In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

The time Jon dived into the ice pit was, to be precise, 9 o'clock in the evening according to the London time zone.

It's just that because it is covered by the extreme daylight at the extreme point, there is no difference between day and night for him.

But for the wizards in France, the situation is completely different.

It was definitely an extremely difficult night for the employees of the French Ministry of Magic.

After that group of "rebels" occupied all areas except Paris, the French Ministry of Magic began to implement the highest alert state, and every pure-blood councilor did not dare to leave this underground square for a moment.

Not only that, there are also many pure-blood wizards gathered here who actively responded to the pure-blood policy as soon as it was promulgated.

Most of them escaped in panic before Wu Pingxian occupied their city, avoiding the fate of being liquidated, but they could only hide in the French Ministry of Magic and live in fear all day long.

All Aurors in France are required to be on standby at the Ministry of Magic 24 hours a day, and those support Aurors with unknown origins who only speak pure English with a British accent but never French are also guarding the Ministry of Magic in France. .

This was the final bottom line that Voldemort had drawn for them. The rest of France could be thrown away, but Paris could not fall into Dumbledore's hands.

Both Voldemort and Dumbledore clearly understood what it would mean if all of France was occupied by the Witch Level Line.

If the nearly ten years of exile in the Hogwarts carriage belonged to Dumbledore's strategic defense, then after winning the victory in the reformatory, the organization led by Dumbledore has entered a strategic parity with Voldemort. situation.

Once all of France is lost, it means that Voldemort is gone, and even his prestige in the UK will be greatly shaken, leading to Dumbledore's strategic offensive.

Therefore, whether or not Paris can be defended is of great significance to Voldemort. It is the bridgehead for his attempt to rule the entire Europe, and it is also the starting point for him to spread his ambition fangs.

Likewise, whether Paris can be liberated is also extremely important to Dumbledore.

This would not only completely damage Voldemort's personal reputation, but also shake the theory of superiority as the basis of bloodline rule, directly shake the foundation of his rule, and lay the groundwork for the next attack on the British mainland.

Therefore, this group of pure-blood wizards in France are still holding on to the Ministry of Magic, and the wizards on the witch flat line have not stopped attacking.

On the night of March 29, at nine o'clock, there was an explosion at the only entrance to the Ministry of Magic, causing everyone stationed here to panic.

The violent vibrations caused the entire ground to tremble, and every floor in the French Ministry of Magic was shaking. Broken stones and dust were scattered everywhere.

This sound of movement reminded many French wizards of that night half a year ago.

It was just a few days after Voldemort was announced as Minister of Magic. At midnight, which was even darker than tonight, seven white-robed wizards blew up half of the Ministry of Magic with their own lives.

That night was also such a turbulent one, but that night not only shocked the purebloods at the determination of these "Mudbloods" to fight to the death, but it was also the beginning of Voldemort's establishment of his absolute authority.

That power was so powerful that people didn't even dare to look up to him. Every pureblood who decided to side with him at that time did not feel that there would be any obstacle to the implementation of the bloodline policy in France.

The situation was indeed like this at the beginning. Everything was obviously developing in a good direction.

But why now, people like them who are supposed to be aloof are hiding in "burrows" like mice?

Such a huge difference between before and after is unacceptable to every pureblood who escaped here.

But no matter what emotions they felt at this time, after the loud siren sounded, everyone hurriedly gathered towards the location of the Wizarding Court Tribunal, which was the designated wartime refuge.

Most of the Aurors from the French Ministry of Magic were already guarding the entrance.

Each of them held the wand in their hands, swallowing nervously, looking at the entrance occupied by thick dust. In fact, they had already anticipated the current situation before.

After the victory in the correctional facility, the wizards on the level line never stopped invading France. Under the leadership of Dumbledore, the French Ministry of Magic continued to shrink its defenses, and now only the Ministry of Magic is left. This is the only island.

So in fact, everyone expected that a situation like today would happen, but when Dumbledore and his people actually appeared in front of them, the psychological pressure it caused could not be relieved by thinking about it in advance.

The dust gradually dispersed, and countless wizards in white robes stood at the blown-out entrance.

And in front of everyone was Dumbledore himself.

He held an ordinary cherry wood wand in his hand, and looked at the French Aurors blocking them with a calm expression.

"I think that if you are generous enough and willing to put down the magic wand in your hands, then maybe this war that should not have happened can be resolved. What do you think?"

His words made the Auror's hands full of sweat as they held their wands, but no one was shaken at all.

These Aurors who were able to defend the Ministry of Magic in the end must be die-hard loyalists among pure bloods. They themselves had already done some things that "pure bloods" should do during Voldemort's rule.

And such a thing cannot be forgiven by the wizards of Wu Pingxian. They are very likely to die if they resist, but if they surrender, it means 100% death!

So, the first spell was uttered in the mouth of an extremely nervous Auror, and a miserable green light suddenly shone on the tip of his staff!

"Avadaso..."

"boom!"

But behind Dumbledore, the wizards on the line reacted faster than him!

No one chanted the spell at all. Although the power of the blasting spell under the silent spell has been reduced, the effect combined with the countless spells has far exceeded normal people's imagination!

There was a fierce confrontation between the blazing fire and the armor spell that lit up on the Auror!

Countless heart-wrenching sounds were heard, and the terrifying explosion effect forced most of the Aurors to retreat backwards, unable to bear the pressure.

Even if they had no intention of surrendering, they would not be able to defend the Ministry of Magic with their lives. Everyone had little hope that they alone could defend the Ministry of Magic.

