(Almost headless Nick, whose full name is Sir Nicholas de Mimsy, has the question of whether he should pronounce Mimsin-Poppington or Boltington.) Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info should be pronounced Mimsy-Bolton, I'm not sure, add a - seems to indicate a compound surname?)

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The two knights standing behind the principals moved slightly. It seems that through the mask, some kind of information is communicated.

"Alice can't be handed over to you," Ravenclaw began, "and we're not going to put a student in the hands of a murderer." ”

"Dear Madam, who in this age dares to say that he has shown his wand, with a clear conscience, and with clean hands. His face was expressionless, but his eyes revealed exhaustion. Then he rolled over and dismounted, and took off his helmet.

The long black hair flutters in the wind, occasionally revealing a few strands of white silk. He stood in front of the principals and said face to face.

"This war could have been avoided, is it worth it to let so many people die in vain for the sake of one person?"

At this time, a Muggle cavalry force arrived from the direction of Hogsmeade, and at this time there was no pure wizarding town in England. Instead, they were stationed as attendants of the nobles who were studying at Hogwarts.

The great noble wizard had enough fiefs to feed the family and grow stronger, and the education was also done by the family elders. The little nobles can't do it, and the appearance of Hogwarts is something they are happy to see.

The attendants, arranged by the students, lined up behind their respective masters. They wore different styles of armor, held weapons of different styles, and put their hands on the reins, looking ahead.

There is a great advantage to going into battle with a Muggle army, because when both sides have wizards and the difference in power is not large, an axe from behind can often have a surprise effect. And it can also make the enemy bother to deal with them and show their flaws.

A wizard who can level an army by himself is rare in a hundred years after all.

Gryffindor said after a silent exchange with Ravenclaw.

"If you guarantee Alice's life, we can accept your conditions. ”

"It's impossible, she's killed someone, and she's a member of her own family, and she has to fight with her life. Augustus refused.

"She's only 16—"

"I'm sixteen too—" Augustus interrupted Ravenclaw rudely, "whoever is responsible for their actions, and being young is no excuse." ”

"Listen, Augustus," Ravenclaw bit her lip, as if she wanted to avoid this looming war, "we look at Alice's memories, she was in self-defense, and she was not—"

"Who isn't, we came together in self-defense. Take back what belongs to us and let traitors and sinners receive the punishment they deserve. Augustus interrupted her again.

"Let's all calm down. Gryffindor said quietly.

"Don't try to stall, I know you're rushing Salazar and Helga back to school. Augustus pierced the two men's schemes, "Now I'll ask you one last time, can you hand over Alice?"

The two were silent.

"I'm sorry. "He put on his helmet and mounted his horse, and he didn't drag the mud or water at all.

"We regret it as well. ”

Phoenix knew the reasons why the Headmasters would not hand over Alice if Hogwarts succumbed to force. Then this kind of thing will happen again and again in the future, and Hogwarts can enter the school regardless of origin, age, or background, as long as it is favored by any of the four headmasters.

At that time, wizards mainly focused on family education, but many wizards could not get a good family education due to their background. Before they entered the school, they basically relied on tricks such as cheating and abduction, learning a little in the east and a little in the west. From time to time, a wizard family would bring someone to the door and ask the school to hand over someone.

At first, the principals also let them go, and the students were killed immediately. When the students found out about this, they felt that Hogwarts was not a place to stay for long, so they fled one after another, and Hogwarts died at one point.

Knowing the environment at that time, it is not difficult to understand the choice of the principals.

The two sides returned to their respective positions.

"Ready!"

"Ready!"

Both sides raised their wands and picked up their shields. With the help of a wizard, the trebuchet was installed in the blink of an eye. A wizard walked to the ground where a pile of stones was placed.

"Grow faster!"

One pebble after another, turning into boulders. The soldiers began to laboriously carry it away.

Augustus withdrew his gaze and looked back at the queue instead. In front of every team of Muggle soldiers, there is a wizard. They nodded together.

He pulled down his mask to cover his face, removed his shield from his horse, and the horse trotted away at the back of the queue.

"Attack!"

At the sound of an order, countless boulders flew in a graceful arc towards the castle and towards the enemy. He led the crowd with his shield in his hand and rushed out.

The teams on both sides, like wild horses on the loose, flew over Augustus's head with huge boulders that obscured the sky. Under the huge shadow, it bursts with brilliant brilliance.

In the first wave of attack, Peverell had a huge advantage. The students of Hogwarts, in order to block the falling rocks, chose the Levitation Charm or the Crushing Charm for their first spell. And their opponents will undoubtedly not let go of this first move.

Gryffindor held the sword, and Ravenclaw held the shield—Phoenix believed it was Gryffindor's, and witches rarely chose a large heavy shield. Not everyone had elven armor, although enhanced shields were useful at the time.

Augustus raised his hand and fired a spell at Ravenclaw, and her shield immediately transformed into a viper, biting down on her arm, and before the snake could bite its fangs into her flesh, it was thrown high into the air, turned into a plume of smoke, and then turned back into a shield and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Gryffindor used the blade of his sword to block a pale pink spell, and the two headmasters cast a death spell at the same time, two green spells, slashing through the green grass, shining green light, shining even more beautifully.

Augustus shrunk behind his shield and looked at the battlefield. A Peverell member is bitten by the throat of a silver, shimmering metallic lion.

"He's going to transfigulate!" shouted from nowhere, "Mark him, focus your attacks—"

The spell was blocked by the shield, and the huge impact force made him can't help but take several steps back before he could stand firm, and the image disappeared.

The ground for Gryffindor and Ravenclaw suddenly turned into a swamp, and the two of them fell to the ground unsteadily. Augustus was lightning, waving his wand, and the two death curses flew almost side by side.

"You nasty, you scoundrels, dogs—" shouted a stocky knight in armor. Looking at this stance, Phoenix thought he was going to be heroic. However, the greatsword was too long for him, and after using a particularly large move, he fell face down on the grass, and the spell passed by him.

But his bravery was not needed, and Ravenclaw, after falling, immediately stiffened the ground again. It also caused her feet to sink into the mud, and her face was slapped straight down, and her nose was bleeding. But it's better than having your face stuck in a swamp.

Gryffindor summoned back his shield and blocked the Avada Curse, severely bruising the entire right side of his face. The tacit cooperation between the two blocked this round of attacks.

"Nicholas went to help the principals, and here I am. A voice familiar to Phoenix shouted.

"Sir Nicholas, who calls me Mimsy, I have been promoted, how many times do you want me to say it. Gryffindor's resident ghost, grumbling, joins the fight between the three.
