The first floor of the castle has fallen.

Ginny, like other students rescued by Nexter, fled into the castle in panic to avoid the attack of the orcs.

These strangely dressed attackers used bows and crossbows, staves, swords, and many other weapons whose uses she could not immediately identify.

These orcs even have guns, but they don't fire bullets, but some kind of magical projectiles.

"Don't try to hurt my child, you beasts!" Mrs. Weasley's eyes were red. She stopped Ginny with her left hand and slashed with her wand like a sword, emitting dazzling rays of light.

Although Ginny didn't know why her mother was here, she wanted to help. As soon as she raised her wand and aimed at a target, Ron yelled, "Watch out!"

He clumsily picked her up and slammed her against the wall of the corridor, desperately turning his body to use his back to block the impact for his sister. And in the next moment, a dragon of fire burned towards where she was standing, and the marble floor melted like wax!

Ginny's mind went blank. She couldn't imagine how miserable her death would be if she was hit by the pillar of fire. Ron pushed her stiff body away, slid to his feet, raised his wand and roared, "Don't even think about touching her! Faint!"

His wand emitted a red light, and the half-dragon girl who had used the flamethrower to create the pillar of fire screamed and quickly jumped off the half-collapsed pillar, falling on her butt.

"Damn it... you... it's all your fault that I made a fool of myself!" The half-dragon girl's eyes seemed to be dancing with flames, filled with malice, "There are so many pieces of trash, how about burning them all up with fire? It will be warm!"

Before Ginny could do anything, a big hand pulled her up from the ground. It was Percy, his nerdy tortoise-shell glasses were gone, and there was a wound on his head from the broken bricks. The blood-stained face made Ginny gasp.

"Over here!" Percy didn't care about his own injuries at all. He forcefully pushed Ginny into the arms of a fifth-year female student. He turned around and held up the armor spell with other senior students to resist the rolling waves of fire. "Penelope! Take good care of her!"

Ginny then realized that her wrist was grabbed by the Ravenclaw prefect. The tall Penelope, with her black hair loose, fired several blasting spells at the orcs. Without time to check the results, she leaned over and shouted to Ginny and several other junior students, "Go to the tapestry! The side with the unicorn! The secret passage at the back leads directly to the fourth floor. Hurry!"

As she spoke, Ginny saw Peeves (the ghost of Hogwarts) flying over her head like the wind, laughing loudly, and taking out dozens of balloons filled with ink from his crotch and smashing them on the orcs' heads, causing balls of color to burst out.

It is not very harmful and extremely insulting.

The ink-covered orcs fired a hail of bullets at Peeves in retaliation, but this also greatly reduced the pressure on the students who were relying on the corridor for defense. Ginny was pushed hard by Penelope, and stumbled into the secret passage behind the tapestry with several junior students.

This should have been a shortcut for students to chat and laugh on their way to the classroom, but now it has become a route for escape.

Who is invading us?

Ginny didn't even have time to think about this question, as the wall in front of the spiral secret passage suddenly exploded!

Ginny couldn't help but scream as the gravel flew across her face. She saw Zheng Shilong—the man with a skull face—holding an ancient bronze sword, with red blood bursting out of his body, and stabbing it straight at the chest of a white-haired, cat-eared girl!

If the cat-eared girl hadn't controlled a giant sword like a block of iron to block her chest, she would have been pierced through the heart by the sword!

Even so, the girl still couldn't hide her decadence. She was pushed by the ancient bronze sword and crashed through the wall on the other side of the secret passage. A large white light burst out from her body, and she and Zheng Shilong both disappeared into the cracked hole.

"Go! Hurry!"

Ginny heard this familiar voice. It was Neville Longbottom, who was in the same grade as Harry. He entered the secret passage with her. The fat boy with a round face opened his eyes wide because of fear, his face was covered with cold sweat, and his knees were shaking like a phantom.

But he suddenly burst out with strength from nowhere, grabbed a Slytherin freshman and Ginny's sleeves, stepped over the rubble on the ground, and ran towards the end of the spiral staircase like a bull.

Ginny stumbled, her arm was pulled painfully, and she found herself shedding tears, not because of the pain, but because she could not do anything to change the fact that she was being harassed by unknown forces.

*Girl, do you desire to have power? *

Ginny blinked hard and looked around blankly. Everything around her seemed so blurry. Every stone brick was twisting and dragging heavy shadows. It was so unreal.

*Sign a contract with me. This will be enough to change your destiny.*

Who...who is talking to me?

*I am your exclusive system. Don't hesitate, sign a contract with me, and let fate kneel before you! *

Ginny felt a chill run down her spine, as if someone were digging cold fingers into the back of her neck.

*Don't worry, you don't have to pay any price. I can make you the best in the world. You want to save your mother, right? She's going to die soon. Do you want to cry while hugging her corpse? Hurry, there's still time. *

I……

*What are you hesitating about? Are you so cold-blooded that you would rather watch your mother die than become one with me? *

Ginny felt that this would cost her the most precious thing, but she was so eager to help her mother. This tempting proposal, this power at her fingertips, she only needed to nod slightly -

"Shut up, clown. Your presence makes Witch Lani feel sick."

As if glass was broken, the piercing sound of the cracking woke Ginny up from a dream, and the unreal environment suddenly returned to reality.

Is this the fourth floor? When...

