A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 576: Towards the end

"Granger—and, oh, my God!" Professor McGonagall ran over from a distance, lowered his head quickly in the middle of speaking, and a few brooms passed over her head. She stared at Neville and the others in the distance, her chest heaving violently.

"What the **** is going on with you—they—?" she said angrily.

"Well, it's obvious, isn't it? They're going to help Harry—" Hermione kept her tone as light as possible.

"Is there something about Harry?"

"Hagrid is in danger—"

"I know, I already let Sirius and Snape pass."

"There is also little Grapp——"

"Don't tell me you know that giant, Miss Granger, or that you just picked up a name temporarily?" Professor McGonagall gasped.

"I know," Hermione said bravely. Now that no one else is here, she thinks she has the responsibility to explain, especially to say good things for the little Gramp who has been exposed: "That's Hagrid's brother, we're fine He listens to music and watches movies together. He likes 'a pot of hot love'—"

She couldn't continue, Professor McGonagall clutched her chest, unable to breathe, and seemed to be about to faint.

"Professor? Can we help?" Hermione asked cautiously.

The dozen or so students following her nodded silently, even though they were quite shocked from the expressions - giants are quite cruel creatures in the records of wizards. Min, and Harry and Ron, who were not there, stood in awe.

If it weren't for the wrong timing right now, they must have brought up a hundred thousand questions.

Professor McGonagall stared at Hermione, and glanced at the students behind her, "I heard that Professor Black taught you how many actual combat formations in class? Let me see your results, in groups of three, hiding Behind the armor and statues, don't show your head easily, only attack the infernal corpses that the professors missed, remember! Once injured, report immediately, even if the skin is broken, the claws and teeth of the infernal corpses are poisonous."

The students nodded silently, and the excitement on their faces subsided a little.

"Luna, Ginny, come with me." Hermione whispered, and Ginny pulled Luna closer. Hermione stretched out her hand and grabbed the air. The golden flames created by the ancient magic culture poured out from between her fingers. Before it landed, it condensed into the shape of a firebird. It stretched its swan-like wings and flew away quickly. . The other students looked at her enviously.

The firebird passed under the castle, illuminating a wide flat area halfway up the mountain, where armor and statues stood neatly, big and small, and even animals. A solid wall blocked the Inferi, and behind them stood more than a dozen adult wizards, including professors from the school and people from the Ministry of Magic.

But they pale in comparison to the huge number of corpses, and they can only guard the main road.

These people had to stand scattered, each responsible for an area, but they couldn't do anything about the farther places. They stopped by a pine tree before, and seemed to be very interested in things.

"We can only guarantee that we will clear a road first, and the rest will be discussed at dawn." Professor McGonagall said, she rejoined the battle, waved her wand, and the grass that just poked its head on the ground grew wildly, and the approaching corpse Stumbling, Hermione controlled the firebirds and dropped clouds of flames, burning them to ashes.

There are two dementors floating in the air in the distance, like tattered cloth heads blown by the wind. They seemed a little afraid of this place, and when Hermione looked up again, the dementor had disappeared.

There were wolves howling in the Forbidden Forest, and she wasn't sure if it was a werewolf.

"I hope there are no dead people. Although we have made preparations in advance, some things cannot be controlled." Professor McGonagall said, looking at the green skull hanging in the sky.

As soon as the words fell, the huge constellation-like Dark Mark suddenly became extremely dazzling, and countless dazzling fireworks exploded from inside. People all over Hogwarts raised their heads one after another. With the sound of a huge explosion, the jaw of the skull was shattered, and the wriggling snake in its mouth disappeared, replaced by a colorful fire dragon swimming happily.

The skull's eyes are also replaced by two wheel-like fireworks that spin and sputter sparks, making the whole scene look comical. With the help of the dazzling light, Professor McGonagall saw several black dots rushing out of the green cloud, and she moaned softly, "It must be Fred and George. Even at this time..."

"They did a good job this time," Ginny said, staring into the air, as she jerked her wand and threw a spell.

"The Bat Spirit Charm doesn't work on Inferi, Ginny," said Hermione, "You have to use fire magic, try Bright Fire—" She froze, staring at the hapless Inferi.

"Wow, what a big bat." Luna said in amazement.

Finally the Dark Mark disappears along with the Weasley fireworks, and the castle darkens again. Hermione, Ginny, and Luna were standing in front at the moment, Luna controlled a white flame, turned her head and said, "We need a little light."

