The vast, blue sea meets the blue sky on the far horizon, and the warm sunshine nearby shines on the blue and white 'Dalmink' yacht.A little girl at the bow of the boat is leaning against the side of the boat in the golden sunlight and on the blue sea, seriously looking at the travel brochure in her hand.

She was wearing a pair of green leather shoes, wearing a pink bubble chiffon skirt, her shiny black hair was combed behind her head and tied into a ponytail with a green ribbon. Black-rimmed glasses.The pink dress made the little girl look thinner and petite. This is Maybelle Dalton who came to Germany for vacation.

"Herggard is a German island located in the southeast of the North Sea in Europe, belonging to the state of Taintuta-Steite.

The southeast is 185 kilometers away from Cuxhaven.The area is 2.85 square kilometers.In 1980, the population was 2, and now there are only 300 people left, mainly engaged in the tourism industry.Belongs to the marine climate, there are beaches, tourist resorts.There is a nature reserve for birds and animals on the island. ..."

After reading the introduction of Heiggard Island, Mel smiled mischievously, took out his military binoculars and looked at the small island in the distance.

Heiggard Island floated alone in the distance, but looking into Mel's black pupils, he could clearly see two islands.How is this going?Could it be Mel's eyesight?

From the pocket of the pink chiffon skirt, Mel took out a 16-carat parchment, which looked like it was torn from some book.

Looking at the rough edge of the torn parchment, Mel stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, so that Mrs. Pince, the librarian at Hogwarts, must eat her.

There is a map drawn on the parchment. There are two small islands on it. One is Hegorgard Island in the sea. What about the other one?Of course, Heiggard Island originally consisted of two islands, the north and the south, but Muggles couldn't see the other island.

The South Island has a large area and gentle terrain, and it is a resort for recuperation and tourism. The North Island is small in size and steep, and it is the Nurmengard Wizard Prison, which is named after the Azkaban Wizard Prison.

This is also the destination of Mel, the location of Gellert Grindelwald, the protagonist of the 'Dark Lord's Liberation Project' that she planned for a year.

The North Island of Heiggard Island has been enchanted with a lot of magic, not to mention ordinary people can't see it, even ordinary wizards can't break in.However, this time is not necessarily the case. Mel looks mysteriously at the old-fashioned steamship 'Victoria' tied behind the 'Dalmink'. Now it is up to her to break this myth!

The yacht soon arrived at the destination, and Mr. Dalton greeted Mel to get off the boat and stay at the hotel on the South Island.The proprietress here was very hospitable, and Mel followed her to choose her own room, and then told her father that she was very tired from playing in Berlin and wanted to rest for a while, and would wake her up at dinner time.

The dinner was very sumptuous. Mel ate and drank in disregard of his image, making the proprietress very happy, and even specially sent Meldo a dessert.Mr. Dalton was quite embarrassed, "Mel, can't our family afford you?"

After hearing this, Mel smiled back at Mr. Dalton, and then buried herself in eating. She didn't know what was going on, and she was always very hungry during this time.

After eating, Mel took the remaining dessert back to the room, saying it was a snack, and Mr. Dalton was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

Back in the room, Mel called out "Mimi!", and the house elf appeared in front of Mel, and Mel brought the snack to Mimi, "Eat quickly, Mimi!"

Mimi thanked her when she arrived, and began to eat unceremoniously, she was starving.

Mel felt a little guilty looking at the elf. At noon, they were busy returning to the ship, so they couldn't deliver food to Mimi who was hiding on the 'Victoria', and Mimi had a slight seasickness.

Mimi was brought here secretly by Mel, and everything was just for this evening!Originally Mel wanted Mimi to wait for her to arrive in England before summoning Mimi, but thinking that summoning Mimi here would be beyond the scope of Apparition, when Mimi Apparates over, she might fall into the sea halfway drowned, so Mel smuggled it over.

After watching Mimi have dinner, Mel asked Mimi to rest in her room first, and they set off together at three o'clock in the morning, because that is the time when people are most sleepy and their vigilance is most relaxed, and of course it is also the best time to rob prison.

Mel accompanied her dad for a walk on the beach by the sea with the cool sea breeze blowing, and then went back to the room to go to bed. She lay on the bed feeling like she had just squinted for a while before she was woken up.

Putting on dark gray sportswear and backpacks that had been prepared earlier, the two tiptoed across the corridor, bent over to avoid the dozing hotel attendant, gently pushed open the door, and ran out quickly.

Along the way, Mel's nervous heart was pounding. After they ran aboard the 'Victoria', Mel put his heart in his stomach.

The magic defenses of Nurmengard Wizarding Prison are as perverted as those of Hogwarts. Those modern ships loaded with electronic equipment will fail and be expelled if they get close to it. That's why Mel asked Dad to get her here. This old ship has only one coal-fired steam boiler.

She and Mimi quickly fired up the boiler. Fortunately, Mimi had cast a silent spell on it beforehand, otherwise the noise from this old boiler alone would be enough to wake up the whole island.

