"What are we supposed to do now?" Lockhart made no secret of his lack of ideas.

"I drew a code on the tree, and when the others got here, they could see the next meeting place I had given. "I'm here because you and Granger, as well as Harry and Syris, can't read this code, which we started using a few years after you left the Auror Division, and only in the event that the Ministry of Magic is in the hands of an adversary." ”

"But someone has been caught...... Hermione was a little worried, "will they also see the code and know where to meet next?" ”

"Of course it's possible, but don't forget, the Aurors all have Occlumency, and the only way to interrogate the Aurors is to use guò to vomit the truth...... Truth-telling agents have the property that they will answer all questions they ask – but only if they do. Scrimgeour said lightly, "The group of pus bags of the strikers, there is no expert in interrogation, it is estimated that they asked about the meeting place of Keith, so they hurriedly came to ambush, and they didn't ask any other means of contact at all." Of course, another point, the idea of marking trees with non-magical means is very good, and even I almost didn't notice that this kind of non-conventional means of transmission of codes requires a strong sense of observation, and my own people may not be able to find out, let alone outsiders. ”

"Then we're now—"

"Let's go to the next meeting point first. Scrimgeour said decisively, "You can gather as many people as you can." ”

Scrimgeour used his magic to mark the location of the target for everyone, and was the first to apparition.

"London?" Lockhart looked at Hermione in disbelief, her face alarmed.

"Anyway, let's go first, Gildero. Blake was a little surprised, but not surprised, "London is just a little closer to the Ministry of Magic, I escaped from Azkaban and went to London, and the Aurors didn't do anything to me. ”

No matter how surprised he was, Lockhart apparitioned with the others.

"I've been waiting for you for more than ten seconds. Is London so scary?" Scrimgeour stood in the position of the apparition with a slight dissatisfaction, "The apparition has an advantage to London - this is the meeting point of the national Floo network, and thousands of people use the Floo network to enter and leave London every day, and it is difficult for the Ministry of Magic to find us by reading the records of the use of the Floo network. ”

Scrimgeour led the way towards a building: "The place I carved in the tree over there is the roof of this building. But for the sake of insurance, we have to add another insurance measure. ”

Scrimgeour led the group into the building, climbed up the stairs to the top floor, and Scrimgeour pushed open a door. Come to the roof.

"There is no sign of any wizards in the vicinity right now, which means that your code has not been revealed, but are we just waiting here?" Lockhart asked curiously.

Without speaking, Scrimgeour picked up a brick on the ground, slashed a few lines of letters with a knife, and put it back behind the door that entered the roof, the last step up the stairs.

"I see, the other Aurors will have to turn up the bricks on the ground to find the place where we will actually stay when they get here according to the information in the woods. ”

Miss Granger guessed right. For the Aurors, the ability to observe is very important, and I put this brick in such a conspicuous place, if other Aurors come and don't know how to turn it over, it means that he is not trained enough, and he ......is not good enough," Scrimgeour said disdainfully, "and if the Ministry of Magic finds the code carved on the tree, it will definitely only ambush the nearby roof and stare at it, and will not go directly to this roof, let alone notice the brick." ”

Subsequently. Scrimgeour gave everyone a real meeting point location, in a small hotel in London away from the city centre.

The one who runs the hotel is a Squib, and he gives the crowd today's Daily Prophet, and Scrimgeour says he's absolutely trustworthy...... Others can only choose to believe his claims. According to him, this place has always been stored as a secret stronghold of the Aurors, but only he knows about it.

"The plan was pushed out by the enemy to the point where it could hardly be carried out, but we could not be discouraged. Such a dilemma arises, which is understandable. As you can imagine, the Death Eaters must have felt the same way when we took control of the Ministry of Magic - there were a whole bunch of plans against us, but our actions were constantly undermining their plans - whether it was against the Death Eaters' non-human allies. Or the capture and assassination of important Death Eaters, which made them miserable. As the weaker side, the plan certainly couldn't be completed every time according to the script, but they eventually used a ruse to seize the Ministry of Magic. Scrimgeour sat down on the couch, and the others began to find a place to sit. "They held back for so long and managed to win back a game...... Now it's our turn to pay our debts. Plans can't keep up with changes, but we can't just stop planning because of this, we have to have a general idea of what to do next. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Needless to say, just tell us what to do. Lockhart interrupted him impatiently, he was not in the mood to listen to such a lecture now: "Hurry up and do something, the strikers who participated in the killing of Mad Eye, and all the Death Eaters, and even the pure-blood families that supported the Death Eaters, must die!"

Lockhart's words drew the attention of the other four......

"Gildero, what's wrong with you? You don't look normal, you don't usually say such extreme things. Scrimgeour frowned and glanced at him, "You must now learn to keep your sanity, make plans, and lead the other Aurors, Gadwin is dead, and if I die again, you will be the new leader of the Resistance—you can't be so obsessed with commands anymore." ”

"If you die, do we still need to continue to resist?" Lockhart said disdainfully, opening the newspaper only to see important information: the new battle hero, Harry Abner Manjik, killed Alastor Moody, an important figure of the opposing party, and protected a large number of Ministries of Magic during the siege of the mutinous wizards a few days ago.

"Hahaha, they actually put the man who killed the mad-eye in the newspaper - this man must die anyway. Lockhart didn't continue to read anything else in the newspaper, but clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "If you die, Rufus, I'll kill this guy and run away." ”

"It's not good for you to think so, but if I'm dead too, and you don't want to take up the burden - then you really don't have to resist, and you might as well flee outside of Britain with Hermione and Harry, and at least live out your life in peace. ”

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me...... So many people died. Harry said sadly, "My impulsive actions have missed the best time to evacuate the battlefield - you don't have to be involved in this war, the prophecy says it's my war with him......

"Don't be sentimental, Harry!" Hermione said angrily, "The wizarding world's war against the mysterious people began before your father was born, and it's not your business alone!"

"Harry, don't be cranky...... Even if it's your war, you have to have a helper, right? Blake comforted Harry, "The prophecy says that one of you and the mysterious man is destined to kill the other, and we're going to help you be the one who takes the initiative." ”
