After Hagrid left, Professor Meg turned to look at Elwyn and Harry.
"Elwyn, Harry, can the two of you come with me? I have a few words to say to you, "she said and sighed." Remus, Sirius, can you come with me? Now that the Hogwarts is in a life-and-death situation, and you were once professors at the Hogwarts, I want to hear your opinions on the future of the school. "
"The future of the school?!" Sirius stood up and said. His voice was hoarse and sounded strange. "Mileva, do you want to close the Hogwarts?! I won't agree, Dumbledore is back … "
"Dumbledore is already dead, Sirius!"
Sirius's body froze and he became silent again.
Lupin patted his shoulder, and Harry walked to his side and whispered something to him.
Professor Meg shook his head and walked out of the ward first.
Elwyn said "see you later" to Hermione and Elaine, then followed Lupin and Sirius with Harry.
He did not take the Twin Snake Scepter. Elwyn was not worried that he would lose this important magic scepter, but he had warned not to let anyone else touch it.
He was also thinking about what to do next. Elwyn did not care whether the Hogwarts would close or not, what he needed to deal with now was the Twin Snake Scepter.
If nothing went wrong, they would have to start their escape under the pursuit of Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters.
Elwyn could not carry the Twin Snake Scepter with him, so he had to find a safe place to hide it.
This scepter was very important. If Lord Voldemort wanted to summon the Evil God, he would need its help, so he could not let him have it.
Elwyn needed an absolutely safe hiding place, preferably inside the Hogwarts …
This way, after confirming that Dumbledore could not return, they could immediately use the Twin Snake Cane to go to that world.
The corridor outside seemed empty, and the only sound was the singing of the phoenix in the distance.
No one spoke again. The five of them were deep in thought as they followed Professor Meg to Dumbledore's office.
After passing through the stone monster, everyone silently ascended the spiral staircase and entered the circular office.
It was exactly the same as when they had left a few hours ago. The silver instruments whirred on the table, puffing out smoke. Gryffindor's sword shone in the glass case, and the Sorting Hat was still on the shelf behind the table.
But Fawkes' perch was empty, and the Phoenix was still singing its dirge upon the field.
A new portrait had joined the ranks of the late principal of the Hogwarts Academy … Dumbledore was sleeping in a golden frame above the table. His half-moon glasses rested on his hooked nose, and he looked peaceful and serene.
Professor Meg glanced at his portrait, and then made a strange gesture, as if to harden his heart, before walking around the table.
She looked at Elwyn, Harry, Sirius, and Lupin one by one, her tense face full of wrinkles.
"Elwyn, Harry," she said. "I want to know what you and Professor Dumbledore did after you left the school at night."
"I want to know too." Sirius said, "Elwyn, you said that Dumbledore used that strange scepter. What did you do?"
"It has something to do with the Evil God. We found the Double Serpent Scepter and the Despicable Hylbo's brain under Azkaban." Elwyn said simply, "In order to destroy it, Dumbledore used the Double Serpent Scepter at the cost of all his magic power …"
Professor Meg and Sirius both stared at Elwyn, as if digesting this absurd experience.
"You went to Azkaban tonight?"
"The Despicable Hylbo's brain. You mean the Dark Wizard who transformed himself into a terrible monster?!"
"I really don't understand. Why would Dumbledore …"
"If you want to know more specific details, I can tell you later." Elwyn said, looking back at Sirius, Professor Meg, and Lupin calmly. "But this needs to be kept a secret. Don't tell anyone, and don't tell the Ministry of Magic."
"Okay, I got it!" Professor Meg took a deep breath and said, "Now is not the time to study this. We need to prepare with the Ministry of Magic …"
"Wait, Professor!" Harry suddenly said. "Before the people from the Ministry of Magic come, I have something to tell you. Rosmerta was cursed by the Soul Snatching Curse. She helped Malfoy and the Death Eaters, so the necklace and the poisoned mead … "
"Rosmerta?" Professor Meg asked in disbelief. Sirius also frowned.
Before they could say anything, someone knocked on the door. Sprout, Flivvy, and Professor Slughorn stepped into the room, followed by Hagrid, who was still crying. His huge body was shaking with grief.
"I heard about it. Dumbledore is dead?!" Slughorn asked impatiently. He did not participate in tonight's defense.
"Yes, Snape killed him!"
"What about his body?"
"There is no body. Because of a powerful magic item, the Double Snake Staff left by Salazar Slytherin. Its magic swallowed Professor Dumbledore's body," Elwyn said. "But he is indeed dead. There are many witnesses."
"Snape killed him in front of me." Harry said in a very low voice. "I saw Snape use the Kill Curse on him with my own eyes. The curse hit him …"
"That despicable bastard. I swear, I will tear him into pieces," Sirius said with hatred.
"Snape!" Slughorn looked extremely shocked. His face turned pale and he kept sweating. "Snape! It's him! I taught him! I thought I knew him! I never thought he would do such a thing! "
Before he could answer, a sharp voice came from high up on the wall. A black-haired, yellow-faced wizard with short bangs had just returned to his empty canvas.
"Mileva, the minister will be here in a few seconds. He just Phantom Shift from the Ministry of Magic."
"Thank you, Evra," Professor Meg said, then quickly looked at the professors.
"Before the minister arrives, I want to talk about the Hogwarts School's next step. Although Dumbledore's body has not been found, judging from the current situation, Dumbledore is indeed dead. This is absolutely true," she said quickly. She said quickly, "Personally, I don't think our school will be able to continue next year under the present circumstances. The headmaster died in the hands of one of our colleagues. This is a great stain on the history of Hogwarts School. It's horrible! "
"If Hogwarts closes its doors, it will be the greatest shame in the history of this school," Sirius said.
"We must face reality, Sirius," Professor Meg said with difficulty. "The reality is that we don't have enough power to protect the school, Voldemort …" Professor Mag said with difficulty.
The name seemed to make the temperature in the office drop rapidly. Slughorn shivered.
"I'm not afraid of Lord Voldemort. I will stay and guard Hogwarts," Sirius said, clenching his teeth. "Even if I die."
Elwyn noticed that his hands were clenched tightly. Although his voice was calm and not as irritable as before, Sirius's heart was particularly turbulent.
