Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 572: Surprise Attack on Hogwarts
Seeing Filch, with wand in hand and a hideous grin on his face, following Arthur and the others into the secret passage, Harry, Hermione and the others had confusion written all over their faces.

"I remember Filch wasn't a Squib?"

Ron frowned and asked, and Harry nodded.
"Yes, I found an admission letter for the 'Fast Spell Class' on his desk when I was in the lower grades. That was a class only Squibs and stuttering wizards would attend."

"Then why is he pretending to have a wand?"

"Maybe he hasn't accepted the fact that he's a Squib yet, and wants to pretend in front of us."

Harry and Ron both laughed.

When they were still at Hogwarts, Filch had caused them a lot of trouble, so they had no good feelings towards him at all.

"Okay, stop talking!" Hermione frowned and said, "Let's catch up!"

As she spoke, Hermione carefully placed Aberforth on the small bed in the living room, and placed the portrait of Ariana beside his bed, then quickly entered the secret passage.

Seeing this, Harry and Ron also reacted and followed.

The secret passage in the Hog's Head Bar was obviously different from the Bee Duke secret passage they had used before.

It was more like the secret passage that Mike used to use, connecting Ravenclaw Tower and the eighth floor of Hogwarts.

The structure of its internal passage is not a purely physical structure, but contains some space magic devices.

This is easy to notice.

Because the straight-line distance between Hogsmeade village and Hogwarts Castle was more than 5 kilometers, but Harry and others had only crawled in the secret passage for less than ten minutes when they saw the exit of the secret passage.

But when they finally got out of the exit, they found that they were in a large and gorgeously decorated study. However, the study had already become a battlefield. Arthur and the Los Santos wizards he led were fighting with the school police in black uniforms. Countless spells shining with death light were flying everywhere, making this huge study look a little shaky.

Ron was shocked when he saw this scene and stood still for a moment.

Fortunately, Harry and Hermione reacted quickly and pulled him to a safe corner.

Looking at the spells flying everywhere outside, Ron finally came to his senses. He shivered and asked in a terrified voice:

"What...what is this place?"

"Hogwarts, the Room of Requirement!" Hermione replied unhappily, "Haven't we been here several times before?"

"When we came here before, there weren't any spells flying around!"

Ron retorted in a low voice, but he couldn't help looking out.

In his vision, Arthur was moving among the school police like a butterfly.

The jet-black polymer sword in his hand was constantly waving, making bursts of 'buzzing' sounds due to the high-speed vibration of the sword.

Along with the teeth-grinding sound of swords, clouds of blood mist burst out from the bodies of the school police around Arthur, and there were even many broken limbs mixed in!

Ron couldn't help but widen his eyes as he suddenly witnessed such a bloody scene, but he didn't feel any disgust.

On the contrary, he even felt that Arthur's graceful posture wielding the sword coupled with the blood flying all over the sky was so beautiful.

This... this is like a dance of swords and blood!
"This is too strong!"

Ron couldn't help but sigh.

But in fact, Arthur at this moment was far from being as relaxed as Ron thought.

Due to the Deathly Hallows, Chris designated the Room of Requirement as a key patrol area, and this order was not revoked after he discovered the Elder Wand in Michael's hands.

This resulted in the Room of Requirement being guarded almost 24 hours a day, and caused them to run into a battle as soon as they came out of the secret passage.

Although these school police officers came from the Auror Corps, they were still not as good as Arthur and others in terms of combat effectiveness.

But the problem is that this time Arthur and others are carrying out a decapitation operation, with the aim of killing the interim principal Cage Quinn in the principal's office and forcing other school police to surrender in this way.

But now they were discovered as soon as they entered the secret passage. This was not good news.

"drink!"

A loud shout was heard.

Arthur swung his sword with all his might and killed the last school policeman in black.

But at this moment, there was no joy on his face, but anger.

