Harry walked down the long corridor, listening to Neville explaining what had happened at school these days.
"So the Carrows also punish students in class?"
"Of course, and they punish people with the Cruciatus Curse."
After Neville answered, he introduced the tunnel.
This is the tunnel they dug out of the Room of Requirement on the cue of Professor McGonagall, and it hasn't been long since it was completed.
While speaking, several people came to a stone gate.
As the door slowly opened, Harry saw the situation inside the Room of Requirements.
"This is....."
Seeing all the members of the D.A here Harry was dumbfounded, not knowing how to express his feelings.
"Harry, welcome back!" Seamus said with a smile.
Immediately afterwards he gave Harry a big hug.
"Seamus, didn't you go back with your family?"
"Yeah, but I thought you needed me, so I'm back, and it's not just me!"
Seamus took two steps back, turned and gestured to Harry in the direction of the crowd.
He saw that the Patil sisters were also among them, and many people who had obviously been brought home appeared here at this moment.
Harry's eyes gradually became moist.
At this moment, Dean said in a downcast tone: "Harry, what are we going to do next?"
Harry's eyes froze: "Uncover Snape's true colors and take back Hogwarts."
"Then do you want to find Professor McGonagall? We can only gather here thanks to her help."
"Professor McGonagall?" Harry frowned.
Dumbledore in the portrait also sent him to Professor McGonagall. It seems that she knows a lot of things that he doesn't.
Harry suddenly remembered the Horcrux he got with Dumbledore.
He didn't care at the time, but now the more he thinks about it, the more wrong he feels, so he took the Horcrux out of his pocket.
He hadn't looked into it since what happened to Dumbledore.
Only now did he realize that this locket was quite delicate.
He opened it easily and saw a small piece of parchment inside, with only one sentence written on it.
"Harry, go find Minerva!"
The parchment was signed by Dumbledore.
Harry smiled self-deprecatingly.
Sure enough, he remembered that Lucas had mentioned Horcruxes and a cave in the Shrieking Shack.
It's just that he didn't think about that at the time.
Just looking excited, he followed Dumbledore to find the Horcrux.
"Headmaster, in order to eliminate Voldemort, you don't even care about having to give up your own life?"
Harry decided to go to Professor McGonagall right away.
He must learn the whole truth from the other party.
When he told the others what he was going to do, Neville frowned and said, "The closest thing to the Room of Requirement is the Ravenclaw common room."
"If you can meet Professor Flitwick there, maybe you can find a way to meet Professor McGonagall.'
"But how can you get out of the Room of Requirement? The Carrows patrol the school corridors every night."
After hearing this, everyone was silent for a while.
Bill Weasley stood up at this moment: "Don't worry, I can cast the Disillusionment Charm on Harry."
"In addition, Ron and Percy are also going along, and Charlie and I will stay here to prepare for the future with everyone."
Everyone was quite satisfied with Bill's arrangement.
After the Disillusionment Charm came into effect, the three left the Room of Requirement.
At this moment Alecto just entered the Ravenclaw common room to check. Harry had left Percy and Ron outside after the door into the common room was opened, so he bumped into Alecto face to face.
"Harry Potter?" Alecto, like her brother, had a severe hunchback. And her voice wasn't very pleasant either.
Alecto saw Harry and didn't do anything right away. Instead, she pressed her right index finger on the Dark Mark on her left arm.
Severe pain struck, and Harry suddenly entered Voldemort's thoughts again.
He saw Voldemort in a long underground cave.
This place was familiar to Harry, since he had just returned from there not long ago.
Sensing the reaction of the Dark Mark, Voldemort knew immediately that his men had captured the Boy-Who-Lived.
Crack~!
Voldemort Apparated back to Wiltshire.
At this time, thousands of Death Eaters had already gathered here and were ready to attack at any time.
The few remaining dementors in the wizarding world were all floating over the manor.
And where they couldn't see, werewolves, giants, trolls, and inferis were forming an army and moving towards Hogwarts ahead of time.
Voldemort was very satisfied with his troops.
He raised his wand high, causing a thunderclap to sound in the sky and the noisy crowd became quiet.
Voldemort said loudly: "Everyone, the opportunity to attack Hogwarts has finally come."
"Just now, our companions sent a signal that the boy is now at Hogwarts."
"Come on, let's meet him and let everyone understand that Harry Potter is not the chosen one!"
Voldemort Apparated after speaking.
Thousands of Death Eaters also turned into black mist and disappeared in place.
Harry was forced to cut off contact with Voldemort.
He fell to the ground in pain, while Alecto held up her wand, maintaining the effect of the Cruciatus Curse.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you, I will hand you over to the Dark Lord."
Feeling the heat in her left arm, Alecto laughed out loud.
Just at this moment, an ethereal voice sounded: "Stupefy!"
The huge magic power not only stunned Alecto, but also sent her flying to the bookshelf in the lounge.
Harry opened his eyes, only to see Luna Lovegood standing in front of him.
"Mr Potter, it looks like you need a Disillusionment Charm."
Luna waved her wand, and Harry saw his body disappear in place.
Without waiting for him to ask why the other party appeared here, Luna's figure disappeared, as if everything that happened was just an illusion.
"Alecto, open the door for me!"
Amycus' voice came from outside the door, and his tone revealed anxiety.
Just when Harry was worried about Ron and Percy, Professor McGonagall's voice came from outside the door.
"Amycus, what is going on that makes you wake everyone up?"
"Old lady, don't talk so much nonsense, open the door for me!"
Amycus clasped his left arm with his right hand and yelled at Professor McGonagall angrily.
Seeing the opponent's actions, McGonagall's eyes flashed.
"If I must, of course I can!"
