In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

"I just received the news today that the Wizarding Equal Rights Front, a terrorist organization headed by Dumbledore and united with French rebels, broke into the correctional facility built by the master in France to rehabilitate Muggles. After talking to Dumbledore In the battle, the master was seriously injured."

Gris took a deep breath.

"I just mobilized a large amount of supplies to France to stabilize the situation in France. Now the master has gone to deal with the injury privately. The French Ministry of Magic is temporarily under the control of our people."

Slughorn's face showed a worried gloom, but in reality he was extremely confused.

He didn't think Gris would lie about this kind of thing. Even if the news of such a big matter was blocked with all his strength, it would not be blocked to the top management at the director level, unless Voldemort saw through Slughorn's undercover identity. Although the possibility of using this matter to set him up is unlikely, there is still some chance.

Compared to this conjecture, Slughorn is actually more inclined to believe that Voldemort really suffered a disastrous defeat.

However, how he was defeated by Dumbledore is still a bit puzzling.

As for the British Ministry of Magic, unless Slughorn asks Voldemort himself, he probably won't get a definite answer, but he can use his contact with Dumbledore to find the answer to this question.

This did not help his own undercover work, but Slughorn was very curious about how Dumbledore defeated the already invincible Dark Lord.

And for safety reasons, he had always communicated with Dumbledore via a single line before, and he didn't ask much about the situation in the Hogwarts carriage.

Almost two years have passed, and he also wants to know how far the student he accepted on the carriage has grown now.

I wonder if you have practiced that magical floating spell to become even better?

Slughorn was thinking about these things in his mind, but looked at Gris seriously.

"You shouldn't tell me this kind of thing in private, Gris."

"I understand, sir, but the master had no intention of hiding it from you." Gris waved his hand and said, his face full of sadness, "We need to provide a lot of support to France, and I have been approving it all morning. The issuance of personnel and supplies from various departments, and even so, I don’t know whether they can stabilize the situation when the master is away.”

When he said this, his face became ugly.

"If after giving so much assistance, they still fail to live up to their master's expectations, then I think there is nothing wrong with letting British people serve as members of the French Ministry of Magic in the future!"

His speech was, of course, an almost impossible argument. Even if the French Ministry of Magic was stupid enough to stab Voldemort in the back without fully understanding the situation, it would not be possible for them all to be controlled by the British.

Slughorn sighed.

"We just try to do our own jobs well, and not holding back the master is the greatest contribution we can make."

Gris rubbed his swollen temples and nodded helplessly. He understood that Slughorn was right.

Their current glory and status are actually all dependent on Voldemort. In the current situation, whether it is to protect their own interests or to be truly loyal to Voldemort, what they can do is very limited.

Unlike the British Ministry of Magic, France's wizards, with Lyon as the core, are spreading the results of their war to the surrounding areas, and are extremely excited to begin the action of regaining the French magic world.

Before planning the war against the correctional facility, Dumbledore and Iniesta discussed and prepared two sets of plans.

One is how they can maximize their remaining strength and quickly retreat to Northern Europe if they lose the war.

The other is how to maximize the fruits of victory if you win.

Of course, these two plans also subdivided different situations and situations that may be encountered, and what Dumbledore and the others encountered now was one of the best situations they could have expected.

So, the day after they successfully broke into the correctional center and liberated all the Mazong wizards inside, without any rest or pause, the wizards at Wu Pingxian immediately continued their subsequent actions.

Although most of the rescued Mazda wizards suffered inhuman abuse and humiliation, they have not yet been brainwashed to the level of "humanoid house elves".

A group of very good combat power can definitely be extracted from these people, but now they all still need time to cultivate, so they are temporarily staying at the Lyon headquarters and being taken care of by the logistics staff.

And those wizards who fought hard to break into the correctional facility the night before started a new war the next day.

Grenoble, a city in southeastern France.

This is a world-famous ski resort that attracts ice and snow sports enthusiasts from all over the world every winter. It is also the time of year when the city's population density is highest.

But excluding tourists and travelers, the city's permanent population is only a few hundred thousand. Counting the surrounding suburbs, the total is less than 400,000, so the city is not actually very large.

In the magical world, Grenoble is the largest magical plant training base of the French Ministry of Magic.

In the southwest suburbs close to the city, there is an area that was once planned to build a large ski resort, but for unknown reasons, the project was suspended halfway through construction.

Afterwards, no one else took over, and the land fell into disuse and looked dilapidated.

Because this place is remote and located in the Alps, not many people notice it even if it is deserted.

Even if someone happens to pass by here and see this unfinished ruins, they will soon suddenly remember that they have other urgent things to do and leave in a hurry.

Obviously, this place where Muggle expulsion spells and concealment spells were cast was where the French Ministry of Magic built a branch to cultivate and research magical plants.

At this moment, a fierce battle is taking place here!

"It's full of smoke."

Lily recited the smoke spell in a cold voice that seemed to never fluctuate at any time.

The next second, thick white smoke shrouded the entire greenhouse, causing those long creepers who were originally driven by employees of the French Ministry of Magic to attack, losing their target of attack.

The Ministry of Magic employees who were notified just today to prepare for emergency evacuation, but before they could do so, were blocked in dozens of greenhouses by Lily and Kingsley.
