There are few pedestrians on St. Paul's Avenue in the early morning of winter. It is a Sunday after Christmas. The sun has not yet come out, and the night fog has not yet cleared. There are sporadic rain and some snow.

A newspaper vendor was struggling to move the newly delivered newspapers out of the kiosk. The newspapers had not been separated and were still bundled in piles with hemp rope, smelling like ink. The first page on the top was in enlarged black bold It reads "U.S. Otswald Maximum Security Prison Riot|Riot Quiet".

A pedestrian hurried past a peddler carrying newspapers. He was a tall man, wearing a long black trench coat with the collar turned up to cover his face, and hurried on his way with his head down.When passing by the newsstand, he unconsciously glanced at the stack of newspapers, and his eyes were like a green veil flicking across the paper.

The man strode past the vendors and passed the red newsstands.Then, after walking a distance, he stopped suddenly.

The peddler heard the footsteps getting louder again, and subconsciously raised his head to see the man who had just passed by coming back again. He took off the collar of the windbreaker that blocked his face, revealing a pale face with a pair of green eyes fixed on him. Looking at the newspaper that the peddler had just opened: "What kind of newspaper is this?" He didn't seem to care about the question at all, just asked casually, and before the peddler could answer, he bent down and dropped a banknote, picked up a copy and left: "Don't look for it." .”

The peddler blankly picked up the banknotes that could buy several copies of the same newspaper, touched his head with the woolen cap, looked at the young man who was walking away quickly, and muttered, "Weird."

Walter knew that his behavior just now was very abrupt, but now he couldn't care less about whether Muggles would find it strange.His heart was pounding, and he found a secluded place to quickly scan the words on the newspaper. He thought he had read it wrong, and he would inevitably be disappointed again. This thought made him tremble uncontrollably, and his fingers holding the newspaper trembled. Especially powerful.

No no……

no……

Did he really get it wrong?Walter's pale face seemed to be even paler. The fine rain mixed with snow soon made this fresh newspaper a little damp. The smell of ink made him dizzy. Of course, it may also be because he did not sleep.

Suddenly, Walter's eyes lit up.He found the name!

Tom Riddle!

He couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe that he was right, he couldn't believe that a news report about a Muggle prison in the United States had this name, he couldn't believe that the owner's name appeared in a Muggle newspaper!But, yes, Tom Riddle, that's the name!

He traced the name with trembling fingers and took a deep breath of cold air, which calmed him down a little and he could read what was written in the newspaper.

The riot at the Otswald high-security prison was led by five inmates who were...among them, Ryan O'Reilly's partner, Tom Riddle...

In the report that took up the entire front page, his master's name appeared only once, but this time was enough!

Tears quickly filled Walter's eyes.He felt like he couldn't breathe!

How long have they been looking for the Dark Lord?One month, two months, three months... No news for a full six months!They couldn't believe that their master was killed by Dumbledore, so they could only continue to search aimlessly. During this period, many people were sent to Azkaban under the cooperation of the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix, and some The Ministry of Magic had to act more cautiously, which also made their search more difficult.

However, they have only been looking for it in the magic world!They searched every nook and cranny of the entire continent of Europe, and even secretly went to the American magic world to find traces of their masters, and they were about to go to the mysterious East.But, still not.

The master completely disappeared from this world as if he had entered the death curtain of a mysterious office.

Who would have thought, who would have thought that he was imprisoned by Dumbledore in a Muggle prison?It's still the United States on the other side of the ocean!When they searched before, they even broke into Nurmengard to find the Duke. For this reason, they did not hesitate to conflict with the saints, and finally fled in embarrassment under the threat of a generation of devil Grindelwald...

Now, he has finally found the Duke... The difficult days are finally coming to an end...

Ward took another deep breath, folded the crumpled newspaper that he had just gripped tightly, and stuffed it into his pocket, where his wand was still in it.

