Dumbledore immediately made a decision, protected Fudge behind him, raised his hand slightly, and a blue armor appeared out of thin air.

The pale blue light blocked out all the scattered and flying wood chips around it.

"What's going on?" Outside the door, the Aurors, who were in charge of the guards, rushed in.

Before they could figure out the situation, another red spell slashed across the dark sky and struck straight at them.

"Boom!"

This time, under the obstruction of the Aurors, the spell was still in mid-air, and it was jointly detonated by several people.

"What people!"

The enraged Auror pounced directly in the direction where the spell flew out.

Damn - someone attacked the Minister of Magic!

"I killed the Minister of Magic~~~"

In the dark night, despite the wind and snow, the sound still traveled far, far away.

The entire village of Hogsmeade was filled with the sound of madness, gloom.

"Catch her!" The Aurors, dressed in black robes, approached the shouting figure like ghosts.

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!"

The Aurors rushed up to catch the figure, but unexpectedly, the figure was so fast that it suddenly disappeared in place.

"Illusion Spell?"

"Hehe~Come and catch me~" In the dark night, the weird laughter was particularly terrifying in the wind and snow.

Dumbledore stopped to look in the direction in which the voice had fled.

My heart tightened slightly.

It can't be Owen's kid~

No- no, he wouldn't have known Fudge was here tonight.

——————

"Boom~"

In the forest, a group of young wizards are still resisting the wind and snow.

Suddenly, a loud noise in the distance drew everyone's attention.

"Oops!" Hermione's face changed suddenly, "The assault has begun!" ”

Anyway~ She ran towards the nearby village of Hogsmeade without stopping.

"Someone seems to be dead." Harry's little face was blue from the cold, and he didn't care much about it at this time, and followed directly in the direction of Hermione and Luna's departure.

"That-" Of all the people, only Justin was the calmest, and he said in confusion, "Shouldn't we go back to the castle and inform the professors first?" ”

Moreover, the little wizard of Gryffindor is forgotten.

Why is that Ravenclaw so reckless?

Don't

In fact, there is only one house in the whole of Hogwarts?

Hufflepuff is an illusion?

Justin looked at the crowd worriedly, but his words did not attract the attention of the other young wizards.

Maybe the wind and snow were too big to swallow his voice.

Seeing that the suggestion was fruitless, Justin, who was ruthless, had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow along.

————

On the other side, Owen, who was arranging magic items by the Black Lake, also heard an explosion in the distance.

Well???

Chinese New Year?

He stopped what he was doing, and calculated in his heart, well—he couldn't figure out if it was the Lunar New Year

But he can be sure that the New Year is at least a little more than a month, how could it be today?

Could it be Professor Flitwick?

I haven't done it yet?

Wait for my signal!

Look at the magic props that you have already set up half of them.

Owen shook his teeth! Continued to work hard against the wind and snow.

No, hold back! Be sure to hold back! You can't stop halfway! Isn't it just lively? I just don't look at it today.

Owen, who continued to set up the stage in silence, gritted his back molars and dragged back his heart, which had flown to the foot of the mountain.

Oh! My genes for being beaten up.

Stop jumping!!

————

"Catch her!" In the jungle below the mountain, figures continue to pass through.

"There are many obstacles!"

As the right-hand man of the Auror Office, the Minister of Protection was under the full command of Kingsley Shackle.

It was a tall, balding, dark-skinned wizard.

Has a deep, slow voice, calms people down, and is very good at getting along with Muggles.

He wears a distinctive African wizard's robe, with gold earrings on one ear.

In the future of the original books, he will become the first Minister of Magic after the fall of Lord Voldemort.

and stepped down in 2017.

And his successor is the famous Hermione Granger.

"Damn, it's too much snow."

The spell didn't hit the fleeing witch in the distance, but the trunk of a tree beside her.

Suddenly, heavy snow fell on the branches, completely obscuring the Aurors' vision.

"Tonks!" Kingsley Shackle rushed up angrily, "Are you covering her escape?" ”

"Uh-look at what you said, I just barely got on the head." Tonks, who had just graduated less than two years ago and was still in the Auror training stage, smiled awkwardly.

The reason why she is here today is just a scene.

No Auror would have thought that a dark wizard would dare to attack the Minister of Magic at the feet of Hogwarts, under Dumbledore's nose.

Tonks is just here to mix up qualifications.

"You-" looked at Nimphadora Tonks, dressed in a weird sister's shirt, patched jeans, and dyed her hair a bright pink. Kingsley Shackleton was deflated.

No way, who made Tonks a natural disguised Maguss.

She is free to change her appearance.

This ability is innate, which makes her more suitable for the role of an Auror, making it easier to hide and disguise.

