Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 401 Dumbledore's Army Attacks

"Sirius is in danger! I must save him!"

In Mike's dormitory of Ravenclaw College, Hermione and Ron were looking at the hysterical Harry with worried faces.

Ever since Mike left, Harry's emotions began to get out of control. They had been trying to persuade Harry to go back to sleep early, but now it seemed that their efforts were in vain. No matter what they said or how they persuaded him, Harry just stayed here and refused to leave.

All this made Hermione very anxious. Before leaving, Mike had told them to keep an eye on Harry.

As friends, no matter how much Mike warned them, they would not let Harry go to the Ministry of Magic. This was their duty as close friends. They could not let Harry take risks, let alone let him give up tomorrow's Transfiguration exam.

But judging from the current situation, Harry will not calm down for a while, and if the situation gets worse, it is not impossible that he will make noise all night.

But it's not just Harry, she herself has to take a Transfiguration exam tomorrow!
Unlike Harry, Michael and others, Hermione takes this OWLS exam more seriously than anything else!

'I have to find a way to calm Harry down as soon as possible, otherwise I will have to go to the exam tomorrow without a good rest! Oh my God, I will definitely fail the exam!'

Thinking of this, Hermione's eyes suddenly lit up and she said to Harry:

"Harry, it's not that we don't want you to go, it's just that it's already dark now, how are you going to go? You should know that no professor will allow you to leave Hogwarts at night, not even Hagrid."

Harry on the other side was still yelling, and was also stunned when he heard this, and then he stammered:
"I... I can take the Firebolt! The Firebolt is very fast, it should be fast enough..."

"You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible!" Hermione interrupted, "Let's not talk about whether your body can withstand the process of flying a Firebolt over a long distance. Let me ask you a question. Do you know the way?"

"This……"

Harry was completely speechless now. Seeing this, Hermione smiled slightly and yawned.
"So, Harry, let's go back and take a shower. After we finish the exam tomorrow..."

"I think I can help you."

At this time, a weak voice came from the corner of the dormitory.

The appearance of this sound made Hermione hold back a yawn that was halfway through. He coughed twice with difficulty, and then looked towards the source of the sound fiercely.

To her surprise, the person who spoke was actually a house-elf, and Hermione knew him. He was one of the two house-elves who had always been with Mike, named Beta.

Hermione was deeply impressed by him, because compared to another house-elf named Shuke, the Beta in front of her was really too active, even to the point of being naughty.

However, Beta was obviously not that active today. The two pointed ears that had always stood tall on his head had now drooped down to the sides of his head. His big eye sockets were filled with tears, and he looked very sad.

"Beta! You said you have a solution?"

Harry shouted excitedly, looking at Beta with a fiery gaze.

"Yes, Mr. Harry Potter, the master once took us to the Ministry of Magic, so I remember the way." Beta whimpered, "If you need, I can use Apparition to take you there."

"Great!"

Harry hugged Ron and Beta together at once. Ron was a little overwhelmed by being hugged suddenly. He was too sleepy just now and had fallen asleep. Now he could only say hello twice.

"Wait! Stop now!"

Hermione shouted at the three people in front of her to stop their behavior, frowned and asked Beta:

"Didn't your master forbid Harry to leave Hogwarts? As a house elf, why did you disobey your master's orders?"

As soon as these words came out, the tears that had been accumulating in Beta's eyes for a long time finally found a breakthrough and gushed out like a flood breaking through a dam.

At the same time, Beta was banging his forehead against the marble coffee table beside him frantically. The loud noises woke Ron up completely!

"Hermione! Why are you asking him such a question! Damn it! Beta, stop it and stop hurting yourself!"

Harry yelled, reaching out to pull Beta.

However, to his surprise, Beta stopped self-harming as soon as his hand touched the other person's arm, and said in a tearful voice:

"Beta is a bad house-elf. Beta disobeyed the master's orders! But Beta has no other choice. The master went to the Ministry of Magic alone. Beta is worried that the master is no match for the Dark Lord! So please, the great Harry Potter, who has defeated the Dark Lord once, please go and save the master!"

When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

Among them, Harry's eyes suddenly turned red.

He was still angry about Mike's previous treatment of him, but what he didn't expect was that Mike actually went to the Ministry of Magic alone for him!

At this moment, he felt an emotion called regret gushing out from his chest.

"Hurry!" Harry shouted to Beta anxiously with red eyes, "Take me to the Ministry of Magic, I want to help Mike!"

A look of joy appeared on Beta's face. He stretched out his hand and was about to grab Harry's arm, but his hand was interrupted by Hermione who was standing beside him.

"and many more!"

"What's wrong, Hermione!" Harry said dissatisfiedly, "Do you still want to stop me? I tell you, I'm going to the Ministry of Magic today, and even God can't stop me!"

"You misunderstood me! Your own strength is not enough, so we have to go together! Not just us, but also the members of the da army! Everyone has received so much kindness from Mike, now it's time to repay him with action!"

Hermione said this with a determined look on her face, her attitude was a 180-degree reversal from before, which surprised Harry greatly.

But this surprise was soon replaced by joy, because Hermione's idea was so good!

"I still have the list of the original army members. Now I have to ask you to notify them, Beta!"

Hermione said through gritted teeth, her face already turning red.

The moment she heard that Mike might be in danger, she forgot all about the exam. At this moment, there was only one thing she wanted to do, and that was to save Mike!

"Got it, Miss Hermione Granger!" Beta wiped her tears, took the parchment from Hermione with a determined face, turned around and left Mike's dormitory.

Harry and the other two all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, but what no one knew was that the resolute expression on Beta's face immediately turned into endless joy after he left the dormitory!

