The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 607 Let's unite!

That night, in the Hufflepuff common room.

The little badger, returning from dinner in the Great Hall of Hogwarts, stared at Tonks, who seemed to have stepped out of the Anywhere Door, his youthful face filled with astonishment.

Cedric reacted the fastest, his pupils dilating as he cried out, "Big Sister Tonks!"

"Oops!"

"Run!"

With a flick of his long robe, he roared at his still-stunned companions and turned to run.

However, one of Tonks' targets this time was him, and he would not allow him to escape so easily.

"Legs tied in a knot!"

Tonks's movements were incredibly fast; the combat experience she gained from her Auror training far surpassed what Cedric and the others at the school could even imagine.

A tripping spell hit squarely.

"Bang!"

Cedric felt something trip him up in his legs and feet, and he fell down, sliding six feet on the ground before coming to a stop.

Then came a series of thuds, and Cedric knew without looking that it was the sound of his partner falling down.

Someone laughed behind Cedric, and Tonks looked sternly into the crowd, and the common room fell silent.

"Can someone tell me why our Hufflepuff canteen is closed?"

Some of the little badgers lowered their heads in shame, not daring to meet Tonks' gaze. For seven years, Hufflepuff Dining Hall had received rave reviews, while under their watch, it had been shut down.

"It's Umbridge!" Abhanna pushed her way to the front, raised her hand, and shouted.

Tonks nodded, as if he had expected this. "I came back to resolve this matter, so why are you looking so dejected? Don't you believe me?"

The older badgers exchanged glances, and one of them said bitterly, "Boss, it's not that we don't believe you, it's just that the situation has deteriorated to the extreme."

Another added, "That's right, Mr. Moriarty and Professor Dumbledore are both gone, and we can't fight Umbridge—even though everyone hates her."

"Ha," Tonks chuckled merrily, "Who says I can't? I'll not only fight her, I'll even drive her away!"

"Of course, achieving our goal requires the concerted efforts of all four colleges."

"Impossible, right?"

The little badgers shook their heads sadly, "Big Sister, you have no idea how badly the situation has deteriorated..."

"Enough!" Tonks shouted sternly, "Who did you learn the word 'Honkai' from?"

"Hufflepuff's quality is loyalty!"

"From the very beginning of Hogwarts, Hufflepuff has always been one of the most trusted companions!"

"Hogwarts is now shrouded in darkness. Can we just stand by and watch it engulf it and do nothing?"

Tonks walked to the fireplace and looked up at the portrait of Helga Hufflepuff, the founder of the academy, hanging above it.

Hannah walked behind Tonks, and more and more badgers followed.

Dean Helga, as always, showed a sincere smile.

"Hufflepuff's loyalty cannot be changed," Tonks said. "The turning point is tonight!"

"Boss, just tell us what you need us to do!"

"Before that, find a dorm and stuff them in there." Tonks glanced at Cedric and the others.

"Then, we'll break the spell that seals the small canteen."

"Umbridge will find out soon enough," a badger said worriedly.

"I want her to find out," Tonks said with a mysterious smile. "Once she finds out, all the students at Hogwarts will know we're in action!"

"Would the Gryffindor lions be content with solitude? A single spark would ignite them, and they would fight on!"

"Next came Ravenclaw's hawk and Slytherin's snake."

"I'm telling you, right now, the same thing is happening in their respective common rooms!"

"Hogwarts needs to unite and drive out the darkness!"

Tonks turned his battle plan into an inspiring speech, and the little badgers were ignited with enthusiasm, noisily crowding around Tonks and rushing toward the place they usually called "the little canteen."

The door to the small canteen is protected by a magic seal set up by Gamp, which is a kind of seal, but it uses dark elemental magic.

"Try this, it's what Moriarty left over from his last battle with Nightfall." Tonks tossed a handful of emeralds.

Upon closer inspection, a rune can be seen engraved inside the gemstone.

It is indeed a divine symbol!

"Even dark magic cannot escape the judgment of the gods if it contains runes that are 'imprisoned'."

Tonks was pleased to see the runes in the gem take effect, and the door to the small canteen clicked open.

"Yay!"

The little badgers swarmed in to greet their beloved little canteen.

Meanwhile, Gamp, who had flown into British airspace, sensed that the magic had been dispelled. As if he had expected it, his expression remained unchanged.

"The Black Griffin Clan Emblem!"

Black magic emanated, and three black griffin emblems appeared in succession before rapidly flying away.

