As soon as Professor Meg finished speaking, Harry immediately said, "Can we leave now, Professor?"
"We should leave now!" Elwyn said.
None of them wanted to see Rufus Scrimgeour now and be interrogated by him for all the details.
"Yes, you can leave now!" Professor Meg said. "Hurry up."
"I'll look for you later," Sirius said. He strode to the door and opened it to wait for them.
"Oh right, Professor, it's best not to tell the Minister what Dumbledore did with us tonight. The fewer people who know about the Evil God, the better." Elwyn said. Then, he and Harry quickly walked down the spiral staircase and passed through the empty corridor.
Just like before, there was no one in the corridor, not even Filch, Dolores, or Naughty Bumpkin.
The Elegy of the Phoenix had ended, and the Hogwarts fell into a deathly silence.
This thousand-year-old castle had never been as quiet as it was now. Everything fell into the great sorrow brought about by Dumbledore's death.
"Are we going back? Back to the common room? "Harry whispered. He was very depressed.
"Let's go to the school hospital first. Hermione, Elaine, and Ron should still be waiting there," Elwyn said. "Also, I need to find a place to hide the Twin Snake Scepter."
"Hide it?" Harry said in surprise. "Are we going to hide the Magic Scepter in the Hogwarts? I remember you said it was very important … "
"It's because it's too important that we have to hide it. We can't carry the Twin Snake Scepter with us, and we can't let Lord Voldemort get it." Elwyn said. "If we're sure that Dumbledore won't come back in the future, we'll need it."
Dumbledore left the Hogwarts. If he came back, he would come back here.
In other words, by this time next year, Elwyn and the others would have to return to Hogwarts to confirm news of Dumbledore.
Therefore, hiding the Twin Serpent Staff in Hogwarts was the most appropriate choice.
If he needed to use it, he could just take it out.
Because the magic on the staff was too powerful, ordinary people could not touch the staff at all. Elwyn only needed to be wary of Lord Voldemort.
Although he could not be sure if the Lord Voldemort knew how to obtain the mark to use the Twin Serpent Staff, the Twin Serpent Staff would undoubtedly be of great help to the Lord Voldemort's evil plan.
If he wanted to create the Evil God Space or summon the monsters from the void, he would need the Twin Snake Staff.
Based on Elwyn's understanding of the Lord Voldemort, he would not let go of this power.
"Elwyn, where are you going to hide it?" Harry asked. This was also a question that Hermione, Elaine, Ron and the others wanted to know.
Five minutes later, Elwyn took the Twin Serpent Staff and led them to the third floor.
He had thought about it. Although the Hogwarts Castle was big, there were not many places to hide things.
The House of Granted Requests was no longer usable. The only safe place left was Slytherin's secret room.
The Lord Voldemort knew about it. He was the first wizard to enter the secret room after a thousand years, but he did not know the secret hidden inside the statue of Slytherin.
Elwyn planned to put the Twin Serpent Staff there, at the entrance to the secret treasure of the four leaders of Hogwarts.
Other than Harry, only the Lord Voldemort could enter that place. He would not go into the mouth of the statue to check. Elwyn was sure of this.
Unless someone told on him, the Lord Voldemort would not think of the secret hidden in the place that he thought was the snake monster's lair.
The snake monster was dead. If the Lord Voldemort returned to the Hogwarts, he would not come here again.
After putting the Twin Snake Staff next to the young Salazar Slytherin inside the statue, Elwyn made another replica.
He was going to use this replica to fool others and let them see him take the Twin Snake Staff out of the school.
"How is it? Does it look like the real Twin Snake Staff? "
In the secret room, Hermione looked at the Twin Snake Staff that Elwyn made with the Transfiguration Spell. "The appearance is the same, but I always feel that something is missing."
"It's magic. There's nothing we can do about it. But people who have not seen the real Twin Snake Staff up close will not be able to tell the difference," Elwyn said.
"I don't quite understand. I just heard from Harry about your adventure with Dumbledore in Azkaban tonight. If this staff surrounded by two snakes is really that powerful, why didn't we use it to deal with the unknowns? No matter how powerful the unknowns are, they can't be stronger than that despicable Herbo, right? " Ron asked. His face was pale. Ever since he entered the secret room and saw the huge skeleton of the snake monster, he had been like this. This place had his darkest memories.
"Because the power of the Twin Snake Staff is too powerful. If possible, I hope I will never use it," Elwyn replied.
Moreover, he had only obtained half of the imprint and mastered the basic method of using it. He could not use the Twin Snake Staff to leave magic like Salazar Slytherin.
He could use it to open up space and go to the world of the Evil God, but that should be his limit.
"Too powerful?!" Ron murmured. "Then if we completely master the Twin Snake Staff, won't we be more powerful than the unknowns?!"
"That should be the case …"
.....
When Elwyn and the others returned, although it was late, the common room was still full of people.
None of the students had slept. They were repeatedly discussing what happened tonight.
Malfoy letting the Death Eaters invade the school, the actions of D.A. and the Order of the Phoenix, the battle just now, the details of Elwyn killing Greyback, and so on. These were all big events that could be discussed for a long time, but the most discussed was the news of Dumbledore's death and the fact that the Hogwarts was about to close down.
Although the school had not officially announced it, the students' guesses were already close to the truth.
Elwyn and the others did not participate, and no one came to ask them.
Unlike the previous events, the atmosphere in the castle was particularly depressing.
This was because Dumbledore was dead. Later, someone said that they saw Fox the Phoenix fly away from the Hogwarts and leave this place forever.
The next day, Sirius told them the results of the discussion between Professor Meg and Rufus Scrimgeour last night.
Scrimgeour basically agreed with the professors' idea and held a funeral for Dumbledore in the Hogwarts a few days later.
As for the closure of the school, he did not agree. He said that he would discuss it with the board of directors. This was a little unexpected. Sirius, on the other hand, admired Scrimgeour's ideas and courage. He told Elwyn and the others that Scrimgeour was a true Auror and worthy of respect.
If he was still the head of the Ministry of Magic, he would have been scared to the ground!
However, the current situation was not something that could be solved with courage alone. Now that Dumbledore was dead, the Ministry of Magic would be next. Scrimgeour seemed to have expected this. In the end, he took away all the captured Death Eaters and Werewolves, but he was not happy at all. The Ministry of Magic did not even have enough power to guard them.
In addition, Scrimgeour also wanted to see Elwyn and Harry, but he was rejected by Professor Meg and Sirius!
That was all. For now, everything was still focused on Dumbledore's funeral.
Sirius asked about the evil god in detail and told Elwyn and the others about his experiences in the past year.
He had recruited members for the Order of the Phoenix in France, Italy, and Athens, and fought against an evil organization called the Raven's Claw together with wizards from nearby countries. There was a lot of evidence that this ancient and mysterious extremist organization was in cahoots with the Lord Voldemort. They were searching for ancient ruins everywhere, as if they were looking for something.
Sirius deduced that the clues they were looking for were related to the evil god, or to the despicable Herbo. He was looking for some kind of information.
This was because the ancient ruins that the Raven's Claw entered were all from that period.
Many of the information in the magic ruins indicated that the wizards in that area worshipped some kind of monster.