He turned his head to look at the dormitory door with his mouth wide open, then left the Ravenclaw common room humming a song he had composed!

"Beta has completed the master's task! Beta is the most capable house-elf! Oh yeah..."

Beta was very efficient. Taking advantage of the privilege of being a house-elves and being able to move freely within Hogwarts, he completed the task Hermione assigned him in just half an hour.

So, at this moment, Mike's not-so-small dormitory was crowded with people, and many people who had no place to stand could only sit on Mike's bed.

Hermione stared at the closed door with a gloomy face.

Although many people came now, she was still not satisfied, because almost all of them were members invited by her, Harry and others to join the army, and none of those who were personally brought into the army by Mike came.

This was undoubtedly a betrayal in her eyes!
"Don't wait, they won't come."

Franklin said impatiently.

At the moment, he was only wearing a set of pajamas. After Mike left, he returned to his dormitory to rest.

Although he had already received orders from Mike not to leave Hogwarts tonight, he still came here regardless of everything after receiving Beta's notice.

He doesn't care about any damn orders!
He only knew that his best brother was now fighting desperately with the enemy in the Ministry of Magic, and he must go up and lend a hand to him!
As for those mutual aid society members who did not come, Franklin did not blame them at all.

If Mike asked all these people to go to the Ministry of Magic to fight, Franklin believed that these people would definitely do it, but now they have also received a house arrest order from Mike.

You know, not everyone dares to disobey Mike's orders!
Looking at the crowd around him, Franklin smiled proudly, because at this moment he was the only Masonic member here, which meant that he was the one with the greatest courage and had the best relationship with Mike!
Hermione sighed, shook her head and shifted her gaze back, but at this moment, the door was knocked again!
The door was opened by Beta, and the person outside was exposed to everyone's sight.

"Benjamin? And Zhou Hong? Why are you here?"

Franklin screamed in surprise. The appearance of these two people completely ruined his solitary rescue plan!
"Beta also notified us. After thinking for a while, I decided to take action." Benjamin said seriously, "As for the others, they also wanted to come, but considering their strength was too low, I still persuaded them to stay."

Franklin nodded nonchalantly, he had never doubted the feelings between the Freemasons. Just like the name of their organization, everyone was companions in the same boat and would never harm each other!
"Okay, it's getting late, let's get started quickly. If the rest of you don't want to come, then don't come!"

Harry said anxiously, he couldn't wait to set off.

Benjamin nodded, and took Zhou Hong to stand next to Franklin, and Hermione also spoke at this time.

"Everyone, I believe Beta has already told you the general situation. But I want to emphasize again here that our operation this time is extremely dangerous, and everyone here is likely to be injured or even sacrificed! (Everyone gasped) There is also a Transfiguration exam tomorrow, so if you don't want to go, you can leave now. I promise that none of us will blame you!"

After that, the dormitory fell into an eerie silence. Several students looked unhappy. Anyone could see that they wanted to get up and leave, but were afraid of being embarrassed so they did not move.

At this moment, Neville, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly stood up.

His face was red, his chest was heaving violently, and he looked very nervous.

The students who wanted to leave were delighted to see this. They bet that Neville must have stood up and said he wanted to leave. You know, Neville was notoriously timid in Hogwarts. Some even suspected that the Sorting Hat had made a mistake and that a loser like him who had no courage at all should go to Hufflepuff (Sorry, Hufflepuff!).

However, their hopes were dashed. Although Neville was very nervous about being watched by everyone, he still spoke clearly and firmly:

"I'm going to help Mike! He's my friend!"

Now those students were stunned. They looked at Neville, who was nicknamed "Grandma's baby", in astonishment, their minds were a little confused.

Harry and Ron screamed and hugged Neville, saying words of thanks to him.

Neville's face turned even redder. He raised his hands and hugged Harry and Ron awkwardly, feeling a little overwhelmed.

With his start, many people took the initiative to stand up and declared that they must rescue Sirius and Michael, including junior students like Luna.

Hermione and the other two seemed extremely happy. They expressed their gratitude over and over again, and Harry's eyes even became wet.

The students who wanted to leave looked at each other, their expressions were all extremely ugly.

Thinking about the crucial exam tomorrow, one of them gritted his teeth, stood up, and walked towards the door in silence.

Seeing that someone had taken the lead, the others also stood up dejectedly and followed him out of Mike's dormitory.

They moved extremely quickly, as if they were afraid Hermione would laugh at them.

However, Hermione and the others did not say any words of blame or retention. Everyone just looked at their backs in silence.

Although no one mocked them, everyone knew in their hearts that the people who left were all cowardly losers. They were not even as good as Grandma Bonavi!

Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, and finally Hermione stood up. She looked at the army members in the room and Beta, Poppy and other house elves who were called to help, clenched her fist and shouted:

"Dumbledore's Army! Attack!"

"Attack!"
……

On the ceiling of the Ministry of Magic hall, a huge portrait of the current Minister of Magic, Fudge, is looking down at the vast magical hall below.

During the day, this is the power center of the entire wizarding world of Yingguo. Countless staff from the Ministry of Magic and wizards who come to handle matters will crowd this vast indoor square.

This bustling scene will last from 7am when the Ministry of Magic opens to 5pm when it closes.

But unlike during the day, the magic hall was silent late at night, and the only sound echoing in the wide space was the sound of running water from the Magic Brothers Hot Spring.

If Fudge's portrait had any self-awareness like the magical portraits, then he would have a gloomy expression right now, because he, like his master, always loved power and admiration.

But the night will eventually pass, and when the sun rises, he will be able to look down on those wizards who are like ants again!
Just as Fudge was looking forward to the arrival of daylight, a sudden burst of fire in the magic hall caught his attention!
