Chapter 474 Order Restored
There is no doubt that Hogwarts Castle is actually a war fortress!
The era of his first masters, the Big Four, was a chaotic and disordered world. Dark wizards, plagues, monsters, and even gods spread fear and death on this continent without any scruples.
So the Big Four built their beloved school, Hogwarts, into the strongest fortress at the time.
Not only are there a large number of magic traps and maze-like changing stairs and walls, there is even a basilisk hidden under the castle!
These, coupled with the powerful protective spells outside the castle and the countless magical statues guarding them, turn Hogwarts into a military city.
But as of today, the legacy left by the Big Four has been almost completely destroyed. Not only have a large number of dangerous restrictions in the castle been removed, but even the basilisk has been eliminated.
This greatly weakened Hogwarts' protective capabilities, to the point where they were not even strong enough to resist Voldemort.
Yes, that's right!
Hogwarts Castle does not have the power to resist Voldemort. In the face of that kind of humanoid self-propelled nuclear bomb, the protective shield that Hogwarts is proud of is like a screen window, which can be broken with a poke.
It can be said that Voldemort could easily break into Hogwarts if he wanted to.
It's just that he can't do this, because Dumbledore will take action, and once the two of them fight, Hogwarts will undoubtedly be reduced to ruins, which is not conducive to Voldemort's future rule.
As the oldest magic school in Europe, Hogwarts represents something extraordinary.
As long as it exists, Voldemort will be able to continuously cultivate new subordinates after he rules the country. On the contrary, once Hogwarts is destroyed, Voldemort's rule will become a piece of water and will be overthrown by others sooner or later.
That's why Voldemort wanted Dumbledore dead so much that he even sent people like Draco to assassinate Dumbledore.
In fact, it is absolutely impossible to say that Voldemort really has any hope for Draco. After all, the strength gap between the two is too big, even if Dumbledore has been eroded by the curse, it is impossible.
Mike estimated that the reason why Voldemort asked Draco to carry out such a dangerous mission was simply to give Lucius Malfoy a beating.
But Mike gave Draco a hope of completing the mission, which was the disappearing cabinet.
The disappearing cabinet is a magical item composed of two identical cabinets. The two cabinets are connected. As long as you open the other cabinet and get in, you can disappear from the other cabinet thousands of miles away. Get out of it.
To put it simply, this is a simple version of the Floo network that can be transmitted freely through two nodes.
This magical item was created by a 15th-century wizard who relied on his rudimentary knowledge of alchemy.
But what's ridiculous is that the Vanishing Cabinet was originally created for touqing, but after the Ministry of Magic discovered that it had the ability to ignore the Unplottable Curse, the Anti-Apparition Curse, and the Anti-Apparition Curse, it was treated as such. Dark magic items are banned.
Since there were not many disappearing cabinets produced in the first place, few people know how to use them nowadays.
But coincidentally, there is a disappearing cabinet in the utility room of the Room of Requirement and in the Bojin Bock store, and the two of them are a complete set!
This means that the Death Eaters can directly invade Hogwarts through the disappearing cabinet in Borgin's Bock store, completely ignoring the power outside Hogwarts that is so powerful that Snape and the other three can resist the siege of hundreds of wizards. to a protective spell.
In the original book, Draco relied on this disappearing cabinet to cause Hogwarts to be captured, and even Dumbledore died because of it.
And now, Mike also has the idea of this disappearing cabinet.
His plan was actually very simple. Draco only needed to tell Voldemort the news about the Vanishing Cabinet, and then the other party would never let go of this opportunity to make a surprise attack on Hogwarts.
At the same time, Mike will use Draco as an undercover agent to move the disappearing cabinet to a safer location such as the Masonic Secret Realm, the Ministry of Magic, or the Hogwarts playground, depending on the situation, and then ambush troops at the above location and wait. With the Death Eaters coming.
If things develop as Mike predicts, then the scene will become funny.
The Death Eaters came out of the disappearing cabinet one after another, and then Mike and others, who had been prepared for a long time, would raise their wands and fire a volley of killing curses at them.
In this case, it can be said that the Death Eaters will basically die every time they come. The battle on the scene will be simply the same as the lining up and shooting tactics of the Yin Army during World War I.
If nothing unexpected happens, all the main elite Death Eaters will be wiped out after this battle.
Voldemort's power will definitely be destroyed. It is even not impossible for Mike and others to cooperate with the disappearing cabinet to launch a counter-sneak attack on Voldemort.
Of course, the key point of this plan is that Draco can't have a problem. If he has a problem, let alone a sneak attack on Voldemort, the Freemasons will be the ones to be attacked.
At this time, Draco, who was considered the key to Mike's plan, was limping towards the exit of the Room of Requirement. He would turn to look at Mike from time to time, as if he couldn't believe that he was let out so easily. .
His appearance at this moment was completely different from before. Not only did the shabby robes on his body look brand new, but even his hairstyle was perfect.
This was what Mike had asked for, he didn't want others to think he had abused Draco Malfoy.
After Draco left the Requirement Room, Mike and Zhou Hong looked away. They both laughed happily. I have to say that it felt very good to be an old coin. Zhou Hong even fell in love with this kind of use. Wisdom comes as a means to manipulate people's hearts.
However, the happy time is always short-lived. After enjoying the pleasure of being old coins for a while, Mike and Zhou Hong went to the auditorium. They had other more troublesome tasks to deal with, the first of which was of course finding the assassin.
But this is not an easy task.
You must know that before Mike was discharged from the hospital, Zhou Hong had used his abilities on most people in Hogwarts, but the final result was nothing. Well, it can't be said that it was nothing. At least they found Draco. Unlucky guy.
