The Bard at Hogwarts

Ino was stunned by the sudden change, and his mood fell into an abyss.

The green beam hit Hermione.

In an instant, those brown eyes that were as bright as stars lost their former look.

"Frost Shot!"

A sharp voice sounded, and dozens or hundreds of sharp arrows were shot at Crabbe.

Under Crabbe's puzzled eyes, his whole body was tied into a sieve. Even if he fell to the ground, his left hand was always in his pocket.

Blood mixed with ice slag spread outside the corridor.

Ino ignored Crabbe. After releasing the magic, he immediately looked at Hermione.

"Healing as before...healing as before..."

The powerful magic power and the continuous release of healing spells filled the entire ward with a holy and bright white light.

"Ah..." Madam Pomfrey screamed.

With Crabbe's death, the Imperius Curse was lifted.

After seeing Hermione lying on the ground and Crabbe tied up in a sieve, Madam Pomfrey reacted and immediately checked on the injured.

at the same time.

The entire castle seemed to have fallen into a sad atmosphere, the underground corridors, the first floor, the second floor, the third floor...the professor's office, the independent tower...all without exception.

And many emotional portraits also began to cry silently at this moment.

Transfiguration Office.

Professor McGonagall stood up abruptly, and her calm gaze suddenly disappeared, replaced by a look of shocking majesty.

Maybe others don't know what Castle's sadness represents, but fifty years ago she was a graduate.

The castle at that time also fell into the same sadness one day.

And that afternoon, everyone knew that a student named Myrtle died unexpectedly in the castle.

…

The campus hospital on the second floor.

After some inspections, Madam Pomfrey reluctantly accepted the reality.

The two students who fell to the ground were completely dead.

After receiving this result, Madam Pomfrey sat on the floor dejectedly.

Hogwarts has not had a student die in more than fifty years.

Today, not only did there die, but two students died at once. What was even more outrageous was that they died at the door of the school hospital.

As a doctor, she fell into regret and self-blame.

Perhaps because the time under control was short, Madam Pomfrey gradually remembered what happened after she woke up, but this made her blame herself more and more. If she had been more careful at the time, if she had discovered it in advance...

Madam Pomfrey leaned against the wall and closed her eyes sadly.

In the ward, the magic representing healing was still flickering on and off alternately.

…

Time, I don’t know how long has passed.

Ino continued to release the healing spell until his arm was held by another pale hand.

He suddenly raised his head and saw a pair of empty, lifeless eyes.

"Stop..." Snape's voice was calmer than usual, without even a trace of emotion.

After hearing the dissuasion, Ino looked around blankly, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout...

It seems that many people have come...

But what puzzled him was why so many people suddenly came...

"This is good for you." A calm voice sounded in my ears.

Looking at the potion handed over by Snape, Ino drank it in one gulp.

The bitter and sour smell filled the air instantly, and at the same time, he gradually came back to his senses.

Hermione, seemingly to save herself, blocked the killing curse.

…

Hogwarts, this castle that has stood for thousands of years, always seems calm and peaceful.

Just like its school motto - Don't disturb the sleeping dragon.

However, a sudden bad news, like thunder in winter, not only awakened the sleeping dragon, but also tore apart the peace of the past.

Fifty years later, another student died in the castle, this time two more, Vincent Crabbe of Slytherin and Hermione Granger of Gryffindor.

Only two days have passed since the Hogsmeade incident. Among the students who died this time was the girlfriend of Swinburne, one of the protagonists of the incident.

A storm rises from the ground.

The news spread throughout the castle instantly, as if a spell had been cast on it, shocking the hearts of every little wizard.

After radiating the entire castle, the news began to spread throughout the magical world with the efforts of the owl.

For this reason, the Daily Prophet once again temporarily printed an extra page of the newspaper.

…

A rocky island in northern England.

Voldemort looked at the newspaper in his hand and felt bad.

It had only been two days or even a day and a half since he had just reached a fragile alliance, and someone had given him such a big gift.

As for the person who gave the gift, he probably knew who it was, especially after seeing Vincent Crabbe's name.

"Stupid! Damn..."

Voldemort's angry voice echoed through the abandoned lighthouse.

He regretted it now. He should not have chosen to hide for the sake of safety. Even if he faced severe backlash, he should inform Barty Jr. as soon as possible.

But now no matter how much you regret, it will not help. This incident will inevitably cause Swinburne to counterattack, and this is what he least wants to see, and what caused all this...

The battle in Hogsmeade seemed to be an understatement, but he knew very well that he would be the one who dragged it on and failed, even if he used the Death Curse.

It was obvious that the other party probably had scruples and only allowed the black mist to cover the sky, but not the entire Hogsmeade. And the magic that disappeared instantly before was also useless.

The latter, in particular, seems to be born with the ability to resist the death curse.

As for the fierce fire he used in the end, it was just a weapon to stop the endless attacks and give him a chance to speak.

Relying on fierce fire to win? He hadn't thought about this at all.

The opponent has a special ability to transform and cannot even hit the life-killing curse, and it is useless to hope for Li Huo.

That's why.

Voldemort never believed that he could easily succeed with just two half-hearted people.

And among them, there must be someone he missed, or someone was adding fuel to the fire.

"Fudge...Dumbledore..."

The figures of these two people appeared in Voldemort's mind.

But intellectually, he preferred the latter, otherwise he didn't think Barty Jr. and that stupid student could succeed alone.

…

When Voldemort was confused.

Hogwarts is also clouded.

In the corridors and auditorium... everyone maintained a kind of silence, and even the sound of walking footsteps was much lighter than before.

In the Gryffindor dormitory, there was also no hustle and bustle.

Ginny lay crying in Harry's arms with tears in her eyes. She never imagined that the person who had just finished chatting in the morning would die in the castle in just a few hours.

Everything was so sudden.

…

Slytherin, as one of the houses in question.

Compared to Gryffindor, the common room located underground in the castle fell into an eerie silence.

Draco fell into a state of anxiety and fear. Crabbe was his follower, always had been.

Old Crabbe is also on good terms with the Malfoy family...

Unlike Draco's panic, Daphne had a complicated expression at the moment.

There is fear, fear, and a hint of disbelief.

Daphne looked at Pansy cautiously, then quickly looked away.

She didn't know if the incident had something to do with Pansy, but her childhood education told her that when many things happen, she should immediately see the person who benefited from them.

Pansy is undoubtedly among the winners.