Because the school policeman who was hacked to death just now pressed the signal badge on his chest before he died, conveying the news that the Room of Requirement was attacked to the people outside.

This meant that their assassination plan to sneak into Hogwarts failed just as it began.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

A tall and thin Los Santos wizard asked cautiously. He could see that Arthur was in a bad mood.

Upon hearing this, Arthur, who was standing in the middle of the blood and broken limbs on the ground, clenched the sword in his hand.

Since joining the Freemasons, he has never failed in any of the missions he has carried out.

This is Arthur's pride and his persistence.

You know, he is the fighter in the Freemasonry whose strength is second only to Mike, and he also has an extraordinary status in the Freemasonry.

He absolutely does not allow failure to appear on his resume!

Arthur gritted his teeth and finally said with a grim smile:

"We are much stronger than those school policemen, so there is no need to be afraid of them. So, we just need to storm over! Anyway, the ultimate goal of the mission is to occupy Hogwarts, so how to complete the mission is not important!"

After saying this, Arthur held the sword in his hand and led the Los Santos wizards out of the Room of Requirement, which had become bloody.

It was not until this time that Harry and the other two came out from the corner, and with them came Filch. When the battle just started, Filch completely ignored the objections of Harry and the others, and forced his way into their hiding place with a look of horror on his face.

But when the danger was over, Filch put on a different face. Without even looking at Harry and the others, he walked out of the Room of Requirement with an arrogant look on his face.

Perhaps because he was looking up and not looking at the road, he fell hard when passing by the pool of blood in the middle of the room, and his body was covered in blood. Then he stood up, rolled over, coughed a few times awkwardly, and continued walking towards the door as if nothing had happened.

This scene performed by Filch made Harry and others laugh, and also made them feel better.

They never imagined that Filch had such a comedic talent.

But when they walked out of the Room of Requirement, they couldn't laugh anymore.

Because at this moment, it is no longer the Room of Requirement that has become a battlefield, but the entire Hogwarts Castle.

Outside the corridor, Arthur and his troops were surrounded by a team of school police and students.

Countless green beams of light kept flashing in the corridor, but they could not penetrate the golden shield held up by the wizards of Los Santos.

As for Arthur, he left the team early. As a demon hunter, he also had a natural restraint towards extraordinary creatures such as wizards.

The killing curses scattered in the corridor posed no threat to him at all. Although the polymer sword in his hand did not have the demon hunting attribute like the traditional demon hunting silver sword, it could also have a strong restraining effect on spells after Arthur added the power of exorcism. Facing the attacks of the wizards, he only needed to lightly wave the sword tip, and any spell that it touched would dissipate instantly.

And on the physical level, this polymer sword is much stronger than the silver sword.

The special alloy with ultra-high hardness and the ability to vibrate at high speed turns this polymer sword into a magical weapon that can cut through iron like mud.

When Arthur first got the sword, he complained that it was not easy to use, but now, he just wanted to say:

Really fragrant!

The combination of these two allowed him to charge into the enemy camp effortlessly.

What followed was a sword dance mixed with countless screams and blood.

Thanks to Arthur's powerful fighting ability, the Los Santos wizards behind him also began to hold up their shields and advance forward little by little.

Any enemy who dares to stand in their way will be brutally killed by them.

Of course, they would still show mercy to the students of Hogwarts. After all, those people were Mike's classmates after all.

But Filch thought otherwise.

Of course, you should pick the softest persimmons.

In his mind, those students were the best targets for attack.

So, under the astonished gaze of Harry and the others, Filch began to wave his wand with a grin.

And as he moved, a series of transparent sharp blades were fired out!
The power of these blades was not great, but they reached the minimum standard of the Sharp Edge spell. In addition, the group of Slytherin students were standing too densely, and for a moment, under Filch's attack, the group of Slytherin students were howling in pain!
This scene made Filch even crazier. He stared with bloodshot eyes, swung the wand in his hand vigorously, and yelled hysterically, as if he had some deep hatred with those Slytherins.

