The scorching flames melted the snow around them, and the snow water flowed to the place where the fire had raged just now, and was quickly heated into water vapor by the hot earth, which then dissipated into the air with the wind.

More and more snow poured into the clearing, and soon, all the heat on the land was taken away by the evaporating water vapor. After a while, all that remained in the clearing was a muddy patch of ash and dirt.

After a few more careful searches in the mud, they soon had a catch.

"There's something here." A Death Eater stepped on something hard near where the figure had fallen. Soon, he picked up a dagger from the ground that had been burned a little deformed.

"This is supposed to be his thing, and the characters on it are kanji." The Death Eater handed the dagger to his companions.

After the dagger swirled around in the hands of several Death Eaters, their captain, Hain Severo, handed the dagger to the Death Eater who found it, and said, "This should be his, wait until you give it to Master McNeill yourself, and we'll look carefully to see if there are anything else." ”

After a careful search, and after confirming that all that was left was ashes, the Death Eaters were certain that the figure had burned along with the weeds.

On the way back to command, a Death Eater cautiously asked his captain, "He should be dead, right?" ”

With a long-lost smile on his face, Hain Severo replied, "Unless he can turn himself to ashes, he will surely be burned to death." ”

"Now Captain, you have made a great contribution." Another Death Eater said, "If you hadn't seen his tricks hiding in the grass, we might have been the victim of his plot." ”

"After all, even if you use the levitation charm, there will be traces when you lie on the snow after wearing the invisibility cloak." Hain Sefreo sneered and said, "If it is a messy meadow, because the weeds before have been crushed by the snow and blown by the wind, it is already crooked, but it is not easy to see. ”

At this time, Hain Severo thought to himself that when Lao Tzu escaped from the Aurors of the German Ministry of Magic, he almost fell into this point.

He still clearly remembers how humiliated and angry he felt in his heart that day when his childhood goddess brought Zhang to his bedside.

Just today, this humiliation and anger turned into smoke along with the figures in the fire.

When McNeill saw that only five of the nine people he had sent out had returned, he was shocked at first. When the five men approached, he laughed himself when he saw that they were all smiling.

"He was burned to ashes, and only this one remained." The Death Eater, who picked up the dagger, handed it to McNeil.

McNeill took the blackened dagger and soon discovered the inscription engraved on it.

Unlike the diligent and studious old horse, McNeill was able to fish whenever he could in the labor camp. He can recognize the word "Zhang" on the dagger, and he still relies on the blessing that the instructor loved to watch "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and loved to sing two sentences of Taoyuan Yiyi Peking Opera fragments when he had nothing to do, but he didn't recognize the other words.

However, now that he recognized the word "Zhang", McNeil was sure that the dagger was Zhang Xu's, and he knew that Zhang Xu and the others had a penchant for inscribed their names on the weapons they used.

As for why the dagger was engraved with three words, he McNeill knew the reason why Zhang Fei was called Zhang Yide.

"Severo, you take this dagger yourself and report to the Dark Lord." McNeil handed the dagger to Hain Severo, "We killed Zhang Xu, the acting Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, during the battle in Peak District National Park. ”

Seeing that McNeill had given him the task of reporting the good news to the Dark Lord, Hain Severo hurriedly took the dagger and left happily.

McNeil looked at the remaining four men and said to them with satisfaction, "You have done a good job, and you will definitely not be lost to you for your work." ”

The four Death Eaters were overjoyed and said in unison, "Thank you, Lord McNeill, for cultivating." ”

McNeill smiled and told them to take a break, and then there was a task for them.

At this time, a big stone in his heart finally landed, and when he asked for support from Malfoy and the others around him, he could see that the other people's disdain and distrust of him made the reinforcements arrive for a long time. It wasn't until the Dark Lord gave the order for reinforcements that the others pulled out their personnel and came over slowly.

Now that he has the credit for killing Zhang Xu, even if the Harry Potter in the hotel below is fake, he is not afraid.

It's been a long time coming, and it's the first time that the Death Eaters have killed such an important person.

Voldemort looked at the dagger on the table for a long time, sighed deeply, then stood up and walked to the window, staring out the window at the tree that had been half cut down by lightning.

"You tell the story again, don't miss a single detail." Voldemort said without looking back.

Hain Severo wasn't bothered or confused by the Dark Lord's suspicions, because he knew that the more important things were, the more they needed to be treated with caution. So he repeated for the fifth time the process and various details of the killing of Zhang Xu.

After listening to this account, Voldemort pondered for a long time. Then he turned to the people at the long table and said, "Bella, you go and tell Malfoy that the head of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic is Hain Sefreo from now on, and let the guy who paid for the position get the hell out of me." Then you go and tell the radio station to play the news right away. ”

There wasn't a single customer in Hogsmeade's coffee shop this morning.

At this time, Nelson and Ryan were putting traditional British pastries such as freshly baked scones, finger sandwiches, sponge cakes, mousse cakes, and fruit tarts, as well as crepes, croissants, éclairs, madeleines, macarons, mille-feuille, and Mont Blanc that had just been delivered from France by house-elves.

Hood was behind the counter arranging the cleaned cups, while Ginger and Fish Cakes were lying on the counter overseeing her work.

Wales, who has resigned, has not yet moved out, and she is sitting at a table with a stack of documents studying the pros and cons of several New Zealand ranches.

At this moment, a news break came from the radio in the corner of the counter.

"Zhang Xu, the professor of Hogwarts Muggle Studies, the elite of Dumbledore's lineage, was killed in Peak District National Park this morning by a team led by the new director of the Auror Office, Hain Sefreau. Zhang Xu's body was burned by fire, and a dagger used by Zhang Xu before his death was seized at the scene. ”

No one paid attention to what was coming from behind the radio, and the entire coffee shop fell silent.

Not far away, in the Potions classroom at Hogwarts Castle, Slughorn was patrolling among the sixth-year students refining potions.

He had just prevented a student from making a mistake and avoided an explosion.

When he came to Luna's side, he carefully watched Luna's every move, and then nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, Luna, who was stirring the potion, had a smack in her hand, and then heard a "bang", and a large hole leaked from the bottom of the crucible in front of Luna.

Fortunately, Slughorn used his wand to stop the splashing of hot potion in all directions, allowing him and Luna to avoid the tragedy of being drenched in the potion.

"If Mr. Percy Weasley had continued to work on the thickness of the bottom of the crucible, this would not have happened." Looking at the inferior crucible that Hogwarts didn't know when he bought it, Slughorn shook his head and said, "It looks like all the Hogwarts cauldrons are going to be renewed." ”

In the faculty lounge, Scarlet, who had a lesson in the next class, was teaching Rodney, who was about to sit in on her first class, about to deal with Hogwarts bear children.

Suddenly, the handle of the teacup in front of her suddenly snapped and fell on the table with a "click".

"It's unlucky." Sybil Trelawney, who was sitting across from them, said.

Not long after, Professor McGonagall, whose face was so cold that it was below absolute zero, appeared in the faculty lounge.

She said to Scarlett: "I just got bad news......"

And now the biggest headache is Lucius Malfoy, who has just been summoned back by Voldemort.

He was stunned for a moment after learning that Zhang Xu had been killed, but Voldemort didn't care about it.

It's just that when he saw the dagger that he picked up at the scene, he hesitated whether to tell the Dark Lord what the three words "Zhang Xiaoquan" engraved on this dagger meant.