The fire was burning hotter and hotter, and the steamboat started with a clang.

"I gotta say you're doing a great job, Mel!"

"Of course!" Mel responded proudly with a few soot on his face, and then froze, Mel's face was pale by the fire.

"Dad!" Mel lowered his head and turned to face Mr. Dalton, "I was wrong!"

Mimi beside her is almost shaking like a sieve!

Mr. Dalton ignored her, passed her and sat down by the boiler.

"Purpose, Mel!"

"Go to Nurmengard Wizard Prison to save people!" Mel replied quickly, with a voice no louder than a mosquito, "There is another island behind this island, which cannot be seen by ordinary people, and the person I want to save is there!"

"A nice guy?"

"...No—" Mel flinched.

"Do you have a reason why you must save him?"

"Yes!" Mel replied in a low voice but firmly, "I need his help, and I think saving him and letting him help me is more atonement for him than locking him in a cold cell to die of old age."

"Do you think you did something wrong, Mel!"

"I-I-" Mel murmured for a moment, "I did nothing wrong, I am doing my best to save and help more people."

"Then why don't you raise your head, Mel!" Mr. Dalton yelled from above, "Since you have no shame, you should hold your head up! The Dalton family are not cowards! "

"Yes! Father!" Mel puffed up his chest and looked at his father firmly.

Looking at the villain in front of him, Mr. Dalton calmed down, and lovingly touched her cheek, "Hacking a wizard prison? Mel, you are only 13 years old! Are you sure?"

"Yeah!" Mel, with his heart in his stomach, grabbed his father's hand, nodded vigorously, and smiled mischievously: "I've been planning for this for a year, and I experimented with Hogwarts' defense system , absolutely no problem”

"Father, aren't you angry with me?"

"Of course I'm mad at you!" Mr. Dalton pretended to be angry with a straight face, "So when you come back, I'm going to spank your little ass hard!"

Mel felt relieved after hearing this, and laughed happily!

"Do you need me to help you?"

Mel hurriedly shook his head, "No need for father! I've made all the preparations! Everything is under control!"

"Okay! You go."

"Yes, father!" Mel gave a military salute to Mr. Dalton, watched his father disembark, and started the steamboat with Mimi to head for North Island.

"Sir? Don't you want to stop Miss?" Joey and Mr. Dalton, who were waiting under the boat, watched the 'Victoria' leave silently.

"No, Mel is a very smart child, she knows what she wants! And she's still underage, even if she fails, it's me, the guardian, who will be held accountable. Don't worry, old man!"

"Sir, you're spoiling Miss Meyer like this!"

"Joy, she is my everything!" After speaking, Mr. Dalton turned away from the coast and walked towards the hotel.

The weather is fine tonight. Although there is no moon, there are stars all over the sky embedded in the dark sky.Mel was content with the weather, the visibility was just right, neither blinding nor being easily spotted.

Mimi was driving the boat, with Mel directing, and they soon arrived not far from North Island.

Mel looked at the elf lying on the big rudder, and smiled unkindly. This made the people of the Biological Conservation Society see that not only was she abusing endangered creatures, but fortunately, the elf could use magic to drive this small boat. The steamship is still more than capable.

Mel opened the magic defense map of Nurmengard Wizard Prison she had drawn long ago, took out the magic compass she bought from Diagon Alley, and adjusted the angle.

"Mimi, 20 on the port side, adjust the speed to 10 kilometers per hour, cross the South Island and then descend slowly."

Then she blew out the lamp, leaned over to the window, and the dark shadow of Nurmengard had entered their sight.

Nurmengard's defense system has a very large range, almost covering the entire island and extending into the sea, of course it's only 'almost'. When Mel was researching its defense system, he discovered that there was a protruding promontory in the direction of its 6 o'clock , is □outside the defense system, this is Mel's foothold.

Mimi slowly leaned the boat to the promontory, Mel took the backpack and Mimi jumped onto the huge rock.

Fortunately, the sea breeze tonight is very small and has no effect on their actions. Mel watched Mimi fix the boat and start to move. In the darkness, she stretched out her hand, spread her five fingers, and walked slowly towards Nurmengard. .

One step, two steps, three steps, ... ten steps, very good!Sensing it, Mel stopped and put both palms on the invisible magic defense.This is a new use of her magic that Mel discovered when experimenting with the defense system of Hogwarts, which saved her from going to Knockturn Alley to buy that particularly expensive magic detector.She slowly felt the magic composition on the magic barrier, including Muggle repelling spells, anti-infestation spells, magic defense spells, special wizard identification spells, danger intrusion warning spells,,,, Mel blah blah, used 34 kinds Defensive spell.

Fortunately, it was all the spells she had researched, and there was nothing unexpected, otherwise Mel would have to use 'Plan [-]'!

Now these spells are all within her expectations, as long as there is no problem in the implementation, it should be easy to succeed according to the relatively simple 'Plan [-]'.

Mel opened the small backpack behind her, and all the things she prepared were here!
