Chapter 657: You can’t lose your identity as a leader, Snape’s reasonable explanation

After the words fell, all the students looked at Aberforth in astonishment, and whispers filled the auditorium.

Dumbledore has a younger brother? But it does look similar. Does this mean they have the power to compete with the Dark Lord?

Seeing this, Aaron decided to add more fire, so he secretly summoned the phoenix.

A ball of flame burned blazingly above the auditorium, and a crisp chirp came from it, inspiring the confused people.

Then Fawkes flew out, covered in fire, and circled the auditorium twice before landing firmly on Aberforth's shoulder.

Seeing this scene, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff burst into loud cheers. Few of them had seen Aberforth, but they knew about Albus' phoenix.

Morale was instantly lifted, but Aberforth was not happy at all.

This is not showing off one's face, this is showing off one's face.

As soon as Phoenix came out, he denied that he was the leader of the Order of the Phoenix in front of everyone. I'm afraid no one believed it.

"Ahem!" Aaron coughed twice, "Those who are willing to stay where the battle is and wait for orders, and those who want to leave go to the shelter with Draco.

Crabbe, Goyle, you cooperate with Draco in managing the retreatants. If anyone disobeys, give him a slap. Act quickly! "

Slytherin stood up one after another, no one was left behind, Ravenclaw left some senior students, Hufflepuff was relatively more, more than half of Gryffindor stayed, Professor McGonagall He had to go out in person to forcefully drive away the lower-level wizards.

The students filed out and formed a long line, closely following Draco.

Aaron winked at Aberforth, and he reluctantly walked up to the podium under the expectant eyes of most people, "Time is running out, I will briefly announce the battle plan to everyone.

The Order of the Phoenix has made sufficient preparations in the past few days, and defensive barriers and traps have been set up. All we have to do is to defend Hogwarts Castle and extend the combat time as much as possible.

Ravenclaw Tower, Gryffindor Tower, and Astronomy Tower, these three commanding heights have a wide view and are convenient for casting spells.

Professor Lupin, Mr. Weasley, Kingsley and other members of the Order of the Phoenix are responsible for guarding it.

Several deans are responsible for leading others and guarding various entrances into the school..."

When Aberforth was organizing manpower allocation, Aaron walked up to Hermione and Clea and said, "You two don't want to stay anymore. Go to the Temple of God and evacuate."

"Can't you stay a little longer?" Klea asked.

"No, don't forget, you promised me."

"Okay, let's go!"

"Actually, you don't need to be so worried!" Hermione said tangledly, "No one dares to touch Clea's identity. As long as I don't take the initiative, there will be no problem."

"That was normal times." Aaron explained tiredly, "In war, swords have no eyes, and those Death Eaters will not confirm your identity at this time.

To them, those who remain are enemies, whether alive or dead. "

"But..."

"There is no but." Aaron said seriously, "Fleur's sister Gabrielle has been captured. Voldemort will use her to blackmail me if nothing else happens."

"What?" Hermione was shocked.

"You didn't tell me this." Klea frowned.

"I only received the news yesterday, but it doesn't matter, the backup force I left behind can ensure Gabrielle's safety.

But if something happens to you two again, I will be really passive.

So you must not stay here, go to Ollivander's Wand Shop and help me take care of Fleur. "

"Let's go, staying here will distract him." Clea took a deep look at Aaron, then took Hermione's hand and joined the evacuation team.

call!

Aaron breathed a heavy sigh of relief, picked up Abe and found a seat to sit down.

"System, open the personal panel."

[Host: Aaron Gaius]

[Magic energy: body: 12108, primary magister; missing body 12108, primary magister; total 24216 (high-level magister, a rare existence in the magic world)]

[Talent: Once-in-a-lifetime (the magic energy increases by 4 points every day, the body increases by 2 points, and the thoughts body increases by 2 points)]

[Items: Resurrection potion (can resurrect any creature that dies within an hour), magic carpet, Captain Jack's compass,...]

