I'm playing a big knife at HP

"We hold them off," said Professor Sprout firmly, "for as long as we can."

"But no matter what we do, it's impossible to keep You-Know-Who out of the door for a long time." Professor Flitwick's shrill voice was strangely quiet, "The Ministry of Magic has also fallen into his hands, and we won't have reinforcements of."

"Yes, but as long as we can buy time, we can let the senior students lead the junior students into the Forbidden Forest. As long as they escape through the Forbidden Forest and into the mountains, they can Apparate." Professor Sprout said , "The longer we hold on, the more students will be able to escape."

"Pomona! That's the Forbidden Forest!" Professor Slughorn exclaimed. "Those children will die in the mountains before they escape!"

Listening to the professors' discussion, Harry's brain throbbed with pain.He said impulsively: "If it's all for me...if Voldemort just wants me..."

"Don't be stupid, boy," Professor Sprout smiled kindly at him, "Even if you throw yourself into the trap, Voldemort will not let us go."

Harry thought of the Death Eaters lying all over the floor in his vision, the wizards and goblins who Voldemort had slaughtered at will just because he was unlucky enough to be there when he knew the cup was stolen—he knew Professor Sprout was right .

"It's not enough to run into the Forbidden Forest...we'll hide them." Marciana suddenly tapped the Gryffindor tower with her finger, "The college lounge is a relatively safe area in the castle. The school is sealed off , block the tower, and let the staff who are not good at fighting take the students to hide in the common room of their respective colleges. This way, at least as long as we can hold it, they will be safe."

"Then we can't hold it?" Mag asked calmly.

"At that point, we messaged them to evacuate through the fireplace."

"But the fireplaces are all under surveillance!" Professor Flitwick pointed out.

"If the school really fell, would it matter if they were under surveillance or not?" Marciana laughed, "Run outside and disperse. Even if the Ministry of Magic knows that they have gone out, so what? It won't be any worse than it is now." Oops."

"I don't understand, how long can we hold?" Slughorn said anxiously, wiping the sweat from his brow, "Without reinforcements, it's a mortal situation!"

"There may not be no reinforcements." Marciana replied calmly. "Besides, although we are not many, we have various guardian magics of Hogwarts Castle and food. There may not be any danger in a short time."

Others don't know, but she knows that Dumbledore's secret killer is still alive, and if Hogwarts is besieged, he will definitely find a way to get out.As long as it lasts until Dumbledore thinks of a way, this crisis will be over.

"Well, if we used the fireplace, where would it be safe for the students to go? No home - almost every parent's fireplace is under surveillance. And no Ministry of Magic - it's almost Death Eater's already Base camp," Flitwick asked.

Everyone was silent again.

"St. Mungo." Marciana said suddenly, "go to St. Mungo. It is almost the only place that remains neutral. St. Mungo receives a large number of patients every day, and the flow of people is so large that it is difficult to track. Voldemort has always looked down on a group of innocent people. Powerless healers, Death Eaters never considered infiltrating St. Mungo's."

The professors looked at each other and nodded: "This plan is feasible. Let's do it like this."

"Let's go back and wake up the students. We will gather in the auditorium in 10 minutes and explain the situation to them." Mag stood up straight, said loudly, and took the lead to go out.Professor Sprout followed, but Professor Slughorn didn't move, and faltered: "Oh, this is really messy! I don't know if it's wise to do it, Minerva. He There must be a way to get in in the end, and the reinforcements Martha mentioned don't know what happened. Oh, it's really scary, it sounds very dangerous—"

Professor McGonagall turned back and looked at Professor Slughorn coldly: "If you want to take your students away, we will not stop you. But if any of you want to sabotage the resistance activities, or take up weapons in the castle Against us, then, Horace, you and I are enemies."

Slughorn's eyes widened in horror, and before he could speak, Marciana took a step forward and shook her head: "We can't expect Slytherin students to fight Voldemort with us, their families are there On the other side. Forget it, Horace, I'll go with you." Saying that, she pushed Professor Slughorn out the door.

Harry struggled for a while between following Professor McGonagall or Marciana, but he still followed Marciana and Professor Slughorn.They disappeared, and Professor Slughorn lowered his voice: "Oh, Martha, this is really a clever invisibility spell, but I don't understand, what's the point of you coming with me invisibly?"

Before Marciana could answer, Professor Slughorn suddenly let out a cry.

