The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

He took a small raven out of his pocket, tossed it away, and waved his wand.

"Grow bigger quickly!"

The crow transformed into a giant fireball, shining like the sun over the forest.

“Go, Edgar, kill those giants, then come back to me.”

He shouted a command, then transformed into a peregrine falcon once more, leaving Edgar's cries behind, and flew at full speed toward Hogwarts Castle.

Flying over the Forbidden Forest, Scott witnessed the battle taking place on Black Lake.

Countless Grindylo churned on the lake's surface, battling the mermaid tribe in the Black Lake and the Grindylo tamed by the mermaids.

In addition, several giant water snakes are attacking the giant octopus in the Black Lake.

The waves rolled, and the lake water was stained red with blood.

Scott transformed back into human form and released the water-attribute "summoned beast" Sirein, enlarging its body as well.

"Sirein, eliminate the intruders!"

Encased in a giant water sphere, the sailfish descended from the sky like a giant arrow, instantly piercing through a giant snake that was besieging the giant octopus.

Before Scott could transform back into a peregrine falcon, he felt a chilling cold.

He turned around and saw that several Dementors were approaching him at full speed.

"Take the God's Protection!"

Scott decisively waved his wand.

A silver peregrine falcon flew out, blocking the chilling aura, and then flew at full speed toward the Dementors.

Faced with Scott's guardian spirit, the Dementors quickly retreated.

Scott took the opportunity to transform into an Animagus again and flew over the castle gates facing Hogwarts.

Below, two wizards are leading a group of werewolves and two giants, charging towards the castle gates.

The two leading wizards were none other than Barty Crouch Jr., who was most loyal to Voldemort, and Bellatrix Lestrange.

Chapter 488 Entering Hogwarts

From his vantage point in the sky, Scott could see clearly that the situation was not critical, as the entire Hogwarts Castle was protected by a magical barrier.

But the battle wasn't limited to the Forbidden Forest, Black Lake, and the Gate. On the covered bridge on the other side of Black Lake, vampires could also be seen rushing about.

Scott understood.

It seems that this war was indeed planned by Voldemort for a long time. Not only was he trying to contain the Ministry of Magic, but he also planned to launch an attack on Hogwarts from four directions.

With the Dementors occupying the sky, Hogwarts is practically surrounded on all sides.

Scott flew over the castle gate, chirping, and Professor McGonagall, who was guarding the gate, looked up and saw him.

Upon seeing him, Professor McGonagall first covered her mouth in surprise, then quickly waved for him to leave.

Scott certainly wouldn't leave. Although he couldn't get into the castle now, there was still plenty he could do.

After confirming that Professor McGonagall had seen him, Scott flew into the woods beside the road in front of the castle gate.

After landing and transforming into human form, Scott released Golza.

"Grow bigger quickly!"

With a wave of his wand, he transformed Golza into a true Komodo dragon.

Scott gave the order: "Go, Golza. Sneak in from underground and ambush the intruders at the castle gate."

Golza shook its ugly, ferocious head, then burrowed into the ground and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Scott then released the last "summoned beast," the golden eagle Horus, and used a spell to enlarge its size as well.

"Your mission is to deal with the enemies on the other side of the covered bridge, Horus. If necessary, destroy the bridge."

He reached out and touched the smooth feathers on the golden eagle's neck, then waved his hand.

Horus nodded in a rather humane manner, spread his wings, and flew into the sky, riding the wind away.

Unlike the Golza that hides underground, the giant golden eagle flew out of the forest, naturally attracting the attention of the enemies attacking the gate.

Boom, boom, boom...

Accompanied by heavy footsteps, a giant carrying a huge log, nearly 7 meters tall, was rushing toward Scott's location.

Scott waved his wand and cast several Transfiguration spells, then Apparated to the woods on the other side of the road.

Of course, the giant was unaware of these movements and continued to stride back to his original position, raising the giant log in his hand and letting out a brutal roar.

