Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

No change, nothing has changed.

Whether it was a funeral in a blizzard or Voldemort’s emptiness, there was no change. Even the movements of all guests to withdraw from the castle are exactly the same as those in someone’s memory.

And Draco, one of those who hurriedly retreated.

“…Please enter the castle in order to avoid the enemy… Don’t panic, please believe us… please believe that Hogwarts can handle…”

Professor McGonagall just commanded a group of professors to hold up the protective spell, and then quickly turned back to greet those who lost one’s head out of fear.

Just a few people can really be calm when faced with Voldemort’s attack?

Draco was squeezed into the crowd and struggled to look back. Over the Hogwarts Castle, a semi-transparent magic barrier has emerged, and just outside the barrier, several huge Dark Marks hang high, indicating a next catastrophe.

“Voldemort is here!”

Like everyone else, Draco has only such a single thought head. What is different from others is that his thoughts are more pure.

Because who, besides him, has seen Voldemort soon?

Draco didn’t know what kind of mood he was, he couldn’t figure it out. If someone asks him before, he may say that he will be angry, or he may say that he will be afraid… But now, his heart is like a mess, so complicated that he is difficult to interpret himself.

It didn’t take long for Draco, who was stunned by the crowd, to be squeezed into the castle’s gate and into the huge foyer.

“Please don’t stay in the foyer, everyone goes down… please go down the stairs…”

Professor McGonagall is still giving instructions, and most of the guests are out of one’s wits. After hearing her words, they seem to have a goal and continue to move.

Before that, I was so stunned outside the door. In fact, Draco was already a step slower than many people. At this time, it was only able to squeeze into the last group of people and move forward together.

I have to say that the order of the wizards is actually good. Although everyone only thought about escaping from the beginning, they could act without the imagination. It didn’t take long for Draco to find himself coming to the stairs.

“The stone pier is out!”

A clear voice suddenly came from the hall behind him, and Draco stopped his footsteps and looked back. Just then, he saw the amazing scene.

I saw the hall all around the towering walls, all the sculptures and armor jumped from their original position, and the heavy hum of the hong long long was heard. Draco could still hear it, and it seemed that the same voice was ringing in the hallway upstairs in the castle. It seems that the statue and armor of the castle are alive!

In the middle of the foyer, Professor McGonagall holds the wand, and the whole person is full of energy. Draco could hardly imagine how these spells could be practiced.

“Hogwarts meets the enemy! You will obey the orders, guard the castle, and defend against the enemy! You will perform the duty and responsibility for the school!”

With the loud voice of Professor McGonagall, all the Knight statues held their hands and swords in their hands, and they were placed on the ground in a uniform manner. Then they turned up the stone swords in their hands and lined up in an orderly manner.

At this time, Minerva McGonagall really showed her strength as a Hogwarts headmaster. But she saw her standing in the middle of the Knight Square, like an imposing Legion general.

But at this moment, there was a loud noise outside the castle. It seemed that something was falling on the ground in the vestibule. Draco even felt a shock at his feet.

Professor McGonagall, who stood in the foyer, suddenly became complexion changed, and then the professors who had previously cast spells on the outside of the barriers ran back from the gate.

“Is Voldemort coming in?” Draco heart startled, subconsciously trying to look back.

“…it’s too late, close the castle gate immediately!”

Professor McGonagall saw that everyone had returned to the hall, and she decisively waved wand. After a series of ka-cha ka-cha hinges, the heavy gate hong long long closed.

The rest of the Knights who have not yet had time to go out, as well as the various stone carvings that are still moving upstairs, are locked in the castle.

The professors did not go to the basement. They were attached to the castle and also to the entire campus. For them, here is more than just a place to work, it is more like another home.

Most of them have been in Hogwarts for a long time, and even after the death of Professor Binns, they are still teaching. As you can imagine, the charm of Hogwarts is not only for students, but in the minds of most faculty and staff, this is also the most important place.

Of course, there are still some people who are not so concerned about Hogwarts. Among all the wizards who are professors of Hogwarts, Slughorn is one of them.

