"Roar"

The moment that roar like thunder pierced the night sky, several clouds of thick black gas broke through the sky from afar with long tails.

They bring not only an evil aura, but also a panic born of the unknown.

But just as a few clouds of black gas wanted to rush directly into Hogwarts Castle in the air, they all fell straight to the ground as if they had hit an invisible wall.

"Bang!"

With a splash of rubble, they landed heavily in front of the school gate one after another, smashing the road into several shallow craters.

If you are interested, you may be able to see that the moment it is blocked by an unknown barrier, a rune faintly appears in the sky above the castle.

This is not the original defensive magic of Hogwarts Castle, but the work of Dumbledore, who is holding his wand at the moment.

Single-handedly, he can cast a spell that protects the entire castle, which is the true strength of Dumbledore, the old white wizard.

"Roar"

A few more wild roars, and several humanoid creatures covered in black gas suddenly stood up in those pits, looking very evil. After roaring in the sky, they rushed straight to the school gate without hesitation, striking with all their might.

The transparent barrier still blocked their progress, but perhaps because the scope of the defense was really a little large, it was actually caused by their continuous thrashing and impact, and there were visible vibration ripples to the naked eye.

The barrier is constantly denting!

If Maca was here, he would have recognized it at a glance as the "Black Death" mentioned repeatedly in the Book of Sin!

Those guys were originally wizards, but they lost the ability to use magic, and the magic power in their bodies was also released, turning into a rich black gas that wrapped around themselves.

While they have gained immense power, their resistance to magic is unusual, but at the cost of most of their wisdom and tainted souls that can never be purified.

By this time, the members of the Order of the Phoenix had withdrawn into the school, and the Hogwarts side of the line was compressed.

But at this moment, no one on the Death Eaters' side dared to take this opportunity to chase after them, because they still had their senses.

When they saw Dumbledore standing at the school gate, no one would care about their own life or death like the Black Dead who stood within a few feet of Dumbledore and banged on the barrier without hesitation.

Sure enough, when a pillar of red light flashed by, the Black Dead flew backwards as if they had been hit by a train.

Dumbledore stood at the school gate with the Elder Wand in his hand, calmly facing him, and he alone had stunned all the Death Eaters in place.

But the Black Death didn't get any harm, and even Dumbledore couldn't hurt them with just a single blow.

I saw them rushing towards this side again. Dumbledore's expression remained unchanged.

He was waiting, waiting for the person who was supposed to come to show up himself.

……

Outside the castle, the Death Eaters were fierce, but Dumbledore alone kept them out of the school gates. Inside the castle, however, the situation was not stable.

Most of the young wizards were frightened, after all, they were just children.

In the auditorium, as the movement outside became louder and louder, it was impossible to get a good rest. Professor Flitwick and the others stood in the doorway, while the students sat in the middle with their heads curled, mostly without saying a word.

In the side hall, Professor McGonagall, who had been summoned by Moody, was discussing something in a whisper with Madame Maxime.

Right in front of them, Fleur's mother, Madame Delacour, was lying motionless on the table, covered with a thin blanket to protect her from the cold.

As for Fleur herself...... Moody didn't have time to bring her back.

“…… Madame Maxime, Miss Delacour is safe there now, and if we go out, we will be in danger! Professor McGonagall said solemnly, "I don't think it's a good idea for you to go out now. ”

"Nope! I'm worried about leaving that kid there! Very! Madame Maxime was much taller than McGonagall, and she was now talking angrily to the bottom, as if from a distance it seemed as if a mother was reprimanding her child.

"But ......"

"I said no!" Madame Maxime rejected Professor McGonagall's persuasion in annoyance, paced two steps from side to side, and simply turned and walked out.

"Wait! Wait......"

Professor McGonagall hurriedly followed, but there was the auditorium outside, and the children were there! She's needed here!

When she met those trembling eyes, she hesitated.

"Get out of the way ......"

Madame Maxim pulled the little Flitwick aside, then pushed the door open and walked out.

"Oh, I'm ......" Hagrid on the side couldn't help but glance at Harry, then gritted his teeth and chased out, "Wait for me!" I'm going to ...... too."

