Chapter 931: The Old Badger Who Fears No Death
Augusta Longbottom, a low-key but strong woman.
Throughout the history of the Longbottom family, whether it is every generation of heirs or every generation of women married into the family, the vast majority are Gryffindors, with few exceptions.
But the original Augusta was one of those "very few exceptions".
Yes, as an outstanding student who also graduated from Hogwarts, she was once a little badger not inferior to that genius girl Minerva McGonagall.
As we all know, the badger, which is the representative animal of Hufflepuff College, is actually divided into many types.
Most of them are good at survival, live in groups, and are never picky eaters. However, among them, there are often various natural habits due to the main living environment, predation competition of biological groups, and so on.
Among them, there is a kind of badger that is not only smart and thoughtful, but also fearless in the face of challenges, and dares to show its power to ligers, tigers and cheetahs that are far larger than itself.
This animal, which is also a badger with a frost-backed black belly, is called "honey badger".
And Neville's grandma, Augusta Longbottom, was probably the "Honey Badger" that was not commonly seen in Hufflepuff House.
Perhaps due to age, even Augusta, the "big sister" of Hufflepuff, has become more like an old badger as she gets older.
Although Neville was often scolded by her, but Neville didn't know that when she was young, her grandma was a hundred times more powerful than she is now.
Now, when Neville showed his courage in front of his grandma for the first time, he finally got a glimpse of the true demeanor of this grandma who always likes to wear strangely decorated hats.
"Neville, go and take them both into St. Mungo's -"
Neville, who had just discovered that his grandma had suddenly appeared by his side, was dragged behind him before he had time to react.
He looked at the back that was not tall, and even slightly fat, but he could only feel the aura of a wild beast from it.
Augusta is a real Hufflepuff. Although her courage surpasses many Gryffindors, anyone who has seen her cast the Patronus Charm will never doubt her origin.
Because the patron saint she summoned was a little silver-white badger.
At this moment, I saw the patron saint of badgers leaping left and right, dancing nimbly among those monsters. The sharp front claws were like blades, slashing across the monster's strong body again and again, bringing up wisps of black mist.
It was obviously just a small patron saint, but it was able to restrain so many terrifying monsters in its fast and uninterrupted attacks, and it was still causing damage to them all the time.
Whenever a monster tried to approach this side, Augusta would unhesitatingly release high-intensity spells continuously, directly blasting it back into the combat range.
All of a sudden, nearly ten monsters were stopped by her at the corner of the street.
Although containment does not mean a direct fight, but it is definitely not something ordinary wizards can do to stop those monsters as steadily as the old lady.
Neville called the two young wizards who escaped just now to run back, and at the same time cast a concerned look at grandma from time to time.
To be honest, before today, he never thought that his grandma was so powerful!
"Boom——"
Neville knocked on the window glass, and was about to let the dummy model inside open the passageway, but unexpectedly, the dummy opened the mouth before him:
"The verification has been transferred to the hospital. Those who seek asylum should enter immediately. Those who are seriously injured and unable to move, please call for help at the same place."
Before the words were finished, Neville touched the glass with his hand, and immediately found that he could already enter.
The entrance of St. Mungo's Magical Hospital originally had identity verification and event verification. Now, the hospital has activated temporary standards and transferred the latter verification to be completed internally.
As for the verification of the identity of the visitor, it had already been done by a dummy when Neville knocked on the glass.
"Come in! You go first—"
Seeing this, Neville immediately took a step aside,
Give way to the entrance to the passage. And the two refugees who followed him were not pretentious. While nodding to express their gratitude, they immediately rushed in head-on.
But after that, Neville didn't follow along.
"grandmother--"
"You go in first!"
Augusta's words were always unquestionable, especially in front of Neville. However, the current Neville is no longer the obedient grandson in the past.
"Grandma, you have to come here first."
After all, it is a bit reluctant to contain several monsters alone.
If she could be more than ten years younger, she is even sure that she can stop more monsters like this. But now time is not forgiving, not every wizard can be like Dumbledore, the older and stronger.
When Neville insisted on making grandma back, those monsters were still getting closer to Augusta. What made him sweat even more was the situation on the other side of the street.
There are also monsters gathering over there!
