The night is low, and the owl flies.

In the pitch-black campus, a silver ball of light suddenly appeared. The next moment, a figure mounted a giant Patronus and hurried in the direction of Hogsmeade after leaving Hogwarts Castle.

None of the students saw this scene, because the students who had been on the night tour tonight had gathered in the basement kitchen.

Tonight, the kitchen belongs to the victors, and it belongs to the Slytherins!

⎩⎭٩(*＾ω＾)(＾ω＾*)۶⎩⎭

The Slytherins cheered and sang, raising their butterbeer and drinking it down to celebrate the Slytherin Quidditch team's long-awaited victory on the Quidditch pitch.

I don't know how many years have passed, but for the first time, the younger students know that their own house can also win Quidditch matches.

The students of Eagle House and Badger House also celebrated their victory with the students of Snake House, and this year Lion House had a defeat at the bottom, and the game between the two houses was a little easier.

The students of the Lion Academy sat helplessly, drinking and sighing, watching the students of the other three houses celebrate their failures. For today's game, they had nothing to say on the surface, and there were some things they didn't want to do, but something like this happened. And after such a thing happened, they couldn't blame the other classmates.

Five minutes before today's Quidditch match, just as the players at the Lion House were lining up to leave the locker room and enter the pitch, Professor McGonagall suddenly appeared in the locker room and took Harry, Ron, and Ginny with him.

Zhang Xu, who was talking nonsense with Luna in the commentary seat at the time, immediately handed the note to Luna after receiving a note asking for a broadcast informing him that the game was delayed for half an hour and that the reserves of the Lion House go to the locker room to concentrate, and then left the commentary seat.

The Pig's Head Bar, which serves as the temporary office of the Ministry of Magic, is still lit up at night.

In a room that served as a conference room, the Minister for Magic, Scrimgeur, sat around a table with almost all the members of the Weasley family in Britain, anxiously waiting for something.

The door to the room was violently pushed open, and Frank Longbottom, the head of the Auror Office, and his predecessor, Percy Weasley, walked in.

Seeing Percy come in, Ginny immediately jumped up from her seat, and she asked Percy, "Percy, is there any news of Mommy?" ”

Percy nodded, then said to the people in the room, "Our Aurors International arranged for an undercover agent in the Death Eaters to report back the location of our mother's detention. ”

"We, the Aurors, have also received the corresponding information." Frank nodded from the side.

At that moment the door of the room was pushed open again, and the sound of the door opening interrupted what Percy and Frank were about to say, and Lupin walked in, saying, "Find out where Mrs. Weasley is." ”

The Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, and they had been waiting for the news of Mrs. Weasley's kidnapping at noon until now, and finally the news came.

However, as if fate was going to work against them, everyone in the office had just breathed a sigh of relief when another person broke into the conference room.

"Mrs. Weasley has been kidnapped, it's a trap!"

As Zhang Xu's words fell, the sound of tea spraying and coughing sounded in the conference room, and the good mood that everyone had just mentioned was splashed cold and hard by his basin of liquid nitrogen.

"What's the situation?" Scrimgeour asked, who was the first to react.

Ψ(ーー; )

"Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle." Zhang Xu stretched out his finger and pointed three fingers and said, "According to the information I have so far, Mrs. Weasley is being held in these three places. ”

As soon as Zhang Xu finished speaking, Frank and Percy's faces immediately became ugly.

"Edinburgh."

"Plymouth."

Lupin said a little excitedly: "I got the news that it was in Newcastle. ”

The next moment, Lupin's face immediately turned dark, because Zhang Xu used a voice to tell him a name: "Snape." ”

Lupin didn't delve into why Snape sent news to Zhang Xu, his energy at this time was not on it. He, like everyone else, was wondering why this was the case.

Zhang Xu sighed and said, "This is a spy from a mysterious person cleaning up the interior. It seems that his last attempt to kidnap the Hogwarts girls was unsuccessful, so he planned this new operation. ”

"The people who gave us the information must have assumed that the Weasley lady in their care was real, and they certainly didn't know that anyone else had been given the same assignment as themselves. If we attack a place tonight, it means that this person has provided us with information. ”

"We don't even know if there's a place other than the one we know at the moment."

"And it's highly likely that this was planned and carried out by the mysterious man himself, and only he knows where the real Mrs. Weasley is being held."

Zhang Xu told the speculation in the hearts of everyone present, and the conference room fell into silence.

The biggest problem now is that I don't know how big Voldemort is playing, and if he uses Polyjuice Potion to get a company of Mrs. Weasley to hide all over the UK, the Ministry of Magic will have to catch him blind.

And Mrs. Weasley is different from a middle-of-the-road girl like Mully. At present, the status of the Weasleys in the Northern Ministry of Magic is not low, and it can be seen from the guests at the Weasleys' wedding in the summer that their family's influence has rushed out of Europe and into the world. Against this backdrop, if something happens to Mrs. Weasley, the face of the Ministry of Northern Magic will have to be thrown into the Arctic Ocean. This would be a serious blow to the confidence of wizards who support the Northern Ministry of Magic.

At this time, Hermione stood up, walked to Zhang Xu's side, pulled his sleeve, and motioned for him to leave with herself.

Zhang Xu followed Hermione out of the Pig's Head Bar and into a nearby alley where no one was around.

Hermione looked around at no one, and she asked in a low voice, "Can you use the time turner again, I can help you keep it a secret." ”

Zhang Xu shook his head helplessly and said, "That time turner is no longer in my hand." ”

It's not that he doesn't want to open the plug-in again to be lazy, it's just that someone sneaked into his dorm room while he was taking a shower last weekend, opened his treasure bag and took the time turner away, leaving only a note and a pack of spicy notes. When he found out about this situation today, he wanted to call to ask for clarification, but this time the more powerful plug-in phone had stopped.

However, Zhang Xu's intuition told him that Voldemort's action this time might not be so simple.
