The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 674 The Battle of Hogwarts ([-])

It was almost midnight, and Hogwarts was getting ready for battle.

Professor Flitwick, Sprout and McGonagall led the battle team to climb the three tallest towers - Ravenclaw Tower, Astronomy Tower and Gryffindor Tower - where the view is wide and the location is favorable, which is convenient for combat. magic.

Sirius and Lupine led the team into the playground, blocked the attack of the Death Eaters with their bodies, and built the most solid wall in front of the castle.

Someone needs to be organized to guard the entrances of the various passages entering the school. Fred and George volunteered to take over the task. The two brothers will complete the important task of guarding the entrances and exits together with the members of Lixiao.

The outside of the school will be defended by the Ministry of Magic. Mr. Weasley and Kingsley will be responsible for directing the battle outside the school, trying to keep the Death Eaters in Hogsmeade and prevent the flames of war from reaching the school.

The remaining students huddled in front of the podium, jostling for seats, waiting to be assigned teams and receive instructions.

Ada's eyes locked on Harry, she wondered what the 17-year-old Harry would choose between life and death.To die generously, or to choose to escape and live on mediocrity?
Based on what she knew about Harry, Ada already had a guess in her mind that avoidance was not in his character.It's just that Harry, who has just turned 17, is going to choose to die for the victory of the war, which is really cruel.

The students crowded in the auditorium dispersed and went to their respective positions, and the professors also performed their duties to guard this thousand-year-old castle together.

If you look out through the window of the auditorium, you can see the light of the spell rushing towards the night sky like meteors flying backwards, converging and consolidating in the blue velvet sky, forming a magic barrier to protect the school.

Professor McGonagall waved his wand and yelled, "Piertotum Locomator!" before walking up the tower.

I give you souls, move you forward, all loyal warriors!

All the statues and armor along the corridors jumped from their pedestals, and the same thing happened in every corner of the castle, judging by the echoes of the crash from upstairs and downstairs.

"Hogwarts is under threat!" Professor McGonagall yelled, "Stay on the perimeter of the school, protect us, and do your part for our school!"

With a clack and a yell, a horde of moving statues—including some animal statues—scurry past the students, some tiny, some larger than people, clattering armor brandishing swords and Conical balls strung on a chain.

"Professor McGonagall seems to like this spell?" Fred said. He, George, and Ada had already moved to them, and he was going to inspect the entrance and exit with his twin brother later.

Minerva McGonagall's usually serious face flushed, and she was faintly excited.

"I think so." Ada said, "Do you still remember the giant chessboard that guards the Sorcerer's Stone? Those chess pieces were endowed with 'souls' and 'missions' by Professor McGonagall."

"What a spell!" George snapped his fingers, and continued, "We should go, the task is difficult, Fred."

Fred glanced at the night outside the door and said, "Of course, George, let me enjoy this wonderful night!"

As he spoke, Fred looked back and searched in the hallway full of students. He continued, "Seamus, Seamus Finnigan! Let us see your talent!"

The sandy-haired Gryffin, who had been pushing his way through the crowd for years, said, "Um... Fred, George, do you really want to do that?"

The twins didn't answer, but Ada said, "Boom! Mr. Finnigan, art is explosions!"

This sentence is said by a famous neon architect, he is called the Picasso of neon.It's not the Pai Daxing who played self-explosion and didn't kill anyone.

After listening to Ada's words, Seamus Finnigan's face showed excitement, and it was the first time that Gryffindor's blasting wizard was praised for "exploding".

At this moment, a piercing, cold and clear voice appeared out of thin air, echoing over the castle and the playground, and no one could tell where it came from, as if it was the sound from the wall itself, as if a person who had been asleep for hundreds of years The beast awoke.

"I know you intend to fight." The voice full of murderous intent made many students feel scared, "I don't want to kill you, I don't want to spill pure blood. But since you want to die, I have no choice but to satisfy you .”

There was silence in the castle foyer, and this silence oppressed the eardrums. It was so huge that it seemed that it could no longer be accommodated by the hall.

"Now, the war begins," continued Voldemort's voice. "Death Eaters, kill everyone you see!"

Silence engulfed the people again, followed by another explosion, and the distant night sky seemed to raise a green signal flare.That ray of light exploded in the pitch-black sky—a huge, emerald-green skeleton appeared, and a large boa constrictor emerged from the skull's mouth.

Dark Mark!That was the signal for the Death Eaters to attack Hogsmeade!It is also the signal of this decisive battle!
Ada walked out of the castle step by step. She stood on the playground and watched the Dark Mark rise higher and higher.Ada was waiting, waiting for Snape to bring her good news, or bad news.

……

In Hogsmeade, more than a hundred Aurors were waiting in formation.They could see the green Dark Mark in the night sky more intuitively, because the mark was above their heads, right in Hogsmeade.

The Dark Mark once terrified the entire British wizarding world, and a wave of fear inevitably arose in the hearts of the Aurors.Despite this, none of the Aurors backed down. They were gathered here for the final battle, to stop the Death Eaters from attacking.

Sacrifice, many people are ready to sacrifice.

As the Dark Mark lifts off, the decisive battle begins.Death eaters, werewolves, giants, dementors, etc., the coalition forces under Voldemort's command flocked to Hogsmeade like a tide.

The footsteps of giants, the terrifying howls of werewolves, and the shouts of Death Eaters filled the village in all directions.

"Aurors, meet the enemy!" Mr. Weasley yelled.With a determined voice that was not drowned out by the shouts of killing, the Aurors raised their wands one after another, aiming at the enemies surging in the darkness.

Kingsley Shacklebolt took the lead, and a thick red light cut through the night, hitting the Death Eaters who were rushing towards him.

Screams, shouts, and screams of falling to the ground resounded in the small village instantly, and colorful spells also illuminated Hogsmeade as if it were daytime.

Fastest on the charge were the werewolves, howling at the Aurors, hungry for blood.However, the only thing that greeted the werewolves was the Aurors casting spells one after another, as if they were shooting in line, the werewolves fell one by one.

But the werewolves were not useless at all, they pulled the energy of the Aurors, making the Aurors unable to take care of the more lethal giants.

The giants with rough skin and thick flesh rushed forward. They waved the weapons in their hands and smashed at the Aurors who stood firm again and again.The giant successfully disrupted the Auror's line and disrupted the previous arrangement of the Ministry of Magic.

Suddenly, the weather in November became colder and colder, and the Aurors felt a sense of despair.Obviously the battle had just started, and even the Death Eaters were dragged into the village, but despair wrapped them up like a tide.

It's a dementor!Dense and countless dementors drifted into Hogsmeade with despair!
