Draco's vanishing cabinet is about to be repaired, but he's been putting off the last step of repairing it.

It's a pity that he can't delay it for long, nor can he delay it for too long.

The Weasley brothers' new fake wands were sent quickly, and Esther immediately handed them to Snape after receiving them. Although Snape looked disgusted with her crude plan, he still took it.

Just as Draco didn't want to kill Dumbledore, he didn't want to do it either.

The time was getting closer day by day, until that day Draco hurried over and told her: "Tomorrow, the disappearing cabinet will be repaired tomorrow. I can't delay it any longer. They will come in at night. You... have to be careful."

Esther's heart became heavy. She looked at Draco and bit her lip.

Draco's expression was dull, but the fear hidden underneath was still flowing in his eyes.

She reached out and hugged him: "Don't be afraid, Professor Snape will guide you."

Draco smiled a little, but not very happily.

"You must hide in the lounge and don't come out! No matter what happens, it's none of your business." He lowered his head and looked at her with extremely solemn eyes: "You must promise me."

Esther stared at his gray-blue eyes. These usually open and wanton eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray mist, filled with panic and uneasiness.

"Okay, I promise you." Esther answered him: "I swear I won't go out."

Draco breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since I agreed, I must keep my word, otherwise I will be really angry afterwards."

Before leaving, he did not forget to leave one more hasty sentence.

It was obvious that she was afraid that something would happen to Esther.

Esther quickly went to Headmaster Dumbledore's office after he left. Although Professor Snape might have told him, she had better go ahead and say it just in case.

Dumbledore was not surprised by the news, and he also told Esther not to come out when it happened.

"Before this semester, I promised your father that I would keep you safe, so in order to prevent me from breaking my promise, you should not get involved in these things." Dumbledore said to her gently: "What you have done for us has been That’s enough, let us do the rest ourselves.”

Esther could only nod.

By the time he finished talking to Professor Dumbledore, it was already dinner time.

The students didn't know what they would experience tomorrow, so they still ate as usual.

During this period, Cathy was unable to eat due to the excessive pressure of review, and she felt completely miserable.

"The O.W.LS exam is about to start. I'm really nervous. What should I do?"

She sighed and muttered, and her anxiety spread to others around her.

This happens to fifth grade students who have to take exams every year. Except for the students who have to take exams, everyone else has long been accustomed to it.

"I feel that my review of Potions class is not very good. Is there an exam now?" Fiona was also worried: "It's too fast. I'm not ready yet. It would be nice if the exam can be postponed for a few more days." ”

Esther did not participate in their conversation. She was more tense than all the fifth grade students combined. She didn't know if things could go according to her plan. She only knew that she had tried her best.

tomorrow……

She popped a piece of barbecue into her mouth, chewing and thinking.

The next day, the gray weather seemed to indicate that today was not a good day.

During the day, everyone went to class and had meals normally, and Esther behaved no differently than other ordinary students.

In the evening, she carried out her patrol duties earlier than usual, and then drove all the junior students who liked to wander at night back to the lounge of her college.

She rarely deducts points so harshly. She would usually give them some slack if they were in a good mood. Unfortunately, she couldn't give them any slack today. It would be very dangerous today.

Not long after curfew, she made sure she had walked around the castle before heading to the Hufflepuff lounge.

She promised Draco that she wouldn't come out, so she wouldn't come out.

Even though she was worried about something happening, this time was different from usual. Dumbledore would die largely because he was willing to die and use his own death to complete the entire plan.

If he doesn't want to die, no one else can do anything to him.

Even if he was injured because of destroying Voldemort's Horcrux, a group of Death Eaters might not be his opponent.

It was not too late when I returned to the lounge, and there were still many people chatting or doing homework.

"Ais? Why are you back so early today?"

Cathy had a pile of books piled high next to her, and while she was reviewing hard, she looked up at her.

"Oh, it's nothing serious. I came back early."

She said calmly, but she had been holding the wand tightly all day today, and she still didn't put it down even when she returned to the lounge.

She couldn't sleep, and she couldn't calm down to do her homework or read a book. She sat on the sofa with a book and didn't turn a page for a long time.

Time is passing by, and I don’t know what’s going on outside?

This feeling of being unable to be controlled by herself was very painful, and she frequently looked out the window.

Fortunately, everyone was busy with their own business and no one noticed anything was wrong with her.

It was at this time that there was a burst of exclamation outside, and then she noticed an ominous green floating in the sky outside the window.

She immediately dropped the book and ran to the window to look out. The huge Dark Mark appeared over Hogwarts. This was not the first time she saw the Dark Mark. She had seen it as early as the Quidditch World Cup in her third grade. I only saw it once.

it has started.

Esther has never believed in anything, even if she became a non-scientific group like wizards in this life, she would not believe it. But for a moment she couldn't help but silently recite the names of various gods and Buddhas, praying to them to bless everything well and bless Draco.

"Then... what is that?"

Cathy also noticed something unusual. She stood next to Esther, her face turned pale instantly: "That's the Dark Mark! How could the Dark Mark appear in the school!"

She couldn't help but scream in fear. The sound alerted other students who stayed in the lounge. Then all the students who saw the Dark Mark screamed in panic.

Their screams alerted the students in the dormitory again, and soon everyone woke up and gathered in the lounge in panic.

"what happened?"

"Dark Mark!"

"The Dark Lord is here! He's coming to kill us!"

Everyone was in a mess, and many younger students had begun to cry.

"Don't panic!"

In the chaos, Esther had to increase her voice to reassure everyone: "It's not the Dark Lord coming in person, it's some Death Eaters! They can't enter our lounge, but Dumbledore seems to have been prepared. The school teachers and the Order of the Phoenix The members have gone over to resist, please don’t run around and just stay there!”

Her voice was calm and calm, very soothing in this chaos, and everyone gradually quieted down as they heard her voice.

"How did you know it was a Death Eater who broke in?"

Zacharis asked.

Esther pointed to the portrait on the wall: "The portrait told me, so don't mess around."

The portrait smiled at the student, although he had not yet had time to tell Esther what was going on outside.
