When Maca saw the flames burst out of the building in the distance, he immediately reacted - it was the Woolworths Building, the seat of the Magical Congress of the United States.

Unlike the British Ministry of Magic, the United States did not hide their head apparatus underground. Although they have also disguised the location of the organization, several relocations have made their cover-up seem a bit full of loopholes.

"Have all the Silent gone to the Magic Congress?" Maca shook her head, "But I'm not qualified to say that, isn't there a Death Eater hidden in the British Ministry of Magic?" ”

At the moment, he didn't have the heart to meddle with other people's affairs, and needless to say, he didn't delay any longer, and immediately turned around and went into the entrance of Jackson Square.

This time, it was not unexpected, and in the somewhat guarded west side of Jackson Plaza, he entered the shack and saw the figures he was looking for.

"Oh! It's Mr. McLean! Abigail, who opened the door for him, immediately urged, "Come in, come in first, and talk about the rest of ......."

After Maca staggered past her and entered the house, Abigailton quickly closed the door to the shack. There were wizards patrolling outside day and night for the past two days, and she didn't want people to see so many people hiding inside.

"Honestly, we can't hide anymore......" she said to Maka in a whisper, "we were just talking about where else to go!" ”

"No need to discuss, everyone, come with me to England immediately!" Without saying a word, Maca pulled out some sort of piece of cloth that he had made into a portkey, "This is the portkey positioned in front of the main entrance of Hogwarts." ”

"I know everything," Sirius, who was half-leaning against a pile of barrels, looked at Maca with a strange look, "but why ......?"

"Of course, it's easy to hide," Maca said rightly, "and if I hadn't said it, who would have thought it was a portkey?" ”

He paused, then continued, "Alright, hurry! Everybody's gathered here, we're leaving—"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped.

"The boy...... Well...... What about Joshua? ”

Maca looked around the small shack, where none of the children he had brought out of the dungeon landed, but he didn't find the big boy who always looked timid.

When he asked, the children's expressions were a little gloomy.

“…… We don't know exactly what to do," Sirius said with a frown, "but he must have had an accident on his way back here." ”

"'Back here'?" Maca repeated in confusion.

"Yes," Sirius said, nodding, "it would be appropriate for you to ask these children directly, he was missing before we got here, but we picked this up on the path in front of us." ”

As he spoke, he gestured to the small round table in the middle. On the small tabletop, there was a broken cake.

"What's going on?" Makadam even looked at the children.

The children were mostly silent, but almost all eyes were on one of the little boys. When Maca saw this, she also set her eyes on him.

“…… Sir," the little boy said, "yes...... I'm sorry, it's ...... I am not good. ”

"No need to apologize, let's talk about what happened first." Maca said calmly.

After that, the little boy's words gave Maca a rough idea of what was going on.

Actually, it's very simple - yesterday was the little boy's birthday. Even though he wasn't very old, he knew that now was not the time to care about this.

But sometimes, it's hard to suppress emotions, not to mention that he's just a young child. In a depressed mood, he couldn't help crying.

Joshua, who had never known how to interact with people, was a little overwhelmed by the fact that he was the oldest person here, and he was supposed to be responsible for comforting the children who were younger than him.

But where does he know how to coax children?

Maca did leave a lot of food and water here, but he didn't leave a book to teach others how to coax children.

It's just that just let it cry, it's obviously not like that.

Maybe Joshua was moved by compassion, or maybe he was thinking about his past, or maybe he was afraid that someone would pass by and hear the cry.

Anyway, he agreed to the boy on the spur of the moment to buy him a birthday cake!

So, Joshua, who hesitated repeatedly, finally left the shack alone and ran outside to Jackson Square to find a cake.

And when he left, he was never heard from again.

When Maca heard this, she first glanced at Sirius. It didn't take much thought for him to know that this guy's expression seemed to say - if I hadn't been able to move more, I would have gone to find someone a long time ago.

He swept over a kind of child again, and the anticipation on their faces was almost ready to breathe.

"Alright! I see......" Maca sighed, "you go back with me first, and then I'll come back to him, understand?" ”

Everyone nodded at the same time.