Standing on the deserted streets of London, I unbuttoned my windbreaker and let the wind blow for a while to calm my brain down.The tears in Ward's eyes had disappeared, he buttoned up his clothes again, turned up his collar, and turned towards Diagon Alley: he couldn't wait to tell the news to his companions, they were going to rescue the Duke immediately Come out, how could the Dark Lord of the wizarding world be imprisoned in a Muggle prison!

Orion Black was quite taken aback when he was informed by the house-elf that Mr. Gamp had visited.In this era when the Dark Lord disappeared and the Death Eaters had to keep their tails between their legs, it was rare for former colleagues to visit directly like this without prior notice.

Unlike his happy wife, Orion asked the house-elf calmly: "Just Mr. Gump? No one else?"

The elf nodded, and answered his master softly, "Pam didn't see anyone else with Mr. Gamp."

Orion frowned, and his wife urged him beside him: "What are you still hesitating about, Orion? He must be in a hurry."

That's right, how could he just ignore the eyeliner of the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic?

Orion waved irritably and asked the elf to take the guests to the living room, and he and his wife immediately changed their clothes and went.

As soon as they saw Ward Gump, Walburga Black couldn't help screaming: "Merlin! Ward, why are you wearing Muggle clothes!" Walburga is now the most hated of the entire Black family Muggle people, none of them.She was an even more staunch purist than her husband.

That's why she was never allowed to join the Death Eaters.Ward thought contemptuously in his heart, what the master needs is an elite who can open up territory for him and fight against the Order of the Phoenix, not a crazy noble like this who only insists on blood and doesn't care about talent.

Fortunately, the Blake family also has a calmer and more rational head of the writer, Orion.

Thinking of this, Ward didn't care about Walburga looking at him with disgust - as if he was wearing Muggle clothes and polluted the whole house as soon as he walked in, he took the newspaper out of his pocket and went straight Handed it to Orion, and at the same time politely asked Mrs. Black: "Can I talk to Orion alone?"

This of course made Walburga very unhappy. She glared at Ward and accused him unceremoniously: "You are a bit too rude today, Mr. Gump."

Normally, Ward would be happy to say a few nice words to coax her, but today's matter is really urgent, and he doesn't intend to disclose this matter to anyone who is not a Death Eater, including Walburga, whom he trusts very much. So he answered her bluntly: "Yes, please forgive me, Walburga."

Walburga snorted and walked away with his skirt in his hands. Orion did not prevent his wife from leaving. On the contrary, as soon as Walburga walked out of the living room, he gently waved his wand to close the door of the living room while several barriers prevented her from leaving. The magic of eavesdropping went on, and he didn't look at Ward until these were done: "What did you find?"

He shook the Muggle newspaper in his hand and said, "Muggle clothes and newspapers, you should be glad that Walburga didn't notice just now, otherwise you might feel the feeling of being kicked out by the Black family."

Ward knew that he was joking, but he still touched his nose and said, "I didn't have time to change my clothes. You look at the home page carefully. It's the news about the prison riot|riot."

Orion walked to a sofa and sat down, shook out the newspaper and read it carefully.Ward took advantage of this moment to drink a glass of water from the teacup on the table, and then paced back and forth in the room.

After about 10 minutes, Orion finally finished watching.He closed the newspaper and looked at Ward: "I saw it, so?"

"So?" Ward ran up to him and shouted excitedly, "Of course I rushed to the United States immediately to rescue the master!"

Orion sighed, and pressed his temples with his hands: "Do you think it will be that simple? Our previous actions to search for the Duke in the American magic community have already aroused the vigilance of the US Ministry of Magic. I guarantee that the Order of the Phoenix was actually there at that time." Staring at our every move, not to mention that there is a traitor among us who betrayed the Duke... Do you think we can really rush to that prison and bring the master out like this?"

