Chapter 238: The Siege of Hogwarts (Part II)

"You mean the man is coming!" Slughorn looked horrified, but then calmed down - Dumbledore was still standing, and there was nothing to fear if Voldemort came.

"Boom!" Dumbledore couldn't sit back any longer, "Professors, come out with me!" At the same time, he pulled out his elder wand and fired an ultimate ward out the window, temporarily stabilizing Hogwarts' defenses.

A group of professors followed Dumbledore and hurried out of the lobby and looked condescendingly around Hogwarts - black shadows all over the hills, and on closer inspection, all of them were black corpses!

"Oh my God, what are these......" exclaimed Hagrid, who was at the front.

"That's what they're making the corpse for!" Dumbledore snapped into his eyes, but didn't look nervous, "I don't know what Voldemort wants to do......" he said to Slughorn and the others.

Lockhart was also confused, looking at the number of Yin corpses, it must not all be done by killing Muggles - Britain has not disappeared so many people this year, he probably turned over the entire British cemetery, and even drove out the Yin corpses in the cave where the Horcruxes were hidden, so he could gather so many Yin corpses.

But that makes no sense...... Thanks to the efforts of Lockhart and the Aurors, neither the giants nor the Dementors were able to help Voldemort attack Hogwarts, and there were fewer werewolves than normal, plus hundreds of Death Eaters of varying strength...... Can you beat Hogwarts?

You can't double it, because Dumbledore is still alive!

Dumbledore's brilliant brain didn't understand this question for a while, so he could only use the ultimate guardian again, strengthen the protective magic, and then turn to look at Snape, who was also dazed, "Do you know what Voldemort wants to do?"

"I don't know, Mr. Headmaster, but I think it might be some kind of conspiracy. ”

Voldemort's voice pierced through the air, and seemed to come from far away, and seemed to whisper behind people's ears, shaking people's ears: "The Ministry of Magic has been overthrown by me, and you have no backup...... Surrender obediently, no one will ......"

Dumbledore waved his wand, and a soundproofing spell melted into Hogwarts' shield, and Voldemort's voice disappeared instantly, as if it had never existed.

"He lied. Lockhart was still in a clear mind when there was no emergency: "I've reminded Scrimtuar that the Mysterio is going to be going to take action at the Ministry of Magic lately, and now the Ministry of Magic is doing a good job of defending - and, if he does breach the Ministry, he will definitely fix it up there, and then bring more wizards to surround Hogwarts instead of just the Dead and Werewolves." ”

"Gilderoy is right, if something really happens to the Ministry of Magic, it will definitely not be impossible to get out of the news, now we can contact the Ministry of Magic immediately to find out. Professor McGonagall nodded.

Lockhart took out his Auror card and tried to contact Gadwin, but found that the magic was ineffective: "What's the matter, I can't contact him, what spell did they use around Hogwarts, and the magic message can't be transmitted!"

"Look, the mystery man is there!" Professor Flitwick pointed in one direction, and from a distance of miles, they saw Voldemort in black robes, and a group of henchmen of the Death Eaters who followed him, Voldemort also looked in this direction, and his and Dumbledore's eyes seemed to collide in the air, and then he waved his sleeves and led the Death Eaters down the small mound.

"This means that they didn't breach the Ministry of Magic, otherwise they wouldn't have had to spend a lot of energy to cut us off from the outside world. Dumbledore smiled confidently, "But it's useless, the Ministry of Magic will definitely send someone to see if it finds that the direction of Hogwarts can't be contacted." ”

"Then what the hell do they want to do, demonstrate?" Slughorn asked suspiciously, "but this scene is not scary, although there are many corpses, they are not very useful, and the wizards on the other side are not even as many as the students of one of the schools and colleges." ”

――

Without giving them a chance to continue the discussion, the wizards on the opposite side attacked Hogwarts magic again, and hundreds of wizards attacked the defense at the same time, shattering the shield to the ground.

"Let's do it together. Dumbledore took the lead in casting the Guardian Charm, and all the other professors drew their wands and faced the sky, starting to maintain their shields: "Oversized Iron Armor." ”

――

"If it doesn't go on like this, the other side has more wizards than us, and our magic will be drained. The professors at the school did their best to maintain the guardian magic, and Dumbledore turned to the others and shouted, "It's far easier to break the defense than to maintain it, it won't last long, and we're going to have to fight a head-on battle!"

"Gildero, you can now call the 'army' that Harry has assembled to help. McGonagall held her wand and shouted to Lockhart.

