I'm playing a big knife at HP

Marciana came out of the empty classroom with a dazed expression.She was still holding Snape's face, which was already pale, but now it could be called gray, looking scary.Harry took two steps forward, Ron and Hermione also lifted the invisibility spell, and the three of them looked over worriedly: "What's wrong?"

Marciana came back to her senses and held Harry's shoulder tightly: "You must leave, leave immediately."

"What happened?" Hermione asked nervously.

"Voldemort not only brought Death Eaters, he brought all the werewolves and..." Marciana said dryly, "and giants. More than fifteen giants."

"My God," Ron yelled, "we're dead."

Harry didn't know, so Hermione couldn't help shivering when she thought of the fear of being dominated by Hagrid's giant brother, Grop.Harry couldn't help asking: "Is there anything special about giants? They are indeed very strong, but other than that..."

Marciana shook her head: "Do you still remember that night, when Umbridge took five Aurors to arrest Hagrid, did the five Aurors have nothing to do with him? Hagrid is just a half-giant."

Ron nodded and added: "The most terrifying thing about giants is that they are almost completely immune to magic, and their skin is thick and thick. Physical attacks are almost useless against them. A hundred wizards face giants, and a hundred Muggles have no what a difference."

Hermione bit her lips tightly: "This is not right - I read in the book that the living space of giants has been repeatedly compressed by wizards, and in recent years they can only survive in the deep mountains. If they are really so powerful, why are they being suppressed by wizards?" Pushed to this point? They must have a weakness—any creature has a weakness, doesn't it?"

"They're not very smart." Ron spread his hands and received Hermione's eyes.

"Ron is right." Marciana shook her head, "Giants are not smart, they are aggressive and irritable. The reason why wizards have the upper hand when facing giants is entirely by instigating them to fight among themselves. But This strategy does nothing to solve our immediate predicament."

Harry murmured, "No wonder I feel that Voldemort is so confident that he can take Hogwarts...so..."

The four wizards who knew the truth stood under the cold moonlight at the end of summer, feeling chills all over their bodies.

Marciana clenched her fists and walked towards the auditorium first: "Harry, follow me closely. Even if I do my best, I will send you out safely."

Harry felt very strange watching someone exactly like Snape say something like protecting himself.

When they came to the auditorium, students from the four colleges had already gathered in the auditorium noisily.Professor McGonagall was saying loudly: "...students follow the prefect closely. Once the signal is received, immediately lead by the prefect through the lounge fireplace to St. Mungo's."

Most of the students were still in pajamas, looking terrified.

Hufflepuff's Ernie McMillan stood up: "What if we want to stay and fight?"

There was some applause from the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff houses.

"If you are old enough, you can stay." McGonagall replied.

"Where's Professor Snape?" a girl at the Slytherin table called out.

Mag's lips were tightened, and when she was about to speak, Marciana suppressed her confused thoughts and strode out.

"I'm here." She said coldly.

Professor McGonagall gripped her wand almost immediately, watching her warily.But Professor Sprout stared at 'Snape' thoughtfully, took the hand that McGonagall was about to raise his wand, and shook his head.

Marciana walked up to the students of the fourth courtyard, her empty and indifferent eyes swept over the students of the fourth courtyard.The students of Slytherin seemed relieved, but the students of the other three courtyards lowered their faces, some flinched, and some stared back with hatred. Everyone had a look of fear or resentment on their faces .Marciana looked at these familiar, young and even immature faces, and slowly said: "Follow the arrangements of the respective deans, and don't leave the common room no matter what you hear. Most importantly, close the Evacuate immediately at the signal. Don't try to get personal belongings, don't hesitate, don't try to find your best friend in the other house. Delay means death. Once you reach St. The lower grade students go, as for the others..." She sneered with a Snape signature, "Remember you are wizards. You have magic power in your body, a wand in your hand, and a brain in your head. Rely on your own ability, escape for your own life go."

The students below burst into whispers and looked at 'Snape' in surprise.

At this moment, another high-pitched and cold voice resounded through the auditorium.

"I know you are preparing to resist."

The students screamed, and the younger children huddled together and trembled. Everyone looked up, looking for the source of the sound.

"Your efforts are in vain. You are no match for me. I don't want to kill you. I have great respect for the teachers at Hogwarts. I don't want wizards to bleed."

Voldemort paused very skillfully.Silence is more effective than all words, and fear quietly penetrated into the hearts of the students in silence.Marciana sneered and clenched the wand in her hand.

"Hand over Harry Potter," said Voldemort's voice, "and none of you will be hurt. Hand over Harry Potter and I will keep the school safe. Hand over Harry Potter and you will get rewarded.

