Vol 2 Chapter 1836: who to fight for

These animals are the patron saints of the founders. They are also a symbol of the Academy, combined with different objects to tell students what to expect in the Academy.
Courage, knowledge, power... for Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Slytherin respectively.
In this way, Hufflepuff is indeed very different from the other three founders and three colleges. Students who enter Hufflepuff may not get anything, after all, Hufflepuff himself does not value these. This is also the main reason why many people in the school have always believed that Hufflepuff's students are all rice buckets.
But the truth is clearly not so!
Hufflepuff's message was to teach students how to be human. Even if there is nothing, as long as you work hard, you will also become a qualified wizard.
Hufflepuff is an academy for ordinary people, and it is also the most populated academy. They may be mediocre, but they are not ordinary.
Ai Wen turned around, looked at the only dark corner of the room, looked at the Hufflepuff statue with open arms, and thought silently, in what way will her treasure key appear?
No one spoke for a while, and everyone fell into contemplation. Until Harry grunted in pain, his scar suddenly burned.
Everything in front of him disappeared, and in a high place deep in the Forbidden Forest, he looked at Hogwarts Castle from the air, and his eyes passed over the high cast iron gate, on both sides were stone pillars with winged boars on the top. , swept across the dark playground, looked at the brightly lit castle, and was filled with the ruthlessness and determination before the massacre.
Then, he turned around.
At his feet, Snape and several dark wizards knelt on the ground and told him about the attack on the school by the Order of the Phoenix. They were all scared, and their slightly trembling bodies revealed their inner fears.
His anger was rising, but he said nothing. His eyes swept across the wizard on the ground, and looked at an altar-like place in front of him, which was painted with all kinds of weird magical runes, just like the room inside the Slytherin statue.
They were also shimmering, but they were an unpleasant dark red and pale green.
The two kinds of magic radiance echo each other, and the center of the rune is not a magic stone.
A scepter stood there quietly, and two giant green snakes were wrapped around the scepter.
Harry knew it was the Double Snake Staff, he wanted to see more, but he spoke, his voice icy and biting, "Attack Hogwarts, kill them all!"
................................
The enchanted ceiling in the Great Hall was dark and gleaming with stars, and at four long tables below sat disheveled and disheveled students, some in traveling cloaks and some in dressing gowns.
Here and there, the milky white figures of those ghosts in the school flashed from time to time.
Dead or alive, every pair of eyes was on Professor McGonagall.
She was standing on the high podium in front of the auditorium, speaking to everyone. Behind her stood the teachers who stayed behind, as well as the members of the Order of the Phoenix who stayed to fight with Sirius and Lu Ping.
"...The evacuation was supervised by Mr. Filch and Madam Pomfrey. After the prefect heard my order, he organized the students of your house and was responsible for sending them to the evacuation site in an orderly manner."
At this moment, many students looked stunned. Recently, they heard a lot of terrible news one after another, but they never thought that the war would come so fast, and the final battle would be Hogwarts.
Ivan was sitting at the long-lost long table, surrounded by Harry, Hermione, and many Gryffindor students who had graduated. Even so, this table has never been so empty as it is now.
Many students have not returned to Hogwarts since Voldemort's reign.
Not long ago, there was a major purge, which swept away students from Muggle families.
The rest are also students protected by Dumbledore's Army.
To be honest, Ai Wen didn't expect much from this student organization at all.
They are all too young, inexperienced in combat, lacking the corresponding ability, and unable to fight against the Death Eaters. But during their absence at Hogwarts, Dumbledore's Army was still active and played a huge role in protecting and training many students.
These are all thanks to Neville.
When they were away, he was the commander of Dumbledore's Army, and Neville was much taller and haggard than when he parted last semester, but he was undoubtedly more mature, with more hair than Irving had ever seen before. It grows at any time, with a few cuts on his face, and his clothes are torn apart. From what Luna and other students have heard, Neville has led the students to do a lot over the past few months.
Ai Wen identified his classmates one by one, wanting to see who else was there.
The others were also looking at him and Harry, murmuring from time to time.
At this point someone shouted, "What if we want to stay and fight?"
This sentence won the applause and support of many people. In the plan, the students in the lower grades will be evacuated, but there are still many people who want to stay and fight. Age is not a reason to flee.
"Those with enough strength can stay." Professor McGonagall said, taking a deep breath, "but I hope everyone understands what it means to stay! This is a war, not a game, and we will face the world. The most dangerous dark wizard and his minions, all those who remain must be ready to die... But no matter what, we will never back down, this is the last section I give you Lesson. I want everyone here to understand why we fight, it's for Hogwarts, for the future of the wizarding world, for ourselves."
In response to her, there was a loud voice of discussion. Until a Ravenclaw girl stood up and asked, "If we evacuate, what about our things? Boxes, and owls?"
"It's too late to pack up," Professor McGonagall said. "The most important thing is to get you out of here safely."
"Where's Professor Snape?" shouted a girl at the Slytherin table.
"In a simple phrase, he ran away," said Professor McGonagall.
Cheers erupted from the Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw tables.
After the voice fell a little, Professor McGonagall continued, "We have put up defenses around the castle, but it is impossible to hold them for long unless we continue to strengthen this defense. Therefore, I ask that you must act quickly and calmly, Listen to the prefect's arrangement, those who want to stay..."
