HP Dawn Night

"They broke into Gringotts!" At noon on May [-]st, a sudden report in the "Daily Prophet" shocked the entire Hogwarts.A flock of owls marched into the lunchtime auditorium carrying single-page newspapers one after another, delivering express reports to everyone.

I snatched the newspaper from Draco, and it had the Gringotts building destroyed.After a quick read I found something suspicious - "What are they doing at Gringotts? And that dragon, dragons are usually used to guard the vaults of the oldest families, right?"

"Riding a dragon... how dare they do it... You see, the bounty on Potter here has been doubled, and now he's worth twenty thousand galleons. Granger's and Weasley's heads are also worth ten thousand galleons each " Draco was calmer than me, "Potter will not go to Gringotts for no reason, there must be something they are looking for."

"Certainly not money."

This explosive news immediately exploded on the four long tables.Slytherins and Gryffindors had the loudest fights, with the former more shocked and angry, the latter more pleasantly surprised: it was yet another successful escape for Potter, not to mention taking a precious dragon with him.

"Both of you!" Draco commanded abruptly, turning to Theodore and Astoria - who had become interim prefects after Pansy and Blaise disappeared - "maintain discipline and don't Is it okay to be surprised by some of Potter's small movements?"

Theodore turned a deaf ear to his words, but Astoria seemed a little nervous.Daphne's death is estimated to have left a deep shadow on her.

At the same time, there was a burning pain from the Dark Mark on my left arm.This pain has been getting more and more frequent in the past month or two, and I'm getting used to it.The pain in the scar was a good thing, since the Dark Lord was angry, it meant that Potter and his party were marching forward.

"He's very angry." Draco controlled his expression and whispered to me, "You stay in the castle while I go to Hogsmeade."

"Notify Pansy and Blaise?"

"It must be a big deal for the "Daily Prophet" to publish more news. Maybe..." Draco hesitated, avoiding the crowd nearby, and said in a voice as small as a mosquito, "Maybe it will happen tonight." There are some changes."

"How are you going to bring them in?" I asked. "The castle is full of dementors, and you don't have an invisibility cloak."

The Carlo brothers and sisters on the teacher's bench showed unbelievably angry expressions, and I was a little happy to find that Professor McGonagall looked very...proud.

"I can only risk taking them through the dementors. The two of them must be brought back to the castle before dark, otherwise it will be difficult for us to get in touch with them after that." Draco pretended to end the lunch, and he and Together, I avoided the still rowdy crowd and went to the foyer, "Meet your father in private if possible, and then try to find someone from Dumbledore's Army."

"I can't go to Dumbledore's Army. No one knows my identity except Neville." I looked at the chaotic auditorium, "You must come back before sunset."

"I will," Draco promised.

I'm worried that the Dark Lord will summon the Death Eaters.If Draco could stay in the castle, then he would have a reason not to go to the Dark Lord, otherwise he would be in a situation from which he would not be able to get out.

I watched him walk out of the hall, and returned to the long table as if nothing had happened.If the Dark Lord and Potter are going to fight at Hogwarts tonight, now I must stick to the last line of defense, so that no one will doubt my identity at the last moment.

"Where's Draco?" Theodore asked quickly, as soon as I got back.

"Go and send a letter to his parents and ask if there is anything you need to do." I put on a convincingly indifferent expression, "If you are in a hurry, Theodore, just go with Astoria Help manage this group of noisy students," I pointed to the noisy junior students at the other end of the long table, "don't make a fuss because of Potter's little adventure."

Theodore got a bad nose, angrily dropped his knife and fork and strode towards those unfortunate junior students.I glanced at Astoria, who jumped up and ran after Theodore as if bitten by a dragon.

"Is there anything I need to do?" Millicent asked when they were both away.

"I'll be away for a while this afternoon," I replied, "during which time you will keep an eye on Theodore for any unusual behavior." I have no doubt that Theodore will seize the last moment As a monster, he has always wanted to get rid of me and Draco, and the chaotic war period is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

"Ok."

"Send a letter to your grandmother by the way," I reminded. "You know what I mean."

Although the Burster family has no direct contact with the Death Eaters, no one can say whether they will be affected.

