It's easier said than done, the defense system of the Ministry of Magic has begun to limit the mobilization of Dumbledore's magic power, and he began to appear in a hurry under the attack of Voldemort, not only to fight against a wizard of the same strength, but also to guard against the defense magic of the Ministry of Magic. Attack - Unlike Hogwarts, the defense magic of the Ministry of Magic is supported by a complete energy supply system. Although the attacks issued are not fancy at all, they are all powerful.

Lockhart realized that Dumbledore needed help. Anyway, the Department of Transportation was under control and could escape at any time. He didn't have to worry about retreating. He hid behind a fireplace: "The sky is falling!"

He used all his magic power to cast the most powerful spell he could, and the front half of his wand radiated a dazzling blue light... The ground of the whole Ministry of Magic began to shake, crack and crack... All the wizards could not stand. Steady, I have to be distracted and try to maintain my balance - at this time, the trained Aurors finally have an advantage. Although they are unstable under their feet, the Aurors are in much better condition than the Death Eaters. Take advantage of this Chance, the Aurors fought back frantically, knocking down several Death Eaters.

All of a sudden, the magic power is only half left. If you continue, you may collapse the ceiling of the Ministry of Magic. Scrimgeour is dealing with Barty Jr. Lockhart is taking this opportunity to try to help Dumbledore. He points his wand at Voldemort. : "Breaking the Yuan in one breath!"

A blue light flew towards Voldemort, startling him, and then waved his staff to block Lockhart's attack, giving him a fierce look, but still focusing on Dumbledore.

After the collapse of the sky and the earth, after stabilizing his figure, several Death Eaters continued to besiege Lockhart, and he had to give up the idea of ​​joining the battle between the two top wizards.

Another violent fluctuation of magic power, the enchantment of the Ministry of Magic, used the most powerful means - freezing the space and magic elements around Dumbledore's body. Voldemort took this opportunity to drive all the rubble and bricks on the ground, and fired ten thousand bullets at Dumbledore.

Nearly ten Aurors have been knocked to the ground. Although the Death Eaters fell more, the number ratio on both sides increased again - the most important thing is that Dumbledore seems to be defeated!

Dumbledore used magic to condense a silver shield with difficulty, blocking the volley of bullets. The fiery fire was extinguished with the wand again, and a stone wall was erected to block the next attack of the defensive enchantment and the death curse that Voldemort might use.

"Alastor, go and smash the logistics department for me, and forcibly turn off Anti-Apparition!" Seeing that Dumbledore had only the strength to parry, Scrimgeour hoarsely issued orders to the other two groups with magic. "Start the Floo Network and go back to the 'old place'!"

"Don't Apparate them, use the Death Curse!" Barty Jr. yelled frantically.

Scrimgeour was the first to force him back with the Death Curse,

He raised his wand and created a large cloud of smoke on the ground. Taking advantage of the chaos, he rushed to Dumbledore's side, used a spell to free him, and supported him: "Dumbledore, remove the anti-phantom at Hogwarts. Shift, we withdraw!"

Dumbledore nodded weakly. The old body was injured a little bit, and I felt a little bit tired: "Tom, be careful with my next move."

Dumbledore seemed to be pretending to remind Voldemort, but he was actually reminding the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors to prepare them for Apparition - the defenses of the Ministry of Magic were finally forcibly shut down, and the magic in the hall flowed all of a sudden. The flow became smooth, and a huge amount of magic elements rushed towards Dumbledore. Lockhart, who had a high affinity for magic power, even felt the magic elements brush over his body and heard the sound of magic surging... Voldemort immediately became alert: The old guy is going to make a big move!

"Ao Blast Nova!"

——

Violent flashes, people can't open their eyes, after a few tenths of a second. Everyone was blown away by the powerful shock wave. The floor of the Ministry of Magic had just been cracked and turned up by Lockhart. At this time, all of them were stripped off the ground by the shock wave of the explosion, ripped apart and flew away, so the wizards were constantly hit by gravel. on the body. After being scraped off the ground by the shock wave. It was only when the violent explosion came to everyone's ears that the wizard who did not use a spell to protect himself was not directly killed by the explosion, and he was probably deaf or blind.