Harry stopped, noticing that a few steps away, Neville was confronting several senior Slytherins with his wand raised.

"Where are you going?" Neville asked warily.

"It's none of your business. Get out of the way, Longbottom!" Theodore Nott also raised his wand, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think I dare not cast a spell on you. Get out of here!"

"What's going on here! You should be in the cellar lounge!" Professor Slughorn staggered forward, wiping his sweat, "Where are you going?"

"We're going to find that lord. We already know that he's coming." Nott's face was pale. "We're going to find him now."

"How do you know!" exclaimed Slughorn. "Besides, are you crazy? You're going to find him?"

"What do you know!" Pansy Parkinson screamed, raising her wand too, "Get out of the way!"

As if it was a signal, the Slytherins behind her raised their wands in unison, and a dozen wands were pointed at Slughorn and Neville.

"We have no choice," Nott said through gritted teeth. "We can only fight for him, either outside the castle or inside the castle. Do you want us to point the wand at you in the castle? Get out of the way, or I will now Curse you!"

Harry gripped his wand nervously, but suddenly felt a hand dragging him into an empty classroom.He saw Marciana lifted the invisibility spell, took out a tube of potion that was bubbling like mud, and put a hair in it.The potion bubbled violently, turning into a deep blue color like the water of a black lake.

Marciana raised her head and drank the potion, her figure became taller, her shoulders became wider, her black hair became shorter and straighter, and soon, the face of Severus Snape appeared in front of him. 'Snape' ignored Harry's dull gaze, stroked himself, and nodded in satisfaction.

"What's the matter...?" Harry was dumbfounded.

"Ah, I just found one of his hairs on the glass," said 'Snape' cheerfully in his deep voice, winking at him, "this will come in handy, won't it? Take it easy, Harry."

Harry just wanted to dig his eyes out.

"Wait, did you just touch..."

The Snape-shaped Marciana coughed heavily: "Cough! Well, of course I need to check whether the potion is effective, right?"

Harry nodded dubiously.Marciana changed her clothes into Snape's classic black robe, straightened her collar, brushed her hair, and walked out with her head held high.

'Snape' walked quickly towards the confronting Slytherins, Neville and Professor Slughorn, and asked threateningly, "What's going on here?"

Several Slytherins raised their wands to face their headmaster. Their faces were already full of madness, but when they saw 'Snape', their expressions were relaxed, and several people slowly put down their wands. .

"We've got to get out now, we don't have a choice," Knott said quickly. "You should understand."

'Snape' gave them a cold look: "Now, go back to the Slytherin lounge."

"What? No!" cried Crabbe. "You know we can't!"

"Don't make me draw my wand," said 'Snape' slowly. "Go back. Now."

Nott gave him a suspicious look, and lowered his wand. 'Snape' frowned impatiently, "What are you dawdling about? Hurry up!"

Snape has been the head of Slytherin for more than ten years, and managed this group of kids from 11 to 17 years old, and he still has a lot of prestige.Several Slytherins turned and walked towards the cellar. 'Snape' roughly shoved a few students who were still hesitating, and the Slytherins were driven to a trot.Slughorn, dumbfounded, reluctantly followed.

"What's going on?" Harry heard Hermione's voice ringing in his ears, "Didn't he run away?"

"That's Marciana," Harry whispered back.

"Why did she make up as Snape!" Ron's voice was a little disgusted.

"This is a good strategy." Hermione said thoughtfully, "Snape's control over Slytherin is unmatched by Professor Slughorn. Now this is the fastest way to stabilize Slytherin." Method."

Snape's usual simple and rude style unexpectedly brought Marciana great convenience today.Snape never likes to explain things, and always looks like "If you don't understand why I let you do this, it must be because your IQ is too low", so the Slytherin teenagers were yelled at by him, and they reflexively I obeyed, without asking the bottom line.While driving a few students away, Marciana quickly found a reason to persuade them.

The cellar lounge arrived soon, and Marciana pushed the Slytherins in one by one, and then followed suit.

Draco Malfoy and Goyle were sitting on the sofa when they saw a large group of classmates driven back in disgrace, and stood up vigilantly.Behind the boys came a tall, thin, black-robed wizard, and then a panting Slughorn.

The door to the cellar lounge was closed.The waiting room was full of a group of seventeen or eighteen year olds. Many of them were already as tall as Snape, and some were even taller than him. Looking at them together, they were quite intimidating.Slughorn couldn't help swallowing, the sweat dripping down his face even faster.