"They'll be fine. The Death Eaters know they're useless." Millicent had a determined look on his face. "What's your plan with Malfoy, Violet? I want to join the fight too."

"We won't openly take Potter's side until the war starts," I said. "Draco's parents and I are inextricably linked to the Dark Lord, and we have to think about family."

Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of my mother.What would happen to her if there was going to be a war tonight?

"Sorry, I have to excuse you for a second." I noticed Dad leave the teacher's desk. "See you at dinner." Just as I stood up, Crabbe reached over and took the last piece of pudding.

"Dad!" I yelled, "Can you spare me a moment?"

"Draco gone?"

"you saw it?"

"The three of them probably wouldn't be able to get through a dementor, but if they ran into a Death Eater they'd be finished. That's bold—like three Gryffindors."

"I don't think the lines between the houses are so clear, Dad," I declared. "I've been reckless, too, but recklessness is usually used to describe Gryffindors."

"The academy is originally allocated according to the general direction, not the details." Dad said the password to the stone statue, "Dumbledore!"

"Have you changed your password?"

"I need to make sure other people don't just walk in," Dad explained. "What's your problem?"

"What should we do if we go to war tonight? Do you have any suggestions?"

"I don't have any advice this time, Vio. I don't even know how Potter will get into Hogwarts." Dad said bluntly, "It's all up to you tonight."

This statement does not bode well.My heart sank a little: "I know."

"Last summer, I altered Bellatrix's memory to make her forget about your rebellion," said Pa, "but tonight—once you have to tear away your disguise, you're going to be a target. Black The Demon Lord will not tolerate any betrayal."

"What are you going to do? What are you going to do?"

Dad averted my gaze. "I won't be directly involved in the fight. I need to stay with the Dark Lord until the last moment—"

"No!" I yelled, "he'll find out—once we...he'll get you in trouble..." I realized his real plan when I noticed he was looking at me quietly the whole time. , "You can't do that!" I was terrified, "He's going to kill you! — wait a minute, that's why you gave me your memory? You're not going to come back?"

"In the past few years, you have grown a lot taller." Dad said suddenly, "You can almost look at me at the same level."

"You don't have to do that," I begged. "The Dark Lord will find me anyway, or he'll die without knowing about our betrayal. Don't…"

"Don't tell me that you have developed a sincere father-daughter relationship with me. You were afraid of me a few years ago." Dad suggested very "calmly" and "friendly", "If you can't accept You could have had Draco or Parkinson cast an Oblivion Charm on you. Vio, you and I would never have had anything to do. We look nothing alike, and you would have looked the same to me if it hadn't been for your mother's decision. Just an ordinary Slytherin—"

"But you are my father."

"You see, you still have your mother, and you also have Draco. In fact, my presence or absence doesn't make a big difference in your life." Dad said, "I have lied to the Dark Lord for many years, and in this world Nobody could ever lie to him until the last moment."

"I never knew you were so heroic." I shook my head, "Even if you sacrifice yourself, the Dark Lord will kill me in the end—"

"He didn't have time to—"

"The reason you're doing this is just to buy me some time!" I yelled. "It's neither necessary nor possible! You want to put all the blame on you? You want the Dark Lord to punish you only? Impossible! He will never let any traitor go, so you should stay at Hogwarts and fight with us—”

"I've made my decision." Dad interrupted me.

"I really don't understand." I wiped my tears with my sleeve, "So if I hadn't come to you, you were going to die alone? Not even giving me a chance to say goodbye?"

"You guys deserve to live more than me—you, Draco, Parkinson, and Zabini, and I've lived long enough. Besides, there's a good chance the Dark Lord is aware of me For my unfaithfulness, I have almost escaped death."

"This is a senseless sacrifice..."

"It's not." Dad softly denied, "We've been through almost seven years, and now it's time to go our separate ways."

"I do not--"

"If one day you know everything," Dad interrupted me again suddenly, "I hope you won't hate me too much."

I looked up in surprise, only to find something sparkly in his eyes.

"Live, Vio." With a sudden wave of his wand, I was thrown out of the headmaster's room, and the stone wall quickly closed in front of me.

"No!" I got up from the ground, "shattered! Torn apart!" The spell bounced back and hit the wall behind me, "Open the door! - Dumbledore! Dumbledore!"

But Stonewall did not open.