"I waited until midnight."

Thousands of eyes turned to Harry, and also to the notorious Death Eater Snape.

"What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear what I just said?" The black-robed wizard on the stage shouted sharply, "Go back to the rest room! Let's go!"

Marciana poured her mana into the last few words, and her deep voice echoed in the auditorium, with a magical power that made people involuntarily obey.Many students stood up immediately and filed out of the auditorium.At the Ravenclaw table, a few older students stayed behind.More Hufflepuffs stayed, and almost half of Gryffindors stayed. Almost all members of the DA Army, adults or not, stayed on.

Professor McGonagall had no choice but to go down and began to drive away the underage students: "Absolutely not, Creevey, go! And you, Perks!"

Colin Creevey argued loudly: "It's not fair! I'm a month old! I'm a member of the DA!"

Ginny was also arguing with Harry Ron who persuaded him to leave, "I won't leave! You can't force me!"

Marciana walked down aggressively, stood in front of Creevey, and sneered: "A member of the DA Army, right? You want to stay, right?"

Colin Creevey straightened up and confronted him angrily.

"In case you encounter a Death Eater on the way to evacuate, you plan to let those first-year freshmen use the Levitation Curse to fight it?" Marciana continued to sneer, "Look at your brother. He encountered a Death Eater , what spell do you plan to use against it?"

Colin looked at Danny Creevey behind him and hesitated.

The black-robed wizard glanced at the Gryffindor table.

"Good, good, all the seventh grades stayed. It's amazing. That is to say, none of the students in the Gryffindor tower can Apparate? It seems that only the lower grades of Gryffindor will be killed Stuck in St. Mungo's, tsk tsk, how indifferent. But since it's Gryffindor, I don't think those kids would mind paying with their lives for the bravery of their seniors?"

The Gryffindor seventh-year students looked at each other, and McGonagall took the opportunity to grab a few underage students: "Go back quickly, if you want to help, protect the lower grades to evacuate safely."

A seventh-grade student came forward with a curse, and pulled Racolin Creevey: "Forget it, they're right, let's go. I'm responsible for sending the lower grades away, and I'm the best at apparating. "

The underage students finally all evacuated from the auditorium. Dozens of young wizards Qiqi who had just grown up looked at Marciana. She walked towards Mag, tugged on her sleeve, and motioned for several principals to come with her.

McGregor looked carefully at the face that belonged to Snape: "Martha?"

In front of these few colleagues, Marciana felt that she finally couldn't support her calm appearance.She held Mag's shoulder, feeling that no matter how hard she tried, her hand was still trembling slightly.

"Minerva, we may be signaling soon—we may really only have so much time until midnight." She managed to suppress the desperation in her voice, "Hogwarts can't hold it anymore."

"What? We just agreed on a plan. If all the protection is erected, it should be able to last at least one day and one night, enough to wait for the reinforcements from the Order of the Phoenix." Mag asked in surprise.

Marciana told the news of the giant to the four abbots.With fifteen giants, it might take even an hour to level Hogwarts.She saw hope vanish from the eyes of four powerful wizards, replaced by fear and despair.

"Is the news reliable?" McGonagall murmured.

Marciana nodded with difficulty.

Professor Sprout glanced back at the dozens of seventh graders who volunteered to stay and fight: "We have to get them out, too."

McGonagall was silent for a while, then raised her face and said to Slughorn, "Horace, take them away."

Professor Slughorn was taken aback.

"You go. I have no family, Hogwarts is my home, and these students are my children. But you don't have to stay here and die with me." McGonagall said slowly, "When you meet Gran Students of Fendor, I ask you to help as much as you can if you have the opportunity. Pomona, Felius, you too, go if you want."

Professor Sprout smiled and stamped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve: "Hogwarts is also my home."

Professor Flitwick sighed, but didn't move.Slughorn took out a handkerchief and kept wiping the oily sweat from his forehead. His curly beard trembled. It took a long time before he smiled wryly: "Forget it, I don't have any family anymore. After all, because of Voldemort, I hid in hiding." It’s boring after all these years. You’ve all been my students, and I’m not a young man anymore, so there’s no pity.”

Marciana felt as if the air in the Great Hall had grown thinner.She was cold and out of breath, and could hardly bear to take another look at the teachers and students in the auditorium—people who put their lives in her hands and trusted her to keep them safe.

I can't protect them, they are going to die today.I will lose them too.

