489. No one can stand back
"Well done."
Scott gave George a thumbs up and whistled.
The giant wolf he rode over immediately jumped up from under the beating willow and ran to his side.
Scott got back on the wolf's back and waved at George.
"Keep here, I'll go find Professor McGonagall."
With that, the wolf began to gallop towards the castle gate.
Professor McGonagall remained alone inside the gate, with only a row of knightly statues standing neatly in front of her.
Scott arrives on a giant wolf, alerting the stone statues, who turn their heads in unison and raise their spears.
"Oh, Mr. Trollope!"
Professor McGonagall waved her wand, and the statues were alerted again.
"Professor McGonagall!"
Scott got off the wolf's back and reached out and pulled out the [Magic Mirror].
"I had the crow place the 'eyes' on the Ministry of Magic."
He explained.
"We'll see how the battle goes."
As he spoke, he tapped his finger twice on the mirror, bringing up the Ministry of Magic's surveillance footage.
In the picture, fierce fighting continues.
Voldemort and the Death Eaters were still kept out of the building by Dumbledore and the other wizards, and were never able to make it inside.
But the results were also disastrous.
Whether it is indoor or outdoor, both sides have figures lying on the ground without knowing life or death.
Professor McGonagall looked at the images in his glasses and frowned tightly.
"It seems that the battle on the Hogwarts side is on our own." She said solemnly.
Scott looked up at the large magical barrier that shrouded Hogwarts Castle.
He asked, "Professor, how much longer will our protective magic last?" ”
Professor McGonagall said, "As long as the enemy's attacks don't suddenly exceed the maximum amount of resistance they can withstand, the castle has a huge amount of magic that can last." ”
Scott saw that there was no relaxed expression on her face, so he said, "But the consumption is also very high, isn't it?" ”
"That's right."
Professor McGonagall nodded slightly.
"The magic power of the castle is not in a normal cyclical state, but is slowly depleting the mana source, so we can't be beaten passively all the time."
Scott told her about the four "summoned beasts" he had released and the results he had achieved.
Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Trollope, as your professor, I should criticize your risk-taking."
At this, the serious expression on her face softened, and a smile appeared.
"But I still want to praise you for a job well done."
"Barty Crouch Jr. and Bellatrix Lestrange were both notorious Death Eaters, and they probably commanded the siege of Hogwarts."
She also briefed Scott on the professors' arrangements.
In addition to Professor McGonagall, Professor Sprout and Professor Hagrid were on the Forbidden Forest.
Professor Slughorn and Professor Sinista stand guard on the steps of the Black Lake docks.
Professor Flitwick and Professor Babling stood guard at the entrance to the pier.
The rest of the professors, Professor Victor, Professor Bubbaghi, Professor Trelawney, and Filch, patrol the castle together.
After listening to this, Scott said to Professor McGonagall, "Professor, maybe I should go out again......"
Just then, there was a loud bang in the direction of the trestle, and he turned his head to see the storm rolling up a raging flame.
Scott quickly turned into a peregrine falcon and flew into the sky and saw the collapsing trestle.
Horus and Edgar flew over the pier together, the wind and flames staggered and destroyed the wooden pier, and the vampires who attacked the castle from the pier brought a strange magical creature.
The creatures were draped behind them as cloaks, and they flew with them as well.
Scott thought for a moment before he remembered the name of that unusual magical animal, Voldemort.
He continued to observe, and while the vampires could fly on the ground bats, they were still not a threat to Horus and Edgar.
Horus and Edgar flew much faster than them, and were able to avoid their spell attacks.
The two "summoned beasts" worked together tacitly, Horus used the wind to interfere with the flight of Voldemort's bats, and Edgar took the opportunity to attack with the line of fire, killing the two vampires in a short time.
The vampire attacked by the scorching fire line is like a flammable mass that has been ignited, and directly turns into a large fireball and falls from the sky.
Seeing this, Scott was basically relieved about the situation of the battle over there.
As dark creatures with many legends in Muggles, vampires are actually not as good as wizards or werewolves in their combat ability.