This incident shows that the assassin was either very lucky and was not detected.
Either the other party has a very advanced Occlumency technique, so he can lie in front of Zhou Hong's ability.
Whether it is to continue to examine the remaining students or to capture the assassin who has mastered Occlumency, it cannot be completed in a short time.
Therefore, Mike decided to take this matter slowly.
Let Zhou Hong check all the students first. If that doesn't work, Mike will personally go out and catch the assassin.
This will undoubtedly take a long time, but fortunately Mike has Dumbledore's support.
Hogwarts will be in a state of complete lockdown until Christmas, and no students are allowed to go out, including even to Hogsmeade.
This means that the so-called assassin will not be able to leave Hogwarts before Christmas.
This order was issued by Dumbledore, but it was not actually for Mike to catch the assassin, but because the outside world has been completely messed up recently because of Mike's reward order. Dumbledore was doing it for the safety of the students. This was the order given after consideration.
One might also argue that assassins could rely on house elves to leave Hogwarts, as Mac had always done.
But in fact, strange house elves can't take people away from Hogwarts or teleport people into Hogwarts.
This is because Dumbledore, as the headmaster of Hogwarts, has unparalleled control over the castle. Even Dumbledore knows clearly every time Mike leaves Hogwarts with the help of a house elf. He just didn't say it.
If this were not the case, Voldemort and the others would not need to look for a vanishing cabinet at all, and would simply ask the house elves to send them to Hogwarts.
Thanks to the time Dumbledore bought for Mike, Mike was able to focus on another equally important task - maintaining order at Hogwarts.
…
In the Great Hall of Hogwarts, students from various houses were enjoying their lunch.
In the past, under the pressure of professors, they would try to finish up the food on their plates relatively quietly, and then leave in groups of twos and threes.
But it's different now. The auditorium is now as lively as a banquet!
Everyone roared loudly without any scruples, and from time to time they would lift the food on the plate and throw it at others, and then laugh at the embarrassed look of that person.
The whole auditorium was in chaos!
Food is being wasted at an alarming rate, which makes it difficult for the house elves in the kitchen to cook because the amount of ingredients for lunch is almost over.
Reason told the house elves that they had to stop, but the servility in their bodies made them dare not stop, because this would cause dissatisfaction among the students, which the house elves could not bear.
But continuing to do so would only quench their thirst, because if the amount of ingredients for lunch exceeds the limit, they can only start using the ingredients for dinner, which will make the ingredients for dinner insufficient, causing dissatisfaction among students and even professors.
This was almost an unsolvable problem, and the house elves in the kitchen almost committed suicide due to this torture.
Fortunately, Mike came at this time.
He walked into the auditorium with a large group of mutual aid association members including Franklin and Zhou Hong.
Turning his head to avoid a roasted chicken leg that was thrown at him, Mike slowly pointed the wand in his hand above his head.
"Boom boom boom!"
A series of deafening explosions exploded from the tip of his staff!
The students in the auditorium were startled. They turned their heads in confusion and looked in the direction of the explosion. The moment they saw Mike and others, their expressions changed drastically.
The recent assassination of Mike can be said to be the hottest news in Hogwarts, so now everyone is very surprised when they see Mike, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed to recuperate, suddenly brought a large group of people to the auditorium.
However, Mike didn't care what they thought. After seeing everyone's attention gathered, Mike put the wand against his neck and used the 'loud voice spell' to say loudly:
"Now, clean up the auditorium immediately and go back to your lounge!"
Mike's voice echoed in the empty auditorium. The students standing or sitting in the auditorium were all shocked. They really didn't expect that Mike would say such a thing, because in their opinion, Mike should be the same as It's right for them to be in the same group.
But soon, the surprise turned into anger. The students began to yell at the microphone on the stage, and the auditorium became noisy again.
Mike watched all this expressionlessly, while Zhou Hong next to him showed sarcasm.
As a faceless man with the gift of mind reading, he figured out the psychological changes of this group of people.
Although they had lived extremely carefree these past two days, trampling on Hogwarts school rules and no one cared about them, but in fact they knew very well that although the professors had not controlled them much recently, they would not be able to control them until this matter was over. , the stick will fall on them sooner or later.
In other words, they are now just the last bit of madness.
Originally, they were still expecting Mike, the culprit who caused all this, to bear most of the responsibility alone, but now Mike has stepped forward to stop them!
This behavior is undoubtedly betrayal in their eyes! That's why they are so angry.
But their anger was meaningless in Mike's opinion, because the students in the auditorium had been shouting there for a long time and no one rushed up to fight Mike. This was obviously a bluff.
Shaking his head, Mike no longer wanted to tangle with this group of people.
I saw him holding the wand high, and he didn't see him reciting a spell. I saw a ball of scarlet sparks spurting out from the tip of the blackthorn wand.
This spark continued to stretch and twist in the air, greedily sucking the oxygen in the air like a new life. With the continuous intake of oxygen, the size of the flame continued to expand, and finally turned into a ferocious head. Fire dragon!
The giant flame dragon did not attack the students after it appeared. Instead, it floated above the auditorium and stared at the students in the auditorium with its dark eyes.
The auditorium fell silent in just a moment. Although the temperature in the auditorium had risen to an unbearable level due to the appearance of the fire dragon, no one complained. Everyone looked up at the fire dragon above them in horror.
"Are you... joking..."
A seventh-grade Gryffindor student murmured in a low voice. He couldn't understand why Mike would use such a terrifying curse to deal with them when he and others just screamed a few times!
