Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 136 Let's muddy the waters!
Inside the underground passages of Hogwarts Castle.

The Weasley duo successfully reunited with their four teammates.

"How was it? Nothing unexpected happened on the way, right?"

"of course not."

"What do we do now?"

"No rush, let's find out what's going on outside first."

The twins each took out two long, flesh-colored thin ropes and handed them to their partners—at one end of each rope was a small gadget resembling a human ear.

"what is this?"

"The retractable ear is one of our proudest creations. If you like it, you can come back to us to buy it later."

“Fred—”

George glanced at him—now was not the time to sell.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm having an old problem."

Fred chuckled and began explaining the function to the four of them.

"This thing is used for eavesdropping through doors."

When using it, insert the end with the "ear" to the outside and place the end without the ear against your ear, and you will be able to hear the sounds outside clearly.

Of course, this is more suitable for enclosed spaces like rooms.

"But with such a commotion outside, this should do alright."

“That’s great—you guys do have some legitimate inventions after all.”

The four Slytherins were somewhat surprised to receive the retractable ears.

This thing looks ugly, but it seems to be quite functional.

"Professor Li Wei said that times are progressing, and only by constantly thinking can we avoid being eliminated - we study hard to win the crown, not to make some gadgets."

"Alright, enough of that, let's get started!"

George waved his hand, and the six men immediately took their positions to ensure they could reach out to the other two teammates at any time.

"By the way, what are your Slytherin tactics? By the way, we Gryffindors just huddle together like idiots, although I reckon that formation will fall apart in no time."

“We’re similar to you, fighting individually in small teams—we don’t trust each other, so it’s impossible for us to work together.”

"To be more precise, we only believe in our own strength, and other classmates are just one of the resources we can utilize."

"Wow—that sounds gloomy—"

"—Cool, that's like your style."

After listening to their teammates' comments, the Geminis felt they had gained a deeper understanding of the academy.

The group carefully made their way through the secret passage and gradually arrived at Ravenclaw's tower—the Great Hall. They knew with their own eyes that it was a strategic location and they certainly wouldn't go there at the beginning.

"What are these bookworms doing? On a day like this, they're still reading?"

Through the cracks in the secret passage, the group quietly observed the situation outside.

Small groups of Ravenclaw students gathered in various corners of the tower, wands placed at their feet, and problem-solving guides in their hands.

"They're doing practice problems—I heard that a seventh-grader in Ravenclaw said he wants to see all the Ravenclaw students dominate the top ten of the Book of Knowledge rankings before graduation."

One of the Slytherins scoffed, expressing his deep resentment at this involutionary behavior.

"So that's it."

George nodded thoughtfully.

“They’re doing practice problems even on days like this, it’s really too much—I think we need to teach them a lesson.”

"I agree."

"I have no objection, we can't let them continue like this."

The Ravenclaw students were all crammed in here, and the students from other houses didn't have time to deal with them for the time being, which was disadvantageous for the six.

For them, the more chaotic the situation, the better. As it is now, with Ravenclaw's entire fighting force intact, it's not conducive to their later attempts to seize power.

"The question is, what should we do? Will we just use that swamp magic directly?"

"This is our trump card. If we use it now, it will cause trouble later."

George shook his head, directly denying it.

“Use dung balls and burp powder to deal with them, make their environment stink, and let’s see if they can still stay there.”

"Will that work? There are so many of them, wouldn't it be enough if each of them used one to clean it thoroughly?"

"So we need to combine it with other magic—what do you think about us just setting this place on fire?"

A Slytherin student, his eyes turning cold, made a suggestion that startled everyone.

"This place is near the library, so don't do anything reckless! Professor McGonagall is still in the castle!"

"Speaking of which, today is Freedom Day, and I'd like to try and see if our attack works on Professor McGonagall."

"It's a very bold idea—I'd like to try it too."

The four Slytherins seemed to have gotten more emboldened, and their suggestions became increasingly bold, making the Weasley twins' eyes light up!

"Attack a professor? We're experts at this—we're the ones who stormed Professor Lockhart into the hospital."

"It really was you guys! Everyone's been saying it—so, what's the plan?"

"Let's do it! Today's a day of freedom. If anything goes wrong, Professor Li Wei will protect us!"

The group quickly reached an agreement and began discussing their plan.

First and foremost, the library's collection must be absolutely secure—otherwise, the professors would surely skin them alive.

“Perhaps we can use Transfiguration to confirm first? Professor Levi even casts protective barriers during large-scale dueling classes, I don’t believe he really didn’t make any preparations for the castle.”

“No problem—we know another secret passage near the library, follow me!”

As the group continued through the secret passage, they suddenly heard a violent explosion in the distance, which shook the entire castle.

Several people lay prone in the secret passage, with fine sand and gravel constantly falling around them.

"Merlin's beard—what's happening outside? Aren't we supposed to avoid using spells that cause direct damage? Are they at war?!"

"It's probably seventh graders who got involved, otherwise it wouldn't have this effect—ignore them, the harder they fight, the better, let's do our own thing!"

The group quickly arrived at the exit of the secret passage.

"Who among you is better at Transfiguration?"

"I'll take it; my guide is ranked 36th."

A Slytherin student climbed to the front of the line amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd.

Once they realized how exciting they were doing, everyone's initiative increased.

A white mouse quietly emerged from the tunnel, ran towards the library, and then crashed directly into an invisible membrane.

"No problem—the professors did take precautions, but I don't know how effective they are."

"Look at me."

The student who had previously cast the Transfiguration spell waved his wand again, and while no one was paying attention, the white rat's body suddenly swelled tenfold, and at the same time, a flame directly ignited its fur.

The violent creature crashed violently into the invisible membrane.

But the harder it crashed, the stronger the rebound force became, sending its entire body flying. The sparks flying all over it were of no use.

Before the other students could notice, the transformation spell was quickly dispelled, and the white rat's body was directly reintegrated into the ground, leaving no trace except for the scorch marks on the surface.

"It should be fine—it can withstand even such an impact and flames, so thick smoke and sparks can't get in."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's do it!"

The Weasley twins rubbed their hands together excitedly, and the four Slytherin members nodded and placed their hands on them.
