"Centaurs!" many of the girls screamed in fear.

After the experience of the "Centaur Riot" during the Christmas holidays, they began to have a disgust for the centaur creature......

Along with disgust, there is also fear!

The three prefects stiffened their heads and stood at the front of the crowd.

To be honest, the three of them were only fifth or sixth graders, and they weren't even adults (wizards were seventeen years old)...... The other people around him were all junior students in the second and third grades, and they had no combat effectiveness at all...... Trying to deal with the piles of adult centaurs in front of you can be said to be a fool's dream.

On the other hand, Professor Kettleburn was also beaten back by the two flying pig statues.

"Expellirarma!" A red-haired witch suddenly sprang out from among the centaurs, her wand aimed at Professor Kettleburn.

Caught off guard, the teacher of the Magical Beasts Protection Class flew with the wand in his hand and fell to the ground in embarrassment...... Two flying pig statues flew swiftly towards him, holding him down, unable to move.

Looking at the girl who suddenly appeared, the crowd began to talk -

"This woman ......"

"She's ......"

"Black Witch Lily Evans!"

......

Lily Evans's name is actually a "legendary" in a sense among the students of Hogwarts.

Although somewhat notorious.

As a well-known black witch, she has always been able to "get away with it" when the Ministry of Magic has wanted her for more than ten years and has offered a bounty of 5,000 Galleons...... It must be said that this is a "remarkable" achievement.

Naturally, her photos were all over the UK with the wanted warrant and became well-known to everyone.

However, it is inevitable that such a character will suddenly appear in front of them and cause panic.

Especially when she's with a hord of horrible horses.

They were joined by a hideous-looking, bearded, hunky man wearing an oversized mole fur coat......

"Don't be afraid, children," Lily Evans' voice was unusually gentle, "we're not here to hurt you, we're here to save you." ”

Cedric Diggory stood at the front of the crowd, and he mustered up his courage and asked with some hesitation, "But...... These centaurs ......"

A young centaur suddenly took a few steps forward, his hair was white and blonde, and he had the body of a silver-maned horse;

The centaur replied, "Centaurs never hurt cubs, whether human or centaurs...... Throughout, we have been extremely peace-loving creatures. ”

He took a few steps forward and raised his hand towards Cedric.

Cedric hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out, and they shook hands.

"My name is Ferenze!" said the centaur.

"The centaurs have lived in the Forbidden Forest for more than a year, and our ancestors lived here long before Hogwarts was founded!" Ferencze's voice was quite magnetic and pleasant to sound:

"For more than 1,000 years, we have lived in harmony with the teachers and students of Hogwarts...... Whether it's a witch hunt or a goblin rebellion, we're all standing with the wizards...... The centaurs have always been creatures of the world, we don't care much about material things, we can naturally live in extremely difficult environments, all we need is a small forest and an observable sky...... I thought that this relationship would last forever......"

“...... But with the arrival of that man, everything changed; Gellert Grindelwald!" Ferenze spat out the name with some difficulty.

"Unlike the previous Hogwarts masters, this is an alien Hogwarts master...... He's fierce, he's powerful, he's cruel...... He demanded the enslavement of the centaurs, the complete submission of the centaurs to the wizards, and even the centaurs' allegiance to him...... Naturally, we disagree, and then oppression and slaughter await us......"

“...... I don't know how many centaurs have died at his hands, and we have less and less room to live, even though the encroached forests are meaningless to the wizards...... Our foals were starved to death, the old people froze to death, and we survived hunger and cold because we didn't have enough food and forage......"

"That's why we think of rebellion, but even if we do, we have only one goal, and that is Gellert Grindelwald and his followers!" said Ferencze.

The young wizards looked at each other in disbelief, listening incredulously to what the horses in front of them were saying.

Indeed, the horses in front of them all looked yellow-skinned and malnourished, which is enough to prove that they are right

And, judging by their performance, it doesn't seem to be as brutal as the legend suggests...... So terrible......

"Yes, children," Lily Evans said as she took a step forward, "Ferencze is right!"

Matthew glanced towards the crowd and found Harry Evans in the crowd...... The boy was staring at the redhead intently, as if he was holding back from going over to recognize him......

"Due to the urgency of the situation, we may not be able to go into too much detail...... Lily continued, "but remember that Grindelwald is a very terrible man, and on the surface he seems to be defending everything about wizards, but in fact it is only for his own benefit...... He suppressed all non-wizarding creatures, from centaurs, house-elves, elves, to Muggles, and all wizards who disagreed with him...... That's what he stigmatized as a dark wizard...... It's all just for his ultimate good, and he's trying to rule the whole world!"

Fifty years ago, he murdered the former Headmaster of Hogwarts, Armando Duppet, and threw all the students and students who disagreed with him at Hogwarts into Newmongaard, his private prison...... He tried to brainwash you by usurping the throne and securing the position of 'Headmaster' of Hogwarts...... All this in front of me is proof of this!"

