What Ryan didn't expect was that he thought that he only needed to stay here for a day or two, and Professor Dumbledore would be able to solve all the problems and send someone to replace them. It turned out to be three days and three days, and it wasn't until one morning, a week later, that a five-man team led by Moody arrived to replace Ryan.

"Sorry to keep you waiting here a little longer, but now we've finally put together a team to take your place. You can go back to school now, and leave it to us here. After seeing Ryan, Moody said, "By the way, Professor Dumbledore is waiting for you in the headmaster's office of the school, he seems to have something to tell you. ”

"Okay, I'll tell you how to use these new magical defense systems. Then Hermione and I went back to school together. After explaining everything, Ryan and Hermione apparition left the hall. Before leaving, they saw the smiling faces of the guards of Azkaban, presumably they had received the news that their loved ones were safe.

With a soft snap, Ryan and Hermione appeared outside Hogsmeade. In the case of war, it is more appropriate to hide some things as much as possible, because one more day of hiding will give you an advantage of one more day.

"What the hell is going on, why did everyone come to Hogsmeade?" Hermione looked around with some strange eyes. There are now many colorful tents set up outside the town of Hogsmeade, and there are many wizards walking around in the middle of the tents. It looks the same as it did at the Quidditch World Cup. If you want to say that the biggest difference from the World Cup that year, it can only be said that everyone's face is not a smile, but a sad face.

After following that path through Hogsmeade. Ryan noticed that many of the people living in the tents could be classified as old, weak, sick and disabled, and not as Dumbledore had been.

"Maybe everyone came here to seek refuge from Professor Dumbledore, it seems that the British wizarding world is indeed in chaos. With this in mind, Ryan and Hermione arrived at the gates of Hogwarts. Now the gate is closed, and there is a group of people patrolling inside.

"Ryan, are you back?" After seeing Ryan and the others standing in the doorway, the patrolling wizard came over, led by Percy Weasley. He came over and helped open the doors of the school.

"You've done a great job, we've all heard from Hogwarts Light. Percy said with some excitement. "Come on in, by the way, Headmaster Dumbledore told you to go to his office as soon as you get back. ”

"Thank you, Moody's has informed us of the news, and we'll go over now. Ryan nodded to Percy and followed the path to the castle.

It was class time, and it was quiet in the hallway. As soon as Ryan remembered that Dumbledore hadn't told them what the password was for the day, the two monsters at the door of the office automatically jumped in both directions, and then the stairs slowly swirled upward.

Ascending the stairs to the oak door, the bronze handle on the door spun automatically. The door opened, and a tired-looking Professor Dumbledore was sitting looking at a document, looking up when he heard the door crack.

"Ah, it's Ryan and Hermione. You've been busy this week, so now sit here and take a break and get some food, and I'll talk to you when I'm done with the paperwork at hand. ”

With a wave of his wand, two comfortable armchairs and a small coffee table appeared in the principal's office. On the coffee table in the middle of the armchair is a large silver plate with a variety of snacks, a teapot with hot black tea, and two teacups.

Ryan and Hermione sat down and ate and drank unceremoniously, they came over directly when Moody came to change shifts today, which caused them to not eat breakfast at all.

By the time he had eaten almost finished his meal, Professor Dumbledore had finished the task at hand. He looked at the plate that was almost empty and asked, "Isn't the food in Azkaban terrible?"

"Thanks, no need. We're already full. Ryan said after drinking the rest of the tea in the cup. "In the past, when there were Dementors, these wizarding guards needed to keep their morale up with food and entertainment, so the food in Azkaban was actually similar to that of Hogwarts. We were so hungry only because we had not eaten early this morning after patrolling on duty last night and were told to return. ”

"I'm really sorry, Ryan. Let you come to me when you are hungry and tired. Dumbledore said apologetically. "But we have to cherish every minute of the situation because it is getting worse. ”

"I understand. Ryan nodded. "When I was in Azkaban, I listened to wizarding radio in London on that radio, such as the Muggle Birth Registration Board, such as you and Lady Bones being wanted—"

"Yes, yes. Dumbledore nodded. "But that's not the worst of all, the worse news is that Voldemort and his henchmen now have complete control over more than 90% of the magic materials production and trade in London and Diagon Alley and all of the United Kingdom, and I even have to put in place a rationing system to make sure everyone has enough potions to use when the students are in Potions class. ”

"You're the greatest white wizard, how can you be like this?" asked Hermione, puzzled.

"Actually, it makes sense. Dumbledore spread his hands, "Most of the magic farms and alchemy material production plants in Britain belong to those pure-blood families, and now they have fallen to Voldemort, which will naturally cut off our supply." ”

Speaking of which, Dumbledore looked at Ryan, "And I have to thank you, if you hadn't established your own magical herb plantation and connected to trade with the Celestial Empire in advance, we probably wouldn't have even the remaining 10%." ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do. "But I really don't understand how this can be the case, when everything was normal the morning we came to school." ”

"It's all because I, an old man, was overly optimistic because of my experience and self-confidence. Dundedo smiled wryly. "I thought my deterrence and Scrimgeour's abilities should be able to deter the guys who were about to move. As a result, I didn't expect the Death Eaters to penetrate so deeply into the Ministry of Magic, and the control of the Ministry of Magic changed in a hurry, and I only had time to rein in the exiles who escaped. ”

Ryan finally understood what was going on this time. Headmaster Dumbledore was not unprepared, and he might even plan to use Voldemort's attack on the Ministry of Magic to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic to flank Voldemort back and forth.

At least in the conflict at the end of last semester, even Voldemort personally led the Ministry of Magic for several hours. That's enough time for Dumbledore to gather his men to attack after receiving the news.

However, this time, the situation changed abruptly, and under the control of Nei Ying, Voldemort took out the command core of the Ministry of Magic in an instant. In this case, the scattered Ministry of Magic was naturally unable to resist Voldemort's control.

Not to mention that after the last war, Dumbledore's actions greatly reduced the living space of those pure-blood families. Therefore, after Voldemort attacked the Ministry of Magic, the pure-blood families who actually controlled the Ministry of Magic simply fell to Voldemort neatly, and established a Ministry of Magic belonging to Voldemort in a short period of time. As a result, those who leaned towards Dumbledore would have to flee.

This is the fundamental reason why the situation is now in such a state of collapse. The rapid fall of the Ministry of Magic has exposed a series of problems. It took a full week for Dumbledore's side to figure everything out of the chaos and re-establish order.
