Chapter 392 Chaos and Farce

"Hogwarts, Hogwarts..."

Lupine was lying on the table, muttering the Hogwarts school song, but he was already half drunk.

The victory of the Irish team made many people happy and couldn't sleep. The party organized by Sirius naturally became a good place to vent the energy that was constantly emerging because of Ireland's victory.

Professor Lu Ping naturally became the target of many parents' toasts. Lu Ping, who had not yet understood the necessity for professors to maintain a certain aloofness in public, was naturally easily persuaded to stay on the table.

But this is easy to understand. After all, before the new bill was enacted, the treatment of werewolves in wizard society was really hard to describe. As for receiving certain subsidies for wolfsbane potions like the new bill, it was even more unthinkable. matter.

Although the subsidy seems a bit unreliable due to the high price of wolfsbane potion, in any case, this is a kind of goodwill release of werewolves by the Ministry of Magic, and it also makes adult wizards more accepting of Professor Lupin. .

‘I don’t know how long this bonfire banquet will last. ’

William was thinking while eating a small cake - Sirius's banquet was somewhat of a dance party. He really didn't expect that wizards could dance under such a bonfire...

He has already had his feet stepped on twice in the darkness. He has been sitting here for a long enough time. If it doesn't end, he will be stepped on by some unlucky kid who used the name of being invited to dance as a sparring partner...

A bully professor won't make a loud noise or laugh out loud when he's stepped on, right?

They have obviously been strict enough with these children, and the fifth graders and current seniors don't even dare to joke casually anymore - as expected, too little homework has caused them to have some misunderstanding, right?

‘Isn’t this guy Lupin pretending to be drunk to avoid being stepped on? ’

But it's not impossible - Lupine has been tortured by malice for a long time, and he hasn't learned to refuse kindness.

‘I don’t want to be like Filch, a professor who gives too bad evaluations to his students... Otherwise, I can just refuse here as a matter of course, instead of using the excuse of being a little tired or hungry. ’

He even wanted to pretend to be drunk, but that was not feasible - one of the important reasons for him to stay awake was to monitor whether anything would go wrong at night. Once he was lying on the table, his detection and response would be at least as slow in an emergency. Three to five seconds, that is absolutely not feasible.

"professor."

Harry came back from the field with an embarrassed look on his face, and his dance partner ran away with a smile on his face. Because Harry was a background in the stands tonight, he was quite popular tonight.

"Dancing back?"

"Um…"

"Being stepped on or trampling on someone else?"

William took a sip of water and asked half-jokingly while observing the surroundings.

"I stepped on someone..."

Harry blushed a little.

"What about the girl I want to ask to dance? Have you invited her?"

William asked teasingly.

"ah???"

Harry was stunned - why did Sirius say nothing?

"Um?"

William suddenly became energetic - he just hit a shot when he had some dates, but he really hit it?

"No…"

“Then hurry up and invite—why are you just sitting here?”

"Can…"

"Go and do it!"

William's tone became a little more serious. Harry didn't dare to ask why. He stood up and moved towards that direction with small steps...

He gathered his courage and breathed in and out...

"Can you dance a song with me?"

'Damn it...my voice sounds so stupid...'

Only now did Harry realize what he had done under the professor's order. He had just invited Qiu, who was taking a break after dancing!

Time seemed to have frozen, and the air suddenly became stagnant.

Then, something suddenly appeared, breaking and shattering everything that was solidified.

"OK."

He suddenly felt that everything became better, and all the happiness and unhappiness today became less important.

The dance music had just changed, and he was almost blushing——

"Everyone, grab your wands!"

Professor William's voice sounded suddenly, and the sound amplified by magic even covered up the music of the bonfire dance.

Harry subconsciously tried to pull out his wand, but couldn't pull it out with his right hand.

He quickly changed his strategy, and without thinking, he pulled out the wand with his left hand in a gesture that looked quite strange to outsiders.