Through the broken window in front of her she saw Fred and George on their Sweeping Seven broomsticks, the twins carrying batsmen's clubs as they flew through the warm snow, giving the orcs who were grappling with hooks to the castle walls a blow on the back of the head as they passed.

"Sorry! Hogwarts is not receiving foreign guests today!" Fred knocked an orc who looked like a large albino lizard off the wall, and his unbridled laughter could be heard through the gas mask.

"My wife won't receive me either!" George shot the Bludger that they had modified. The heavy ball flew across the sky and hit the large shield on the back of a weak-looking cat-eared girl. She was so scared that she fell off the hook, splashing a white light.

"Your jokes are terrible, George!" Fred said with a chuckle, but he didn't hold back any strength with the short stick in his hand. "If it were me, I should -"

A sharp arrow shot through the air towards his chest. It was shot by a female orc with red and green eyes. George's laughter stopped abruptly, and Ginny let out a scream that was not like a human voice.

With a flash of pale claws, the raven flew through the air like a ghost, leaving a sharp ink mark in the air and cutting off the cold arrow in mid-air!

Ginny's heart was beating like a drum as she watched the raven circle and land on the roof of the castle, with a sturdy badger wearing a yellow helmet squatting next to it.

As it turned its head indifferently and looked around, she suddenly had a clear feeling - in every shadow, there was a group of silent crows hidden.

It silently protects every little wizard in its own way.

Fred, totally unaware that he had walked a narrow path to death, laughed and shouted, "Miss, nearsighted!" He lowered the broom handle and dived towards the female orc who had shot him. George followed closely behind, looking confused and relieved.

"Don't just stand there, girl!" Ginny was grabbed by the shoulders and pulled back from the window. It turned out to be Mr. Filch, the castle manager.

Behind him, in the corridor on the fourth floor closest to the stairs, the deans of the four major colleges and a group of professors formed a defense line with their bodies, struggling to resist the orcs who broke into the school through the surrounding windows.

The short Professor Flitwick was almost dancing in the opponent's attack, relying on his nimble body to move left and right, and casting powerful spells at will. Thunderstorms and hail blew up in the corridor, and orcs kept exploding into white light in the magical light.

Professor Snape pursed his lips tightly, his vicious eyes seemed to spit out venom, his black robe fluttered, and his wand was waving wildly. This was a kind of magic that Ginny had never seen before, which seemed to be able to summon invisible blades. The orcs screamed and covered their suddenly broken hands and feet. A large amount of white light sprayed out from the broken surface, and the light rolled on the floor like a solid entity.

The next moment, the floor came alive, Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration "awakened" them from their static state, and the marble broke apart into countless small and ferocious animals, which drilled into the orcs' clothes and gnawed them wantonly, making them look like they had countless wriggling tumors.

"Everyone cover your ears!" shouted Professor Sprout, who was wearing earmuffs. The fat woman in a gray robe threw ugly babies at the orcs in each hand - at least that's what Ginny thought for a moment.

Those ugly babies had stems and green leaves on their heads, and they let out extremely shrill screams as soon as they landed on the ground.

It's the mandrakes! Their cries can kill people!

Ginny covered her ears tightly, but still felt her limbs numb and her heartbeat lost rhythm, as if it would stop at any moment. The orcs were obviously more resilient than the wizards. They were surrounded by white light bursting because of the howling of the mandrake, but they were still able to move!

"Don't waste the herbs, professor! I need them to treat the infected!" Lin Youdao, wearing a gray-blue Taoist robe, stepped on a peach wood sword and floated down from the top of the stairwell. He quickly formed hand seals with his hands, and his wide sleeves fluttered like wings. A large number of ochre-yellow talismans flew out of his sleeves, forming the shape of the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams in the air.

Lin Youdao formed a mysterious hand seal with his ten fingers, and his whole body was filled with energy. He spoke with a spring thunder: "Five rampant soldiers, march out!"

The Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams rumbled and turned, and the yellow talismans in the sky intertwined and twisted, forming dozens of mighty and strong armored human figures. The cinnabar on the talismans was linked and flashing, like blood vessels in their bodies. These soldiers mounted the talisman horses, waved their long spears in the violent war roar, and rushed towards the orcs!

"The heavens are vigorous! My way is flourishing!"

The yellow talisman soldiers smashed the corridor railings and engaged in close combat with the orcs. The broken white light and burning talisman paper splattered like blood. Ginny noticed a horrifying thing during the battle between the two sides - those orcs who had long been shattered into white light actually climbed in through the window again as if nothing had happened!

Lin Youdao's talisman soldiers are constantly decreasing, but the orcs will not die at all!

"Filch!" Professor McGonagall deflected a spell directed at Madam Hooch with her wand and shouted to the castle warden, "Take the children upstairs! It's not safe here!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Filch stared at him with a pair of goldfish-like puffy eyes. Ginny was surprised to find that this old Squib, as Fred called him, actually used magic. The metal wand was connected to the cylindrical machine on Filch's waist by a cable, and the runes on those metal parts were obviously derived from the magic engine.

"Earth and stone digging!"

The copper metal wand chopped down, and a wall of earth rose from the ground, cutting off Ginny's connection with the battlefield. Filch shouted in surprise and joy, as if he had never expected that he could use magic to this extent.

He pushed Ginny's shoulder hard and shouted to the young wizards coming up from the secret passage: "Keep going up! Find an empty classroom to hide in!"

"What about you?" Neville's voice became shrill with nervousness.
