Outside of Hogwarts.

"Eye!"

Haigrid was tall and strong.

A single axe blow cleaved the egg-shaped, pitch-black barrier that enveloped the entire Hogwarts.

It's like cutting into supple rubber.

The sharp axe slid across it without leaving a mark.

"hateful!"

Hagrid, grimacing, gripped his axe and stared anxiously at the barrier before him, sweat pouring down his back.

"Can't you see you're wasting your energy? Can't you just stay still for even a second?"

A drawn-out voice sounded from behind.

Hagrid turned around and met Lucius Malfoy's annoying face.

They came together.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ]

Also present were Minister Fudge, several Aurors, and a Daily Prophet reporter named MacArthur.

And Dobby, Lucius's house-elf.

They came to capture Hagrid.

Because Hagrid was identified as the "culprit" when the Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago.

Although there is no evidence to suggest that Hagrid was involved in the current attacks.

That's how efficient the Ministry of Magic is.

But by this time, it was clear that Minister Fouché had completely regretted his actions.

They saw only a huge shadow, like vines, enveloping Hogwarts.

Then, from top to bottom.

Hogwarts was completely swallowed up by this dark barrier.

—Could it be a Death Eater attack?

Everyone present thought the same thing.

However, no one spoke up.

After all, the era of peace has arrived, hasn't it?

Fudge: "Headmaster Dumbledore is inside... What could possibly happen to him? He'll be fine!"

"Yes! Perhaps all of this was within Headmaster Dumbledore's expectations! He did this precisely to lure the snakes out of their hole and then capture them all in one fell swoop!"

"Hmm."

Lucius responded with a snort, neither confirming nor denying.

As he gazed at the eerie barrier, a name surfaced in his mind—[Mr. Lamp].

Or rather, Ethan Vincent.

The Chosen of Khorne, who disguised himself as a freshman to enroll in school, was actually the leader of a certain evil organization and possessed the blood of both Satan and Merlin!

A dark glint flashed in Lucius's eyes as he tightened his grip on the snake-headed cane.

He was absolutely certain.

The one who opened the locked room and the mastermind behind all of this is Ethan Vincent!

"Is this a declaration of war against Dumbledore? That's bold, or rather, somewhat reckless..."

Lucius muttered almost imperceptibly.

"Although I hate to admit it, that old geezer does have some strength. He's more than capable of suppressing this attack."

"Right now, he's probably fighting Ethan."

"Damn, letting someone catch us with something so early makes us really suspicious of Ethan's motives..."

Also, has the ground been shaking since just now?

Lucius frowned slightly.

I didn't see the terrified look on Dobby's face beside me.

"Look at the barrier!"

The reporter suddenly shouted and started snapping photos, starting from the top.

Like the curtain rising on a stage, the pitch-black barrier began to slowly disappear.

Everyone: !!

Hagrid, Minister Fudge, Lucius, and the Aurors all held their breath, watching nervously as the school reappeared.

From the outside, they seem to be no different.

Hu Fuji let out a long sigh and smiled at the others:

"I knew it! How could the great Albus Dumbledore let evil succeed!"

Lucius didn't speak, but just shook his head silently.

"Yay!"

Hagrid shouted even louder.

He gleefully brandished the axe, nearly chopping off Minister Fudge's head.

Only the little elf Dobby keenly sensed something.

Those round eyes widened even more.

Yes, yes, it came for a second.

A flash of golden light!

"brush!"

A field of golden, plump sunflowers, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, sprouted one after another from under their feet!

They clustered around the gates of Hogwarts, fluttering in the wind.

It radiated a dazzling golden light in the pitch-black night!

"W-What is this?!"

Minister Fouché cried out in terror, too afraid to move, lest he trigger some kind of magic.

These sunflowers look very sunny and upright.

However, for some reason...

It seemed so eerie in the deathly stillness of the evening breeze.

Those black flower-shaped plates looked like the eyes of demons.

They were swaying and staring at them.

Fudge: "This...this is also part of Dumbledore's plan, isn't it?"

There has been no response from the others.

A voice as loud as thunder boomed from the castle!

"—I am Mr. Lamp."

"Hereinafter, we pay tribute to Harry Potter, the savior, and to the Beacon Society to which he belonged."

"It made me change my plan to destroy Hogwarts."

"The Enlightenment Club is truly remarkable."

"The next time we meet, things won't be so gentle."

"Well then, have a wonderful day, everyone."

The words fell.

Those golden sunflowers blazed under the thick night sky.

It resembles some kind of sacrifice, some kind of ancient ritual.

Orange-red flames swept over the petals, scorching and shrinking the blooming petals.

However, no thick smoke was emitted.

It doesn't hurt anyone.

It burns quietly under the starry night sky.

Everyone is stupid.

