The Silent Witch of Hogwarts

Chapter 605 Uniting All Forces

"So what should we do next?"

In the headmaster's office at Hogwarts, the professors sat together, looking at each other with worried expressions.

Yes—what should we do?

Miss Hamilton captured the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic and imprisoned them—which freed Hogwarts from the Ministry's control—but also raised a new problem.

The Ministry of Magic certainly won't stand idly by—but what will happen when the Ministry of Magic arrives?

After sitting in her chair and thinking for a few seconds, McGonagall said, "In any case—we need to figure out how to deal with the Ministry of Magic."

"Can you get in touch with Headmaster Dumbledore?" Flitwick asked slowly. "If Headmaster Dumbledore were here, that would be wonderful."

"It's a pity—Headmaster Dumbledore has been missing for a long time." McGonagall shook her head helplessly. "He may have his own thoughts or things on his mind—"

"Then it's best if we don't clash with the Ministry of Magic," Professor Sprout of Hufflepuff said slowly. "Hogwarts is, after all, a school—we can't exactly fight them here, can we?"

"No—this is no longer a problem that can be solved by simply avoiding conflict with them," McGonagall stated bluntly. "The Ministry of Magic has been taken over by Voldemort."

"They will never let Hogwarts go—"

"Then let's fight them to the bitter end!" Hagrid shouted at that moment.

"madness!"

McGonagall didn't reply, but Snape spoke slowly, glancing sideways at Hagrid, and said, "Do you expect the students to fight against the Aurors?"

"And—strictly speaking, we're the criminals now." He shook his head and looked at Loila, who had been sitting silently in her chair: "Miss Hamilton—what do you think we should do?"

"As the instigator of all this."

"Hmm!"

Loila, who was suddenly called out, rubbed her hands together awkwardly.

She didn't say anything because she didn't know what to do!

Ultimately, the reason for fighting with the Ministry of Magic is that they attacked their own friends.

Roy hadn't considered what to do if the Ministry of Magic attacked.

Do you want to surrender?

No, that won't do—I don't want to obediently walk into Azkaban if I surrender—and the Ministry of Magic is controlled by Voldemort—that would definitely be too dangerous—

What should we do then?

Should we confront the Ministry of Magic?

That's not entirely impossible—Lloyd has already taken control of most of the magic circles in Hogwarts Castle—with the support of various magic circles, the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic shouldn't be able to break in—

But—she pursed her lips and looked at the professors sitting there.

Then, mustering his courage, he said, "I have a—an idea."

"?!"

Seeing everyone's somewhat surprised expressions, Loila pursed her lips. "Didn't you all tell me you had a solution? Why are you all so surprised now that I'm telling you?"

"First of all—first of all, this only concerns me—so—so all the professors should hurry and leave Hogwarts," Loira said slowly. "And the students—tell them to hurry and leave too."

"I'll take on the Ministry of Magic by myself—"

"Absolutely not, Professor Hamilton!" Hagrid was the first to object, slamming his fist on the table. "One man against the entire Ministry of Magic is suicide!"

"You fought the Ministry of Magic to save Harry and the others, and I will never abandon you!"

Hagrid! Roila was so moved she almost cried.

"That's settled then, Hagrid—you stay and die with Professor Hamilton," Snape said with a hint of sarcasm. "Don't you understand the situation yet?"

"Professor Snape, what do you mean by this?" Hagrid asked, looking at him with displeasure. "Are you trying to run away?"

"Is your head filled with the dung of magical creatures?" Snape frowned and said coldly, "Whether it's just Professor Hamilton or you included—the result is the same."

Then Snape looked at Royla: "And Professor Hamilton—have you forgotten something?"

"You're not just a professor at Hogwarts."

Well?

Professor Snape means—am I still a Muscat? But getting help from the Rozier family about this would be very difficult—

Ah—no, no! Loila suddenly realized what she meant and said, "The Order of the Phoenix?"

"Not completely stupid," Snape said, slowly rising to his feet. "I'll go tell those people in the Order of the Phoenix—they're always hiding in Black's mansion—it's time they came out and started making some moves."

With that, Snape quickly left the headmaster's office.

Watching his retreating figure, Loila pursed her lips and nodded—that's right, the Order of the Phoenix is ​​a force she can borrow. After all, they are Dumbledore's people, and protecting Hogwarts is their mission, isn't it?

However—looking at the professors in the principal's office, Luo Yili pursed her lips and continued, "Then, professors—"

"Let's leave quickly—"

"Hogwarts will be very dangerous—"

"Don't say that, Professor Hamilton," McGonagall said slowly. "You fought against the Ministry of Magic to protect the students and Hogwarts."

"Do you think you're the only one with this kind of determination?" McGonagall said, shaking her head slightly. "I will fight alongside you."

"Me too," Flitwick said slowly, waving his wand at Loila. "I've disliked Umbridge for a long time—and now—and the Ministry of Magic—they've completely fallen!"

"I'll stay too." Sprout nodded slightly. "If Hogwarts falls, no one can stop Fudge and Voldemort behind him."

Watching the professors decide to stay one by one, Loila pursed her lips and said, "But—but this is dangerous!"

"It would be fine if it were just me—and you don't have any dealings with the Ministry of Magic—"

"Don't say that," McGonagall interrupted Loila. "You're not the only one fighting against the Ministry of Magic—Miss Hamilton."

"At times like these, we should unite even more—" she said, looking at the professors present. "Then I'll leave it to you all. We must be prepared before the Ministry of Magic arrives."

"Professor Flitwick, please evacuate the students. Except for those who are wanted by the Ministry of Magic and are to be arrested, send all other students home immediately."

"Professor Sprout, please place dangerous plants around Hogwarts to defend against a possible attack from the Ministry of Magic."

,

"Hagrid—can you make contact with the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest and gain their support?"

McGonagall stood in the center of the Headmaster's office, methodically assigning tasks to each professor. After they all nodded earnestly and left Hogwarts, only Professor Roy and Professor McGonagall remained in the Headmaster's office.

"Professor McGonagall—" Looking at Professor McGonagall, Loira's nose twitched slightly. This matter clearly had nothing to do with them—

—But they still want to stay.

This is a very dangerous thing—Roy certainly knows this—and it is precisely because she knows this that she doesn't quite understand.

"Miss Hamilton—" McGonagall walked to Loila's side, bent down slightly, and placed her hand on Loila's head. "Or rather, Loila—"

"From the moment you first joined Hogwarts—we've worked together for four years—I know what you're thinking—" McGonagall said, a slight smile appearing on her face. "That's precisely why—I can't leave you alone."

"We care about those students just as much as you do—" McGonagall's voice was incredibly gentle, completely different from her usual serious demeanor: "So please let us help you too."

"We're all Hogwarts people, aren't we?"
