"Is this true? Albus Dumbledore, the chief wizard of the Wizengamot Wizarding Order, declared that we were at war?" Inside Hogsmeade's Hogsmeade Pig's Head Bar, wizards watched in shock at the front page of the Daily Prophet.

Huge photos of Albus Dundon's event, ever-changing headlines, and a photo of a female reporter with tortoiseshell eyes scratching her head in the lower right corner — that's what the Daily Prophet headline is about.

"It's a little strange that the Daily Prophet would publish such news this time. A wizard wearing a dark green cloak handed the newspaper to the witch opposite, with a flattering smile on his face.

"It turned out to be her, Rita Skeeter. This witch is a journalist who will do anything for the sake of journalism. I think if she can get the Fudge scandal, she will do everything she can to publish it. The witch said in a beautiful voice.

"I see. Isn't she like a mad dog? Such a wizard is generally not having a good time. It is easy to offend people. The dark green wizard smiled.

"On the contrary, Rita is having a good time. The witch looked at the pictures of Albus Dumbledore in the newspapers, and the triumphant little photo of Rita Skeeter in the corner, "Skeeter is very good at using the resources at her disposal, although she does anything to be famous and news, but she never covets anything, she is very smart." ”

"I see. Bill Parkinson glanced thoughtfully at the newspaper again, took out his wand, and tapped it on the table a few times, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent. "Rowena, I'm not the type of person who is good at talking nonsense, I think you already know the specifics. Bill stared at the blonde woman across from him, his smile disappearing.

"I don't know, Bill. "The witch has always had a cold expression, and it seems that she can't see the pleading and embarrassed expression in the witch's eyes.

"Rowena, I know, you still hate me, but I also have to do it, you know, our family—" Bill tried to explain, but the witch interrupted him, "Parkinson, if you don't have anything else, I think I should leave." Are you still a child? I'm here today just to meet you on behalf of my family. Please figure it out. ”

"Alright, Rowena, I... In short, I'm sorry for you. Seeing that the witch still didn't have any expression, the witch gradually became serious, and waited for a while before saying: "The Parkinson family has decided to agree to the alliance request of the organization Don, and in the near future, they will support the spokesperson of the organization Don in the Wizengamot." This is a joint decision of the family. ”

"Hmph, I know. It can be seen from someone's cowardice that the so-called wizard knight family is nothing more than a coward family. Your decision was not at all unexpected. I know, is there anything else to say?" Rowena sneered, unable to help but sarcastically.

"It's not like you think, the family has family difficulties, and we have to think about things when it comes to organizing Tang. If the Parkinson's family does not cooperate, the consequences may be very serious..."A trace of helplessness flashed in Bill's eyes, as the first batch of small families favored by the organization Tang, the Parkinson's family did not have much room for maneuver at all. The organization Tang crushed the family with absolute strength. If the Parkinson's family does not cooperate, the consequences could be bankruptcy, street life, or even unprovoked death.

"I don't want to hear that from you. Do you think our family is much better off against Gellert Grindelwald's wizarding army? Rowena stood up and prepared to leave.

Bill hurriedly grabbed her. Bill and Rowena used to be lovers, and since Bill was an English wizard and Rowena was a French wizard, the two eventually broke up for various reasons.

The two families are the epitome of thousands of families in wizarding England and continental Europe, respectively, and represent the division of wizarding families in the face of today's chaos.

Many wizards have lost faith in the Ministry of Magic and have turned to protect themselves. Many families, like the Parkinsons' family, have chosen to cooperate with powerful wizard armies or organizations to ensure the safety of the family. This is happening in different locations right now.

When Secretary Fudge saw the Daily Prophet that day, he couldn't believe it. The Ministry of Magic has very strict management of a background newspaper like the Daily Prophet, and the editor-in-chief of this newspaper should be from the Ministry of Magic, how could he allow such news to be published on the front page of the newspaper.

The reason is simple, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet has fallen to other forces in the shadows, and he is no longer loyal to the Ministry of Magic and Minister Fudge.

"Umbridge, now take some people to the Daily Prophet and tell them to stop selling today's papers, and immediately take them down and publish a statement of correction! What do they want to do? Are they ready to overthrow the Ministry of Magic?!" Minister Fudge summoned his most important confidant, Deputy Secretary Dolores Umbridge, to the newspaper office and take coercive measures.

Umbridge wanted to tell the Minister that if he did this now, not only would he not reduce the impact of this matter, but would attract the attention of ordinary wizards even more because of the minister's overreaction.

But seeing Fudge's thunderous appearance, the Deputy Minister finally chose to remain silent, nodded with the care of a cat, and went to the headquarters of the Daily Prophet with some Aurors.

After the deputy minister left, Fudge sat alone in the minister's office. He looked up at the portraits of the ministers on the wall, who were looking at him boredly.

"As I said a long time ago, Albus Dumbledore is simply not credible. How can there be a principal who doesn't want to be a minister? If you had listened to me earlier, had more henchmen at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and put pressure on Albus Dumbledore through the Malfoys family to control the school's board of trustees, things would have come to this point?" Radoforce Lestrange, the crazy minister, began to babble again.

"What's the use of what you're saying now? You might as well think of something better. For example, arrange a few people to teach the disobedient Albus Dumbledore. Perseus Parkinson, another portrait says.