"Are you sure Filch is a Squib?"

Ron stared at Filch in amazement, and asked without blinking his eyes.

Harry: "Uh, sure."

"Can you explain what he's doing now?" Ron waved his arms vigorously. "He doesn't even need to cast a spell!"

"Um...this..."

Harry was momentarily speechless.

He was absolutely certain that Filch was a Squib, otherwise he wouldn't have to work so hard to mop the floor himself.

But now, Filch, the recognized dud, has transformed into a magic machine gun, killing people in front of him!

This made him wonder if he was dreaming.

At this moment, Hermione's voice came.

"Don't be fooled, Filch is indeed a Squib. The reason he can cast spells is only because the wand he uses is special!"

Harry and Ron were both startled when they heard this, and continued to look in the direction of Filch, just in time to see Filch lift up his shirt, revealing the row of wands hidden at his waist.

Filch raised his eyebrows at Harry and the other two as if to show off, then pulled out another wand and pointed it at the Slytherins not far away.

This time, what shot out from the magic wand was a blazing flame!
"Wow! Cool!"

Ron couldn't help but shout out, and looking at the shining look in his eyes, it seemed that he also wanted to have a wand like that.

Hermione beside him slapped him impatiently and cursed:
"Stop wasting time! With the commotion going on here, Cage Quinn must have known about it. We have to hurry to the principal's office, or the bald guy will run away!"

After saying that, Hermione ran along the bloody path Arthur had taken without looking back.

Seeing this, Ron and Harry had no choice but to chase after him.

But it turned out that Hermione's worries were unnecessary, because at this moment in the headmaster's office, Arthur's polymer sword had already pierced into Cage Quinn's chest.

Until his death, Cage Quinn still had an exquisite W-shaped brooch in his hand - it was the communicator of the Ministry of Magic.

Glancing at the brooch, Arthur's mouth curled up into a disdainful smile.

The new Anti-Apparition and Anti-Apparition Charms installed in Hogwarts were indeed very powerful, and even the entrance to the Masonic secret realm was sealed.

But while it provides protection for Hogwarts, it also limits the possibility of external reinforcements entering Hogwarts.

This time, the Ministry of Magic shot itself in the foot.

When the polymer sword was pulled out of Cage's body, the sword body began to tremble automatically at a high speed, shaking out all the remaining blood on it.

Arthur nodded in satisfaction, then grabbed the sword and walked to the portrait of Dumbledore, looking at the white-bearded old man in front of him curiously.

He was not a student of Hogwarts, so he had never seen Dumbledore in person before.

But Mike and the others' occasional chatter still made Arthur full of confidence in this old man who was known as the strongest white wizard of this century.

"Demon Hunter? You still exist? This is a miracle!"

Dumbledore exclaimed at the words in the painting.

He recognized Arthur's identity the first time he saw him. After all, not everyone can have the orange-yellow eagle eyes.

Hearing this, Arthur raised his eyebrows and said:

"So you are Dumbledore."

"Yes, that's right." Dumbledore in the portrait smiled and spread his hands. "I guess it must be Michael who asked you to come here?"

Arthur chuckled but said nothing.

Of course, he couldn't leak any information about Mike, even if the object was just a magical portrait.

But this did not prevent him from thinking that Dumbledore was a very interesting person.

Pursing his lips, Arthur was about to continue talking to Dumbledore in the portrait when the door of the office suddenly opened.

"Stop, what are you going to do to Headmaster Dumbledore?"

Harry roared, and together with Hermione and Ron, they stood in front of Arthur, stretched out their hands to protect Dumbledore's portrait, with a heroic expression on their faces.

Upon seeing this, Arthur immediately lost all his temper, and his face, which had originally been smiling, turned cold again.

But he didn't say much, just glanced at Harry coldly and walked out of the office.

Harry and the other two were left standing there at a loss.
