The Silent Witch of Hogwarts

Chapter 607 Hogwarts Prepares for War!

As the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic gripped their wands, preparing for battle, in the Great Hall of Hogwarts, the students also raised their wands, watching the professors standing on the high platform.

"What's going on here—Professor Flitwick?" Looking at the students, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but ask, "Didn't I tell you to evacuate them?"

"This area has already been evacuated," Flitwick said somewhat helplessly. "Most of the students don't want to leave—"

Many of them had originally joined Dumbledore's Army.

"Besides Dumbledore's Army?" McGonagall looked at the students below the stage. Some of them clearly didn't know the idiom "Dumbledore's Army," such as Miss Izaria, who was holding a wand and saying something.

"Besides Dumbledore's Army, there are also Pinecone Party students." Flitwick's answer made McGonagall purse her lips, and then a sense of helplessness rose within her as well.

If there are members of the Pinecone Party, then that's for sure—the Pinecone Party has always been the largest student organization at Hogwarts—and surprisingly, they are also very cohesive.

"Could Professor Hamilton talk to them about it?" McGonagall thought for a moment and then looked at Loila, who was sitting silently in the back.

"Professor Hamilton!"

"Hmm... um?" Loila was looking down, pondering how to deal with the Ministry of Magic, when Professor McGonagall suddenly called out to her, making her seem a little dazed.

"Many of those students are members of the Pinecone Party," McGonagall said succinctly. "Could you try to talk to them?"

"This is dangerous for students."

"Ugh————"

me?

"Go—go persuade others—isn't that a bit too much to ask?" Luo Yi stammered, wanting to refuse, but when she thought about how these students were staying here because of her, she had to purse her lips and slowly get up.

"I—I understand."

She strode up to the students, surrounded by a group of professors, who immediately cheered upon seeing Loila.

"Long live Professor Hamilton!"

Down with the Ministry of Magic!

"No—no!" Looking at the massive, tumultuous commotion before her, Loira almost burst into tears in front of Professor McGonagall—

How can I possibly persuade them?

"Please be quiet!" McGonagall coughed and said, "Professor Hamilton has something to say to everyone."

As she spoke, the students gradually stopped cheering and stared at Loira expectantly, as if anticipating some morale-boosting words from her.

No, Professor McGonagall!

How could she possibly tell these students, who were staring at her expectantly, to hurry up and leave because it was dangerous? — Loira felt this was definitely the biggest crisis she had ever faced.

After a few seconds of silence, she took a deep breath and said, "Everyone—everyone, good evening."

"Long live Professor Hamilton!" "Professor Hamilton is so adorable!" "Down with the Ministry of Magic, Professor Hamilton!"

'

Loila barely uttered a word before the students cheered again. Clearly, after defeating Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic and rescuing Hogwarts, she had become a hero in the hearts of the Hogwarts students, especially given her already considerable popularity.

"Um—um," Loila said, forcing a smile, "Everyone's gathered here—it's not good to be gathered here—why don't we rest for a bit first—we still have to deal with the Ministry of Magic tomorrow—ah, I mean—"

What nonsense am I spouting?! Loila felt like her head was about to overload! Her mouth was talking, but her brain had no idea what she was saying.

Therefore, her words seemed somewhat disjointed—but despite this, the students still heard the most crucial words.

"Fight the Ministry of Magic! Down with the Ministry of Magic!"

"Ah, no, that's not what I meant—if anyone gets hurt or something, I'll—I'll be very sad—" Luo Yili stammered, but her words were no longer effective.

"Professor Hamilton, we will absolutely protect Hogwarts! Please rest assured!" Some excited students even shouted and were about to rush to the podium. If McGonagall hadn't seen this and quickly stopped them, Loira might have been overwhelmed by these excited students.

"Professor Hamilton, what are you talking about?!" Flitwick said helplessly, standing next to Loila. "Aren't you just setting them on the back foot?"

"I—I don't know either," Loila said, biting her lip. "I really don't know what to say—what to say it—"

"But perhaps this is a good thing?" Sprout said slowly. "Just as the students say, Hogwarts is their home—"

"And if Hogwarts falls to the Ministry of Magic this time—then no one will be able to stop Voldemort."

Sprout's words silenced all the professors, a stark contrast to the impassioned students.

In this eerie atmosphere, the doors of the auditorium were slowly pushed open, and Sirius Black led a group of wizards from the Order of the Phoenix into the hall under the watchful eyes of the students.

"Sirius!" Harry was the most excited to see him, and he rushed over shouting Sirius's name.

"Merry Christmas, Harry." Sirius smiled and patted Harry's head, then looked at the professors on the platform.

Standing beside him, Lupin coughed and shouted, "The Order of the Phoenix—is here to support Hogwarts on the orders of Headmaster Dumbledore!"

"The Order of the Phoenix! The Order of the Phoenix!"

Surrounded by the students, the Order of the Phoenix arrived at the podium. Seeing Mr. Lupin approach, Loira pursed her lips and whispered, "Remus—you—you'd better leave—it's dangerous here!"

"What are you saying, Royla?" Lupin chuckled softly. "I'm also a student of Hogwarts, so naturally I'm here to protect Hogwarts—"

Why doesn't anyone listen to me? — Whether they're students or friends — Loila twitched her ears slightly.

However, seeing so many people gathered at Hogwarts, Loira's initial worries eased considerably.

That's true. Actually, I could handle the Ministry of Magic on my own, and now with so many helpers—there's definitely no problem, right?

Loila nodded seriously, no longer thinking about running away. Since she had chosen to take action against the Ministry of Magic, there was no room for escape—then, she would fight them to the very end.

Loila took a deep breath, raised her wand, and flicked it at the ceiling of the Great Hall. Gold and silver fireworks burst from the tip of the wand, exploding in the air to form the Hogwarts crest.

"For Hogwarts!" Lupin shouted.

"For Hogwarts!"