Someone wanted to go with her. At the gate of the castle, Cedric held a bright ball of light in both hands. The ball of light emitted a soft light to the surroundings. The students standing behind him stretched out their hands in unison. Soon, the **** of light were like lanterns. Flying into the sky like the moon again, dotted over Hogwarts.

After finishing all this, they trotted down the stone steps and came to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall has become a little numb, "Thank you, children, in groups of three, don't get too close to the front..."

"Professor McGonagall, Mr. Kingsley asked me to tell you that the back door of the castle has been secured. He doesn't need so many people there." Cedric said.

"Great." Professor McGonagall said with satisfaction, "We are in need of manpower here, and there are too many places to defend...Since you are here, I can draw out a few professors...There is more than one battlefield .”

She was right. Apart from the Ministry of Magic far away in London and the village of Hogsmeade adjacent to the school, the school is also divided into several battlefields—the fence near Hagrid’s hut, the front and rear gates of the castle, and even the relatively peaceful headmaster’s office. Is a 'battlefield'.

Umbridge made a mess of the office.

In the beginning, she disguised herself as a curious student, claiming to have Dumbledore's permission to do an exclusive interview for the "Mystery Wall Tabloid". She looked around, touched things here and there, and grabbed the Sorting Hat and shook it off vigorously, but she got nothing but tears choked by the dust.

She searched all the places she could find, the books on the bookshelves were scattered all over the floor, the wine in the wine cabinet was roughly pushed aside, and there were a few greasy finger prints on the inlaid wood, as if she was checking There is no hidden grid.

Seeing the time passing by, the shouts and commotion outside spread here like a plague, but Umbridge showed no panic or surprise, and she even wanted to break into the second floor of Dunbur In Lido's private bedroom, the portraits of previous principals finally could not ignore her anomaly.

The portrait in the principal's office yelled at her angrily—

"I've never seen a student like you!"

A fat wizard with a red nose said in the portrait: "Stop! What house are you from?"

Umbridge tried a few more times, and found herself blocked by an invisible membrane, and her magic was completely ineffective. As a last resort, she shifted her gaze to the principal's desk. Umbridge sat down on the principal's chair with Mafalda's face in his face, and looked at it for a while.

"Obviously, I'm a Slytherin," she said casually.

"Liar!" said the portrait of Phineas Black, Sirius' great-grandfather and Hogwarts' most unpopular headmaster, squinting his eyes as if he had just woken up.

"My name is Mafalda, you can have someone look it up," Umbridge said sweetly, "if you can do it, Headmaster Black." Then she ignored the accusations of the portraits, Stare intently at a desk drawer.

The drawer was locked the first time she checked, and she tried the usual breaking spell, with no response at all.

There is no other way at the moment, she can only focus on this again. "I need a key," she said to herself, "I don't want him to wear it, and I'll get nothing." She tried to think, "If the key were in the house, where would it be? ""

It took a short time, and she finally found the key from the bottom drawer on the other side. The key was hidden under a thick stack of documents and a few letters. If she is usually interested in spying on Dumbledore's privacy and social network, it is best to get some black information.

But she just rolled up the documents and letters indiscriminately, and after fumbling around inside, she took out an ancient key.

Holding her breath, she stuffed the key into the lock cylinder, the sound of "click" was like a sound of heaven, she pulled the drawer suddenly, and the magical glow instantly illuminated her eyes. She stared greedily at the contents: the yew wand, the black gemstone ring, the locket, the diadem, the tattered diary.

Besides the wand, locket, and diadem, the other two items looked lackluster.

"Slytherin's locket... Ravenclaw's diadem..."

Umbridge was trembling with excitement. She ignored the portraits and shouted "Thief! Shameful thief!" Pockets the relic of Labor's Power Arcana', then jumps off the chair to flee.

She knew that she had delayed for too long, and the mysterious man promised to buy her time, but she couldn't be sure.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped.

An idea popped up uncontrollably in my mind: the mysterious man's desire for the locket and the crown is endless, so what about other things that can stand side by side with these two treasures? Is that wand a mighty wand? Does the Black Gemstone Ring have any secrets? Diary...

Umbridge, however, dismissed the tattered diary with a big hole in the middle.

