The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

George, Fred and the others rushed to the eighth floor of Hogwarts in a hurry.

Along the way, as get out of class time arrived, the entire Hogwarts seemed to come alive.

The huge castle was filled with the laughter of classmates.

Normally, this was Harry and the others' favorite scene.

Now Harry just felt noisy.

If possible, he really wanted to appear in front of Link in a flash and ask if what George and Fred said before was true.

However, his wish could not be realized after all.

Because as soon as they stepped onto the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, a tall and handsome figure stood in front of them.

"Cedric, get out of the way, we have to go see Link."

George and Fred looked displeased and said to Cedric who was blocking the way.

But after hearing this, Cedric said calmly:

"Link is asking Percy about the Ministry of Magic, and he doesn't have time to receive you at the moment."

"Is Percy already here?" Ron said with some surprise, "Isn't that just right? We are all a family anyway, why don't we go over and listen together?"

Cedric didn't speak, he just shook his head calmly.

This scene made Ron stunned, and the expressions of George and Fred instantly darkened.

The two of them looked at each other, took out their wands and warned:

"Cedric, let me say it for the last time, let us go see Link! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

Cedric's eyes glanced at the wands held tightly by George and Fred, and then he chuckled and said:

"Don't ask for trouble, George, Fred. The two of you combined are no match for me, and you should both understand this."

Both George and Fred's bodies were shaking with anger.

But in the end, they just glared at Cedric, and then quickly pulled back Ron and others, who were still holding their necks and refused to leave.

It wasn't until they were far away that Cedric sighed deeply, turned his head towards the shadow behind him and said:

"My mission is accomplished."

"well done."

Link said as he walked out of the shadows.

Also with him were John, Emily, and other members of the deep circle.

"Then," Link turned to the people behind him and continued, "we should gather people and go to the Ministry of Magic."

Hearing this, John and Emily nodded and left quickly in different directions.

They must summon the elite soldiers from Hogwarts and the hunters from Forlì Castle to go to the Ministry of Magic as quickly as possible.

"Are you really sure that Harry and the others will risk their lives to raid the Department of Mysteries?"

Cedric leaned over and said a little uneasily.

"This is inevitable. I understand their thoughts very well. Not to mention their destination, I can even guess their path to the Ministry of Magic very accurately." Link glanced at Cedric He said, "What, you can't bear it anymore?"

Cedric shook his head and said:

"That's not the case, it's just... I just think it's a little too hurtful to do this. Harry and the others believe in us, and George and Fred..."

"But this is the best way to deal with it, isn't it?" Link continued, "In fact, if it were Dumbledore, he would have gone even further than us. At least, we can still ensure their safety."

"Yes, this is the only solution."

Cedric let out a long sigh and then put his hand on Link's shoulder, "Then let's go."

Hearing this, Link smiled softly, and with a wave of the wand in his hand, the two of them disappeared into the corridor with an explosion.

……

"George! Fred! I can't believe it! You two were actually frightened away by that pretty boy! Where is your usual domineering energy? Aren't you quite vicious when teasing junior students? Emotional Just bully the weak and fear the strong!”

On the way back to the Gryffindor common room, Ron was taunting George and Fred wildly.

This made George and Fred's already unpleasant expressions even worse.

Finally, they couldn't bear it any longer, so they lifted Ron up like a little chicken and rushed into the boys' bathroom nearby.

"Little brat! What do you know?"

George pushed Ron against the wall, and George said angrily, "Do you think we don't want to go up and fight Cedric directly?

But what's the point?

Just like he said, the two of us are no match for him!

If you really want to take action, nothing will change except being slapped by him! "

Ron was obviously still unconvinced and struggled and said:

"Aren't we still here? We can help too!"

"You? What do you mean?" Fred was completely exasperated. "You three can't even beat us! If we really want to fight with Cedric, it's already good if you don't say you're helping, you're not holding us back." Got it!"

"I know Cedric is very good, but he's not as good as you say, right?" Harry said a little unconvinced, "I remember he never had any outstanding achievements!"

Facing Harry, George was obviously much more polite and said in a slower tone:

"Please, that's because Link is here, so Cedric doesn't have much chance to show off!

In fact, don't look at us calling Cedric a pretty boy every day, but he is the strongest Hufflepuff student besides Link!

If it hadn't been for Link during the Triwizard Tournament, Cedric would have become the Warrior! "

Fred then added:

"And do you really understand the difference between senior members and members of Link's inner circle?

They can read a huge number of magic books in the Foley family and the entire Hogwarts Restricted Area, and they are directly instructed by Link!

Their speed of progress is completely incomparable to ours! "

Harry and Ron instinctively wanted to continue to refute, their mouths moved a few times but nothing came out.

Because they all know that what George and Fred are telling is absolutely the truth!

"But you don't have to worry too much." George and Fred saw this and said, "Because Cedric came forward to stop us, which actually explained everything to us.

Link and the others are deliberately stalling for time, not wanting us to go to the Department of Mysteries!

I now even suspect that the reason why there has been no reply to the letters you sent is because Link intercepted them! "

"how can that be!?"

Hermione stood at the door of the bathroom and screamed, "Link wouldn't do something like that. There must be some misunderstanding here!"

"Misunderstanding? I don't think so! Otherwise, why wouldn't he want to see us?" George and Fred sneered, "The warrior who slays the dragon eventually turns into an evil dragon. Don't we see this kind of thing too often?