She left the auditorium as if fleeing for her life, but met a large group of people in the corridor.Fred, George, Cho Chang, Kingsley, Lupine, Sirius...all the members of the Order of the Phoenix, and almost all the graduated DA members, all rushed in front of her, their faces full of vitality. looked at her with joy and courage.

"Why do you..." Marciana was stunned.Sirius stepped forward and smiled and pushed her: "What's wrong with you? Why are you dressed so strangely?"

Only then did she realize that the effect of the compound decoction had just expired, and she had returned to her original appearance, with the oversized black robe hanging loosely on her body.

"Why are you here?" she murmured.

"I notified a few old DA members." Neville shook a golden Galleon, showing a bright smile, "I heard that it is to defend Hogwarts, even those who have graduated will come back immediately!"

"And we notified the Order of the Phoenix!" Fred and George said, shoulder to shoulder, "No one wants to miss out on this fun, one by one, it's like a snowball, everyone is coming!"

Lupine stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't blame Sirius for leaving his post, he came in with us. It sounds like there's going to be a war in the castle anyway, and it doesn't look good to leave him alone." ,right?"

These people, these people I love, are real people.

Marciana felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, her mind was buzzing, and she looked at Lupine dully: "Why are you here? Why don't you stay with Dora at home?"

"Dora's with her parents, she's fine." Lupine smiled. "I guess I'll be all right if I'm away for a day or two, right?"

He was about to be a father, and a child was about to lose her father.

"You leave, you all have to leave." Marciana murmured.

Her weak voice was drowned out by the excited conversation of the crowd.At this time, a witch with bright pink hair suddenly lifted the invisibility spell and jumped out: "Da da! Surprised? Surprised?!"

The last breath of air was also sucked from Marciana's lungs.

"Dora! You should have stayed home!" Lupine was taken aback. "How do you know... I told Andromeda to keep it from you!"

"Did you hide it from a professional Auror? I also passed the eavesdropping!" Nymphadora Tonks said triumphantly, "I am the main force of the Order of the Phoenix, how can you do without me?"

Marciana suddenly rushed forward, holding her arms tightly with both hands: "Are you crazy?! You are pregnant! Leave immediately!"

Tonks was frightened by her red eyes: "...I'm fine, the month is very young, I don't have any discomfort."

Lupine came up to Masiana: "Let go of Dora first. Dora, listen to her."

"What if something happens to you? What if something happens to your baby?" She looked up at Lupine and shouted, "Take her away! You take her home right away!"

Tonks wrenched her hands free and said with a frown, "I'm here for the child. I'm pregnant with a half-blood child. If Voldemort wins, what will his life be like? My husband and almost all of my friends Here, how can I stand by and watch?" She glanced at Lupin again, "Don't persuade me that I'm pregnant, I've been listening to it for so many days, and I can hear calluses in my ears. Could it be that I'm pregnant? Are women not human beings who cannot make their own decisions? If my husband can leave me to die, I can be with him too."

Marciana finally broke down and yelled: "But I can't protect you! Voldemort has brought nearly twenty giants, and they can smash Hogwarts in no time!" Tears kept gushing from her eyes , "I have no way to protect you in this situation, everyone here—everyone!—has life in danger!"

The crowd fell silent.

Tonks opened his mouth and frowned, and looked at her for a while: "But I don't need your protection."

Marciana's face became as cold as a stone statue: "I don't need your combat power either. Leave, I don't need a pregnant witch."

"What are you talking about! I'm one of the most combative members of the Order of the Phoenix!" Tonks raised his voice.

"I've had enough. I've been protecting you in action and cleaning up the mess for your clumsiness. I'm tired. Today is different. I don't have time to take care of you. Don't get in the way." Marciana said cruelly.

Tonks' hair suddenly turned fiery red: "You're talking nonsense!"

Marciana sneered: "You can't even walk through the auditorium without knocking over a chair. Get lost. I don't have the patience to talk to you."

Tonks' cheeks flushed in embarrassment, his chest heaved, he suddenly turned around, roughly pushed away the people behind him, and left wiping away his tears.

Marciana stood where she was, with a cold expression still on her face.Everyone in the Order of the Phoenix looked at her with complicated expressions.Several of her former students, including Hermione, looked at her with disappointment in their eyes.

Lupine shook his head: "I know this is not your intention, but Martha, you have to know that Dora is not a six-year-old child anymore, she is a very capable witch." He paused, "And she is not Your sister. You don't have to work so hard to protect her. In fact, you don't have to work so hard to protect anyone."

Marciana whispered, "Remus, take your wife home."

