Admiral of Hogwarts

After learning about Harry's dream and 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 staff on duty at the Ministry of Magic tonight were pure-blood wizards. They tried to change shifts, but they did not get permission.

Obviously, this is a very clear precursor to an attack, because Voldemort hopes to mobilize those people in the Ministry of Magic who are not aligned with him, so that no one will get in the way during the attack.

This can also explain why in the original text, Harry and a group of people were able to drive straight into the core area of ​​the Ministry of Magic. Otherwise, no matter how useless the British Ministry of Magic is, it would not be able to allow five or six fifth-year students to penetrate so far into the Ministry of Magic smoothly. .

After realizing this, Hugo and Hermione immediately disguised themselves and went to No. 12 Grimmauld Place. When they arrived at the door, they unexpectedly sensed someone spying around them.

"Who is being watched nearby? Is it a secret whistle from the Order of the Phoenix?" After Hermione felt that her eyes were no longer on them, she quickly asked Hugo who used the avatar function to transform into a girl with short hair.

"No, it's probably not a secret sentry from the Order of the Phoenix." Hugo also answered using the Admiral's Network. "If it was a secret sentry, it should be observing the entire Grimmauld Place situation, rather than staring at the door of No. 12 Grimmauld Place."

"So these people are either 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 had an extremely ugly expression on her face, because the stalker at the door meant that Voldemort and the pure-blood faction behind him had noticed this group of members of the Order of the Phoenix.

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

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

"Not yet." Hugo closed his eyes and felt for a few seconds before shaking his head. "Because we ran away with Hagrid, Professor McGonagall was temporarily monitored by Umbridge and cannot be contacted."

"Although the two thugs Umbridge hired from the Ministry of Magic are definitely no match for the enterprise if they use violent methods, I am worried that this extraneous matter may attract additional attention from the mysterious person."

"Damn it - it seems that we can only find a way to monitor the entrance to the Ministry of Magic. After all, Harry and the others only know that the guest passage can be used, which is convenient for monitoring." Hermione said helplessly after listening to Hugo's words.

"But it's best to find a way to get in touch with Principal Dumbledore and the others. Rather than acting independently, the Order of the Phoenix should be able to give us enough help."

Unfortunately, Hugo and the others were unable to contact anyone in the Order of the Phoenix for the next whole day. Salem used prophecy magic to try to figure out the situation of Dumbledore and the main force of the Order, but only got Very vague answer.

Obviously, the place where Sirius disappeared before should be in Northern Europe, so Dumbledore followed the information and ended up being trapped.

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

At Voldemort's level, if he didn't pursue lethality, it would be a little difficult to trap Dumbledore of the same level for a day, but it was definitely not impossible.

As for this change, Hugo felt that it was probably related to himself. The ship girls chopped off his shoulders when he was resurrected last time, so it is understandable that this head-on blow made him more cautious.

While they were busy, it was getting dark, and the shipgirls who were preparing for tonight's night operation quickly gathered in Hugo's apartment, and then prepared for dinner.

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

"Now Harry and the others are setting off. I installed a firefly on him. When Harry leaves Hogsmeade, we will receive a signal to confirm his departure."

Just when everyone was chatting after dinner, the sound of fireflies came from the Admiral's network. Hugo looked up and found that the time was now 8:30 pm.

"Let's start preparing for war." Richelieu was the first to stand up and said, and Hugo and the others also stood up from their seats, prepared their weapons, put on blue robes and masks.

According to everyone's inference, Harry and the others would most likely use the Floo network to teleport directly into the Ministry of Magic at night, and today the Ministry of Magic would definitely not make any defense in order to get Harry to take the bait.

Therefore, Hugo's plan was to apparate into the Ministry of Magic as soon as Harry left Hogsmeade, and then follow Harry and the others.

After all, if you go early, it will be easy for Voldemort's ambushes to spot the clues. As a result, the whole thing will be out of control, and this kind of front and back steps can just avoid the focus of the other party's surveillance.

Half an hour later, Hugo and the others received information from Firefly and confirmed that Harry and the others had left successfully, so after waiting for another five minutes, everyone collectively apparated to the emergency landing site of the Ministry of Magic.

In fact, the Ministry of Magic has many entrances and various diversions, but most people still choose safer means such as the Floo Network to go to the Ministry of Magic. Only a few people will disapparate directly into the Ministry of Magic.

For example, Mr. Weasley would disapparate when he went to the Ministry of Magic. This was not because he was very skilled in magic, but because he wanted to save Floo powder and save money.

Theoretically speaking, ordinary wizards can only apparate to places they can see, or to places they have been to, otherwise they cannot locate them. However, because of the Admiral's network, Hugo and the others can share the javelin and move their memories directly into it.

"This group of people did something too blatant -" Hermione sighed softly as she came out of the Phantom Row at the Ministry of Magic and walked along the corridor to the empty hall.

They had previously learned from Javelin that there was always a team of strikers guarding the night hall of the Ministry of Magic, and another team of strikers patrolling back and forth, but now, both teams were missing.

This situation was also expected by Hugo and the others. Compared with Aurors, who have high mortality and low promotion potential, the position of striker is obviously much safer, so the penetration of pure blood is also very serious, so tonight these people None of them will appear here.

The chaotic sounds of eight people echoed in the hall. Otherwise, the only sound that could be heard in the main hall was the continuous rushing of the golden fountain.

Water spurted from the wands of wizards and witches, the arrowheads of centaurs, the tips of goblin hats and the ears of house elves, and fell into the circular pool.

Just when Hugo and the others came to the elevator on the other side of the hall, they heard a rattling sound coming from the elevator passage. It was very harsh. It seemed that Harry and the others were not far below Hugo and the others. .