[Magic Point: 3024]

"Three thousand? It's barely enough." Aaron secretly thought in his heart, then opened the system mall and spent 2,500 magic points to buy the reincarnation blood stone.

Looking at the dark spirit stone in his hand that exuded a fierce red light, Aaron felt a little more confident.

He has already summoned the Haiti Division, the physical incarnation of the Tatar Stone, and with the addition of the Samsara Blood Stone, he now has three personal guards at the level of a great mage, greatly improving his sense of security.

But now is not the time to summon the eerie duchess. We can only hide it as a trump card and win by surprise at the critical moment.

After stroking the holy dragon in his arms, Aaron raised a smile on his lips.

"The next step is a tough battle, and it's time to give you some benefits. Are you ready?"

Abe's eyes suddenly lit up when he thought of what it was, and then he nodded vigorously.

"Quite anxious." Aaron rubbed the faucet, and then checked Abe's data panel for the first time in a long time.

[Pet: Abe]

[Race: Dragon (Saint: Unawakened)]

[Magic energy: 4676 (increases a little every day, has endless potential, and is the king among young dragons)]

[Innate abilities: flying, dragon breath, healing,? ? ? 】

"The magic energy is 4676, which is 324 points short of evolution.

It’s really interesting. After adding it for you, I have exactly two hundred points left.

But I'm not saying that your growth rate is really slow. "

"For dragons, this speed is no longer slow." Abe said a little aggrievedly, "After all, the lifespan of dragons is much longer than that of humans."

"That's true." Aaron shrugged, and then added 324 of his remaining 524 magic points to Abe's magic energy, helping it break through the bottleneck in advance.

Feeling the increase in strength, Abe jumped up excitedly and flapped his wings in mid-air to express his mood.

"Be calm." Aaron reminded angrily.

He could understand Abe's mood, but everyone else was overwhelmed by the clouds of war. You being so happy somewhat ruined the atmosphere.

After hearing the master's words, Abe flew to the table and squatted down, but he couldn't hide the light in his eyes.

"How big can it get now?"

"Almost thirty meters!"

Aaron raised his eyebrows, "Not bad, but what about the new abilities?"

Abe became excited again, "Master, I seem to be able to see various elemental particles floating in the air, and I can control them to a certain extent."

"hiss!"

Aaron gasped. The ability to evolve and awaken this time really surprised him, and he immediately checked Abe's data panel again.

[Pet: Abe]

[Race: Dragon (Saint: Unawakened)]

[Magic energy: 5000 (increases a little every day, has endless potential, and is the king among young dragons)]

[Innate abilities: flying, dragon breath, healing, weather control,? ? ? 】

Damn it! Weather manipulation, no wonder you can see those elemental particles.

This talent is really amazing, Abe can control hurricanes, heavy rain, hail and even thunder and lightning.

However, he had worked hard for several years to master the seven elemental magics. It was really heartbreaking that this dragon had acquired the same abilities as soon as he evolved.

However, Abe can only simply change the weather. It is probably not possible for someone like him to make full use of elemental magic.

......

On the other side, after Snape broke out of the barrier, he lay on the lawn in a state of embarrassment and vomited blood.

grass! What a ruthless attack, if it hadn't been for the iron armor curse, he would have died!

"Severus."

A cold voice reached his ears, and Snape subconsciously looked up. Voldemort, dressed in black robes and with red eyes, was standing next to him, with Nagini swallowing snake messages around him.

"Lord, Lord."

Snape knelt down on the ground with difficulty, suddenly feeling a little more grateful.

Fortunately, Aberforth's attack was severe enough. If he had escaped with only minor injuries, Voldemort might have become suspicious!

"You informed me that Harry Potter was at Hogwarts.

But now... I guess I need an explanation. "

"It's the Order of the Phoenix. Someone led them to attack Hogwarts."

"This is impossible." Voldemort said coldly, "Hogsmeade has a large number of guards. It is impossible for them to pass easily without making any noise."

