"Urgent report! The front line is defeated! ”

In the main hall of the new Ministry of Magic building, figures are shuttling back and forth. And the most eye-catching of them is undoubtedly the Auror who has returned from the battlefield one after another to deliver the latest news.

Yes, if the operation had been smooth, the intelligence from the front would not have been transmitted so frequently. The tired figures that keep coming and going one after another at the moment indicate that the bad news is becoming more and more common.

And the truth is as clear as the first sentence.

"The array of the Clearance Force has collapsed, and Minister Shackle is gathering the remaining forces to assist in the evacuation of the Muggle population and to minimize casualties...... Mr. Lupin, the minister also asked me to convey that the side of Spiral Town must also step up preparations immediately, and I am afraid that the vanguard of the enemy will come soon! ”

"The vanguard?"

"Yes, a group of dark living corpses with shadow-like wings on their backs, to be exact, Charlie Weasley riding a fire dragon couldn't stop them! Judging by their movements, the target should be Spiral's side! ”

……

When the hall of the Ministry of Magic was in a hurry, Hermione and the others, who were still in the underground corridor of the St. Mungo's building, were not yet aware of this.

Since the decision was made to have Harry, the most capable of combat, go to the front line of the battlefield, everyone else has been preparing for war while guarding the observation room.

Needless to say, in the face of this war, they didn't do nothing after entrusting Harry with the support combat mission on the front line. Even if it's just to add one more protective spell to Spiral, right now, everyone has what they can do.

For example, Hermione was now working intently with Luna and Hannah, and the finished Pholcanite slabs had been piled up into a hill.

However, since no one spoke, the slightly dim underground corridor became heavier and colder.

"Ron, it's been almost half an hour, you can go to the Ministry of Magic to take a look!"

Coldly, Hermione glanced at her watch and then said to Ron. And her words were like throwing a stone into the mirror-like lake, and the "goo-dong" broke the tranquility.

At that moment, everyone subconsciously stopped what they were doing and raised their heads one after another.

"Ahh Okay, I'll go. ”

Hearing this, Ron put down his tools for polishing the slate as if he was secretly relieved, and then hurriedly got up and walked to the stairs at the end of the corridor.

The friends all looked at the back of Ron leaving, and when the other party could no longer see the stairs, they lowered their heads wordlessly and went about their own things......

I remember that it had been a while since Harry had set off. Although the friends reached an agreement after careful consideration, they could ...... Harry No, it's still worrying about everyone on the front lines.

The terrible disasters and strength that Helbo has repeatedly demonstrated are really uneasy about the future. Whether the days to come will always be accompanied by unbreathable depression and incomparably difficult struggles, as if even Maca could not make a corresponding guarantee.

"Don't always think about bad things, there's definitely room for things to turn around...... Look! Didn't the professor and his classmates escape the danger on the change in Marca's foresight? So are we...... Most of the survivors of Spiral Town, as well as the original London residents, have survived—"

As if sensing the worries and wavering in the hearts of her partners, Hermione immediately put aside the solemnity that had also gradually settled in her heart, and tried her best to calm everyone.

"yes!" Ginny pursed her lips slightly, "It's not just Maca who is busy for everyone, Lupin, Sirius, Kingsley, Tonks...... Harry...... A lot of people are working hard, aren't they? Even we stayed here to guard the observation room as Maka had instructed...... All of this is believed to be in vain! ”

Perhaps Hermione and Ginny's words had some effect, and everyone's spirits seemed to lift up a little. However, there is still a person who always has a bitter face, and it seems that he is seriously lacking in energy.

When everyone closed their mouths again, trying to concentrate on their work, they saw the figure put the quill in his hand on the ground and leaned against the wall.

"No, that's too long! I need to take a break...... Well, hopefully Ron will bring some good news. ”

Hearing the other party speak, Hannah, who was sitting next to Hermione to help, couldn't help but turn her head to look over.

"Neville, how much have you written?"

"Uh...... Two feet. ”

"I have to work harder!" When Hannah heard this, she cast a sympathetic look at him, "Or ...... I'll write some for you too, right? What's that...... 'Magic Trap Trial Tips'? ”

"No, no, aren't you the worst at writing essays? I'll just do it myself...... What's more, if Maka finds out, maybe a few more feet fine! Oh, seriously, I don't even know how this kind of 'trial experience' can be written at a length of five feet......"

Yes, it was because Neville tried to sneak away to London last time and was caught in a trap set by Maca, which left him with such a scalp-tinging punishment as if it were a joke.

But now, everyone doesn't have the heart to make fun of Neville about it.

"Hmm," Neville said, sighing softly, "Speaking of which, Harry must have gotten permission from Lupin's side, right?" Otherwise, he'd probably be hung upside down in the passage like me......"

"Huh?"

Ginny listened to him and looked at Hermione worriedly.

"Impossible," Hermione shook her head as if she immediately understood the worry in Ginny's eyes, "Since the team to clear the living corpses set out, the frequency of regular reports has also become much higher, if there is a big living person hanging in the passage, how can you not see it?" ”

The decision to leave Harry alone was originally made by Hermione, and she believed that the deliberate decision should be able to win Lupin's approval.

And it turns out that no matter what the process is, Hermione's idea is indeed not wrong.

……

“…… Oh, go check all the precautions again! When Kingsley brings the people back, all the protective magic left behind by Maca will be activated! ”

In the hall of the new Ministry of Magic, Lupin frowned and said:

"Because after that, Spiral Town...... There will be no more people going out. ”