The only advantages they have are a long lifespan, an ageless appearance, and a strong resilience after injury.
Of course, all this comes at a cost, they have to suck blood to maintain this ability, and they are also restrained by fire.
Scott turned his gaze out the door.
The sneak attack he assigned to Gorzan also looks to be paying off well.
Gorzan, who can freely enter and exit the ground, is a haunting man, coupled with the extremely strong rock armor and the fierce toxins in his mouth, which makes the group of werewolves a little overwhelmed.
After a while, several werewolves had fallen to the ground due to poisoning.
But those giants are a little tricky.
Scott watched Gorzan choose from the ground to bite the giant's heel, but the wound was not deep, and its toxin didn't seem to work on the giant's too strong body.
Other than that, the fighting in the Black Lake has almost subsided.
For Sirein, the battle in the Black Lake can be said to be a veritable fish in water.
At this time, the lake was already full of floating corpses.
The water snakes that were entangled in the giant octopus had also been cut into several pieces by the water blade.
The merfolk of the Black Lake raised their weapons in celebration of their victory.
Sirein swam quickly in the water, its towering dorsal fin like a sail riding the waves.
The battle in the Forbidden Forest Scott is not visible, but can be imagined.
Without the difficult giants, he believed that the centaurs and Thestrals could take care of the trolls.
Looking at it this way, the situation of this war has become clear.
Voldemort wanted the dark creatures to attack Hogwarts, but his plan had all but failed.
Of course, the main reason is probably that Hogwarts Castle's protective magic is beyond his impression.
Scott landed from the sky, took on a human form, and reported to Professor McGonagall about the battle outside the castle.
"Thanks to you, Mr. Trollope."
Professor McGonagall said happily.
"If you don't come back, we're going to have to go completely defensive for the safety of the students."
For the first time, Scott also really realized that for an enemy who was not out of line, the "summoned beast" he made was simply too good.
Of course, he was also sober.
"Summoned Beast" is only aimed at enemies with unqualified strength, and there are also unexpected factors, so it will have such a perfect performance.
If they were powerful, enemies like Voldemort, they wouldn't be as useful.
Just then, he saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione running out of the castle.
"Professor! Professor McGonagall ......"
"Oh my! It's Scott! ”
"When did you come back?"
All three were surprised to see Scott.
"Potter, Weasley, Granger!"
Professor McGonagall was visibly angry.
"I think you should be in the common room instead of running around at this time!"
"Professor, we've caught the guy who made a fuss." Harry exclaimed.
"Malfoy, bastard!"
Ron said angrily.
"Malfoy and his henchmen attacked their classmates guarding the entrance to the secret passage on the third floor, and it is clear that those disgusting little Death Eaters want to lead the way for our enemies!"
"Yes, Professor."
Hermione spoke very quickly.
"George noticed their anomaly, and he rushed over, and together we subdued the Slytherins."
"A few of the professors who stayed in the castle took care of them."
"Most of the Gryffindors are guarding the secret passages, and the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students have gone to Slytherin to prevent anyone from causing trouble."
"The three of us are here to report the news."
Professor McGonagall's expression became unsightly.
"This matter can only be dealt with later." "Now, tell the others and be optimistic about them," she said. Also, don't clash with Slytherin! ”
"Go tell Professor Slughorn."
Scott said to them.
"He's on the docks of the Black Lake, and besides, the battle in the Black Lake is over."
"Professor Slughorn?" Harry immediately looked skeptical, "He's the head of Slytherin. ”
Ron and Hermione were also a little reluctant.
Obviously, they didn't trust Slughorn very much.
"Professor Slughorn is absolutely credible." Professor McGonagall said, "Go ahead, go to him, he'll take a good look at the Slytherins." ”
"But ......," Harry was still reluctant.
Professor McGonagall said, "You should trust Dumbledore's judgment. ”
"Dumbledore used to believe in Snape." Ron muttered unconvinced.
"Snape......" Professor McGonagall was a little speechless.
