In the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall sat behind her desk, reading the parchment scroll in her hand intently.

Although she has been the de facto administrator of Hogwarts for several years, there are some things that only the Headmaster has permission to know, such as the use of Apparition in Hogwarts Castle and other privileges, that can only be accessed by her for generations after she has done so at this desk.

After a long time, Professor McGonagall put down the parchment in her hand, rubbed her brow, and picked up the teacup beside her.

After half a cup of tea, McGonagall turned to look at the portraits of the principals on the wall of her office, yawning or chatting with her.

Eventually, Professor McGonagall stopped her gaze on the portrait of Dumbledore, but the old Deng had been dozing off, and she couldn't wake up the old friend she had worked with for decades.

Looking at the portrait of Old Deng asleep, Professor McGonagall recalled the decades she had known Dumbledore.

As a student, Dumbledore was McGonagall's Head of School and Professor of Transfiguration. It was Dumbledore who discovered her talent for Transfiguration, and she became an Animagus under Dumbledore's tutelage.

After graduating and working for the Ministry of Magic for two years, after a failed relationship and a lot of things, McGonagall sent a cover letter to Hogwarts, and then Dumbledore hired her.

After working at Hogwarts for several years, McGonagall received a letter from her mother stating that her first love was married. That night, Dumbledore found McGonagall crying in her classroom, and McGonagall told him the whole story. Dumbledore comforted her and told her some stories about his family. Since then, the two have established a relationship of mutual trust.

While Professor McGonagall was remembering his old friend, two loud noises rang out in the principal's office, and then two figures suddenly appeared in the office and fell to the ground.

"Where is this?" A deep man's voice shouted, "Cedric, are you there?" ”

"I'm being held down by you, Minister!" Cedric's voice came from beneath Scrimgeour's ass.

"Oh my God!" Professor McGonagall, wand in hand, shouted incredulously, "Your Excellency, Cedric, why are you here?" ”

"McGonagall?" Scrimgeur, who was pulling up Cedric, asked suspiciously, "Where is this?" Is it safe? ”

"This is the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall replied that she didn't think she needed to answer the question of safety or not.

At this point, Scrimgeour recognized the place, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained to Professor McGonagall, "The mysterious man led the Death Eaters to capture the Ministry of Magic, and Cedric fled here with me. ”

After hearing the news, not only Professor McGonagall, but even the headmasters on the wall were taken aback, only Lao Deng had been sleeping in the portrait.

Scrimgeour then continued, "I remember Dumbledore had a plan for Hogwarts in the past to deal with such a situation, as if the name of the plan was 'Cockroach Heap'. ”

At this time, Dumbledore, who had been dozing off in the painting hanging on the wall, suddenly opened his eyes, and then shouted loudly: "The box at the bottom of the bookcase!" ”

Professor McGonagall immediately walked over to the bookcase, opened it, and found a small box underneath the pile of old books at the bottom.

After removing the box and placing it on her desk, Professor McGonagall found that the box was locked, and the line "Meow" was written on the lid.

Professor McGonagall looked at the box, and then at Deng, who had fallen asleep again in the painting, and made a note on someone in the little black book in his mind.

At this point, Scrimgeour said to Professor McGonagall, "I need to go to Hogsmeade, Cedric, you stay here for now, and keep in touch at all times." ”

With that, Scrimgeour left the Headmaster's office, and Professor McGonagall decided to send Cedric away as a liaison before opening the box.

"Can you tell us about the current situation?" Professor McGonagall asked, "How did you and Scrimgeour get here?" ”

Compared to Dumbledore's previous plans, Professor McGonagall now needs to understand the current situation.

Cedric sat down in his chair at his desk, organized his language, and said, "I'd better answer the second question first." ”

"When I was at Hogwarts and was participating in the Triwizard Tournament, Dumbledore and Chang were afraid that we two Hogwarts Warriors would be in mortal danger, so they made insole doorkeys for the two of us to escape."

"Before the third game, Zhang gave me the portkey through Qiu. I didn't use it at the time, but Dumbledore said I might be able to use it later, so I kept it with me. I didn't expect to use it today, and I also saved the minister. ”

Professor McGonagall nodded, this matter was indeed very much in line with Dumbledore and Zhang Xu's usual style of planning for a rainy day. And how Harry ran back after being overshadowed that year, she also knows.

"What about the Ministry of Magic?" Professor McGonagall asked.

Cedric's soul trembled again, and then he said with a sigh of relief: "Earlier, the mysterious man came out of the fireplace in the hall with an unknown number of Death Eaters, and then forcibly attacked the Ministry of Magic. At that time, the mysterious man personally led the Death Eaters towards the minister's office, and after the minister arranged for the various departments to initiate an emergency evacuation plan, the mysterious man had already arrived at the door of the office and blocked the two of us in the office. Later, when the mysterious man finished talking nonsense and was about to make a move on the minister, I suddenly activated the portkey with the minister. ”

"According to the 'generator' plan we have made in advance, when the mysterious people start attacking the Ministry of Magic, if we have difficulty stopping it, then we will immediately arrange for the personnel of each department to be evacuated to Hogsmeade, and the Ministry of Magic will resume normal work there."

"Fortunately, today is the weekend, there are only a few people in the ministry working, and the whole evacuation operation is going well."

Professor McGonagall, who knew the general situation, pondered for a moment, and then said to Cedric, "Mr. Diggory, please go to the kitchen and find Dobby, and let him quietly tell the professors at Hogwarts to return to Hogwarts immediately." ”

There are three people living in Hogwarts during the summer vacation, in addition to Professor McGonagall herself, Hagrid who lives on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and an old man who no longer cares about grievances at Dumbledore's grave. Professor Sprout, on the other hand, occasionally comes back to look at the plants in the greenhouse.

Just as Cedric got up and turned to leave the headmaster's office, there was another loud bang in the office, and a young girl he had never seen before appeared in front of him.
