Chapter 663: Transfer to Hogwarts
In the Great Hall of Hogwarts, Scrimgeour sat at a table with a dark face.
I thought that what would happen next would be a war of annihilation with great costs but even greater benefits, but in the end it turned into a one-sided rout.
Yuri sat down next to Scrimgeur, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be discouraged, young man, don't you just lose a village, just wait for the fight to come back." We were all beaten under the city of Moscow, and in the end we did not plant the flag over Berlin. β
"Don't think about the bad side of things, at least your decision will allow the civilians of Hogsmeade to retreat here safely."
Scrimgeour nodded, but his face still didn't improve.
As soon as the defensive line was breached this morning, Scrimgeour ordered a gradual retreat to the settlement, and then covered the civilian move to Hogsmeade.
The frightened civilians scrambled to Hogwarts, but Yuri made a big noise to calm them down, otherwise there would be a serious stampede in the crowd.
The Aurors, on the other hand, relied on covering the retreat of the civilians to boost their morale, and when everyone arrived at Hogwarts, the gloom of defeat appeared in their hearts.
Outside the castle, Zhang Xu and Rodney on patrol were talking softly.
"Are you sure it's EMP?" Zhang Xu asked in a low voice.
Rodney nodded: "Well, my grandfather told me just now, the fighter dropped a small EMP bomb, and then all the stone men on the Hogsmeade side collapsed. β
Zhang Xu touched his chin, looked at the door of Hogwarts and said, "It seems that this technique really works, it can scare the Death Eaters into suspending their attacks, which has saved many lives." β
"After all, everything is mutual." Rodney remembered the phone that had been scrapped on the day he first came to Hogwarts.
"It's good that the radius of action is not large, otherwise it would be fun to blow up Hogwarts by the way." Zhang Xu's words were vaguely filled with a hint of expectation.
This is the second time that the EMP weapon has been used against wizards after the burning of Majiazhuang, and it seems that the effect is still strong. It's a pity that it has little impact on the wizards themselves, otherwise they can try to come to a "forbidden demon realm".
"The next battle should be fierce, right?" Rodney asked.
"yes." Zhang Xu sighed, "The next step should be the decisive battle between the two sides, if this battle is won, the future will be better." β
"We might die too, right?" Rodney's tone was a little weird.
Then she continued, "Can I ask you a question while we are still alive?" β
Zhang Xu almost replied to the last sentence, "Lan Xiang, loved, don't make an appointment, there is something tomorrow, there is no money, Lord Bao, save my mother, I don't know Amway, I don't know why the pigeon is so big......"
He finally said, "What's the problem? β
"You ......," Rodney hesitated for a moment, then asked with determination, "Have you ever hugged the headmaster over the years, like you hugged the ginger fish cakes?" β
Zhang Xu stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder gently, and said in a serious voice: "I'm ready to leave Hogwarts, and your life here has just begun, please don't kill yourself." β
At this time, Professor McGonagall's Patronus ran over and called Zhang Xu back to the castle.
"Allies! We are allies! Bound up in a mummy, Faranir shouted in the middle of a crowd of students and Aurors, "I, Oneius, and Muskino were ordered to go undercover in the Death Eaters, and if you don't believe me, you can ask for Dumbledore's portrait!" Zhang Xu, who is connected to me, can also prove it! β
"Then how can you prove that you are Faraniel and not the other Death Eaters pretending?" Moody's wand was pointed at the door of the other's head.
"If x,y satisfies the constraints
?x-2y-2β€0
?x-y+1β₯0
?yβ€0
So what is the maximum value of z=3x+2y? β
This time, it was Scaret's turn to point her wand at the back of Falaneil's head, and then she looked at Oneijus and Muskino, who were also tied up, "You can't run away either." β
Faraniel finally said quietly, "Professor, can you give me a piece of scratch paper and let me do the math?" β
When Zhang Xu came back, the three of them had already experienced their bodies, and they all loosened the ropes on their bodies. After receiving confirmation from Zhang Xu, who was in charge of connecting with them, Moody returned the wand to them.
"The Mystic Man is going to attack Hogwarts next, and he's letting us in and cause chaos." Faraniel reported.
Now Scrimgeour and Professor McGonagall's skulls began to hurt, and now there were people in the castle who had escaped from Hogsmeade in addition to the students. In this case, if Voldemort attacks Hogwarts, it will be a big mess.
