As soon as he came out of the floo network, he was hit by a vicious green light. Kingsley was just like a white-collar worker who was hit with a stun gun for no reason as soon as he got out of the elevator. He was frightened and angry with a hint of confusion.

What happened? Voldemort is alive again? The Ministry of Magic has been captured? Where are the people in front? Where is Harry?

The badge on Kingsley's chest flashed, and the badge popped up and quickly enlarged, turning into a huge iron shield the size of a door panel with the Ministry of Magic emblem engraved on it.

The malicious green light hit the iron shield, and after a burst of sparks, it failed to penetrate the iron shield.

Similar to the Iron Armor Curse, a purely magical protective shield cannot protect against the Avada Kedavra Curse, but the Avada Kedavra Curse cannot penetrate dead objects. According to this principle, after graduation, Miss Hermione found herself in the Oriental Pen Pal Hu Xiuwu

With the help of others, a simple emblem weapon was developed to protect against Avada's Kedavra Curse.

The badge draws on the technology of Professor Moody's looking glass that can detect malice, and the magic of rapid amplification is engraved on the badge. If malice is detected, it will immediately transform into an iron shield to protect the wearer behind him.

The iron shield cannot be moved after it is enlarged, so this badge can only be used once. However, the three unforgivable curses cannot penetrate dead objects, so this badge can indeed effectively prevent evil curses. Hermione named it one-time protection against evil.

Curse badge.

Although it is a one-time use, the badge can still effectively prevent sneak attacks and is still very useful for Aurors. Therefore, Kingsley ordered a batch of disposable protective curse badges in the name of the Auror Office, but the magic weapon was made

Slowly, Hermione had not yet had time to deliver the goods, and only Kingsley had a sample.

With a one-time protective curse badge, after overcoming the moment of being overwhelmed, the experienced Kingsley immediately dispersed into black mist and apparated away, moving more than ten meters sideways. Although the curse could not break through the iron wall

, but there are countless elemental spells that can easily destroy it.

Kingsley's experience was correct. As soon as the green light was blocked, a deeper and darker crack swallowed up the green light, and the iron shield was also silently corroded with a big hole, and the upper half of the iron shield banged.

It fell to the ground with a sound.

"Merlin! What happened!?"

Kingsley stayed as far away from his attacker as possible, just enough to have a panoramic view of the scene, but he couldn't help but moan at this sight.

The Floo Network didn't know what went wrong. Instead of returning to the Ministry of Magic, they came to an exquisite and gorgeous living room. Next to Kingsley, there was a large window at the same height as him, overlooking the street.

Kingsley felt that this place was very familiar, especially when he saw the tree-shaped genealogy tapestry on the wall:

"This is No. 12 Grimmauld Place! How is that possible!"

Kingsley raised his head and stared at the assailant.

The perpetrator was holding a green dragon treasure box in one hand and a wand in the other, standing in the middle of the corpse.

The Aurors who entered the fireplace in front of Kingsley all turned into corpses, with pale faces and empty eyes. They fell to the cold ground and crawled in front of the murderer.

"Impossible, impossible, how is it possible!"

Kingsley looked at him in disbelief, and was so shocked that he forgot to fight back.

The man remained silent and only responded with the killing curse.

Green light flashed, and Kingsley's eyes were filled with disbelief that would not fade away until his death.

After finding the key to the Green Dragon's Box from Kingsley's arms, the murderer who wanted Kingsley to die in silence closed Kingsley's eyes apologetically:

"Sorry, it's for the greater good."

······

"Director Kingsley, like other Aurors, died of the Killing Curse, the Green Dragon's Box disappeared, and Auror Harry Potter disappeared."

After inspecting the scene, an Auror reported to Hermione Granger, Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

Kingsley didn't reply for a long time, and Hermione became uneasy. After talking to Professor McGonagall, she learned that Kingsley and his party had left Hogwarts long ago, so she immediately felt that something was wrong and summoned the Auror office to stay behind.

people, looking for the whereabouts of Kingsley and others.

