Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

Meanwhile, the Death Eaters, taking advantage of the Dementors' sluggishness, pushed straight through their defensive circle, heading all the way to the upper levels.

The Dementors they encountered along the way were very proactive in trying to stop them, but they couldn't cause any trouble due to the protection of the Patronus Charms.

As a result, the entire Azkaban at this time seemed to become an empty room in front of these Death Eaters, completely ignoring all guards except for the Auror sentries.

As for the remaining three Aurors, they were sitting around a bonfire in the room next to the passage leading to the top floor, leisurely drinking hot tea.

In fact, their work in Azkaban was quite easy. Apart from patrolling once a day to check for emergencies,

they would report to the Ministry of Magic headquarters and receive information. If the prisoners in the prison didn't cause trouble or get sick, they could even spend the whole day in leisure.

For example, at this moment, they were comfortably leaning on their seats playing Exploding Snap, and the three of them were in a good mood because Umbridge, the most annoying of them all, was in charge of patrolling today.

This allowed their ears to be quiet for at least a while, otherwise they would definitely be nagged by that annoying old toad for a long time.

Just as they were enjoying their afternoon leisurely, a noisy shout suddenly came from outside the room, sounding like the prisoners closest to them were causing a commotion.

"What are those prisoners yelling about? Why don't you go take a look, Slim?" An Auror frowned upon hearing the noise and turned to Slim.

"Bask, why don't you go?" Slim rolled his eyes, then turned to look at the clock next to him and muttered, "Judging by the time, Umbridge must be back from patrol. Maybe that guy said something cold to the prisoners again, making them unhappy."

"That shouldn't cause such a big commotion..." Bask frowned even deeper. "The sound seems like the entire floor of prisoners are yelling. Could something have happened?"

"What could happen? Could they escape? Wouldn't those Dementors be overjoyed?" Slim shook his head dismissively.

But the noise outside the door was indeed terribly loud, and it was even getting worse, so after muttering a sentence, he honestly stood up and poked his head out.

The location of their lounge was actually on the same corridor as the first-floor cells, so they could see the entire corridor by simply sticking their heads out.

But when Slim stuck his head out and saw the scene in front of him, he was almost scared silly. He saw a group of a dozen Death Eaters, led by Rodolphus and Bellatrix, rushing towards him. Bellatrix was even holding a pale-faced Umbridge hostage.

Behind these Death Eaters was a row of Dementors chasing after them, opening their mouths and sucking at the Death Eaters, but it was obvious to the naked eye that they were not able to exert their proper effect. Their actions of standing in place and breathing heavily made them look silly.

At the same time, on both sides of the Death Eaters, there were a large number of prisoners gathered at the fences. Some of them had never seen anyone escape from prison, so they let out bursts of exclamations, and there were even many who were cheering.

Some prisoners even shouted and begged, hoping that the Death Eaters would rescue them and take them away. Because the prisoners on this floor had relatively short sentences, there were also many wizards who shouted warnings to Slim and the other guards, trying to get their sentences reduced and be released early.

However, because there were too many wizards shouting and the sound was too noisy, Slim and the others had not heard any of the warnings before.

"Prisoners are escaping!" After seeing the group of Death Eaters clearly, Slim was stunned for a moment, then his face changed instantly, and he hurriedly shouted into the room.

At this time, the other two guards in the room did not react immediately after hearing Slim's words.

After all, Azkaban had been too peaceful for too long, and since its construction in the 15th century, there had not been a single escape incident in hundreds of years. Therefore, these guards may have never thought that they would encounter such a thing.

In addition, these guys had been in Azkaban for too long, unlike the Aurors at headquarters who often had training and tasks. Their sense of crisis was extremely poor, which caused them to be stunned in place for a few seconds before reacting.

However, the advancing Death Eaters would not give them time to prepare. These people were all on edge at this time, so after discovering someone poking their head out, they immediately launched a volley at Slim.

"Petrificus Totalus!"

"Reducto!"

"Impedimenta!"

In the blink of an eye, five or six spells came towards Slim. Fortunately, although these Death Eaters could cast spells without wands, their accuracy was relatively poor due to the lack of wands. Not to mention hitting Slim, there were not even a few spells that came close to him.

However, such an attack still gave Slim a big shock, and instantly forced him back into the room.

