The time spent on the holidays is always short. - Lu Xun

I didn't say this - Lu Xun

Three days before the end of the holiday, Zhang Xu took the souvenirs that Furong bought for his family and got on a plane to Paris.

The day before returning to Hogwarts, just after lunch and about to play with Gabrielle, a phone call from Dumbledore told Ray that he was not in the mood to play with his sister-in-law.

After the Hogwarts accident, Dumbledore found Dobby, and then Dobby took the elder Deng to Zhang Xu's villa in Hogsmeade and called Zhang Xu with the mobile phone that Zhang Xu kept there.

Think about the picture of Lao Deng holding the manual in one hand and holding the mobile phone there in the other, it's beautiful.

Hogwarts was attacked by the Death Eaters in the early hours of this morning, and Barty Crouch Jr., who had been locked up in a secret room by Dumbledore, was rescued by the Death Eaters.

If it weren't for Peeves spotting the retreating Death Eaters in the foyer as he was preparing for a prank, Dumbledore might have been kept in the dark.

But listening to Lao Deng's tone, it seems that the problem is not too serious, he just let Zhang Xu know about this matter, and he doesn't have to rush back.

This action, which did not conform to Voldemort's previous style, made Zhang Xu vigilant.

It can be seen that Voldemort and the Death Eaters are making changes, and the old routines will no longer apply.

Maybe in the days to come, Voldemort and the Death Eaters will do more shocking actions.

After Gabrielle pinched Zhang Xu's face a few times in his arms, Zhang Xu realized that he should have been holding Gabrielle to read to her now, but because he was thinking about something, he had been there motionless for a long time.

Zhang Xu reluctantly hugged Gabrielle to the side and put it away, the sister-in-law is old, and she can't hug it casually in the future.

After saying goodbye to the reluctant Gabrielle, Zhang Xu immediately rushed back to Hogwarts.

"Professor Dumbledore, what's going on this morning?" Zhang Xu, who came to the principal's office for the first time, asked as soon as he sat down at his desk.

"It's Twinkle." Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "I've been trying to prevent Twilight from knowing about Barty Jr., and I accidentally let her know. ”

"The house-elves at Hogwarts have been bringing food to Barty Jr. Little Barty quietly carved his initials on the plate from the broken pieces of the porcelain cup, which was later discovered by the sparkle who cleaned the plate. ”

"Later, Twilight found the secret room while the other house-elves were delivering food to Barty."

After seeing Twilight, Barty Jr. told her to inform the other Death Eaters.

"And in the early hours of this morning, the Death Eaters rescued Barty Jr., who was discovered by Peeves in the foyer."

"Then I found the fainting Sparkle in the secret room."

Zhang Xu just wanted to ask Dumbledore why he didn't make a move, but Dumbledore handed him a newspaper and said, "There was another big incident that happened last night, so I wasn't at Hogwarts at the time. ”

Zhang Xu took over the newspaper, which is today's "Prophet Daily".

Nearly three-quarters of the front page is printed with photos of dozens of wizards.

The news below the photo reports a massive prison escape in Azkaban last night, with a large number of Death Eaters and Dark Wizards escaping from Azkaban.

"Looks like the Death Eaters' ranks are going to grow." Zhang Xu looked at the newspaper and said.

Dumbledore, who was sitting across from his desk, nodded.

In this way, Zhang Xu basically smoothed out what happened yesterday.

First, there was a mass escape from Azkaban, and Dumbledore, who received the news, left Hogwarts to take part in the matter.

A team of Death Eaters then took advantage of Dumbledore's absence to attack Hogwarts and rescue Barty Crouch Jr.

"It looks like our last Defence Against the Dark Arts professor didn't escape." Zhang Xu noticed that Umbridge was not on the prison break list.

After reading the first edition, Zhang Xu turned to the second edition.

The second edition begins with a photograph of Azkaban taken from a distance, showing the Dark Mark skull flying over Azkaban.

Newspaper reports have both views.

The Ministry of Magic is known for organizing the escape by a group of Death Eater remnants, and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic will soon be able to apprehend the fugitives.

And some reports have argued that the Mystery Man may have actually returned, and that the Dementors have fallen to the Mystery Man.

"Fudge is having a hard time." Zhang Xu said after reading the newspaper.

Azkaban's escape from prison is not what Zhang Xu is concerned about now, he is most concerned about the Death Eaters' sneak attack on Hogwarts.

He didn't want to be touched by a Death Eater one day when he was sleeping.

"How did the Death Eaters infiltrate Hogwarts, Professor?" Zhang Xu asked curiously.

Hogwarts' defensive magic looks good, but it still has a lot of holes.

Not to mention the various secret passages, when Mr. Crouch has a bad head in the "plot", he can still walk through the Forbidden Forest and touch the edge.