At this time, Zhang Xu said on the side: "I suggest that the Hogwarts evacuation plan be activated immediately, and the civilians and junior students should be evacuated first. β
Hogwarts had a plan for evacuating through the unscientific but magical Dumbledore plane in case of an emergency, but there were so many people in the castle that it was necessary to evacuate in several batches.
Scrimgeour, Professor McGonagall, and Rodney Sr. discussed the evacuation plan, while Zhang Xu walked over to Faranier's side.
At this time, Faranire was telling the story of Snape's murder.
"Then I took Snape's body to the grove near his house and buried it."
Zhang Xu squeezed to Faranier's side at this time, and he asked, "Are you sure Snape was bitten to death by Nagini?" β
Faraniel nodded, "Yes, I saw the wound on his body from the fangs. β
"And then how deep did you dig the hole?" Zhang Xu continued to ask.
Faraniel gestured and showed that the pit was more than a meter deep. "Finally I stepped on the soil, and after planting the turf back I drenched it with some water so that no one would find out."
"Are you going to harvest a dozen Snape in the fall?" Zhang Xu patted Faranire on the shoulder, "Snape is immune to all snake venom, he's just pretending to be dead." So the person who really killed Snape was actually burying him in the ground. β
"Really?" Faraniel jumped up from his chair, "Then I'll dig him out." β
"I'll go with you!" The one who joined in the fun was Blake.
Snape's affair didn't make a splash at Hogwarts, and the Aurors who were resting around looked dejected. When Zhang Xu passed by them, he frowned and whispered, "The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead." β
"Why don't you put on nice clothes and cheer everyone up." At this point, Fred Weasley didn't know where to come from.
"I have a giant cheongsam, super elastic, can you wear it?" George Weasley, of course, will not be absent either.
"Get out." Zhang Xu gave the two of them one kick each. Although his surname is also Zhang, he is not a doctoral student in immunology, so forget about the black and red-edged cheongsam or something.
"Why are you two here?" Zhang Xu asked.
The twins replied, "Mom has been helping out at the resettlement site for the past few days. β
"That's why we're living here."
"Otherwise, there will be nothing to eat when you go home."
"It's good that people are okay." Zhang Xu sighed, "Where are you going now?" β
Fred replied, "Now to move the people from the castle, we will go and inform the people now." β
George continued: "We're going to move the kids to the Muggle military base in Edinburgh and then come back to pick up the next group. β
However, the latest news came that the Death Eaters on Hogsmeade's side had a new movement, and they were now assembling.
"Zhang, when you go to that big plane, you must ensure the safety of the transferred people." Professor McGonagall gave Zhang Xu an order, which was also part of the Hogwarts evacuation plan.
It's just that Zhang Xu feels that he can't walk away at this time, and if something happens and he is not there, it will be a little troublesome. After some deliberation, he said to Professor McGonagall, "I must stay, and I can arrange for someone who can be reliable and strong enough to do the safety of the personnel there." β
"Are the personnel really reliable?" Professor McGonagall asked, a wizard of this level was not a cabbage on the side of the road.
After receiving Zhang Xu's repeated assurances, Professor McGonagall finally agreed to Zhang Xu's suggestion.
"So you're coming to us to work as coolies?" A photojournalist who had entered Hogwarts among the refugees looked at Zhang Xu with a bitter face.
"You're exploiting." The blonde reporter next to him protested.
It's just that the protest of the two of them finally failed because a certain Meiwa had to succumb to Zhang's hand and knife.
Now that the Hogwarts evacuees had been organized, the parents and their children followed the Hogwarts prefects through the secret passage in the foyer to the Dumbledore parking lot hidden in the mountains to the north.
"That guy with no nose is such a nuisance." Said the guy who was still taking pictures around with a camera along the way.
"You didn't have a nose before." Someone next to him answered immediately.
Zhang Xu, who was walking in front, turned his head and looked at the guy in surprise, "What's wrong with your nose?" β
"Alas~" the man said while changing the film, "The story of my nose is a long story, and I can't beat it in 100,000 words." β
Soon the group arrived at the parking field.
"I mean, who came up with this?" The camera in the photojournalist's hand did not stop.
