Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 180: Don’t let one go

The time is gradually approaching noon.

The weather has become hot and dry, and the chirping of birds and insects around has disappeared...

Even in the air, it began to exude a kind of solemnity.

The three second-year children looked furtive. They leaned against the bushes next to Hogwarts Avenue and approached the castle little by little.

In such a huge Hogwarts campus, as far as they can see, there is not a single figure to be seen...

Whether it's a centaur, a house-elf, or a wizard.

The entire campus fell into a strange tranquility.

"Matthew, what should we do?" Neville Longbottom was gearing up, looking ready to go.

Actually, Matthew didn't know what to do... The reason why he returned here was purely because he had learned from the past and didn't want to get close to Hogsmeade... He thought that for him, even Hogwarts Ci's campus is already in "war", and it's even safer!

But Neville and Hermione obviously seemed to have misunderstood him.

At this time, Matthew had no choice but to make a mistake...

"Let's not act rashly!" He emphasized here, "First try to get as close to the castle as possible to see what happened."

"Understood!" Neville nodded hastily.

On the other side, Hermione didn't have any objections.

The three of them quickly hid in a bush and began to look around.

Looking at the castle not far away, which was no longer trembling, Matthew quickly fell into deep thought.

The scale of this "revolution" is naturally very considerable... The Order of the Phoenix, which has been dormant for many years, has almost mobilized all the power it can control to try to overthrow Grindelwald's rule in Hogwarts .

But—

Does it really make sense to do so?

With the current power of the Order of the Phoenix, even if all of them are mobilized, they cannot be Grindelwald's opponent... You must know that the current Gellert Grindelwald is not an ordinary "Dark Lord" ...In addition to the power that was originally loyal to him, he also controls a powerful Ministry of Magic...

And "Albus Dumbledore", the most powerful fighter in the Order of the Phoenix, has already been imprisoned in Nurmengard Prison for fifty years.

If the behavior of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​compared to guerrilla warfare, they should at least follow the five basic principles of rationally selecting the combat location, quickly deploying troops, rationally distributing troops, rationally choosing the timing of the battle, and quickly retreating after the battle...

And the current behavior of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​almost like an independent group running to fight Taiyuan... Even if they win, can they hold on?

Honestly, incredible!

Is it true that Grindelwald has been suppressed for too long, causing the existing high-level members of the Order of the Phoenix to collapse and start to give it a go?

Or, what they are doing now is actually meaningful?

Their goal is not just to take back Hogwarts and overthrow Grindelwald's rule in Hogwarts...but have other goals?

……

Just as Matthew was thinking about these things, suddenly, the voice of Minerva McGonagall sounded from the castle:

"The children of Hogwarts... and the teachers..."

The three of them quietly listened to everything she said...

"Who is McGonagall?" Neville asked with some doubts.

"She was a teacher at Hogwarts back then. I saw it in a book..." Hermione explained softly, her tone sounding a little excited, "At that time, it was Armando Dippet. When she was the principal, she first served as a teaching assistant for the Transfiguration class, and then as a professor for the study of ancient runes... There were rumors at the time that she would succeed Albus Dumbledore and become Hogwarts' subordinate. A Transfiguration teacher..."

"Dark wizard Albus Dumbledore?" Neville was slightly surprised.

"Yes... But after that, Grindelwald came, he came to Hogwarts, when many professors fled or even disappeared... They were all replaced by Grindelwald's people," Hermione seemed to have inquired a lot about this:

"Including Minerva McGonagall, who is also one of the missing persons... After her, the teacher of the course Transfiguration at Hogwarts became extremely unstable... But I can't believe it, She's still persevering!"

Hermione looked at Matthew very excitedly: "Matthew, should we help them...at least get in touch with them..."

"We can't help them..." Matthew had to pour cold water on Hermione.

He continued: "Hermione, if you really want to contribute something to those rebels, then I can only suggest that you study magic harder from now on... Only by becoming a truly powerful wizard , to be eligible to participate in them..."

"But... didn't they win!" Hermione interrupted Matthew very puzzled, "Just like McGonagall said..."

"You are too excited, Hermione, keep calm!" Matthew said calmly:

"Look, everything will be reversed... I can feel it!"

……

At the same time, Principal Gellert Grindelwald and Vice Principal Vita Rosier began to wander around the Hogwarts campus.

They didn't seem eager to approach the castle occupied by the Order of the Phoenix, nor worried about the students trapped in Hogwarts castle.

At least they look extremely calm and confident.

Grindelwald first came not far from the gate of the Hogwarts campus, and he found Professor Silvanos Kettleburn.

Poor Professor Kettleburn was still pinned down by those two flying pig statues, unable to move... Even though his wand was still tightly held on his prosthetic limb, it was still the same.

But here comes Grindelwald—

Grindelwald was unhurried, just waved his wand lightly, and the two flying pig statues quickly got out of control, no longer entangled Professor Kettleburn... They flew away, It seems that they have returned to their original positions and began to guard the gate of Hogwarts.

And Rozier took out his wand and pointed it at Kettleburn:

"Recover quickly!"

A red light lit up, and Professor Silvanos Kettleburn's face gradually turned rosy.

He stood up in a state of embarrassment, and at the same time said with an apologetic expression: "Sorry, Lord Grindelwald... those dark wizards broke into the campus with the horsemen... I couldn't stop them..."

"It's not your fault, Silvanos," Grindelwald shook his head with a smile that looked quite contagious, "I don't think anyone is facing a few dark wizards, a large group of With the assistance of the centaur and Hogwarts, he was able to retreat unscathed..."

"I'm going to stop them now..." Professor Kettleburn said bitterly.

