Chapter 330: Infiltrating and starting the war

The number of students at Hogwarts today is one-third less than before. It's not because some people have gone home early, but because of the turbulent situation, many families have arranged for their children to take a leave of absence or transfer to another school.

But even so, there are still four or five hundred teachers and students at Hogwarts.

It's not that the professors have not thought about letting the students leave by train in advance, but the damaged railway made them clearly realize the intention of the Death Eaters.

They didn't intend to let the students go!

In this case, the school had to transfer the students one after another through the door key, starting from the first grade. As for why the magic fireplace was not used, it was because it was controlled by the Ministry of Magic.

Not all students were willing to transfer. Some said they would stand with the school to resist foreign enemies together.

Some people were quite smart and saw the situation clearly. Compared with the turbulent outside world, although Hogwarts was dangerous, it might not be impossible to defend. If they were defeated in the end, it would not be too late to leave. No one knew how many escape routes this thousand-year-old castle had left.

When the time came to eight o'clock in the morning, figures arrived in the hall of the Great Hall through the portkey.

The leader was Mad-Eye Moody, including Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, the Weasleys, Sirius and other members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Harry was naturally among them.

Hermione came to the hall after Professor Flitwick had finished setting up the defensive barrier and saw them appear.

To Hermione's surprise, Sirius was injured, and even Harry had a band-aid on his face. This kind of minor skin injury should be solved with a little white fresh potion, but it has not been treated until now, which obviously has a problem.

Seeing Hermione coming, Harry didn't bother to reminisce with Ron, and immediately pulled Hermione aside, saying seriously: "Hermione, I dreamed again, it was a snake, I saw a snake, and I moved from the perspective of a snake, this is very wrong, I feel that the snake has a big problem, do you have relevant information?"

Hermione was not surprised by this, "Of course you will feel something is wrong, because the snake is the last Horcrux besides you."

"Sure enough, I knew it!" Harry, who was told, was not too surprised, and obviously had guessed it long ago.

"What's going on between you and Sirius?" Hermione asked curiously.

Harry was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "We were attacked, and I didn't expect Bellatrix to sneak into the Black mansion. I guess you can guess the rest. We fought, but we couldn't resist their large number of people, so we had to evacuate urgently. I just have a little scratch here, and Sirius is more seriously injured."

"When did it happen? Why don't you go back to school?!" Hermione handed over a white fresh potion and frowned.

"Three days ago, Sirius thought that the school was about to have a holiday, and it was not appropriate to attract the enemy." Harry was a little speechless after taking the potion. Who would have thought that they did not intend to cause trouble to the school, but they received a request for help from the school.

The two of them talked in a low voice here, and Ron watched silently from a distance. He wanted to go over several times, but he didn't know what excuse to use. He had no chance to talk to Hermione in the past week. Every time he saw her, she was in a hurry, which made his behavior of asking her to take a walk seem very unprofessional.

Harry, who had just returned, was similar. When he talked to Hermione, he pulled her aside. It turned out that this was not the case. Ron couldn't help wondering if the other party wanted to avoid him intentionally? Would it be embarrassing if he went over now?

The reality was that Hermione had no time to pay attention to Ron's thoughts, and Harry didn't know that his unintentional little action just now hurt his buddy's heart.

In the hall, the transfer of students continued, and at this time Hagrid rushed into the castle.

Seeing this, McGonagall hurriedly signaled the other party to keep his voice down.

Hagrid nodded quickly, lowered his voice immediately, and whispered in a voice that could be heard throughout the hall: "Here they come! Voldemort's army is coming! I can see them!"

Hagrid realized that all the teachers and students in the school were looking at him, which made him a little at a loss. He looked at McGonagall, "Am I too loud?"

McGonagall's mouth twitched, and she ignored Hagrid, but looked at everyone present and said loudly: "Everything is going according to plan. Students who want to evacuate, please continue to follow Madam Pince's command. The rest of the professors, please follow me to activate the castle defense array!"

As McGonagall spoke, the professors immediately began to act.

Hermione noticed Malfoy in the crowd at this time. It was not that she went to see him specifically, but because his behavior was too abnormal. He looked at her from time to time, and looked anxious and hesitant, which naturally attracted Hermione's attention.

She felt the other person's heart a little bit, which was regret, anxiety and worry.

This strange situation made Hermione walk over.

"Draco, what's wrong with you?"

Yes, Hermione's name for him has changed from Malfoy to Draco, which is a sign of becoming friends.

"No, it's okay, Hermione, I'm just a little worried..." Malfoy forced a smile.

"You're lying, Draco, I can sense a person's heart!" Hermione narrowed her eyes slightly, she could clearly feel the other party's entanglement, and at this moment she was hesitating whether to use Legilimency.

"What's wrong?"

Harry also came over at this time. Since Malfoy helped him deal with the dragon last year, his attitude towards Malfoy has changed, although that kind of help has a purpose.

Hermione didn't speak, she was waiting for Malfoy's choice. If he continued to conceal it, she would directly read the other party's memory.

It may sound a bit oversensitive and fussy, but Hermione knew that Draco's father was a Death Eater. At this time, he didn't take the child back. Hermione didn't know whether he was betting on both sides or planning to plant an insider.

The entanglement did not last too long. Malfoy clenched his fist and bowed his head to make a choice, "They used my mother to force me to repair a disappearing cabinet in the utility room of the Room of Requirement, and the other disappearing cabinet is in Borgin and Burke's in Knockturn Alley. They plan to use this method to sneak into the castle..."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Hermione nervously, wondering how the other party would view him like this.

As for Harry next to him, he had already run to call for help in shock.

That's the disappearing cabinet. You can go in there and out here!

Hermione looked at the other party and nodded, "At least you didn't hide it to the end."

After saying that, she looked at Sirius and the others who were running towards this side. Without her saying anything, the few people had already pulled together. Hermione raised her hand and grabbed Harry, and the fire engulfed them in an instant.

Before leaving, Hermione said, "We will try to rescue your mother, I hope she is not a Death Eater."

Huh~!

The flames illuminated the darkness, and when the few people appeared again, they were already in the utility room inside the Room of Requirement. This time they did not pass through the portal, but teleported directly inside.

It was still the huge space where the debris piled up like a mountain.

As soon as the few people appeared, they found the disappearing cabinet mentioned by Malfoy not far away.

"Smash to pieces!"

Moody raised his wand and blew up the disappearing cabinet.

"Very good! It seems we are one step ahead." Sirius smiled with satisfaction.

However, Hermione stepped forward and put the wand to her mouth, blowing out a piece of golden powder. In the powder, everyone saw the scene here not long ago. A total of six people walked out of the disappearing cabinet and then left the Room of Requirement directly.

Sirius's smile froze on his face. There was no need to say more at this moment. Everyone understood that they were late and the enemy had sneaked in.

"Damn it! We have to go out and inform the others!"

Hermione's mind was working very fast at this time. Her eyes lit up and she thought of something. She hurriedly said, "Let's go! I know where they are!"

The fire engulfed everyone again. When they reappeared, they were already in the school infirmary, to be precise, next to Dumbledore's bed.

As soon as they appeared, they saw Madam Pomfrey, who was like a madman, fighting against six Death Eaters alone.

"Ahahahaha, come on!"

The laughter was even more exaggerated than that of Bellatrix on the opposite side.

The appearance of Hermione and others made both sides pause, and then several wands were raised at the same time.

"Avada Kedavra!"
