I swung a sword at Hogwarts

Harry didn't know why he was hiding.

Malfoy led Goyle past the wall where he was hiding.

The footsteps gradually faded away, and Harry carefully poked his head out.

The book he had put in his pocket accidentally fell down and he was about to pick it up.

The other hand took it first.

It's Malfoy.

"When will you change your habit of peeking at other people, Potter?" Malfoy smiled contemptuously and casually opened the book that Harry treasured and took a look.

His brows suddenly frowned, and he stared at Harry and said, "You dare to steal John's book?"

"I didn't!" Harry protested.

"Don't pretend," Malfoy sneered, "I know John's handwriting. This is what he wrote with his right hand."

"besides……"

Malfoy turned to the first page and sneered, "Half-Blood Prince? You are so narcissistic."

It might not be a big deal if someone else said it, but when Malfoy said it, Harry felt it was quite ironic.

"Wait, this one looks familiar to me too."

Malfoy glanced back and forth at the two fonts inside, and suddenly thought of something, and sneered: "This belongs to Slytherin, you Gryffindor thief."

Harry tried to snatch it back, but Malfoy dodged him.

"I was wondering how you were so successful in Potions class. It turns out you stole Slytherin's work." Malfoy said disdainfully, "I want to give it back."

"Give it to me, Malfoy," Harry roared. "Why would you do that?"

"Just because this is the headmaster of Slytherin and the king of Slytherin, you really can't tell that this is Professor Snape's note?"

Malfoy pointed to the words he had seen so many times on Snape's notes when applying for Quidditch venues.

Harry looked as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard this, because he had always been curious about who the Half-Blood Prince was.

Turns out it was Snape?

And the person he hated the most was Snape.

Harry watched Malfoy leave with the book, and he himself looked distraught.

He didn't even feel like going to Hagrid's hut. He just wanted to be alone.

Not long after Harry left, Hagrid hurried into the Forbidden Forest.

...

Harry returns to the castle.

As the sky darkened, Harry could hear hurried footsteps and hurried sounds.

"what happened?"

All the students who went out to take the exam came back in a panic, and Harry grabbed Ron and asked him.

Ron looked terrified. Professor McGonagall behind him interrupted their conversation loudly, "Everyone go to the Great Hall to gather. Harry, go inform Professor Slughorn."

Professor McGonagall turned frighteningly pale, grabbed Harry's shoulders and said, "Voldemort is here."

That name.

After appearing, Harry was briefly distracted, but he quickly recovered.

Run to the principal's office as fast as you can.

By the time Slughorn hurried into the Great Hall, Professor McGonagall had already called over the other professors.

"What's going on, Minerva?" Slughorn saw the alert posture.

Professor McGonagall took a deep breath, her fingers clenched until her knuckles turned white.

Not long ago, Hogsmeade was attacked.

The attackers were Voldemort and his men, the Aurors there were killed, and the students fled back.

"Hogsmeade has fallen?" Slughorn was stunned.

After receiving a positive answer, Slughorn was stunned for a moment.

"Horace, we have a decision to make."

Professor McGonagall was resolute and said, "Voldemort's target is Hogwarts. We must protect the castle."

"But, but those people..." Slughorn began hesitantly.

Professor McGonagall said, "We have Albus."

Yes, Dumbledore is still here.

This old friend was usually so low-key that Slughorn almost forgot about him.

At these words Slughorn perked up.

"Be on high alert and protect the children."

Slughorn made a few arrangements and then hurried off to invite Dumbledore.

The four heads of the houses were all there, and Snape looked in the direction of Slytherin.

As Slughorn and Professor McGonagall finished their conversation, the entire hall was filled with an atmosphere so tense that it almost made people vomit.

"Go and inform the other students,"

At this time, there were still many students around the school who were unaware of the situation. Professor McGonagall asked the students who had returned from exams to inform them of these things.

Professor Flitwick goes to arrange the defenses of Hogwarts.

"Why did Voldemort suddenly decide to attack Hogwarts?" Harry reacted quickly and hurried to gather the former DA army members.

Compared to other students, DA has been trained and is more powerful.

After a while, Harry saw Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley appear in the Great Hall.