"Don't worry, Professor Slughorn is not the same as Snape."
Scott said in the affirmative.
"After a semester, you should know him well."
Hermione nodded thoughtfully.
"I see, let's go!"
She dragged Harry and Ron towards the docks.
After the three of them left, Scott took out the [Magic Mirror] again and looked at the battle on the Ministry of Magic.
"Oh...... Voldemort: They retreated! ”
In the surveillance footage, Voldemort and the Death Eaters have already begun to fight and retreat, and they are about to retreat into the fog.
Scott remembered Bellatrix Lestrange who had fled.
"Maybe Voldemort already knows what's going on here."
He turned to Professor McGonagall.
"We have to be wary of him coming over here out of nowhere."
It's possible that Voldemort's target is Harry, and it's very likely that he will suddenly hit a time gap while Dumbledore is still at the Ministry of Magic.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly switched interfaces and sent a message to Dumbledore.
In the surveillance footage, Dumbledore suddenly stopped.
Subsequently, the Ministry of Magic and the rest of the Order of the Phoenix also stopped.
They watched as Voldemort and the Death Eaters quickly retreated into the fog, and then the apparitions vanished.
At the same time, Scott has heightened his vigilance.
He directly transformed into a peregrine falcon and flew into the sky, closely observing the various places outside the castle.
Unexpectedly, Voldemort and the Death Eaters appeared directly outside the castle gates.
Scott hurriedly asked Gorzan not to reappear first, and then landed and turned back into a human form.
"They're coming! Right outside the door! ”
He said loudly to Professor McGonagall.
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge black marker burst out of the door like fireworks, staining half of the sky green.
It didn't take long for the dementors roaming the sky to converge towards the location marked by the Dark Devil, and the vampires on the other side of the pier flew over in voldemort bats.
Horus and Edgar followed Scott's orders and did not follow immediately.
Immediately after, a thick black mist flew into the air from outside the door, and Voldemort exposed his upper body in the black mist, looking at Professor McGonagall and Scott condescendingly.
He didn't speak, just smiled contemptuously, and raised his wand in his hand.
"Oh...... Our protective magic doesn't know if we'll be able to stop his attacks. ”
Professor McGonagall whispered nervously.
"Anyway,, you must get back to the castle first, immediately."
Scott didn't move.
"Even if I run back to the castle now, it's too late, Professor."
He didn't plan to run, he just looked up and stared at Voldemort tightly.
Voldemort's hand holding his wand shook, and a blinding red light burst out like lightning, striking the silver barrier of magic, causing ripples.
At the same time, the Death Eaters also struck.
Spells flew up neatly, all striking the barrier of magic.
Scott looked back, for some unknown reason, anyway, Dumbledore hadn't come back yet.
He decisively drew his wand and waved it at the knight's statue guarding the doorway.
"Grow faster!"
A stone statue of a knight swelled rapidly, turning into a ten-meter-tall colossus in the blink of an eye.
Professor McGonagall, who came to her senses, waved her wand as well.
At her command, the Colossus stretched out a huge palm and pressed it to the location of the magic barrier where Voldemort was attacking.
Voldemort opened his mouth and spat out dark red fire, which was difficult for ordinary wizards to control, tamed like ordinary flames in front of him, and instantly turned into a giant python, opening its mouth and biting on the magic barrier.
Scott used the Expansion Charm in quick succession, turning several other knight statues into colossas in case they were needed.
"Resisting this level of attack, the mana consumption is too great." Professor McGonagall said with a solemn expression, "If it goes on like this......"
It may be that there is too much movement here, and after a while, the students in the castle and the professors who are guarding other directions are running over here.
Everyone looked up at Voldemort's attack, and at this moment no one spoke, and most of the people's faces turned white.
"Stand back!"
Professor Flitwick shouted and waved at the students.
"All students stand back!"
Some of the students obediently began to retreat, but some stood still and did not move.
"No, Professor!"
George in the crowd shouted.
"This is the battle to defend Hogwarts, and none of us can afford to back down!"
