Chapter 1837 Departure and Arrival

Text Chapter 1837: Departure and Arrival

Professor McGonagall didn't finish her sentence. Suddenly, another voice resounded throughout the auditorium, drowning her words.

The voice was high-pitched, cold, and clear, and it came from nowhere, as if it came from the wall itself. The voice, like the basilisk it once commanded, seemed to have slept there for centuries.

"I know you are preparing to resist."

There were horrific screams among the students, and some huddled together, looking around in horror for the source of the sound.

"Your efforts are useless. You are not my opponent. All resistance is stupid. I will give you the time to choose. I have respect for Hogwarts and I don't want pure-blood wizards to bleed. You can Choose to stand in line, surrender or fight against me. Those who choose to resist, I will kill you."

There was silence in the auditorium, and this silence oppressed people's eardrums. The silence was so great that it seemed that the auditorium would not be able to hold it.

"Or, you can make another wise choice. Surrender to me, kneel at the feet of the great Voldemort, I will become immortal, become the supreme god, I will lead you to create a new world, wizards will become The master of that world. And the first thing you need to do is to hand over Harry Potter and Ivan Mason. Hand over those two boys, and I will keep the school safe; hand over those two boys, and you will be rewarded. I will wait until midnight, I believe, you will make the wisest choice, surrender or resist and die, and offer your souls to me."

Silence engulfed them all again.

The students gasped in horror, everyone turned their heads, and every pair of eyes seemed to find Ivan and Harry. Everyone was staring at the two of them, struggling in their hearts.

Then, a figure stood up at the Slytherin table! It was Pansy Parkinson, screaming, throwing up her trembling arms, "There they are! Those two boys are there! Get them!"

A group of Gryffindor students stood up and blocked Ivan and Harry.

Immediately afterwards, the Hufflepuff students also stood up, and the Ravenclaw students did the same action almost at the same time. All of them turned their backs to Ivan and Harry, and they all faced Pansy.

Wands were drawn in all directions, from under the cloak and from inside the sleeve.

"Thank you, Miss Parkinson!" said Professor McGonagall clearly and simply. "He's quite right. It's time to make a choice! The last thing I want to say is that I don't want to see my students on the battlefield .Now, you can leave the auditorium with Mr. Filch first, and other students who want to leave can follow."

After a brief silence, there was the sound of benches colliding and rubbing. The Slytherins on the other side of the hall left one after another, leaving no one behind.

The four tables gradually became empty, and there was no one at the Slytherin table. There were quite a few people left at the long table of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, among which Hufflepuff had significantly more people.

As for Gryffindor, more than half of the students stayed. Professor McGonagall had to come down and roll the rolls one by one, and drove away the students who were obviously underage.

"I'm in the same grade as Ivan!" Colin Creevey yelled, even though Professor McGonagall called his name, he still refused to leave, "I'm a member of Dumbledore's Army, I want to stay and fight, I Fight for Gryffindor."

"Then you must have the strength like Ivan." Professor McGonagall said, "You heard it just now, the battle will start at midnight, and we still have a lot to do. There is no time to verify your strength one by one .”

"Neville can help me prove it, as well as Luna, Ginny, and Dean."

"That's right, we have to stay and fight." Ginny also protested loudly.

She had just quarreled with Mrs. Weasley about whether to stay or not, but to no avail. Like Professor McGonagall, Mrs. Weasley believed that Ginny was underage, and she was still a girl. There are enough people left in their family, and the girl must go home.

"I can't go, we are Dumbledore's Army!" Ginny emphasized loudly.

"It was just a teenage gang."

"A gang of teens ready to take on You-Know-Who!" said Fred.

"This is something no one else dares to do!" George added, "It's really amazing!"

"What the hell are you two thinking!" cried Mrs. Weasley angrily, glaring at the twins. "She's your sister, and she's only sixteen!"

"Age is not a problem. We have done a lot of things. We have been fighting against the dark wizard in the castle for the past few months." Ginny shouted, with tears of anger in her eyes, "I will not go back, I will To stay and fight, our whole family is here, I can't just wait there alone and know nothing..."

As she spoke, she cast a pleading look at Harry.

Since the last semester, the relationship between the two of them has heated up rapidly, and they were together during the summer vacation, but looking at Ginny, Harry shook his head, and he also thought that Ginny should leave, which made Ginny look very anger.

Harry didn't look at her, he took it for granted, he was not sure of finding the Hufflepuff treasure key, and he didn't know what was in the treasure, and he was also not sure of victory in the face of the mighty Voldemort. Even so, letting Ginny go is the wisest choice.

He thought of the scene he had just seen in the Chamber of Secrets. This was the first time he had entered Voldemort's mind in the past few months, and he could feel Voldemort's anger and his strength.

Compared with before, Voldemort is completely different now. Not only can you create those terrifying creatures like dementors, but you can also use part of the power of the double snake staff. The most important thing is that Harry can feel that Voldemort has transformed his body.

He hasn't become an evil god yet, but he is definitely not a person anymore.

Even if they were opposed, Colin, Ginny, and other underage members of the Order of the Phoenix still insisted on refusing to leave, and even said that they would leave. When the war started, they would find a way to return to the school. During the stalemate, a figure hurried into the auditorium.

Panting and running too fast, Percy looked around through his askew horn-rimmed glasses, at the crowd gathered in the auditorium, and called, "Am I late? Has it already started? I just started." I know, just..."

He stammered and couldn't go on, and just looked at Mrs. Weasley.

Mrs. Weasley's face was mixed with complex expressions, and the silence was as frozen as ice.

Although the others were still talking, their voices were getting lower and lower. Many people were surprised to see Percy who broke in suddenly. Except for the vampires who were not in the auditorium, everyone else who was going to fight was there. They thought it would be impossible. Someone else is coming.

"I'm a fool!" Percy roared suddenly, in a terrifyingly loud voice, tears welling up uncontrollably, "I'm an idiot, I'm a vain fool, I'm a..."

"An ambitious bastard who only loves the Ministry," said Fred.

"Also a hopelessly disassociated jerk," George said.

"Yes, I am, that's the kind of bastard I am!" Percy swallowed.
