During Voldemort's first reign, the Vanishing Cabinet was a very valuable magic item that allowed wizards to disappear for a while. It is no longer known who was the first to use this magic item at that time. When the Death Eaters attacked, it was a very effective magic item that could hide in such a magic item and disappear for a while.

One of the biggest drawbacks of the Vanishing Cabinet is that it is not possible to determine the location of the vanishing or the length of time it will disappear, and when you hide in the vanishing cabinet and use the vanishing spell, it will disappear. This disappearance occurs completely randomly, and sometimes even – forever. Prior to the advent of the Vanishing Cabinet in pairs, this item had a fixed spell attached to it, more like a mischievous power-up than a life-saving item.

With such a flaw, the Vanishing Cabinet was not very popular at the time, and generally only those wizarding families with squibs or other special groups of people would spend a lot of money to buy such a prop. Later in Voldemort's first reign, the Death Eaters had already discovered the item, and their usual course of action was simple - destroy the Vanishing Cabinet with the "Split" spell so that those who were hidden would be banished forever in the cracks of space.

Later, some clever wizards invented pairs of vanishing cabinets. This kind of thing is actually very similar to Floo Net, the only good thing is that the Vanishing Cabinet can be used by anyone, and for those Squibs and low-powered wizards who are hunted by the Death Eaters, when Phantom Shifter or Floo Net can't help them, the Vanishing Cabinet becomes the only life-saving magic item.

With Harry Potter's miraculous defeat of Lord Voldemort, the Death Eaters disappeared overnight. Fear, while it can establish effective long-term rule, is incomparably fragile. If Voldemort had maintained his magical power, the Death Eaters might have been able to build a monstrous magical dynasty. Unfortunately, Voldemort had a major accident in the Valley of the High Cenker and lost his entire body. Only a remnant soul remains, wandering in the corners of the world.

"With the end of Voldemort's reign, this magic item gradually disappeared. Very few families now still have such a vanishing cabinet. However, the vanishing magic is too volatile, and in general, Apparition or Portkey is much better than that one. Little Barty looked at Xie An suspiciously, and Xie An was also thinking about this question.

"The portkey can be set to be triggered, and it will activate whenever a wizard touches it, and in general, whether it is a Muggle or a wizard, as long as the conditions are met, the portkey can be activated normally. The Vanishing Cabinet requires the wizard to hide inside before it can be activated. With these two magic items, it seems that the portkey is better. Xie An read Count Li's letter again and confirmed several key points.

Count Lee's letter mentions the message in more detail than Barty Jr., thanks to Count Lee's current position in the Ministry of Magic. Earl Lee now has his own source channel. The information now collected is faster and faster.

"yes, it's a bit of a fuss to attack a shop with a dozen wizards just to find such a magic item. You might be able to buy it at the right price. "Since the Borgin Burke store has that thing in the store, it must be for sale.

Speaking of which, this thing has some connection with the Malfoy family, which is passed down from the ancestors of the Malfoy family, and when he was a child, Draco Malfoy once heard a horror story about this magic prop--- and if you don't obey, he will throw you into the cabinet and make you disappear or something.

Before the two could discuss the outcome, another owl flew into the house, the gray owl seemed to be the public owl of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Xie An took a note from the owl's leg.

"Andrew, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore has returned to the school and asked all students to return to Hogwarts Castle, he has something important to announce. "It's signed by Hallie Black.

Xie An frowned slightly, Lord Albus Dumbledore finally reappeared, but he didn't know what important things he had. Cho and Hermione were still sleeping in the castle and seemed to have to inform them.

After waking up the Qiu people from the black and sweet dream of life and death, these people were extremely dizzy. But now I have to return to the castle, otherwise the professors will find that I have disappeared without a trace, and maybe there will be trouble.

After the rendezvous, we returned to the castle from the Hogsmeade Secret Passage, which was filled with sleepy students, and the professors and prefects were handing out a strange potion that was said to be effective for the after-effects of the Water of Life and Death. Xie An asked, the onion that tasted like rot.

