Chapter 415: The Dark Lord is Back!

"Greetings, Hogwarts students and citizens of Magical Britain...."

The cold voice was magically enhanced, echoing across the entire area of the lake.

"Oh no!." McGonagall exclaimed with horror in her eyes.

"Don't do anything stupid," Snape warned, noticing the look in McGonagall's eyes. He pointed his wand at her for emphasis.

"Severus... you..." McGonagall looked shocked for a moment, but the gravity of the situation quickly sank in.

"We are completely surrounded!. Those masked men are everywhere!. " Professor Flitwick informed her.

"There are countless dementors up here...by Merlin, what is this?!. " Professor Batsheda Babbling was staring at the dark sky in awe. "Did they all come from Azkaban?."

"This is bad!...this is really bad?!" Mister Crouch began to yell. "And where are the aurors?!. They should be doing something."

McGonagall looked around herself.

The platforms were mostly filled with students who could barely handle themselves during defense class, and those were not going to be of much help during a situation with real danger like this one.

There were also two Aurors but McGonagall did not have too much trust in any new personnel selected by the current Minister of Magic. Her frown deepened as she realized that she couldn't even find the Aurors among the crowd, making it obvious that they were not willing to take any sort of action.

Her suspicions that the men sent by the Ministry of Magic were already compromised were now confirmed.

"I would like everyone to remain calm and listen to what I have to say." The Dark Lord's voice resonated once more all across the lake.

"We'll start with an introduction. Some of you may already know who I am, but for those who don't... I am..."

He dramatically removed the hooded cloak draped over his robes, revealing his true form.

"I am Lord Voldemort!"

To be fair, their son had only warned them about the imminent attack, not expecting them to do anything other than keep themselves safe.

"Wait for him to come back. It won't be long," Daphne interjected.

"He told you more than that, didn't he?" Lily asked, glancing at the blonde girl.

Daphne nodded. "I've already activated them. That should buy us some time."

"Activated what?" James asked.

"Hogwarts' defenses," she replied.

"And I'll tell you one more thing...." Voldemort's voice grew sharper. "Resistance is futile. There is nothing you can possibly do to—"

The Dark Lord was abruptly cut off by loud rumbling noises from the other side of the lake.

"What is going on?."

As he began to ask what was happening, several skeletons from his undead army were flung into the air.

"My Lord! Something is moving beneath the ground!" a nearby vampire warned.

"Beneath the ground?" Voldemort's sharp eyes scanned the area.

Now, he could see white objects emerging from the earth, attacking his dark forces.

"What is that?" he muttered, shifting his gaze toward the water platforms.

With the Headmaster dead, the only person who could have activated magical defenses was the Deputy Headmistress, McGonagall.

But she stood right there, next to Snape, looking as surprised as everyone else. She couldn't have done anything, or at least that was what he thought.

"Golems!" one of the Death Eaters shouted.

"White golems are emerging from the ground!" another added.

"Golems...." Voldemort repeated thoughtfully. "I can see them now. It appears that we'll face a bit of resistance after all."

The light in his crimson eyes glowed even brighter. "I suppose it would have been boring otherwise...I brought my army all the way here after all." There was a hint of amusement in his voice.
