Chapter 178: McGonagall vs. Rozier(1/2)
"Horseman!" Many girls screamed in fear.
After the "horse riot" during the Christmas holiday, they all began to have a disgust towards the creatures like horses...
There is fear at the same time as disgust!
The three seniors stood in front of the crowd with their teeth.
To be honest, the three of them are just students in the fifth and sixth grades, and they are not even adults (the wizard is seventeen years old)... The others around them are all lower-grade students in the second and third grades, and they have no combat power. It can be said that they are a dream to deal with the piles of adult horse people in front of them.
On the other hand, Professor Kettleborn was also defeated by the two Fliggy statues.
"Expellirarma!" A red-haired witch suddenly popped out of the horseman, and her magic wand aimed at Professor Kettleborn.
The magic animal teacher caught off guard and flew away the wand in his hand and fell to the ground in a very embarrassing way... Two flying pig statues flew over quickly, pressing him tightly and unable to move.
Looking at the girl who suddenly appeared, the crowd began to talk about it-
"This woman..."
"she is……"
"Black Witch Lily Evans!"
...
Lily Evans's title is actually a "legendary" among the students of Hogwarts.
Although somewhat infamous.
As a well-known black witch, she was wanted by the Ministry of Magic for more than ten years and offered a reward of 5,000 Gallons, and she was able to "get away from justice"... I have to say that this is an "amazing" achievement.
Her photos were naturally spread throughout the UK with wanted orders and were well-known to everyone.
However, it is inevitable that such a person suddenly appears in front of them and cause panic.
Especially she was also with a group of terrible horse people.
With them, there was also a big guy with a hideous face and bearded face, wearing an extra-large mole-skin coat...
"Don't be afraid, kids," Lily Evans's voice seemed extremely gentle, "We are not here to hurt you, but to save you."
Cedric Diggory stood in front of the crowd, he mustered up the courage and asked hesitantly: "But... these horsemen..."
A young horseman suddenly walked forward a few steps. His hair was platinum and a silver-maned horse body; he looked a little handsome.
The horseman replied: "The horseman never hurts the cubs, whether it is human or horseman... we are extremely peaceful creatures from beginning to end."
He walked a few steps forward and raised his hand towards Cedric.
Cedric hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out his hand; they shook hands.
"My name is Ferenze!" said the horse man.
"The horses have lived in forbidden forests for more than a year, and our ancestors lived here long before Hogwarts was founded!" Ferenze's voice was quite magnetic and sounded very comfortable:
"For more than a thousand years, we have lived in harmony with the teachers and students of Hogwarts... Whether it was the witch hunting operation or the goblin rebellion, we were standing with the wizards... The horseman has always been a kind of creature that is indifferent to the world. We don't care much about matter. We can naturally live in extremely difficult environments. All we need is a small forest and the sky that can be observed, which is enough... I originally thought that this relationship would last forever..."
"...But with that person coming, everything changed; Gellert Grindelwald!" Ferenze spitted out the name with some difficulty.
"Unlike the previous Hogwarts controller, this Hogwarts foreign controller... He is fierce, powerful, and cruel... He demands the enslavement of the horse people, demands the horse people to surrender completely to the wizards, and even asks the horse people to be loyal to him... We naturally disagree, and then what awaits us is oppression and massacre..."
"...I don't know how many horsemen died tragically at his hands. Our living space is getting smaller and smaller, although the occupied forests are meaningless to the wizards... Our foals were starved to death, and the old man was frozen to death. Because there was not enough food and forage, we survived in the cold and hunger..."
"That's why we think of resistance; but even if it is resistance, we have only one goal, that is Gellert Grindelwald and his followers!" Ferenze made a loud voice.
The young wizards looked at each other in a daze, listening incredibly what the horse people said in front of them.
Indeed, the horses in front of them all look pale and thin, and look malnourished; this is enough to prove that what they say is true
Moreover, judging from their performance, they do not seem to be as cruel as the legend... so terrible...
"Yes, kids," Lily Evans also took a step forward and said, "Ferenze is right!"
Matthew looked at the crowd and found Harry Evans in the crowd... The boy was staring at the redhead, as if he was trying to resist going over and recognize each other...
"Since the situation is urgent, maybe we can't say it too much..." Lily continued, "but please remember that Grindelwald is a very terrible person. On the surface, he seems to be maintaining everything about the wizard, but in fact it is only for his own interests... He suppresses all non-wizard creatures, from horsemen, house elves, goblins, and then to Muggles; and all wizards who have objections to him... and that is, we, stigmatized by him as the black wizard... all this is just for his ultimate interests, and he tries to rule the whole world!"