Everyone gathered again in the castle hall, where the bonfire on the wall burned brightly, and the smell of mint and rotten onions filled the air. The enchanted ceiling was a clear night sky, and hundreds of candles brought great light.

The staff desk was filled with professors and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry staff, and even Hagrid, the half-blood giant who hadn't been seen in a long time, stood at the back. Shea Ann saw that some of the professors were injured, and Madam Pomfrey, the school doctor, was helping some of the professors deal with bleeding wounds.

Professor Minerva McGonagall sat to the left of the rector's seat, and Albus Dumbledore was bowing her head slightly, as if in deep thought. His all-white hair ran from under the peaked wizard's hat, and his gray wizard's robes were a little wrinkled, but very clean.

Several entrances to the auditorium were filled with fresh faces, and Xie An guessed that they were all Aurors. Dressed in dragonskin wizard robes and wands clenched in their hands, these Aurors looked at the bustling children with expressionless faces.

Severus Snape stepped out of a corner door, silver goblet in hand. He walked quickly to the headmaster and handed the silver cup to Albus Dumbledore.

Albus Dumbledore looked at Severus Snape in surprise as if he had just woken up, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, took the silver cup from Severus Snape's hand, and slowly drank all the liquid in the cup.

His pale face was slightly better. Professor Minerva McGonagall looked at the Headmaster worriedly, "Albus, don't you really need to take another break?"

"Minerva, we don't have much time, it's really running out. I'm just a little bit out of strength, and it's not a big deal. After drinking Severus Snape's dragon blood potion, I felt much better, not only did my magic recover a lot, but I also seemed to feel better. Albus Dumbledore smiled gently.

"Headmaster, I have to warn you that although the dragon's blood potion can quickly restore mana, it is a squeeze on the potential of the wizard itself. The side effects of this medicine include life overdraft, if it is these children in the audience, they drink some of this before the exam, maybe they can save them from failing the course, but for a body like you, drinking this medicine is no different from suicide. And your injuries seem...."Severus Snape's facial expression was a little dull due to his long-term use of Occlumency, and even though he said such a solemn warning, he still didn't look like he had any expression.

"Oh, Severus, I see what you mean!" Albus Dumbledore interrupted Professor Severus Snape to explain further, "I will seriously consider your suggestion. But we obviously have other, more important things to attend to, don't we?"

"I've heard that Voldemort and some other unidentified wizards attacked and took control of Hogwarts. The wrinkles on Albus Dumbledore's face quickly swallowed up a gentle smile and replaced it with an immensely cold one. Hogwarts is the most important thing about Albus Dundedor. He is the headmaster here, and he has an obligation and responsibility to protect this place.

Voldemort had visited Hogwarts several times in the hope of becoming a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts here, but Albus Dumbledore turned him down, so Voldemort cursed the position that anyone who became a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry would not be able to hold this position for long.

Albus Dumbledore did not welcome Voldemort, and even during Voldemort's first rise to power, Voldemort did not reach into Hogwarts Castle. Unexpectedly, this time there was such a situation, Voldemort actually swaggered into Hogwarts.

This was a complete failure for Albus Dumbledore. No matter how much he has done to maintain the stability of the current wizarding Britain, no matter how delicately he has struck a balance in the Wizengamot, the Hogwarts Castle crisis is what he should be most responsible for.

The Hogwarts Board of Trustees had every reason to change the Headmaster if Albus Dumbledore had made a mistake. The Malfoys, as board members, have long shown dissatisfaction with Albus Dumbledore. There have already been a number of directors who have tactfully criticized Albus Dumbledore, hoping that Albus Dumbledore will spend more time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Even Minister Fudge, after hearing that the Tournament was in serious trouble in the East China Sea region of the Far East, began to realize that Albus Dumbledore could not give up his protection of Hogwarts.

