Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 486 Evacuating Students

"Stop being stunned, Professor Snape!"

Sainz didn't give Snape time to update the system, "Organize the students to evacuate."

After saying this, he left the underground without caring whether he understood it or not.

While Professor McGonagall was communicating with Snape underground, he and several other professors had already gathered in the entrance hall.

"Sainz!" Professor Sprout was the first to see him.

"Hello," Sainz said to the crowd, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Please believe me, after today there will be a new day and all this will be over."

"Don't say that, Sainz," said Professor McGonagall firmly, "It's not just because of you, it's because of Hogwarts!"

She glanced at the other professors, "Hogwarts has experienced several crises before, but never has anyone touched this castle that holds so much hope. We cannot allow anyone with ill intentions to set foot on its grounds!"

Professor McGonagall's words were powerful, and the other two head teachers, Flitwick and Sprout, followed suit to say that this was beyond doubt. Although Slughorn was a little hesitant, he also said that he would stand with the school.

After Snape became the headmaster, he was no longer suitable to continue to serve as the head of Slytherin, so Slughorn, the former head of the house, was reinstated and became the head of Slytherin House for the second time.

It can be seen that Slughorn was actually a little unhappy, and his face looked a little ugly. Sainz did not blame him. The two of them did not have much friendship, but now he had to pay for Sainz's "recklessness and stubbornness", so it was normal for him to be in a bad mood.

This bald old man is a typical Slytherin. He always puts interests first in everything. No matter whether it is fame or money, he always weighs them.

But there is one thing: even though he knew Voldemort's secrets, he never had any intention of surrendering to Voldemort from beginning to end, even when Voldemort was at his most glorious.

In the original storyline, when old man Dumbledore went to find him, the old man quickly faked an accident scene. Obviously, this was not the first time he had done this. From this point of view, he had been avoiding the search of the Death Eaters for a long time, and he also admitted this himself.

In general, this person gave Sainz the impression that he was calculating, but he had integrity and did not sit on the fence when it came to his big stance.

Sainz admitted that he was not fond of this man and did not even have the intention of making close friends with him, but it did not reach the level of disgust.

When Hogwarts was surrounded, he estimated that Slughorn was in a difficult situation. He was very concerned about his reputation. If he deserted at this time, the image he had established in the wizarding world would immediately collapse.

This has nothing to do with whether Voldemort will gain the upper hand in the future.

Of course, Sainz also speculated somewhat maliciously that if it really came to a life-and-death moment, he might still be able to desert.

His thoughts did not affect his speech. "Professors, I suggest that we gather the students together and negotiate with those outside to see if they can be allowed to evacuate."

"It has been notified," said Professor Sprout. "The Head Boy and Head Girl and the Prefects are already there to guide the students."

"Where's Professor Snape?" said Professor Flitwick, who had taken off his robes and put on a dueling outfit. "Didn't you find him down there?"

"I'll be there in a minute," Sainz said. "I think he probably has other things to do."

As they were talking, there were dense footsteps coming from upstairs and downstairs, and students from the four colleges came to the lobby in distinct groups.

The Great Hall at Hogwarts is big enough for everyone to sit down and eat, and the foyer is certainly big enough for everyone to stand in with room to spare.

The weather shown on the ceiling of the foyer just happened to change from bright moon and sparse stars to dark clouds, which just matched the depressing atmosphere.

The students also knew the current situation. Some of them were terrified, some seemed to have made a decision, some were whispering and gloating, and some were looking at Sainz with resentment.

Hundreds of people stood at the foot of the stairs, and even if they were just whispering to each other, the combined noise they made was noisier than hundreds of bees gathered together.

"Silence!" Professor McGonagall walked up the stairs to the second floor and said loudly to everyone below: "Perhaps you already know that there, just outside the wall, Voldemort has assembled a group of evil dark wizards, hundreds of them, as well as other minions, werewolves, and giants!"

Her voice was solemn and sad. “But it’s even worse than that. The number of people there is still increasing! They are still increasing!

I discussed it with the other three deans, and we all agreed that it is not appropriate for you to stay in school now. You need to evacuate! The President of the Student Union..."

"Did the headmaster agree?" a student asked, "Did you get Mr. Snape's consent for this decision?"

"I'm the vice-president of the school!" Professor McGonagall glanced over sharply, "I have the right to do this when the school encounters an emergency!

Now, who has any objections?

If not, where are the Head Boy and the Prefects?"

"Professor McGonagall!" A student interrupted her again.

"What?" Professor McGonagall's voice became more stern, and she turned her head sharply towards the source of the voice.

"Mr. Longbottom? What do you want to say?"

"I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall!" Neville Longbottom's voice gradually grew louder and louder, "But, Professor, I don't want to leave, I want to stay... I want to stay, Professor!"

Professor McGonagall's eyes showed joy and appreciation, but she did not encourage such behavior, "Do you know what you are saying, Mr. Longbottom!"

"I……"

"Principal! The principal is here!" Some students shouted happily, "Principal, we are here, what should we do?"

Snape's cold eyes swept across the green. He didn't say anything, but slowly walked through the students. The students who had been trying to get close to him proudly just now became silent.

"Severus," Slughorn approached him and whispered, "what do you think of the current situation?"

Snape's tone of voice was still his usual style, always seeming to be sarcastic, "That's exactly what I was going to say."

He came to Professor McGonagall and said to the students below, "Thanks to someone... I got a tip... I just went to the gate and talked to the people outside. They gave an hour to allow anyone who wanted to leave..."

He glanced around, and this time even his eyes seemed to be filled with mockery, "...through their encirclement!"

Snape paused again, "What's interesting is that... some of you already have parents... waiting outside the wall to pick you up and leave."
