The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

“Well, there’s no time to explain,” Scott said. “Do you know where Dumbledore went?”

"I know."

Rimbaud flapped his wings and nodded.

"After Voldemort and the Death Eaters retreated, your headmaster collapsed soon after; he seemed exhausted."

"This……"

Scott was somewhat surprised, but also understood.

The confrontation between Dumbledore and Voldemort today did indeed last quite a while.

It has been almost an hour since the battle began.

Dumbledore was simply too old, and his physical strength was declining.

It seems that although he can maintain his peak combat power, he cannot fight for long.

"But he didn't faint."

Rimbaud added.

"The phoenix took him away."

"I see."

Scott didn't have time to talk to Lambodo and hung up the call immediately.

So, where did Dumbledore go?

Scott glanced back at Hogwarts Castle.

Professor Flitwick had previously stated that Professor McGonagall could only mobilize a portion of the castle's defenses, perhaps...

Whether Dumbledore needs time to recover his strength or to strengthen the castle's protective magic, these people will have to hold on during this period.

With that in mind, Scott put away the [Magic Mirror], drew his wand, and began chanting the Ironclad Charm incantation.

At the same time, he was also observing the changes in the magic barrier.

With everyone's help, the situation did improve.

With this mutual attrition, even now that Voldemort has arrived in person, it is unlikely that he will be able to break through this magical barrier as in the "original story".

After all, the magic barrier in the "original work" was entirely supported by a few wizards and did not utilize the castle's own magic source.

But Scott wasn't entirely sure about his own deductions.

On the other hand, they also didn't want the war to end like this.

In any case, if more of Voldemort's forces can be depleted, then this war will be worthwhile.

Having made up his mind, Scott connected his consciousness with his four "summoned beasts" and conveyed his commands.

After the order was given, he immediately transformed into a peregrine falcon and flew into the sky, landing on the shoulder of the giant knight statue. He then transformed back into human form and looked down at the Voldemort's team outside the door.

At that moment, he felt Voldemort, who was floating higher above, looking at him.

Even through the magical barrier, Scott could clearly feel a heavy pressure.

This oppressive force cannot be explained by the strong oppressing the weak; it is more like a crazy and bloody oppression of common sense.

Just like a normal person would feel a little uneasy seeing a crazy person who doesn't care about anything.

Scott quickly calmed himself down, looked up and met Voldemort's gaze, and cast several Ironclad Charms in his direction.

Voldemort narrowed his crimson eyes and gave him a bloodthirsty smile.

If it were based on my previous personality and style, I would never have become the first to stick my neck out like this.

Scott thought.

But at this moment, he still stepped forward.

Before he could even process his own transformation, Scott gave Voldemort a faint smile.

Meanwhile, his hands continued to work, and he and the others continued to repair the magic barrier with the Ironclad Charm.

Meanwhile, in his perception, Horus and Edgar had already hidden in the woods on the left side of the road, and Sirein had also reached the woods on the right.

Voldemort seemed surprised by the behavior of an underage student in his sight, and gave him a deep look.

Taking advantage of Voldemort's attention being drawn to him, Scott directly ordered the "summoned beasts" to launch an attack.

First, Horus's agile body soared into the sky, its broad wings reflecting golden light. It came riding on a gust of wind and opened its mouth to spit out a dense cloud of wind blades downwards.

White wind blades scattered among the crowd, and simultaneously, bright red blood flowers bloomed.

The Death Eaters, realizing what was happening, quickly began to defend themselves.

The giants, in particular, used their enormous bodies to block the others and shattered the wind blades with their massive hands.

As the Death Eaters brandished their wands in retaliation, Horus had already soared into the distant sky on the wind.

The attack happened in an instant; all the enemies outside the door, including Voldemort, stopped attacking the magical barrier.

Amidst the chaos, Golza poked its head out of the ground, opened its mouth, and bit Fenrir Greyback's leg hard.

The infamous werewolf leader looked up and let out a painful howl.

Those around him immediately launched an attack on Golza, but it was blocked by the rock armor covering its entire body.

But Golza didn't linger; instead, he quickly released his grip and sank into the ground.

Golza's toxins had little effect on giants, but were quite effective against werewolves.

