Chapter 306 The storm is coming
With only one day left before the end-of-year exams, professors specifically told students to return to the lounge early in the evening and not to wander around outside.
The Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Requirement has been repaired, and Gloria did it herself.
Just wait until after the evening curfew, Crabbe and Goyle will go there and inform the Death Eaters that they can take action.
Half an hour before curfew, Gloria stood in front of the Vanishing Cabinet.
Turning around, Crabbe and Goyle, who had become much thinner, were standing there. Perhaps they were too nervous, and their hands holding the wands were shaking.
"Stay calm," she said. "Remember to act happy. We've done so much preparation and we all want to see a good result."
The two men nodded timidly with fear in their eyes.
She checked the time, "Enter the Vanishing Cabinet in ten minutes after curfew. Remember, Headmaster Dumbledore is in the Astronomy Tower. Just say you met him tonight and that the Headmaster is going to the Astronomy Tower to look at the stars."
The two of them just kept nodding.
After finishing all this, Gloria went back to the common room. It was time to let the Slytherin students stay in the secret room. Even if they were not members of the club, there was no time to distinguish them at this moment.
In the Gryffindor dormitory on the other side.
Harry lay on the bed, thinking about what Dumbledore had told him. There were seven Horcruxes, including the soul of the mansion wand itself. Four of them had been found, leaving two more to go.
A Hufflepuff gold cup, currently hidden in an unknown location.
One is the snake beside Voldemort. No wonder he saw what happened from the snake’s perspective in his dream last year. It turns out that living things can also become Horcruxes.
At this moment, he really wanted to enter Voldemort's mind and see where the Hufflepuff cup was, but he couldn't do it on his own initiative.
His thoughts gradually drifted away, and he remembered that the professors had emphasized that he must return to the lounge early.
After much thought, he picked up the Marauder's Map.
Ever since he learned about the strangeness of Crabbe and Goyle, he wanted to find out something, but Dobby always said that he didn't hear any useful conversations, and Gloria and the headmaster said that everything was under control.
There must be something being hidden from him!
Opening the Marauder's Map, he soon saw the names of the four major groups gathered in the lounges of various colleges. He began to look for the name of Headmaster Dumbledore and after a while found him in the Astronomy Tower.
Looking elsewhere, I found three professors heading to three different colleges.
As for Slytherin, Gloria and Draco's names had just left the common room, followed by a large group of names.
What is this doing?
I saw that group of names going straight towards the secret room, and as each name entered, their names disappeared from the map.
The secret room was not on the map originally.
Soon after, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students walked out of the common room, heading towards the Chamber of Secrets.
Harry had carefully noted the names of the Slytherin students to make sure that Crabbe and Goyle were not among them.
Thinking of this, he quickly took out his invisibility cloak because Professor McGonagall was about to arrive in the common room.
Sure enough, not long after, Professor McGonagall arrived.
"Everyone be quiet and listen to me!" She said with a frown, and the lounge gradually became quiet.
"Every student, follow me. You will stay in one place tonight. No one is allowed to fall behind. Where are the prefects? Keep an eye on every student. No matter which grade they are!"
Hermione and Ron stood up, not knowing why.
Professor McGonagall said in a very serious tone: "Go to each dormitory and see if anyone has not come out yet. Tell me when you are sure of the number of people."
The two of them hurried to search the dormitories room by room.
Harry tucked the Invisibility Cloak into his school robes. Ginny grabbed his arm worriedly. "Something's wrong."
Judging from the situation, something important must have happened in the school.
"I'll go over to Ron, you watch here." Harry decided to go out alone and let Ginny and the others follow Professor McGonagall to the safe Chamber of Secrets.
About five minutes later, Hermione and Ron came out.
Only after confirming the number of people was correct did Professor McGonagall lead the way.
Although everyone was chattering together, no one asked the professor. Just by looking at her expression, one could tell that the most important thing to do now was to keep up.
Harry walked behind Ron, using the excuse of helping him keep an eye on the other students. When they were near the Chamber of Secrets, he quietly took out his Invisibility Cloak and put it on, then left the team.
Here, Professor McGonagall led the students to the door of the Chamber of Secrets.
“It’s all here,” she said.
Gloria nodded. "Everyone go in. Gryffindor is the only one left among the three houses."
Hermione was curious, looking back to see if the students had caught up, and asked her, "What's going on, Leah?"
"There's a little trouble, and we need the students to stay in a safe place." Gloria said, "Go in... Do you see Harry?"
Hermione nodded, "I'm helping Ron. I should be at the back of the line keeping an eye on the other students."
Gloria glanced around and didn't see anyone, but time was running out. "I'll watch over you, you go in first."
"Miss Granger." Professor McGonagall happened to call her at this moment, and Hermione had no choice but to go over first.
After everyone had gone in, Gloria spoke a complicated snake language to the door of the secret room, which would have been difficult to imitate even if someone tried.
As for Harry...she knew that he didn't go in, and he must have put on his invisibility cloak and gone somewhere.
Professor McGonagall drew her wand and said, "I'll wait here. When the time is right, remember to notify us."
"Well, I'll go check out the astronomy tower."
The professors had to stay in the castle first, waiting for Crabbe and Goyle to lead all the Death Eaters to the Astronomy Tower.
Inside the room where you need everything——
The Vanishing Cabinet opened with a click, and the two leading Death Eaters looked around. The room really looked like a pile of junk.
Nearly seven or eight more Death Eaters came out from behind. This time they were wearing black robes and no masks.
Crabbe and Goyle were at the back, clenching their hands to stop themselves from shaking.
"It took you a whole school year to repair the cabinet, and the master is very unhappy." Amycus Carlo cast a sinister look at the two students at the back.
When they heard Voldemort's name, Crabbe and Goyle began to tremble all over, like two shaking skeletons.
"Can we trust Snape's words?" a Death Eater muttered.
Alecto Carrow's fierce gaze immediately pierced the Death Eater who was speaking, "Even if Snape is lying, we have to verify it. This is the master's order!"
No Death Eater dared to speak again. Snape reported on the spot that Dumbledore was poisoned and there was no antidote, so he had to rely on the potion he brewed to survive.
When the Dark Lord learned of this, he immediately added another task to the mission of destroying Hogwarts - killing Dumbledore.
This is an extremely important task. Whoever can complete it will receive unimaginable rewards.
Bellatrix wanted to come, but after she was hit by a spell cast by Gloria, her temper became even worse, and her remaining beauty was worn away, and her face was completely ruined.
She hated Gloria Slytherin so much for this and cursed loudly all day long. In such an unstable condition, she certainly couldn't participate in this mission.
However, the other Death Eaters were confused. Since Dumbledore was so weak now, why didn't the master do it himself?
The door of the house was opened, Crabbe and Goyle led the way, and the people behind kept a distance from them to deal with emergencies in time.
