Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs - Chapter 750
c91 Military discussion
“Hagrid!”
“Take Luna with you to the Forbidden Forest and ask the centaurs for help. If the giant spiders are unwilling to help Hogwarts, let the centaurs clear them out.”
“By the way, there will definitely be a Death Eater to contact the giant spider and get rid of him.”
Hagrid looked at Lu Ke and hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn’t say anything. He just silently took Luna and left.
“Neville, take Madam Pomfrey to move everything in the school hospital to the Room of Requirement and convert it into a field hospital.”
“Please note that when fighting within the castle, the wounded can be brought into the Room of Requirement for treatment.”
“The Room of Requirement is also the last line of defense. If the castle cannot be defended, then everyone will retreat to the Room of Requirement.”
“Neville, you know how the Room of Requirement will change. Remember there must be a line of defense in front of the hospital.”
Neville nodded quickly and rushed into the castle.
“George, go to the kitchen and tell the house elves to prepare food. We need a big celebration banquet after the battle.”
The twins nodded, and then walked into the castle gate together: “So you are so concerned about food, Lu Ke?”
They passed through the students at Hogwarts, drawing cheers of adoration. The twins were very popular at Hogwarts.
“Finally, Principal, I would like a word of permission.”
Professor McGonagall looked at Lu Ke and nodded: “If the exam is canceled for some reason, I will not agree.”
The crowd erupted in a roar of laughter mixed with disappointment.
Lu Ke also laughed.
“I hope Hogwarts can allow everyone who comes here to fight and protect Hogwarts to become a student of Hogwarts, just for one day.”
Professor McGonagall glanced at Lu Ke in surprise: “Of course, I allow it.”
After speaking, Professor McGonagall looked at Lu Ke: “You are included in this, Lu Ke.”
Lu Ke shook his head: “No, I won’t be inside, because then the protection will fail.”
Professor McGonagall sighed in disappointment.
Lu Ke smiled: “But don’t worry, it’s impossible for the Death Eaters to defeat me.”
Then he turned to everyone and raised his arms: “We are gathered together today to fight to protect Hogwarts!”
“This is the past of the wizarding world and the future of the wizarding world!”
“There is no way a madman who wants to destroy the school can rule the wizarding world!”
The crowd burst into wild cheers.
“Like every day here, the four founders are with you!”
“Gryffindor!”
The Gryffindors in the crowd cheered wildly.
“Hufflepuff!”
The cheers this time were less fervent, but there was strength in numbers.
“Ravenclaw!”
The cheers this time were much smaller.
“You can’t fight if you’re not full. A smart Ravenclaw should know how to get into the kitchen, so go eat now if you don’t have the energy.”
A slight laugh passed through the crowd.
But no one really laughed at Ravenclaw. Hogwarts now needs to be united. Besides, everyone here already knows what Ravenclaw is like.
“Slytherin!”
The response this time was more muted, but very organized, almost like an army with a small number of people.
Lu Ke glanced at Malfoy standing in the crowd in surprise, but said nothing.
“This is the last battle, for Hogwarts!”
Everyone shouted.
Then they took action.
The battle is about to begin.
Professor McGonagall walked up to Lu Ke with a smile: “Although it would be easier to open the main entrance, I will not allow Death Eaters to enter Hogwarts so easily.”
Lu Ke smiled helplessly: “Of course, Madam Principal, you have the final say.”
Professor McGonagall raised her hands and waved her wand in the air.
“Shidun is dispatched.”
Then Lu Ke was surprised to hear a dull loud noise in the castle.
“What?”
Soon Lu Ke saw the answer, which was the stone statues and armor originally decorated throughout the castle.
Professor McGonagall looked at Lu Ke proudly: “Look, there are things in the world that only the principal of Hogwarts can do.”
Lu Ke couldn’t help but laugh: “With these stone statues… maybe we can keep the giants out.”
He turned and glanced outside Hogwarts.
On top of the white snow in the mountains, there was a black patch like a sea tide. It was Death Eaters gathering together. There were so many of them that they covered the mountains and plains.
Among them are huge roars and long howls of wolves, which are the powerful allies that Voldemort has never used: giants and werewolves.
Professor McGonagall nodded: “We can try, but I will not allow students to take risks.”
As she spoke, she turned around and nodded to the professors behind her: “Send all the students below third grade away, and the others are ready to fight.”
Lu Ke quickly stopped the professors: “No, it’s too late. Hogwarts has been completely surrounded. We can’t allocate enough manpower to protect them and find a place for them to hide.”
Professor McGonagall hesitated for a moment, then nodded: “That’s fine.”
Then she nodded to the professors: “Let them go to the campus hospital to help, even if they can only put on bandages.”
The professors nodded and dispersed.
Professor McGonagall turned and looked at Lu Ke: “You go to the school hospital, Lu Ke, Hufflepuff’s potion is our best…”
Lu Ke shook his head without hesitation: “No.”
Professor McGonagall looked serious: “This is an order from the Headmaster of Hogwarts!”
Lu Ke shook his head helplessly: “But I have graduated, professor.”
He smiled and turned around: “Werewolves and giants are both dangerous. They are not the same as Death Eaters.”
Professor McGonagall was about to say something when she was interrupted.
It was a house elf.
Carrot and the chef stood in front of Lu Ke and shouted to him: “Lu Ke!”
“We can fight too!”
Lu Ke was helplessly silent.
Of course he knew about the magical power of house elves, but Lu Ke was still hesitant about letting them join the battle.
“You can help defend the castle.”
“No one knows the inside of Hogwarts better than you, so you can take things by surprise and protect the students at the same time.”
No matter what Lu Ke thought before, since the house elves were so determined, it was impossible for Lu Ke to change their minds.
No one knows the stubbornness of house elves better than Lu Ke.
Thinking of this, Lu Ke nodded at Carrot: “Also, you guys can serve as messengers by the way. First of all…”
“Let the mermaid tribe in Black Lake prepare for battle, and ask Hagrid to bring the Riem cattle over.”
Carrot and Chef nodded, then disappeared again with a pop.
Lu Ke breathed a sigh of relief.