A big bucket of cold water was poured on his head, and Ward was a little dumbfounded. He found that he was indeed overjoyed because he knew the master's information.Both he and Orion knew that there was a traitor who betrayed the master, and that traitor was probably one of the most trusted friends of the master before the accident. It was because of the existence of that person that Dumbledore was able to catch the master and put him Send them to places that none of them can imagine.Now many loyal Death Eaters have been arrested, and many of them are under the surveillance of the Ministry of Magic. Orion cannot leave. He wants to preside over the overall situation here, because of his existence before. Death Eaters The interior was not chaotic, otherwise, on the day the owner was found missing, some fanatics would go crazy and catch the wizard everywhere to ask.

That is to say, not to mention other things, just that they have very few candidates to save the Duke now.Not to mention that they want to break through the British Ministry of Magic, the US Ministry of Magic, and the Order of the Phoenix secretly to break into the Muggle prison and rob people.

He still knew the power of Muggle firearms.Ordinary black wizards really have nothing to fight against dozens of guns.

"So, this matter requires a long-term plan." Orion got up and poured himself a glass of water to moisten his throat, "It can't be too slow, if you can see this news by chance, then others can too. The Order of the Phoenix is ​​mainly composed of half-bloods and Muggle wizards, they have a greater chance of finding out than us. If it is too slow, it is estimated that when we arrive, the master has already been sent to other places."

"...Damn Dumbledore! Damn Order of the Phoenix!" Ward cursed angrily after being speechless.

"I think the most important thing for us now is to meet the master first. At that time, no matter what method we use to leave the contact method, we won't be afraid of Dumbledore's transfer." Orion thought for a while and said, "You can go first People go, bring at most one more person, no more. If there are more, people will notice."

"Also, remember to bring the potion you prepared earlier to unlock the spell of the seal. Find a way to send the potion there after seeing the master. Once the master recovers the magic power, it will be much easier." Orion added road.

"Okay." Ward nodded and agreed, "I'm going to the United States right away... How about I use Muggle transportation directly? This way I can avoid the review of the Ministry of Magic."

"Of course." Orion was very satisfied with his idea, "But be careful with the Ministry of Magic over there, I will cover you for a while, although it won't last too long."

"It's okay, I heard that Muggles have very fast transportation now. By the way, don't tell Malfoy this news."

Orion frowned and looked at Ward puzzled: "Why do you always dislike him?"

Ward shrugged: "I don't know, maybe it's intuition? I always think that if there is such a traitor, Malfoy is very likely."

"...It doesn't make sense. One of the people the master trusts the most is Malfoy. They have been friends since they were in school. Abraxas was the Duke's first friend at Hogwarts. The Malfoy family also helped the master No matter in terms of emotions or interests, he has no reason to betray."

"So it's intuition. In short, only the two of us know about this matter for the time being. When I contact the master, I will know who the traitor is."

"……it is good."

At the same time, in Oz Prison on the other side of the ocean, Warden Green announced to the prisoners that the results of the previous investigative committee were that no one was responsible for Rose's death, and that Emerald City would reopen after Mike Manus was discharged from the hospital. Will return to the Emerald City.

The prisoners who heard the news talked about it, and the prisoners in other districts all cheered happily. The departure of the people from Emerald City meant that their territory finally didn't have to be so urgent.You must know that there are many ruthless characters in Emerald City, which makes these prisoners very afraid.

Tom, one of these ruthless characters, leaned his head on the railing, yawned and felt that Mike Manus was really caught in the door, and he refused to give up even after being shot. Should he praise his persistence or laugh at it? An idiot?Still, the Emerald City would be pretty boring without Hannibal Lecter.At least he's bored right now.

What he didn't know was that the "gift" that Dr. Lecter had prepared for him before he left was also told that when the Emerald City was rebuilt, he would go to the open prison.

Listening to the guard's announcement behind him, Francis Dollard didn't look back, and continued to lie on the bed and stare at the ceiling. He was a very handsome young man, but the cleft lip ruined a lot of his handsomeness.He grinned when he heard that he could go to the rebuilt Oz, the twisted opening in his upper lip was the scar from his cleft lip surgery, and he murmured obsessively at a point in the air To himself: "Dr. Lecter is right, he already guessed this."

The author has something to say: the HP world should be Abraxas and their generation are still alive, Lucius Bella and others are all children
