Chapter 448: Preparation for War, Destroying Horcruxes

"Oh, by the way, Professor Snape, Aiden asked me to give you a message. The mission is over." Edmund turned and looked at Snape.

"What?" Professor McGonagall came over puzzled and grabbed Edmund's shoulders.

"Professor McGonagall, calm down. Professor Snape is a spy we sent into the enemy's territory. He is responsible for protecting the peace of Hogwarts after the Death Eaters occupied England. Judging from the results, he has done a good job, hasn't he?" Edmund shrugged.

"No, I have to go back, Dark Lord..." Snape was rudely interrupted by Edmund before he could finish his words.

"Professor, we have reached the point where the real battle is revealed. What we need now is to gather our forces, not to foolishly send people to die. Do you understand?"

After Edmund's experience in the last Egyptian Wizarding War, he now possessed the aura of a leader, and for a moment he silenced Snape.

Professor McGonagall came out to smooth things over. "Well, I guess you guys came back for a reason. What else can we do for you?"

"We need time, Professor," Harry replied.

"Oh, of course, go do what you should do, and leave the castle to us!" Professor McGonagall nodded and glanced at Filch.

"Mr. Filch, since you are here, please take these Slytherin students to the cellar."

"Of course, ma'am." Filch bowed, drew out his wand and waved it, and all the Slytherin students turned around in unison.

"You can actually use magic!" Pansy Parkinson said in disbelief.

"For you, of course." Filch smiled.

Outside the Hogwarts school, Senior Sister Tom also led people to surround the entire Hogwarts. She raised her hands and brushed her hair, and her blood-red snake eyes slightly released fluctuations of magic.

The tide of chaos surged up from the deep, carrying black, dirty, hot, and sticky liquid, and began to hit the boundary between illusion and reality, slowly infiltrating into the present world. At the same time, the will of Senior Sister Tom also entered the sea of ​​consciousness of the Hogwarts students in such a shock.

"I know that many people intend to resist, and some even think it is wise, but it is extremely stupid. Hand over Harry Potter, no one will be hurt, and this school will be safe."

The tide of chaos receded, and the dark space in Hogwarts returned to normal. Many young wizards had become frightened, and at this time, Harry stood up.

"Everyone, this is the moment when Voldemort is closest to death. If we miss this opportunity, we will have no chance to defeat him again!"

The magic of love emanating from Harry's determined gaze and golden pupils dispelled the haze in everyone's hearts. Many wizards picked up their wands again and followed Harry's footsteps.

"I also have good news for you. We have brought about a million transformed wizards from Egypt. They will be here soon, so we only need to resist Voldemort for two hours." Edmund raised his right hand, and the power of anti-entropy was projected into reality as if by his own arm.

A crystal-like mirror was showing the scene of the battle between Europe and the remnants of the Death Eaters. The Death Eaters were beaten back step by step. After all, the number of people was seriously unequal, with dozens of transformed wizards on average for every Death Eater. The whole scene was more like a unilateral hunt by Egypt than a battle.

"Okay." Professor McGonagall clenched her fists and walked towards the gate of Hogwarts with several other professors.

"Professor, do you really allow us to blow it up?" Neville asked excitedly.

"Of course, we have to cut off all possible entrances, don't we?" Professor McGonagall winked at Neville.

"But how do we destroy it?" Neville scratched his head.

"Why don't you ask Mr. Finnigan? I remember he has a talent for fireworks." Professor McGonagall waved her hand and sent the two away.

Professor Flitwick came up and said, "We can't keep You-Know-Who at bay forever, you know."

"But we can hold him back. And Filius, you should call her Voldemort. Will she not come to kill you if you avoid her name?" Professor McGonagall scolded.

Then, she turned around and cast a spell to summon the stone pillars of Hogwarts behind her. The stone statues and armor that had been placed here by the founders during the war came to life and jumped down from the wall. The dome of the entire castle was smashed, and a giant metal dragon crawled out of it, roaring at the sky.

"What? There's such a thing in Ravenclaw. Is Ms. Rowena the wild type?"

Professor Flitwick was dumbfounded. He didn't know which unscrupulous founder had buried such a dangerous alchemical creation on Ravenclaw.

Professor McGonagall didn't pay attention to this. She said to Edmund beside her with some excitement, "I have wanted to use this spell for a long time."

"Indeed, this is a rare opportunity." Edmund smiled apologetically.

Then, the four deans and Edmund laid down protective spells together.

"Super armor protects the body, impregnable, and repels the enemy..."

Silver threads connected the outside of Hogwarts and continued to extend in the air until a protective shield was formed. The transparent shield firmly protected the entire Hogwarts. Judging from its solidity, the strength of the professors of Hogwarts should not be underestimated.

Inside the Hogwarts castle, Harry, Hermione and Ron found an abandoned bathroom. They placed the golden cup on the ground and took out the basilisk fangs that Ethan had given them.

"Together?" Harry turned to look at his two companions.

"Of course." Hermione held out her hand, and Ron hurriedly followed.

The three of them grabbed the fang together and stabbed it hard at the golden cup on the ground. The protective magic attached to the Horcrux was powerless against the more powerful black magic - the basilisk's fang.

The fangs easily pierced the protective layer, then pierced the outer shell of the golden cup, and finally the venom dripped onto the soul of Senior Sister Tom inside the golden cup.

Hiss, hiss, hiss——!

A sound like a violent reaction of chemical compounds rang out from the void, and a painful roar echoed all around. Harry and the other two covered their ears tightly, but this roar from the soul could not be resisted by physical means.

The sharp sound seemed to pierce their souls, and black magic leaked out from the golden cup, causing all the water in the bathroom to explode.

The water was condensed by the magic power to form a huge skull, which opened its big mouth and bit the three people. However, perhaps it was the protection of a certain bathroom owner, the skull ran out of magic power just before it touched the three people, and finally turned into a water ball and wet them.

"Oh, this is terrible." Ron shook off the water stains on his body.

"Apart from the snake beside Voldemort, we still have one last Horcrux left." Hermione looked at Harry and smiled.

"Yes, there is only one left." A gloomy voice sounded, and Snape stood behind them without them knowing.
