Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

After Dumbledore gave a few general instructions, he walked straight through the fireplace and left.

Following Lockhart's change, the Great Arcana Council was like an awakened war machine, working closely and quickly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the "emergency weapons" at the headquarters of "The Quibbler" were assembled. Except for the night guards who were scheduled according to the original schedule, all the other wizards boarded the Hyperion and prepared murderously. Went to Armenia to perform a rescue mission.

A few minutes later, Xenophilius Lovegood heard a huge thunderous roar in the distant sky.

The huge war fortress seemed to appear suddenly, and then disappeared in an instant, and the clouds surged back crazily like the eye of hell.

In the living room of the Lovegood family, a group of "wizards in black" cadres looked at the unfathomable middle-aged wizard in front of them.

With the popularity of "The Quibbler" and the interpretations of many people in the news media, Lovegood's quotations are almost equivalent to the bible of journalism.

Compared to the young and flamboyant Gilderoy Lockhart, who rose to power with his superb memory magic, Xenophilius Lovegood, or more accurately, Mr. "The Hermit" of the Great Arcana Council , he has always been shrouded in a thick fog in the eyes of most members.

No one knows how he sorted out the reality of the world from the fragmented, seemingly unrelated information.

But all the "Wizards in Black" cadres, including Kurt Meier, understood that this was a boss who was as smart as Dumbledore.

However, at this time, Mr. "Hermit" looked at the sky and his surroundings from time to time, and seemed a little confused.

As one of the Major Arcana, Xenophilius naturally knows the position of the "Wizard in Black":

This is a branch under the mandate of destiny, mainly responsible for battlefield cleanup, internal counter-revolutionary suppression, clue destruction, reconnaissance and intelligence operations...

From the perspective of Xenophilius Lovegood, it is equivalent to an enhanced version of the Memory Cancellation Team of the Ministry of Magic, or a magical version of the National Security Council of the former Soviet Union, taking into account both combat power and a secret agent organization. This is quite an incredible armed force.

In fact, Xenophilis had raised a similar conjecture in "The Quibbler" several years ago.

In the shadow of the magical world, there must be many mysterious organizations that obey the orders of the dark forces to maintain order in the dark world.

For example, the memory cancellation team of the Ministry of Magic will probably help senior officials of the Ministry of Magic deal with some shady things besides their normal work.

And now he has actually become one of them - perhaps the largest one - the boss of the black organization? !

Xenophilius Lovegood had no doubt that any of the wizards who appeared in his living room waiting for orders could probably remove his wand within five spells and turn him into a decryptor. A poor tool who can't think of anything other than words.

Although he has provided a lot of guidance on "The Quibbler" before, he has never been the boss of a black organization!

What if there is a traitor here?What if someone disobeys the order and questions it?

The most important thing is, if Gilderoy Lockhart never comes back...won't he have to do this forever? !

As the clock ticked, a buzzing commotion began to appear among the cadres of "wizards in black" standing quietly in the living room of Lovegood's house.

Unlike wizards in other business lines, as a field department directly under Gilderoy Lockhart, within 10 minutes of Lockhart destroying his Major Arcana badge, all members of the "Wizards in Black" Everyone was notified - because "The Hanged Man" was suspected of encountering an emergency of level [-] or above, the "Hanged Man"'s authority within the organization was completely frozen, and the supreme command of the black wizard was reassigned by the Grand Arcana Council.

No one knew exactly what happened, but the depression of the impending storm explained a lot in silence.

War may be about to break out.

Several "Black Wizard" cadres standing at the front of the crowd exchanged glances.

After waiting for a few more seconds, Kurt Meyer couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Hermit, what should we do now?"

Several old wizards with gray hair next to him also frowned and responded anxiously:

"Yes, Mr. Hanged Man's life and death are unknown now. The enemy and the battle situation are all a mystery to us. Maybe the Hyperion can win for us, but when we go to clean up the mess, we will not be able to win. As for reciting the Forgetting Curse one by one?"

"Yes, even if you use memory magic indiscriminately, you still need to know the specific scope of erasing memory and the direction of modification..."

"Before taking action, Mr. 'The Hanged Man' will distribute the written script to us..."

"Information reconnaissance of the surrounding environment and warning missions are not available this time..."

"After all, we haven't even determined our imaginary enemy yet..."

Everyone was talking a lot. They saw that Xenophilius Lovegood had not spoken and seemed to acquiesce to everyone's discussion, so many senior cadres began to discuss it seriously.Although Lockhart is the supreme commander of the "Wizard in Black", he is only responsible for the general direction of leadership. In the process of some small and medium-sized tasks and long series of operations, it is more up to these cadres to make their own decisions.

After a few minutes, the backbone of these "wizards in black" quickly locked onto the core issue of the moment.

"We must first determine who the enemy is, otherwise any discussion will be meaningless."

"How to determine? Guess the name? Or just mark the entire area?"

"There's nothing wrong with it! The Armenian magic world is included in this list. Since we are imaginary enemies anyway, we will definitely not miss anyone!"

"Since the Hyperion recovery project began, we have been extremely cautious every step of the way. Who would have known that the odds of winning in a direct fight are not low, but if a large-scale conflict does break out, do you want to see the third Wizarding War? Take it all. Come on, then you will be a war criminal!"

"Am I a war criminal? The Major Arcana may have been tortured by the enemy long ago and is ready to destroy the body and eliminate all traces——"

In a short period of time, the fierce quarrel broke out again.

This is almost the daily routine of the hawks and doves. In the process of arguing and taking sides, more senior cadres were still looking at the "hermit" man who seemed to be wandering outside. At this moment, the room Suddenly a fire appeared in the center, and a golden-red feather fell lightly.

Immediately afterwards, dazzling sparks suddenly bloomed under everyone's gaze, turning into a small note and floating into Xenophilius's hand.

It is obvious that as the Hyperion arrives at the "frontline battlefield" for the second time, so does Dumbledore's message.

Xenophilius Lovegood subconsciously reached out, took the small note, and quickly opened it and read it.

"Werewolf. Lockhart's whereabouts are unknown. Wizards are suspected to be involved, and his power is unknown."

There wasn't much information on the note, just a few short lines of words.

This is not because Albus Dumbledore is being mysterious, but mainly because a phoenix tail feather can only carry so much content - this is the fastest and longest journey across thousands of kilometers without disturbing any magic network. A safe way to communicate.

"A werewolf force, but that shouldn't be the case. With that gentleman's ability, he can at least protect himself and escape."

"Didn't you hear that there are wizards involved? This may be a trap for the Hanged Man."

"Well, but after all, we still haven't said anything... How do we know who the enemy is?"

"That's right! What's the scope? Even if you want to gather information and prepare for the aftermath, what's the scope?!"

Several old wizards frowned and continued to discuss loudly.

They began to wonder if Mr. "Hermit" was still asleep.

At this moment, Xenophilius Lovegood suddenly knocked on the table, seeming to have made up his mind.
