The Admiral of Hogwarts

After finishing the call with Enterprise, Hugo turned his attention to the Quidditch pitch. Perhaps because the conversation had taken a little longer than expected, the seats around the pitch were now filled with people, who were cheering loudly.

Amidst the deafening cheers, the Quidditch teams from the two houses entered the pitch.

Upon entering the pitch, the captains of the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff teams immediately mounted their brooms and soared into the air, circling their respective goalposts as a warm-up, while also making taunting gestures towards the opposing side.

Madam Hooch released the balls. The Hufflepuff team members, dressed in pale yellow uniforms, were huddled together, using the last minute to discuss tactics.

Just as Harry was about to mount his broom, Hugo suddenly saw Professor McGonagall running across the pitch, holding a giant purple microphone.

"It seems something else has happened. Have your carrier-based aircraft found anything?" Seeing Professor McGonagall rushing onto the pitch, Hugo immediately contacted Enterprise, who was staying in the castle, through the Admiral Network.

"No, I can swear to that." Enterprise's tone was filled with disbelief. "There's absolutely no way I could have missed a creature as big as the Basilisk—"

Here, Enterprise suddenly paused, then explained to Hugo a few seconds later.

"Headmaster Dumbledore just used his phoenix Patronus to notify me to gather in the Great Hall. I'm going to check it out now, and I'll let you know what exactly happened this time after I figure it out."

"The match has been canceled." After ending the connection with Enterprise, Hugo saw Professor McGonagall speaking into the microphone towards the crowded open-air stands. The crowd erupted in dissatisfied hisses and shouts.

Oliver Wood looked like he wanted to express some disagreement to his Head of House, but Professor McGonagall clearly didn't pay him any attention at this time.

"All students must return to their respective house common rooms. There, the heads of the houses will tell you more about the situation. Please leave as soon as possible!" Professor McGonagall's expression was serious, and her tone brooked no argument.

The Ravenclaws returned to the tower's common room, and then each found familiar companions to discuss what had just happened. A tense atmosphere quickly permeated the room.

Soon, the small Professor Flitwick, with a serious face, climbed into the common room from the ladder below, and after confirming with the prefects that the students had all arrived, he began his speech.

"All students must return to their house common rooms before 6:00 PM. No student may leave the dormitory building after this time. Each class will be escorted by a teacher."

"No student may use the restrooms without the accompaniment of a teacher. All Quidditch training and matches are postponed. No more activities will be carried out in the evening."

The Ravenclaw students all stood or sat quietly in the common room, listening to Professor Flitwick reading aloud in his shrill voice the contents of a parchment with the Hogwarts School seal on it.

"A serious attack has occurred. The attacker broke through the magical defenses set up by Professor Sprout and destroyed all the Mandrakes in the greenhouse."

Rolling up the parchment in his hand, Professor Flitwick looked at everyone and said, while waving his wand to display a phantom image.

In the phantom image, the third greenhouse, where Hugo and the others had previously attended classes, was completely dark, with even obvious signs of collapse. Obviously, this attack was much more violent than everyone had imagined.

According to Veneto, it's like solving a problem that could be solved with a single bullet with a 381 heavy artillery. And there is no other reasonable explanation for this behavior other than provoking and demonstrating the attacker's power.

"Fiendfyre!" Several older students quickly recognized the type of magic used by the attacker through the traces of the attack site in the image.

"That's right, it's the traces of Fiendfyre, and the attacker's mastery of this magic is not low, even able to delay the ignition for dozens of seconds. This is why we couldn't find the attacker after we arrived—"

Professor Flitwick's shrill voice echoed in the common room. The Ravenclaw students around him did not chatter and express their opinions as usual, but listened quietly to the head of house's explanation, while everyone's face showed a serious expression.

Now the situation is very obvious. The attacker should be the mastermind behind the so-called Chamber of Secrets monster attack incident, and the only purpose of choosing to burn those Mandrakes now is to avoid exposing the attacker's identity after saving Colin.

However, it was also in this attack that the other party revealed a skilled mastery of the Dark Magic Fiendfyre. And this naturally attracted the attention of the school.

At the same time, because of this attack using Fiendfyre, the severity of the previous attacks was immediately raised a level. At least now no one regards this thing as just a prank.

But correspondingly, Hogwarts also faces the risk of being closed. Because if the culprit is not caught, all the teachers and students of the school are likely to be under some kind of life threat.

Just as Headmaster Flitwick was warning the students of the school, Hugo began to contact Enterprise and try to obtain first-hand information from the scene.

Enterprise had already arrived at the destroyed Greenhouse Three with Headmaster Dumbledore. Besides them, Lockhart was babbling incessantly on the ruins of the scene.

"That's right, it should be a dragon that destroyed this place." Looking at Enterprise squatting on the ground inspecting and Headmaster Dumbledore standing aside, Lockhart had a smiling face.

"I think it was the dung fertilizer used by Professor Sprout that attracted the dragon, because dragons often use feces to divide their territories, and the dung fertilizer here obviously has a very strong provocative effect on the dragon, so naturally the dragon's breath came in—"

"—Alright, Gilderoy, thank you for your analysis, but I think you'd better go to the office now and think about how to appease the frightened students—"

Even Dumbledore with his good temper couldn't stand Lockhart's nonsense, so he thought of a way to send Lockhart away.

After Lockhart left, Dumbledore asked Enterprise, who had finished the inspection and stood up, "Miss Halsey, what have you found here?"

"Only a little bit of discovery, because Fiendfyre destroyed too many traces." Enterprise shook her head looking at Dumbledore.

"Although the other party consciously erased most of the traces, judging from the position and direction of the half footprint remaining on the ground, the attacker should be from inside the school."

For Voldemort, who was able to kill his father and grandparents and frame his uncle when he was studying at Hogwarts, he would definitely not forget to erase his traces when launching an attack.

Even so, that noseless guy certainly wouldn't have thought that there would be a ship girl, a creature with perception far exceeding that of humans, who could find that half of a footprint that he had overlooked and left on the grass.

"Inside the school—" Dumbledore suddenly became serious, "What else have you found?"

"The rest are just some guesses I made based on the situation at the scene." Enterprise said seriously, "Therefore, the following content is for reference only. And cannot be used as a definite conclusion."