After she finished speaking, she knocked on the copper ring of the gate, and the copper ring changed into the shape of an eagle, and a gentle voice sounded.
"Where did the things that disappeared go?"
"To nothing, or to everything!" replied Professor McGonagall.
"Good answer!" After the eagle-shaped door knocker finished speaking, the door of the common room opened.
As soon as the two entered the lounge, they saw Alecto lying on the ground.
"Damn it, what did these brats do to her, I'm going to ask."
"Calm down, she's just passed out, she'll be fine." Professor McGonagall said after checking Alecto's condition.
"No, she's done for. She called the Dark Lord, but she didn't catch Potter."
"We're all going to die, we'll become like the Malfoy family, why don't we put all the blame on those kids?"
Amycus came in and didn't find Harry's figure, and immediately became confused.
The burning sensation on his arm reminded him that Voldemort was coming.
"Catch Potter?" Professor McGonagall demanded, frowning.
"Shut up, it's none of your business, don't forget that we have the final say at Hogwarts now!"
Amycus then spat at Professor McGonagall.
"Crucio!"
The spell the hidden Harry shot was an Unforgivable Curse.
Amycus who was hit suddenly passed out from the pain.
"Harry? You shouldn't be here!"
"Professor, I can't stand him spitting at you, we should inform everyone as soon as possible, Voldemort is coming."
Professor McGonagall nodded, drew her wand and tied the Carrows firmly to the bookshelf in the lounge.
In order to prevent the two from waking up and breaking free, she raised her wand again and pointed it at the two: "Imperio!"
"That way we can rest assured."
The two walked out of the common room, joined Percy and Ron, and walked towards the rooms of the other two Heads of House.
Unexpectedly, they had only reached the fourth floor and met Snape in the corridor.
"Minerva, I remember that you are not scheduled to do rounds tonight, where are the Carrows?"
Snape turned his head slightly to the side, to see if there was anyone behind Professor McGonagall.
McGonagall raised an eyebrow and said, "Probably where you put them."
"I have a feeling, I think they seemed to have caught an intruder."
"Where does this feeling come from?" Professor McGonagall asked curiously.
When she saw Snape move his left arm, she suddenly said: "I almost forgot that you Death Eaters have your own secret contact methods."
"Minerva, if you see Harry Potter, you should..."
"I seem to hear something." McGonagall cut Snape off abruptly.
Snape listened, but heard nothing.
"I thought it was quiet...."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw McGonagall on the opposite side make a sudden move.
The opponent's wand continued to slash in the air, and Snape hastily cast the Shield Charm on himself.
The Shield Charm knocked McGonagall's blade-like spell back a bit.
Snape was about to fight back when he saw this.
Then he saw McGonagall controlling the torch on the wall to attack him.
A flame rose from the torch and suddenly turned into black smoke in mid-air.
Then McGonagall swung her wand again, and the black smoke turned into sharp daggers.
Snape pointed his wand at the knight's armor behind him: "accio armor!"
The sound of clinking could be heard several times as Professor McGonagall's daggers were blocked by the knight's armor.
Just as Snape was about to fight back for the second time, a high-pitched voice came from behind him.
"You are not allowed to kill any more people at Hogwarts."
Professors Flitwick and Sprout came running from a distance in their pajamas.
Professor Flitwick's spell blew the knight's armor to pieces.
Seeing reinforcements coming, Snape immediately jumped out of the side window.
"Professor McGonagall, we have to lock down the school, he's coming."
Harry came out from his hiding place, and said while covering the scar on his forehead.
"Well, everyone, you-know-who is coming. After 20 minutes, you have to bring the students from your respective Houses to the great hall."
"There's a passage there to take the students out."
Flitwick and Sprout nodded, turned around and left for their respective Houses.
Harry followed closely behind Professor McGonagall, trying to ask the truth of what Dumbledore had said several times.
But he was interrupted because McGonagall was too busy.
…
Lucas was standing in Godric's vault packing alchemical items.
Most of the weapons here were crafted by goblins, and they will come in handy during this battle.
He looked at the treasure room that had been looted by him, and clapped his hands in satisfaction.
Just as he was about to use the void fissure to leave, the Eye of Time opened automatically and the battle between Snape and Professor McGonagall appeared in his eyes.
Originally, they had planned for Professor Snape to reveal his identity at this time.
Help deal with the Carrows and finally help Harry drink the Spirit Purifying Potion.
But why didn't Professor Snape act according to the plan?
The most critical question, how did Professor Snape actually change the future that Lucas had already seen.
This really surprised him.
'Professor, what the hell are you doing?'
The future seen by the Eye of Time showed countless possibilities.
Lucas frowned tightly.
…
Perimeter of the Forbidden Forest.
Lucas' figure appeared from a crack.
He put the box in his hand on the ground, and then he could only wait in place.
Not long after, the space in front of him rippled.
Fifty Saints arrived at Hogwarts by Portkey. Each of these fifty members has the strength of an elite Auror.
Lucas opened the box and asked everyone to choose a suitable weapon from it.
After they were armed, Lucas drew out his wand and pointed it at the ground.
Affected by the spell, the ground suddenly collapsed.
When the dust cleared, a wide underground passage appeared in front of everyone.
This passage was exactly dug out by the acromantula in his second year when he controlled it through the Imperius Curse.
The other end of the passage leads to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
"Medusa, take them in, help them open the door to the Slytherin common room, and then you'll go find Abernathy, okay?"
Medusa nodded, wagged her tail at everyone, and entered the passage first.
Lucas blocked the passage again once everyone left. Immediately afterwards, he tore through the void and returned to the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
At this time, thousands of Saints were quietly waiting for his return in the depths.
