Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 135 The chaotic battlefield

The long procession emerged from the common lounge.

The veteran and new sergeant leaders took the lead, guiding each team to their designated location according to the established plan.

George and Fred exchanged a glance in the crowd, quietly moved to the back of the line, and then suddenly turned around the next corner to head to the secret passage to meet up with their teammates.

Their falling behind wasn't unnoticed, but the prefects simply didn't intervene—they knew their own personalities and knew it was impossible to expect everyone to follow the plan.

Moreover, their plan itself was very hasty—they had no experience in war, so how could they possibly learn to command in an instant?

Percy really wanted to lead others, but unfortunately, not many people were willing to listen to him.

For older students, this is a chance to test what they've learned—they just want to see how they perform in a completely chaotic battlefield and whether they can 'survive'.
With this mindset, Gryffindor's large group was thrown into complete chaos after just the first wave of enemies.

A few chaotic shouts of "Expel your weapon!" and "Petrify them all!" rang out, and a red beam of light struck a statue, exploding into a burst of sparks.

Someone shouted out:

"They outnumber us! Spread out and attack!"

Subsequently, the so-called tactical strategy was completely abandoned.

Some used flying brooms to fly up the stairs to find a high vantage point, some hid behind armor as cover, and some charged directly into the enemy ranks, attracting a lot of attention while quickly surrounding themselves with obstacle spells.

His idea was ingenious—but the next moment, as the older students made their move, the rock layers he created immediately snapped shut, sealing him inside.

Similar to the Gryffindor operation, Slytherin did not attempt a unified operation. Instead, they formed teams of three to five individuals and entered the castle battlefield through various secret passages and entrances.

The upper grades have already been given clear goals:
Their hatred is too intense, so we should keep a low profile and avoid battle in the early stages, letting the other three academies fight first.

They would make their move quietly once the other colleges had exhausted their resources.

The Ravenclaw students didn't even have a pre-battle pep talk—they had made all the preparations the night before, and by morning each squad was already in their designated positions.

All students near the library and the astronomy tower will be under their full firepower.

As for the Hufflepuffs, all the students, including the seventh graders, unanimously agreed to elect Cedric as their leader.

Led by Cedric, they took advantage of the lounge's proximity to the Great Hall to seize the entrance immediately. They then used Transfiguration to quickly create bunkers and "cannon muzzles," allowing even younger wizards to freely use full-body binding spells on the cannon muzzles.

Quiet.

Absolute silence.

"Gudong."

Some of the Hufflepuff students nervously swallowed.

The commotion caused when everyone set off earlier only made the castle seem even quieter now.

Looking at the empty halls and corridors, the Hufflepuff students had a strange feeling—it was as if the entire Hogwarts had been forgotten, and they were the only ones left in the castle.

This was a very difficult situation for the children; they even found it boring after only a few minutes.

Fortunately, breakfast arrived at that moment.

Yes, the house-elves went to work as usual on this day. Cedric arranged for several students to be responsible for distributing food to the students who were waiting.

As for the noise and chatter they made during the meal, Cedric simply pretended not to notice.

It's normal that everyone is participating in such a large-scale battle for the first time, and it's not fair to expect them to be "strict in military discipline."

Moreover, there's no need to nitpick over details like this. As long as everyone stays in one place and focuses their efforts in one direction, the results will already far surpass those of other colleges.

However, if things continue like this, I fear morale will soon crumble. Cedric watched his classmates happily eating, wondering what to do next.

But just when he was having a headache, his "savior" arrived.

With a distinct sound of footsteps, a large group of Gryffindor students came into view—it seemed they had come looking for food.

The Hufflepuff students looked at Cedric with delight, awaiting his instructions.

But Cedric just clenched his fists and didn't rush to speak.

As the Gryffindors drew closer, some of the young wizards grew impatient and were about to make their move when a sudden commotion came from a corner of the corridor—a small group of Slytherin students peeked out and bumped right into dozens of Gryffindors.

The two groups stared at each other for a second before realizing what was happening, and then chaos ensued!
"Collapse!"

The red beam of light resembled a fuse igniting a powder keg.

The entire hall erupted into chaos in an instant, with multicolored incantations illuminating the corridors like a nightclub at night.

The red sleeping spell and the green counter-spell collided in the air, emitting a dazzling light.

"Stand stiff and stop dead!"

A Slytherin girl recited a spell precisely, causing a Gryffindor boy who had rushed too far forward to suddenly bring his legs together, falling straight forward like a wooden stake.

"Except your weapons!"

Just as she was about to finish her off with a knockout, Seamus Finnigan yelled and pointed his wand at her.

"There are many obstacles!"

A nearby classmate waved his wand and created a stone wall in front of her.

But the next moment, they both flew out together.

Seamus's spell wasn't Obstacles at all, but Explosion.

"mean!"

Before he lost consciousness, the two girls gave Simo a disdainful look.

Seamus looked down at his wand, then at the effects of the explosion, and was somewhat stunned.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood back to back, forming a small triangular defensive circle.

"Except your weapons!"

Harry's Disarming Charm accurately knocked away the wand of a Slytherin who was trying to ambush Neville.

"All petrified!"

Hermione reacted extremely quickly, freezing an opponent who was approaching from the side in place with clean and swift movements.

The Slytherin group, already scattered, quickly crumbled under the pressure of the large Gryffindor group and fled towards the Great Hall.

"Wuhu! Let's beat a drowning dog!"

Ron let out a joyful shout, gripped his wand tightly, and began chasing after the fleeing figures.

But in the next moment, Cedric, who had been raising his hand the whole time, finally lowered it!
In an instant, dozens of incantations exploded like fireworks, striking the students present from all directions in the auditorium.
