The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

George and Fred rushed to the eighth floor of Hogwarts in a hurry.

Along with the end of get out of class time on the way, the whole Hogwarts seemed to come alive.

In the huge castle, the laughter of the students was everywhere.

This is usually the favorite scene for Harry and the others.

Now Harry just felt noisy.

If possible, he really wanted to appear in front of Link in a flash, and ask whether what George and Fred said before was true.

However, his wish could not be realized after all.

Because as soon as they set foot on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, a tall and handsome figure stood in front of them.

"Cedric, get out of the way, we're going to see Link."

George and Fred said to Cedric who was blocking the way with displeased faces.

But upon hearing this, Cedric said lightly:

"Link is asking Percy about the Ministry of Magic, and has no time to receive you for the time being."

"Has Percy arrived yet?" Ron said with some surprise, "Isn't that just right? We're all a family anyway, so why don't we go and listen together?"

Cedric didn't speak, just shook his head calmly.

This scene stunned Ron, and made the expressions of George and Fred darken instantly.

The two of them looked at each other, Qi Qi took out his wand and warned:

"Cedric, let me say it one last time, let's go see Link! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

Cedric glanced over the wands tightly held by George and Fred, and then said with a chuckle:

"Don't make trouble for yourself, George, Fred. You two together are no match for me, and you should all understand that."

Both George and Fred's bodies trembled from being too angry.

But in the end, they just gave Cedric a hard look, and then pulled Ron and the others, who were still stiff and unwilling to leave, back quickly.

After they had gone far away, Cedric sighed deeply, turned his head and said to the shadow behind him:

"My mission is accomplished."

"well done."

Link walked out of the shadows as he spoke.

With him are John, Emily and other members of D.A.'s deep circle.

"Then next," Link turned his head and continued to the people behind him, "we should gather our people to go to the Ministry of Magic."

Hearing that John and Emily nodded one after another, each quickly left in different directions.

They wanted to summon the elite D.A. Army from Hogwarts and the hunters from Forley Castle to the Ministry of Magic as quickly as possible.

"Are you really sure that Harry and the others will recklessly raid the Department of Mysteries?"

Cedric leaned over and said with some anxiety.

"It's inevitable. I know their thoughts too well. Not to mention their destination, I can even guess their path to the Ministry of Magic." Link glanced at Cedric Said, "Why, can't bear it anymore?"

Cedric shook his head and said:

"That's not true, it's just... just that it hurts a little too much. Harry and the others believe in us so much, and George and Fred..."

"But this is the best way to deal with it, isn't it?" Link continued, "In fact, if it were Dumbledore, he would go too far than us. At least, we can still guarantee their safety."

"Yeah, there is no way out of this."

Cedric sighed for a long time, and then put his hand on Link's shoulder, "Then, let's go too."

Hearing this, Link smiled lightly, and as he waved his wand in his hand, the two of them disappeared into the corridor with a bang.

...

"George! Fred! I can't believe it! You two were actually scared off by that little boy! Where's your usual domineering spirit? Aren't you very fierce when you tease the lower grades? Feelings Just bullying the weak and fearing the hard!"

On the way back to the Gryffindor common room,

Ron taunted George and Fred frantically.

This made the already ugly faces of George and Fred even worse.

Finally, they couldn't bear it any longer, and directly lifted Ron up like a little chick and rushed into the boys' bathroom next to him.

"Little boy! What do you know?"

George pushed Ron against the wall, and George said angrily, "Do you think we don't want to go up and fight Cedric directly?

But what's the point?

As he said, the two of us are not his opponents at all!

If I really want to do it, I can't change anything except being gestured by him! "

Ron was obviously still unconvinced, struggling and said:

"Don't we still have us? We can also help!"

"You guys? What are you guys?" Fred lost his temper, "The three of you can't even beat us! If we really want to fight Cedric, you don't say it's just helping, it's good enough not to slow you down. Already!"

"I know Cedric is excellent, but he's not as good as you say, is he?" Harry said a little unconvinced, "I don't remember him ever having any outstanding records!"

Facing Harry, George was obviously a lot more polite, and slowed down his tone:

"Please, that's because Link is here, so Cedric doesn't have much chance to perform!

In fact, don't look at us calling Cedric a jerk every day, but he is actually the strongest student in Hufflepuff besides Link!

If Link hadn't been there during the Triwizard Tournament, Cedric would have become a warrior! "

Fred went on to add:

"And do you really understand the difference between senior D.A. members and D.A. members in Link's inner circle?

They can read most of the magic books of the Foley family and the entire Hogwarts Restricted Area, and they are directly instructed by Link!

Their speed of progress is completely incomparable with ours! "

Harry and Ron instinctively wanted to continue to refute, their mouths squirmed a few times but they couldn't say anything.

Because they all knew that what George and Fred said was absolutely true!

"But you don't have to worry too much." George and Fred said after seeing this, "Because Cedric came forward to stop us from doing this, and he has already explained everything to us. Gu

Link and the others are deliberately delaying time and don't want us to go to the Department of Mysteries!

Now I even suspect that the reason why you haven't responded to the letters you sent out is because Link intercepted them! "

"how can that be!?"

Hermione, who was standing at the bathroom door, screamed, "Link wouldn't do that kind of thing, there must be some misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding? I don't think so! Otherwise, why didn't he want to see us?" George and Fred sneered, "The dragon-slaying warrior eventually turned into a dragon. Don't we see such things less often?

