This place has changed...

Looking at the slightly depressed Diagon Alley, Hermione couldn't help but sigh with emotion. A week after returning to London, Hermione had already given up her will to live in the Muggle world.

This is something that cannot be helped, whether it is a hurricane or a broken bridge, these are not things that a Muggle can bear.

Hermione was very afraid of what she would bring to the people around her because of her identity, especially after the news of Voldemort's return was announced, the activities of the Death Eaters became more and more rampant.

This made the girl very worried. These Death Eaters were not other wizards. Their attitude towards Muggles didn't care about their life or death at all, especially for a wizard from a Muggle family like her.

This identity...

It has indeed changed. Fan Lin nodded.

Not long after the news was announced, Diagon Alley became empty.

This is not a safe place now, whether it is the threat from the Death Eaters, or more directly, the pressure from Voldemort, which forces the wizards present to make a choice.

Stay here, or leave before the war has fully unfolded.

Obviously, Fudge's Ministry of Magic is no longer able to protect them. Naturally, using one's own power to protect oneself has become an urgent matter. However, facing the huge number of Death Eaters and the unforgettable vampires at the Quidditch World Cup ...

Of course, this is not something that ordinary wizards can resist if they want to.

Naturally, more people will choose to leave.

The way of survival is not just resistance.

Let's go, I don't think we will gain anything today. Fan Lin shook his head, ready to leave.

Sir, do you need a newspaper? A newspaper boy ran over quickly, which surprised Fan Lin. He didn't expect that there were still people selling the Daily Prophet on the street during this period.

However, the Ministry of Magic always needs to promote their ideas, and naturally, newsboys can't help it.

Okay, thank you. Fan Lin handed the other party a few copper Knuts, and then reached out to take a copy of the latest Daily Prophet.

It read in large headlines: Scrimgeour to succeed Fudge!

This is what Fan Lin expected.

In fact, it was the same in the past, making different choices naturally has the corresponding results,

If Fudge had chosen to believe in Dumbledore as always, perhaps until today, he would still be the Minister of Magic, but now it seems that Scrimgeour will do better than him.

Regarding Scrimgeour, Fan Lin still had a certain impression that the main battle faction had contact with him during the Quidditch World Cup.

Speaking of which, he is still a difficult person to control, and in some respects, his ideas are often opposed to those of the Order of the Phoenix.

It's not a good candidate, but right now, there are very few people who dare to oppose Voldemort and have the right to be Minister of Magic.

Dumbledore is not suitable either, the Ministry of Magic is really a bit complicated, and the nails planted by the Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic will not allow such a thing to happen.

...

Fan Lin focused his attention on the Daily Prophet.

A large portion of the front page was taken up by a black-and-white photo of a man with lion hair and a bruised face. The photo is animated—the man is waving to the ceiling. Rufus Scrimgeour, former head of the Auror Office of the Law Enforcement Division, has succeeded Cornelius Fudge as Minister for Magic.

This appointment was very popular in the wizarding society, but within a few hours of his inauguration, there was a feud between Albus Dumbledore, who had just resumed the seat of chief wizard of the Wizengamot, and him. Rumors surfaced. A spokesman for Scrimgeour acknowledged he met with Dumbledore immediately after becoming minister, but declined to comment on the topics they discussed.

Albus Dumbledore (turned down to the third page, second column) There is also a folded newspaper on the left side of this one, on which you can see a report titled Ministry of Magic Keeps Students Safe.

Rufus Scrimgeour, the newly appointed Minister of Magic, said today that they will take strong measures to ensure that students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry can return to school safely this autumn.

For reasons known to the Ministry of Magic, the details of this intensive security program will not be released, the minister said, but we have been able to confirm from informed sources that these measures included a number of defensive spells, a complex set of counter spells and a A task force dedicated to the safety of Hogwarts students, made up entirely of Aurors.

Most were reassured by the new minister's firm stance on student safety. Mrs. Augusta Longbottom said, My grandson Neville - he is a good friend of Harry Potter, by the way, he was with Harry fighting the Death Eaters at the Ministry of Magic last June -

If being locked up in a dungeon is considered confrontation... Fan Lin shook his head helplessly. Along the way, after apparating, the two of them had returned to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix before they knew it.

Sirius has left here, and he still has a lot of new jobs, such as solving some troubles, or continuing to search for Voldemort's hiding place.

This is especially important for their family.

Cappadocia fell into a deep sleep, because of the identity of a vampire, deep sleep does not mean death, but it will not bring them any help.

Of course, there are other things.

For example, the other thing Voldemort was looking for in the Ministry of Magic was mentioned in the correspondence with Harry two days ago.

But now it seems that there is a high probability that Voldemort has been found, otherwise he would not have been hiding in such a safe place. Apart from a few dead dark wizards, there is no other news at all.

However, Fan Lin still wanted to go to the Department of Mysteries to find out, but he hesitated about the status of the Department of Mysteries. Even Fudge has no right to allow non-related personnel to search the Department of Mysteries, and there are still several portals that cannot Open it, even Dumbledore cannot force it in. After all, the boundary between life and death is there. It is very simple to solve a wizard. Even if Fan Lin believes that Dumbledore will still have the ability to come back after crossing the portal, But Dumbledore didn't force it.

According to Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic should have secrets and considerations belonging to the Ministry of Magic...

However, Fan Lin felt that Dumbledore felt that they couldn't get anything more from the Ministry of Magic. Even Harry didn't know what Voldemort was looking for, and if they just guessed, they obviously had nothing to do with headless flies. What difference.