Greedy desire got the upper hand again, she turned back and reached out to the drawer, when she heard a high-pitched, loud cry, a flame burst out from the circular office, and a phoenix emerged from the fire .

Umbridge was terrified. She hadn't considered the situation at all, was Dumbledore coming back? Her appearance can only be a stupid portrait, and it is impossible to hide it from Dumbledore... For a moment, she seemed to have forgotten how to breathe.

Fawkes spread his wings and landed on the gilded perch by the door, looking at her critically.

There was a bit of silence in the circular room, Umbridge slowly retracted his hands, showed Phoenix his empty hands flatteringly, and moved towards the door step by step, "Don't let her leave! Fox, she's a thief! ' cried one of the portraits.

Umbridge's mind buzzed, damn, stupid portrait, it will destroy you if it has a chance! She thought so in her heart, but her body was doing the exact opposite. She frantically stretched out her hand to press the doorknob, and twisted it hard. She had already heard the sound of the phoenix's angry chirping and flapping wings. She pulled hard, The door opened, and thanks to her small stature, she was much smaller than a phoenix with outstretched wings. At the last moment when the door closed, Umbridge saw Fox's long, pointed beak pecking at the door frame, knocking against the door frame. Get a few sparks out.

"Boom!"

The door closed, and Umbridge was overjoyed. "Boom!" There was another sound, she jumped up in fright, and jumped onto the spiral staircase in a panic. The stairs began to descend slowly automatically, but she couldn't wait any longer, and stepped on the steps with her short legs to speed up. As soon as a gap opened, she couldn't wait to jump out, and then ran wildly in the empty corridor.

Hearing the sound of the door being knocked open, she felt her heart in her throat, and she rolled and crawled all the way to the moving stairs of the main building, and almost fell down the stairs. She took a few breaths and ran down desperately, looking extremely embarrassed. But she wouldn't care, since it wasn't her face that was used anyway.

She had planned it from the beginning to make that girl a scapegoat.

What she has to do now is to run to the abandoned classroom on the first floor, and exchange it with the real Mafalda. Umbridge's eyes flashed fiercely as he ran.

In order to destroy evidence and get rid of suspicion, it is the best choice to let a corpse appear in the school.

The crowing of the phoenix echoed in the corridors of the castle, and Umbridge was startled and moved even faster.

But she doesn't need to worry too much, the phoenix cry was not aimed at her, but an ancient rune professor who was behind the black hand. Fox slammed open the door, only to be grabbed by the neck by a hand that suddenly stretched out of the air, and the hand shook. Fox, who had never been treated so roughly, was about to explode.

"Take it easy," Felix said with a smile, hugging Fox like a hen, and stroking its beautiful feathers with the other hand, "Calm down, you have to give her Take some time to escape, otherwise you won't be able to go on..."

Fox raised his slender and graceful neck, his eyes were full of anger.

Felix leisurely took out a silver pocket watch, flipped open the front cover and looked at the time, "Hey?" Warren's voice came from inside. "It's not over yet, you're safest staying inside." Felix comforted.

"Hi!!!"

"Uh, I'm sorry, I can't give you the little snake yet. There are potential risks in nesting the traceless stretching spell, and you don't want it to explode suddenly..."

Felix closed the watch cover, carried Fox down the stairs of the principal's office, and looked into the distance through the window in the corridor on the eighth floor.

It was as bright as day outside, and a broom flew over the castle. He saw some familiar faces, and—as if they were comparing each other, light **** of illumination flew out from various places in the castle, and the soft white light superimposed together, turning Hogwarts into a world of light.

The ghost corpses hiding in the bushes, behind trees, or beside stones immediately jumped out of their hiding places like headless flies, and instinctively fled to the distance, only to be sprinkled by the broomstick whizzing past in mid-air A white flame ignites.

Dozens or hundreds of lighting techniques gathered, and even half of the Forbidden Forest was lit up.

Felix finally let go, Fawkes broke free from his arms, angrily sprayed a few golden sparks at him, Felix waved at it, "Go, let Umbridge Get moving, don't be idle, Voldemort can't wait..."

Fox turned gracefully in mid-air, and the two long feathers trailing behind flung Felix's arms, and flew towards the moving stairs of the main building without looking back.