Even Fenrir Greyback, the strongest werewolf, lost his balance and fell to the ground in a short time.

Upon seeing this, the Death Eaters dared not gather together and quickly dispersed, beginning to use magic to attack the ground in an attempt to find Golza hidden in the ground.

But their efforts were clearly in vain; Golza had already fled far away on Scott's orders.

Scott, standing on the shoulders of the giant knight statue, clearly saw this scene and couldn't help but smile.

Both surprise attacks were quite effective; at the very least, no one is attacking the magic barrier anymore.

Voldemort in the sky was clearly very displeased with this.

He glanced at Scott again.

But to Scott's surprise, he ignored the chaos among his men and launched another attack on the magic barrier.

They really are very composed.

Scott sighed inwardly.

Or perhaps, the Dark Lord simply doesn't care about the lives of his subordinates?

That being the case...

The next second, another dark figure flew up from the woods.

Edgar used the "Skill" of [Swift Flight], sweeping through the air like a shadow and spitting out a scorching line of fire.

Meanwhile, the other end of the line of fire was aimed directly at Voldemort himself in the air.

Voldemort, who was attacking the magical barrier, did not turn around.

A silver shield appeared out of thin air behind him, directly blocking the attack from the line of fire.

While blocking the fire, he didn't even stop attacking the magic barrier.

At this moment, the Death Eaters below began to attack Edgar.

The wizards cast spells, the vampires took flight in cloaks resembling ground bats, and the giants simply swung their massive logs.

Faced with the siege, Edgar made the same choice as Horus: to fly directly into the sky like an arrow.

It was very fast, leaving the attack far behind.

During this process, it can even adjust its angle so that the fire it spews from its mouth keeps scorching the silver shield on Voldemort's back.

Meanwhile, or rather, while everyone's attention was drawn to Edgar, a giant water sphere floated up from the woods.

It was Sirin who appeared.

It swam swiftly, its tail swishing, and thrust out a water sphere from its long, sword-like upper jaw, spitting out a slender water blade that attacked Voldemort's side.

Faced with both the [water blade] and the [fire line], Voldemort finally stopped the spell he was using to attack the magic barrier and waved his wand to summon another silver shield to block the water blade.

But this was the moment Scott had been waiting for. The instant the water blade was blocked, Sir Rein immediately moved his body and changed his angle.

The white water blades streaked through the air, passing over the massive bodies of the two giants, before turning red.

It then continued on its way, cutting Fenrir Greyback, who was lying on the ground poisoned, in half at the waist.

But Voldemort's counterattack was also launched.

The other giant python, transformed from Fiery Blaze, launched itself toward the enormous water sphere.

Sirai immediately stopped spitting out water blades, retreated back into the water sphere, and turned to leave.

However, the water sphere was too large, and although it swam very fast, it was clearly unable to escape the pursuit of the Fiery Python.

Scott was well aware of the weaknesses of the "summoned creatures." Due to the special materials used to make them, they were "immune" to most spells, and could even directly resist the Killing Curse.

For them, Fiendfyre is definitely the most targeted form of dark magic.

Fortunately, the four "summoned beasts" can cooperate with each other.

Just as the water sphere of Sirein was being overtaken by the Fiery Serpent, Horus descended from the sky, his wings whipping up a fierce wind.

The swirling storm crashed directly into the fiery serpent.

Flames are extremely unstable, especially Fiendfire. Even Voldemort, whose skill in shaping Fiendfire was unparalleled, was still blown apart by the storm when the Fiendfire gathered together.

Horus dodged Voldemort's successive spells. Although Cyrene's water sphere was deformed and almost scattered under the attack of several spells, Cyrene, who was hiding in the center of the water sphere, was not directly harmed.

It quickly wagged its tail and ran away.

Voldemort did not give chase.

Because Edgar was constantly changing the angle of his fire from above, Voldemort had to adjust the position of his silver shield accordingly.

The instant Sirein fled, Edgar moved dramatically, sinking as it did so, allowing the scorching flames to sweep across the vampire. Then, it stopped spitting fire and flew away without looking back.

But the vampires, being flammable, suffered the consequences in that instant. With several screams, a few vampires turned into fireballs and fell from mid-air.
