Hogwarts.

Snape continued walking through the corridors of Hogwarts with his suitcase calmly, as he made his way to the Slytherin dormitories, he no longer saw anyone in the hallways, imagining they were in the common room at this time.

He had no difficulty in finding the location of the Slytherin common room entrance. The door, camouflaged in the stone wall, was known only to house members and guarded by a password that changed regularly throughout the year.

As he approached the entrance, Snape stopped in front of the wall, which materialized forming two snakes crawling across it while forming a door in the middle. He looked at the door and said in a clear and confident tone, pronouncing last year's password. "Basilisk Scales."

However, nothing happened. 'It seems the password has changed, as expected...' He thought, and looked back down the corridors, seeing that no one appeared, he also did not want to wait.

'Well... since I have no choice...' He murmured, approaching the door and raising his fist, striking the wall.

*BOOM!!* The explosion from his punch cracked the wall.

'This is good, magic does not work here or I don't have a spell that can pass the magical defenses created by Salazar when he made Slytherin, but he didn't seem to create defenses against someone using brute force...' He thought internally with satisfaction as he saw the wall returning to normal, clearing its crack. 'I just have to be faster than the regeneration...' He decided with a small smile.

There were a few students inside the Slytherin common room, who were studying, all of them were first years, mostly the younger ones, because as it was their first weeks at Hogwarts, they mostly took time to pick up most of the academic routines, until really catching the pace of Hogwarts, it would take a few months. So they usually didn't even have time to go to the common room, staying to study.

"Did you see the tremor... is it over?" said a child.

"Yes, strange... but whatever, we're safe at Hogwarts." A second spoke.

"You don't think we're being attacked, do you? You-Know-Who is launching an attack..." Another boy commented with some fear.

"Why worry about that, the Dark Lord will just hunt the blood traitors, we shouldn't worry about anything." A boy spoke disdainfully.

"Shut up, I want to study here. Professor McGonagall has a very difficult subject..." said an 11-year-old girl.

"HEY, Brats, be quiet. I need to read this here." An older boy spoke, sitting on a sofa, and the children fell silent.

However, at that moment, an explosion occurred.

*BOOM!!!*

It was nothing compared to the earthquake that shook the entire hall, but it certainly seemed dangerous.

"WHAT IS THAT?!" A child was terrified.

*BOOM!!!*

Even the older student stood up, with wide eyes wondering where the explosion came from.

*BOOM!!!*

*BOOM!!!*

"It's coming from the door!!!" A child pointed towards the cracking wall.

*BOOM!!!*

"Stand behind me and prepare your wands!" The older student said, standing in front of the children as expected of the veteran.