Lockhart got up from the ground, because he always used two spells to protect himself, except for a little pain in his eyes and ears, he was basically fine. The entire hall of the Ministry of Magic is no longer a complete ground, the smoke is filled with dust, it is difficult to breathe, and it is impossible to see.

A crisp sound of "crack" reminded Lockhart that Dumbledore was trying to cover their Apparition! Immediately thinking of Hogwarts, he started Apparating. Anti-Apparition had been turned off. He Apparated smoothly and returned to the lobby door of Hogwarts a few seconds later.

The Apparition was over, and as soon as his feet landed, Lockhart raised his wand alertly and looked around. A dozen people, including Dumbledore and Scrimgeour, had returned.

"Why did you break up with Miss Fudge?" asked Scrimgeour aloud, pointing his wand at Lockhart.

"I didn't break up with her!" Lockhart knew it was confirmation, and Scrimgeour moved his wand.

In the next few seconds, more than a dozen people Apparated over, all of which were confirmed by Scrimgeour's wand pointing at it, probably because the incident happened suddenly, and no Death Eaters came in posing as Aurors.

"Activate the Anti-Apparition at Hogwarts," Scrimgeour said to Dumbledore, who was sitting on the ground. "I haven't come back for more than ten seconds..."

"Louis didn't come back, and Joe and Nikita..."

Fatty Joe also Apparated over, and fell to the ground at once, with blood on the ground.

"Heal him!" Scrimgeour said ruthlessly: "It's impossible to get them all back, Dumbledore!"

Dumbledore nodded, waved his wand, and restarted all of Hogwarts' defensive magic.

——

He breathed a sigh of relief at last, keeping his nerves tense, and Lockhart was only now beginning to feel the fear - a dozen Aurors had been knocked down in the melee, nine of them never came back, and a few were dragged by colleagues Apparition is back, the most Auror loss in a single operation since Auror Command was established.

Most of them were wounded, and even if they were all right, they were disheartened—compared to the physical injury, everyone was in a panic: this raid, the other party was prepared, and the ambush was not entirely an accident. But if they rushed in, they suffered heavy losses but did not immediately retake the Ministry of Magic, let alone wait for the Death Eaters to gain a firm foothold, control all employees, and start using public opinion to control the wizarding world.

Most of the Aurors were still on special missions or vacations at the Ministry of Magic more than ten hours ago, but the victory and defeat were reversed in an instant, and the whole game was lost. They suddenly went from the most elite Ministry of Magic employees, law enforcers in the wizarding world, to rebels, or bereaved dogs!

"What's the matter, Mr. Headmaster?" McGonagall noticed that they were back, and hurried over to ask, "Didn't win?"

"No... Voldemort has become stronger than he was a year ago, and I still ran to play away..." Dumbledore sat on the ground sullenly and told McGonagall the whole story. "I'm afraid I'm really in big trouble this time..."

It was not yet dawn, but under the attack of Voldemort, many teachers and students were alert and did not sleep, and a lot of Apparition crackling caught their attention. Soon other professors and students came to watch, and Professor McGonagall drove them away angrily, but Hermione rushed over and hugged Lockhart: "Gidro, you're fine!"

"I'm fine." Lockhart put his arms around Hermione, stroked her hair lightly, and immediately saw Pandora running over, and immediately let go of Hermione.

"You..." Pandora glanced at Hermione and Lockhart angrily, but now was obviously not the time to be jealous: "Professor, is my grandfather alright."

Lockhart hurriedly hugged her again: "I'm sorry dear, your grandfather's life is worry-free, but he was controlled by the mysterious man..."

Not only Lockhart's side, Blake also hugged Harry, Lupin hugged Tonks, no matter how sudden and like a dream, but everyone knew that the days of peace were over, and disaster was coming.

"Why, the first white wizard in the UK came back after being beaten in disgrace?" Snape also appeared. Although he was a little surprised, he couldn't help but sneer: "What should we do now?"

"The Order of the Phoenix, and the Aurors, come to the lobby, and the other professors will take the students back to the lounge!" Dumbledore ordered solemnly, then stood up and walked into the lobby.
