The Hogwarts Express carries the arduous task of transporting the entire young generation of the British wizarding community to school safely.

This 19th-century style old-fashioned steam locomotive has a speed of only 70 to 80 kilometers per hour. Its functions are not as simple as its simple ones. It looks so simple from the outside.

According to records in the history of magic, students at early Hogwarts were able to arrive at the school in any way they found interesting at the beginning of the school year.

But this practice of allowing students to let themselves go all the way to school is not only unsafe, but also allows Muggles everywhere to witness things they should not see.

Therefore, in order to solve this thorny issue, Otalian Gamble, the then Minister of Magic, finally proposed a very bold and controversial method.

She had a keen interest in Muggle inventions and saw the potential of trains.

Those stubborn and conservative pure-blood magic families initially refused to use trains, a device invented and built by Muggles, as a means of transportation for wizards.

In their opinion, this approach has a strange feeling of”Old Buddha, foreigners are coming to build our railways”.

In order to quell the controversy, the Ministry of Magic issued a direct announcement – either take the train or don’t go to school.

It has to be said that this simple and crude one-size-fits-all approach is quite effective, and the opposition instantly subsided.

Of course, the fact that the controversy has been settled does not mean that everything will be fine. The safety of students is still the top priority for the Ministry of Magic to carefully consider.

Forcing such a policy means that the Ministry of Magic will take full responsibility for protecting the safety of all students.

Whenever any student is injured while riding the Hogwarts Express, it is a serious dereliction of duty by the Ministry of Magic. Even if the Minister of Magic personally steps down, it cannot calm the anger of parents.

At the beginning, the British Ministry of Magic’s approach was to dispatch a large number of Aurors to protect the personal safety of students when Hogwarts opened every year.

However, this method required a lot of manpower, so it was quickly abandoned. Instead, alchemists and Hogwarts professors were hired to install a large amount of defensive magic on the car body.

Magic composed of a large number of ancient magic texts can be maintained for a long time as long as it is properly maintained.

Moreover, there is no need to send Aurors every year when school starts. As long as the Hogwarts school sends a professor who knows how to activate defensive magic to follow the car, the students can be well protected.

Even in the era when Voldemort and his Death Eaters were at their most rampant, the Hogwarts Express still maintained a record of zero accidents and zero casualties.

However, with the fall of Voldemort and the magical world ushering in precious peace, wizards have gradually been blinded by this false illusion of peace.

Hogwarts will no longer send onboard professors to the trains.

They can proudly claim that the defensive magic on the train that can be passively triggered is enough to face most emergencies.

But now, the emergency situation at hand is obviously not included in this”most”.

As the magic power spread, the inspired magic words appeared on the surface of the car one after another, and soon spread enough to cover the entire train.

The centaur and inferi legions in the distance all raised the heavy bows in their hands, and the tight bowstrings bent the bows.

As the bowstring was released, the arrows pierced the air sharply, like a round of dense raindrops falling from the sky, stabbing menacingly towards the train below.

The arrow made of fine steel failed to touch the car body. When it was still a few meters away from the car, it was blocked by an invisible barrier.

The arrow collided with the barrier, and apart from causing a large number of sparks, it failed to move forward at all.

The young wizards on the roof of the carriage who had witnessed the entire spell-casting process of their Professor of Charms looked at each other with admiration and shock in their eyes.

The little wizards who had little knowledge thought that this large defensive magic that covered the entire train was cast by their professor alone.

They are completely overthinking it.

Such a large-scale defensive magic cannot be deployed in such a short period of time even if the four deans attack it at the same time.

Seeing that those powerful arrows that could penetrate the hard scales of the fire dragon’s body could only create a few ripples in the barrier, Lu Ping’s heart dropped a little bit.

But the crisis has not been resolved – just now, in order to prevent the students from falling into greater panic, he lied to the students.

For this ambush, the unknown enemy in front of him had obviously been planning for a long time.

They not only blocked the Hogwarts Express’s way out and retreat, but also blocked any possible means of space transmission and communication in this area.

In other words, they are now a completely isolated island.

None of their information was passed on to the outside world. No one, whether it was the professors at Hogwarts or the Aurors at the Ministry of Magic, knew what was happening here.

Only when the Hogwarts Express, which was supposed to arrive at King’s Cross Station, did not arrive did the slow-responsive Ministry of Magic realize that something was wrong.

If they don’t kill all these enemies, how long can they last with just the defensive magic on the car for passive defense?

But to kill all these enemies, these students must not be able to rely on him. With his own strength…

Maintaining the operation of defensive magic, Lu Ping’s thoughts were rolling in his mind, limited by the power he possessed, even if No matter how talented a person is, standing in his current position, he cannot come up with any effective countermeasures except waiting to die.

After all, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

“Neville! Come back soon!”

Draco’s exclamation instantly interrupted Lupine’s chaotic thoughts. He suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, but he never expected to see a scene that horrified him – a figure came from He jumped out of the carriage, and his landing point was the endless tide of monsters among the mountains below.

“No!!!”

A whip cord was thrown out from the front end of Lupine’s wand, but it failed to wrap around the student who jumped out in the air.

Lupine could only watch helplessly as he fell into the open bloody mouths of the monsters below.

Thunder’s The roar sounded simultaneously at this moment, and the sharp and swift blue thunder tore up the air in an instant, leaving a winding and snaking track in the air. It happened to fall at the moment when the human figure came into contact with the beast tide. That was… that was Hufflepuff’s God of Thunder! Neville Longbottom!

The shining thunder turned into a pair of majestic steel armor and covered Neville’s body. Behind the medieval-style armor There was a bright red cloak hanging, which was blowing in the strong wind and looked extremely majestic. The violent thunder that exploded turned the monsters within ten meters around the impact point into charcoal in an instant.

The heavy war hammer in his hand was entangled. With dazzling thunder, Neville was like a majestic god of war, roaring into the monsters, breaking muscles and bones wherever the war hammer struck.
