Daily Prophet:

Yesterday evening, the Ministry of Magic was invaded by Death Eaters, and the mysterious man who led the team was wounded by the Aurors who arrived after hearing the news, and left a few Death Eaters to escape.

Many of the Aurors were injured, two of them in serious condition and still receiving treatment.

The cause of the attack is still unknown, and the Ministry of Magic has held the three arrested Death Eaters for interrogation.

The Ministry of Magic has increased its security level, and is preparing for a mass distribution of magical items with alarm charms, which will appear in all wizards' mailboxes in a few days.

"Rufus did it perfectly, but he dared to say that he injured the mystery man......" Lockhart nodded with the newspaper and flipped to the next page, "Thank you for the newspaper, Hermione, you can go back, you still have a few subjects to take." ”

Next:

The Ministry of Magic has officially issued an Auror Recall Order and a Striker Recruitment Order, and you can sign up for the selection as long as you are willing to contribute to the peace of the wizarding world. Applicants are required to be over 17 years old, pass the compulsory subjects of the Intermediate Wizard Level Exam, and have no bad records.

"Professor, when Harry came back from Dumbledore's office yesterday, he told us that he would definitely join the Aurors in the future. Hermione told Sù Lockhart, "He said he was going to kill the mysterious man as an Auror." ”

"Yes, but it's too early, isn't it, you're only going to the sixth grade. Lockhart put down the newspaper, "The Aurors had such a bad record yesterday, and Harry still wanted to be an Auror?"

"We're not stupid, Professor!" Hermione was a little dissatisfied, "we can tell the good from the bad!" Even Professor Lockhart was repulsed by a single blow, and the mysterious man must be the strongest wizard in the world, so the Aurors insisted on fighting him, and not even a single one died. That's courage, the courage that we Gryffindor flaunt!"

It's such a strong middle two breath, but it's different when it comes out of the mouth of a little beauty, Lockhart smiled secretly. Seeing Hermione sitting across from her, looking at herself with her chin propped up, she couldn't help but reach out and touch Hermione's smooth and delicate face, which had a few subtle scratches on it, caused by yesterday's battle. Hermione was about to continue talking, a little dazed and overwhelmed by Lockhart's affectionate gesture, but meekly allowed Lockhart to caress her face, and even gently leaned her face against Lockhart's hand.

"Okay, let's go back, it's time for a holiday after the exam. Lockhart was also a little baffled by his own knee-jerk movements.

"Well, Professor, then I'll go back......" Hermione just had a stomach full of justice, courage and something like that, when she also turned into a pool of tenderness, and left obediently with a red face.

Voldemort was not only stronger than the children expected, but also far beyond Lockhart's imagination. Although he had long been mentally prepared, Voldemort would be strong, even stronger than Dumbledore. But it wasn't until the moment he met Voldemort that he realized that he still underestimated Voldemort's strength.

With the Elder Wand, Dumbledore could barely draw with Voldemort, but as his strength grew and his vision improved, Lockhart could already feel it - Voldemort was a lot stronger than Dumbledore, at least much stronger than Dumbledore after destroying the Ring Horcrux and being injured. Although Voldemort fled in front of Dumbledore, this is because of the existence of the Aurors and does not say anything.

When a wizard reaches a certain level, when facing other wizards, he will naturally be able to sense the strength of the other party. Lockhart was proud to say that he was able to sense Voldemort and Dumbledore's breath.

Unfortunately - Voldemort's aura was far more powerful than Dumbledore's, and this was not something that could be done by any illusion or psychological suggestion, and Moody and the others, as well as the other Aurors, though they didn't say it, must have known it in their hearts. Lockhart's original expectation of Voldemort's strength was that he could easily defeat five or six Aurors, but when facing a double-digit Aurors, he should not be an opponent. After all, in the original books, Voldemort and Dumbledore had a slight upper hand in the battle, and as soon as they sensed that the Aurors were coming, they immediately fled.

But the result was much more than Lockhart had expected - eighteen Aurors, plus Moody, Blake, and Lupin and himself, were twenty-six if you counted the children. Although the children's combat effectiveness is negligible, among them are famous Aurors such as Scrimgeour and Moody, Kingsley and Dawlis did not arrive due to being the bodyguards of the Minister of Magic, but this lineup is already luxurious, but it is still unbearable when facing Voldemort. Moody said that Voldemort was stronger than he was back then, and it seems that the side effects of the Horcrux made him greatly stronger.

Then, Lockhart's original plan to besiege Voldemort through traps and ambushes like a dragon hunt could not be realized. Unless Voldemort fights Harry with a wand loyal to Harry as in the original book, Dumbledore can't be absent from the battle to kill Voldemort, but fortunately, now Dumbledore's injuries have been healed by the Philosopher's Stone, and it is estimated that he can participate in future battles.

It's too early to think about that, but fortunately, Harry's strength has exceeded Lockhart's expectations, Dumbledore thinks that it is the soul mark given to him by Voldemort that gives Harry a talent similar to Voldemort's, and Dumbledore also secretly gave Harry a potion of enchantment. By the time Harry reaches adulthood, his magic will be stronger than Lockhart's, and with a little training, it will come in handy.

Maybe Voldemort could be lured into the school, like Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall, and maybe even Professor Slughorn, who might come to teach, are powerful wizards with hidden strength, and with their help, the battle will be much easier.

Forget it, I don't want to think about this, let's deal with the remaining exams first.