Finally, relying on the divination of the Department of Mysteries, Kingsley was finally found buried in a cemetery.

In order to investigate the truth, Hermione Granger could only order the graves of Kingsley and others to be dug up and let the Aurors examine the bodies.

"Miss Hermione, what should we do? Director Kingsley is dead and Harry is missing. Could it be that the Death Eaters are back?"

Although the Auror on the side was older than Hermione, he was far less calm than Hermione and was extremely panicked.

Because Kingsley Shacklebolt is not only the director of the Auror Office, he is also a candidate for the Minister of Magic, and he is the most popular candidate among the candidates. He is also a candidate recognized by the Order of the Phoenix.

The previous Minister of Magic was a puppet of Voldemort. He died in the war between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters before the Death Eaters were overthrown.

The war had just ended, and the Ministry of Magic had no choice but to invite an old wizard as the temporary minister, and quickly organized the election of the Minister of Magic.

Kingsley personally came to Hogwarts with Harry to find the Resurrection Stone because the Order of the Phoenix paved the way for him.

Now that Kingsley has died here, the election of the Ministry of Magic has become complicated and confusing. Those wizards who thought they were just going through the motions may be overjoyed.

Hermione looked at Kingsley's body sadly and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Send the bodies of Director Kingsley and the other Aurors back to the Ministry of Magic, inspect them carefully, and then notify their families to collect the bodies."

"Immediately issue a reward to find the Resurrection Stone and the whereabouts of Harry Potter."

The old Auror hesitated: "Miss Hermione, why don't you suppress the news first and discuss it with Director Bones and the committee when you get back?"

A common problem among old Ministry of Magic staff inherited from Fudge when he was Minister: when something happens, the first reaction is to suppress it and see if it can be digested on its own.

If it doesn't heal on its own and instead becomes suppurative, call Dumbledore.

Oh, Dumbledore is dead.

Miss Know-It-All couldn't stand this kind of behavior. Hermione said seriously: "Harry has disappeared. If you send the notice one day earlier, you can find him as soon as possible. Lady Amelia will understand."

The old Auror then said: "Understood."

Hermione returned to the Ministry of Magic with the corpse and the bad news, and the Ministry of Magic was instantly shocked.

The Minister of Magic, Piers Thicknesse, and the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Amelia Susan Bones, immediately convened a high-level meeting of the Ministry of Magic to discuss countermeasures.

Hermione did not attend the meeting on the pretext that she wanted to see the Department of Mysteries and ask them to help divine the whereabouts of the Resurrection Stone. Instead, she took the elevator to the ninth floor underground of the Ministry of Magic, the office of the Department of Mysteries, and walked out of the Prophecy Hall in a familiar manner.

's door.

When she was in school, Hermione had come to the Prophecy Hall with Harry and Ron to look for prophecies about Voldemort, so she was no stranger to this place.

The Prophecy Hall is somewhat like a large library, but the difference is that the shelves are not books, but crystal balls containing prophecies.

In the dim prophecy hall, these crystal balls sparkled like the Milky Way.

And in the crystal galaxy, there is a graceful young man with fluttering clothes and an extraordinary temperament, reading by the starlight.

Seeing the boy, Hermione finally couldn't help but fell to her knees, covered her face and cried:

"Xiugo, Uncle Kingsley is dead, and so many Aurors are dead. It was me who harmed them. It was me who failed to make a decision in time."

"Why, why would Harry do such a thing!"

With the help of the power of the golden tree, Hu Xiuwu moved to the European continent and was transformed into a floo network by the Emerald Society and the Ministry of Magic. Hu Xiuwu moved thousands of miles away and became a blue bird in the foggy capital of England, looking for help from trustworthy friends.

Hu Xiuwu put down the book in his hand, walked to Hermione, sat on the ground with her, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her:

"That's not your fault, nor is it Harry Potter's original intention. He was distorted."
