Chapter 373： Practical combat

Hogwarts Castle is dark in the middle of the night, and the curfew has come. According to school rules, except Filch, who is the vigil, all professors and students should fall asleep.

However, the responsive room on the eighth floor was very lively. Dozens of students of different grades gathered in this huge changed classroom, and laughter and spell explosion sounded throughout the classroom.

Mike on the sofa has a reddened face, his eyes are slightly narrowed, and his legs are still shaking, looking in a good mood.

At the previous dinner with Professor Flivy, Professor Flivy was in a good mood, so he drank a lot of wine.

As a companion, Mike naturally drank a lot. In addition, Mike’s current body is still under adult and his tolerance to alcohol is not high, so although he did not lie down directly like Professor Flivy , But also fell into a slightly drunken state.

Fortunately, in the past few months, Mike has given most of the commonly used spells to these DA members. If you teach them too many spells in a short time, many of them will be confused. Understand the situation.

So in the last few lessons, Mike didn't teach them new things. Instead, they asked them to work in groups and start practicing a lot of basic skills including spell shooting and casting speed.

This makes it okay for Mike to leave them alone now.

"Mike, you should drink this!"

Hermione looked at the Mike on the sofa with a worried look, and passed a glass of light blue liquid over.

Mike glanced, did not speak, just waved his hand slightly.

The liquid that Hermione handed over, he knew, it was a sober medicine that was very simple to configure. This medicine had a very strong effect. In his current mildly alcoholic state, he could wake up completely with just a sip of alcohol.

But Mike didn't want to drink it.

He hasn't touched something like alcohol for a long time, and he has never been drunk since he came to this world, so the current Mike actually enjoys this slightly drunken state very much.

It's a pity that with Mike's current physique, the effect of alcohol on him will not last long, that is to say, Mike's current drunken state may disappear at any time.

This also made Mike cherish this state even more. He squinted his eyes and looked at the Franklin and others gathered around him from the gap between his eyes, but saw Harry on the other sofa with his face upturned, his face looked upright. Staring at the white ceiling impeccably.

After drinking Jin, Mike sat next to Harry, patted his shoulder and said:

"You...what's wrong with you? Why is this expression?"

The smell of alcohol on Mike's body made Harry frown, and he moved his head slightly to the side, but did not speak.

McBenne wanted to ask, but Franklin on the side shook his head and said:

"Mike, stop asking about alcohol. Harry lost today, and he just returned from Snape's office."

Suddenly, Mike wanted to understand.

And this afternoon the Quidditch League officially started. As the opening game, the two sides of the game are Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Judging from Harry's current state, they should have lost that game.

As for the Occupational Brain Mantra that Mike was doing in Snape's office, Mike didn't have to think about it. It would have been an unpleasant experience.

The matter between Snape and Harry can only be said to be a mess, and Mike has no interest in it.

nodded, Mike also decided not to ask any more, patted Harry on the shoulder as a comfort, but the latter twisted to the side again.

Mike saw that Harry seemed to hate the smell of alcohol on him, and he was immediately amused, a smirk appeared on his face, and he reached out to wipe Harry's face.

However, he froze in midair only halfway through his hand, and the expression on his face became serious.

"Everyone!" Mike stood up suddenly, "Leave the responsive room immediately!"

Mike's voice echoed in the responsive room, and then everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him dumbfounded.

"What's wrong with you?"

Harry asked suspiciously, but Mike said without looking at his explanation:

"The warning magic I placed around was triggered, and many people are approaching here! Quick! Everyone packs up their things and retreats from the secret road!"

As soon as this remark came out, the whole responsive room made a sensation, and people moved quickly.

In order to prevent the D.A. Army rally from being discovered, Mike actually did an emergency plan, and the first thing to do was to escape the secret passage.

And that secret road is exactly the one that Mike often used in the lower grades, to go to the Ravenclaw Tower.

At this time, the quality gap between the members of the mutual aid association and the ordinary DA army is reflected. When Mike issued the retreat order, the members of the mutual aid association who had been trained for a long time quickly packed their belongings and began to retreat from the exit in an orderly manner. , And many ordinary DA troops are still at a loss.

"You guys! What are you still doing? Don't pack your things, go!"

Mike's sharp drink seemed to have awakened them, and the D.A. army, headed by Qiu Zhang and other girls, finally moved, screaming and squeezing out the door.

However, this speed is still not enough. The D.A. Army has more than 60 members. Such a huge crowd can't retreat quickly without maintaining high order.

Thinking so, Mike took out his wand and walked towards the door.

"Mike!" Hermione shouted heartbreakingly, "What are you going to do?"

"You go first, I will hold them!"

"No! You can't go!"

Hermione reached out and wanted to grab Mike's arm, but Franklin caught her, and together with the other members of the mutual aid club, dragged Hermione, Harry and others in the direction of the secret road.

Franklin can be said to be one of the people who know Mike the best. He knows very well that since Mike dared to face Umbridge alone at this time, he must have the confidence to get out of his body and wait for others to pass. He dragged his feet.

Everyone behind him heard the sounds of Mike clearly. After hearing the voices of Hermione and others go further and further, a smile appeared on Mike's face. At the same time, his steps became firmer in the darkness.

Walking in the dark, Mike listened to the stairs leading to the seventh floor on the eighth floor. According to the detection result of the vigilance spell, Umbridge’s main force will be from here. Appeared, only a few skirmishers would arrive at the responsive room from other places. All I could do was block the main force here. As for those skirmishers, Mike believed that Franklin and the others had a way to solve it.