Dumbledore didn't answer Zhang Xu's question, but instead placed the meditation basin on his desk, and poured the memories into a brand new small bottle.

At Dumbledore's signal, Zhang Xu plunged into the meditation basin with a face.

Zhang Xu came to a dark secret passage, and he couldn't see his five fingers.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in the depths of the secret passage, and after a while, several wizards in black cloaks and hoods walked over with glowing wands.

Zhang Xu followed the five wizards in the secret passage, and soon came to a collapsed place.

The wizards who were blocked by boulders and dirt did not panic at all, they seemed to have expected this.

Suddenly, Zhang Xu, who was following behind, heard a familiar voice.

"Shadowless"

A large rock in the way was instantly punched into a round hole the size of a human head.

Zhang Xu, who walked to the front, saw that Snape had used several blades in a row without a shadow, and finally opened a round hole in the stone that pierced the stone.

Snape inspected the cavern with the light from his wand and nodded to the wizard behind him.

Then all of them took out a cookie and ate it, and they all turned into rats.

"Fred and George, ......" Zhang Xu, who was watching from the sidelines, covered his face and was speechless.

Zhang Xu could pass through the obstacles, so he followed the little mice through the boulder.

After clumsily digging through some dirt, the little mice finally made it through the obstacles.

After emerging from the secret passage through the mirror on the fifth floor, Snape led the other Death Eaters to the girls' bathroom.

Coming to the undrained faucet in the bathroom, Snape pulled out a parchment note and followed the note with a "hiss...... hiss...... "Learn the Parseltongue pronunciation.

Soon the passage to the chamber opened, and Snape left two men to hide in the bathroom to guard the back road, and jumped down with the other two.

Below they used the same method to open the door to the Chamber of Secrets, and after knocking out Flash, who was caring for Barty Crouch Jr., Snape and the others brought Barty Crouch Jr. out.

After completing the rescue mission, a tall Death Eater carried the somewhat weak Barty Crouch on his back and ran towards the castle gates, surrounded by other Death Eaters.

With the exception of encountering Peeves in the foyer, the Death Eaters ran all the way out of the castle.

By the time Professors McGonagall and Flitwick arrived, the Death Eaters had already vanished outside the school gates.

This memory ended here, and Zhang Xu, who raised his head from the meditation basin, had a solemn face.

It was so quiet that there was not a single word of conversation during the whole operation, except for a few words with Barty Jr. in the middle.

And this operation was carried out very cleanly, without any traces of mud and water, through the obstacle from the secret passage into Hogwarts, through the shortest path straight to the girls' bathroom, prepared in advance to open the secret room, after rescuing the target quickly evacuated, did not do anything superfluous.

This memory undoubtedly came from Snape, who was soon back at the castle, perhaps for an alibi or some other reason.

It's just that Voldemort didn't expect him to tell Dumbledore what happened in this way.

"The Death Eaters were well prepared before they acted, and their movements were clean and clean, and they may have been rehearsed accordingly by other means." Zhang Xu said to Dumbledore.

"But we also have good news." Dumbledore said, "After this operation, Voldemort trusted Severus even more. ”

Zhang Xu also nodded after thinking for a while, this time it can be regarded as a redemption, using a little Barty Crouch with a smaller and smaller role in exchange for Voldemort's further trust in Snape, it can't be said to be profitable, but it can't be regarded as a loss.

It can be seen from the fact that Snape led the team in this operation that Voldemort was a little suspicious of Snape.

If this operation is sabotaged by Dumbledore, who should theoretically not be at Hogwarts, then it is highly likely that there will be ghosts among the Death Eaters.

And now, except for a little accident in the last step, the whole operation can be said to be very successful and can be written into the special operations textbook.

This cleared Snape's suspicion of being an undercover agent to a large extent.

As for whether Snape and Dumbledore played a double reed in this matter, Voldemort thought it was impossible.

"It seems that Voldemort's thinking has changed a lot." Zhang Xu said, "In the past records, I have not seen him do anything like this." ”

"Yes." Dumbledore said, "I suspect that this operation was most likely not arranged by Voldemort. ”

"If that's the case, things are bad." Zhang Xu frowned and said, "If we change to an opponent that we are not familiar with at all, our actions will be passive next." ”

"Could it be that Voldemort himself came up with such an action?"

"After all, with Voldemort's lust for power, it's hard to believe that he would leave the Death Eaters under the command of someone else."

Dumbledore thought for a moment before nodding.

"Those passages need to be re-guarded, or the Death Eaters will use them to infiltrate Hogwarts." Dumbledore said.

"Leave the collapsed passages to me, and I'll set them up as death traps." Zhang Xu said.

"What do you do then?" Dumbledore asked curiously.
