In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

   Chapter 50 50. Snape

  Tonight's night sky is extraordinarily dark.

  Although Neville and the others, who were playing mahjong, didn't feel it in the bright lounge, Jon, who was a little restless after entering the rest room, always turned his eyes out of the window frequently.

   "It's time for you to draw cards, Jon, what's wrong with you?" Lavender looked at him worriedly, "Is it true that practicing spells is too hard, I think you have been unable to concentrate."

  Jon didn't speak, even if Lavender spoke, he didn't make any moves to draw cards, and kept staring out the window.

   "Even if it's going to rain, can it get so dark?"

  His breathing became much heavier than before, and upon hearing his question, Neville and the others also turned their eyes away from the game, and looked up at the pitch-black sky outside the window.

  The dark clouds seemed to completely cover the entire night sky, and no light could penetrate in. Only the occasional lightning and thunder from the other side of the sky that they could not see could make the darkness disappear for a moment.

   "It is estimated that there will be a heavy rain later."

   Neville said something in a low voice.

   And just as his voice fell, the sky, which was like a black cloth, suddenly flickered with countless light spots!

  Those light spots were all made up of red and green. At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed like a long snake, illuminating the half of the sky they could see.

  The dark clouds covering the night sky are not dark clouds at all, but hundreds of wizards in black robes riding on broomsticks (Note)!

  All kinds of dazzling spell lights shone on the tips of their staffs, and the next second, just as Neville said, a heavy rain began to fall outside the carriage.

  It just makes up this heavy rain, it is a spell that falls from the sky like countless rainwater!

   "Boom!!"

  Under the belated thunder, the entire carriage shook violently along with the loud noise. The swing was so large that it seemed to overturn the carriage to the ground!

  Screams, shouts, and cries sounded in the lounge together.

  The students were all stunned by the sudden situation. Most of them fell to the ground, the chandelier on the ceiling was shaking non-stop, and the inside of the carriage was completely in chaos.

  When Jon saw those spells falling, he pulled Neville and the others to the ground without hesitation.

  Dumbledore personally imposed protective measures on the outside of the carriage. Most of the effects of spells can be blocked, but the impact caused by the powerful impact cannot be offset by protective magic.

  There was a flurry of footsteps in the corridor outside the lounge, and Magna's anxious voice came faintly.

   "Don't panic! Don't panic! Everyone come to the restaurant! Everyone gather at the restaurant!"

  The little wizard who heard her voice quickly moved. Although this attack happened suddenly, but with the experience of the previous two times, at least the students now know what they should do in the first place.

  Jon and the others helped each other stand up from the ground, and then ran out of the lounge together.

  The carriage had been stabilized, and it was not overturned by the terrifying rain of spells, but its forward speed had also increased countless times. Normally, they don't feel any bumps at all, but now they seem to be running wildly in the pile of rocks. If Jon and the others hadn't held on to the wall of the corridor, they wouldn't be able to move forward at all.

  All the students gathered in the dining hall, and the pale-faced student president was assisting Filch, who couldn't hide his panic at all, to lighten the number of people.

  The professors assembled in front of Dumbledore's office immediately after the attack, but Dumbledore pushed open the door leading to Hagrid's driver's seat.

  He was holding a magic wand in his hand, as if he had just helped Hagrid stabilize the carriage to drive normally. The magic that originally shielded the front of the carriage from the strong wind had been completely destroyed, and the gray-white hair and beard fluttered wantonly on his face.

"This time is different from the previous two times, everyone." Dumbledore's voice was calm, and the familiar tone slightly calmed the nervousness of the professors, "They almost came out in full force, Aurors, Death Eaters, We're surrounded."

  Flitwick held his wand up in front of him with his only left arm, and his peaceful voice was like teaching students not to pronounce the f in spells as s in class.

   "Then we are going to prepare to fight out now."

  Lily had already waved her brand-new wand that had been maintained, and the worn-out broomstick landed firmly in her hand.

   McGonagall frowned. She didn't have the calmness of Flitwick, nor the strong desire to fight like Lily, but cared about the safety of the students in the carriage.

   "We haven't found the infiltrator yet, Albus, if we all leave, who will protect the children?"

  Dumbledore raised his arm, and Fox flew over lightly, looking up at the professors.

   "Go to the square and ask Kingsley and the others to come over."

  Golden red light flashed, and Fox disappeared in front of their eyes.

After all this was done, the professors left the carriage. Slughorn, Lily, McGonagall, and Flitwick stood guard in the four directions of the galloping carriage, while Dumbledore was right above the carriage, He looked up at the dark-haired wizard in black robe leading the Death Eaters and Aurors.

   Not only did he see him, but Lily, who had just ascended to the sky, also saw him.

  The next moment, a sharp roar full of hatred and hatred resounded through the entire night sky.

   "Severus Snape!!"

  Real rain started to fall.

   There was a clatter, as if someone opened a water valve in the sky and began to wash away the mud in the world.

  Lightning flashed across the night sky again, and the flickering light at that moment also illuminated Snape's pale and indifferent face.

  Lily's figure was reflected in his empty pupils, and there was no other emotion in his eyes, as if he saw a stranger who looked like a stranger.

   "Remember what the master told you." He said in a low voice that was clear enough for every Death Eater and Auror present, "Now, let's get started."

  The wizards in black robes began to lower their broomsticks and looked at the galloping carriage, swooping down like hunters aiming at their prey!

  The heavy rain poured down, and all kinds of spells shuttled through the rain curtain, shooting towards the four people guarding the carriage!

  No one targeted Lily, as if everyone had a tacit understanding and deliberately left her for Snape, who was still floating in the sky covered in a cloud of black mist.

  After Lily saw Snape, she saw no one else in her eyes, and without hesitation raised the height of the broomstick under her body, and pointed the wand in her hand at the man.

   "Ah~"

  Snape's voice was full of sarcasm, and he called out the name of the girl who used to sit with him on the grass in Spider's End, imagining the magical world.

   "Long time no see, Lily Pote!"

Note: The number of wizards has always been controversial, because the setting in the original book is very conflicting. There are very few students in Hogwarts, but there are hundreds of employees of the Ministry of Magic who went to build the Quidditch World Cup venue. , It has been working for more than half a year without affecting the normal operation of the Ministry of Magic. The World Cup venue that can accommodate 100,000 people is still full of wizards from all over the world.

   This is a loophole that cannot be skipped, although Rowling has patched it herself later.

  The setting of this book is based on the larger number of people. After all, if there are fewer people, it would be too boring to write. Looking at it, I feel that this is actually a village fighting, which is crazy.

   Then, I didn’t break the chapter, I stayed up late to write, and there may be more later, but I suggest you go to bed early and get up early to read it tomorrow morning, because maybe I fell asleep while writing.

   Just sauce!
