Chapter 158: The Battle of Hogwarts (4)

A few months ago, Phoenix instructed the boards of directors of the two schools to recruit 'volunteers' in their graduating years, and it seems that the effect is quite good. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fleur saw her alumni screaming and running over, Wood, the former Gryffindor Quidditch captain who was immediately surrounded by Gryffindor students as soon as she appeared, Angelina, Harry's former Quidditch captain, Cedric's former Hufflepuff handsome, and Ravenclaw Quidditch captain Roger Davis.

"Okay, you'll all have time in the future--now, Kingsley and I are going to group you up-"

Slughorn returned breathless after transferring the students.

"The students are gone, and I think if we're going to fight to the end, we need to get more help. "I still have a bit of influence among my former students—"

"Very well, Professor, go ahead and get as many people as you can. Without waiting for him to finish, Phoenix agreed with him.

A delicate red feather appeared in Phoenix's hand, along with a letter. He opened the letter and read it quickly.

"We've had half an hour and he's not going to keep the promise. We need to move quickly! I and others have come up with a plan of action. Flitwick, Sprout, and Professor McGonagall each lead the team up to the three tallest towers - the Ravenclaw Tower, the Astronomy Tower, and the Gryffindor Tower - which offer a great view and vantage point for casting magic. Kingsley and Remus led the party into the playground, which was open and close to their camp of the Forbidden Forest - I had information that they would be sending a large number of giants, werewolves, vampires, and a small group of Death Eaters to attack it. ”

Phoenix is on a map of live spots, assigning tasks to everyone.

"Krum and Fleur take Durmstrang and Beauxbatons with them, guarding all the corridors leading to the playground. The rest of the Hogwarts students and I guarded the courtyard, where only a stone bridge could be passed, and the Hogwarts defensive stone statues would be placed on the bridge - we would probably face the most enemies, but they were all thugs and thugs-"

"We're going to retreat if necessary?" Kingsley saw some hints of Phoenix's plan.

"Yes, the team in the playground and the army we'll face Voldemort - they're five to six times as big as we are, ten to fifteen times as many as the dark creatures. So we can't keep them out all the time, and after a period of resistance, we all withdraw to the castle, so that we can curb the pressure they put on us. ”

Phoenix looked at Fleur and Krum, "Kingsley, they need a little rest after they retreat. Now it's up to you. ”

"No problem. Krum said gloomily, and Fleur nodded in understanding.

"Finally, Professor Sprout, I'd like to put in place some extra protection before you go to the tower—"

"No problem, we can put all the plants above the third greenhouse around the school—"

"Very well—any more questions?" Phoenix's eyes glanced.

"Dude, I almost forgot. George Weasley jumped three feet high.

"Spell caps, spell cloaks, spell gloves, come on, everyone get one," Fred took out three large boxes from his pocket, which were full of various protective equipment, "They don't do much against unforgivable spells, but they are very effective against some small magic, small evil spells, etc., and they are also resistant to ordinary spells. ”

"I remember asking you to prepare a stealth smoke bomb?" asked Phoenix, curious.

"You're kidding, now Britain is completely locked down by the international community - you put it mildly, we've tried even smugglers, and we haven't managed to get a few. Fred said helplessly.

"Oh. Phoenix groaned, he was negligent.

"But we still have some stock," he said, quickly slipping a small bag into Phoenix's pocket, "for the students." ”

With that, he immediately turned around and helped distribute the cloak and hood.

Everyone left the auditorium in an orderly manner and ran to their respective battle positions.

"Hi there. Draco didn't know when he stood next to Phoenix.

"Man, you're here. Just right, you're going with Daphne," Phoenix patted him on the shoulder, and there was no shortage of stunned stares around him. Rogge stared at Draco suspiciously, a little incredulous.

"Now there are four people in our academy, which is not bad. Phoenix said optimistically.

Phoenix took the Hogwarts students to the courtyard and stood where they usually got off the carriage, standing according to their respective houses. On the stone bridge in the distance, the brazier burned but could not dispel the smell of death.

The slanting sun only showed half of its body, and it seemed that he did not dare to look at the bloody battle that was about to break out.

Phoenix stood in the distance for a moment, then turned to face Hogwarts Castle.

"Stone pier out!" Phoenix shouted. The wall at the entrance of the auditorium is the same wall where all kinds of search notices and school notices are usually hung. A stone statue broke through the wall, and more and more stone statues appeared, and soon the walls became full of holes, and the stone statues appeared in a steady stream, they were arranged in a neat procession, silent and majestic.

"Hogwarts is threatened!" Phoenix exclaimed, "Defend the borders, defend the teachers and students, and do your duty for the school!"

The statues immediately headed towards the stone bridge, and the Hogwarts students flashed a path for them to pass. Everyone heard a rumbling crash from upstairs and downstairs, and the whole castle took the same action. With a crash and shouts, a group of moving statues swarmed past them, some smaller, some larger than life, and some animals. Those sonorous armor wielded swords and chained ball of fangs.

"That's cool!" Philip said as he watched the statue walk past them.

Phoenix's wand was not lowered, still pointing straight at the sky. As words were spoken, a white bolt of lightning struck the Gryffindor Tower, bouncing off the Astronomy Tower and the Ravenclaw Tower. A triangular pattern of white lightning bolts formed for a few seconds before turning into a creamy white curtain over Hogwarts Castle.

With one last wave of his wand, a large flag bearing the Hogwarts coat of arms appeared out of thin air to block the front door. Everyone watched as the flag appeared, grabbing their wands and pointing in the direction of the enemy that had not yet appeared in the distance.

Phoenix stood in silence at the front, looking into the distance. Now it's your turn, Voldemort.

"Looks like they're going to fight to the end," Voldemort said, standing on a small hill, looking at the huge protective barrier formed by Hogwarts. Among the Death Eaters around him, there were both excited and worried. The wizard behind him was densely packed and covered by the sky. It is also supported by dementors, tall giants, and wild and ferocious werewolves. They were all waiting, waiting for the Dark Lord to give orders.

"It's a pity. He whispered, a wizard behind him visibly shaking.

"Lord—master," Voldemort turned his head to look at him, "can't you wait any longer?"

Voldemort looked at the man coldly, and he immediately retreated. Voldemort knew that many of his children were still in school. They want to wait a little longer for their children to leave safely.

However, every additional minute of delay increases the chances of Harry Potter destroying the Horcruxes - those people are really unreliable, but it doesn't matter, even if Potter destroys the Horcruxes, he still has Nagini. But it was him, the soul of the great Dark Lord, and the lives of those people were nothing compared to that. It's just some wise rat cubs--

"Offense. He didn't speak loudly, but it reached everyone's ears.