"See these two statues!" Lily pointed to the two statues of the flying pigs, "If you pay a little attention, you can see that they are the two statues guarding the gates of Hogwarts, and now, they have chosen to help us dark wizards and betrayers...... And the castle of Hogwarts, I think you should have felt it tremble just now, yes, it was angry, angry at those Grindelwald lackeys...... Your school is now on our side!"

There was some whispering in the crowd.

"I know that you are the future of the wizarding world, and I know that it may be difficult to change your minds in a short period of time......," Lily smiled and said, "but I just want to give you a piece of advice, as a former Hogwarts student...... What you see and learn in class may not be real, the world is much darker and more terrifying than you imagined......"

She waved at the horses, who consciously made way for the more than 100 Hogwarts students.

"Now, leave the Hogwarts campus and follow the avenue between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade to the wizarding village, where it will be safe!" Lily Evans exclaimed.

Then, with the horses and the big man, she turned and left.

They march in the direction of the castle!

......

The junior students who "survived the catastrophe" looked at everything that happened in front of them with some incredulity.

The "cruel" centaurs, the "terrible" dark wizards, let them go so easily...... They didn't even hurt Professor Kettleburn, they just let the two flying pig statues continue to hold him down.

Whispers began to sound in the crowd—

"Is that woman really the most notorious dark wizard in the lore...... She doesn't seem to be what she rumored?"

"yes, I think she's nice, gentle, and pretty......"

"And the horses, who don't seem to be as fierce as they are described in the textbooks and in the newspapers......"

"Are they telling the truth...... Those words about Principal Grindelwald......"

"But Hogwarts seems to be helping them!"

"If that's the case, it's terrible!"

Several boys tried to help Professor Kettleburn remove the two flying pig statues from him, but failed...... Although the Flying Pig statue did not attack them, it refused to move away from Professor Kettleburn.

Professor Kettleburn was also exhausted and fainted.

"What are we going to do?" said Penelo Clinwatt and Gamma Farley, two female prefects, who seemed unassertive.

"As Evans said, let's go to Hogsmeade first!" or Cedric Diggory finally decided, "at least it's safe over there!"

The mighty team of junior students began to walk towards Hogsmeade under the leadership of the three prefects.

Along the way, there were whispering discussions.

......

The middle and upper Hogwarts students, led by several teachers, walked through the gardens of Hogwarts Castle and followed another path to the second floor of the castle.

They don't seem to be able to leave the castle anymore, because the only exit from the castle, the gate, has been blocked by house-elves.

The slaves, who had been docile, now went mad and attacked their "masters".

Even the teachers didn't dare to storm the gate with their wands, for they feared that if they provoked the house-elves, it would be terrible if they started using the magic of the house-elves against the wizards...... You know, wizards know almost zero about the magic system of house-elves!"

"What the hell is going on?" said Fred Weasley, breathlessly, "Why did those house-elves become like this? Theoretically, they shouldn't be unable to disobey their master's orders, let alone attack them!"

There is no doubt that the situation that has arisen today is completely beyond their knowledge of the creature of the house-elf.

"I don't know," Lee Jordan said with a wry smile, he was already exhausted, "maybe they don't think of us as masters now!"

"Wake up, we've never been house-elf masters," corrected George Weasley, "and the only people who can really command those house-elves are the headmaster of Hogwarts, and maybe the teachers......"

George Weasley's words seemed to stop abruptly, and his face changed suddenly.

Fred Weasley and Lee Jordan were stunned.

The three of them, at this time, all thought of going together-

The Headmaster and teachers of Hogwarts are the owners of the house-elves, and the house-elves suddenly disobey their masters...... This means ......

"Guys, what are we going to do?" After a pause, Lee Jordan asked, "Find their maps of Pointed Fork, Big Foot, and Moon Face, and ask for a little help and get out of the castle quietly?"

"I think we should stay and see what happens next!" Fred said in a serious manner.

"Yes, that's it!" said George.

......

Professor Vita Rozier was not with the students.

Obviously, as the Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts, she knows exactly what the problem is!

After making her way through the garden to the second floor, she ignored the annoying rats and house-elves downstairs.

Instead, she walked straight in the direction of the principal's office.

Ten minutes later, she was in front of the huge stone monster that was so ugly.

With a flick of his wand, the stone monster moved aside, and Professor Rozier stepped into the spiral staircase behind the monster.

Like an escalator, it slowly ascended, higher and higher, until an oak gate appeared before her, with a brass knocker in the shape of a sphin.

In addition, the oak gate is not locked, but only hidden.

The Headmaster's office at Hogwarts, at this moment, it seems that outsiders have broken in.

Vita Rozier took out her wand and pointed at it—

The oak door opened, and she quietly entered.

Sure enough, the invaders are here!

A woman with an extremely serious expression, with square glasses on her face and an emerald green cloak, looked at Rozier with a somewhat disdainful gaze as she came in.

"McGonagall!" Rozier said coldly, "sure enough, I knew that it was a good thing you did again!

Rozier's wand was aimed at the woman in the principal's office.

"It's you who should run away, Rozier!" Minerva McGonagall sneered, "It's time for more than fifty years of grudges between us to come to an end!"

She also raised her wand and aimed it at Rozier.

A big battle between the two seems to be inevitable!