Also, do you know how beneficial this place is to Link?

The situation he faced now was actually not much different from Umbridge's back then.

Both have chosen to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic, and both have not yet obtained full authority over Hogwarts.

And if the dream Harry had was true, then Dumbledore and the others would definitely be in trouble this time.

In this case, he can truly become the master of the entire Hogwarts Castle! "

Hermione and Harry turned pale at George Fred's words.

George and Fred's speculations were so sound that it was hard not to believe them.

At this time, Ron, who finally calmed down, said:

"What you say makes sense, but what we are facing now is, what should we do next?"

"It's actually very simple!"

George and Fred smiled mysteriously and said, "Ron, you should trust your brothers, we always take action after we think of a solution!"

After saying that, George and Fred looked out at the sky, then left the castle with Harry and the other three, and ran towards Hagrid's hut.

As for Hagrid, the three of them actually visit Hagrid every few weeks.

However, due to the experience of being framed by Umbridge and subsequently having his half-brother expelled from Hogwarts by Harry, although Hagrid has not been expelled from Hogwarts, he has still received considerable punishment. blow.

When George and Fred led the trio to Hagrid's hut, they were greeted by a desolate landscape.

I saw that the originally regular farmland near Hagrid's hut was now completely abandoned.

The fields were not only covered with weeds, but there were also many goblins looking at their group of people.

Some bolder goblins even dug holes around Hagrid's cabin.

This was something Hagrid would never have allowed in the past.

Because goblins, a well-known pest in the magical world, like to build their own kingdom underground. This wanton behavior will seriously damage farmland and the foundation of houses.

And this also gave Harry and his group some bad premonitions.

"Hagrid! Are you there?"

George frowned and knocked on the door of Hagrid's cabin while shouting.

However, before knocking twice, he unexpectedly discovered that the door of the wooden house was not closed at all, but was knocked open by him.

The moment the door opened, the strong smell of alcohol mixed with the disgusting smell of vomit came directly to the door.

The original scene in the hut, although it was messy, was barely bearable, no longer existed.

Although the original general appearance of Hagrid's hut can still be clearly seen, the overall appearance is like a garbage dump.

The fireplace in the corner has long been extinguished, and the hound Fang Ya is lying in his den shivering.

Hagrid, on the other hand, fell to the ground in an extremely strange posture.

Half of his face was pressed on a puddle of vomit. He was obviously asleep, but miraculously he was not snoring.

If it weren't for the fact that his body was still rising and falling slowly with his breathing, others would even think that he was dead.

"Oh! God! Hagrid! Hagrid are you okay?"

The bad smell in the room was almost blown out by Harry and others, but seeing Hagrid's appearance, Harry rushed to Hagrid's side regardless.

He shouted Hagrid's name loudly and pushed Hagrid at the same time.

In the end, Hagrid, who was drunk, just slapped him down against the wall, causing him to lose his balance and fall into the doghouse with Yaya.

Hermione, Ron and others were all looking at Hagrid with disbelief. They couldn't understand why Hagrid became like this in such a short period of time.

George and Fred were also quite disappointed when they saw this.

However, in order not to let go of any hope, they still filled Hagrid with several bottles of potions specially designed to sober up - this stuff is a very popular potion at Hogwarts, and most students will drink it. After secretly drinking, I drank some of this to eliminate the smell of alcohol from my body and not let the professor find out.

However, this potion, which usually only requires a few drops to sober up a deeply drunk person, had no effect on Hagrid.

Even after Hermione and Harry had helped to clear away all the rubbish in the hut and the fireplace was relit, Hagrid still did not regain consciousness, and instead started to snore.

This made George so angry that he threw the empty bottle out and complained:

"It's okay now, we can't even count on Hagrid!"

"Then what are we going to do next?" Harry asked with a pale face. "Without Hagrid's help, we wouldn't have been able to successfully steal the Thestral and leave Hogwarts. Professor Graplan, who is now in charge of the Thestral, is not that kind." Easy to fool."

Hearing this, Fred said with some surprise:

"Who told you that we were going to leave Hogwarts on the Thestral? We all have our own broomsticks, why don't we just leave on the broomstick? As for Hagrid, we just came here to see if we could We can’t just bring him into the group. However, it seems unlikely now.”

"Fred, this is not realistic at all!" Hermione frowned, "Hogwarts is really far from the Ministry of Magic. We simply can't get there with broomsticks!"

George said helplessly:

"Miss Know-It-All, please listen to what we have to say!

Now all the known secret passages in Hogwarts have been blocked by Link.

So now we need to take a broomstick to Hogsmeade, and then things will become very simple.

There is a Pig's Head pub there, and the owner there seems to have a grudge against Dumbledore and Hogwarts.

He was more than happy to sell some last-minute drinks to students like us, which is how we got most of the butterbeer we smuggled into the school to sell.

Therefore, I think that as long as we can afford the price, he probably won't pursue us for sneaking out of Hogwarts, and will even allow us to use the floo network fireplace in his shop. "

Fred then added:

"Oh! By the way, this purchase channel is our trade secret. You can secretly continue to purchase goods and run this business after we graduate, but it is best not to tell others. This will affect the market balance! "

The Harry trio were stunned by what George and Fred said.

But he still followed George and Fred out of Hagrid's hut, and after walking around the edge of the Forbidden Forest for more than half an hour, he got on his broomstick and killed the pig's head directly from a remote and uninhabited route. bar.
