When Scrimgeour learned the news, it was already the next day, because he asked the guards of Azkaban to report every day, but he didn't get the information when he should have gotten it. By the time he led the Oros to Azkaban, the tower had been completely razed to the ground, leaving only ruins.

This news cannot be concealed, and there is no way to hide it. Sure, he can silence those who are loyal to him, but know that the Ministry of Magic is no different from a sieve now.

"Azkaban Falls: Death Eaters Break Masse"

Harry stared dumbfounded at the front page of the Daily Prophet, where Scrimgeour was speechless in front of the photo showing only a pile of rubble.

It's not been a few days since Hagrid last said that he leaked his mouth, and even yesterday, the front page of the Daily Prophet was "The Ministry of Magic Wins", and today it is "Azkaban is down"?

Subconsciously, Harry looked at the professorship, and Dumbledore's position was still in the air.

"He's going to be busy with something so big." Harry thought.

"It's a disaster!" At the Gryffindor table, Ron said loudly, "All the Death Eaters we worked so hard to catch are just gone?" ”

"If the newspapers are telling the truth, that's right." Hermione frowned, she was not in the mood for a delicious breakfast at all, "But even if this is not true, you can see from this photo that all the prisoners have escaped." And ......"

"And what?" Harry asked.

"If you look at the whole report, there is not a single mention of the original guards, and it seems that they should all have been killed." Hermione said, "Don't forget, they just put Greyback in. ”

"How did this happen......" Ron muttered, looking very disappointed.

Harry wanted to know that too, so after breakfast, he decided to write a letter to Sirius to ask, a decision that Hermione and Ron agreed upon.

Three days later, Hedaway brought back Sirius's letter, and the three of them eagerly opened it. But Sirius didn't write much, and there was only one name on the letter: Ike Stred.

That says it all.

"It's him again!" Ron said hatefully, and slapped the table, his face flushed, "He's completely become the Dark Lord's lackey!" Seriously, I hate him even more now than Malfoy. ”

Neither Harry nor Hermione spoke, just silently listening to Ron complaining and cursing beside him. Ron also became more and more energetic as he spoke, and his words became more and more difficult to hear. Harry listened as he quietly observed Hermione's face, but he didn't see any mental activity on her face at all, and it was surprisingly calm from beginning to end.

This scene made Harry's heart a little upset, he wanted to ask Hermione's opinion, but he was afraid of hurting her feelings. The heart base was calculated for a long time, but did not speak.

After going through so many things, he has grown a lot after all, if it were two years ago, he would definitely ask at the first time.

For the next few weeks, Azkaban and Ike became the only talking point at Hogwarts, and even the active Professor Slughorn and his Slug Club were left to the fore for a while, with the Daily Prophet headlining it for a week.

In fact, it is still said now, but it is only used as a tool to attack Minister Scrimgeur.

It was fast forward to mid-October, and Hogwarts had miraculously approved the students to travel to Hogsmeade, much to everyone's surprise. According to the current bad situation, everyone thought that they would not be able to go to Hogsmeade this year, but now that they know that they can go, they are very happy.

The oppressive atmosphere has been hanging over Hogwarts for a long time, and it's nice to be able to go out and relax, even if it's only for a few hours. Harry was perhaps the most eagerly awaited, as Sirius had written to wait for him in Hogsmeade.

With excitement and excitement, Harry woke up early in the morning. When he woke up, it was just getting dark outside, and the rest of the dorm room was still asleep.

Without making a sound, he picked up the book "Advanced Potions Making" next to the bed and read it.

The book now looks new, Harry has given him a bag and exchanged the one he bought from the Blotted bookstore with the old one, and Professor Slughorn won't care about it anyway, as long as he gives him an "old book".

Since getting the book, Harry has become a child who loves to read, and his behavior has gradually become "Hermione", always holding it to read. He found that the book was not a textbook at all, it was very informative, not only with easier potion tips and shortcuts, but also with many small spells and small magic written in the margins of the book.

The scribbled notes led Harry to conclude that they must have been invented by the Half-Blood Prince.

He'd tried several of the above spells, one was to make people's toes grow wildly, and another was to stick people's tongues to the roof of the mouth, but the most useful ones were to close the earbuds to listen to the spells, which filled everyone's ears with a bee-like buzzing sound, and it was very useful for small talk during class.

Harry lay on his side on the bed, flipped through his textbook, and carefully recognized a spell. It seems that the "half-blood prince" put a lot of thought into this spell, scribbling and changing it countless times, and finally wrote the name of the spell in the corner of that page:

Upside Down Admiralty (silent)

Harry stared at the word in parentheses, unsure if he could do it. More than a month later, he still couldn't master the art of silent spelling, so Snape used it in class to make irresponsible remarks.

"Try it......" Harry thought to himself, picking up his wand and pointing at a random place, shaking it lightly while reciting the incantation in his head: Hang the Admiralty upside down!

"Ahhhh

A bright light flashed, and the dormitory was in chaos. Ron screamed loudly, hanging headfirst in the air as if an invisible hook had hung him up. This woke everyone up, Dean and Seamus laughed, and Neville was so frightened that he fell out of bed to the floor.

"I'm sorry!" Harry exclaimed, quickly looking at the page of the textbook where the bell was written upside down, and finally found the counterspell in the corner.

Concentrate and recite silently from the bottom of your heart: Admiralty has landed!

The wand glowed again, and Ron fell straight onto the bed.

"I'm sorry." Harry looked at the embarrassed Ron and apologized again. Dean and Seamus next to him were still laughing loudly.

Ron didn't seem to be hurt, shook his head, and muffled back, "It's okay, but Harry, next time you wake me up, use the alarm clock......
