Chapter 650 The Secret Room Was Converted Into a Shelter, and Many Professors Were Pleased (1/2)
Chapter 650 The Chamber of Secrets was converted into a shelter, and many professors were relieved
"Can we go to the shelter?" Draco asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Not yet." Aaron said, "We have to wait until after curfew. Professor Snape and several other deans will also come. You'd better be mentally prepared."
"Wait, you said Professor Snape?"
Crabbe and Goyle were stunned and seriously suspected that they had heard it wrong.
Snape is a veteran Death Eater. Whether in terms of qualifications or status, he is a level higher than their father. He actually mixed with the forces that resisted the Dark Lord.
"Didn't I tell you? Professor Snape has always been Dumbledore's man.
Including his killing Dumbledore is also part of the plan to gain the trust of the Dark Lord. At present, it seems that his undercover is very successful."
"This... is fake?" Draco couldn't believe it, but Aaron didn't need to lie to him. After all, Professor Snape and others would come after curfew.
"You have more than ten hours to digest this information.
There are snacks on the table. Eat them if you are hungry, but don't make any noise.
In addition, there are tranquilizers and soothing agents in the cabinet. One or two bottles can be provided to you for free."
The three looked at each other, walked to the cabinet silently, and each took two bottles of potions with tranquilizer labels.
At this moment, they really need this stuff, otherwise they can't calm down at all.
......
Time passed by minute by minute.
Draco and the other two kept looking at the clock on the wall, as if every second of waiting was torture for them.
Aaron was quietly studying the fusion of different elemental properties at the desk.
He signed a contract. Before completely killing Voldemort, he could only learn fusion magic, but not use it.
I thought he wouldn't waste time on this, but it was difficult to improve forbidden magic in a short period of time. It would be better to work hard on fusion magic, which would also be regarded as laying a foundation for the future.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A knock on the door suddenly sounded, and Draco and the other two immediately stood up and looked at the door in unison.
"Don't be so nervous, there are still a few minutes before curfew." Aaron rolled his eyes at them speechlessly, then opened the door.
Clea walked in openly, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw Draco and others, "They are here too, it seems that the time for the decisive battle is coming, right?"
"About the same!" Aaron couldn't deny it. With Clea's IQ, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
"Then it's time to fulfill your contract with Voldemort." Claire looked at him meaningfully, "You should be ready, right!"
"No problem."
"That's good." Claire breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you need my help?"
"Just take Hermione away before the decisive battle begins."
Claire hesitated, "Hermione can't help much, but I..."
"I know your ability, but I can't let you get involved." Aaron said seriously, "After this battle, it's time to get married. If you get involved, the Darwin family might doubt my ability.
Voldemort, I don't take him seriously. If it wasn't troublesome, I would have wanted to kill him myself."
Hiss!
The sound of sucking in cold air came from the side, and Draco and others looked at him as if he were a ghost.
"Do you know what you are talking about?" Draco asked in doubt, "That's, that's the Dark Lord!"
Aaron curled his lips in disdain, "Do you know Grindelwald?"
"Yes, but does it matter?"
"Last year, I went to Nurmengard and had a fight with that old bastard when I had no choice.
The final result was that I escaped from Nurmengard and successfully took the Phoenix away. As for Grindelwald... my last magic was enough to make him spit blood."
Hearing this, Draco's eyes were dull, and Crabbe and Goyle also stood there in a daze.
They seemed to understand why Aaron was so confident. If they could fight Grindelwald and get away unscathed, they might be even crazier than him.
"So what is your magic power now..."
"Keep it a secret." Aaron said straightforwardly.
Draco:......
"So, can you promise me?" Aaron looked at Claire and asked, "Take her to meet Vico and Lisanna, and then wait for me at home."
Claire didn't care, "I'll think about it."
"What's there to think about?"
"What if I don't agree?"
Claire's eyes flashed with a cunning, she didn't care what her family thought!
The rice has been cooked, husband and wife are one, it is absolutely natural for her to help her husband, who can gossip?
"If you don't agree..." Aaron thought for a long time, and a comforting smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Then I can only have someone send you back, there are many people who signed a contract with me!"
"You..." Claire frowned, her voice mixed with anger, "You are so cruel, I agree."
There is no way to refuse, Aaron will not let them take risks.
If they insist on staying, he will let the high-end combat forces around him force them to leave.
It's not that she has no capital to resist, but doing so will weaken her own combat power, and it is not ruled out that Aaron will do it himself, and the result will be no different.
"Hermione should have the same idea as you, please take more care."
"I know, I will convince her." Claire said unhappily.
At this time, the knock on the door sounded again, but it was much lighter than before.
"It should be them this time." Aaron raised the corner of his mouth and opened the door.
Five professors, Severus Snape, Horace Slughorn, Minerva McGonagall, Filius Flitwick, Pomona Sprout, etc., walked in.
"Why are they here?" Snape frowned at the dumbstruck Draco and the other two.
"This is part of my plan. They have signed a contract. Don't worry." Aaron explained.
"Mr. Gaius, we are here." Slughorn looked at the single dormitory and asked carefully, "Are you going to tell your plan here?"
"Of course not, please follow me."
Aaron walked to a floor and muttered in a low voice.
As the strange syllables sounded, the floor split in the middle, revealing a deep passage.
Slughorn's eyes widened, and the others stared at the entrance in shock.
Several professors were better, after all, they were experienced and had seen all kinds of storms.
Although it was a bit exaggerated for a student to dig a secret passage in his dormitory, their psychological quality could still hold up.
Draco and the other two were a little bit overwhelmed. They knew that Aaron had a shelter, but they never expected that he would build the shelter under the dormitory.