As the warmth of the wand appeared, he subconsciously pulled the person holding his right hand behind him, and then pointed the wand away from the professor's voice.

The temporary guest musician was still in a daze. He looked at the source of the warning sound and found William.

Half the night had already allowed him to remember the face of this somewhat young professor, not to mention that he had been commenting on the professor for a long time while holding a telescope.

Therefore, he resumed the good habit he had developed in school and listened to the professor first when something happened.

When the music stopped, the people who were about to dance naturally turned their attention to William - the authority of the Hogwarts professor played an extremely good role at this moment, and a group of people who graduated from or studied at Hogwarts followed suit. He pulled out his wand, and then watched William apparate to the front of the team.

"I secretly splashed Lu Ping with clear water like a spring to wake him up. I kept the magic potion, diluted it three times and used it, and drank it for him..."

A small voice came to Harry's ears - instructions that were lowered by magic and amplified in his ears, making him decide to follow them without hesitation.

At the same time, Sirius also emerged from the crowd and stood next to William.

At this moment, everyone realized something was wrong.

Without the suppression of music, screams and panicked shouts can be heard endlessly, and even the occasional bright light of a curse can be found in the sky - this is definitely not a scene that can appear in any celebration.

William took a breath and took out the golden ball he picked up while watching the game from his pocket.

If the Quidditch hooligans are causing trouble, it might be a good idea to try a combination of freezing spells and water - hopefully it will calm those guys' alcohol-addled heads.

He waved his wand and shot a beam of light directly into the air, illuminating the surrounding area and illuminating the rioting crowd that had already walked not far away.

The bright light did not stop those guys - loud jeers, wild laughter, and drunken shouts moved towards them with the crowd.

A group of wizards huddled tightly together, each pointing their wands upward, pushing forward together, moving slowly across the field.

Above their heads, four struggling figures floated in the air, twisted into various weird shapes, as if these masked wizards on the ground were puppeteers, and the people above them were marionettes. Controlled by invisible ropes emerging from the wand into the air.

‘More than just a gangster. ’

William took a breath and noticed something was wrong.

Their heads are covered with hoods and their faces are covered with masks - Quidditch hooligans will not do this kind of masked situation. They regard fighting as an honor and will attack the opponent's fans or attack the opponent's fans because of losing. He will commit various acts of violence and destruction, but he will never do so with his face covered.

'Is this a premeditated violent activity or a serious violation of the confidentiality law...'

William recognized the men being lifted up as camp managers, Muggles.

If you were caught doing this, you would definitely be sent to Azkaban - he knew it very well.

'There are too many that cannot be defeated. Dumbledore may be able to suppress them, but it is impossible for me, and it is impossible for the people behind him...'

He made this judgment immediately.

So, without even blinking, he waved his wand, and blazing flames ignited directly from the grass.

Suddenly there was a sound of air-conditioning sucking from behind him - not long after the Dark Lord's most raging era, many people could recognize this terrifying flame, especially since it was slightly blue.

"Leave this area!"

William's voice was amplified by magic, mercilessly stimulating the eardrums of a group of masked wizards over there.

No one spoke up, no one moved forward, and no one turned away.

After careful identification, everyone easily identified William, who had been stared at by the telescope for a long time today, among the blazing fire.

'The self-defense professor at Hogwarts...'

Some people who joined in halfway just to vent were a little flustered. The professor's authority was not easy for them to challenge.

And those who had already planned it began to hesitate...

"I ask you to leave here, do you object?"

William directly waved his wand to direct the flames, letting a fire snake tie up the wizard who was trying to do something in front of him - to deal with this kind of internally disunited rabble, he had to scare loudly and at the same time promptly kill the guy who could inspire people to have the courage to resist. Get it.

A shrill scream immediately came from the opponent's mouth, and an unpleasant smell instantly spread throughout the overly tight team.

The fire snake burned for a while and then stopped immediately, but the other party was already rolling on the ground in pain.