"If you understand, come here!" He urged again, "There are a lot of people, just stretch out your fingers to touch it, hurry up!" ”

Once everyone had gathered in a circle and put their fingers on the portkey, Maca looked at Sirius again. Because Sirius was still very weak, everyone was crouching beside him at this time, and it seemed quite crowded.

"How?" Maca asked, "Can you hold up the portkey's movement...... If it weren't for this emergency, I would have asked you to stay in the United States and recover more! ”

"It's all right," Sirius said decisively, "I can bear this little discomfort." ”

"Well, then-"

As she spoke, Maca activated the portkey, and as the space expanded and contracted, the group of adults and children next to each other suddenly disappeared in the shed in a twist.

……

Almost as Maca and the others crossed the North Atlantic in an instant, there was still chaos in the Woolworths building.

The American Aurors stationed at the headquarters immediately moved as fast as they could, arranging defenses, arranging defenses, and immediately attacking those in charge of pursuit, while the other staff members were also busy moving the wounded people to the infirmary in the building.

As for the place where the incident occurred, that is, Zoe's office, only the head of the Aurors brought someone over and quickly inquired about it, and left in a hurry after leaving one person to guard the place for the time being.

Of course, Zoe didn't know anything, and just like that, she had to be temporarily guarded like a prisoner, obviously feeling a little aggrieved.

“…… Forget it, it's an emergency, after all," she thought helplessly, sitting in her chair, looking at the Auror standing in the doorway, "but it was terrible just now...... I thought I was going to die! Fortunately, the attacker has fled......"

However, she was undoubtedly relieved a little too soon.

Just as she sighed in her heart, there was a muffled grunt from the door, and then she saw the Auror fall to the ground silently, without making a sound.

Immediately after, a wizard wrapped in black robes walked in from outside the broken doorway. Beside the wizard, there were two guys who exuded a gloomy aura all over their bodies.

"Hmph...... Hum...... Little girl......" said the black-robed wizard with a sad smile, "This is the archiving office of the Archives and Records Department, am I right?" ”

"You-"

Zoe was stunned for a moment, and she instantly realized that her Dementor Mind Talent was not good this time.

"Don't ask me who I am," the black-robed wizard scoffed, "just put a stupid question like this in your stomach!" Now, hand me over the minutes of the most important meetings of the near future - and of course, don't miss out on the most important Auror set-up documents! ”

"We don't have that stuff here." Zoe replied in a trembling voice.

"Really?" The black-robed wizard snorted coldly, "Are you sure? ”

He walked towards Zoe step by step, ignoring that Zoe had already curled up in his chair, and almost came to the other party.

"Back then, since Lord Greenwald had been lurking in the Auror office for so long, these documents had been hidden here...... You think I'm going to know? ”

The old, cold voice went straight to Zoe's ears, and the inexplicable sense of danger made the cold hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.

"No, it's really ...... There really isn't ......" Zoe said with a shrunken neck, "The head of the Legal Enforcement Department has already been here just now - he took all the important materials with him. ”

"Huh?" The black-robed wizard's face hidden in the hood showed a hint of hesitation, he squinted at Zoe's expression, and after a moment he snorted heavily, "If that's the case, then ......"

He straightened up, flicked the sleeves of his long robe, and reached out and drew his wand.

"Regent!"

The black-robed wizard cast a spell with great decisiveness, trying to read Zoe's memories directly. But in the next second, he couldn't help but change his complexion.

"Occlumency?" He glared at Zoe and said, "Lift your brain occlusion!" Immediately! ”

"No, I didn't—" Zoe said, shaking her head vigorously and hastily, "I won't do that...... I'm born......"

The black-robed wizard glared coldly at Zoe and waved his hand impatiently.

"Really? Born? He said fiercely, "Interesting! What a funny joke—"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly turned and walked out the door, waving to the two men who were following him with a little annoyance.

"Take it away!" The black-robed wizard commanded, "Bring this woman, and the damned Auror on the ground, bring it to me!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zoe felt a black mist in front of her, and she lost consciousness in an instant.
