A friendly day at Hogwarts

Chapter 540: The Beginning of the War

Perhaps even His Highness the Dark Lord, who was standing outside the castle wall at this moment, did not expect that his threats and inducements not only did not cause real internal strife, but instead led the three houses except Slytherin to unite unprecedentedly.

Professor McGonagall stood on the rostrum and looked around. At the three long tables, most of the students above fifth grade stood up, and there were even many young wizards in third and fourth grade.

With most students having received almost no professional training, I am afraid that even the aftermath of the battle could kill them, let alone the junior wizards who have not even learned a few decent curses.

The deadline given by Voldemort was only three and 10 minutes, and Professor McGonagall wasted half of the time before reluctantly persuading him. In the end, most of the people participating in the battle were adult seventh-year students and some members. Even Ginny was stopped.

Seeing that there was not much time left, the command was quickly handed over to Mad-Eye. He neatly arranged everyone to various exits of the castle to prepare for the decisive battle.

Glenn went to the most dangerous main entrance of the campus. Across the stone bridge across the cliff, a fire was dimly visible under the dark purple night. That was where the Death Eaters gathered.

In the final few minutes, they will attack from here.Even though they were hundreds of meters away, they could still feel the cruel killing intent coming towards them.

Professor McGonagall slowly walked out of the castle gate, turned around, and waved her wand.

"Shidun is dispatched!"

A heart-stirring scene in the movie was played out in front of Glenn. Huge bluestone statues jumped down from their original positions one after another, making a dull sound of landing. The armors that could be seen everywhere in the castle were also awakened in an instant, and they lined up neatly. Appearing from various corridors with a clatter.

All the stone piers and armors in the entire castle received orders, and rumbling crashes sounded from every corner.

Only then did the uninformed students realize that they were not just decorations, but guards that protected them at all times.

"Hogwarts is under threat!" Professor McGonagall shouted, "Keep the borders, defend us, and do your duty to the school!"

With the roar of boulders and the clanging of armor, these lifeless defenders adhered to their orders and walked firmly towards each entrance of the campus.

When the enemy comes, they will be one of the most reliable defense forces in Hogwarts.

A set of huge armor that was twelve feet tall strode past Glenn's eyes. It was a collection in the castle and was said to have been specially built for the trolls.

At the same time, the towering astronomical tower was flashing with light, and dazzling spells pierced the night sky one after another.

That was Professor Flitwick's defensive magic. The low-hanging clouds in the sky had dispersed at some point, and a faint blue light shone, turning into a translucent dome light curtain, slowly covering it.

At this time, Hannah and several Hufflepuff students hurried from the direction of the greenhouse, dragging large packages.

"Professor Sprout asked me to send this. Devil's net, poisonous tentacles, and Chinese biting cabbage. They will definitely help!"

She directed the others to leave one of the packages and run in the other direction without stopping.

Sprout was not the only one who asked people to deliver supplies. Slughorn also had to spend all his money and sent Eddie and Marcos to deliver a large box of precious potions suitable for combat. In the past, the price was Energizing potions worth more than one galleon can only be regarded as the cheapest items here, and there are dozens of bottles.

It can be seen that the old slug really spent a lot of money this time. After being tied to the warship, he had no choice.

Strictly speaking, Voldemort's preparations for this attack were not sufficient.Because the incident happened suddenly, he had not yet completed the recruitment of all dark forces. The only ones who came to Hogwarts this time were his loyal Death Eaters, Fenrir Greyback led the werewolf army, and a dark creature. formed team.

Of course, there is also Queen Morgana who is hiding somewhere.

This day is not a full moon, so the werewolf cannot transform and its combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.At this time, the giants who should be able to best display their strength in the offensive battle are still far away in the remote mountainous areas of Northern Europe, and there is no time at all.

Rush to the Scottish Highlands.

But even so, with the daunting Dementors and a large number of inferi that are not afraid of death, the overall strength of the Death Eaters is still much higher than that of the Hogwarts side without Dumbledore.

Defense preparations were in full swing, and the falling dome light curtain was very conspicuous. Voldemort was just a few hundred meters away on the uphill slope, so he had naturally seen their intention to hold on.

However, for the sake of face, he still waited the full 10 minutes that he said himself.

When the time came, he gave an order, and the decisive battle finally began. Dozens of green lights cut through the night sky, shooting towards the protective light curtain like sharp arrows.

Strong magic waves spread out, and the translucent dome shone with light, just like a boulder thrown into the calm water, causing waves in an instant.

The green light finally failed to penetrate the barrier, and the color gradually dimmed until it disappeared.

Although he took advantage of the advance arrangement, he single-handedly blocked dozens of Death Eaters' volleys of killing curses without shattering them. This shows that Flitwick is very powerful and is clearly worthy of his former title of duel champion.

The densely packed Inferi rushed to the dome in the blink of an eye, and were blocked by the magic power from advancing beyond the wall. Although they were not intelligent, they still launched attacks desperately under the control of the undead black magic.

Sen Bai's nails made ripples on the translucent light screen, which was horrifying to watch.

Like ordinary wizards, the werewolves who could not transform could only use magic attacks with the Death Eaters, and the colorful light illuminated half of the sky.

There is no unbreakable shield in the world. Under the continuous attacks, the barrier dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Everyone outside the castle woke up from a dream and quickly raised their wands to replenish the dome with magic power.

Although it is not as fast as the consumption rate, it can temporarily withstand the pressure. What they need most at the moment is to delay time and wait for reinforcements from the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic to arrive.

However, the real trouble is not just these crazy attacks, but the dementors from the sky.

As we all know, the only thing that can resist Dementors is the Patronus. Although the defense of the light curtain is strong, it is useless against them.Nearly a hundred Dementors just broke through the first line of defense without any hindrance under the cover of night, as if.

"It's a dementor!" Glenn was keenly aware of the coldness in the air. He reacted instantly and reminded loudly, "Don't worry about the light curtain for now! Quick! Summon the patron saint!"

A patron saint of swans quickly leapt into the air, silver light flickering and its wings waving, and it rushed straight towards the overwhelming black dementors.