…

Harry looked at the empty wall and heaved a sigh of relief. When he hit the back, he knew that the enemy would never succeed, and their support was endless——

In the beginning, there were only Hagrid and Glop, but he came and knocked down several dark wizards in one go, and also dispersed the dementors here; then they joined Mad-Eye Moody and Tonks smoothly , and then Ron rushed over with Neville, Fred, and George. They obeyed Moody's instructions and formed a bullhorn formation. Let little Grapp hide behind and throw stones, and those werewolves, vampires, and dark wizards hit I can no longer get up.

Sirius and Snape were also assigned by Professor McGonagall; Hagrid called out the centaurs, and when Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout also rushed over, the situation was completely stable. The intruder had to retreat beyond the broken wall.

"Let's double-team!" Moody shouted, snatching broomsticks from Ron, Fred, George, Neville -- the twins swearing and reluctantly, but tonight Because he and Tonks were guarding the school wall, they didn't use Polyjuice Potion, which caused the magic eye in his eye socket to turn rapidly, and the deterrent effect was amazing.

Harry was relieved that Moody glanced at Harry and didn't ask him for the Firebolt.

He divided the brooms among Sirius, Tonks, and Snape, and kept the last one for himself. Moody stared at Harry and said irrefutably, "You stay here and don't interrupt! Listen to me—" he growled, "I hear you're a rare Seeker, so use your skills." role. I will not assign you tasks."

Moody, Sirius, Tonks, and Snape rode brooms and flew outside the fence. This action undoubtedly caught the other side by surprise, and there were screams and the sound of bodies falling heavily outside. "It's time for us to act too, boys," Flitwick said sharply, "Stand behind me, please."

He and Professor Sprout stood together, like a sharp arrow, and walked towards the huge breach in the wall. There was plenty of light in front of him, and he was not afraid of being attacked by someone. The four students followed closely behind, followed by the centaur, Hagrid, and Grawp.

Harry held the Firebolt in a daze, then turned over and climbed on the broom and flew into the air. This time he saw more clearly: the four of Moody just flew to the opposite side with the help of the broom, and got off the broom after passing by , Harry suddenly understood his position.

The sky is his home field.

He swooped down, the Firebolt seemed to be one with him, Harry flew past a Death Eater like a ghost, he could even see his reflection in that person's pupils, a red light flashed, the Dark Wizard fell to the ground.

"Be careful! It's Harry Potter, he, he's flying!"

"Nice job, kid!" Moody exclaimed happily, taking advantage of the opportunity created by Harry, he knocked down two dark wizards in an instant, and the others also had their own results.

Harry manipulated the Firebolt with ease. He was covered with the Humanoid Iron Armor Curse. He kept flying at low altitude and high speed. The ear-piercing whistling sound from his body frightened the black wizards. After a few times, the remaining dark wizards couldn't stand it anymore. .

They apparated and fled one after another. In a panic, more than one of them had a very serious separation phenomenon.

"A few escaped," Moody muttered.

Harry fell slowly, and Sirius ran over excitedly~IndoMTL.com~ and slapped Harry on the shoulder hard, Harry sat on the ground with his buttocks, and was hurt by the stone, he couldn't bear it He bared his teeth at his godfather.

Sirius chuckled and sat near him, "You're doing well, Harry."

"What about us?" Fred came over with resentment, he was still obsessed with the broom, George, Neville and Ron were also sitting around, they were all tired in just ten minutes broken. Watch as Professors Flitwick and Sprout comment on the huge gap in the school wall.

"It's a lot of work to fix..."

"It's better than creating something from nothing." Professor Sprout said, she sprinkled a few seeds in the gap, waved her magic wand, and sprouts emerged from the soil, growing rapidly, and soon went along smoothly. The wall blocked most of the fracture. "Wait a minute, Pomona—" Moody said gruffly from outside, as he and Tonks dragged the tightly bound Dark wizard in, "All right."

Professor Sprout waved his wand, and the vines immediately filled the last gap.

"At least until dawn," she said.

Glop held a stone the size of a human head in his hand, as if he was bouncing a small stone, and seemed to be aiming at the vine wall. Hagrid hurriedly stopped him. The giant, but because of a battle they had been through together, they were too embarrassed to point their bows at him at the moment.

"But it's over. I'm going to die." said Ron, who had just watched a wonderful performance. He leaned on George, and George leaned back, so Ron lay on his lap , George lowered his head and stared at his younger brother.

"Do you want me to fix your nose?"

"Ahem!" Ron got up immediately and said solemnly, "I don't know what's going on in the castle now?"