Seeing that the students were almost all in line, Albus Dumbledore stood up, faced everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Students, I think you have just had an extremely painful day today. ”

“... You've seen for yourself the power of the dark arts, the players who have been controlled by the Imperius Curse, the powerful ones who have been killed by the powerful dark arts, who have harmed their fellow citizens... You have never experienced such a hurt, and it will be your nightmare for a long time. As much as I would love to make you forget all this and try to move forward, I have to remind you bitterly.... Darkness has fallen, and we have no choice but to fight..."

“... The Ministry of Magic doesn't want me to tell you the truth, they are afraid that you will not be able to bear such a terrible situation, and they will choose to escape.... We can only insist that Wizarding Britain is under unprecedented attack... Gringotts, the Ministry of Magic, Tumbledown Alley, and our castle. No one can protect us all the time but ourselves..."

"The Wizarding Army has occupied most of the European continent by this time, and the Bubaston students and Durmstrang are in danger...."

"You are all good boys, and the killing and hatred should not have been imposed on you... I implore you to think hard about the meaning of 'protection', and I ask you to be courageous in accordance with the true meaning of justice..."

"As the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I declare a state of emergency at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and you will be divided into small groups, led by the elected group leaders, and train hard to gain the ability to protect yourself..."

As Albus Dumbledore's deep voice resounded through the hall, all the students buzzed in their heads as if they had been struck by the Immobilization Charm.

As Fudge has always insisted, the public media Daily Prophet has been positive and harmonious in its coverage of the current form, never saying that Wizarding Britain is in ruins. Many young wizards don't know anything other than the terrorist attack at the last Quidditch World Cup.

Although wizards also have other sources of information, such as magic radio, The Owl Post, Singing Contrarian, etc. You can't wake up people who are pretending to be asleep. The wizards simply didn't want to believe that their powerful country had become like this in the blink of an eye.

Professor Minerva McGonagall seemed to be taken aback by what Headmaster Albus Dumbledore said. As the vice-principal, she certainly knew better, but she didn't think deeply.

Flitwick hung his head down, his diminutive body almost hidden under the table, Professor Sprout beside him with a tense face and an expressionless gaze at the air in front of him, as if something interesting was there.

Severus Snape looked coldly at the frightened students below, and he noticed that even the Slytherin students looked stunned. Most Death Eaters came from Slytherin, but at this time Wizarding England was far from being a Death Eater in the face of its enemies. There are already rumors in Slytherin that Lord Voldemort has taken refuge in Gellert Grindelwald and become the general of the wizarding army!

Anxiety and fear are transmitted among the students. The Gryffindors looked confused and didn't know what to do. The Ravenclaws remained calm, but they also saw fear in each other's faces. The Hufflepuffs had different expressions, the youngest of them pale, their legs shaking.

The Bubaston and Durmstrang students mentioned in Albus Dumbledore's speech were shocked and confused.

"Headmaster, is there going to be war?" Ginny Weasley said quietly, but inside the quiet auditorium, it was like thunder.

All wizards, including the Aurors, looked to Albus Dundedor. Waiting for an answer from the chief wizard of the Wizengamot.

"Albus!" Professor McGonagall suddenly whispered to the Headmaster, her eyes full of nervousness and shock. If the truth were to be announced at this time, it would undoubtedly be an open defiance of Secretary Fudge. And with Albus Dumbledore's prestige, this news will be known to the entire wizarding Britain tomorrow, even the European wizarding world opposite. At that point, what will be the situation of Minister Fudge - Albus Dumbledore publicly accuses Secretary Fudge of lying - what will Fudge think of Albus Dumbledore's actions at this time, and what will Fudge do?!

Professor Minerva McGonagall wants to redeem Albus Dumbledore's madness at this time. Albus Dumbledore looked at Professor McGonagall and said in a low and gentle voice, "Minerva, there was a child who said I was too impulsive, and I didn't realize it at the time, but now it seems that I do have some impulsive qualities. ”

There was a conversation between the Headmaster and Xie An, and during that conversation, Xie An bluntly accused Albus Dumbledore of being too impulsive.

After whispering, Albus Dumbledore turned to all the wizards again and said firmly and slowly, "Yes, wizarding Britain is currently at war!"