I stood there, stunned, unable to believe what I had just heard.

First is [Mr. Lamp].

Instead of Principal Dumbledore?

Why is it this "Mr. Lamp" who is talking to them?

And what is the Enlightenment Lamp Society?

It sounds like it played a significant role?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

Minister Fouché began to tremble, a chilling terror creeping across his deathly pale face.

"The greatest white wizard of this century, the esteemed Headmaster Dumbledore... How is this possible...?!"

I don't know why.

A name jumped into Minister Fudge's mind—Ethan Vincent.

That eccentric little painter who repeatedly made it into the newspapers.

But he is Mr. Lamp—no, no, he's only a second-year student!!

Minister Fudge's mind was in a daze, and he subconsciously looked at Lucius.

But the latter was so shocked that he was petrified!

It was as if it had been subjected to some violent impact.

Lucius, who was usually arrogant and haughty, was now wide-eyed, mouth agape, and frozen in place.

This appearance actually looks somewhat comical.

Two or three seconds passed before he suddenly took a deep breath!

Looking at Hogwarts, a deep sense of awe and apprehension appeared in his eyes.

Ok?

Awe?

Fudge was taken aback and looked closely.

Lucius's face remained expressionless.

However, I don't know why.

It looks even more arrogant now.

It's like finding out you've won a hundred million Galleons.

at this time.

Lucius was thinking:

I was too stupid.

How dare they question the plans of "Mr. Lamp"—the all-knowing Ethan Vincent!

Perhaps there's something fishy going on? Was it tacitly approved by Dumbledore?

Even better!

They have even more powerful backers now!

They are allies of justice!

I just don't know why Ethan would want to make something so big.

The pursuit of art is just a facade!

There must be a bigger plan behind this.

Lucius was so certain of it.

He couldn't help but murmur with emotion:

"Indeed, I, a mere mortal, am too dull and short-sighted to comprehend Lord Ethan's profound wisdom..."

If it weren't for Minister Fauci's presence...

Lucius was about to rush in, kneel down, and hug Ethan's leg.

"I've heard that Ethan doesn't have a son yet. I wonder if I'll ever have the honor of being Ethan's son..."

Dobby: ? ? ?

They were even more terrified.

Only MacArthur's reporter was so excited he felt like he could fly.

Just then.

Hagrid suddenly rushed out and swept into Hogwarts like a whirlwind.

Then, he let out a heart-wrenching roar of rage:

"Not one by one!"

!!!

9

Everyone was startled.

Minister Fudge and Lucius exchanged a glance and gritted their teeth.

Under the protection of the Aurors, they entered through the gate.

The first thing that catches the eye is the cracked floor!

It was as if the foundation had been blown up.

Thick cracks, about the thickness of a finger, ran across the corridor.

It's unimaginable what a terrible state the underground classroom must be in.

then.

Those were the students, lying haphazardly in a row.

It seemed as if it was desperately trying to escape through the door.

But at the last moment, it was swallowed by darkness.

The students closest to the door had even reached out their hands.

The overwhelming despair suddenly took everyone's breath away.

It would be better to have a Death Eater attack.

Fortunately.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that they had simply fainted.

Furthermore, it seemed as if an invisible force was protecting them, and they were not injured.

not dead!

Minister Fouché almost burst into tears of joy.

He's only one death curse away from stepping down!

In deathly silence.

All that could be heard was the pattering of everyone's footsteps.

It felt like I had entered the underworld.

The ubiquitous "household structures" are a shocking sight.

They even saw the unconscious, famous wizard, Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart.

At this moment, it's like an octopus with its bones removed.

He lay limply on the ground.

A strange smile played on his face.

Minister Fouché: "...Did you all see that? They're practically blatantly provoking him! Why aren't you grabbing him right now!"

Aurors:

?

I called "Mr. Lamp," is that true?

...I've never heard of this "Mr. Lamp" before. Where did he come from?

"This devil must have been lying in wait!"

"They want to wait until everyone has forgotten the danger, then suddenly appear, shatter the peace, and drag the world into an even more painful hell!"

"Hiss—so shrewd and patient, this Mr. Lamp is simply terrifying!"

"He has the air of a Dark Lord..."

Upon hearing this, Lucius, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

The Malfoys are safe now.

I wonder if 10,000 Galleons could buy Ethan's sonship?

Just then.

A figure flashed out.

It's the panting savior, Harry Potter!

A fiery red phoenix was flying in mid-air.

Upon seeing Hagrid and the others, Harry's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly:

"I saw Mr. Lamp! He blew up the entire underground of Hogwarts!!"

Fudge was shocked: "What?! You saw Mr. Lamp?! Quick, tell me what kind of person he is!"

Harry pondered for a moment.

All the memories from just now flooded my mind.

Then, he said with certainty:

"He's not human."
