Ch. 569Reinforcements Arrive
Sean and Dumbledore’s plan to repel Voldemort’s forces unfolded as Sean summoned reinforcements to Hogwarts. The arrivals overwhelmed several enemy groups, and Diana’s band of former Grindelwald admirers prepared to join the battle.
- Sean used the Imperius Curse to turn some of Voldemort’s Death Eaters and Werewolves against their former allies, but Barty Crouch Jr. exposed the control and ordered the attackers killed.
- Sean sealed Hogwarts after Lupin suggested retreating, then revealed that he and Dumbledore had arranged reinforcements.
- Scrimgeour led British Ministry of Magic Aurors through the first pillar of light and charged the Death Eaters.
- The German Giant Tribe arrived through the second pillar and drove Voldemort’s Giants and Trolls into disarray, while Laufey led the Frost Giants from the third pillar against the Acromantulas.
- Diana and about twenty former admirers of Grindelwald emerged from the fourth pillar, and Diana attacked Barty Crouch Jr. with dark green lightning.