About half an hour later, Mr. Filch, the caretaker of Hogwarts Castle, discovered the badgers causing a huge disturbance in the dining hall during his night patrol and hurriedly reported it to Umbridge.

"Damn Hufflepuff!"

Umbridge, disgusted, forced herself to get up and hurriedly led her henchmen and thugs to the Hufflepuff Dining Hall.

"How dare you?"

Umbridge saw that the badgers were not only having a party, but also opening the Hogwarts kitchen with the house-elves!

A fire was lit in the kitchen, food was being cooked, house-elves were jumping around, people were coming and going in the Hufflepuff common room, and half of Hogwarts was in an uproar.

Umbridge jumped up in anger, her head and face turning pink.

Tomorrow at 8 o'clock, the final round of the three-way battle will begin, and she doesn't want anything to go wrong.

However, on the eve of the match, Hufflepuff rioted.

"Suppress them!"

"Arrest them all!"

Umbridge commanded her henchmen, a few poor, bewitched Aurors.

But the house-elves had already formed a long line, like a torrent of troops, sweeping away Umbridge's group.

"Extremely painful!"

Tonks seized the opportunity when Umbridge fell and uttered a curse.

"This is punishment from Hufflepuff!"

Tonks walked over and looked down at Umbridge.

She slowly raised her wand, aimed it at the window, and shot out a beam of light as if sending a signal.

"Boom!"

Like fireworks exploding, patterns of yellow badgers appeared in the air.

The excitement quickly reached the Gryffindor common room.

The Weasley twins jumped out of bed and started yelling.

"Jordan! Quick, get out our stash of gadgets!"

"It must be Mr. Moriarty back! We're going to wreak havoc on Hogwarts."

"Wood! Go to the team's locker room and bring all the flying brooms over!"

The twins ran around shouting to each of their companions, "Get up!"

"Get up!"

"Percy, keep an eye on Lionheart!"

"I know this is difficult, but don't die—at least not until we get back, so that you can give us the key to your Gringotts vault before you die."

"Everyone, follow me!"

"Whoever is bullying Umbridge!"

"We Gryffindors absolutely have to lend a hand!"

The lions have come out.

Led by the Weasley twins, they rode flying broomsticks, picked up prank toys like dung balls, and attacked Umbridge and her classmates who used Umbridge to bully them.

Now the castle is in even more chaos!

The students of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons schools were also thrown into turmoil, and their headmasters, Ramdy Lestrange and Knight Lancelot, were also alerted.

"I'll go and suppress Gryffindor, you go and suppress Hufflepuff!"

Ramdy said to Knight Lancelot.

"Thank goodness Slytherin and Ravenclaw weren't activated," Ramdy thought with lingering fear.

But he didn't know that Ravenclaw's hawk was already prepared!

Several secret passages were crowded with Ravenclaws.

"Is everything ready?"

Penelope raised her wand and spoke to her fellow students in the same courtyard.

Once she returned to the Ravenclaw common room, she activated Hawk and prepared to open all the blocked secret passages!

"Cho Chang and Hermione sent word that everything is ready on their end."

"Very good, let's begin!"

At Penelope's command, deafening explosions erupted from several secret passages!

Since Tonks reopened the Dining Hall, Slytherin House has been the most peaceful place.

Neville had already relayed Tonks's message that Marcus and Soldaya were secretly operating in the Slytherin dungeons.

They first took control of Larpo's classmates, regaining the upper hand.

"Neville, I'm rooting for Harry Potter. The Warriors should make a substitution tomorrow for the Triwizard Tournament."

Soldaya patted Nawi on the shoulder.

"I understand, everyone knows who the real warrior is." Neville's hands were trembling with excitement.

"I'll deal with Rolf Scamander next," Marcus said, rubbing his hands together. "This time, I won't let him get away with it."

Soldaya had a sudden inspiration: "I suggest you invite Lunalovgood. This junior is no ordinary student."

Marcus thought for a moment, while Sordaya smiled wryly: "Looks like I'll have to do the hardest and most tiring work. Alright, I'll lead the men to deal with the goblins in the Forbidden Forest and unseal the Hogwarts Express."

"Let's get moving, everyone!"

(The Trip Jinx spell is of unknown origin; it is a malevolent curse that causes the target to trip and fall to the ground.)

(Draco Malfoy used the Tripping Charm on Harry Potter in 1996 when the Investigative Task Force was hunting down members of Dumbledore's Army who had escaped from the Room of Requirement in the castle.)
