Study Days at Hogwarts

"Damn it, can't you just be quiet? This is not a train station."

In the room at the back of the Pig's Head Bar, Abforth, who had just finished his business day and was about to take a rest, was startled by a group of guys who suddenly appeared.

What annoys Abforth the most is that these uninvited guys are not just the ones in front of him. There are still a large number of young people who are vigilantly raising their wands and coming from the room that was enchanted by Albert. Come out.

Instinct told Abforth that these guys would be up to no good, and something big was probably going to happen tonight.

"Sorry Alforth, we didn't want so many people to come all at once, but something happened at Hogwarts, so we had to come." Lee Jordan quickly stepped forward to negotiate with Alforth, trying to appease these people. A grumpy old man, they have disturbed each other's life after all.

"What happened?" Abforth asked curiously after hearing this, "I thought you sent out a large number of people to retake Hogwarts."

"Old Bat Snape arrested a group of family members of students who resisted him, and planned to force other students to submit."

Cedric, who was observing Hogwarts Castle with a map, had unconcealed disgust on his face when he talked about it.

"Those people are getting better and better going back."

Abforth's reaction was quite dull. After all, kidnapping relatives and threatening others has always been a common tactic used by Death Eaters. They were just using it in reverse now.

"Neville is already here. We have to go. It's best not to keep others waiting too long." George interrupted the brief exchange between several people and walked to Ariana's portrait.

"Why is it just you, Anderson?" Abforth asked with a frown, not finding the familiar figure in the crowd.

"Of course it's not just us, people from the Order of the Phoenix will also come to support." Fred smiled and patted the suitcase in his hand.

"I mean Albert Anderson, didn't that guy come with you?"

Abforth felt that only Albert would be the safest to organize this operation, just like his "unreliable" brother, who could always make others feel at ease.

Without Albert, Abforth was worried that these guys would accidentally step directly into the Death Eaters' trap.

This thing looks like a trap no matter how you look at it.

"We can't rely on Albert for everything. As long as the mysterious man doesn't show up at Hogwarts, those Death Eaters can't do anything to us!" George looked very confident and didn't take the Death Eaters seriously at all. "Even if this is a trap, we are confident that we can deal with it calmly, so there is no need to worry."

"I'm not worried about you, I'm just worried that you will implicate me." Aberforth poured himself a cup of hot drink, sat on a chair and looked at these chattering guys. He seemed to have seen the former Order of the Phoenix.

The original Order of the Phoenix was formed by a group of passionate young people called by Dumbledore who tried to resist the Death Eaters.

At this time, the portrait on the wall opened like a small door, and Neville appeared in the opened door, seemingly surprised that so many members of the Defense Association came.

"I think they will be happy to see you." He greeted everyone with a smile.

"No one should betray everyone secretly, right?" George bent down and walked into the secret passage, and said in a low voice, "We don't want to be tricked by our pig teammates."

"No, Hannah has been watching them over there." Neville was a little surprised that George would say that, but he still explained, "Actually, as long as there is a solution to the problem, I think there will definitely be few people who are stupid enough to betray us. After all, the credibility of the Death Eaters is terrible, and no one is willing to take a chance on whether the Death Eaters will abide by the agreement." Neville looked around carefully and couldn't help but frown and asked, "Isn't Mr. Anderson here?"

"He'll keep an eye on it, but we're the main ones tonight and it's a test for us."

Perhaps knowing Neville's worries, George reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "We can't rely on Albert for everything. We can solve some relatively simple tasks ourselves, not to mention this time we have joined forces with Phoenix." Society, don’t worry even if you run into a trap.”

"Albert can give everyone more confidence, you know." Neville said with a wry smile. Of course he wanted to believe that the members of the Defense Association had that ability, but he was more willing to believe in Albert.

At some point, Albert has quietly replaced the dead Dumbledore and become the pillar of support in countless people's hearts.

"Don't worry, as far as we know, the mysterious man has left the UK, so we only need to deal with a group of Death Eaters. We have dealt with them many times, and the Death Eaters now are just a bunch of trash."

Having followed Albert so many times, everyone is very confident in this rescue operation. Even if it is really a trap carefully laid out for them by the Death Eaters, what will happen?

As long as the mysterious man does not appear, there will be no problems with this operation.

After walking in the secret passage for a long time, everyone finally arrived at the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts.

They actually thought about letting the house elves use Apparition to lead them to invade the school, but after many considerations, they gave up.