"Draco, you're not with them." 'Snape' first cast his eyes on the pale boy with light blond hair.

"That's right, I won't go." Draco said grimly, then pursed his lips and added, "I can be of service to your lord at Hogwarts. I can stay and find out about Potter."

'Snape' snorted lowly.

"Why did you let us come back?" Theodore Nott said, "The lord doesn't need so many spies... We must go find him, or he will become suspicious!"

"I didn't know that I taught a group of Gryffindors." 'Snape' said coldly, "Why, can't wait to go to the battlefield? Want to see if you can survive the firefight? He took a step forward, looked around at the teenagers in the room, and lowered his voice, "You know as well as I do that those creatures standing with the Dark Lord are indistinguishable from each other. Are you going to take this risk? ?”

The teenagers looked at each other in blank dismay, many of them had expressions of fear in their eyes.

"But...but this kind of risk is for the glory of the family, and it is worth it." Gore said nah.

'Snape' sneered: "Your fathers are almost all under the command of the Dark Lord, and their service will naturally bring glory to your family. But if you are dead, what is the use of family glory? Many of you here are The only son of an ancient pure-blood family. Are you really going to bet on whether you can survive the flying spells and the trampling of giants?"

He turned to Theodore Nott: "Nott, you are already the last male heir of your family, are you going to gamble with the survival of the surname Nott?"

Malfoy gritted his teeth, Goyle lowered his head blankly, and the blood on many faces faded.

"What do you mean? What do you mean I am the last male heir?" Theodore Knott suddenly asked with a pale face, "I am not, my father..."

'Snape' looked at him in surprise: "You don't know? Your father died a few hours ago, and the Dark Lord did it. If you really intend to go to that lord, I advise you to pretend I don’t know anything about it, don’t even mention your father.”

Nott trembled all over, "He...he...what did he do wrong to offend that lord?"

"He was in the wrong place at the wrong time." 'Snape' paused, "Sorry."

Marciana wasn't lying.In Harry's vision, Theodore Nott's father was one of the Death Eaters massacred by Voldemort's rage.Old Nott's ability was mediocre, he was not favored among Death Eaters, and his death would be in vain.

Nott fell on the sofa, biting his fist tightly, and suppressed sobs leaked out from between his teeth.

There was a moment of silence in the lounge, except for Nott's panting, there was no sound, and a thick sorrow of a rabbit dying and a fox spreading.

At this moment, Crabbe suddenly stood up and drew out his wand.

"I have to go." He gritted his teeth. "Professor Snape, you know my father's situation. If I don't go, you know what he will do to my father! And my mother! And Pan— ’ He took a quick look at Pansy Parkinson and fell silent.

Parkinson looked over keenly, with some surprise on his face.

Crabbe was stocky, almost a head taller than Snape.At this time, his face was covered with cold sweat, his arms were trembling slightly, and the tip of his wand spit out unstable sparks of magic power.

'Snape' stared menacingly at the boy's desperate eyes, raised his hand, grabbed Crabbe's hand holding the wand, and pressed down bit by bit.

Crabbe gasped heavily, under the sharp gaze of the other party, his eyes gradually turned red, and his arms slowly lost strength.

"You should be thankful that I have been magnanimous today," said 'Snape' icily, "next time you dare point your wand at me, and you will pay for it."

He raised his chin and looked around at the boys and girls in the lounge: "I'll give you an excellent excuse. None of you need to go to the adult to report, because I will lock you all in the Slytherin lounge. "

The Slytherins were taken aback.

"You have no way to step out of the cellar until the battle is over. You don't need to try to resist, you are no match for me." 'Snape' sneered, "If the Dark Lord asks afterward, just tell the truth Honestly, put it on me. Crabbe, I promise your mom and dad are okay."

Marciana let Snape take the blame without guilt.

Anyway, today was going to be a life-and-death showdown, she thought, after today, Snape would no longer have to make false claims under Voldemort's hands.Even if he made a mistake in his calculations, since Snape had already returned to the Death Eaters' stronghold, he would know that he was a fake after two confessions, and he would not be implicated.

'Snape' and Professor Slughorn emerged through the door to the Slytherin lounge, which closed behind them. 'Snape' raised his wand and began to speak the blocking spell.Slughorn looked at him incredulously. "Severus! I thought..."

The other party threw a sly smile at him.

