Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 559 Who doesn't like a beautiful big sister?

That afternoon, dozens of fully armed Aurors entered Hogwarts and began to inspect and block all restricted areas, including the Forbidden Forest and the Slytherin Chamber.

The Room of Requirement became the focus of inspection, and the Aurors even sealed off the entire eighth floor of Hogwarts at Chris's instruction.

In order to cooperate with the Aurors' work, Hogwarts suspended classes for an afternoon, and students had a rare half-day extra holiday.

However, they did not have a happy holiday because they were strictly restricted to the lounge of their respective colleges and were not allowed to go out. Even their dinner was delivered by the house-elves.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Gryffindor lounge became very solemn. The Gryffindors changed their previous habit of chasing and fighting during breaks, and sat in the lounge like eggplants hit by frost, not saying a word.

After the example of Umbridge, they now all knew clearly that Hogwarts would become a hell that they could not endure!

Hermione frowned and paced back and forth in front of the fireplace.

Harry and Ron looked at her with a look of despair. After a while, Harry frowned and said:
"Hermione, could you please stop for a moment? I'm getting dizzy."

"No!" Hermione refused decisively, "This will make my mind more flexible and allow me to further think about the next solution."

"Have you figured it out? Or, when will you figure it out?"

As soon as Harry finished speaking, Hermione stopped and glared at him.

Ron shook his head when he saw this and said tentatively:

"Maybe we don't need to come up with any solutions. Anyway, we only need to stay here for another year before graduating. Isn't it okay if we just bear with it?"

As soon as Ron said this, he found that everyone around him was focusing their attention on him, especially the younger students. Judging from their eyes, they seemed to want to beat Ron up right now.

This made Ron quickly realize that he had said the wrong thing, and he waved his hands at everyone and said:
"I'm sorry! That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say...want to say...uh."

"Okay! You don't have to explain!" Simon, a good friend of the three, jumped out and said, "Ron, you don't deserve to be a Gryffindor at all. Your cowardice makes me ashamed! Compared with your brothers, you are far inferior. You are even worse than your sister Ginny!"

"NO, I have not!"

Ron's face suddenly turned red and he retorted loudly.

However, Simon ignored him and turned to the people who were also taking a break and said:
"This is a war, students! Chris Flint, that bastard, only wants to mess up Hogwarts! And in order to protect Hogwarts, we must stand up! Tonight, I will escape from the common room and cause some trouble for Chris Flint and those Aurors! Are any of you willing to join me?"

"I! I do!"

"And I!"

"Count me in!"

……

For a moment, the Gryffindor lounge became filled with anger, and the Gryffindors who were originally sitting slumped stood up one after another and responded to Simon's call.

Seeing this, Simon looked at Ron provocatively, and then continued:
"Thank you so much for your support! You are all great and much braver than some wimps who only know how to compromise!

But girls should not participate in this action.

Don't rush to refuse, this is the goodwill of all of us boys, just think of it as us suddenly wanting to show our gentlemanly manners!"

After saying that, Modi bowed to the girls, and his funny look caused laughter from many people present.

As for Ron, his face was now almost as red as his hair.

He instinctively wanted to go on a night tour with Modi and the others to prove his courage, but Hermione held him back and shook her head at him.

"Don't go, Ron!" Hermione whispered, "You'll regret it."

Hearing this, Ron's eyes flashed with joy. He pretended to struggle for a few times, and finally shook his head unwillingly, pretending to be unable to break free.

Hermione and Harry rolled their eyes at this scene, but they didn't know what to say.

Soon, led by Modi, a group of Gryffindors left the lounge in a mighty manner.

But it is worth mentioning that if you observe carefully, you will find that most of Modi's team are composed of lower grade students, there are very few higher grade students, and there is not even a seventh grade graduate.

Even the brave Gryffindors are only human.

The fact is just as Ron said, for those senior students or even seventh graders, no matter how hard the days ahead are, they will only last for one or two years or even a few weeks.

Only a fool would take such a big risk for such a small benefit!

Until this moment, Ron pretended to be a little angry and said to Hermione:
"Why won't you let me go?"

"Because I don't want you to be expelled!" Hermione said coldly, "Think about it, the people wandering outside the common room now are not Filch, but Aurors. Those who go out will never escape! And Dumbledore is dead! Without his protection, Chris will probably really expel them!"

Hearing this, Ron was stunned at first, then he shuddered.

"No! I have to stop them!"

Ron instinctively ran towards the common room door, but he was pulled back by Hermione again.

"Give up!" Hermione said in a stronger tone, "They are angry now. If you try to stop them now, you will only end up in trouble! They won't listen to you at all!"

Ron's face darkened, and Harry came up and patted Ron's shoulder comfortingly.

The three of them returned to the fireplace and stared at the exit of the Gryffindor Common Room with the girls who had been rejected by Modi, waiting for their return.

However, they did not return until dawn.

Hearing the shrill wake-up call ringing around them, Harry and the other two finally gave up waiting, gritted their teeth, gulped down a bottle of Dolphin Magic Drink, and left the lounge.

Outside the lounge, a sturdy, unfamiliar wizard was already waiting in the corridor. He looked at the clock on the wall. When the clock reached 6:15, he said to the students gathered in front of him:

"Hello, my name is Lucas Flint, and I'm your new life management teacher. Now, I'm going to take you for a run, and after you finish running a thousand meters, we'll have breakfast, and then we'll go to class according to your new schedule.

