What Ryan didn't expect was that he thought that Professor Dumbledore would be able to solve all the problems and send someone to replace them after just staying here for a day or two. It ended up being three days and three days, until one morning a week later,
A team of five people led by Moody arrived here to replace Ryan and the others.
"Sorry, I kept you waiting here for a long time. Now we have finally organized a team to take over for you. You can go back to school now and leave this place to us." Moody said after seeing Ryan.
He said, "By the way, Professor Dumbledore is waiting for you in the principal's office of the school. He seems to have something to tell you."
"Okay, let me first tell you how to use these newly installed magic defense systems. Then Hermione and I will go back to school together." After explaining everything, Ryan and Hermione phantomed out of the hall.
Before leaving, they saw the Azkaban guards smiling. It must be that they got the news that their relatives were safe and sound.
After a soft snap, Ryan and Hermione appeared outside the town of Hogsmeade. In a war situation, it is better to hide some things as much as possible, because hiding for one more day will give you one more day of advantage.
"What is going on? Why did everyone come to Hogsmeade?" Hermione looked at the surrounding scene with some strangeness. Nowadays, there are many colorful buildings set up outside the town of Hogsmeade.
There were many wizards walking around in the tent. It looked just like it did at the Quidditch World Cup back then. The biggest difference from that year's World Cup could only be that everyone's face looked different.
Instead of smiling, he looked sad.
After walking along the road through Hogsmeade, Ryan noticed that many of the people living in the tents could be classified as old, weak, sick and disabled, and were not helpers brought in by Dumbledore as imagined.
"Perhaps everyone came here to seek asylum from Professor Dumbledore. It seems that the British wizarding world is indeed in chaos." Ryan thought as he and Hermione arrived at the gate of Hogwarts. The gate is now closed.
It's closed, and there's a group of people patrolling inside.
"Ryan, are you back?" After seeing Ryan and the others standing at the door, the patrolling wizards came over, led by Percy Weasley. He came over to help open the school door.
"You guys did a great job. We all heard about you from Hogwarts Light." Percy said with some excitement. "Come in quickly. By the way, Principal Dumbledore asked me to tell you what to do when you get back."
Just go to his office first."
"Thank you, Moody has informed us of the news, we will go there now." Ryan nodded to Percy and then followed the road towards the castle.
It was class time at this time, and the corridor was quiet. After arriving at the door of the principal's office, Ryan just remembered that Dumbledore didn't seem to tell them what today's password was, when the two monsters at the door of the office automatically jumped to both sides.
Open, and then the stairs slowly rotate upward.
Stepping up the stairs and arriving at the oak door, the bronze handle on the door automatically rotated. The door opened, and Professor Dumbledore, who looked tired, was sitting there looking at a document.
After the sound of the door ringing, he raised his head.
"Ah, are they Ryan and Hermione? You must have been very busy this week. Now sit here and take a break and have something to eat. I will talk to you after I finish processing the documents on hand."
After saying that, he waved his magic wand, and two comfortable armchairs and a small coffee table appeared in the principal's office. On the coffee table in the middle of the armchairs, there was also a large silver cup filled with various snacks.
A plate, a teapot with hot black tea and two teacups.
Ryan and Hermione started eating and drinking unceremoniously after sitting down. They came directly when Moody came to change his shift today, which resulted in them not having breakfast at all.
When he was almost done eating, Professor Dumbledore had finished the work at hand. He looked at the almost empty plate and asked: "Isn't the food in Azkaban terrible? Do you want to come again?"
a little?"
"Thank you, no need. We are full." Ryan said after drinking the remaining tea in the cup. "When there were dementors before, these wizard guards needed to maintain morale with food and entertainment, so Azka
The food in class is actually similar to that in Hogwarts. We are only so hungry because we were notified to return early this morning without eating after patrolling last night."
"I'm really sorry, Ryan. You have to come to talk to me when you are hungry and tired." Dumbledore said in an apologetic tone. "But in the current situation, we must cherish every minute.
Because the situation is getting worse."
"I understand." Ryan nodded. "When I was in Azkaban, I listened to wizard broadcasts in London through that radio, such as the Muggle-born Registration Committee, such as you and Ms. Bones being wanted -"
"Yes, yes." Dumbledore nodded. "But this is not the worst. The worse news is that Voldemort and his henchmen have completely controlled London's magic, Diagon Alley and the entire world.
More than 90% of magic materials are produced and traded in the UK, and I even had to adopt a rationing system when students were taking potions classes to ensure that everyone had enough medicinal materials."
"You are the greatest white wizard! How can you be in such an embarrassing situation?" Hermione asked with some confusion.
"Actually, this is very reasonable." Dumbledore spread his hands, "Most of the magic farms and alchemy material production factories in the UK belong to those pure-blood families. Now that they have all turned to Voldemort, they will naturally cut off their supply.
Our supply.”
At this point Dumbledore looked at Ryan: "And I have to thank you. If you hadn't established your own magic herb plantation in advance and connected the trade with China, we might not even have the remaining 10%.
There won’t be.”
"This is what I should do." Ryan said, "But I really don't understand how the situation could be so bad. Obviously everything was very normal the morning we came to school."
"This is all because I, an old man, am too optimistic due to experience and self-confidence." Dumbledore smiled bitterly. "I originally thought that my intimidation and Scrimgeour's ability should be able to deter those guys who are ready to make a move. As a result,
I didn't expect that the Death Eaters had penetrated so deeply into the Ministry of Magic. The Ministry of Magic's control was suddenly changed, and I only had time to gather the exiles who escaped."
Ryan finally understood what was going on this time. It was not that Principal Dumbledore was unprepared. He might even have planned to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic to attack Voldemort from both front and back when Voldemort attacked the Ministry of Magic.
At least in the conflict at the end of last semester, even Voldemort personally led the Ministry of Magic to hold on for several hours. This much time was enough for Dumbledore to gather men to attack after receiving the news.
However, this time the situation suddenly changed. Under the control of internal agents, Voldemort took away the command core of the Ministry of Magic in an instant. Under such circumstances, the Ministry of Magic, which was in disarray, was naturally unable to resist Voldemort's control.
Not to mention that after the last war, Dumbledore's actions greatly reduced the living space of those pure-blood families. Therefore, after Voldemort captured the Ministry of Magic, the pure-blood families who actually controlled the Ministry of Magic simply fell over.
Voldemort established a Ministry of Magic belonging to Voldemort in a short period of time. As a result, those who were inclined to Dumbledore had no choice but to flee.
This is the fundamental reason why the current situation has collapsed. The rapid fall of the Ministry of Magic has exposed a series of problems. It took a whole week for Dumbledore to finally figure out all the problems.
The situation emerges from chaos and order is re-established.
