The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

The two hooded men were still struggling and screaming on the ground.

But at this time, everyone's attention was focused on the approaching footsteps below.

Neville was the first to react, making wild tactical moves and ordering everyone to return to their positions and hide, while he stood on the steps with his wand raised high, staring down.

As the footsteps got closer, Neville felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, and the tension was slowly seeping into every fiber of his flesh, causing his muscles to become more and more tense.

How terrifying would it be to be able to subdue those two hooded men with one blow?

If they are truly enemies, can they really fight them?

All this put great pressure on Neville.

But he still chose to stay because he had a suspicion that he wanted to confirm.

Finally, a dozen black shadows slowly appeared from under the stairs.

Neville was almost tempted to attack again.

But the next moment, when he really saw the appearance of the person coming, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and gestured to Ron and others to stop the attack.

Because the dozen or so people who appeared were all wearing Ravenclaw uniforms.

There were even a few familiar faces that Neville had seen at DA army rallies.

"Arthur, it turns out it's you!"

Neville walked out of the shadows with Ron and others, and greeted the leading Ravenclaw with a smile.

But upon hearing this, the man named Arthur didn't have the slightest smile on his face.

His eyes wandered around Neville and others, and finally fell on Ron's face, and said coldly:

"I just heard someone saying that we Ravenclaws are cowards?"

Ron's expression froze when he heard this. He wanted to refute but couldn't say anything. He could only lower his head in dissatisfaction.

Because he had discovered that although there were not many Ravenclaws on the opposite side, many of them had blood stains and traces of injuries and bandages.

This means that they obviously joined the battle to protect Hogwarts earlier than the Gryffindors, and have been fighting for a long time.

If we really want to count, they themselves are the late cowards.

"In this situation, we are all comrades-in-arms and one of our own, so please stop arguing. Let me tell you, let's deal with these two hooded men first!"

Neville also stood up. He stood between Arthur and Ron and persuaded them with a smile.

But his smile was a little forced.

Because Ron and Arthur have a grudge.

As early as when the DA Army was first established, the two of them would fight every now and then, let alone later.

As for the reason, Neville felt that it was probably because Arthur's name was exactly the same as Ron's father, and Arthur himself was rather arrogant.

Fortunately, Arthur also knew the priority of the matter. Following Neville's persuasion, he just glared at Ron for the last time, and then walked towards the two hooded men.

This made Neville very relieved.

The other Gryffindors scratched their heads and stepped forward to help.

It is not an easy task to control these two hooded men according to the method taught by the DA army. If there are more people, it will be easier and more convenient.

But what surprised them was that in the face of their help, Arthur, the leader of Ravenclaw, just waved his hand.

Then everyone saw that the two senior Ravenclaw boys behind Arthur casually took out their wands and pointed at the hooded man.

"Pfft-"

Two more iron drills appeared out of thin air and violently penetrated the hooded people's brains.

Seeing this, almost everyone on the Gryffindor side froze, with disbelief written all over their faces.

Just like Slytherin is a bunch of petty Death Eaters, Hufflepuff is a bunch of losers, and Gryffindor is a bunch of simple-minded fools.

Ravenclaw naturally has its own derogatory nickname among the other three major houses, and that is nerd.

But such a group of nerds actually killed two people in front of them without blinking an eye!

What kind of violation is this?

Only wizards like Neville, who were born in traditional pure-blood families, could barely maintain their composure throughout the scene.

Because only they have understood the true image of Ravenclaw through family education.

Ravenclaws are never as harmless as they appear.

You must know that the Death Eaters back then were not all made up of Slytherins.

A large number of Death Eaters were Ravenclaws.

Moreover, these Ravenclaws occupy a very high position within the Death Eater organization, and their methods are also very cruel.

Their extraordinary intelligence gives them greater power, and also makes them more susceptible to the truth of the world, making them more rational and indifferent.

Without reasonable guidance, they will become the most terrifying demons!

On the other side, looking at the reactions of Gryffindor and others, Arthur curled his lips and said:

"Don't you still want to leave them to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement for trial? Please, what is the value of such garbage living? Anyway, they will be dead when they are tried, so it is better to kill them directly. It can also save some oxygen and food.”

Arthur's words were full of contempt for everyone in Gryffindor, but this time Ron was not angry. He just said in a complicated tone:

"But private executions are illegal. Aren't you afraid of being held accountable and affecting your future?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire stairwell instantly became solemn.

Ravenclaw stared at the Gryffindors expressionlessly. After a long time, the two Ravenclaws behind Arthur who had just killed the hooded man snorted coldly:

"Future? Who cares about that kind of thing?!"

Ron and even the rest of the Gryffindors were speechless and choked by such a rebuke.

How can anyone in this world not care about their own future?

But looking at the blood on the Ravenclaws and the straps they were tied with, Ron quickly showed a thoughtful expression on his face.

He thought of Wade who had just died in the battle, and Lani and Joseph who were tortured.

Presumably these Ravenclaws also witnessed the death of their companions, right?

Guyuan

That's why they are so angry.

"Stop talking nonsense, Ron, and Neville. You Gryffindors came out too late, and the battle has already started. Now, let me explain to you the current situation."

Arthur stopped the two Ravenclaws from wanting to continue talking and stood up to explain.

Upon hearing this, Neville and the other Gryffindors also stood up straight.

"The enemies we have to face tonight are all wizards from France. Although it is not clear how this group of people sneaked into Hogwarts, there is no doubt that each of them has abilities comparable to Aurors, even top Aurors. Luo’s strength cannot be underestimated!”

