The Admiral of Hogwarts

As Hugo and the ship girls emerged from their box, they happened to see the Weasley family also leaving their box. Upon meeting, the Weasley twins expressed their gratitude.

"Good thing you stopped us from betting, or we would have lost all our capital!" Fred said excitedly to Hugo.

"I never thought Lin Qi could actually catch the Golden Snitch before Krum. We always thought he was no match for Krum," George said, shaking his head. "If we hadn't listened to you and bet, we would have lost all our money."

"Actually, I didn't think of that at the time. I just thought that if only Ludo was taking bets, there was a high probability he wouldn't be able to pay out if you won," Hugo said with a shrug and a smile.

After leaving the stadium, Hugo and the others said goodbye to the Weasley family and Sirius, then headed towards their campsite amidst the hustle and bustle.

As they walked back along the lantern-lit path, rough voices sang in the night sky, and leprechauns darted back and forth above them, waving lanterns and cackling with laughter.

Finally, Hugo and the others returned to the campsite. But no one planned to sleep. Instead, several aircraft carrier ship girls began launching planes to scout the area.

"Is a war about to start? Who is the enemy?" Hermione asked, turning to Hugo with a bewildered look as Saint George and several ship girls pointed at the sandbox in the tent.

"We don't know who the enemy is yet, but this is just a drill for a possible emergency," Hugo said softly, then added, "Think of the Hillsborough Stadium disaster."

The Hillsborough Stadium disaster occurred in 1989 when over 2,000 Liverpool fans surged into the standing-room area during a match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.

The stadium, which could hold 54,000 people, was already near capacity, leading to a large-scale stampede in the crowded conditions, resulting in 96 fatalities.

This event dominated the headlines of various British media outlets at the time, and Hermione was certainly aware of it, coupled with Britain's infamous football hooligans. So she quickly understood why everyone was so nervous.

Everyone was assigned a task at this time. The main battleship ship girls were responsible for the assault task, controlling potential troublemakers. Hugo and the others were assigned marginalized tasks, such as guiding the crowd or rescuing people.

Just in case, Hugo and the others simply didn't sleep, but instead chatted around the campfire outdoors. Doing so wasn't conspicuous at this time, as many people were not asleep.

Even after 12 o'clock in the morning, they could hear singing and strange collisions coming from the various campsites not far away. Compared to the celebrations of ordinary people, the wizards' activities were obviously much louder.

"Venus said that Hogwarts will host the Triwizard Tournament, which has been suspended for hundreds of years, so Hogwarts will definitely be very lively this year—" Intrepid said, drinking black tea and talking about some news circulating among the ship girls.

However, just as she was speaking, Javelin's voice suddenly rang out in the admiral's network.

"Someone is preparing to attack the campsite warden's family. We have already engaged them!"

"Everyone, prepare to move out now," Enterprise took over command at this time and transmitted the information to everyone's ears through the admiral's network.

Under her command, everyone except the rear guard drew their wands and rushed into the darkness outside the campsite.

According to the plan, they would use this time difference to quickly deploy to the previously determined areas, so that they could carry out their tasks as soon as the riot spread.

"It feels really exciting now," Hermione said as she walked with Hugo towards a nearby tent area. "How many times have you and everyone else carried out such tasks before?"

"Seven or eight times, maybe. After all, it's impossible for everyone to obtain such a large family peacefully. And as the admiral who can amplify everyone's strength, I sometimes have to help."

"Then I'll follow you in a while." After hearing her brother talk about his past experiences, Hermione took a breath and relaxed.

After all, when facing the unknown, it is obviously better to have someone to guide you than to stumble around aimlessly.

Just as Hugo and Hermione were chatting and heading towards their battle positions, the battle of the three ship girls working in the British Ministry of Magic had entered a fever pitch.

The three ship girls used the warden's residence as cover, desperately resisting the dozen or so black-clad figures outside, wearing hoods and masks.

Fortunately, because both sides were somewhat cautious at this time, everyone only used some simple spells and did not use too many large-scale destructive methods.

"The other party is now advancing towards the main camp area." After exchanging fire for three or four minutes, Javelin watched the gradually weakening spell attacks outside and quickly notified the others through the admiral's network.

The reason why this group of former Death Eaters did not choose to launch a strong attack was simple. After all, they just wanted to show their existence after drinking too much, so there was no need to fight to the death in this place.

"It's starting." When Hugo and Hermione received the notice from Javelin relayed by Enterprise, they had just arrived at a pre-arranged intersection and happened to see a ball of fire rising from not far away.

With bursts of explosions and the flames rising, the camp area suddenly became chaotic. Countless people ran out of their tents, then began asking each other what had happened.

However, they quickly realized that now was the time to run, because the flames and chaos were getting closer and closer, and only the woods seemed relatively safe.

"Everyone can go to the woods to hide for a while." Seeing everyone running around in a panic, Hugo and Hermione began to shout at the top of their lungs.

Perhaps because of the Order of Merlin, First Class medal hanging on Hugo's chest, the people around them subconsciously ignored their age after noticing this, and then followed Hugo and his sister's instructions to take refuge in the woods.

However, even so, much chaos was still unavoidable. Especially when the surrounding lights dimmed at this time, and the starting point of the fire got closer and closer to them, everyone's anxiety became more and more intense.

Finally, when a black-clad figure turned towards this area, everyone present could no longer restrain their inner tension and ran frantically towards the seemingly safe woods.

"Damn it!" Seeing the situation on the field now, Hugo and Hermione rushed towards the black-clad figure who was laughing wildly in a hoarse voice and setting the surroundings on fire.

Just as they approached the black-clad figure, a blonde girl, who was obviously disoriented in the chaos, suddenly rushed out from the gap in a tent, and then was pushed by the crowd and fell not far from the black-clad figure.

When the black-clad figure saw this scene, he immediately raised his wand and pointed it at the girl.

"Careful!" Seeing this situation, Hermione's eyes widened suddenly and she released a Stunning Spell at the black-clad figure, then took advantage of the black-clad figure's dodge to quickly run a few steps to the girl's side.
