Professor Emerson watched Hop jump out of the ring, knowing that Hope had thrown in the towel, and looked at the time when class was about to end.

Professor Emmerson said: "Thank you Mr. Lloyd for the great performance, Hufflepuff plus 10 points. ”

As he spoke, he took the lead in applauding, and the little wizards, who were still in a state of shock, reacted and gave Hope a warm applause.

Although Hope lost, Hope's performance was too surprising, everyone was a first-year wizard, and when they were still struggling with how to release the spell smoothly, Hope had already secretly practiced several sets of combos by himself.

Hope, however, was very distressed, and after the news spread, someone always came to him in the name of asking for advice.

The next day, at breakfast, Hope rejected a group of young wizards who came to ask for advice, and after eating breakfast quietly, a large flock of owls flew into the halls of Hogwarts.

Hope looked at the owl in the air vigilantly, but did not see Xueya's figure, so he was relieved and continued to eat breakfast with peace of mind.

Matteo, who was on the side, took the "Daily Prophet" that the owl had sent and opened it.

Hope, who was accustomed to rubbing Matteo's daily newspaper, glanced at the person with the photo on the front page of today's daily newspaper looking somewhat familiar.

Hope said to Matteo, "Matteo, can I take a look at today's Daily Prophet?" ”

Matteo didn't even think about it, and neatly handed the "Daily Prophet" in his hand to Hope, who had long been accustomed to Hope's behavior of rubbing his newspaper.

Hope took the newspaper and read the headlines of the day, cutting out most of the nonsense and skipping the Ministry of Magic's invasion to mean that in a few days the Ministry of Magic was going to imprison dangerous smugglers in Azkaban, where an elite Auror team led by Joey Lloyd, the deputy head of the Auror Office, would escort them.

Looking at this news, Hope scratched his head, something was wrong, it was very wrong, what was there to publicize about transporting prisoners, and it also took the headlines of the Daily Prophet.

Azkaban's location is in the sea near England, but no one can find it except the Ministry of Magic, which means that if the smugglers are sent to Azkaban, their companions can only be rescued by killing the Ministry of Magic and finding their way to Azkaban.

So this is obviously a trap, just to see if we can use this to hook the rest of the smugglers.

But Hope was even more surprised that it took so long to get the smuggler he caught in Azkaban, and that such a man who was on the edge of the law would really risk his life to save his companions?

Looking at the figure of his father Joy in the newspaper, Hope felt a trace of worry, although Joy is very strong, but who can say for sure that there is such a thing as magic?

As the days passed, there was no news from the Ministry of Magic escorting the smugglers.

At this time, the Ministry of Magic Joey was organizing his elite team of Aurors, and a few days ago, the Ministry of Magic had discussed how to catch the remaining smugglers, and finally decided to set a trap to lure the smugglers out.

Due to the previous sneak of several smugglers into the Ministry of Magic, the Ministry of Magic decided that this companion was important to them, so they planned to set a trap.

Using Azkaban to lure those people out, Azkaban, the most secure prison for the Ministry of Magic in England, is very hidden, and even if it is exposed, they are not able to break into the Dementor-guarded Azkaban.

So when they learned that their companions would be imprisoned in Azkaban, they would be robbing people halfway.

However, as an escort team, the number of people can't be too much, if you really organize a team of dozens or hundreds of people to escort, his companions will definitely not come to their own death, too few will not work, in case it is really robbed of people, it will be a joke.

After discussion, the number of people in the team is 5 people, plus Joey who leads the team, a total of 6 people.

And there are five upgraded defense bracelets sent by Hope before, and Joey can just configure one for each of his teammates, as for him, he doesn't need it, he is different from these rookies, and the defense bracelet can only be the icing on the cake for him.

Although there were only three people when the smugglers invaded the Ministry of Magic, after Joey's previous investigation, he could be sure that there were at least seven smugglers, so their goal was to drag down the smugglers, and then wait for the ambushed Aurors to set up the anti-apparition, the larger the scope of this magic arrangement, the longer it would take.

So Joey made two preparations, one was the magic pistol he borrowed from his son Hope to make red crystals, although the anti-illusion disfigured released in this way was short, but it could be used to delay time.

When everything was ready, Joey went to the holding chamber and looked at the dead smuggler who was bound, and lifted him up with a wand with a blank face.

Joey sneered and said to the smuggler, "Take you to a good place, and find you a few companions by the way." ”

The bound smuggler did not react, but looked at Joey with indifferent eyes, the famous Azkabana of England was like a thunderbolt, claiming that no one could escape from prison, and would suffer the ravages of Dementors every day, and it would not be long before he would go crazy.

But the smuggler didn't panic at all, he had already put his life aside in this business, this was just part of the plan, he had set up a stall in Tumbledown Alley before was part of the plan, but he was more unlucky and was caught in advance, and I don't know which Tumbledown Alley dark wizard reported him.

Joyton was bored by the unresponsive smuggler, remembering that when he first became an Auror, the Death Eaters he caught were like cats and mice when he heard that they were going to be imprisoned in Azkaban.

Escorting the smugglers into a special prison car, the two watched the prisoners in the car, closed the door of the prison car, locked the twelve magic locks, and Joey sat in the driver's seat in front of the prison car, driving Thestrals to pull the car.

The rest of the people sat on flying broomsticks to guard around the prisoner cart, and when the prisoner cart flew into the air, their bodies completely blended into the night, and some frames could be faintly seen.

Originally, there was no need to disguise it like this, but with the development of the Muggle world, more and more planes appeared in the air, and the Ministry of Magic had no choice but to disguise the escort team with body illusions, and they couldn't fly too high, for fear of colliding with the plane, and the interference caused by the wind process of the plane could easily make the disguise ineffective.

All the way to the coast of the North Sea of England, the escort team has been safe, but the Aurors have not let their guard down at all.

This was the last chance for the smugglers, and when they reached the route of Azkaban at sea, the smugglers could no longer find them, because the route to Azkaban was protected by magic, and unless there was a guide, they would be turned elsewhere as they walked.

When they reached the surface of the sea, a huge wave rose into the sky, and Joey hurriedly pulled the reins to hold the frightened Thestrals.

The three people on the flying broomstick guard also quickly approached the carriage, and Joey looked at the sea under his feet, this is a triggered magic trap, which will be triggered whenever someone passes by it, and there are such traps in the surrounding sea.

It's not very lethal, but it's so wide of range that it's perfect for spying on their team.

Joey said secretly: This smuggler is not easy to deal with, and this kind of magic trap will be arranged.
