Hogwarts Slytherin

Hogwarts Hall.

in the afternoon.

Dumbledore arrived in a hurry, even his glasses were a little crooked, "Minerva, how is the situation now?"

McGonagall, who had been staying in the auditorium for a long time and had not waited for her colleagues to come back, saw Dumbledore and hurriedly stepped forward to grab his arms.

"Oh, Albus, you must hurry over. Filius and the others are still fighting at the competition site. Horace later went to help, but he has not come back until now."

"You need to relax, Minerva, and leave the rest to me." Dumbledore's expression was serious, and his blue eyes had a rare chill.

"Headmaster Dumbledore."

"Principal Dumbledore, Acromantulas, there are many Acromantulas outside the school!"

"I...I just took a sneak peek and they were crawling towards the castle."

After meeting Dumbledore, the prefects who had been pretending to be calm finally began to show their flaws.

"Don't worry..." Dumbledore had to give himself a loud voice, "Don't worry! Children, I promise, no one will be hurt by this."

"Now, everyone go back to the lounge of your respective colleges and tell the other children to relax. Your dean will come over later to inform you of today's dinner."

"Principal Dumbledore." Dorcas Meadows' eyes were red and swollen, her face was pale, and her lips were almost bloodless. "Raymond...can you please bring Raymond's body back?"

Dumbledore, who had always seemed somewhat calm, was momentarily stunned.

Professor McGonagall also wiped her glasses on her sleeve.

It almost went without saying that he understood what was happening.

A little wizard died because of this.

Dumbledore's expression became more serious than ever before: "All of you prefects will immediately go back to their respective lounges to count the number of people and make sure that no one is missing. After counting the number of people, report to the chairman of your college and I will rush there immediately. Forbidden Forest.”

......

Fear spread in everyone's heart, and the panicked students rushed into the lounge they were most familiar with, but.

There are always a few who seek death.

However, he was quickly caught by the professors in person from various places in the castle. This must be thanked to those portraits.

It didn't take long for Reggie to wait for news from Haierbo.

Its assassination failed.

Aragog reacted quickly and launched his wife.

As the leader of thousands of Acromantulas, even if they all came out, Aragog was still surrounded by many descendants.

There is only one chance for such a sneak attack.

The attack failed, and although the leader was not dead, the death of the Spider Queen was still enough to make the other Acromantulas go crazy.

The basilisk ran away immediately.

Before setting off, Reggie specifically asked him to put his own safety first.

In Hogwarts, the legends about the Chamber of Secrets and the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets frighten countless people.

However, the number of young wizards who actually died at the hands of the Basilisk can be counted on one hand.

On the contrary, the Basilisk is one of the top magical creatures in the magic world. Because of its existence, many magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest dare not approach the castle.

Stare at whoever dies.

To a certain extent, it protects both Slytherin's treasure and Hogwarts.

Dumbledore, who rushed to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, took action and the situation stabilized instantly. He first helped the professors eliminate the Acromantulas around them.

Fortunately, none of the professors were injured, but they just looked a little messy. Compared with the gray faces of the others, Professor Slughorn's face was even more rosy.

"For Merlin's sake, Albus, you are finally back." Professor Slughorn stepped forward and gave Dumbledore a big hug.

Dumbledore stiffened for a moment, but patted the other person's arm.

Soon the two were separated, and then Professor Kettleburn...

Professor Sprout...

Professor Flitwick - Needing to look up from Dumbledore's perspective, Professor Flitwick touched his beard awkwardly, "Albus, get rid of them quickly, there are too many of them."

With a smile in his eyes, Dumbledore lowered his body and gave Professor Flitwick a hug.

"I'm glad you're all okay and thank you on behalf of the children of Hogwarts."

"Oh! What nonsense are you talking about? They are my children too."

Professor Slughorn was cheerful, and suddenly thought of something. He quickly pushed past Prewett and came to Dumbledore. He asked in a nervous tone: "Merlin! Minerva said that Reggie had... ....Dolokhov did not return to the castle!"

Professor Flitwick exclaimed and his expression changed drastically.

The atmosphere that seemed warm just now immediately became tense again.

"Maybe they have returned to the castle." Prewett suddenly said: "When there was a riot before, I saw him riding a broomstick with a person behind him."

"call."

Everyone present secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, many people were very optimistic about Reggie. He was really a very polite and talented little wizard.

"And he speaks nicely." Professor Flitwick added silently in his mind.

Among the several professors, the professor who had stayed at Hogwarts for a longer period of time could not help but compare him with the devil who must not be named, and was secretly wary of it.

But, it's useless.

As time passed, I still couldn't help but fall.

The professors had fought so hard just now, and they couldn't imagine that the two students could survive this chaos intact.

But now that I heard that they were probably fine, I finally had no worries.

Dumbledore looked back and saw many black figures on the grass approaching Hogwarts Castle.

He raised his wand and waved it three times above his head. A foot-high flame began to fly along the tip of his wand.

getting bigger.

Dumbledore's hands were still waving.

The flames seemed to have heard the sound of the charge horn.

It quickly swept across the entire grassland with an overwhelming force and spread towards the castle.

The first impression people have of the sea is that it is boundless and cannot be seen at a glance.

Under Dumbledore's wand, Hogwarts turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Is he really an old fool?are you crazy?

Did Dumbledore want to burn down Hogwarts?

No, it's not.

Covered by flames, the grass remained green.

Only those black behemoths, under the burning flames, let out painful screams, followed by a foul and unpleasant smell, and turned into ashes.

There is no burnt dregs left.

......

Slytherin lounge.

Snape rarely stood in the public area and did not return to his dormitory. The dark and damp lounge coupled with his cold expression gave off an air of being kept away from strangers.

