Hogwarts: Don't call me the Staff Maker

Chapter 814 Hagrid's Unstoppable Force

What is Seamus Finigan's talent?

Anyone who has taken his classes knows that this legendary Gryffindor can turn any spell into explosive magic, and it makes absolutely no sense.

Philius Flitwick studied Charms for decades but couldn't understand how a Levitation Charm could be wrong to produce the effect of an Explosion Charm.

But Seamus did it, and even his incantation and gestures at the time couldn't be considered wrong, just a little irregular.

Professor McGonagall looked at Seamus, whose eyes were shining, and at Siron, who had just run over after hearing the commotion. She suddenly felt that wands didn't really need to be made too well—at least some talents really didn't need to be enhanced.

"Give my regards to your grandfather, Siron." Before leaving, Professor McGonagall walked over to Siron and whispered, "If we win this time, I hope he can serve for a few more years."

Professor McGonagall left in a hurry after she finished speaking, leaving behind a bewildered Celan and his companions.

"Sirlen, why did Professor McGonagall suddenly mention your grandfather?" Hermione asked, puzzled.

"I don't know either." Xiren scratched his head. "Maybe she was thinking of some past memories. I remember when she first started school, there was a long and protracted war in the magical world—well, maybe."

In truth, Siron himself wasn't entirely sure, but now was clearly not the time to discuss such matters. Outside the castle, the elite Death Eaters had already stormed the school, and with their arrival, the wizards on the tower were under increasing pressure, and the defenses were beginning to crumble.

Looking down from here, the Death Eaters closest to the castle can already touch the stone steps.

Just then, a massive figure suddenly rushed out from the side, just like the giant before. But unlike the giant, this time it was one of their own.

"Come on, you cowards, you wretches, you filthy vermin!"

"You will not be allowed to set foot in the castle!"

"Come on, try this!"

"Look, it's Hagrid!" Ron shouted excitedly from inside the castle.

Xiren also saw Hagrid and was somewhat surprised.

Professor McGonagall assigned Hagrid the task of guarding the imprisoned Death Eaters and Slytherins, but he ended up here instead.

Soon, Hermione realized the same thing, and her face turned pale instantly.

"What if those prisoners escape if no one's watching them? There are over a hundred Death Eaters!"

"No, that can't be." Ron pursed his lips. "Those Death Eaters were all put under a stun spell, and their wands were taken away—"

Ron's voice grew softer and softer, and even he himself found it hard to believe his own story.

The Stunning Curse isn't a magic bullet, and casting it on over a hundred people isn't easy either. What if you miss one, or make a mistake? All of these things are possible.

Furthermore, wizards don't necessarily need to use a wand to cast spells. There are wandless spellcasting classes in seventh grade, and although he didn't take them, he could still use this technique to cast a few simple spells.

"No, I have to go find Professor McGonagall." Hermione turned and ran. Harry and Ron didn't move, but their faces showed obvious worry.

Siren didn't think Hagrid was someone who couldn't distinguish between what's important and what's not. The fact that he was here meant that he had found someone who could take his place in guarding the Death Eaters, and he trusted that person completely, so he could guarantee that there wouldn't be any problems.

Well, it might not even be human. After all, since the start of the war, Sirius hasn't seen a single Cerberus, Lululemon.

Like the fire dragon, the Cerberus is enormous and can ignore most spells, making it a natural-born killing machine in war.

The only drawback is that these magical creatures have very limited intelligence, making it difficult for them to distinguish friend from foe in the chaos of battle.

But if the only purpose is to have Cerberus guard a group of wizards whose wands have been taken away, then there's really no need to worry. In some ways, it's even more useful than Dementors; those Death Eaters would never dare to have any other ideas.

Xilun looked outside again.

Hagrid's appearance greatly relieved the pressure on Mad-Eye and his crew. Although he was alone, he made a bigger commotion than the giants. With his powerful body and extraordinary strength, the half-giant could incapacitate the Death Eaters almost instantly.

Whether those people were killed by a single punch or simply passed out is hard to say.

It wasn't that some Death Eaters tried to solve the problem, but all the magic aimed at Hagrid ended up returning to them.

"Damn it, it's the Ironclad Curse!" someone roared as they were struck by their own magic.

"Smash it!"

"No, I can't do it—bring a few more people along!"

"Damn it, how can a half-giant like him unleash such a powerful armor spell!"

Several Death Eaters quickly gathered together and simultaneously extended their wands at Hagrid.

They managed to break through the armor spell surrounding Hagrid, but the remaining magic had no effect on him.

Even more terrifying, the armor charm that the Death Eaters had painstakingly shattered reappeared around Hagrid just a second later. And no one saw when Hagrid cast the spell, as if the armor charm was something that was naturally attached to him.

"Again!"

The Death Eaters tried to use the same trick again, but Hagrid wouldn't give them the chance. Wielding a sturdy wooden club, he charged forward with a burst of speed.

Then an extremely bizarre scene unfolded on the battlefield: wherever Hagrid ran, a large vacuum area would appear, and no Death Eater was willing to face him.

There's no other way. The cannon fodder aren't stupid. They can't win or stop the fight. If they don't run, are they just going to wait to die?

Let alone cannon fodder, even the Death Eater elites had a headache when they encountered Hagrid, because they couldn't deal with the Ironclad Curses that kept appearing around Hagrid.

Suddenly, a loud bang came from afar, accompanied by a series of desperate shouts.

"It's over there in the courtyard," Ron said excitedly. "Seamus and the others made it. Judging from the sound, there were probably quite a few Death Eaters on the bridge back then."

Not long after, Neville returned, covered in dust, as if he had been through a great battle.

"The bridge is destroyed," he said. "Seamus is still there admiring his masterpiece. He did a really good job, taking care of at least thirty Death Eaters. If we had been any later, they probably would have stormed into the courtyard."

Professor McGonagall was right; they had to blow up the bridge because it connected directly to the courtyard outside the school hospital, which also provided access to the castle.

Once the bridge is destroyed, the Death Eaters will only be able to attack from the front, and the people inside the castle will be spared the predicament of being attacked from both sides.

However, after the bridge was destroyed, the Death Eaters who were originally there dared not repair it in front of Seamus, so they had to move to the front lines, and the number of Death Eaters in front of the castle increased.