The Auror Office needed her ability, otherwise, with the achievements of this young rebellious wizard in the past two years, he would have been expelled from the Auror ranks.

"Alright. I'll see it next time! Kingsley replied with a nonchalant rebuke, then beckoned the other Aurors to come closer.

"Hogwarts is surrounded by a powerful anti-illusion shifting charm. There's no way she'll be able to escape. Everyone, give me a carpet search, and be sure to catch her! ”

To dare to attack the Minister of Magic, for whatever reason, is a felony!

Especially under Dumbledore's eyes.

If the criminal is allowed to escape, his face will be lost.

And just when the Aurors divided their forces to capture.

The remaining Aurors protected Dumbledore and Fudge as they traveled to Hogwarts.

Compared to Hogsmeade, it is clear that Hogwarts Castle is much safer.

Now that the outside world is unknown, it is inconvenient for them to leave directly.

The crowd gathered around the minister, and their steps were fast.

And this scene happened to be watched by Hermione.

"Oh no." Although the wind and snow blocked most of her vision, Hermione still felt like she had seen the truth, "Professor Dumbledore has been held hostage!" ”

“？？？”

“Are you crazy?”

Ron subconsciously shouted.

"I saw with my own eyes that the professor was surrounded by many men in black, and he must have been coerced." Hermione calmly judged, "Look at the direction they are going in Hogwarts Castle, they- are they trying to use Professor Dumbledore to force other professors to submit?" ”

"I think it's time for you to get some sleep." Ron still didn't believe it, because he didn't see it.

"It's time for me to rest." Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron, and immediately pulled Luna to follow, "But wait until you get the professor rescued!" ”

“.” Ron looked sideways at Harry, "Did you think Hermione was crazy?" ”

"Hmm!" Harry nodded heavily, then pulled his legs to follow. "If even Professor Dumbledore can't win, then didn't she die in the past?"

“.”

Lose your marbles!

It's all crazy!

Ron was out of breath, "That's Dumbledore!" He alone can defeat all the wizards in England! Will he be held hostage? ”

"Maybe it's an impostor, like we did! Don't go over, it's a conspiracy, a conspiracy!! ”

Although he was the only young wizard in the audience who always believed in Dumbledore, Ron had a very painful life.

He suddenly felt Owen's sadness, the kind of person who couldn't learn to teach spells no matter how many times he said them.

In the face of this kind of stupidity, it can indeed make people half dead!

Several people followed all the way.

As the woods in front of you gradually thinned.

Finally they came to an open field.

In front of him was a white, frozen black lake.

The little ones hid behind the rocks by the lake and poked their heads out to look into the distance.

There, Dumbledore and the black-robed wizards stopped.

Looking at this scene, even Harry was a little hesitant, could it be that Dumbledore was really held hostage?

The wind and snow in front of him were very big, although he couldn't see it clearly, but those few figures in black robes knew at a glance that they were definitely not good people.

"Could it be" Suddenly a face appeared in Harry's mind, a miserable white, noseless face.

When there was a lot of noise in the Chamber of Secrets, he had wondered if there were wizards who had infiltrated Hogwarts, like Quirrell in the first year, with Voldemort possessed behind his head.

For this reason, he wondered if Lockhart was also parasitized by some dark wizard.

"Voldemort is back?" It's no wonder that Harry is foolish, mainly because he can't think of anyone else who can threaten the great Dumbledore except Voldemort.

"Harry, you mean."

As soon as the mysterious man's name came out, Ron couldn't help but be entangled in his previous judgment.

If it was Voldemort who suddenly attacked Dumbledore with his minions

Ron didn't dare to think about it anymore.

But someone else thought about it for him.

The Dark Lord - it's back!

Rat-spotted, struggling to poke his head out of Ron's pocket, stared at the Aurors in the distance with a pair of black eyes.

Last year, he was nervous, excited, and terrified after he heard his little master talk about the Dark Lord still alive and sneaking into Hogwarts Castle.

He couldn't wait to get back under the Dark Lord's account.

On the one hand, he was afraid to go, he was afraid that the Dark Lord would be angry with him because of the prophesied time.

Because he was the one who told the Dark Lord the location of the Potters.

If Voldemort wanted to kill him for this, he couldn't find an excuse to refute it.

Available now.

If the Dark Lord really imprisoned Dumbledore

The bald rat suddenly had a candidate in his heart.

Maybe I can go to Grindelwald?

He's Dumbledore's nemesis, and he's certainly not going to trouble myself because I've betrayed Dumbledore.

And I heard that Grindelwald had always been on the continent, away from England, away from Voldemort - and turning to Grindelwald may be his only way out at the moment.

I'm going to take the exam in Wuhan these days, and I'll try my best to be 6,000, or 4,000 if I can't do it, but it will definitely not be broken.