Because they are not only here to save people, but also to give confidence to the members of Dumbledore's Army, letting them understand that there is nothing wrong with joining Dumbledore's Army, and they have never been given up.

Albert's failure to show up did cause some commotion among the members of Dumbledore's Army, but before the uneasiness spread, George lied without blinking an eye, "Albert didn't come because he needed help." We contain the mysterious man, and we are enough to deal with the Death Eaters."

"The situation is not as bad as you think. This is just a simple rescue operation, and we have a lot of people here this time." Fred tapped the suitcase, put it on the ground and opened it. The people inside the box came out one by one.

Everyone opened their mouths in surprise, because many people from the Defense Association and the Order of the Phoenix came, and unknowingly thought they were planning to capture Hogwarts.

"Is this the headquarters of Dumbledore's Army? It looks really good." Sirius looked at the decoration in the Room of Requirement and said to Lupine sideways, "We didn't discover this place before!"

"Professor Lupine." Someone couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Remus, it seems that you are very popular among the students." Hestia Jones was also looking around, looking relaxed and not feeling pressured by this action.

Lupine forced a smile. He didn't feel that he was very popular as a werewolf.

After a burst of noise, Cedric cleared his throat and began to mobilize before the war, "We all know that this is a trap set by the Death Eaters, but they probably never expected that so many of us would come. Moreover, all of them An ambush only works if the enemy doesn't know about it. If someone discovers it, it's not an ambush. "

After speaking, he cast a searching look at Kingsley, who shook his head and allowed Cedric to continue.

So, Cedric waved his wand to create a blackboard out of thin air, and introduced the next plan to everyone: "We have almost confirmed that the trick played by the Death Eaters is a trap used to capture Dumbledore's Army. They probably I also guess that you will not compromise easily, but will try to rescue the captured family members at night. You have done similar things before, so the probability of doing it again is very high, considering the Death Eaters they arranged at Hogwarts. It’s not hard to guess this, and another piece of evidence is that they lock people in the school dungeon, basically saying to you... come and save people.”

Seeing the frightened expressions on the faces of many students after they suddenly realized it, they had obviously thought about rescuing people at night.

"There are twenty-three of our enemies in total. If you include Snape, there are twenty-four. Five of them are Aurors from the Ministry of Magic. However, the Aurors are not with the Death Eaters, but we are not Determine if they will become an obstacle, so a team of people will be needed to deal with them." Cedric paused deliberately for a moment after finishing.

"Leave them to me. Aurors should not be underestimated. To some extent, they are more dangerous than Death Eaters."

Kingsley, who had been silently watching Cedric's command, was surprised that the other party could still control the situation well without Albert, so he took the initiative to accept the job.

"Then I will follow you later." Cedric nodded and looked at Sirius and Lupin: "Snape will be left to you, no problem."

"No problem, we will deal with him." Sirius and Lupine happily accepted the task of dealing with their old friends.

"You don't have to deal with him, just keep him from causing trouble for us." George suddenly reminded, "Don't underestimate the big bat. Albert once said that Snape is a very powerful guy."

"We will never underestimate him." Sirius and Lupine knew Snape too well, they were old friends.

Cedric looked back at Fred, George and Lee Jordan.

"Leave the Death Eaters to us. They are all useless newcomers, so they won't be a big problem." Fred said with a smile.

"Fred."

Mr. Weasley frowned. It was a bad habit to look down on your enemies.

"I'm George," said Fred.

"Okay George."

"Just kidding, I'm Fred."

"Stop it."

Bill stopped his brother who was trying to calm the atmosphere.

"There are also some members of the special operations team!" Cedric reminded, "There are probably a few of them, and they are all Slytherin students in school.

"Don't worry, we will take care of them." Lee Jordan raised his hand to accept the task.

"Well, I know this job will definitely fall to me." Dedalo Digo shrugged.

"What about us?"

When the assignment was made, all the members of Dumbledore's Army were very dissatisfied. They could also participate in the battle instead of waiting here like fools.

"You are with us, staying in the Room of Requirement as a last resort."

Zannah and Hestia Jones needed to stay and monitor the school's situation through the Marauder's Map to pass news to other teams, but he also knew that the others might not be too restless, so he continued, "Of course, we can solve it outside by the way." It's also our job to monitor the people here, so don't worry, everyone has their own tasks. "

"That's it. If there's no problem, start setting the watch." Cedric raised his watch and started to set the time. "It will be done within half an hour. It's best not to alert others."
