Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

“Exactly! If you ask me, all your worries are unnecessary. This is Anduin's club, how could it possibly be without us?” Fred reassured everyone, equally unconcerned. Search on Google for reading.

“The professors are so strict, they definitely won't show favoritism!” Hermione insisted with certainty. “You're not secretly slacking off because you're counting on that, are you?”

“How could we? Fred and I go to the range and the pitch to practice every day. We can now reliably hit moving targets 30 meters away, and we're also very familiar with parrying medium-speed magic bullets.”

George wasn't lying this time. He and Fred had been working incredibly hard recently, even practicing until very late every day because they didn't care much about school rules.

Of course, this was also related to their lively nature. Their training often turned into duels, which was a kind of alternative practice.

Harry and the others were noncommittal about the twins' words, as they were still more worried about their own situation.

After a month, Harry's entire demeanor had changed drastically. His body was no longer as sickly as before, but he still couldn't really be considered strong.

Neville looked the same as ever, mainly because he had received some training before the start of school. The basic physical training after the start of school didn't have much of an impact on him, but his spellcasting ability had improved quite a bit. At least he no longer fumbled when casting spells like he used to.

Ron and Hermione's various qualities were originally very average, and now they had each made progress.

But the biggest problem was that they couldn't see how much they had improved. The attributes and levels in the system would only change after a physical examination, so everyone always had a feeling of anxiety.

But as the twins said, they couldn't change the outcome now.

When they entered the Great Hall, they immediately felt a strong festive atmosphere.

Hundreds of bats flew around the entire hall, and dozens of huge pumpkin lanterns floated around, moving everywhere. These lanterns were clearly not ordinary; they were all magic lamps produced by Silver Gleam Industries.

At the same time, a row of musical instruments had been set up at the front of the hall, and the ones operating these instruments were actually skeletons. Although they looked a little scary, they were all wearing formal attire and looked very serious.

Harry and the others were infected by the lively scene as soon as they entered, and they couldn't help but smile. No wonder the twins were so looking forward to the Halloween feast; it really lived up to its name.

At this moment, Snape on the faculty table still had that gloomy look on his face, and even gave Anduin a dissatisfied glance, “You've brought so many alchemical props into Hogwarts, you must have made a lot of money from Dumbledore, right? I didn't expect you to bring your business into the school.”

“You really wronged me this time.” Anduin was in a good mood today. “Those magic lamps and instruments are all sponsored by me for free. If you like them, I can give you one after the banquet.”

“I don't want these annoying things.” Snape disdainfully swept away a pumpkin lantern that ran to his side with a wide grin. These alchemical props were like a bunch of annoying kids, always liking to get close to others and make faces.

“That's a pity. These new magic pumpkin lanterns are selling well during Halloween, and they're limited edition. Many people want to buy them but can't get their hands on them.” Anduin found it very funny to see those pumpkin lanterns surrounding Snape like flies smelling food.

“Can you make these ghostly things stay away from me?” Snape glared at Anduin irritably. He always felt that the other party was the one who made these broken lamps so annoying.

“They think you want to play with them. These lamps like to stick to noisy people. If you ignore them, they'll disperse after a while.” Anduin didn't admit his prank, but advised him in a serious manner.

In this atmosphere of universal jubilation, Hogwarts' Halloween banquet officially began. Dumbledore went all out for tonight's dinner, and all the ingredients were magical animal meat.

The young wizards naturally didn't stand on ceremony at this time, devouring the food. At the same time, Anduin's special guest, Setina Warbeck, also appeared.

After collaborating with Anduin's Silver Gleam Industries, this famous witch singer's career also began to take off. She was originally just a singer who enjoyed a reputation in the UK.

Anduin's magical phonograph and records gradually spread her singing to the entire wizarding world. Now she is a red-hot star in major wizarding communities in Europe.

Of course, in addition to Setina Warbeck, Silver Gleam has also developed several promising wizard singers, such as the mixed-blood vampire singer Loken Deis, but Setina Warbeck is still more famous.

While enjoying the festive atmosphere, Anduin chatted idly with Snape, “I heard you still like to make things difficult for Gryffindor students. Aren't you afraid of being hated for being so biased?”