Just now, he was also involved in the action of propping up the magic barrier, but when he saw the door closed, he rushed to the stairs.

“Oh, um…child, are you a student of Hogwarts?”

As it should be by rights, Slughorn immediately slammed into Draco, who was still on the stairs. The old man was dressed very brightly today, but the bald hair was still meticulously combed. If he was not known, he might have thought that he was attending a ballroom dance!

“Ah! Hello, sir…” Draco raised his chin subconsciously. This is his habitual action. Even if he wants to keep a low profile, he hasn’t been able to change it in the past few years. “I am Draco – Draco. Malfoy, you are right, I am a student of Slytherin house.”

“Oh – Malfoy? Are you the son of Lucius?” Slughorn eyebrow raised, smiled and nodded. “You father once mentioned you to me, not bad… Slytherin, good!”

He was slightly paused, but he was so eloquent: “You probably know that most of your Malfoy homes are Slytherin – this is a good house, isn’t it?”

“I think you are right,” Draco said first and foremost. “Mr…. Please forgive me. I didn’t ask you for your identity. I ask you yes-“

From small to large, Draco accepted the most orthodox pure blood wizard education, which is naturally lacking in etiquette. It’s just the patronage of the parents, but it always makes him a bit arrogant. When he gets along with his peers, he often seems a bit arrogant.

“Hey, I am Horas Slughorn, I think you must have heard of me.”

Slughorn’s face is thick to the extreme, but in fact he is not arrogant, after all, what he is best at is to run a variety of interpersonal relationships, there are many people who know him.

“Are you Mr. Slughorn?” Draco said with amazement. “I really know you, you taught me father that year! Today you are… Oh, you naturally come to the funeral…”

Slughorn hearing this, just cleverly laughed, did not immediately say what he is going to teach in the next school year.

Hiding this thing for him is as it should be by rights, after all, Voldemort can be outside now! Who knows if this Hogwarts will have a “next school year”?

If Hogwarts was occupied by Voldemort, he would have to run for the first time. Even if his Slughorn is no longer vain, he doesn’t want to work under Voldemort’s hands, he knows what it will mean.

“Well, let’s not stand here and talk, let’s go first!” Slughorn suddenly reached out and grabbed Draco’s shoulder, a serious and authentic. “It’s too dangerous for you, come, I will send you down… there is me. Yes, you have nothing to worry about, aren’t you?”

It is obvious that he wants to sneak into a safe place, avoiding this innocent disaster, but he is said to be helping students. To be honest, this bald old man’s face is thick, and it is estimated that no one can compare it under the sun.

However, at this moment, everyone in the castle suddenly felt an indescribable sense of coolness, spreading from top to bottom. Draco and Slughorn, as well as a group of professors in the foyer, apparently felt it, and their faces showed a confused look.

This feeling is very strange, just like someone has fallen from the top of their head with a cool spring water, so that their originally nervous mind, calm down the time.

“What’s wrong with this? What happened just now?” Draco looked confused.

“It seems to be some kind of magic,” Slughorn deserves to be a veteran wizard who taught at the same time as Dumbledore. Although normally fascinated with business reputation, the innate talent in magic is no less than Professor McGonagall and the others, “although It’s not certain yet, but it shouldn’t be the magic that Voldemort cast.”

“Why?” Draco tried this and suddenly looked at the old man around him.

“Because of the power of magic, I didn’t feel cruel and fierce… Yes, there is no negative spirit,” Slughorn frowned. “That’s not the magic type Voldemort is interested in.”

“… is this?”

When he heard Slughorn say so, Draco couldn’t help but feel reasonable. Although he can’t feel anything at all, at least he is positive about this statement. Draco, who had been with Voldemort for a few days, understood that Voldemort and his Death Eaters, the most popular ones were the fierce and sinister curses.

As he thought about it, he looked up subconsciously and looked up at the top of his head, because the coolness was just falling from above. This does not matter, but let him see a seemingly familiar silhouette!