"Fifty years ago, he murdered the former Hogwarts principal Armando Dippet, and put all the teachers and students who had objections to him at that time into Newmongaard, his private prison... He obtained the position of Hogwarts' "principal" by usurping the throne to try to brainwash you... All of this in front of him is clear evidence!"
"Did you see these two statues?" Lily pointed to the two statues of Fliggy. "If you pay a little attention, you will find that they are the two statues guarding the Hogwarts gates; and now they choose to help us dark wizards, betrayers... and the castle of Hogwarts. I think you should have felt its trembling just now; yes, it is angry, its anger at the Grindelwald dogs... Your school is now on our side!"
There were some whispers in the crowd.
"I know that you are the future of the wizarding world; I also know that it may be difficult to change your concepts in a short period of time..." Lily smiled and said, "But I just want to give you a piece of advice, as a former Hogwarts student, to give you a piece of advice... What you see and learn in class may not be real; this world is much darker and more terrifying than you imagined..."
She waved to the horse people, who consciously made a way for more than a hundred Hogwarts students.
"Now, leave Hogwarts campus and follow the avenue between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade to the wizard village, which will be safe!" Lily Evans shouted.
Then, she turned around and left with the horse people and the big guy.
They headed towards the castle!
...
The lower grade students who "lived the disaster" looked at everything that was happening in front of them in a bit incredible way.
The "cruel" horse people, the "terrible" black wizards, let them go completely... They did not even hurt Professor Keitelborn, but just allowed the two Fliggy statues to continue to press against him.
Whispering began to ring in the crowd-
"Is that woman really the most notorious dark wizard in the legend... she doesn't seem to be like the rumor?"
"Yes, I feel she is pretty good, very gentle, and beautiful..."
"And the horses, they don't seem to be as violent as they are described in textbooks and newspapers..."
"Are they saying true...those words about Principal Grindelwald..."
"But Hogwarts seems to be helping them!"
"If this is the case, it's terrible!"
Several boys tried to help Professor Kettleborn to move the two Fliggy statues on him, but they eventually failed... Although the Fliggy statues did not attack them, they still refused to move away from Professor Kettleborn.
Professor Kettleborn was already exhausted and fainted.
"What should we do?" Penelo Clinwatt and Gema Farley, two female chiefs, looked unintentional.
"Just as Evans said, let's go to Hogsmeade first!" Or Cedric Diggory finally made the decision, "At least it's safe over there!"
The vast team of low-grade students began to move towards Hogsmeade under the leadership of three senior leaders.
Along the way, there were constant discussions.
...
The middle and senior Hogwarts students, led by several teachers, passed through the gardens between Hogwarts Castle; along the other road, they arrived at the second floor of the castle.
They seemed unable to leave the castle anymore, because the only exit, the gate, of the castle, had been blocked by the domestic elves.
The originally docile slaves now attacked their "masters".
Even teachers dare not wield their wands to attack the gate; because they are worried that if they get angry with the house elves, it will be terrible if they start using the house elves' magic to deal with the wizards... You know, wizards have almost zero understanding of the house elves' magic system!"
"What the hell is going on?" Fred Weasley said breathlessly, "Why did those elves become like this? In theory, they should not be unable to violate their master's orders, and they are even more unlikely to attack their master!"
There is no doubt that these situations that occur today have completely exceeded their perception of creatures like domestic elves.
"I don't know," Lee Jordan smiled bitterly, he was exhausted, "maybe they won't regard us as their masters now!"
"Wake up, we have never been the masters of house elves," George Weasley corrected. "The only ones who can really order house elves are the principal of Hogwarts, and perhaps teachers..."
George Weasley's words seemed to come to an abrupt end, and his face suddenly changed.
Fred Weasley and Lee Jordan were also stunned.
At this time, the three of them all thought of going together—
The principal and teacher of Hogwarts are the masters of the house elves, and the house elves suddenly disobey their master's orders... This means...
"What should we do, guys?" Lee Jordan asked for a pause, "Find the map of the pointed fork, bigfoot and moonface, seek some help, quietly leave the castle?"
"I think we should stay and see what happens next!" Fred said seriously.
"Yes, that's it!" George continued.
...
Professor Vita Rozier was not with the students.
Obviously, as the vice-chancellor of Hogwarts, she knew very well where the problem arose!
After coming to the second floor through the garden, she ignored the noisy and annoying mice and house elves downstairs.
Instead, she walked straight to the headmaster's office.
Ten minutes later, she came to the extremely ugly giant stone monster.
With a gentle wave of his wand, the stone monster moved aside; Professor Rozier walked into the spiral staircase behind the monster.
Like an escalator, it slowly rose and grew higher and higher until an oak door appeared in front of her, and there was a brass door knocker in the shape of a lion-headed beast.
In addition, the oak door was not locked, but was just a cover.
To be continued...