"It's Dumbledore," Snape said through gritted teeth.

Voldemort bent down to him, staring into his eyes with his red eyes, "I hope you understand what you are talking about, Severus?

Dumbledore is dead. Did you forget that you did it yourself? "

"No, Master, it's another Dumbledore." Snape explained in panic, "I heard them call him Aberforth Dumbledore, the biological brother of Albus Dumbledore.

They might not need to go through Hogsmeade at all, because..."

"For what? Tell me quickly."

"Phoenix."

"You mean Phoenix?" Voldemort frowned. The last time he heard the word 'Phoenix' was at Malfoy Manor.

According to Lucius, Potter had been captured, but was rescued by a phoenix.

This time it is 80% not good news.

"Yes Master.

I saw Dumbledore's phoenix surrounding him, and the phoenix's Apparition magic is the most amazing.

They broke into the castle like this, and we had no defense at all. Amycus and Alecto were knocked unconscious by one move. I tried to resist, but it was completely useless.

Aberforth was... very powerful. "Snape said as he noticed that the red light in Voldemort's eyes became more obvious and his face became more gloomy. He immediately added: "But he is no match for the master. This subordinate can guarantee this with his life. "

"Are you sure?" Voldemort sneered.

"Very sure, Master.

I am all too familiar with Albus Dumbledore. Although Aberforth was powerful, he was not as powerful as his brother.

And his brother was no match for his master, let alone him! "

Hearing this, Voldemort had a smile on his face, and his murderous aura calmed down a lot.

But damn Dumbledore was determined to do something right with him. Even if he died, he even arranged for his own brother to be involved.

"So Potter was brought into Hogwarts by the Order of the Phoenix?" Voldemort murmured, "Can you figure out their purpose?"

"I don't know, Master." Snape said cautiously, "But there must be a special purpose, because even if they want to resist, they will not think of capturing a magic school.

And they put in powerful wards, meaning they weren't for those students, but for Hogwarts itself. "

"You're right, you're right, Severus."

Voldemort seemed to understand something. He stood on the cliff and looked at the castle. The huge transparent barrier enveloped it without any gaps.

After a few seconds he raised the Elder Wand and pointed it at the ward.

Crack!

The thick white beam hit the barrier directly and opened a hole in it, but the hole quickly healed automatically.

"It's a good barrier. I can pass it, but it's not that easy to completely break it." A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Voldemort's lips.

"With all due respect, Master," Snape said, "They seem to be stalling for time."

"You can see that." Voldemort sneered, "I know the boy's purpose very well. Dumbledore trained him well and destroyed four of my treasures.

But this fifth thing he couldn't find, even if he turned Hogwarts upside down. "

Can't find it? Then you are really overthinking it.

The Ravenclaw diadem was already in Aaron's hands, and he could destroy it with a single move of his fingers.

Snape secretly cursed, but bowed his head respectfully, pretending to be puzzled and showing his curiosity, "What is he looking for?"

"It has nothing to do with you, Severus." Voldemort warned, "What you should be thinking about is how to help me catch that boy. He is right in front of you, right in Hogwarts."

"My subordinates think this is not a bad thing." Snape said meaningfully, "Potter, the Order of the Phoenix and the others are all here, and this is an opportunity to catch all the die-hards who resist the dark forces.

Master, my advice is...just don't give them a chance to escape. "

Voldemort pondered for a moment and nodded with satisfaction, "Get up! Severus, your advice is valuable."

Snape breathed a huge sigh of relief, knowing that Voldemort would not punish him for losing Hogwarts.

"Anti-Apparition magic, I personally cast the spell to turn this barrier into their burial place."

"The master is wise."

“They want war and I give them that.

Severus, call all Death Eaters, call all forces that surrender to me.

We would like to take this opportunity to declare to the entire magical world the power of the Dark Lord. "

"As you command." Snape rolled up his sleeves again and pointed his wand at the Dark Mark on his arm.