Snape glared at him unhappily, “What does my Potions class have to do with you? Don't forget you came from Slytherin. If I were you, I would definitely take care of my own people in my class.”

“I don't like using houses to determine who are my own people.” Anduin smiled teasingly. “You should know that the one in charge of sorting is just a hat, and its judgment can sometimes be wrong.”

“Like you? Flitwick always thought you should belong to Ravenclaw.” Snape said, then glanced at someone on the Gryffindor table as if unintentionally, “You care so much about my class, probably because of certain people.”

Anduin naturally knew that Snape was referring to Harry, “That's Lily's child. Their eyes are almost exactly the same, aren't they?”

“Hmph, but his face is the same as that annoying father of his, disgusting!” Snape curled his lips unhappily, then grabbed a large piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth as if to vent his anger.

Seeing Snape like this, Anduin shook his head helplessly. When a person has both lovable and hateful parts at the same time, it's probably not surprising that he's as conflicted as he is.

Just as the banquet was proceeding smoothly, the door of the Great Hall was suddenly knocked open, and the loud noise even interrupted Setina Warbeck, who was singing.

“There's a troll in the dungeon! A twelve-foot-tall troll has broken into the castle!”

Professor Quirrell stumbled into the hall with a look of panic, hurriedly informing everyone, and then collapsed to the ground.

“Ah!!!”

Hearing such a terrifying message from Quirrell, the young wizards on the scene immediately panicked, and many young witches screamed in a daze.

“Silence! Don't panic!”

Dumbledore, who was sitting on the faculty table, immediately stood up and shouted loudly when he saw this scene. His voice, which had been magically amplified, quickly calmed everyone down.

But after issuing a warning to everyone, Dumbledore did not make further arrangements, but instead looked at Anduin next to him with a strange expression.

In fact, not only him, but everyone on the faculty table shifted their gaze to Anduin. This strange scene made the young wizards below a little confused.

Wait, a troll has broken into the school, why are you all looking at Professor Wilson?

“Is this what you call a safety drill? Choosing the night before Halloween, I'm not surprised at all.” Snape couldn't help but mutter in a low voice next to Anduin.

That's right, after Quirrell rushed in to report that a troll had broken in, the professors, including Dumbledore, immediately thought that this was Anduin's doing!

He said before the start of school that he was going to do some kind of safety drill, and he also reminded them that he wouldn't tell them in advance. Isn't this what he was talking about?

A troll attack!

So scary!

But it seems very likely to be fake! Quirrell, who fainted on the ground, might even be acting in cooperation with Anduin!

At this time, Anduin also realized that he seemed to be misunderstood, so he had to shrug helplessly, “This troll has nothing to do with me. If it were me, I wouldn't use such low-level methods.”

If I were to do a drill, I would definitely give you a big one. Who can be scared by a broken troll? Anduin couldn't help but complain in his heart.

“I see.” Hearing Anduin's reply, Dumbledore confirmed that this matter had nothing to do with him, but still took the initiative to ask, “How should we arrange things next? You decide, let's just treat this as a rehearsal for a sudden event.”

“Okay.” Anduin shrugged, speechless, wondering what was worth rehearsing about just one troll.

Although he looked down on the so-called sudden event, Anduin still stood up without hesitation.

“Everyone, pay attention!”

“Sixth and seventh-year wizards gather, divide into teams according to the standard action groups in the tactical training course, and then immediately disperse into the basement to start searching. After discovering the target, execute according to Article 2 of Chapter 4 of the tactical manual!”

“I want it alive!”

After Anduin stood up, his whole aura instantly became extremely cold, and his tone carried an irresistible pressure.

“Yes!”

After Anduin issued the order, all the sixth and seventh-year wizards who had chosen the tactical training course immediately responded, and then drew their wands almost simultaneously.

Then they formed teams with their companions nearby, and soon more than a dozen four-person teams were formed. Then these teams rushed out of the hall in an orderly but efficient manner.

“The rest of you, start forming teams according to the morning exercise formation, follow me, let's go to the scene to take a look. Fifth-year students are responsible for maintaining order, don't let anyone fall behind!” After saying that, Anduin left the faculty table with a mighty aura, taking the lead and walking out of the hall.