She raised her eyes, and there was only deep fatigue in those blue cat eyes that were always full of light: "You too. If you want to go home, go, everyone already knows the current situation. You have the power to protect yourself. It's not too late to leave now. Go back to your family."

"What's the situation now?" Neville was the only one with an excited smile on his face, "I didn't catch up with the topic just now-we are going to fight, right? We fight, and then we will overthrow Voldemort! The plan That's right, right?"

"Then what are your plans now?" Kingsley asked Marciana, "What about the teachers and students at Hogwarts?"

"I've arranged for the students to be evacuated to St. Mungo's through the fireplace—even if Voldemort had spied on the Floo network, he wouldn't have been able to catch that many Apparating students at once. Help evacuate if you can."

"What about the teachers?"

"Ordinary teachers, Madam Pomfrey and Mr. Filch evacuated with the students." Marciana took a breath and said as calmly as possible, "The four deans decided to stay."

Sirius and Kingsley looked at each other, then turned to ask her, "What about you?"

"I'll stay too." Marciana smiled. "When the students evacuate, someone must put up an all-out resistance in the castle to contain Voldemort's army, at least to attract his attention until the evacuation is over."

"Alright," Sirius shrugged, "I'll stay too."

"You're crazy! No way," Marciana yelled. "You have to get Harry out of here safely."

Sirius patted her on the shoulder and walked towards the auditorium with a smile: "I think Kingsley and the others can completely protect Harry."

Kingsley shrugged: "My buddy, I don't plan to go anywhere, you can find someone else. If a few old professors are the last line of defense for Hogwarts, where will I put my Auror's face?"

"Brother, giant, this kind of excitement is not only once in a hundred years, but also once in decades?" Fred patted George's chest desperately, and George also said with a smile, "That's right! We are really lucky. "

"Besides, it's not that we look down on everyone here, it's really—" the twins said in unison, "No one dares to say that they are more familiar with the castle than us!"

"Molly," Marciana looked at the mother of the twins for help, "convince your children to take them away. You can't stay here with your whole family."

Molly looked at her husband and several sons very worriedly, and sighed, "They are all adults and have their own ideas, besides—" She smiled wryly, "A family should be together."

"Come with me, the rest of the DA are in the auditorium! I have to tell you about our deeds against the Carrow brothers and sisters!" Neville led several graduated DA members, and a group of people shouted loudly "Excuse me", squeezed the dazed Marciana aside, and rushed towards the auditorium.She also seemed to see the three of Harry sneaking among the students and running towards the auditorium.

"Hey, are you coming?" Sirius raised his hand and looked at his watch. "I heard what Voldemort said just now. It's less than an hour before midnight, and we need to discuss strategies to defend against the enemy."

Marciana vaguely saw the back of a red-haired witch running all the way: "Molly?"

Molly Weasley stopped and turned around: "What's the matter, dear?"

"What if something happens to them?" She felt that she must look weak and incompetent now, and she must have disappointed Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix.But Marciana was too scared.

"What if another of them dies?"

"Oh, poor child." The red-haired witch turned around, gently wiped away the tears from her face, held her in her arms and patted her on the back, "That's not your fault either. We chose This road has such a realization. Maybe we will die, maybe worse - we will lose our loved ones. But like you, since we made this decision, we can bear the consequences of this decision."

Marciana hugged Molly, feeling that her tears were being impolitely falling into the witch's disheveled red hair, but at the moment she just wanted to cry: "But these consequences are too tragic! Too tragic!"

"It's all right, we know what it's all about, don't we?" Molly said softly.

"I will kill Voldemort," murmured Marciana, "because we want to protect those who cannot protect themselves."

"Well, there are hundreds of little wizards in the castle, and they expect us to buy them time." Molly patted her head, "Now is not the time to cry."

Marciana nodded, raised her sleeves and wiped her face indiscriminately, and heard the sound of chaotic footsteps behind her.She turned to see the fiery red-haired Tonks whirling back, trotting behind Lupine.Tonks was about to poke her chest with his index finger, and said angrily: "I know what you said was not sincere, but you still have to apologize to me! At least three times!" She paused, then gritted her teeth and said, "I still want to buy more Lightning puffs apologize! All flavors!"

Marciana smiled: "Okay."

"And shout 'Tonks is the best Auror' in front of everyone!!"

"Tonks is the best Auror," Marciana said immediately.

Tonks snorted, his hair turned pink again, he glared at her fiercely, glanced at the members of the Order of the Phoenix who were about to disappear at the end of the corridor, and stomped to catch up: "Damn it! Abandon me again!"

Lupine trotted on, and Molly hurried after her.