It's not Neville's fault. Hermione rolled her eyes and said angrily, Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. Tarfel is a Death Eater too.

Oh, of course, Fan Lin nodded. Although he had no contact with Tafur, he was able to replace Umbridge and lurk in the Ministry of Magic. Fan Lin still recognized Tafur's ability, but according to Ha According to Li's description, Taver is very beautiful, but there is something abnormal in his heart.

shake……

Shaking, just like Bellatrix, both of them like the Cruciatus Curse.

After going upstairs, he put the newspaper on his phone, and Kreacher put the brewed tea on the table next to Fan Lin.

Thank you, Kreacher! Fan Lin said, Where's Dobby?

Dobby and Winky are out, two house-elf...

Oh, don't say that, Kreacher! Hermione frowned, Actually, you can...forget it...

Hermione didn't say much, Kreacher just bowed and slowly exited the room.

what is that? Fan Lin saw something on the table, a purple brochure, which read: Published with the authorization of the Ministry of Magic

I don't know, Hermione picked it up, flipped through it briefly, and then read it out.

Protect you and your family from dark forces The magical society is currently threatened by an organization calling itself the Death Eaters. Following these simple safety rules will help protect yourself and your family from attacks...  

1. Don't leave home alone.

2. Pay special attention at night. No matter where you are, try to end your journey outside before dark.

3. Review the safety facilities around the house and make sure every family member knows what to do in case of an emergency. For example: the Iron Armor Curse and the Illusion Curse, and for underage family members, there are magic spells.

4. Establish security questions with your family members and close friends to prevent Death Eaters from using Polyjuice Potion to disguise themselves as other people. (see the second page for details)

5. If you feel that your family members, colleagues, friends or neighbors have some abnormal behavior, immediately inform the Magical Law Enforcement Team, they are very likely under the Imperius Curse. (see page four).

6. If the Dark Mark appears anywhere, do not go in and contact the Auror office immediately.

7. Unconfirmed sightings suggest that the Death Eaters may be using Infinity. Anyone who sees Infinity, or anything similar, should report it to the Ministry of Magic immediately.

I bet no one would do this. Except for a few people, some ordinary wizards would just choose to leave here. Fan Lin said lightly, and then threw the Ministry of Magic's brochure to the table next to him. superior.

So, it's time for a war, isn't it?

I'm afraid that's the case. Fan Lin said pretending to be relaxed, as if he wanted to dispel the worry on Hermione's face, but it didn't help, some things couldn't be resolved by his negation.

So, that person, I mean... the missing member of the Order of the Phoenix, is... is she dead?

I'm afraid that's the case. Fan Lin said, Actually, we found her body at the Muggle Prime Minister. She was killed by Death Eaters. Maybe they wanted to control the Muggle Prime Minister...

Control the Muggle Prime Minister, what do they want to do?

I don't know, maybe it's paralyzing the Muggle society. In fact, they have succeeded. If there is no accident, there is an official of the Muggle government in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic and Magic. This is what Kingsley told me Yes, not long ago, Fudge and Scrimgeour went to meet the Muggle Prime Minister and informed them of Voldemort's return, and now Kingsley is mainly responsible for the Muggle Prime Minister's safety.

How could they do that, I mean...it's a wizarding world thing...

Hermione felt a little bad. She had tried her best to avoid more contact with Muggle families, but in fact, this couldn't change anything at all.

But they originally wanted to enslave Muggles, and controlling a leader is obviously an effective way. This is not difficult for wizards. Fortunately, every Muggle prime minister has good security. Since the magic Since the establishment of the Ministry, they have not relaxed their surveillance on the Muggle Prime Minister, especially in this bad period. Fan Lin touched his nose, Kingsley told me that the Muggle Prime Minister is now forbidden to leave the Ministry of Magic's sight , is equivalent to imprisonment, but no matter what, this is the fate of the Muggle Prime Minister. In the face of Voldemort, Muggles simply cannot resist...

Hermione's expression was a little gloomy, and the situation was getting worse day by day, which was really hard for a girl to accept.

Okay, Hermione, as long as we hit him, everything will be resolved smoothly...

It's hard!... Hermione said with her head down, But I trust you.

Hermione said, hugging Fan Lin.

Feeling each other's body temperature seems to calm down all the bad moods, but it doesn't really solve the problem.

Master Fan Lin, Master Fan Lin...

Dobby's voice sounded out of place behind Fan Lin.

In fact, every time you see Dobby, it can bring different joys to others, especially Dobby's strange outfit.

The scarf Hermione gave Dobby hangs slantly over the shoulders of the house-elf. The socks of different colors, if Fan Lin read correctly, are human stockings, but to Dobby they are really Too long, the end of the sock was above Dobby's knee, the gray jumpsuit...

Well, it's not certain, but a bunch of messy cloth strips became Dobby's clothes, and the only thing that looked normal was the little brown leather shoes that Mr. Al gave Dobby.

The baby style, even so, doesn't fit Dobby's feet very well. Fan Lin doubts that Dobby's leather shoes will be thrown off if he walks with his legs open.

And Winky behind Dobby is still the same, just like when she just came out of Barty Crouch's house, Winky still hasn't given up on Barty Crouch's clothes, even though she is with Dobby now for Fan Lin and Hogwarts work.

What's the matter, Dobby? Hermione hastily let go of Fan Lin and gave him a push. Even if she ran into a house elf, the break in the warm environment and conditioned reflex would always make Hermione feel a little bit Not very comfortable.