Arthur stared and said, "Currently, this large group of French wizards has been blocked by the professors in the magic staircase above the main entrance hall of the castle. Hufflepuff and Slytherin are also assisting there. Guys. And we Ravenclaws have been ordered to patrol and search the entire Hogwarts Castle. This is not only to protect the younger students who are still in their respective common rooms, but also to give you Gryffindors Bring notice.

Now, the notification has been delivered!Now that you have prepared your team in advance, according to the order of the DA Military Student Autonomous Committee, please follow us to the foyer passage immediately for support! "

"Yes! Sir!"*N

Neville, Ron and others shouted respectfully almost instinctively.

At this moment, the object of their respect was not Arthur who was standing in front of them, but the order conveyed by Arthur.

Similarly, Arthur and the other Ravenclaws who read this order also had solemn and sacred expressions at this time.

Of course, this solemn atmosphere did not last long.

To be precise, when the Gryffindors actually walked downstairs under the leadership of the Ravenclaws, the atmosphere between the two groups returned to its original state.

Except for Neville and the unconvinced Ron, the Gryffindors were even deliberately trying to distance themselves from the Ravenclaws.

After all, I just saw them killing people not long ago.

During this period, Arthur was also observing the number of Gryffindors.

This should have been done as soon as the Gryffindor team met, but it was postponed until now because of too much faith in Gryffindor, who has a reputation for courage.

And when he actually counted the number of people in Gryffindor and found that it was not even 30, his expression completely changed.

"Why do you have so few people? Where are the other students?"

Arthur said a little hastily.

Neville, who heard the worry in his tone, said:

"We have sent the remaining people back. You don't have to worry, most of them are fine."

"Are you sure they were sent back and not escaped?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's a very simple literal meaning. Could it be that they were cowardly and ran away?"

Neville's face hardened, he stared into Arthur's eyes and said:

"I don't allow you to slander them like this, please apologize!"

"Why do I need to apologize? Hogwarts is at a critical moment of life and death..."

"Of course we know this, that's why we walked out of the common room. We are here to protect Hogwarts!"

"But you only came with so few people!" Arthur roared, "The situation is so serious, but you only came with so few people. Isn't this a fact?"

"Then how many people are here?" Ron finally couldn't help but said, "Judging from the current situation, it seems that the number of you Ravenclaws is smaller than that of Gryffindor, right?"

As soon as Ron said this, Neville noticed that the hostility in the eyes of Ravenclaw when he looked at them became even more serious.

He hurriedly inserted himself between the two of them again and persuaded:

"Ron, shut up and go back! And Arthur, I think you also need to understand us. In fact, we also had an encounter before joining you, during which we sacrificed a companion to save A girl, the rest of us just escorted them back to the common room first!"

"You don't need to explain, Neville, these all sound like excuses to me. Do you think that we have not experienced battles and sacrifices of our companions along the way here? Please believe me, what we have encountered is far worse than what you have experienced." It’s much more dangerous than I imagined!”

As Arthur spoke, he turned to look at Ron again, "If you ask me how many people have come from Ravenclaw, I can tell you clearly that all the people from Ravenclaw Academy who have passed the OWL exam since fifth grade and above Students, all have devoted themselves to this war! As for the number of Slytherins and Hufflepuffs, I suggest you count them yourself when you get there. I guarantee you will be so ashamed that you want to die! Brave Gran Findos!"

"you……"

Ron was so angry that he wanted to rush forward and fight Arthur, but he was suddenly pulled back by Neville.

Arthur, on the other hand, led the Ravenclaws straight away, taking the initiative to distance himself from the Gryffindors, only hanging in the distance to act as a guide.

"Neville, why did you stop me? Didn't you hear what they said? Those damn nerds!"

Ron was still roaring angrily, and the Gryffindors who followed behind also looked unhappy.

If they hadn't been worried about the emergency situation at Hogwarts just now, they would have pounced on them and started fighting with the Ravenclaws.

Watching all this, Neville first wiped the saliva sprayed by Ron on his face, and then pointed to the corner of the aisle with a wry smile.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and found the body of a hooded man in the corner. Not far from the body, there was a large pool of black blood.

The blood was so thick that it didn't look like it was accidentally splashed on during a battle, but rather like it was caused by a wounded person or a corpse lying there with the wound open for a long time.

And there were actually quite a few similar bloodstains in this entire long corridor.

This moved all the Gryffindors present.

You must know that the Ravenclaws just came along this way. In other words, the blood is either from the hooded man or the Ravenclaws.

Of these two options, the latter is obviously more reliable.

Because judging from the corpse in front of them and the situation after the death of the two hooded men in front, the Ravenclaws had no idea of ​​disposing of the hooded men's corpses.

Ron turned his head and looked at the retreating figures of the Ravenclaws in the distance, the anger on his face gradually replaced by guilt.

As early as when he saw the blood stains on the Ravenclaws, he expected that the other party might have witnessed the casualties of their teammates.

But I didn't expect that reality would be so cruel.

At this moment, Ron felt that he was beginning to understand the thoughts of Arthur and others.

These Ravenclaws are people who truly gave their all to Hogwarts.

The sacrifice they made was far greater than they imagined!

Putting himself in his shoes, Ron felt that if he were Arthur, he might have scolded him even more fiercely just now.

"call--"

Ron took a deep breath, patted Neville's arm, and motioned for him to let go of him.

Then he said to the people behind him with a heavy face:

"Let's go, we should do what we should do, but we must not let others look down upon us!"
