Professor Gilderoy Lockhart was a little too quiet today, and seemed to be smiling less. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Perhaps because of the impending Great War, Professor McGonagall sat in the middle of the faculty chair, wearing a solemn-looking black wizard's robe, with the other three Deans flanking her, and Albus Dumbledore not showing up.

The auditorium was filled with students, all four of whom were here. Hundreds of candles floated silently in the air, darkening the cloudy ceiling. Ghosts with a milky white glow floated at the very back of the auditorium, where all the ghosts except Peeves stayed. Hagrid, who is more than two meters tall, guards the gate alone, while Caretaker Feige and his cat stand beside Hagrid.

On either side of the hall stood a dozen or so faces, both men and women, dressed differently, all of them Aurors.

"Director Bones, would you like to say a few words first?" Professor McGonagall whispered to the witch to her right, also wearing a black wizard's robe embroidered with gold trim.

Amelia Bones, the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, didn't say anything, but stood up from her position, her voice loud and crisp, reminiscent of the hot winds of early autumn that make the waves of golden wheat roll in the autumn.

"Dear students, before I do today, I would like to tell you one thing, and that is that all the Aurors here, including me, are Hogwarts graduates. When they hear that their alma mater has been attacked by a basilisk, they volunteer to join the action. ”

"I want everyone to understand that Hogwarts is the most important magical institution in the British wizarding world, it directly shapes the future of the wizarding world, and now that our second home is threatened, I hope you can reach out and try to defend your home. ”

After a brief speech, the students below seemed to be a little nervous, and everyone did not react for a while, until Susan Bones was moved by the first applause, and everyone stood up collectively and applauded.

Bones nodded slightly to his niece, then sat down.

Professor McGonagall's serious expression softened slightly, and she smiled and nodded to Director Bones, a glimmer of relief in the eyes of the two powerful witches, and the Aurors in the audience looked around warily.

"Alright, guys, I think you already know. Hogwarts castle roams a basilisk, a monster that kills with its eyes, its fangs that spew venom venom, its magic immunity that ordinary spells can't hurt it, and its huge body is tens of meters long. Such a monster was originally intended to guard the Slytherin legacy, but for some reason, the founder's original intentions were distorted, and the basilisk became a tool to kill the Hogwarts students. ”

"Nowadays, the basilisk will attack any student, including the descendants of Slytherin," Professor McGonagall glanced at Sisyphus, and Professor Snape nodded slightly, "It has become the biggest obstacle to the normal order of teaching in the school. The professors have tried their best to destroy the basilisk, but it hides in the depths of the castle, protected by powerful magic spells. At this time, I need everyone's help. Professor McGonagall said in a firm voice.

"Professor, Hogwarts is not just a school for professors, it's our school, and we're willing to fight for Hogwarts. Cedric Diggory was the first to say excitedly.

"Brave Hufflepuff, your courage has earned your house ten points!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed.

"Oh, Professor McGonagall, speaking of bravery, I think we Gryffindors deserve our name, Gryffindor is always at your disposal!" Percy was no longer so rigid, but smiled confidently and stood up, calling for battle on behalf of Gryffindor. Perhaps this is Percy's other true appearance, like Bill and Charlie, cynical and unwavering.

"When it comes to knowing the serpent spirits, I'm afraid no one is more reliable than us Slytherins, and how can such an interesting thing be without us Slytherins?" said Garma Farley in a low voice.

As soon as Farley's words fell, the Ravenclaw prefect couldn't wait to pick up, and Xie An couldn't help but be speechless when he saw that Penelope didn't grab the opportunity to speak.

Xie An looked at the excitement of the students, and sneered in his heart, the basilisk is not the kind of monster suitable for siege, its venom, its body, are all weapons suitable for group attack. Imagine releasing poison in the crowd, how many of these little wizards can survive?

The professors of the academy are not stupid, these child soldiers are at best knowledgeable, and it will be their turn to go into battle in person. The Herbology Professor and Professor Flitwick looked moved to tears, but Sisyphus Snape remained expressionless, and Xie An decided that Snape must have sneered in his heart.

"Our dear students, you really didn't disappoint me, but the chaotic and unorganized attack will only allow the basilisk to escape, so now I will assign you a task first, this time we will not come according to the house, but according to the grade, everyone listen: first of all, the president and prefect of the student council, led by Professor Flitwick, you are responsible for directly attacking the snake, the fifth to seventh grade students, you follow Professor Sprout, you are responsible for preventing the basilisk from escaping, as for the remaining second to fourth year students, they will be led by Professor Snape, you are responsible for monitoring other movements in the school, and finally there are first year studentsYou stay in the open field with Hagrid and Professor Trelawney, waiting for the school to end..."

After Professor McGonagall finished their tasks, the students immediately began to talk in a low voice, and the first-year students were ready to go, only to end up on the outside of the castle, and they were very dissatisfied, and it seemed that a few students were going to protest loudly, but they were glared at by several prefects, and the young and weak-hearted students reluctantly accepted the principal's arrangement. Xie An looked at Professor Snape, who had been arranged to be a nanny, and secretly sympathized for the professor for a while.

"Are they really going to have students go up and attack the basilisk?" asked his roommate Michael in a low voice, looking so worried that he thought he was dying.

"There are so many Aurors, and if I'm not mistaken, that is the head of the Aurors Division of the Ministry of Magic, Bones, I think the Aurors are the main force. Xie An replied.

"Actually, we're just getting aware, aren't we?" Michael looked at Shea, looking like a criminal sentenced to exile, waiting for the judge to be extrajudicial.

"As long as professors have the ability to think, they don't expect a group of kids to kill a basilisk that has gone crazy and lived for hundreds of years. Xie An said coldly.

"Of course, of course, it seems that I was all confused by these terrible rumors! If they really wanted us to kill that terrible monster, my parents would go crazy! Only orphans and crazy parents would allow their children to fight a murderous monster dozens of meters long. Michael said excitedly, it's good to have parents and children. (To be continued.) )
