The Admiral of Hogwarts

After learning about Harry's dream and the situation, Hugo immediately contacted the ship girls through the admiral network, and soon he obtained more information.

For example, these ship girls working in the British Ministry of Magic said that all the on-duty personnel in the Ministry of Magic tonight are pure-blood wizards, and they tried to change shifts, but were not allowed.

Obviously, this is a very clear precursor to an attack, because Voldemort hopes to transfer those in the Ministry of Magic who are not of one mind with him, so as not to have anyone get in the way during the attack.

This also explains why in the original text, Harry was able to lead a group of people straight into the core area of the Ministry of Magic. Otherwise, even if the British Ministry of Magic was incompetent, it wouldn't be possible for five or six fifth-year students to successfully penetrate so far into the Ministry of Magic.

Realizing this, Hugo immediately disguised himself and Hermione and went to Grimmauld Place, No. 12. As a result, when they arrived at the door, they unexpectedly sensed that someone was scouting there.

"Who are the people lurking nearby? Are they outposts from the Order of the Phoenix?" Hermione asked Hugo, who had used the avatar function to transform into a short-haired girl, after feeling that the line of sight was no longer focused on them.

"No, they shouldn't be outposts of the Order of the Phoenix," Hugo replied through the admiral network. "If they were outposts, they should be observing the entire situation of Grimmauld Place, not staring at the entrance of Grimmauld Place, No. 12."

"So these people are either the power of the pure-blood faction of the Ministry of Magic, or they are simply Death Eaters."

"This means that our contact with the Order of the Phoenix has been severed."

Hermione's face showed an extremely ugly expression, because the lurkers at the door represented that Voldemort and the pure-blood faction behind him had noticed this group of Order of the Phoenix members.

In this case, the Floo Network is naturally no longer safe, and the same is true for owls, so if they can't happen to meet a member of the Order of the Phoenix, it is basically impossible to pass new information in.

"Can Enterprise contact Professor McGonagall now?" Hermione suddenly thought of an important communication channel. "I think Professor McGonagall should know how to contact Dumbledore."

"Not for the time being," Hugo closed his eyes and sensed for a few seconds before shaking his head. "Because the two of us ran away with Hagrid, Professor McGonagall is being temporarily monitored by Umbridge, so I can't contact her."

"Although if we take violent means, the two hit wizards Umbridge brought from the Ministry of Magic are definitely not Enterprise's opponents, but I'm worried that this kind of trouble may attract the Dark Lord's extra attention."

"Damn it—it seems we can only find a way to monitor the entrance of the Ministry of Magic. After all, Harry and the others only know that the visitors' entrance can be used, so it's easy to monitor." Hermione said helplessly after hearing Hugo's words.

"However, it's best to find a way to get in touch with Headmaster Dumbledore and the others next. Compared to acting independently, the Order of the Phoenix should be able to give us enough help."

Unfortunately, Hugo and the others were unable to contact any member of the Order of the Phoenix for the entire next day. Salem cast a divination spell to try to figure out the situation of Dumbledore and the main force of the Order of the Phoenix, but only got very vague answers.

Obviously, Sirius Black's previous place of disappearance should be in Northern Europe, so Dumbledore followed those clues to track him down, and was trapped as a result.

Considering Voldemort's previous contacts throughout Europe and his recovery situation, Hugo suspected that he should have found a way to trap Dumbledore.

With Voldemort's level, if he doesn't pursue lethality, it may be a bit difficult to trap Dumbledore of the same level for a day, but it's definitely not impossible.

As for this change, Hugo felt that it was very likely related to himself. When he was resurrected last time, the ship girls chopped off his shoulder, so it is understandable that this head-on blow made him more cautious.

In the midst of busyness, the sky gradually darkened, and the ship girls who were preparing for tonight's operation quickly gathered in the apartment where Hugo and the others were, and then prepared dinner.

Since the core of the night battle is elite squad combat, all six ship girls who came this time are good at this kind of combat, namely Conqueror, Lion, Saint George, Salem, Stalingrad, and Richelieu.

"Now Harry and the others have set off. I installed a firefly on him. When Harry leaves Hogsmeade, we will receive a signal confirming his departure."

Just as everyone started chatting after dinner, the firefly's voice came from the admiral network. Hugo raised his head and found that the time was now 8:30 PM.

"Let's start preparing for battle," Richelieu said, standing up first, and Hugo and the others also stood up from their seats to prepare their respective weapons, put on blue robes, and put on masks.

According to everyone's speculation, Harry and the others will most likely use the Floo Network to teleport directly into the Ministry of Magic tonight, and today the Ministry of Magic will definitely not make any defenses in order to lure Harry in.

Therefore, Hugo and the others' plan is to apparate into the Ministry of Magic as soon as Harry leaves Hogsmeade, and then follow behind Harry and the others.

After all, if they go too early, it is easy to be seen through by Voldemort's ambushers, and as a result, the whole thing will get out of control, and this timing of being just behind them can avoid the opponent's monitoring focus.

Half an hour later, Hugo and the others received information from the firefly, confirming that Harry and the others had left smoothly, so after waiting another five minutes, everyone collectively apparated to the Ministry of Magic emergency landing point.

In fact, the Ministry of Magic has many entrances and various diversions, but most people still choose the Floo Network and other safer means to go to the Ministry of Magic, and only a few people apparate directly into the Ministry of Magic.

For example, Mr. Weasley apparates when he goes to the Ministry of Magic. This is not because his magic is so skilled, but to save money on Floo Powder.

Theoretically speaking, ordinary wizards can only apparate to places they can see or have been to, otherwise they cannot locate, and Hugo and the others can share Javelin's memories directly and move in because of the admiral network.

"These guys are being too blatant—" Hermione whispered as they came out of the Ministry of Magic apparition landing point and followed the corridor to the empty hall.

Previously, they learned from Javelin that a hit wizard squad would always guard the Ministry of Magic's night hall, and another hit wizard squad would patrol back and forth, but now, these two squads are nowhere to be seen.

This situation was also expected by Hugo and the others. Compared with the Aurors with high mortality rates and low promotion space, the position of hit wizard is obviously much safer, so the pure-blood infiltration is also very serious, so these people will not appear here tonight.

Eight people's messy voices echoed in the hall. Apart from that, the only sound that could be heard in the main hall was the continuous rushing sound of the Golden Fountain.

Water flowed continuously from the wands of male and female wizards, the arrows of centaurs, the tips of goblin hats, and the ears of house-elves, falling into the circular pool.

Just as Hugo and the others arrived in front of the elevators on the other side of the hall, they heard a clicking sound coming from the elevator shaft, which was very harsh. It seemed that Harry and the others were not far below Hugo and the others.