Lohart nodded, took out the gold coins for contact, and got in touch with Hermione, telling her to lead all the H.A. members, put on protective gear, and assemble in front of the lobby.

More than a dozen professors were also injecting magic into the shields of Hogwarts, and most of them (except for Trelawney), when they were young, were quite famous young talents like Lockhart, and their years of teaching career did not waste their magical cultivation, and each one of them was a person whose ability was close to Moody's level.

But a powerful wizard can beat ten ordinary wizards with guò combat skills and body skills, which does not mean that he can consume ten wizards head-on in terms of magic power, not to mention that there are also many powerful Death Eaters on the opposite side. The protective shield above his head seemed to crumble under the blow of a huge number of spells, crumbling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Professor Dumbledore, can we help?" Harry finally showed up with a bunch of H.A. members, and asked Dumbledore with a flushed face, seemingly proud to be fighting alongside them.

"Harry, divide your classmates into groups and guard the towers and entrances to Hogwarts, and we just need to block them until the Ministry of Magic finds an anomaly and comes to the rescue!"

"Understood!" replied Harry excitedly.

"Don't call the other students, let the students who are not wearing protective equipment go back to the common room!Only in the sixth or seventh year, students with protective equipment are allowed to fight!" Dumbledore added sternly when he noticed that there were quite a few Gryffindor students in the crowd who wanted to join in the fun.

――

The students were instructed to follow Harry out to guard the important entrance to Hogwarts, but Hermione stayed behind and stood beside Lockhart, wanting to fight alongside him.

"Oh dear, just stay with Harry!" Lockhart squeezed her hand and quickly let go, Pandora was at school too, maybe she would run out to see what was going on. "Protecting yourself is the greatest help to me!"

"No, I'm going to be with you!" Hermione said stubbornly.

"That's enough, you've always been causing me trouble, have you forgotten!" Lockhart straightened his face suddenly, "Get in here, you don't want to kill me." ”

"But ......" Hermione still wanted to argue, and then remembered that every time she disobeyed, it would be bad. "Well, Gildero, you must protect yourself! ”

"Oh, baby, don't make it as good as life and death, hurry into the castle......"

Hermione's bold public gesture of affection drew the attention of several professors, but no one had the heart to joke about it now. After Hermione also left the clearing and entered the castle at Hogwarts, Dumbledore lowered his wand.

"Save some magic, we'll have to fight head-on later. Dumbledore looked at the shield that had accelerated at the speed of the collapse and said helplessly. Then turn around and face the castle.

"Stone out!" Dumbledore shouted as he stretched out his arms towards the castle like a conductor to his band.

A slight wave of mana rippled throughout the castle immediately caused a violent mana response inside the castle. In an instant, all the magic stored in Hogwarts Castle was poured into the statues and armor on the wall, and they all jumped off the stand as if they were alive, and stepped firmly on the ground.

There was a rumbling crash throughout the castle, upstairs and downstairs, and all the statues and armor did the same.

"Hogwarts is threatened!" Dumbledore commanded in a loud voice, "Hold the borders and don't let an enemy in!"

With a crash and shouts, a group of moving statues swarmed past the professors, the sculptures struggling to line up according to type, sonorous armor brandishing swords and chained wolftooth balls, all pouring towards the entrance.

"Amazing magic, as far as I know, this magic hasn't been used in over a hundred years. Professor Binns, the ghost who teaches the history of magic, exclaimed in a breathless voice, "This magic is designed to deal with the invasion of non-human creatures, and I was still alive when it was first used passively......

"That's right, but every time I use it, the headmaster struggles to replenish the sculptures......" Dumbledore joked happily, as if the shield above his head was rapidly crumbling at all, "Repair spells can't fix such a delicate magic prop." ”

"Will the mystery man rush in later......" Slughorn asked, sweaty and trembling. This made Lockhart shake his head disdainfully, this old guy's strength is obviously not weak, but he seems to be more timid than himself, it seems that the older he gets, the more afraid of death.

"I'll deal with him, no matter what, it was a stupid decision for him to attack Hogwarts......" Dumbledore subconsciously stroked his wand, "There must be something important that forced him to do this." ”

After all the professors stopped charging the shield, the shield collapsed faster, and it could no longer withstand Voldemort's last attack, and after a fluctuation of mana, it dissipated.

Along with the disappearance of the shield was the soundproofing spell cast by Dumbledore, and in an instant, the voices from the outside world were heard at Hogwarts: the Shadow Corpse Riot, the Werewolf Roar, and of course, Voldemort's Magic-infused Roar: "Kill them all!" (To be continued.) )
