"'That man' wants that prophecy ball about him and Harry!" said Willow Quan without hesitation, knowing that saying what Harry was already feeling now shouldn't have any effect on the plot. Sure enough, the system bacteria didn't come out to stop her, and they didn't issue that "pre-failure warning" worth 100,000 points.

"He took advantage of Harry's ability to feel his bits and pieces, and tricked Harry and the children into going to the Department of Mysteries! he wanted to find the prophecy orb through Harry's hand!" she said hurriedly, as she walked from behind her desk, "He's been waiting there long ago—didn't he assign you this task, Severus?"

Snape's face changed. He grabbed her arm, as if unwilling to analyze the deeper meaning behind the matter now.

"Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange ...... 'that man' sent them on a 'big and secret' mission tonight......" he squeezed a sentence out of his teeth, his face already turning extremely ugly.

Liu Quan made a decision immediately.

"You go to Professor Dumbledore and tell him about it. I'll go to the Ministry of Magic right away. It's best to stop the kids before they mess around and bring them all back!" she ran her left hand into the wand in her right sleeve, and suddenly remembered something, and grabbed Snape's hand that was still holding her right arm. Snape seemed taken aback, and the hand immediately let go. But Liu Quan held his hand tightly.

"Be careful not to expose yourself, Severus. Once you notify Dumbledore, your mission is complete. Never go to the Ministry of Magic unless 'that person' orders you. Her green eyes were bright and burning at him, "I'll bring Harry and the children back safely." They're going to be fine, I swear. ”

Snape pursed his lips gloomily as she watched. But before he could answer, she had let go of his hand and rushed into the fireplace. A burst of fire rose, and her figure vanished.

※※※※※※※

With a bang, Willow Springs found himself in an unfamiliar fireplace. She stepped out and dusted off her body.

It was strange, like a long corridor, with fireplaces lining the walls one after the other, giving Willow Springs the first impression of a bus stop - except that there were no bus stop signs, instead a dozen or twenty neatly arranged fireplaces. There was no one in the corridor late at night, it was very quiet, and there was a brazier for lighting in the corridor far away - the backward wizarding world, the backward Ministry of Magic!

It wasn't her first time here, but it was the first time she'd been there in the silence of the night. Willow Quan cautiously drew his wand and walked forward, trying to listen intently for the movement inside.

The Ministry of Magic building was bigger than she had imagined, and she didn't know where the Department of Mysteries was located. After walking for a while, Liu Quan stood still in the middle of a hall that was still full of fireplaces, looking around, a little confused and depressed.

She should have asked where the Department of Mysteries was before she came over. Unfortunately, she was so shocked at the time that the ominous memory of "tonight is the death of Siris" came to her mind, so she couldn't calmly ask Snape for the exact location of the Department of Mysteries, which was really unwise.

But she didn't have time to blame herself. She heard a small "thud" from a fireplace not far away, and immediately ducked into the shadows in the corner of the wall.

A man in a black cloak, mask, and hood emerges from the fireplace. Willow Springs had an idea, and immediately silently added a disillusionment charm and a mute charm to himself, and followed the Death Eater, trying to track them down to find the whereabouts of Harry and the rest of Dumbledore's Army.

But this plan was soon shattered.

Willow Springs, crept with the Death Eater into a dark hall. Then the Death Eater seemed to pause, looked left and right, then took off his hood, and then simply took off his black cloak and threw it to the ground.

The man's long, platinum-blond hair shimmered in the darkness.

…… Lucius Malfoy!

Willow Spring hadn't decided whether to take him down first—because his combat power in the Death Eaters wasn't low, and the others wouldn't be able to take advantage of it even if they attacked Cirith, and if they let Lucius go and try to get Bellatrix first, then Siris would be spared the fate of falling to that mysterious curtain tonight!

She hesitated for only a few seconds before deciding: yes.

She jerked off the illusion and mute spells on herself. Almost at the same time, Lucius Malfoy, who sensed this inexplicable killing intent, suddenly turned around.

His face turned pale for a moment, and he quickly drew his wand—but Willow Springs' movements were quicker.

"Faint!"

"Shadowless!"

A barrage of attack spells flowed from the tip of the red-haired woman's wand in front of him. Lucius lost the opportunity and could only dodge and resist left and right, and was actually a little embarrassed for a while.

But he was also a former Slytherin prefect after all—a position that was not given to him by his bloodline, family background, and money alone—and he quickly calmed down, fending off the increasingly ferocious attacks of the Gryffindor flowers in front of him, and finally found a gap, and he didn't know what spell he had uttered, and the tip of his staff slammed into a glow of green, and the light seemed to come to life, and the viper roamed around the dark hall.

Soon Willow Springs' voices the sound of stray footsteps behind them—and she didn't dare to risk blindly optimistic assumptions that someone was a backup for the Order of the Phoenix. So she took two steps back, slowing down her attack on Lucius for the time being, trying to free up a little energy to discern who it was.

But her doubts were soon answered.

"Be careful!" she heard a loud roar, followed by a spell: "Pass out!"

She jerked back to find a Death Eater behind her in a forward position, slamming at her feet.

As the Death Eater fell to the ground, the thin but still handsome face of Cialis Black behind him was revealed. Today he wears a velvet-striped suit, neat and straight, with slightly long curly hair that falls obediently to the side of his face. Seeing her surprised expression, he smiled and winked at her.

"Good evening, Lily. He greeted her with a casual smile on his face, and stood beside her, his wand pointed at Lucius Malfoy.

Lucius saw the opportunity quickly, he could bend and stretch, and when he saw that there was a new force coming from the Order of the Phoenix, he didn't dwell too much, and suddenly his whole body turned into a blue-white light, and he didn't know which entrance and exit he entered, and he was gone.

Ciris didn't want to let him go like that, and yelled in the direction where Lucius disappeared: "Coward!!"

He was about to chase, but Liu Quan immediately grabbed his left arm and stopped him.

Siris turned his head in surprise, his gaze falling to the hand that Liu Quan was holding him, and smiled at the corner of his lips.

"I'm flattered by your enthusiasm, Lily. He exaggerated in a pompous tone.

Liu Quan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Oh come on, can't you be serious at this time, Siris!"

Siris grinned at her.

"I know you're anxious about Harry, but have some faith in them, Lily. He's James' son. "And, in my opinion, he's as good as his father!"

Liu Quan almost rolled his eyes again.

"In terms of trouble-making physique, both of them are really outstanding. She couldn't help but complain casually, and swallowed the next sentence with great difficulty, "I'm not too worried about Harry with the aura of the protagonist, I'm worried about your life or death".

Siris smiled again, but didn't answer.

Liu Quan felt a little strange, turned his head to look at him, and only then did he notice that although he spoke so easily and freely, the expression on his face was slightly tight, far from being as confident as his tone.

I'm still worried about Harry. This is also normal. She thought.

But what she had to do next was a little tricky...... How can a man who has lost his best friend because of his mistakes, who has been alone in an unimaginable horror prison for more than ten years as if he was atoning for his sins, and who is now eager to find all the trust, warmth and care that he has lost in his family, and at the same time generously give back these beautiful feelings to the other party, and pull away from this dangerous and dark ghost place before he sees with his own eyes that his only family is safe and sound?!

…… It's an impossible task. She thought to herself with a sigh as she and Siris back-to-back, intently guarding the direction she was facing, as they walked deeper into the dark hall.