But on Mrs. Longbottom's side, when she thought that her grandson was behind her, she would not allow herself to take half a step back.
"Don't talk too much, go in!" The old lady said without looking back.
However, Neville was not willing to go first.
He knew that a situation like this where one person resists an attack is the most difficult to get out of.
Because what grandma has to face now is not just the group of monsters chasing after her - she has already handed over to her patron saint over there. And I don't know when, but she herself had to use the non-physical Patronus Charm to resist the two monsters on the other side.
However, between those silver-white light mist, gray-black flames began to fly continuously. Most of them were blocked by the light and mist, but after all, a small amount was missed, forcing the old lady to move and avoid them cautiously.
If he had been slightly slack and contaminated with that weird flame, he would probably be like the Auror he saw before, and could only fall miserably in the snow and howl in pain, right?
But just to avoid those flames, Augusta got farther and farther away from St. Mungo's entrance.
"Call God to protect you!"
Neville also released a large mass of condensed light mist, trying to disperse the black flames that fell on the street but were still burning, but the effect was not very obvious.
Seeing this, Neville stopped doing these useless actions, but controlled the ball of light and rushed towards the two monsters that grandma was blocking.
"Boom!"
One of them was knocked and flew upside down, and the other was also rubbed because it was too close, and it swayed in place.
A mouthful of black flame spit out and landed on the ground in front of it.
"Grandma, Apparate here! I'm covering for you—"
While shouting suddenly, Neville pulled his wand back violently, turning the flying ball of light back and hitting the monster's back.
"Are you really old?"
Old Mrs. Longbottom smacked her lips, and fiercely flung out a cloud of silvery light mist, forcing the monster that was thrown back by Neville's bump.
After that, she glanced behind her again, and then took advantage of this opportunity to disappear in place.
And almost the moment she left the spot, her patron saint finally failed to completely interfere with a monster spewing out gray flames, causing a group of gray-black fireballs to explode in the street.
Seeing this, the old lady who appeared next to Neville couldn't help flashing sharpness in her slightly cloudy eyes. If she had run a little later just now, the consequences might have been serious.
"Walk!"
Immediately afterwards, the old lady grabbed Neville's clothes again and rushed towards the entrance of St. Mungo's.
However, it is only a few steps away, but the possibility of accidents is still unavoidable. No matter how high the wisdom and experience of Augusta, it was impossible to expect at this moment-a monster flew out from the other side of the roof above.
"Roar--"
A soul-stirring roar chilled the old lady who was barely holding on... As for Neville, after enduring such a close-range soul impact, he had already fallen heavily into the thin snow on the ground.
"boom!"
Relying on her strong spiritual will, the old lady raised her hand suddenly, trying to interrupt the sudden roar.
As the light and mist dispersed, she held onto Neville's clothes tightly while resisting the monster directly above that was about to rush down. She didn't let go of Neville's hand just because he fell to the ground, but tried to drag him to the window with all her strength.
It's just that no matter how much she refuses to submit to old age, the grandson who has already grown up is no longer something she can hold back as an old woman. Normally, what she could drag Neville around was Neville's own respect and obedience after all.
However, right now she couldn't stop casting the Patronus Charm, so she could only delay it by herself.
"This little softie, I finally got tough today... It's a pity, I'm afraid I won't see him become a hero in the future."
After several failed attempts to pull Neville, Augusta shook her head. She was complaining sadly in her mouth, but her eyes became sharper instead.
The next second, the old lady suddenly withdrew the Patronus Charm, and even swung it upside down to sweep Neville at her feet. Accompanied by a soft "bang", Neville, who was in a daze, was pushed by a strong force, rolled and crashed into the window glass.
There was a wave of ripples, and Neville's figure disappeared.
And almost at the same time, the unstoppable monster rushed towards it, its gray hands closed together, and tightly strangled the old lady's neck.
"boom!"
There was another muffled sound, and Augusta actually suppressed the suffocation in his throat, and almost released a shattering curse with his wand against the monster's chest.
The power of such a powerful explosion at such a close range is not unilateral, and even she herself will inevitably suffer a lot of damage. But she did it anyway, even when she knew the consequences.
This badger from Hufflepuff has never been afraid, even in the face of death.
