A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 568 The Attack Arrives!

Back in the tent, William and his companions didn't sleep; instead, they stayed in their room playing cards.

It was supposed to be a four-player game of Dou Dizhu, but Annie couldn't stay awake for more than a few rounds and fell into a deep sleep.

The game of Dou Dizhu, originally a four-player game, has become a three-player game between William, Hermione, and Trinity.

However, the ending was rather tragic. William was the landlord every time, and his cards were always incredibly bad.

So, by becoming a landlord, he gained a chance to avoid being boiled alive?

His face and arms were covered with small notes from Hermione.

Please don't force me, I don't want to redeem my Gambling Saint talent tonight!

William suppressed the urge to take a sip of Felix Felicis.

However, losing all the time isn't a solution. Being constantly humiliated and crushed makes for a terrible gaming experience.

"Oh dear, this hand is really bad..." Trinity sighed again, "It's unplayable."

William glanced at her with a small, quick look.

She always said she had a bad hand, but she always managed to get a bomb (a winning hand) every time.

They definitely cheated, and they were very skilled at it.

Does Martell's assassin training also teach con artist techniques?

Coach, I want to learn this!

Hermione, being considerate, couldn't bear to see William keep losing. At the start of the game, when William played a "three", she immediately threw out a bomb, trying to secretly let him win.

Please don't do this, Hermione!

If you do this, Trinity will mistakenly think that I'm living off you.

Mmm... Ah... Oh... So soft, smells so good!

Let's eat it then.

Just as William threw out a set of cards, leaving only a four, he glanced triumphantly at Trinity.

She chuckled, then threw down two bombs, leaving her with only one card.

"..."

"It's so painful," William thought, his composure completely shattered.

Hermione playfully stuck out her tongue, indicating that she was also powerless to help.

However, she did want to learn a trick from Trinity, so that she could specifically trick... Anne with William in the future.

William had another note stuck to his chest, and he glanced out the window with a look of utter despair.

If anyone wants to cause trouble, tonight is their last and best chance.

This applies to both Tom and the wizard who escaped from Crouch's tent.

Professor Barbering didn't come looking for him, so it seems Tom has given up on his idea of ​​causing trouble.

It seems that being suddenly killed on the first night caused him considerable psychological trauma.

And Arya Grindelwald... We haven't seen her make a move in so long.

This is unlike her usual style.

William lost again, and Hermione leaned on his shoulder, unable to resist yawning.

He put down his cards and said, "Alright, that's enough for tonight. Let's go to sleep."

It's unlikely that anyone will cause trouble.

Just then, an explosion suddenly came from outside.

Hermione jolted awake and suddenly opened her eyes.

Annie, who was lying in bed, sat up groggily, as if she had been woken up, and looked at her brother and Hermione with a blank expression.

William turned his head and said softly, "It's fireworks. Fireworks are going off outside. Go back to sleep."

The little girl gave an "oh," hugged the teddy bear pillow Hermione had given her, and drifted off to sleep again.

Hermione walked over quietly and tucked the blanket back in for her.

William stood up, took out his wand and waved it. The room immediately fell silent, and the sound of the explosion could no longer be heard.

He said softly, "Let's go see... who's courting death."

……

……

Once outside the tent, the noise grew even louder.

William looked up, squinted, and saw that the goblin and the Veela were fighting again.

In a World Cup, these two magical creatures inexplicably became mortal enemies.

If it were just little goblins and Veela, that would be one thing, but there were also more than a dozen large creatures rushing into view.

—Horned camel.

The horned beast is a magical creature native to Austria, resembling a saber-toothed tiger.

They were once on the verge of extinction, thanks to a young Newt who personally bred the last few horned beasts.

After seventy years of breeding, their numbers have recovered to a certain extent. They have also been adopted as mascots by the Austrian Quidditch team.

At this moment, they began to rampage, their two sharp golden horns smashing through many tents.

Many wizards cast spells and shot them at the horned beast, but to no avail; instead, they provoked the ferocious creature!

Of course it's ineffective!

The horned camel's grayish-purple hide is even tougher than the fire dragon's hide!

boom!

An explosion was heard.

Another venomous horned beast charged at a large tree, digging its horn deep into the trunk. Hot liquid churned inside the tree before it exploded and crashed to the ground.

Large numbers of sazabans began to go berserk; as blood-sucking creatures native to Nigeria, they had caught the strong scent of blood.

The entire camp descended into utter chaos, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

Newt's trunk is missing again?

William had this idea immediately.

But he quickly dismissed the idea, because the animals that appeared at the camp were all familiar—the mascots of the countries participating in the World Cup!

Someone released the mascots, letting them wreak havoc on the camp.

It was late at night, and many people were asleep in their tents after having parties and drinking.

This sudden attack caught everyone off guard.

Many wizards emerged from their tents disheveled, horrified by the scene before them.

The old man's face was ashen, and many witches and children cried incessantly.

William looked around again, his eyes cold.

Something was flashing strangely and making a sound like gunfire. Loud jeers, maniacal laughter, and drunken shouts also came from within.

Then, a bright green light flashed, illuminating everything around them.

A group of wizards huddled together, each pointing their wands upwards, and moved forward together, slowly traversing the field.

These people all wore hoods and masks over their heads.

Above their heads, four struggling figures floated in the air, twisted into various bizarre shapes, as if the masked wizards on the ground were puppeteers.

More wizards joined the advancing procession, laughing loudly and pointing at the several bodies floating above.

As the marching crowd grew, the tents collapsed under the weight. Several tents caught fire. The screams grew louder.

The mascot was released, but some people, not satisfied with the chaos, launched another attack.

The others in the tents all crawled out. They too had seen the chaos in the camp.

"William, we must restore order immediately!" Newt said, "and capture those magical creatures."

Their destruction was immense.

William nodded and said softly, "Nico, you stay in the tent and protect them."

Roy and Iris are not wizards, so they will definitely have to stay in the tent. Anne is too young; she's only a second-year wizard.

They were still sleeping in the tent at that moment.

Nico nodded and said, "Okay, if anything else happens, I'll take them away immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen or so house-elves appeared around them. Each little creature held a wand and looked around warily.

Nico's security is always the top priority.

William nodded slightly, then glanced at Cho, Cedric, and Neville.

"We'd better go together, brother," Cedric grinned.

"You don't think I need to stay in the tent, do you?"

"That's right, William," Cho tossed her hair and insisted. "Wherever you two are, that's where I'll be."

"If I don't go, my grandma will definitely break my legs," Neville said loudly, his face flushed.

Hermione didn't speak, but simply drew her wand.

Over the years, she had grown accustomed to standing by his side. It would be strange if one day they weren't fighting side by side.

William smiled and said:

"Let's go, stay close to me!"