“…… Didn't Hagrid give up? ”

In the crowd, Harry was sitting with Hermione and Ron, who all happened to see Hagrid turn around, and Ron muttered in surprise.

"No, I don't think so," Hermione pouted.

Harry shrugged his shoulders and whispered, "Leave Hagrid alone, I'll say ...... Hermione, why did you abstain and what happened? ”

Hermione shook her head when she heard this.

"It was Professor Moody's arrangement, and he came to inform me before the game that he was going to take my place in the third program. And it said...... He also said......"

She hesitated for a moment, and at the urging of Harry and Ron, she continued, "He also said that it was Maca and Dumbledore's idea that they were going to lure Voldemort into appearing!" ”

"Huh?" Ron was surprised, "What about Marca?" Well...... And that Miss Delacour, they're not here! ”

"Who knows?" Hermione said sullenly, "I've been in the castle today anyway......"

Maca hid everything from them, which made them feel a little uncomfortable...... But so what? They themselves know that with their little strength, it is really not enough to see.

If you just mess around, it might lead to a repeat of Luna's injury last time, which would be too bad.

Until now, Harry had not dared to touch the Gryffindor Sword. He didn't even dare to practice, because he couldn't be sure at all, maybe when he would go crazy again, and the six relatives didn't recognize it.

But without the Gryffindor Sword, he really doesn't have much confidence based on his skills alone.

If anyone were in danger, Harry might be able to use his momentum to go up and perform at a higher level, but now, he was sensible enough to tell him that he probably couldn't do anything with his ability.

Maca's strength left an obstacle in the hearts of their three little lions that could not be ignored.

Whenever Maca was busy, they couldn't help but compare, and then honestly told themselves that helping out was just adding to the chaos.

Although Maca will encourage them from time to time, how useful is that?

When the facts are clear, Maca's words of encouragement can indeed give them motivation and motivation, but they cannot immediately become their strength.

Now, the feared Dark Lord is back at him, but what can they do?

In fact, Maca has actually noticed his presence and has had an impact on many people, both positive and negative.

But no matter what the impact is, it can't be more than the pressure he brings to everyone.

It's just that whether this pressure is good or bad depends on the mentality of the little wizards themselves. Just like at this moment, Hermione, who used to be the most sensible, is now the first to stand up.

"Harry, Ron...... And everyone! She looked around and said seriously, "Our school is in trouble!" ”

"And we, as students, are also members of Hogwarts! We can't keep cowering under the Professor's protection, we can't let Professor Dumbledore go out alone to fight the crisis! We also have an obligation to work to protect our school! ”

"Maybe our power is small, yes, insignificant...... But I think that if we can work together, we can keep the Death Eaters and Voldemort out! ”

Sitting around her was a whole group of silent students.

But when she mentioned the word "Voldemort", the little wizards who had been suppressed couldn't help but get nervous, and many of them began to whisper.

At the door of the auditorium, Professor Flitwick couldn't help but take a step forward, thinking that if Hermione was allowed to continue, the children might be more nervous and scared.

But Professor McGonagall, who was usually sensible, grabbed him at this time and shook her head gently at him.

continued to say that in order to convey her words to the ears of every classmate, she even added a amplification spell to herself.

“…… Among us, there are brave Gryffindors, clever Ravenclaws, and hardworking Hufflepuffs...... And the savvy Slytherin! ”

"Yes, I don't really like Slytherin, but ......," Hermione exclaimed, as she stirred up a noise around her, "But! Marka McKellen told me that Slytherin was also a student of Hogwarts and possessed excellent wizarding qualities."

"I haven't figured it out yet, but I believe what Maca said! I'm sure that when Hogwarts gets into trouble, everyone fights for the school we've been living in for a long time! ”

Speaking of this, Hermione suddenly raised her voice and said loudly:

"Like Maca once said at the graduation party, we're all Hogwarts!"

Before she could finish speaking, Hermione kicked Harry in the leg.

Don't look at her so high-sounding and enthusiastic, but in her heart, the original purpose was for her own selfishness.

She really couldn't stand it, on the road of life that was constantly advancing, she could only watch Maca's back get farther and farther away, as if she would never be able to catch up with him.

"Let's take a step! Hermione Jane Granger! She whispered to herself.