The corridor that was bustling just now was empty, only the sound of crackling and burning torches.The front is dark, leading to the auditorium, and the back leads to the student lounge of the Fourth Court.There, the prefects waited with the young wizards still in their pajamas, to pass this difficult time under the shelter of the castle.They didn't know that after tonight, Hogwarts Castle might not exist anymore.

Marciana wiped her tears away with the baggy black Snape-esque robe, wrapping her arms around her shoulders.With this posture, it was as if someone was telling her, don't be afraid, I'm with you.At the end of the corridor ahead, people from the Order of the Phoenix and Hogwarts were running around, and Snape was somewhere near the castle.

Everything about me, everyone I love, is here.Maybe I'm weak, maybe I can't protect anyone, but tonight, they will be my strength.

With a wave of her wand, Marciana turned the robe back into a tight combat uniform and walked towards the Great Hall.

When she walked into the auditorium, the four deans, Kingsley and Lupine, were crowding their heads around the Marauder's Map, pointing and discussing the defense plan: "The three deans lead the team up to Ravenclaw Tower , Astronomy Tower, and Gryffindor Tower—there is a good view and a good location for magic. In addition, the playground and the entrances to the secret passages need to be guarded—”

The twins, who were eavesdropping, squeezed over as soon as they heard the secret passage: "It sounds like our job!"

Marciana walked towards the crowd, they all looked up at her, dozens of pairs of eyes fell on her for a moment.Marciana straightened her body, and said slowly: "Voldemort's most powerful trump card is the giant. I think the first task is to eliminate the threat of the giant and keep the castle, so that we can defend against other enemies based on the ground."

The wizards all nodded solemnly.

"Where's Hagrid?" Marciana asked.

"Still outside the Forbidden Forest, he is guarding the exit of the Forbidden Forest - some dark creatures in the Forbidden Forest may have taken refuge in Voldemort." Professor McGonagall replied.

Marciana nodded, "I'll leave this to you first. I have to organize a group of scouts to find out some information about the enemy army for us." After speaking, she quickly ran into the darkness outside the castle.

When Marciana came to Hagrid's hut, he was holding a huge torch like a small tree and leading Fang to patrol.

"Hagrid, can you still find the colony of hippogriffs and thestrals?"

Hagrid was a little surprised: "I can try, but it may not be successful... The magical creatures seem to have sensed something, and many of them hid in the depths of the Forbidden Forest."

Hagrid took a large fan of bloody raw beef, and Marciana searched deep into the Forbidden Forest.They were stopping in a clearing when Hagrid dropped the raw beef and called out, "Buckbeak!"

Time passed minute by minute, and it was only half an hour before midnight.The Forbidden Forest was quiet, as if the creatures inside had sensed the impending disaster and death, and hid themselves.

Hagrid scratched his chin in embarrassment: "They don't want to come out. Usually thestrals love beef most, so they won't come today."

Marciana pursed her lips, her hands glowed with white light, and the halo slowly flowed around like flowing water.She shouted: "Please help us! Please!"

There was a strange old rhythm in her voice, and a sudden breeze rose in the Forbidden Forest, and the branches and leaves answered her voice, and carried her plea deep into the forest.They waited patiently, and just when Hagrid was about to give up hope, the canopy shook and Buckbeak fell from the sky, followed by four or five hippogriffs.The bushes made a slight noise, and a dozen thestrals also came out, lowered their heads and began to tear the beef.Buckbeak raised his head haughtily, yelped, and walked over to Hagrid's side.The companions behind it surrounded Marciana with great interest, and began to peck at the magic power flowing out of her hands.

Marciana whispered to the hippogriffs and thestrals beside her for a while, they took a few steps back, flapped their wings one by one, and quickly disappeared into the night sky.

"Alas! Alas! Come back!" Hagrid yelled anxiously, looking back at her, "Why are they gone again?"

"I need information on the location and number of Voldemort's men. There are no better scouts than them." Marciana looked up at the night sky.

After less than ten minutes, the Thestrals and Hippogriffs landed on the open space again.Marciana stood cautiously in front of Buckbeak, stroking his sharp beak, and the blue eyes met those huge yellow eyes, and the images flashed quickly.She turned her head, with a look of ecstasy on her face: "Voldemort's giants are gathering in the south!"

Hagrid looked at her in horror. "Giant? My God! A giant working for You-Know-Who has come to Hogwarts? I'll have to take Grawp to help."

"Oh, he brought a whole tribe of giants. But Hagrid, they are gathering in the south!" Marciana showed a big smile, "I have a plan! Hogwarts is saved!"
