Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

After Anduin's explanation, the teachers and students present nodded thoughtfully. They had never considered similar questions before, instinctively believing that Hogwarts was the safest place. Today's invasion drill had awakened them from their dreams.

"At the same time, this alarm system can not only serve invasion events, but also report accidents to the whole school in the form of alarms, thereby reducing casualties and losses." Anduin said, glancing at the professors intentionally or unintentionally.

"For example, I remember that during a mime performance at school the year before last, an accident caused a fire in the school hall, filling it with smoke and scenery debris. That accident overcrowded the school hospital, and the actual casualties were much worse than today's drill."

"So in a sense, even without external invasion, Hogwarts is by no means a particularly safe place!" Anduin said realistically, but he did not directly point out the culprit of that accident.

However, the others present were not fools, and their memory had not deteriorated to that point, so they couldn't help but glance at Professor Kettleburn in the faculty. The latter scratched his head awkwardly.

"What? Has there ever been such a serious accident at Hogwarts before?" Harry in the crowd looked curiously at the Weasley twins next to him.

"Yes, Kettleburn was responsible for providing a giant 'earthworm' for the mime. So he used a magical enlarged fire-crab, but this fire-crab suddenly exploded on the stage," George said, recalling the scene.

"That accident not only injured a large number of teachers and students, but also almost blew up the auditorium. The pungent burnt smell in the auditorium gradually dissipated after several months," Fred added at this time. "Professor Kettleburn also entered probation again because of this. Speaking of which, that seems to be his sixty-second probation, right?"

"Ah? Is Hogwarts so dangerous?" Ron swallowed nervously, then couldn't help but glance at Professor Kettleburn again. He secretly made up his mind that he would never take this professor's class.

"It seems to be true," George nodded, finding it a little funny. "Although no one has died, there are always some accidents every year, big or small. Although most of them are students causing trouble themselves, the school hospital is never empty."

"The way you put it, I suddenly understand why Professor Wilson wanted to do a safety drill. In comparison, maybe fewer people were injured this time," Hermione complained speechlessly.

Anduin's example did evoke everyone's memories, so the resentment towards him for suddenly launching this drill was reduced a lot.

At least in this simulated invasion drill, everyone was more frightened than injured.

"In addition to the alarm system, this drill also exposed the fact that you lack sufficient judgment and adaptability when danger comes," Anduin continued.

"For example, many younger students, after witnessing the Dark Mark, some actually stood there, casually admiring the mark as a scenery. The first to be severely criticized here are the first-year students of Gryffindor and Slytherin!"

Anduin's eyes swept sharply over Harry and Malfoy, "When facing unknown risks, the first priority is to ensure your own safety, but what about you?"

"It was only a few minutes away from the main castle, but you didn't know to evacuate and hide, and you were still in the mood to joke about the Dark Mark. Don't think I didn't see it!"

"The final result has also proved to you that without the ability to protect yourselves, you are completely vulnerable in the face of vicious invaders. If this was a real Dark Wizard invasion, dozens of first-year students from your two houses would all be dead now!"

"Now you are still underage wizards, but you must at least understand a simple truth, learn to be responsible for yourself, and keep your own safety in your own hands."

"So based on your stupid behavior alone, I have to deduct 50 points from Gryffindor and Slytherin each. At the same time, after going back, everyone has to write a review of at least 5 feet long, to be submitted in next week's tactical training class!"

After being severely reprimanded by Anduin, the first-year students lowered their heads in shame. They now very regret their initial choice. If they had retreated to the castle with all their strength after seeing the Dark Mark, perhaps they would not have been beaten so badly.

"However..." Anduin paused and continued, "When facing the attack of three Dark Wizards, these first-year students still showed some highlights."

"For example, Miss Hermione Granger, she formulated a series of tactics to fight against the Dark Wizards, slightly slowing down the time it took for several people to be knocked down, and did cause some trouble to those Dark Wizards, so I will add 10 points to Granger, and add 5 points to the other 6 first-year wizards who participated in the battle."