The guy in front, who was obviously the leader, suddenly pointed his wand at William's side, with full attack intent.

William confirmed that he could not defeat so many people, nor could he catch so many people with ulterior motives - otherwise Li Huo would have burned them all.

The golden ball made in the afternoon was thrown up by him, and he quickly shouted towards the opposite side, "Here is the magic potion for marking, the kind that cannot be washed away in three days - it can mark about ten people, you should know what this means What are you wearing..."

Retreaters immediately appeared among the silent crowd, and the dense crowd dispersed.

Once their current behavior is marked, the striker is determined to come to the door like a shark that smells blood, and then send them to Azkaban without mercy.

"There are a bunch of students here. Whoever dares to threaten students...will die."

The flames rolled up, with a blue tinge, rising to a height of more than three meters, and then quickly lowered, expanding to double the original area, with an all-devouring aura that supported William's words.

The leading masked man stood there, put his wand against his throat, and made a weird sound.

"Not attacking cubs is a promise that even giants must abide by... Let's take a detour."

"Put the Muggles down!"

William's wand was not loose at all, "I don't care what you want to do - whether it's destruction or parade, it's not allowed in this area, this is my territory."

"You ask for too much...Professor..."

William didn't answer and stared at him firmly.

The masked men hesitated - after the first concession, the second concession became natural.

Paji.

They threw the people to the ground in a humiliating manner, and even used their boots to kick out the dirt and cover the four unlucky guys.

But people are finally let go.

As if to vent their anger, they lit the trees on fire and used their wands to cast random spells into the sky.

But in the end no spell dared to cross the flames.

As the trees were set on fire one by one, the team began to curse - they cursed the perpetrators in a messy language and destroyed, but in the end they went away.

William took a breath and shouted loudly.

"Sirius, come and help put out the fire! Professor Luping, are you awake? Come and help control the fire!"

He has been suppressing the flames for a long time, and he will really lose control without help.

If this thing didn't burn people, it would be a bit more intimidating - but it's still famous enough to bluff people.

As Sirius and Lupine came over to help put out the fire and get the fire under control, he quickly took out the potion from his pocket and quickly used the potion to extinguish the flames.

This method is much more worry-free than control, which is why he dares to use the dangerous black magic of Li Huo - if it is controlled properly, this thing will not hurt people at all, but before it causes harm, its The sequelae of black magic are also the smallest.

This hurried performance made many people who were frightened by his black magic and the masked men laugh. Although everyone just picked up the wand, those parents who graduated were still very confident about their magic skills. There were countless of them. If William hadn't been at the front, many of them might have run away with their children halfway.

"The magic potion for marking...Professor William, I really have yours..."

Only now did Sirius dare to interrupt - at first William told him not to act rashly and hide in the crowd. If he couldn't intimidate the other party, they would attack the people in front together to see if they could get rid of the commander on the other side.

Later, when William threatened the other side, he had to be careful not to expose William.

When he finally showed up, he had to concentrate on dealing with Li Huo. Only now could he say something with peace of mind.

"Fortunately, the Daily Prophet blew it hard enough..."

William nodded, “Otherwise it’s really not that simple to defraud.

Lupine was dripping and a little tipsy now, but his wand was held tightly.

“Everyone, calm down—” William raised his voice.

"Collect the tents that have not been damaged around them, put them together, and give priority to children under the age of fourteen first, and then provide them to children under the sixth grade."

"The rest of the group stayed with us overnight to ensure the safety of our collective camp."

"All children under the age of seventeen in the sixth grade here should hold their wands. I give special permission for you to use magic outside the school today until it is safe to protect the lower grades and children who are not enrolled in school."

"Now let's allocate our manpower. Some of them will search for tents, some of them will search for fuel to maintain our fire, and some of them will collect food to ensure the physical strength of the night watchers."

William issued orders in an orderly manner, with a relaxed and calm expression, as if he had not just terrorized a group of thugs, but was taking a group of students on a spring outing.