Also, do you know how good this place is for Link?

The situation he is facing now is actually not much different from that of Umbridge back then.

Both have chosen to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic, and both have not yet obtained the full authority of Hogwarts.

And if the dream Harry had was real, then Dumbledore and the others must be in danger this time.

In this way, he can directly and truly become the master of the entire Hogwarts castle! "

Hermione and Harry were paled by what George Fred said.

George and Fred's conjectures are well-founded, and it's hard not to believe them.

But at this time, Ron, who finally calmed down, said:

"What you say makes sense, but what we are facing now is, what do we do next?"

"It's actually very simple!"

George and Fred smiled mysteriously, "Ron, you should trust your brothers, we always think of a way before we take action!"

After saying that, George and Fred glanced out at the sky, and then they left the castle with Harry and the three of them, and ran towards Hagrid's hut.

Regarding Hagrid, in fact, the three of Harry will visit once every few weeks.

It was just because of the experience of being framed by Umbridge before, and then his half-brother was expelled from Hogwarts by Harry. Although Hagrid was not expelled from Hogwarts now, he still received considerable punishment. hit.

When George and Fred led the trio to Hagrid's hut, what appeared before them was a desert.

I saw that the originally regular farmland near Hagrid's hut was completely abandoned at this moment.

Not only was the field full of weeds, but there were also many goblins looking at them and their group.

Some daring goblins even punched holes all around Hagrid's cabin.

This was something Hagrid would never allow in the past.

Because goblins, the famous pests in the magical world, like to build their own kingdoms underground, and this kind of wanton behavior can seriously damage farmland and the foundation of houses.

And this also gave Harry and his party some bad premonitions.

"Hagrid! Are you there?"

George frowned, and knocked on the door of Hagrid's cabin while shouting.

However, before he knocked twice, he unexpectedly discovered that the door of the wooden house was not closed at all, and he knocked open it directly.

The moment the door opened, the strong smell of alcohol mixed with the disgusting smell of vomit came directly to the surface.

Although the hut was originally messy, the barely visible scene no longer existed.

Although the original appearance of Hagrid's hut can still be seen clearly, it looks like a garbage dump as a whole.

The fireplace in the corner had already been extinguished, and the hound Fang was lying in his den and shivering.

And Hagrid fell to the ground in an extremely strange posture.

Half of his face was pressed against a puddle of vomit, and he was clearly asleep, but miraculously he didn't snore.

If it wasn't for the fact that his body was still slowly rising and falling with his breathing, others would even think that he was dead.

"Oh! God! Hagrid! Hagrid, are you all right?"

The bad smell in the house was almost smoked out by Harry and others, but seeing Hagrid's appearance, Harry rushed to Hagrid's side desperately.

He shouted Hagrid's name loudly and pushed Hagrid.

In the end, Hagrid, who was drunk, slapped him down the corner of the wall, and fell into the kennel together with Fang, who lost his footing.

Hermione, Ron and the others were all looking at Hagrid in disbelief. They couldn't understand why Hagrid had changed into what he is now in such a short period of time.

George and Fred were also quite disappointed when they saw this.

However, in order not to let go of any glimmer of hope, they still poured Hagrid several bottles of potions specially used for sobering up - this stuff is a very popular potion in Hogwarts, and most students will drink it After secretly drinking, drink some of this, so as to eliminate the smell of alcohol on yourself, so as not to let the professor find out.

However, this kind of potion, which usually only needs a few drops to wake up a deeply drunk person, didn't have any effect on Hagrid.

After Hermione and Harry had helped clean up all the rubbish in the hut, and the fireplace was lit again, Hagrid still didn't regain consciousness, and instead snored.

This made George so angry that he threw the empty bottle out and complained:

"Well now, we can't even count on Hagrid!"

"Then what are we going to do next?" Harry asked with a pale complexion, "Without Hagrid's help, we would not have been able to steal the Thestrals and leave Hogwarts. Professor Graplan, who is now managing Thestrals, is not so good." Easy to fool."

Hearing this, Fred said with some surprise:

"Who told you that we were going to leave Hogwarts on a Thestral? We all have our own broomsticks. Why don't we just leave on the broom? As for Hagrid, we're just here to see if we can get out of Hogwarts." It’s just not possible to bring him into the group. But now it seems impossible.”

"Fred, this is not realistic at all!" Hermione frowned. "Hogwarts is too far away from the Ministry of Magic. We can't go there with just broomsticks!"

George said helplessly:

"Miss Know-It-All, please listen to what we have to say!

Now all the known secret passages in Hogwarts have been blocked by Link

So now we need to take the broom to Hogsmeade village, and then things will be very simple.

There is a Hog's Head pub there, and the owner there seems to have a grudge against Dumbledore and Hogwarts.

He's more than happy to sell some late drinks to students like us, and that's how most of the butterbeer we smuggle into the school for sale comes from.

So, I think as long as we can pay the price, he probably won't pursue us for sneaking out of Hogwarts, and even let us use the Floo fireplace in his shop. "

Fred went on to add:

"Oh! By the way, this purchase channel is our business secret. After we graduate, you can secretly continue to purchase and operate this business, but it is best not to tell others. This will affect the market balance! "

The Harry trio were taken aback by what George and Fred said.

But he followed George and Fred out of Hagrid's hut, and after going around the edge of the Forbidden Forest for more than half an hour, he rode on the broomstick and killed the pig's head directly from a remote and uninhabited route. bar.