He stayed alone in a corner, and everyone inadvertently and tacitly separated a separate area for him.

Everyone knows the reason.

Not a sympathetic look towards him.

There is only one stick left in the Iron Triangle.

Reggie and Anthony haven't come back yet. They were competing at the time, which meant that when the Acromantula attacked, they were the first to face it.

Oh my God, that is an extremely dangerous magical creature. According to the decree issued by the Ministry of Magic, the Acromantula and the Basilisk are classified into the same danger level.

What's more, there are still such a large number.

"They are dead." Most people have already acquiesced in this.

Maybe some people were skeptical about this at first, after all, Reggie is really evil.

But as time goes by...

hall.......

lounge.......

No, there has been no sign of them.

As time passed, Snape's face became paler and paler.

The fingers he held the wand with were slightly white from exerting too much force. No one would touch his brow at this time.

Even those with bad intentions will be avoided for a while.

"What a pitiful little guy. Forget it, let this half-blood see the situation clearly, and there will be many opportunities to teach him a lesson in the future." Under Flint's instigation, Victor Mulciber remained unmoved.

Faced with all kinds of looks, Snape remained unmoved. He just walked to the door and back to the corner, his green robe billowing behind him, as if to represent the turbulence in his heart.

His teeth were clenched tightly, his cheeks were bulging, and he still refused to relax at all.

For a time, my heart was filled with resentment.

I resent the professors for creating this stupid competition.

In the Forbidden Forest?What a great idea, great, great!

Isn’t it forbidden for any students to go near the Forbidden Forest?Why should the competition venue be set in the Forbidden Forest?

Resent the Ministry of Magic for coming up with this damn rule.

Why can't the duel competition be held on the duel stage? !

And Dumbledore, why didn't the great headmaster show up.

Always like this, always like this!Is there anything more important than your students?Every time something goes wrong, it's always too late.

even.

He also resented Reggie and Anthony for why they participated in this stupid game.

It was not easy, he finally gained the weight he had never had in his life, but now he lost it in such a ridiculous way.

It was only then that Snape realized that he had never been so afraid of losing.

He thought he had nothing.

Every minute and every second in the common room was torture for him.

I don't know how long it took.

When the stone wall where Slytherin had been silent for a long time slid open, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

Anthony looked at Snape at a loss. Merlin, he must have seen it wrong...otherwise why would Snape's glasses be sweating.

******

"Dumbledore, don't, don't do this! Please, they are just frightened." Hagrid opened his arms and blocked Dumbledore's wand and Aragog with his body.

After ending this chaos with thunderous means, the number of Acromantulas has almost returned to its original starting point.

In addition to Aragog, there are also several Acromantulas that have been guarding him.

Where Dumbledore's wand pointed, pieces of flame burned, and inside was the painful wail of a huge black thing.

Under Hagrid's efforts to stop them, several people also figured out the cause of the incident - because some students took the lead in attacking them.

As long as there is magic, there will be traces.

Dumbledore did not trust Aragog's words without reservation, but recited an obscure spell, and he discovered a different flame.

The Fire Curse.

At this time, the professors believed that Aragog was not lying.

Did any student use the Fire Curse in the Forbidden Forest?

The Fire Curse is a very domineering and vicious black magic that can burn everything, including Voldemort's Horcruxes!

Obviously, the student who cast the spell did not fully master the spell, otherwise he would not have caused such an out-of-control scene.

"For Merlin's sake, I can't believe a student would use such an evil spell."

"It's strange, I'm not surprised."

"a?"

"Haha, I have a few suspicions about this."

The professors all focused their attention on the red-haired Professor Prewett.

"Okay." Professor Prewett touched his nose, "Slytherin, Slytherin, or Slytherin?"

Dumbledore: "...."

Flitwick: "..."

Sprout: "..."

Slughorn: "...No! Absolutely impossible! Albus, you can't allow him to slander my students like this. They are just a group of... well, they like to make little jokes. child."

Prewett let out a strange cry, his expression full of mockery.

Seeing this, Dumbledore had to stop the argument between the two and pressed his hand down.

Slughorn and Prewett saw this and said nothing.

"Indeed, I still insist that everyone is innocent until they are found guilty." Dumbledore said solemnly.

"Gentlemen, I don't think this is a good time to argue about this."

Indeed, Aragog was like a child, hiding behind Hagrid and shivering, not looking like the ancestor of the Acromantula.

But Dumbledore was unmoved. This old man who had experienced too many storms would not be easily blinded by this illusion and affect his judgment.

He looked at each person and the spider with his eyes, "Hagrid, maybe you don't know yet, but some students have died because of this."

Hagrid's eyes were a little evasive and he hesitated: "But...but they don't know. Please, have mercy on Dumbledore. They are just the instinctive reaction of animals."

"They attacked my child first." Aragog also said.

"Unfortunately, I don't think magical creatures have the right to murder wizards." Dumbledore adjusted his silver glasses, "Besides, it seems that the child wants more people to die because of this."

"Please, have mercy on me." Hagrid cried so hard that snot and tears flowed into his huge beard.

Aragog also hurriedly began to beg for mercy, "My children are almost dead - please, we have already tasted the consequences."

Dumbledore's eyes were unreadable.

Hogwarts Castle is eerily silent tonight.

After the deans of their respective houses personally went to the lounge to announce to the students that Hogwarts was safe, many people burst into tears on the spot.

What's wrong with this world?

The outside world is too dangerous, either this one dies or that one disappears.

Even Hogwarts seems not very safe, the Hogwarts Express, Hogsmeade, and today's Forbidden Forest...

The little wizards who have spoken out about Muggles have begun to waver in their trust in Hogwarts, especially this year's first-year freshmen. Many of them have already considered dropping out of school.