"Are the missing students in there?" Professor McGonagall's eyes twitched, and she asked in disbelief: "How did you get so many people in?"
"Is it difficult?"
"Very difficult." Professor Sprout nodded affirmatively.
If it was a secret passage or a secret room in the school, they would not be so surprised, but this is the Slytherin common room, and it is also a dormitory. It is not easy to bring people in, let alone dozens of people.
"The list provided by Professor Snape is all students who were hurt by the Carrow brothers and sisters and were unable to resist but could not escape.
I talked to them privately, offered them shelter, and signed a contract. No one would refuse." Aaron said lightly, "Fortunately, my Disillusionment Charm, Illusion, Perception, and Telepathy are all good. No one will notice if I bring them in quietly."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.
It has been almost a school year since last semester, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with using this method to protect students.
"It's amazing!" Slughorn exclaimed.
"There's something even more amazing behind the secret passage." Aaron was not modest at all. "Professor Snape, please introduce the Shenming Palace to them on the way, so that they won't make a fuss when the time comes."
Snape's face darkened. As the head of a school, he was not proud to be a tour guide.
But looking at the expectant eyes of others, he didn't refuse after all.
Everyone followed Aaron and entered the secret passage.
Snape introduced the situation at the end of the secret passage with a gloomy face. The magnificent palace converted from Slytherin's secret room had everything, including dormitories, cafeterias, classrooms, gardens, and hot springs.
He didn't hide the vault, granary, storage room, and the impregnable defense. He didn't hide the teleportation array used for evacuation, which made everyone stunned.
"It was like this when I came last time. As for now..." Snape glanced at Aaron, "I really don't know."
"It's just an extra meeting room and a few more people." Aaron said lightly, and then pushed open a door in front of him, "Here we are, welcome to my secret base."
Everyone walked into the Shenming Hall and was shocked by the scene in front of them.
Although Snape explained it very clearly to them, what they heard was far less shocking than what they saw.
"Professor, long time no see." A familiar voice sounded.
Professor McGonagall's heart trembled as she looked at the wizards coming towards her. "Wood! You are Wood, you are here too?"
"And Cedric." Professor Sprout shrugged his nose and gave Cedric a warm hug. "It's nice to see you, kid."
"Professor." Luna and Qiu Zhang smiled and waved to Professor Flitwick. "We are here to pick you up."
"Why is there no Slytherin?" Slughorn said with a strange look. "This makes me, the dean, a little embarrassed!"
"Because the two best students in Slytherin came with us." Snape said speechlessly.
"Well... it seems so!" Slughorn reacted and straightened his back proudly.
"Let's go! Everyone is waiting!" Aaron said, and then took everyone to the center of the Temple of the Gods.
"Professor McGonagall!"
"Professor Snape!"
"Professor Sprout is here too."
......
Dozens of wizards from different colleges and grades gathered around, hugging and shaking hands with these elders excitedly.
Looking at these familiar faces, several professors were also moved inexplicably, and Professor McGonagall's eyes were wet and she couldn't help crying.
"Very good, very good.
Thank you very much, Mr. Gaius." Professor McGonagall said with sincere gratitude.
She could see that these students had lived well during the time they disappeared. Everyone was well dressed and full of energy.
Aaron smiled and shrugged, then looked at the excited students, "Okay, go back to sleep, the professors still have business to do!"
These students obviously knew the importance of the matter, and walked towards the dormitory, which was the huge statue of Slytherin.
"Percy, please go and arrange dormitories for Crabbe and Goyle first, and tell them the rules of the Temple of the Gods.
This is my territory, not Hogwarts, and they are not allowed to bully classmates casually."
"Got it." Percy glanced at the two dumbfounded Slytherins, "Come with me!"
"What about me?" Draco asked.
"Of course you will go to the conference room with us. You are a key link in my plan!" Aaron smiled meaningfully.
Hearing this, Draco thought of the relationship between himself and the Elder Wand, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"Everyone, come up!"
Aaron made a gesture of invitation and invited them to the magic carpet.
The magic carpet slowly rose and arrived at the floating island in a short while.
The floating island conference room was particularly lively at this moment. Everyone who was qualified to participate in the meeting was here, including Harry Potter and his friends.
Seeing several professors come in, especially seeing Draco Malfoy and Severus Snape, the conference room instantly became quiet.
Aaron invited them to their seats, and then took Claire to sit next to the thought body.
"Ahem!" Aaron coughed, "I understand everyone's feelings very well, but please control your emotions."
"Half an hour." The thought body said, "Communication, reminiscing, exchanging information, answering questions, etc., half an hour should be enough.
If there is still something unclear after half an hour, I will answer it.
As for the formal meeting, it will be held after this."
After the voice fell, whispers sounded in the conference room, but gradually the discussion became louder and louder.
Several professors seized the opportunity to learn everything they wanted to know. Why is Sirius still alive? Why are Aberforth and the Longbottoms here? What is Dumbledore's plan? How many arrangements has Aaron made? They have too many questions to answer.
Snape accepted the apology of the members of the Order of the Phoenix expressionlessly. Although he didn't care much, he had to admit... It felt good.
Especially when Harry Potter said sorry to him, his whole mood was sublimated a lot, and his undercover career of more than ten years seemed to be perfect.
Only Draco was out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere, after all, he was a legitimate Death Eater.
It’s not like he was sitting on pins and needles, after all, his family’s actions had reached the standard of whitewashing, but he was still very uncomfortable in this meeting room full of members of the Order of the Phoenix.
If Aaron hadn’t been here to support him, he really wanted to run away immediately.