"But that's all, although you behaved bravely during the battle, you still made mistakes in strategy, and failed to change the fact that the entire army was wiped out."

After hearing Anduin's words, Harry and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that their previous efforts had not been in vain.

Especially Hermione, her frustration from the failure was slightly alleviated, at least she no longer doubted herself.

"It seems that the professor is quite sure of our resistance behavior, but what does he mean by strategic mistakes? Is there any other solution at that time?"

Hermione had many doubts in her mind, but she suppressed these questions. She had already decided to ask Anduin for advice next.

"Also, there's George and Fred Weasley of Gryffindor," Anduin continued to comment, "You were in a position where you had enough time to get out of danger, but you kept wasting time, and even after encountering the Dark Wizards, you recklessly took the initiative to attack. Deduct 20 points from each of you."

Then Anduin successively named a dozen or so young wizards, and pointed out in detail the wrong behaviors they committed in this drill, and gave point deductions. Obviously, Anduin had been paying attention to everyone in this incident.

Including George and Fred, these young wizards could only silently accept Anduin's accusations, and they all paid the corresponding price for their recklessness.

"However, there are still some people who performed well in this drill," Anduin changed the subject, "For example, Gemma Farley and Percy Weasley, you did not act rashly when you encountered the Dark Wizards, but chose to prioritize establishing a defense line to protect other young wizards."

"And finally persisted until the support personnel arrived. Your rational and responsible actions saved the lives of at least 20 students. Add 20 points to each of Gemma and Percy." At this point, Anduin gave the two an approving look.

"Oh my god, I can already imagine what kind of face Percy will use to lecture us later," George muttered unhappily.

"But he did earn a lot of points for our house, didn't he? We lost at least 80 points just in this drill." Hermione was now most concerned about the house points. She had been very active since entering school, hoping to help Gryffindor win the House Cup, but today's point deduction made her very desperate.

"Don't worry!" Ron whispered in Hermione's ear at this time, "With George and Fred around, the house points will reach a new low."

"Don't secretly say bad things about us!" Fred knocked Ron on the head hard, "Do you think we can't hear you?"

Seeing that these three brothers didn't care so much about the house points, Hermione was even more desperate. What was she working so hard for?

Anduin on the stage ignored everyone's reaction and just summarized to himself, "After everyone goes back, remember to look at the contents of the 'Crisis Management' chapter in the book 'Tactical Training'. It introduces in detail how you should avoid risks and disasters in the event of an emergency, and then each person should write a feeling of at least 3 feet long in conjunction with this drill. Of course, this does not overlap with the review that others should write!"

As soon as Anduin finished speaking, there was a wail from the scene. They had just endured a great fright today, and now they were assigned homework, which made it difficult for them to accept for a while.

But Anduin didn't care about these. If after the safety drill, the performance of these young wizards next time was still like this, he couldn't accept it.

And seeing Anduin reprimanding everyone severely, Tonks, who was on standby on the side, was gloating with ill intentions.

Watching these students being reprimanded by Anduin gave her a feeling of schadenfreude. She had been reprimanded by Anduin a lot before, and now it was finally someone else's turn, hehe, you have this day too!

But when she turned her gaze back to Anduin again, she found that the other party was staring straight at her.

"You're still in the mood to laugh?" Anduin glared at Tonks with an unkind expression, "After summarizing the performance of the teachers and students of Hogwarts, it's your turn."

"This safety drill is not only arranged for Hogwarts, but also a test of the Ministry of Magic's messaging and alarm system, and the assessment of the trainee Aurors of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement!" Anduin glanced at the clipboard in his hand, retracting his gaze.

"According to the on-site measured records, the Department of Magical Law Enforcement took nearly twenty minutes from receiving my alarm to dispatching the police and arriving at Hogwarts. Even if Hogwarts cannot use Apparition, your efficiency is too slow. Can you explain it?"