"No, this is not your duty," Grindelwald shook his head, "Have you forgotten, Silvanos, the task I gave you earlier..."

Professor Kettleburn seemed to have suddenly realized, he nodded hastily: "I see, Lord Grindelwald...I'll go there now..."

"Remember, this time, we won't let any one go!" Grindelwald warned softly.

"I understand!"

Professor Silvanos Kettleburn left the last sentence, and then ran away.

……

On the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, a gray mouse galloped along the corridor.

Its speed is so fast that its trajectory can't even be seen clearly with the naked eye, and it is rushing towards its target.

The gray mouse is about to approach a wall in front of it. On the wall there is a tapestry of a troll hitting Barnabas with a stick...

Suddenly——

A sturdy figure rushed out of the inclined corridor.

The mouse seemed to be frightened, it turned sideways in a hurry, and ran towards the other side of the corridor.

But on the other side, there is also something waiting for it... a strong golden retriever, it threw itself on the gray mouse viciously, and pressed the caught off guard mouse under his grasp...

At this moment, the golden retriever was suddenly bounced away.

Because the mouse, which was originally very small, suddenly began to deform a little bit, and he gradually grew bigger, until finally he turned into a short, ugly wizard.

Obviously, this unremarkable mouse is actually an Animagus who has infiltrated Hogwarts.

"Good job, Donald!" On the other side, the sturdy wizard had already caught up.

The diminutive wizard wanted to turn back into the form of a mouse to escape, but it was too late——

"Quickly imprison (Incarcerous)!"

With a loud roar, a thick rope suddenly shot out from the tip of the sturdy wizard's wand.

With the fastest speed, the thick rope tightly trapped Animagus from top to bottom without leaving any flaws. Even the magic wand around his waist fell to the ground.

The sturdy wizard breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the prey in front of him, and said happily: "Peter Pedilou, the fugitive from Azkaban... finally... after ten years Five years later, I caught you in the Hogwarts castle!"

"Woof! Woof! Woof!" The golden retriever on the side also barked at the short wizard.

Peter Pedilu looked timidly and fearfully at Neville's sturdy wizard, and said softly, "Mr. Pringle..."

Poor Peter, he can't move at all now.

That's right, it was Hogwarts Castle Warden Pringle who captured the dark wizard Peter Pedilou.

Of course, there is also Mr. Pringle's pet, Mr. Tang!

This big man with well-developed limbs, his daily work is just cleaning the castle; many students take it for granted that his mind is also very simple...

But now, he has shown such a powerful combat power that even some Aurors might be ashamed!

"Let's go!" Mr. Pringle didn't seem to be worried about the entire castle, which was already occupied by the Order of the Phoenix.

He picked up Peter, and then swaggered down the corridor, while Mr. Tang followed behind him wagging his tail.

Peter, who was trapped, took a last look at the tapestry where the troll beat Barnabas with a stick...

……

Just when Mr. Pringle had captured one of the three fugitives from Azkaban.

Professor Silvanos Kettleburn, a teacher of the protection of magical animals and a gamekeeper, is also approaching his destination.

Although the old professor was a little embarrassed by those statues before, after being rescued by Principal Grindelwald and Vice Principal Rozier, he soon regained his fighting power.

He was walking down a steep and narrow path surrounded by dense jungle.

This doesn't feel like it's on the Hogwarts campus.

After turning a few turns, a black lake suddenly opened up at the end of the narrow path.

On the high hillside on the other side of the lake stands a majestic castle with many spiers and windows clearly visible.

Any student who has experienced the Hogwarts entrance ceremony will know what this place is...

Ferry!

Every first-year freshman will pass by here, taking a small boat of four people, approaching the Hogwarts castle for the first time in their lives.

Except for the first day of school on September 1st, the ferry will be very deserted; after all, under normal circumstances, no one wants to walk a rugged mountain road to get close to here.

But this time, a **** dog was wandering around the ferry... He sniffed something on the ground with his nose erect, as if he was looking for something...

Without hesitation, Professor Kettleburn pulled out his wand and aimed at the **** dog:

"Swoon!" he yelled.

A red light shot out immediately.

Intuitively, the **** dog dodged the spell by dodging to the side.

The Stunning Spell hit a stone on the ground and smashed it into pieces.

And the **** dog stood up suddenly and took human form... Just like Peter Pedilu, he was also an Animagus.

A tangle of dirty, tangled hair down to the elbows; dull eyes in black sockets...

If the staff of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic are here, they will know the true identity of this person——

Sirius Black ~IndoMTL.com~ Like Peter, he is also one of the three most wanted criminals who escaped from Azkaban some time ago... and his bounty is higher than Peter's.

Black quickly approached the rock on one side, raised his wand and launched a counterattack at Professor Kettleburn.

Several streaks of red light shot towards Professor Kettleburn, and Professor Kettleburn hurriedly bowed to avoid it.

Both of them leaned on the rocks as cover and fired spells at each other at the same time.

At the same time, Black moved a few steps closer to the forest...

He recognized the old Hogwarts professor right away, and he also knew that he might not be the opponent's opponent... But once he escaped into the forest and turned into a **** dog and fled, this The old professor will never catch up with him!

Just when Black was about to flee into the jungle and escape completely——

Suddenly, a dark guy rushed out of a bush like lightning.

The animal was covered in black fuzz and had a long snout... While Black's attention was on Professor Kettleburn, it jumped up and bit Black's wand-holding hand.

"Ah—" Sirius Black let out a scream.

At the same time, Professor Kettleburn also rushed out of the bunker:

"Dizzy!"

Blake fainted on the ground.