"Dumbledore made it, I want to complain once I see it." Zhang Xu said, "Okay, you stay here alone, and follow the machine alone." The task of maintaining world peace is entrusted to you. β
"I'm going to play with my aunt." With that, the blonde trotted all the way to Dumbledore.
At this time, the guy who stayed at the airport said to Zhang Xu in a low voice: "Father-in-law, I heard that I still have two sisters-in-law?" β
"Get out!" δΉ(ΛΞ΅ΛδΉ)
At this time, the top of the cave opened like a lotus flower, revealing a blue sky.
"I'll go outside and keep watch." Zhang's son-in-law took off on the spot and flew out after speaking.
After complaining about the Dumbledore that took off vertically, Zhang Xu returned to the castle the same way.
Luchars Air Force Base, located fifty kilometers northeast of Edinburgh, was not far from Hogwarts, and the Dumbledore soon flew over it.
Under the hellish gaze of the ground crew, a shuttle-shaped guy landed vertically on the runway of the airport.
The British military personnel, who had been informed, quickly came to their senses, and they immediately arranged the evacuees who had disembarked from the plane to the freshly cleared hangar next to the runway, and provided water and food. In a temporary emergency, only a huge hangar can shelter so many people.
When Zhang Xu returned to the castle auditorium, he got the news that the Death Eaters were coming towards Hogwarts from several directions.
"How long will it take for the personnel to be transferred?" Professor McGonagall asked Professor Flitwick to the side.
Professor Flitwick, who was in charge of the transfer, said, "There are at least four more trips to get all of Hogsmeade's residents and junior students back. β
At this point, Scrimgeour said, "First the women, children, and the lower grades, then the elderly, and then the Hogsmeade adults, and then the last. β
"Zhang, it's up to you to command the students, I'll let others help you." Professor McGonagall said to Zhang Xu.
Scrimgeour continued: "Now our task is to stall for time, and after 3 p.m., Operation Tsunami is waiting to begin. β
Zhang Xu nodded, and left the auditorium with Neville and Daphne as the two student council presidents, around Snape, who was covered in mud on the ground. Neville accidentally stomped on his face.
Outside the gates of Hogwarts Castle, a group of students lined up on the lawn. Behind them was Hogwarts Castle, with the Basilisk Fountain in front of them, and Zhang Xu standing on the railing by the fountain pool.
These are the students at Hogwarts who have volunteered to join the Death Eaters resistance, as well as the "Battle of Hogwarts" over the years.
Yes, calendar years.
After Hogsmeade was breached and the Ministry of Magic was transferred to Hogwarts, the news that "Hogwarts is in danger, and the Death Eaters are coming to the city" spread throughout the United Kingdom through the radio.
After receiving the news, they spontaneously returned from all over Britain to join their former comrades, taking advantage of the fact that the Death Eaters were so frightened by the EPM bombs that they were suspending their attacks.
Zhang Xu looked at those familiar faces for a while, and then said in a loud voice:
"Everyone! I do not deny that now we are facing a huge dilemma. Now, we are facing our adversity, and many of our brothers and sisters have given their lives for victory. But as long as we stand, no one can defeat us! Today, we're adding another victory to the history of Hogwarts! We will be held in the highest esteem! β
"Do you see the scum outside the gate? See? Why do we, the bravest, take up a wand? Because in this way, we can teach those waste snacks a hard lesson. So that people in a hundred years can still talk about it! β
"How many of us who are watching the dawn will survive when night comes? I tell you: Hogwarts will see the twilight and win! β
"Tonight we will have feasting and drinking! Tonight we are going to tell each other about our heroic deeds! But before we can do that, we must defeat the enemy and let them know that victory belongs to Hogwarts! β
βGlory for the HogwartsοΌβ
βGlory for the HogwartsοΌβ Γβ
At this moment, the noise of students from Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Scrimgear, and Hufflepuff rushed out of the gate, over the lake, and into the Forbidden Forest.
Songs filled with indomitable momentum floated over Hogwarts.
We attacked the enemy with great force
The warrior strode forward
Behind us is a warm home
Hogwarts is more valuable than everything
We are in the fight
The most tenacious and heroic
Because Hogwarts is in my heart
The defense is unbreakable
The castle stood still
Vowed to sweep away the enemy
β¦β¦
At this time, Yuri, who walked out of the castle, slipped and almost fell on the lawn.