Slughorn couldn't help flinching, thought for a while, and opened his eyes again: "Martha?! Polyjuice Potion?"

"As expected of you, guess right." The tall and thin black-robed wizard smiled cheerfully, and then showed an apologetic smile, "I didn't mean to offend you, but after all, Snape has led Slytherin House for so many years ..."

"I'm not offended, as long as things can be sorted out."

Slughorn also raised his wand, and while adding a defensive spell to the blocking spell, he said in a low voice, "I have to say, you've learned really well. I always thought you had the potential of a Slytherin..."

Marciana solved the problems of the students who were born as Death Eaters, leaving Slughorn to wake up the younger Slytherins, and she led Harry to the Gryffindor Tower: "Let's go first Find Neville. Sirius is still waiting to meet you outside the secret passage, you can be invisible, and you have an invisibility cloak, so you can walk quietly from Hogsmeade. We have to get you out first."

"No, I can stay and fight!" Harry said firmly.

Marciana stopped in her tracks, Harry lifted the invisibility spell, and looked at her without flinching: "I can't escape alone."

Marciana remembered Dumbledore's words - destroying the Horcrux, letting Harry die at the hands of Voldemort, killing Voldemort, these three things must be done in this order.The first thing has been done, the second thing... Marciana looked at the boy's sincere and brave eyes, and closed her eyes.

It's not a good day, she thought, it's too confusing.The spell has no eyes on the battlefield, and if any Death Eater or any dark creature kills Harry, it's over.She opened her eyes, and was about to reject Harry, but felt the double-sided mirror in her arms slightly warm.

"Wait here!" Marciana said seriously to the three of Harry, she found an empty classroom and slipped in, cast a series of anti-eavesdropping and anti-peeping spells before taking out the double-sided mirror: "Ah! think."

"Severus! How come?" Dumbledore said, appearing on the other side of the double-sided mirror, surprised, and then he calmed down quickly, "No, of course not... Polyjuice Potion?"

Marciana nodded: "I'm about to contact you, I'm at Hogwarts, I have an important situation..."

"Listen to me, Martha," interrupted Dumbledore, "I need you to get everyone out of Hogwarts."

"We already know that Voldemort is coming." Marciana said calmly, "I also have a plan to temporarily hold the castle. You have to try to lure Voldemort away to help us out, but I have a way to keep Hogwarts safe for at least one day One night, or even longer."

She briefly told Dumbledore what had happened.

"So the last Horcrux was also destroyed?" Dumbledore asked eagerly.

Marciana took out the Coronet of Destruction from her bosom, and waved it in front of the double-sided mirror.

"Great, this is really good news..." Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief, and thought for a moment quietly, "You must ensure Harry's safety no matter what, and evacuate teachers and students as much as possible. I will come to Huo Gwarz joins you."

"What? No, Albus, Minerva and I can buy you time, but we still want you to think of a way out, and you're out there..."

"Martha, listen to me." Dumbledore's expression was extremely serious, "Voldemort is already encircling Hogwarts now. He has brought everyone with him."

"What do you mean, all hands?"

"Literally. He brought every wizard and dark creature he could use."

"Impossible..." Marciana murmured, "He shouldn't be so violent. His giants can't Apparate..."

"I'm [-] percent sure that Severus took a huge risk just now to send this message."

Marciana felt sweat dripping from her palms.

"Giant...Although giants have strong magic resistance, I should be able to solve one—no, two. Giants never listen to wizards' orders. Even if Voldemort bought them, they can only be one or two, yes Bar……"

"Voldemort managed to bribe the chief of a tribe," said Dumbledore calmly. "He has fifteen to twenty giants under him."

Marciana's eyes darkened for a while: "Albus, five giants are enough to level Hogwarts Castle!"

"In addition to giants and Death Eaters, Voldemort has hundreds of werewolves and countless dementors under his command. He brought them all, and they are now gathering in the direction of Hogsmeade." Dumbledore said heavily , "I'm sorry Martha, but Hogwarts can't hold it anymore."

The author has something to say: Slughorn: Strange, Severus smiled so brightly today.

--------------------------------------------

Once again, brainstorming in the power system set by Rowling.

Rowling may not have read Qidian novels (hey), the entire power system is sometimes OP (overpower) and sometimes super weak.Here I let the giant OP.In the original book, Voldemort got a bunch of giants, but only two came in the final battle.I thought about it carefully, a tribal giant, that is a group of siege beasts, this should be super strong, right?
