Promotion and salary increase start at Hogwarts

The crowd fled in all directions, and the wizards ran around in panic. Who knew who stepped on a foot, and the person fell to the ground, and people left in panic. People ran around, and several people bumped into them.

Together, they pushed each other and walked out, people trampled on each other, and the entire Diagon Alley became chaotic for a while.

"What's going on?" Harry was a little confused. At this time, the Weasley family also came out of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, and Mrs. Weasley hugged Harry.

"This is the Dark Mark, Harry!" Mrs. Weasley moaned, pulling him desperately to run outside, "You-Know-Who's symbol!"

"It's Voldemort's—"

"Harry, let's go!"

Ron grabbed his other hand, and Mr. Weasley picked up Ginny and the cauldron holding the complete works of Lockhart in her hand. The Weasley twins and Percy followed closely behind him.

"We have to leave here first. The remnants of the Death Eaters are so confused that they are causing trouble in Diagon Alley! The Aurors will arrive soon, but we have to leave first. Yes, get out of here first."

The Weasley family had the same goal and was much stronger than those wizards who were running around like headless flies. Soon they came to the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron and used Floo powder to successfully return home.

Once again, Harry used Floo powder very successfully and did not end up in other people's fireplaces.

"Okay, okay, it's safe. But dad, what is that skeleton?"

Ron said, "Why is everyone running?"

"Ron, I think you must not have studied hard." Percy Weasley frowned and said, "If you have read "The Rise and Fall of Dark Arts", you will know that it is the symbol of the mysterious man."

"What happened to the mysterious man's symbol? He's finished." Ron frowned and said, "I mean... after all, it's just a shadow in mid-air, and it's not lethal."

"Ron, every time the mysterious man and his followers kill someone, they will display the Dark Mark in the air."

Mr. Weasley said, "The fear it brings... you don't know, you are too young. Imagine that you come home and find the Dark Mark hovering over your house. You know what you will do when you go in."

What did you see..."

Mr. Weasley shuddered, "This is what everyone fears the most...the most fearful..."

"Arthur, please go back to the ministry quickly. I think you must have a meeting."

Mrs. Weasley said worriedly, "The Dark Mark has appeared again. I think tomorrow's Daily Prophet will be very exciting. Poor Mr. Lockhart, his front page will be taken away..."

——————————————————————

The front page of the Daily Prophet was indeed taken away by the big news of the appearance of the Dark Mark, and the simultaneous appearance of Lockhart and Harry Potter at the book signing was relegated to a small corner of the back page.

"The Ministry of Magic is panicking...the criminals have not been caught...security is lax...dark wizards are on the loose...bringing shame to the country...Who wrote this? Ah...of course it's her...Rita Skeeter

.”

Mr. Weasley, who had just returned from the Ministry of Magic at 7 o'clock in the morning, yawned and read the Daily Prophet.

"Dad, are you okay?"

Percy Weasley said, "What did the Ministry say?"

"What else can I say? After a whole night of meetings, the Aurors found nothing in Diagon Alley. The minister was furious. Thanks to Professor Luo Cheng for the good suggestion, the Aurors and the staff of the Legal Enforcement Department and the Accident and Disaster Department

We all mobilized, expanded the search scope to the adjacent Diagon Alley and other places, and captured a few wanted dark wizards to deal with first..."

Mr. Weasley said tiredly, "I think this will be reported tomorrow."
