Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

At the same time that Brian Braddock and the others were attacked, more than half of the Auror commands at all levels on the entire island of Great Britain were attacked at almost the same time.

In the Auror command headquarters in Hogsmeade, the map of Britain on the wall was almost entirely red. Rows of staff sitting below are calling various branches through communicators to understand the situation. However, few places have responded that everything is safe. More places are asking for help from the headquarters. A few places have been unable to contact, and some places are still talking. In the middle of the sentence, the sounds of fighting were heard.

Scrimgeour sat behind his desk, listening to the reports from the staff with a sullen face.

Now the situation is beginning to become clearer. This time Voldemort's sneak attack is targeting the Auror headquarters in various regions.

After the war began, the Northern Ministry of Magic began to rely on the national joint defense system to set up four-level Auror commands across the country according to the British administrative regions: headquarters, region, county and region.

On this basis, these Auror commands cooperated with local British police, military, and volunteers among the wizarding residents to carry out operations against scattered Death Eaters.

This deployment lowered the Aurors who were originally gathered in the Ministry of Magic, reducing the practice of Aurors to the grassroots level, focusing the previous attention on grassroots actions, and carrying out the maintenance and management of public security from the grassroots level.

In the six months of war, this unprecedented system in British magical society has been well implemented and achieved remarkable results. It has solved many problems such as the cumbersome alarming of Aurors in the Ministry of Magic and the slow response speed of Aurors. Great improvement.

In the past few months, whenever Death Eaters were found on the streets where wizards lived, they would be reported to the local wizards immediately, and then the Aurors who arrived would take the food away with the help of local volunteers. The Dead Apostles were defeated or captured.

Although the scale of these battles across Britain was small, the effects were significant. Public security has improved, the support rate of the Northern Ministry of Magic has also begun to increase, more and more volunteers have joined the ranks of fighting Death Eaters, and the number of Aurors injured and sacrificed in operations has also begun to decrease significantly.

Especially after the nationwide battle in early January, the Death Eaters were plunged into the vast sea of ​​British wizards' people's war.

Scrimgeour had already expected that the mysterious man would attack this Auror system. The Ministry of Magic had also taken relevant precautions earlier, and each Auror headquarters was hidden with magic.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that the mysterious man has a large amount of information on the location of the Auror headquarters.

At this moment, Scrimgeour was thinking about his next move.

The main goal of the mysterious man is to play the trick of driving the tiger away from the mountain again, or to destroy the entire Auror command system.

After a moment Scrimgeour began to give orders.

"After ordering the Aurors in Northern Ireland to leave a minimum number of personnel, all personnel will support England."

"Longbottom, arrange some people to support Scotland and Wales."

"Temporarily abandon all regional-level Auror headquarters, and all Aurors will be concentrated at the county-level headquarters. The goal of the operation is to preserve as many effective forces as possible."

"Contact the Muggle governments and ask them to help protect the various county commands."

"Cedric, fully mobilize volunteers and ask them to assist the various headquarters in the resistance to break out."

"Order each county to collect intelligence on the Death Eaters in the subordinate areas through each household, and then organize capable and reliable volunteers according to the actual situation to concentrate the forces to eliminate the small number of Death Eaters."

"Hogsmeade also organizes volunteers to carry out defense work to prevent Death Eaters from attacking."

"Inform Hogwarts to take precautions."

At the end, Scrimgeour's mind moved, and he added a final command.

"Finally, I order Aurors and volunteers at all levels. If contact with Hogsmeade is lost, they can take any action on the premise of preserving their vitality, but they cannot support Hogsmeade."

Orders were issued one after another, and almost all wizards in Britain took action.

In Chelmsford, Brian Braddock saw a stalemate between the Death Eaters and his colleagues. Hidden in the shadows, he raised his wand and pointed it at the Death Eater who was ordering his men to take a detour, "Collapse!"

The Death Eater who looked like the commander fell after being hit by a coma spell in the back. The group of Death Eaters fell into a brief chaos. Some of the Death Eaters who had just received the roundabout order wanted to continue the order. , some wanted to turn around and attack Braddock, and so did the other Death Eaters, who didn't know whether to continue attacking the enemies in front or behind.

In the Auror headquarters, the captain in charge, Joseph Chapman, saw the Death Eaters' chaos and immediately led his men to launch a counterattack.

However, the Aurors soon suffered from Braddock's immaturity. Braddock, who was fighting at a disadvantage for the first time, still couldn't get rid of his bookishness. He thought that just like the last downwind round, he could use the stun spell to solve the opponent.

The Death Eater who was stunned by the stun spell was quickly revived by his companions. After he woke up, he immediately ordered two people to deal with the enemies that emerged from behind. The others worked with him to block the Aurors back.

The Death Eaters here did not have an overwhelming advantage over the Aurors. They only had a slight advantage and they could only suppress the Aurors to prevent them from escaping, and then wait for reinforcements from Death Eaters elsewhere.

A wall of fire passed by, and Braddock, who was hiding in the shadows, was forced out.

A Death Eater shot a curse at Braddock, which was quickly blocked by him, but he failed to block the curse shot by another Death Eater in time.

Fortunately, when the curse flew 10 inches away from him, the iron armor curse vest worked its effect. After a flash of white light, the magic spell was bounced to a big tree on the side of the road, making a large transparent hole in the trunk.

Facing the joint attack of two Death Eaters, Braddock was immediately in crisis. After receiving three curses in a hurry, the iron armor curse vest on his body became ineffective. If he hadn't been wearing the Iron Armor Amulet, , the grass on his grave will be taller on this day next year.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came from a distance, and then Braddock heard two familiar voices.

"Split into pieces!"

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

Two curses flew towards the Death Eaters who were attacking Braddock. The iron armor curses on the two Death Eaters blocked the two curses, but they were quickly hit by several curses that followed. Knocked to the ground.

Brian Braddock turned around and found that the first ones to cast the spell were his brother James Braddock and his twin sister Elizabeth Braddock. Behind them were his girlfriend Megan and Neighbors Kelsey Leigh, Adolfo Costa, Giles Weir, Barry Bullock, Barton Burdock, Billy Ranson and others.

"Why are you here?" Brian asked his girlfriend next to him after blocking a spell.

"Armor protection!" Megan said after putting an iron armor spell on Brian, "We know you need help, so we are here."

The combat effectiveness of the volunteers who came for reinforcements was beyond the Death Eaters' expectations. The Death Eaters' plan to block the Aurors in the headquarters and wait for reinforcements failed.

The Aurors once again took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and now it was the Death Eaters' turn to be at a disadvantage.
