Hogwarts Homecoming

Boom!

The ground shook, and the thousand-year-old castle also shook with it. The gravel fell like rain, and the little wizards in the auditorium screamed again and again.

It wasn't until he saw Harry and his entourage rushing down the stairs that Severus' livid expression softened.

His wand slashed down sharply, and a cold light flashed in the sky above the auditorium. The stinky liquid that swayed down filled the auditorium with a disgusting stench.

"Where are the others!"

While clearing the way for Harry and others to go downstairs, seeing that Minerva and others were missing from the crowd, the taciturn Severus couldn't help but change his expression and shouted sharply.

"They went to the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor towers to rescue the students who couldn't escape!"

Professor Slughorn shouted breathlessly. He was firing spells hurriedly and shouting,

"They told us to hold on for twenty minutes!"

Boom!

Amidst another roar, the bone dragon crowded in the foyer slashed with its wings. The hard rocks flew like powdered snow, and half of the foyer collapsed.

"Hang on!"

The barrier built by the strikers also showed shocking cracks in the impact of the poisonous horned beast, and red blood stains oozed from the corners of the mouths of several strikers!

"Hold it back!!!"

Kingsley roared like crazy, and the strikers roared in unison, staring at the charging beast in front of him with splitting eyes, and the wand in his hand spurted out an even more dazzling bright light!

brush!

Neville jumped from halfway up the stairs, slashing through the void with his silver blade. When he landed, he took away the head of a hippogriff that was surrounded by ghosts.

Hagrid will be sad about this!

Such an idea suddenly crossed Harry's mind, and immediately, sadness emerged from his heart!

He also roared and jumped from the air like Neville, pointing his wand directly at a Xinkpunk that got in through the hole in the front wall!

That monster is different from the ordinary frail Xinkpunk. It has one thick leg, sharp claws, and the fluorescent light emitted by the tentacles on its head exudes extraordinary bewitching power!

"Look at this!"

Harry finally knew the origin of the mutated hinkpunk that Professor Blaine got when he was Remus' substitute teacher in third grade.

Facing the monster that had caused the little wizards a lot of trouble, Harry was not afraid. He shouted, and the thick red cable flying out from the tip of the staff actually entangled the Xinkepon like a rope. Gram, then--

Bang!

Harry raised his wand high, with a stern look in his green eyes, and fiercely smashed the Xinkpunk that he had lifted into the air into the ground!

The huge chandelier that collapsed on the ground floated up, and the sharp thorns cut through the space and nailed the dying Xinkpunk to the ground.

Harry looked back and saw Ron holding his wand, his face pale and panting.

"Well done, Ron!"

Harry praised loudly, but Ron just grinned and smiled weakly.

Even the protected little wizards were using their weak magic to attack the monsters that broke into the hall.

As Harry and his party joined the battle, the situation seemed to have improved. But everyone knew that if they stayed here, everyone would die!

"Shidun is dispatched!"

Boom, boom, boom!

During the fierce battle, a high-pitched chanting sound suddenly came from upstairs, and cold sculptures jumped down from the wall, turning into killing machines to clean up the monsters in the auditorium!

Even Sirius couldn't help but give Professor McGonagall a sideways glance!

"Sirius!"

Harry screamed in surprise, his anxious heart finally calming down.

A dozen stretchers floated down the stairs behind Sirius and his party, all young wizards from Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.

Gryffindor's was fine, but the serious injuries were nothing more than a bloody head injury and a broken leg bone.

Harry rushed over and took a quick glance. One of Marietta's good friends' arms was covered in blood. He could only tell from the weak rise and fall of her chest that she was still alive.

"Show her, Poppy!"

Professor McGonagall shouted, and then Madam Pomfrey, who was also protecting the young wizard, hurried over.

Bang!

The sudden shaking made Harry almost think that the castle had collapsed, but——

"What the hell is that!"

Fred's horrified cry drew Harry's eyes to the hall.

A thick black tentacle squeezed into the hall and effortlessly swept away the Bone Dragon and Poison Horned Beast that hit the barrier!

Click, click, click!

In a heart-breaking crunching sound, the bones of the huge bone dragon and poison horned beast were crushed and turned into powder!

If that thing was also a monster, then Harry thought that they could surrender and wait for the killing to come.

Fortunately--

"It's the squid in the black lake!"

Parkinson's screams of surprise from the crowd made Harry feel for the first time that she wasn't so annoying.

And the scene that happened next made Harry's heart drift to heaven!

It's Hagrid!

When the squid retracted its tentacles, Hagrid's huge figure stepped through the ruins and broke into the auditorium!

He looked miserable enough.

The moleskin coat on his body has been stained red with blood, and there is a broken bone spur stuck in his shoulder. The rolled flesh on his cheek is bleeding, but--

Hagrid is alive!

When Harry screamed in surprise, Grawp had already rushed over. He ignored Hagrid's screams of pain and hugged his brother!

"Hey, stop, I'll die in your hands, Grawp!"

Hagrid wailed.

"Hagrid!"

Sirius also shouted in surprise,

"You're alive!"

"Oh, the bone dragon cushioned me when I fell, so I didn't fall to death!"

Hagrid grimaced in pain.

"There were more monsters out there than there were carnivorous slugs in the cabbage patch and I thought I was dead, but the squid in the lake saved me!"

Through the collapsed doorway, the little wizards saw the giant squid waving eight terrifying tentacles, fighting against the monsters that kept coming up!

"What do you say now, Kingsley!"

There wasn't much time to reminisce and rejoice, so Sirius turned to look at Kingsley next to him who finally had time to take a breath.

"There's a plan!"

Kingsley wiped the sweat from his forehead, swallowed and said,

"I sent a signal to the ministry with my patronus. I think they are gathering people and heading here now.

As long as Amosta and the others can block the monster in the sky, we can strengthen the castle and hold on until it lasts."

Boom, boom, boom!

Seven or eight heavy roars sounded in succession, cutting off Kingsley's words.

People's eyes peered out through the holes in the wall. When they discovered what caused the shock, everyone turned pale, as if they were mourning for their heirs. Even Kingsley stopped mentioning his plan to defend the castle.

"Huhu. Huh."

Harry gasped with his mouth open, but couldn't say a word.

As far as the eye can see, there are seven or eight giants.

Not like Grawp, but the kind of skeletal giant that swept across everything that appeared in the Battle of Diagon Alley!

Each one of them is almost as high as the ceiling of the auditorium. After they slowly slid down the body of the Whomping Willow, they walked toward the castle. Every step made the earth shake!

It is impossible to defend the castle, and it cannot even withstand the first wave of impact from these Titans!

Even the giant squid blocking the door can only trap one or two Titans for them at most, but it is absolutely impossible to stop them all!

Breakout!

If you still want to live, there is only this way. Staying in the castle is just a dead end.

A clear understanding emerges from the bottom of everyone’s heart!

Even now that additional personnel from the Ministry of Magic have arrived, they still need to break through the monster blockade!

The Titans are approaching, and there is no time to discuss proper tactics.

"The squid will rush to the front to clear the way for the students, the strikers will protect the left wing, the Hogwarts staff will protect the right wing, the ghosts will protect us from the enemy Minerva above our heads, and the statues you control will follow us. Everyone behind you!”

Sirius took a deep breath and scanned every fearful and immature face with his blood-red eyes, without spending much time on Harry's face.

"Come out together!!!" (End of this chapter)