Just like Voldemort can rely on his personal strength to suppress everyone's resistance, in his absence, Dumbledore alone is enough to suppress the entire French Ministry of Magic in terms of mentality and strength.

Once there are signs of complete loss here, these Aurors will not hesitate to flee France with their families and go anywhere else in the world, even to live with giants or even trolls in inaccessible valleys. Well, they will never come back to France again in their lifetime.

Of course, the reason why they didn't run away immediately was because they still had only a glimmer of hope in their hearts, a glimmer of hope that Voldemort would not give up on France so easily and would definitely stand up!

It was with this hope that they fought and retreated, relying on the complex terrain of the Ministry of Magic and the wizards on the wizarding line to carry out street battles.

It is impossible for the wizards on the level to directly blow up the entire Ministry of Magic.

They are not a terrorist organization. Once they really blow up the underground Ministry of Magic, it will inevitably directly affect Paris on the ground. By then, it will not be something that can be solved with a few Forgetting Curses.

And they also need to prepare for what will happen after they occupy all of France. The French Ministry of Magic will definitely be reorganized. The current Ministry of Magic people can be killed, but other things must be preserved as much as possible.

Because occupying France is not the final victory, they still need to rely on the feedback from the land of France to liberate the island of Great Britain.

The battle between wizards became extremely fierce, but because of Dumbledore's existence, the wizard side always had the absolute upper hand.

The Aurors guarding the Ministry of Magic kept retreating, and finally retreated to the Inquisition where all the wizards who were not participating in the war gathered.

Until now, there is no sign that Voldemort is about to appear. Even those with long eyes can see that there are only a few of the supporting Aurors from the UK who are still here. Most of them have already No trace.

It was as if Voldemort had completely given up on them after experiencing that failure and did not dare to appear in front of Dumbledore again.

In this way, the Aurors retreated into the Tribunal, and the wizards from Wuping Line also raised their wands and pointed them at everyone in the hall.

Dumbledore's face remained calm. He actually didn't take action a few times in this battle. In most cases, he just rescued a few wizards from the Death Curse. But even so, he also brought a lot of trouble to the Aurors. A great deterrent.

Aurors and wizards from the wizarding world faced off in this trial court full of crime and punishment.

The pale-faced pure-blood wizards who stood close to each other were like a group of shackled prisoners about to be read out for their crimes. They looked in fear at the witch-level wizards who had firm faces and kept moving forward step by step.

However, suddenly Dumbledore stopped.

Behind him, the people following him also stopped.

The air suddenly became quiet, with only small sobs, nervous breathing, and swallowing sounds mixed together.

"Riddle, since you are already here, why don't you come out to see me earlier?"

Dumbledore's voice echoed in the Inquisition.

After hearing the surname he called, most of the wizards in Wuping's face turned gloomy, while the pure-blood wizards in France had blank expressions, as if they had never heard of this ordinary incompetent wizard. Who is the person with the most common surname?

"Because I enjoy it, Dumbledore."

A faint voice came from behind the French purebloods. They all looked back and opened a passage, allowing everyone behind Dumbledore to see the man sitting on the chair with one hand on his face. youth.

His appearance seemed to be forever fixed on this handsome face, even the years that could wear away all things could not leave any mark on it.

Voldemort was still like that, his eyes were cold and his face was dull and cold, staring directly at Dumbledore who was more than ten meters away from him.

"Pawn against pawn, king against king. It's like wizard chess. Everyone is in a good position. People with the same status should be opponents against people they can look at."

After seeing him, all the purebloods' originally fearful hearts turned into ecstasy.

They don't want to give up everything they have in France, whether it's status or power. Now the only person who ensures that they can have these is the man in front of them.

Even if this man failed once not long ago, his reputation has been spreading for decades. As long as he stands in front of Dumbledore again, there will still be people who have great hopes for him.

Just like Dumbledore, after his failure in the astronomy tower, some people will continue to believe in him.

People stared at the two people facing each other. Their appearance was very different in age, but they carried the beliefs of different groups.

Dumbledore looked at Voldemort, his blue eyes seemed to be examining something, and he seemed to be conducting some kind of consideration.

But Voldemort did not avoid Dumbledore's gaze. He was completely different from the one who fell from the sky like a black meteor and returned to France in embarrassment under the suppression of the two-minded wizards by the Ministry of Magic.

"It feels like I'm my old self again, huh?"

An intriguing smile appeared on Voldemort's face. He casually held the wand with Fox's phoenix tail feather as the core between his index and middle fingers, as if this was not a battlefield filled with gunfire, but a celebration dinner.

Dumbledore frowned slightly. He could tell that Voldemort was not a lustful person. He had indeed gotten rid of his previous state and returned to his heyday.

This is very strange. Jon naturally told Dumbledore about the problem of Voldemort's soul. The influence that obviously comes from the soul cannot be easily shaken off.

But there is no possibility of deception in Voldemort's current state. Moreover, based on Dumbledore's understanding of him, if he had not returned to normal, he would not have the courage to reappear here.

It was only possible that something unknown happened that allowed Voldemort to recover so quickly.

It's just that it's unclear from the current appearance whether he has completely recovered or is just holding on temporarily.

But whether it is permanent or temporary, Voldemort's recovery of strength is real, which makes the current situation freeze.

Dumbledore raised the wand in his hand first, his face still as calm as water.

"Since there is no way to study the process in detail, let's look at the results."