Seeing no movement in the woods, it took a few more steps, then its foot slipped and it fell into a deep pit.

The crater was created by Scott using his Transfiguration to alter the ground beneath his feet.

The ground looked normal, but it was only a thin layer and could not possibly support the weight of a giant.

The moment it fell into the pit, the surrounding trees also changed.

Their branches twisted together, forming thick arms and huge hands, which together held down the giant who was trying to climb out of the pit.

Just then, a fire crow that Scott had temporarily transformed from a rock took flight.

The giant's body was inside the underground pit, with only its enormous head above ground, which was firmly suppressed by the giant hand that the tree had conjured.

It struggled violently, roaring with its mouth wide open.

Under Scott's control, the fire crow took flight and flew directly into the giant's mouth, spitting scorching fire into its throat.

The giant, who had been struggling violently, froze.

Then, it struggled violently, opened its mouth and crushed the fire crow, a puff of smoke coming out of its mouth.

But soon, its struggles slowed down until they stopped completely.

It's dead.

Scott manipulated several large trees, releasing them to disguise them as ordinary trees.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the dead giant's head.

It's Barty Crouch Jr.

Barty Crouch Jr. looked around, trying to find the wizard who killed the giant, but from his angle, he couldn't see Scott hiding in another grove of trees.

Scott, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes and looked at Voldemort's number one loyalist.

He decided to let him die here.

Scott deliberately made some noise, then Apparated away again.

However, this time he didn't go very far.

Two seconds later, Barty Crouch Jr. was standing in the spot where he had just been standing.

He growled, "Whoever it is... you're dead!"

Scott swiftly cast an anti-Apparition spell and activated the rune circuits he had just left behind.

In an instant, pure darkness descended, enveloping both of them.

"Damn it! The fluorescent light is flashing!"

Barty Crouch Jr. cursed, then, after testing and finding that the Illumination Charm didn't work in illusions, quickly shut his mouth.

Scott couldn't help but chuckle.

It seems that Barty Crouch Jr. was well aware that speaking in complete darkness could reveal his location at any moment, so he wisely and decisively kept his mouth shut.

Unfortunately, darkness was never an obstacle for Scott.

He waved his wand.

In Scott's perception, everything was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Under the effect of the Transfiguration, several long, sharp spikes suddenly emerged from the ground around Barty Crouch Jr., piercing his body from different angles.

The sound of metal piercing flesh and screams rang out almost simultaneously.

The magical fluctuations belonging to Barty Crouch Jr. gradually weakened until they disappeared.

Barty Crouch Jr. is dead.

Perhaps his strength wasn't weak, but Scott's attack was too swift; Barty Crouch Jr. was killed cleanly before he could even unleash his full power.

But Scott did not make the dark illusion disappear.

He sensed that Bellatrix Lestrange had arrived, along with several werewolves.

Lady Lestrange did not approach this place rashly, let alone enter the dark illusion.

She waved her hand, signaling one of the werewolves to begin its action.

Although the werewolf hesitated for a moment, he still obediently stepped into the dark illusion.

Once inside the darkness, the werewolf sniffed.

"Got you!"

He laughed and pounced on Scott at lightning speed.

Scott used his cloak to levitate, passing over the werewolf's head while waving his wand.

Several long, sharp spikes sprouted from the ground again, piercing the werewolf's body.

The werewolf's screams rang out, and Lady Lestrange and the other werewolves froze, not taking any further action for the time being.

Scott, however, was communicating with Golza, who was located underground, and instructed it to launch a sneak attack on Bellatrix Lestrange.

Then, he transformed into a peregrine falcon once more, flew out from the other end of the dark illusion, circled around, and landed on a large tree behind Bellatrix and the others, just in time to witness Golza's sneak attack.

On the ground behind Bellatrix, Golza, like a fish surfacing, silently and slowly rose from the rock-covered ground.

Then, it opened its enormous mouth.

"careful!"

At that moment, a werewolf gave a warning.