I sincerely hope that we can live in peace. Of course, the premise is that you can abide by the school rules set by Principal Flint. Those who do not abide by the rules will be severely punished, such as those who have not gotten up yet. "After saying that, Lucas nodded to the two wizards, a man and a woman, beside him, and they rushed into the lounge.

Many people's faces turned pale instantly, because there were indeed many people in the lounge who had not gotten up yet.

Of course, there are also many people who gloat over other people’s misfortune.

"Okay, let's go. Attention! Boys in one row and girls in another row. I want you to form a neat and orderly team and follow me!"

Following Lucas's order, everyone formed into two somewhat awkward teams and began to walk towards the outside of Hogwarts Castle.

When passing through the entrance hall, everyone finally met the Gryffindor boys who had gone out to cause trouble last night.

They were all seen with their hands tied and hanging in the air. Many of them were covered with scars, some of which looked horrifying, and there was even blood flowing and dripping onto the stone floor.

And judging from the degree of coagulation and size of the bloodstain on the floor, these people must have been hanging in the air for quite a long time!

"See, this is the result of violating school rules." Lucas said coldly, "They were out at night last night and tried to scribble on the walls. They were caught on the spot by patrolling school police! The mastermind, Simon Finnigan, has been expelled. As for the others, Principal Flint decided to let them go because they were first offenders and not the masterminds. They only need to be hung for a whole day!"

Lucas' words caused an uproar in the Gryffindor team, and everyone screamed.

No one could have imagined that those students who were regarded as warriors last night would be hung up like sausages today.

At the same time, many people there, including Ron, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. They all felt very fortunate, and some even seemed to be gloating.

Looking at the shocked Gryffindors, Lucas finally nodded with satisfaction, continued to lead everyone out of Hogwarts, and began to run laps on the Quidditch field.

The 1,000-meter race was over very quickly, but when everyone returned to the auditorium, they were all exhausted, even the members of the school Quidditch team.

There is no other way. Running a thousand meters on an empty stomach is too painful!

And the most unbearable thing was that they were running together with the other three major colleges. Naturally, the other three major colleges also saw the "sausages" hanging in the hallway, which made everyone in Gryffindor feel particularly ashamed and had to speed up.

The only thing that made people feel fortunate was that today's breakfast was particularly rich. In addition to the usual bread, milk, and sausages, there was even an unlimited supply of beef and eggs, which allowed the Gryffindors' tired bodies to recover some strength.

After breakfast, it is time for class.

After receiving the new schedule, many people showed joy on their faces.

Harry and the other two looked a little strange.

Because their first class was a new class adapted from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class - Combat Self-Defense Skills!

"What do you think they're going to teach us?"

Ron asked a little uneasily.

The miserable condition of Simon and the others had already frightened him completely.

"Who knows?" Harry frowned and said, "I'm more concerned about whether Snape is still teaching this course. I really hope Chris Flint can fire him!"

Hearing this, Ron was also delighted and said:

"That would be great!"

Hermione looked at the two people who had fallen into delusion, shook her head helplessly, and walked towards the classroom first.

Seeing this, Harry and Ron stopped their meaningless fantasies and followed.

The classroom for the Combat Self-Defense Skills class has not changed and is still in the original Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

When Harry and the other two arrived, they found that the Ravenclaw students were already sitting upright in the classroom, and there was a figure standing on the podium in front of the classroom.

Harry was surprised to find that it was not Snape, but a strange woman!
She has a graceful figure and a youthful appearance. She is wearing a tight-fitting short, off-shoulder black gauze dress. She has a delicate face and heavy makeup on her face. The glimpse of her bright red lips is so alluring that it seems to be captivating!
Almost unsurprisingly, all the boys present were staring at her, some with lewd grins on their faces.

Who can resist a beautiful big sister!

And the woman didn't seem to hate this feeling. Sometimes she would even stretch deliberately, revealing her white and smooth armpits, which made Harry and the others drool.

After an unknown amount of time, the bell for class finally rang. The woman on the podium stepped on the high ground and came closer to the crowd. She spoke with difficulty in a gentle and warm tone:
"Hello everyone, my name is Natasha Flint, I am the professor of combat self-defense skills class, I am happy to meet you all."

After saying this, Natasha bowed deeply to everyone, revealing her broad mind!

Suddenly, there was silence in the classroom, but then there was a deafening applause.

Ron felt like his heart was about to jump out, and there was a hot current running through his lower abdomen.

In order to vent such intense emotions, he could only clap his hands as hard as he could.

Most of the other boys around him were in the same situation.

Looking at those crazy boys, Hermione and the other girls almost rolled their eyes.

The applause in the classroom lasted for a full five minutes before it gradually stopped, but don't get me wrong, it was not because the boys were tired, but because Natasha took the initiative to stop this behavior.

She returned to the podium, looked down at everyone and said:

"I believe many people are wondering where Professor Snape is. Please don't worry. Professor Snape is an outstanding talent. Headmaster Flint has arranged for him to be the chief life professor of the four major colleges. In the coming days, he will be responsible for the life management of all of you. If you encounter any problems in your daily life, you can go to him."

Hearing this, the students in the classroom couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Especially Harry and Ron, they were both almost out of breath from laughing.

Snape once again lost his coveted position in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and this time he even lost his job as a Potions professor, and could only become their life-long nanny.

This is really... very satisfying!
Looking at the laughing people in the audience, the smile on Natasha's face suddenly became a little weird.

She waved her hand again to stop the students' noise, then narrowed her eyes and spoke in a slow and gentle tone:
"Students, let's start the class now. As the first class, the difficulty of the course will not be too high, please rest assured. Then, let's start with the Killing Curse!"