Not only that, there were other people there too.

"Thank God you're all okay." Mrs. Weasley hugged Harry and Ron.

"Sirius informed us," said Mr. Weasley. "We came over to the Hog's Head, and I learned that there was a secret passage leading to Hogwarts. The area was destroyed, and there were injured people everywhere."

"Okay, don't say any more." Mrs. Weasley pulled Ginny and said, "Come away with me, Ginny."

"No, I want to stay here!" Ginny protested loudly.

Mrs. Weasley exclaimed, "You're only fifteen!"

"John almost killed Voldemort when he was fifteen!" Ginny was not to be outdone.

But not everyone is John.

"Arthur, will the Ministry of Magic come to support?" Professor McGonagall asked Mrs. Weasley to help with the evacuation and found Mr. Weasley to ask.

Mr. Weasley shook his head. "I'm afraid this is a very difficult matter. We suspect that the Minister of Magic has been controlled, and the magical department is now seriously divided."

"It seems that we can only rely on ourselves." Professor McGonagall raised her wand and shouted, "Piertotum Locomotor!"

The statues and armor in the corridor jumped down from their brackets. Professor McGonagall said excitedly, "I've wanted to try it for a long time. This is the headmaster's power, but Horace is not available at the moment."

"Hogwarts is threatened!" Professor McGonagall shouted. "Guard the borders and protect us. Do your duty to the school!"

The statues and suits of armor screamed and ran out of the hall.

Students from the four colleges were gathered in the auditorium and evacuated by the heads of each college.

If you are old enough, you can stay.

Dumbledore finally left the small office, but he couldn't stay away for too long.

Looking at those young faces, Dumbledore had mixed feelings in his heart.

...

Chapter 490 The Attack Comes

"We must be prepared for any resistance."

Dumbledore spoke, causing the students to feel a sense of security.

"Voldemort is now more powerful than before," Dumbledore said. "I used to be the one he feared the most, but Voldemort's arrival here means he is no longer afraid of me."

“This is a battle with no known outcome, but we have the strength and love of unity.”

Dumbledore was talking.

Suddenly, a voice echoed throughout the auditorium.

The voice was high, cold, and clear, coming from all directions.

"I know you are preparing for resistance."

The familiar voice made Harry's pupils shrink.

Hermione and Ron both felt their hearts tighten.

"It's no use, Dumbledore."

Voldemort shouted across the air, "You can look outside the castle."

Hearing this, the deans looked at each other.

Professor McGonagall walked quickly to the window.

Looking out from there, it was a dark mass, and the number looked terrifying.

When the students saw this, they couldn't help but scream.

That number is much higher than that of Hogwarts.

"Your efforts are useless. You are no match for me, and I don't want to kill you."

Voldemort's voice continued.

"As long as you are willing to hand over my things, I have great respect for the teachers at Hogwarts, and I don't want to shed wizard blood."

"I will wait until midnight. Mark my words, Dumbledore."

The sound disappeared.

The entire castle fell silent again.

There was heavy breathing, followed by crying.

Dumbledore sighed and said calmly, "The students will follow Filch and leave, starting with Slytherin."

However, the Slytherin students did not move. Malfoy glanced at Dumbledore, stood up and said, "Those below fifth year, stay out of the way."

Hearing his words, the Slytherin students stood up one after another, but Astoria stayed behind.

Malfoy glanced at Theodore imperceptibly, then turned to look at the senior Slytherin, "Leave with me."

The senior Slytherin students stood up and followed Malfoy. A Ravenclaw student complained, "Don't act on your own."

"I don't have to listen to the orders of a fool." Malfoy sneered.

He led his people away on his own. Snape watched his performance and said nothing.

Filch leads the other students away.

Harry wondered where Malfoy was going with the group of Slytherins.

Except for Slytherin, the junior students from the other three houses left, and there were also senior students who stayed.

However, among the three houses, almost all the senior students of Gryffindor stayed, most of the Ravenclaws left, and two-thirds of the Hufflepuffs remained.

They were all waiting for the battle to come.

What annoyed Harry was that he couldn't do anything.

Suddenly, Harry saw Neville leaving the Great Hall.