The advancing Death Eaters did not continue to cast spells. Their most important task now was to escape, and they also had to save as much magic power as possible, so they had not even used particularly energy-consuming dark magic before.

"What's the situation outside?"

Seeing Slim being forced back by the spell, the other two Aurors also woke up and quickly asked about the situation in the corridor.

"Wizards are escaping! Many! At least a dozen, they kidnapped Umbridge! If I didn't see wrong, the leaders are Rodolphus and Bellatrix!" Slim was frightened into a cold sweat and explained to the two in a hurried voice.

"How could they have magic power to cast spells? What are those Dementors doing?" Bask was furious. He knew that it was not one or two who escaped, but a whole dozen!

"What should we do now? We have no chance of winning against a dozen wizards! And they are holding Umbridge hostage!" The last Auror was so anxious about the situation that he was at a loss.

"We can't just let them leave. We have to fight it out no matter what." Slim gritted his teeth fiercely. "Otherwise, if the Ministry of Magic blames us, we may not just be negligent. We may even be charged with letting prisoners escape or even being accomplices!"

It should be known that more than a dozen wizards escaped at the same time, which was obviously organized. This situation easily made people think of whether there was an inside accomplice. Otherwise, how could Azkaban's strict defenses be easily broken through?

Especially those Dementors, why did they suddenly become useless to these people? If this matter is investigated, wouldn't it eventually fall on their heads?

"But Umbridge is still in their hands!" Bask also agreed with Slim's words at this time and had already drawn his wand to stand ready, but he frowned when he thought that a colleague was being held hostage.

"Where do we have time to care about her now?" Slim hurriedly said, "If Umbridge is accidentally injured because of this, then it can be considered that she has contributed to the fight against evil. Besides, who knows if these people can escape has anything to do with that guy?"

Such suspicion was not unfounded. After all, Umbridge had only been transferred to Azkaban recently. The other three had been in this position for at least several years. Slim, as a veteran, had been in office for more than ten years.

As soon as Slim's words were spoken, he immediately convinced the other two. They didn't even say a word of rebuttal.

Even, the dark side of the three people's hearts even thought that no matter whether they could stop these criminals from escaping, they might be able to shift the blame to Umbridge!

"Okay!" The last Auror, Calvo, responded, and then said, "In this way, Bask, you quickly warn headquarters, and Slim and I will try to stop these criminals!"

The two nodded immediately. Bask flipped his hand and took out a magical communicator, and anxiously dialed the Auror Command's phone.

Fortunately, the location of Azkaban was just in the North Sea, located between Britain and Northern Europe, and Silver Flash Bank had just successfully built the magic network in Northern Europe some time ago. In this way, the entire North Sea was within the coverage of the magic network, otherwise it would not be so easy for them to contact headquarters.

As soon as he connected to the Auror Command, Bask shouted loudly without even waiting for the other party to talk, "Level One Alert! Level One Alert! There are currently at least 10 heavy criminals escaping in Azkaban. They have now attacked the entrance to the top floor. We are doing our best to intercept them and request support!"

Bask repeated it several times in a row, and the operator on the other side reacted much faster than them. He immediately sounded the alarm for the entire command and quickly edited the police situation into a short message and sent it to all on-duty Aurors.

At the same time, he dialed the emergency communications of the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the Captain of the Auror Command, and the Minister of Magic. Obviously, these operators had undergone rigorous training.

On the other side, Slim and Calvo looked at each other, then resolutely pushed open the door and rushed out side by side, without even aiming, they cast spells in the direction of the other end of the corridor.

"Confringo!"

"Incendio!"

These two Aurors obviously didn't take Umbridge as a hostage at all, and didn't even care if they would cause casualties. They used extremely ruthless large-scale magic as soon as they made a move.

At this time, the Death Eater group had rushed to the exit, which was ten meters away from Slim's lounge, and was about to escape, so they had been carefully guarding against it.

Therefore, facing the sudden attack of the two Aurors, the Death Eaters reacted very quickly, but they did not expect that these Aurors would be so crazy, and their offensive would be so fierce as soon as they came up. They were holding a hostage!

"Protego Maxima!"

Faced with this situation, they naturally couldn't use Umbridge as a shield, so Rodolphus, who was holding a wand, stepped forward and blocked the two's attack with a range protection spell.
