Chapter 657: The Leader Cannot Be Shaken Off, Snape's Reasonable Explanation (1/2)

Chapter 657: The leader's identity cannot be shaken off, Snape's reasonable explanation

After the voice fell, all the students looked at Aberforth in astonishment, and there was a whisper in the hall.

Dumbledore has a younger brother? But he does look like him. Does this mean that they have the power to fight against the Dark Lord again?

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

A ball of fire burned fiercely above the hall, and a crisp chirping sound came from it, inspiring the confused people.

Then Fawkes flew out, his whole body was bathed in fire, and after circling the hall twice, he landed steadily on Aberforth's shoulder.

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

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

This is not showing off, this is showing off a lot of face.

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

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

Crabbe, Goyle, you cooperate with Draco to manage the retreat. If anyone disobeys, give him a slap. Hurry up and act!"

The Slytherins stood up one after another, and no one stayed. Ravenclaw left some senior students, Hufflepuffs had relatively more, and more than half of Gryffindor stayed. Professor McGonagall had to go on stage in person to forcibly drive away those junior wizards.

The students filed out, forming a long line, and followed Draco closely.

Aaron winked at Aberforth, and reluctantly walked up to the podium under the expectant gaze 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 the defensive barriers and traps have been set up. What we have to do is to defend Hogwarts Castle and extend the battle time as much as possible.

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

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

Several deans are responsible for leading others to guard the various entrances to the school..."

While Aberforth was organizing the allocation of manpower, Aaron walked up to Hermione and Clea, "Don't stay, the two of you, hurry to evacuate the Shenming Temple."

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

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

"Okay, let's go now!"

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

"That's normal times." Aaron explained tiredly, "In war, swords are blind, and those Death Eaters will not confirm your identity at this time.

For them, those who stay are enemies, regardless of life or death."

"But..."

"No buts." Aaron said seriously, "Fleur's sister Gabrielle has been captured. If nothing unexpected happens, Voldemort will use her to threaten me."

"What?" Hermione was shocked.

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

"I just received the news yesterday, but it's okay. The backup I left behind can ensure Gabrielle's safety.

But if anything happens to you two again, I will be in trouble.

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." Claire looked at Aaron deeply, then took Hermione's hand and joined the evacuation team.

Huh!

Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, picked up Abe and sat down at a random place.

"System, open the personal panel."

[Host: Aaron Gaius]

[Magic power: main body: 12108, primary grand mage; thought body 12108, primary grand mage; total 24216 (high-level grand mage, rare in the magic world)]

[Talent: once in a lifetime (magic power increases by 4 points per day, main body increases by 2 points, thought body increases by 2 points)]

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

[Magic points: 3024]

"Three thousand? It's barely enough." Aaron said 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 red fierce light, Aaron felt more confident.

Hadesi, he has summoned the physical incarnation of Tataru Stone, and with the addition of the Samsara Bloodstone, he now has three grand magician-level guards, and his sense of security has been greatly enhanced.

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

Aaron stroked the holy dragon in his arms and raised a smile.

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

Abei thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he nodded repeatedly.

"Very anxious." Aaron rubbed the dragon's head, and then checked Abei's data panel for the first time in a long time.

[Pet: Abei]

[Race: Dragon (Holy: Unawakened)]

[Magic Power: 4676 (increases a little bit every day, with unlimited potential, the king of young dragons)]

[Innate Abilities: Flying, Dragon Breath, Healing, ??? 】

"The magic energy is 4,676, and there are still 324 points to evolve.

It's really interesting. After adding it for you, I will have exactly 200 points left.

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

"For a dragon, this speed is not slow." Abe said a little aggrievedly, "After all, the life span of a dragon is much longer than that of a human."

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

Feeling the increase in power, Abe jumped up excitedly, flapping his wings in the air to express his mood.

"Constrain yourself." Aaron reminded unhappily.

He could understand Abe's mood, but others were overwhelmed by the dark clouds of war, and your happiness somewhat destroyed the atmosphere.

Hearing the master's words, Abe obediently flew to the table and squatted, but the light in his eyes could not be concealed.

"How big can it get now?"

"About 30 meters!"

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

Abe was 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 took a breath of cold air. The ability of this evolutionary awakening really surprised him. He immediately checked Abe's data panel again.

[Pet: Abe]

[Race: Dragon (Saint: Unawakened)]

[Magic power: 5000 (increases a little bit every day, with infinite potential, it is the king of young dragons)]

[Talented abilities: flying, dragon breath, healing, weather manipulation, ??? ? ]

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

This talent is really amazing. Abe can control hurricanes, rainstorms, hail and even lightning.

However, he worked hard for several years to master the seven elemental magics. This dragon gained the same ability as soon as it evolved. It was really a bit heartbreaking.

But Abe should only be able to change the weather simply, and he probably can't do it like him to play elemental magic.

......

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

Fuck! He was really cruel. If he hadn't added the Shield Charm, he would have died!

"Severus."

A cold voice reached his ears, and Snape subconsciously looked up. Voldemort, wearing a black robe and with red eyes, was standing next to him, and Nagini was swallowing her snake around him.

"Master, Master."

Snape knelt on the ground with difficulty, and suddenly felt a little more fortunate in his heart.

Fortunately, Aberforth's attack was heavy enough. If he escaped with a minor injury, Voldemort might be suspicious!

"You informed me that Harry Potter was in Hogwarts.

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

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

"That's impossible." Voldemort said coldly, "Hogsmeade has a large number of guards. They can't pass through easily without making any noise."

"It was Dumbledore." Snape said gritting his teeth.

Voldemort leaned over to him, staring at his eyes with red eyes, "I hope you understand what you are saying, Severus?

Dumbledore is dead, you did it yourself, have you forgotten?"

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

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

"Because of what? Tell me."

"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 probably not good news.

"Yes, Master.

I saw Dumbledore's phoenix around him, and the phoenix's apparition magic is the most magical.

They broke into the castle like this. We were not prepared at all. Amycus and Alecto were knocked out by one blow. I tried to resist, but it was completely useless.

Aberforth is...very powerful." Snape said, noticing 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. I can guarantee this with my life."

"Are you sure?" Voldemort said sarcastically.

"Very sure, master.

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

And his brother is not a match for the master, let alone him!"

Hearing this, Voldemort smiled a little, and his murderous aura subsided a lot.

But the damn Dumbledore was determined to go against him. It would be fine if he died, but 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 occupying a magic school.

And they set up a powerful barrier, which means that they are not for those students, but for Hogwarts itself."

"That's right, that's 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.

A few seconds later, he raised the Elder Wand and pointed at the barrier.

Crack!

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

"Not a bad barrier, I can pass it, but it's not so easy to break it completely." Voldemort raised a bloodthirsty smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Excuse me, Master." Snape said, "They seem to be stalling for time."

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

But he can't find the fifth one, even if he turns Hogwarts upside down. "

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

The Ravenclaw crown has long been in Aaron's hands, and he can destroy it with just a flick of his finger.

Snape secretly complained, but lowered 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 consider is how to help me catch the boy. He is right in front of you, in Hogwarts."

"I don't think this is a bad thing." Snape said meaningfully, "Potter, the Order of the Phoenix and others are all here. This is an opportunity to catch all the stubborn elements who resist the dark forces.

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

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

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

"I will cast the anti-Apparition spell myself to turn this barrier into their burial place."

"Master is wise."

"They want war, I will satisfy them.

Severus, summon all the Death Eaters, summon all the forces that submit to me.

Take this opportunity to announce the power of the Dark Lord to the entire wizarding world."

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