On the underground floor of the chaotic and noisy Hogwarts Castle, the bluestone walls on both sides of the three-way intersection that had been peaceful for hundreds of years have been pitted with curses. Groans, roars, and curses echoed in the closed corridors.
Wailing sounds, as well as the explosive roars caused by various magic spells flying and colliding.
Near the "temporary base camp" of Hufflepuff College, a calm girl's voice was particularly clear amid the chaos.
"Here comes a senior who has mastered the awakening spell. Another classmate who has been hit by the coma spell has been carried out."
"Recover quickly!"
A flash of white light flashed, and the eyelids of the fainted boy trembled. He shook his head and groped his way up from the ground. He looked around the chaotic venue with some sluggishness, and a look of relief appeared on his face, "Thank you...
"
Before he could finish speaking, Elena casually picked up a wand and put it into the boy's hand, "Very good, you have been cured, come on!"
As she spoke, the girl's intact left hand turned the respectable Hufflepuff senior student around again, facing forward, her index and middle fingers together, and waved forward excitedly, "GO! GO! GO! GO
!GO!”
"But……"
"Senior, you go to support the right side first. Senior Zannah was knocked down by her despicable sneak attack there just now. We need to invest manpower to consolidate the spell suppression in that direction. For Hufflepuff!"
Elena blinked, a hint of enchantment flashed through her beautiful lake-blue eyes, and she waved her left fist vigorously and said.
The boy's eyes were in a daze for a moment, and he nodded subconsciously. Following Elena's words, he looked to the right. The tall Darth Shanna had fainted on the ground, and several small first-year freshmen were standing there.
He lowered his head and dragged her towards the edge of the battlefield.
"Oh! Well, no problem! I'll go over right now...for Hufflepuff! Ah——"
Watching the boy who had just woken up return to the battlefield, and then was hit by another red light within a few seconds, Elena shook her head speechlessly, "Susan, organize the people to bring him back, I hope next time
He can hold on longer."
As Hufflepuff's human wave tactics gradually take shape, Hufflepuff House, which has a large number of people and will be "resurrected", has advanced the "combat area" five to six meters from the original three-way intersection.
The curse could even hit the wet stone wall outside the Slytherin common room, making a muffled popping sound.
…
Slytherin common room.
This was the first time. Just after eight o'clock, all the little wizards had climbed out of bed.
One after another, the Slytherin snakes clenched their wands nervously, and the closed stone door of the common room shook, as if a terrifying giant beast was waving its claws and scratching.
It was just an ordinary stone wall, maybe it had been smashed into pieces by now.
Outside the stone walls of Slytherin House, the spells and shouts became more and more obvious and closer. Even if they didn't see it with their own eyes, everyone could feel the severity of the situation outside.
A complex emotion of uneasiness, anger, humiliation, and surprise spread throughout the common room.
"Is that the sound of our spell that hits the wall outside?"
"Looking at the direction, I think it might not be."
The two Slytherin girls were leaning against each other, helplessly asking the people around them.
Around the fire next to them, the distorted faces of several senior Slytherin boys looked particularly scary and angry in the flickering light of the fire. Their trembling arms could hardly hold the wands in their hands.
"Damn it, are those Hufflepuffs crazy? They are not planning to attack directly, are they?!"
"Where are the professors? Why haven't the professors arrived yet!"
"Apparition is not possible inside Hogwarts Castle. Even the professors have to go through so many stairs to get here."
In the center of the common room where more people gathered, a boy with brown curly hair and a handsome face stood in the middle of the crowd, looking around at the nervous crowd, mobilizing and giving speeches with excitement.
"Hold on! Rush out with me. If we are beaten into the common room by those savage badgers, the thousands of years of honor of our Slytherin House will be ruined in our hands."
"How dare they! We are the noblest Slytherins in the school."
"The pride of pure-blood wizards cannot be insulted. These mudbloods are so brave!"
There was a commotion among the crowd, and many students had a look of dissatisfaction and disbelief on their faces.
In contrast, the situation and reactions of the first-year Slytherin students who had contact with Elena were much more special. Some students even vaguely guessed part of the cause of the melee between the two houses - after all, they were robbed by the seniors.
It wasn't just Draco Malfoy and the other three who had the grilled fish, most of the first-year Slytherin students were forced to contribute their own midnight snacks.
"I told you not to mess with Hufflepuffs like Elena, you idiots! God, I will never go out."
"Derek and Bol haven't come back yet. Do you think they were killed?"
"Hogwarts is so scary, Hufflepuff is so scary, you seniors are all liars, it's obviously such a scary college."
"Mom, I want to go home..."
"Shut up, freshman! It's just Hufflepuff. What are you afraid of? Get out of the way!"
A tall, lanky boy with a gloomy expression couldn't help but raise his voice and curse loudly. He angrily pushed the chubby Slytherin first-year student in front of him, raised his wand and pushed open the stone door, then walked out cursingly.
, "When I finish taking care of them, I will come back to collect you - ah -"
Before he finished speaking, under everyone's gaze, several red lights hit his chest one after another.
Bang!
With a look of confusion and anger that hadn't dissipated on his face, the boy fell heavily backwards on the floor of the common room.
Before anyone could react, a Slytherin girl whose robe was covered with scorch marks, ice crystals, and holes corroded by acid stumbled in from outside the stone wall, with two obvious tear marks on her face, and she let out a burst of despair.
A shrill cry.
"Hurry... run quickly and find a way to hold on until the professors arrive. The last line of defense has been breached. Their number is hundreds of us -"
With a few red lights hitting her back, the girl's voice suddenly stopped, and she staggered down at the door of the stone wall.
The sounds of curses and roars outside the door slowly stopped as the girl fell down. The smoke and light gradually dispersed, revealing the scene at the door to the frightened eyes of the Slytherin students.
A group of Hufflepuff students dressed in yellow and black house uniforms with scars all over their bodies were standing outside the open door of the Slytherin common room with their wands raised. There was a strangeness in their behavior that they had never seen before.