"Okay, can you be quiet for a while, I really don't know how the former ministers put up with you, they can think in such an environment?" Fudge growled. He tried to get rid of the portraits, but they were under an eternal spell and could not be taken down.

"You see, he's throwing tantrums again. It's really the least calm minister I've ever met. The portrait of Perseus Parkinson says to the portrait of Ladorfous Lestrange.

"I share your opinion on this point. We don't want to stay in this room every day, magic creates us and restricts us, and if the current minister allows it, I'd love to see my other portraits go by. Said the portrait of Ladorfous Lestrange. He looked at Fudge expectantly.

Fudge kept his face strained and didn't look at it, these portraits couldn't leave the minister's office without permission, they knew too much.

Dean was dragged out of the auditorium by his classmates, and many of the students became excited, as if the after-effects of life and death had disappeared. He heard a few young wizards from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the northwest corner of Europe discussing returning to the continent.

Dean is upset, his parents are currently working on the continent and he hasn't heard from an owl in a while. Leaving the auditorium, Dean returned to the common room and pulled out a piece of parchment from his homework, he was going to write a letter to his parents about today's events, telling them to be careful.

"Hey, Dean, you're going to write home too? I can't believe it. It all came so fast. Seamus sat next to Dean.

"yes. I think the principal is going a little too far. Dean said in a low voice.

"I don't think so. The headmaster is also preparing for us. By the time the Death Eaters attacked Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, we realized that wasn't too late, and the better we prepared, the easier it would be for us to win. I'd like to learn a little bit about the real thing. I've heard that the professors will be teaching some powerful spells next, including Patronus Charms, Armor Protection, and Fighting Spells. Don't you think that's cool?" said Seamus expectantly, as if he had mastered so many powerful spells.

"Come on, Seamus. Don't you remember the first time you learned the Levitation Charm? You've messed up such simple spells, and I don't know what could go wrong if you practiced those powerful spells. Di Ji said with palpitations.

"Isn't that because I'm new to spells? No one is a natural first-rate wizard, and now I can easily cast a levitation spell, Yuga Dim Leviosa!" Simo waved his wand, and a textbook between the two flew smoothly without any explosion.

Dean smiled and saw Neville enter the common room, "Neville, would you like to write to your grandma and tell her about today?" Neville was roommate with Dean and Seamus, as well as Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.

By this time, the Longbottoms had returned to London. Although he did not appear in public, such days were like a dream for Neville. Neville, who has been shy and introverted since he was a child, suddenly took the initiative a lot like a different person.

"Write a letter? I don't think so. My grandmother kept saying that the Ministry of Magic was dangerous right now and that wizards should fight hard. I think she's been in a very nervous state. There was no need to remind her again. Neville joked. Neville's grandmother had always been strict with him, and since the Longbottoms went crazy, Neville had become the hope of the Longbottoms.

"Haha, maybe. I don't think there are many people who don't agree with the president. Seamus said.

Neville waved to the two of them and walked up the stairs alone, ready to go back to the dorm. During this time, he was in constant contact with his parents, and he also tried to contact Andrew Lee. Neville was well aware of the current predicament of wizarding England, and he knew that the Headmaster was not lying.

At this point, Neville was like asking Andrew when he would be able to get his hands on those secret things. Just as many students fantasize about being heroes, Neville dreams of doing so occasionally.

Back in the dormitory, Harry and Ron were discussing something together. "Harry, you should tell the Headmaster all of this, or at least Professor McGonagall, don't you remember the last time? Voldemort almost got straight into your head. It's definitely not that simple this time, and I think maybe Voldemort is still trying. Ron said to Harry.

It turned out that during the recent attack on the Quidditch pitch, Harry fainted directly after seeing Voldemort. This has never happened before. Voldemort had previously tried to gain access to Harry's mind through the special connection between the Horcruxes, and then directly control Harry. But that time it failed. After that, Harry never felt that Voldemort was trying again. It wasn't until he saw Voldemort again that Harry felt a terrifying scream in his head, and then Harry fainted.

"Ron, it's not that serious. I probably just fainted because I wasn't feeling well. "Harry didn't want to cause trouble to anyone, even though it wasn't really a problem at all.

"Harry, what do you want us to say. You are completely unaware of your own importance. I've heard Fred say that any abnormalities you have should be reported to the professors in a timely manner, and if you don't want to, I can tell my dad as well. At this time, the relationship between Harry and the Weasleys had not yet reached the level of family intimacy. But whether it's Ginny, Ron, or the twins, they all have a crush on Harry.

"That's a lot of trouble. I'll take your suggestion into consideration, Ron. Harry excused.

"Why don't I write to Daddy about your situation and see what he suggests?" Ron suggested.

Harry hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

At this time, in an empty classroom, Halle Black was waiting alone. After a while, a handsome male wizard in a black-haired robe walked in from behind.

"Harley, I need your help to warn Harry Potter that he is in danger and that he should report it to Albus Dumbledore as soon as possible. Sirius, who had returned to his wizard form, said anxiously. During this time, he has been silently paying attention to his godson. In addition to protecting his niece, Bellatrix Lestrange's daughter, Halle Black, Sirius wants to see Porter Jr. the most.

However, Albus Dumbledore had spoken to Sirius, and in his current form, Sirius should not have seen Harry. Sirius is awkward, and if he gets too close to Harry, he will be in danger. So Sirius could only pay attention silently.
