Hogwarts Homecoming

This is probably the first time such an incident has occurred in the thousand years since Hogwarts was founded.

It may sound a bit absurd that three young wizards are "competing" with high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic in the Great Hall, but now people have paid attention to this. Even Professor McGonagall, who is usually the most rigorous and rule-abiding, has not expressed any objection. The only thing she is dissatisfied with is that she can't teach this annoying woman of the Ministry of Magic a lesson herself.

No professor is worried that the young wizard who has been trained by Amosita for a year will be injured by Umbridge.

Although they have never been involved in Amosita's training, the professors of various courses will communicate with each other about their teaching situation. They have heard Amosita describe the level of these young wizards.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the professors are one-on-one with students in physical education classes, they will suffer a great loss if they are careless. Now there are three facing one, so there is no need to worry at all.

"Hey, guys, place your bets!"

Fred pulled out a piece of parchment from his bag at some point, and shouted excitedly to the people around him,

"If you bet that the old toad can last for one minute, the odds are 7 to 1, if you bet that it can last forty to fifty seconds, the odds are 5 to 1, if you bet that it can last for thirty to forty seconds, the odds are 3 to 1, and if you bet that it can last for twenty to thirty seconds, the odds are 9 to 1!"

Servants gathered, and Harry grabbed seven or eight Galleons from his pocket and stuffed them into George's stretched cloth bag, gritting his teeth and saying,

"I bet she can only last one round!"

"Oh, cunning little guy, you want to make a fortune, right?" Fred said with a grin, "That means less than ten seconds, we can give you odds of 10 to 1!"

"You're a little impulsive, brother--"

Ron looked at the handful of contraband Harry threw into the bag with regret, sniffed and said.

"No——" Harry said stubbornly, "I believe they can do it!"

There were more than one such farce in the hall, and the professors were all watching the stage and did not stop it.

The terrible expression on Umbridge's face did not scare Hermione. In comparison, Umbridge was far less terrible than a lively dragon.

And Neville, who was also covered by Umbridge's ferocious eyes, looked eager to try, as if he couldn't wait to start a fight.

"Even Harasser doesn't like her."

Luna shook her dark golden hair and took the wand off her ears. She looked at Umbridge with her silver eyes, as if the sentence just now had explained everything.

"I will prove to you that the magic education you have received in the past is completely wrong. It is urgent for Hogwarts to carry out educational reforms!"

Umbridge said fiercely.

But Hermione and the other two ignored her threats. In the short time before Professor Brian started, they discussed their division of labor.

"I'm responsible for defense, Neville, you're the main attacker, Luna, you're the secondary attacker." Hermione squinted and whispered.

"I have no objection, Hermione." Neville said with a smile.

"Uh-huh!" Luna responded with a brisk nasal tone.

"Then!"

Amosta raised his voice, and he looked at the three little wizards with satisfaction. They did not show any nervousness under the gaze of many people.

"Are you ready?"

Hermione tightened the wand in her hand, Luna's wand turned a circle at her fingertips, bursting out a few shining silver stars, and Neville's hand also reached into his robe, making a gesture of taking out the wand at any time, and the three of them gave a positive response.

"What about you, Ms. Umbridge?"

Amosta had a faint smile on his lips.

"I think I need to remind you, Ms. Umbridge, that if you fail, you are out. Hogwarts will not give you the opportunity to participate in the 're-examination'."

Umbridge did not speak, but looked at him sinisterly.

Amosta knew that she was planning to teach the students he picked a lesson, so that she and all the faculty and staff of Hogwarts would be embarrassed, and finally put the responsibility of hurting the students on herself, because the proposal to compete with students came from him.

"I will count down to three, and then you will start."

Amosta said.

The auditorium suddenly became quiet at this moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on Professor Brain's raised hand. Even the dust floating in the sun seemed to be still at this moment.

"Three, two. Start!"

When it was just a wave, the condensed atmosphere in the auditorium suddenly dissolved, and the shouts that broke out in an instant almost overturned the ceiling!

Except for Amosta and Dumbledore, no one in the hall could remain completely calm.

The deans of the four major colleges and other professors had hurriedly left the staff table and squeezed to the front of the stage to watch the battle!

The moment Professor Blaine announced the start, Hermione, Neville and even Luna, with different expressions, became empty. This was not a daze, but a manifestation of extreme concentration.

This special state was developed by the young wizards when they fought against Professor Blaine in the spiritual world of Professor Blaine as a team.

The casting speed and duel skills of the world's top wizards can be imagined.

To fight against Professor Blaine, you must concentrate all your attention. If you are distracted, severe pain and "death" will follow!

Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, the three people who entered the duel state immediately adjusted their formation.

Neville quickly flashed behind Hermione, and Luna, who was originally standing beside Hermione, also quickly moved away from Hermione two steps, and put herself between Hermione and Neville.

This strange position puzzled many young wizards who were not familiar with it, but the students in the physical education class immediately understood it.

"They actually used the 'attack formation'--"

Harry said bluntly

"They think too highly of this pink toad. In my opinion, since Professor Braine has set the time, it is most reasonable for three people to attack. They are fully capable of dealing with the attack alone!"

Harry felt that Hermione and the other two were too cautious, but Umbridge, who became their opponent, had a completely different feeling.

The last second, she was still imagining how to deal with these three furry kids in her mind

Not only did she have to win beautifully and enter Hogwarts smoothly, but she also had to torture the three little furry kids severely before Dumbledore and Braine intervened, so that those who dared to go against the Ministry of Magic in Hogwarts would lose face.

The next second, the fierce momentum of Hermione and the other two in formation rushed towards her. Although they had not arrived yet, Umbridge already felt suffocated.

Moved!

Even in the jaw-dropping high-speed movement, the three still maintained the integrity of the formation, and the hidden sense of oppression in it made Severus, who put himself in Umbridge's situation, change color slightly.

The fight has not yet begun, but Umbridge has been defeated in the confrontation of momentum.

She subconsciously retreated half a step. She had not received professional confrontation training and instinctively shot a spell, but--

Bang!

The air wave rippled slightly!

An Shield Charm seemed to have been waiting there for a long time, and easily intercepted her magic.

Umbridge looked at the pale-faced warrior who was holding his wand. The Shield Charm just now was cast by her.

At this time, it was only three seconds before Brian announced the start of the contest, and the three young wizards from Hogwarts had already broken through half the distance between the two sides!

The huge sense of oppression tortured Umbridge's nerves. She couldn't understand why three furry children who would only rush towards her recklessly would scare her.

Perhaps the pressure stimulated her potential. Umbridge threw three spells in succession, two of which were aimed at Hermione, and one was aimed at Luna.

"Attack!"

The moment she caught the trajectory of the three spell lights, Hermione had made a decision, and she shouted in a clear voice.

Then, Hermione and Neville, who were in a line, suddenly crossed their bodies. Neville flashed to the left and approached along the arc, while Hermione appeared in front of Luna and suddenly swung her wand to disperse the spell light attacking Luna.

With the help of Hermione's body blocking, Luna, who disappeared from Umbridge's sight for a short time, flicked her wrist, and several silver "notes" emitted sharp whistles and arced in the air to attack Umbridge's left body!

At the same time, Luna and Hermione suddenly increased their speed and ran towards Umbridge's left side in the same arc, as if to outflank her.

"Armor protects!"

Umbridge raised her wand and screamed. The attacking notes and the little witch who also outflanked from the left unconsciously made her sight and body deviate to the left!

Clang!

But before she could be happy about using the armor to block the notes, a crisp clang suddenly sounded in the blind spot on the right side of her vision, which immediately changed her color!
