all the dementors monitoring the Burrow have left. His two twin sons and his wife had also gone to Hogwarts after the dementors left. Lockhart said, "But he himself will not go to Hogwarts to help. Tomorrow he will go to the Ministry of Magic as normal. He is the only person in the Order of the Phoenix who can walk into the Ministry of Magic with such a big family. Backing is good. Although the salary is not good and there is nothing to do, just being a monk makes the clock tick. "

"Are we going to ambush the Dark Lord and Nagini here?"

The note in his pocket started to heat up again. Lockhart took it out and began to read.

"Fresh news," he put down the note, "Hogsmeade has been reoccupied by the first batch of wizards to arrive. The news about Harry in Hogwarts should not be leaked. So the fake Lockhart who took the lead Issuing an ultimatum will give the professors and students in the school, including the Aurors and the Order of the Phoenix, one night to think about it - giving the former the opportunity to find a way to kill the rebels who hijacked the school, and giving the latter the power to surrender Scrimgeour. If the time problem is not resolved, we will have to wait until eight o'clock the next day for their large-scale attack that may lead to friendly fire."

"Eight o'clock?" Snape asked nervously, "But you said Scrimgeour will attack the Ministry of Magic at nine o'clock, then within the hour. We-"

"What I'm most afraid of now is that the Dark Lord will also participate in the attack on Hogwarts tomorrow, which will be troublesome." Lockhart said, "If he arrives at Hogwarts, we can only attack him as soon as the attack starts. We lured him here and then tried to hold him back for an hour.”

"One hour?" Snape's face darkened, "Then we need to think of something better. The floo network around Wick has been cut off. We can summon the Dark Lord there and he will apparate to the nearest accessible location. , and then fly to the coordinates I provided, it can still be delayed for a while."

"Eight o'clock is still acceptable. If it is earlier, we will have to give up the assassination plan against Nagini and rush back to Hogwarts overnight to participate in the defense-" Lockhart scratched his chin, which was so bare. Only then did he remember that he had shaved off his beard in the morning, "In addition to the plan you mentioned, we also have to walk the mysterious man for a while... Well, then you will say that you found Harry, but the other person ran away on a broom. Quickly, you are chasing me. You have the mark of the dark devil, you should be able to sense it when he gets close."

"Yes, the function of the Dark Mark is much more complicated than the note you made. After activation, the Dark Lord and I can sense each other." Snape said, "But I need his permission to find him, but he They can know where I am at any time and even torture me."

"Tch - I will also make a fully functional note in the future." Lockhart was a little unconvinced. "Maybe this can delay it for a while, and then we'd better talk nonsense for a while - in this regard, the Dark Lord is a very likable villain boss. He will never make a move without saying a few words every time they meet. .”

"He hasn't taken the initiative to contact me through the Dark Mark yet," Snape said, "but I have told him the matter. I told him that Hogwarts was occupied by a bunch of renegade Aurors, but The savior is not among them. I took the initiative to come to Wick. If I can catch the savior and kill him, I can make the professors in the school who still have illusions about the 'savior' surrender obediently... He agreed."

"Very good," Lockhart boasted. "What is he doing now? Has he arrived at Hogwarts?"

"He doesn't feel love and has no sexual urges - so he doesn't waste his time on pretty witches," Snape said. "Let's take a guess as to how he spends his day. When he gets up in the morning, Have breakfast, maybe drink some wizard's blood...and then start toying with black magic. Studying black magic is his greatest pleasure. While experimenting with black magic, he can also find ways to strengthen his own strength... Are you tired? Sit down and think about it. Who else has not succumbed to his lustful power, how to deal with them, etc..."

"Haha, the more you talk about it, the more I feel like I can't beat him - it's absolutely impossible for me to spend more time studying dark magic than him. After all, I still have to eat, drink, have fun, and befriend beautiful witches -" Lockhart laughed He said, "Besides, I can never be as ruthless as him to make any modifications to my body, not to mention that I am younger than him, a mixed-blood wizard, and my mother is just an ordinary person born in a small family. A witch doesn't have such a magical life experience as his mother is a descendant of Slytherin."