There is just another question which is very important.

That's how Umbridge discovered the D.A. Army assembly?

You have to know that you have informed all members of the existence of the curse, so it stands to reason that there should be no informers like the one in the original book.

But the final result is that Umbridge still discovered their existence!

Thinking like this, Mike slowly closed his eyes and waited quietly in the darkness.

……

I don't know how long it has been before, a light suddenly came from the silent stairs, and then intermittent human voices also came over.

In the darkness, a pair of blue eyes suddenly opened. Mike squeezed the wand in his hand and stared at the corner of the stairs.

He had a hunch that the enemy would appear soon.

Mike's premonition was not bad at all. After a while, a Slytherin student holding a luminous wand appeared in front of Mike, and listening to the sound, there should be many people behind him.

By the light, the Slytherin student found Mike in the dark almost immediately.

He was taken aback for a moment, and then he began to move back quickly, with a very brilliant expression on his face.

"It's Mike! McTorry is here! Be careful, everyone!"

As soon as he said this, Mike heard exclamations from the crowd behind the man. Obviously, these people were startled by their names.

The corners of Mike's mouth rose up, and he was not surprised by the performance of these people. It is not surprising that these people will behave like this because of the shadow of the famous tree that he has made at Hogwarts over the years. .

The commotion of the crowd continued, but Mike stood still.

If he could, he would love to send a fireball to all of these people directly, but unfortunately he can't do this at this stage, otherwise not only the Ministry of Magic, but even Dumbledore and the school officials would not let him go.

After a while, the commotion in the Umbridge team on the opposite side finally stopped. The Slytherin students who had appeared in front of Mike at the beginning had long since disappeared, replaced by three adults in uniform uniforms. people.

Judging from the uniforms on their bodies and the badges on their chests, these people should be staff members of the Ministry of Magic, but their uniforms are different from those of the Aurors. Mike guessed that they should all be hitters.

Batterer and Auror, these two organizations constitute the regular military forces of the Ministry of Magic and the entire European wizarding society, of which Auror exists as an elite combat force.

One by one, they are not only very strong in personal strength, but also have a very high teamwork ability and can cooperate with each other to release some combination spells.

And if the Auror is an elite commando, the striker is an ordinary army.

They are large in number and their personal combat effectiveness is not high, but they also have the ability of teamwork.

In past wars, these strikers often existed as cannon fodder.

The moment he saw them, Mike's brows frowned.

This is not to say that Mike is afraid of these strikers, but that these people can represent many things when they appear here. You must know that the strikers, like the Auror, represent the Ministry of Magic!

At this moment, Umbridge's short and chubby figure squeezed out of the crowd and stood behind the hitters.

"Aha! Mike!" Umbridge said triumphantly, while still hiding behind the hitters, seemingly afraid of Mike's sudden attack. It's a pity that those blowers are so well-proportioned that they can't hide her behemoth at all, "I knew you were tricking the ghost in secret! Let me catch it now!"

Looking at her scared and proud look, Mike wanted to laugh very much, but for the main purpose of delaying time, Mike seemed to forcibly hold back his smile and said:

"Oh? You said you were tricking in secret, do you have any evidence?"

The smug look on Umbridge's face became more obvious. She wanted to say something, but a Slytherin on the side suddenly grabbed her and said something to her.

Immediately afterwards, Umbridge's face changed drastically, and he waved his finger and shouted at Mike:

"Don't let him delay, grab him!"

Hearing the words, the strikers waved their wands together, while the Slytherins behind them were hiding behind the strikers, secretly holding cold guns.

Mike shook his head. Seeing that the procrastination plan failed, and no ink stains anymore, he waved his wand and covered him with a haze of translucent gauze!

Safe guard!

The batters saw that Mike's face changed drastically, and they quickly withdrew the output magic power and unfolded the armor protection.

However, the Slytherins behind them didn't mean to retreat in the slightest, they still put down sneers with a grin.

"Sacha!"

A dozen or so spells of various colors fell on the tulle in front of Mike in an instant, but the next moment, the slytherins' smirks froze, because the curses were touching the tulle. The direction was reversed in an instant, and it started to reflect in all directions!

Mike smiled.

Safe Guarding Curse can deflect most of the attacking curses. If this protection curse is released in a collective battle, the deflected curse will undoubtedly injure allies by mistake, but now Mike is fighting alone!

And the battle location is still a narrow place like the stairs The deflection effect of the safe guard can be said to be outstanding!

"Merlin's beard!"

"Damn, who cast the disarming spell! My wand is gone!"

"Ah! It's a great front tooth match! Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

……

For a while, as the curse continued to bounce back, the crowd was in chaos.

The faces of the batters are dark. They have long seen that Mike is not a good enemy to deal with. Originally, they felt that with their mutual cooperation, they should be able to fight each other, but now there are so many pig teammates behind them. What should I do! ?

Now the Slytherins no longer dared to attack casually after suffering, and the batters kept their alert posture watching Mike.

The longer the safe guarding spell lasts, and the more spells deflected, the more magic power the caster consumes.

So the batters are waiting, waiting for the moment when Mike's magic is exhausted before launching an attack.

It's a pity that they obviously underestimated the magic power level in Mike's body. With their attack intensity, Mike can stay alone for days and nights without a problem.

And Mike did not attack the Slytherins.

Before they used Ping An to guard the Yin, they were all justified, but if he really took the initiative to attack them, then it would not be justified.

For a while, the scene inside the stairs turned out to be a strange stalemate!
