After a brief period of sunshine, dark clouds slowly covered the sky.

This is the norm, humid air, gloomy sky, and long-awaited rain.

Pedestrians on the road are walking hurriedly, some holding umbrellas in their hands, and some wearing coats.

The rain mixed with the mud and was splashed with stains by the soles of shoes.

Today is Saturday, and Hogsmeade, which should be crowded with people, is now dead silent.

A group of dark wizards have recently appeared in Muggle society and are slaughtering Muggles on a large scale.

Different from the 'minor incidents' suffered by the Muggle world in the past two years, no less than a hundred Muggles were attacked in just one week.

Later, he would use the blood of those Muggles to write radical remarks such as the supremacy of pure-bloods.

Mr. Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic, once led Aurors in pursuit, but ended up suffering heavy losses.

There were 20 people when they left, but less than 10 were intact when they came back.

Five of them died, and six were struck by Cruciatus and are now receiving treatment at St. Mungo's.

This result made the group of dark wizards even more unscrupulous, and they even extended their hands into the magical world.

As the only village in the British wizarding world composed of wizards, several families have been massacred.

It is reported that these victims were all Muggle-born wizards who had just settled in Hogsmeade.

For a time, the entire wizarding world was in a state of panic.

Hogwarts announced a closure to protect students. Except for the end of the school year when the entrance and exit were open, students were prohibited from leaving Hogwarts during all other holidays.

Most of the shops in Diagon Alley were simply closed.

However, the shops in Knockturn Alley made a lot of money.

After all, people are afraid of death, so they always try to find things that are not presentable but can save their lives.

The culprit of the last attack on a Ministry of Magic official has yet to be found, and the wizards are already on high alert.

This time the murderer jumped out and escaped the capture of the Ministry of Magic, which made many wizards smell the sign of impending storm.

Many parents have arranged for their children who are still attending Hogwarts to take a leave of absence from school.

Wizards from ordinary families left the British wizarding world with their children.

As for those families rooted in Britain that had not yet joined Voldemort's army, all the entrances to the manor were closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

The Daily Prophet had been following the report, and the content in each newspaper, one thing after another, made everyone's heart sink to the bottom along with the reports in the letter.

During the time that the Aurors were hunting down these dark wizards, Muggles and wizards of Muggle descent continued to be attacked.

The entire Ministry of Magic was like a machine that had not been running at full capacity for a long time, and many of its joints were rusty.

I was so busy that I was dizzy.

A month after the incident, the Ministry of Magic released the Defense Against the Dark Arts Manual.

Minister Millicent announced that the booklet would be distributed free of charge to every household by Ministry of Magic staff, and advised residents not to go out unless necessary in the near future.

Now on the streets, apart from wizards who need to purchase necessities, the only people left are the Aurors who are constantly patrolling.

In addition to reporting every day where the dark wizards have attacked and how many casualties they have caused, the Daily Prophet has also begun to collect stories from the outside for the first time.

I think it's because the wizarding world is too depressing and people are in panic, so the Ministry of Magic wants to calm people's hearts by publishing some interesting stories or gossip.

Everyone in the wizarding world is in danger, and Hogwarts, the cradle of training wizards in the British wizarding world, is filled with a solemn and depressing atmosphere.

There are fewer and fewer students, not just those who are dropping out of school, but also some whose parents have been attacked and have dropped out of school.

The number of students in the auditorium was decreasing every day. The students were silent, and the sound of suppressed crying could be heard faintly from the crowd.

I wonder whose family members have lost their lives or are admitted to St. Mungo's.

The students still in Hogwarts were becoming increasingly depressed and irritable.

Fear hung over everyone's head, just like the dark clouds and continuous drizzle overhead that could not be shaken off.

As the only Muggle-born wizard among the group, Lily wrote a letter home as soon as she saw the first report of the attack in the Daily Prophet.

Mr. Evans wrote in his reply that Mrs. Evans had quit her current job and Mr. Evans had applied for a cross-border business trip from the company. Now, except for Lily, the whole family was temporarily living abroad.

James Potter, Vince Lord and others had advised Lily to take a leave of absence from school and leave with her parents, but Lily refused.

After several unsuccessful attempts, everyone stopped talking.

At least within Hogwarts, Dumbledore will definitely protect the students' safety.

After opening the envelope sent from Malfoy Manor, Wenxiu Lord quickly scanned the contents of the letter.

As expected, Tom Riddle was too lazy to play along with him and began to test his attitude towards Muggles in his letter.

Picking up the pen, he acted the role of a love-stricken teenager and gave an ambiguous answer.

The words reveal disdain and arrogance towards Muggles, and lament the sadness of the passing of life.

After folding the letter and putting it into the envelope, Wenxiu Lord silently stared at the window through which no light could penetrate, and gazed at the lake outside in deep thought.

Perhaps at the end of next school year, he would leave Hogwarts.

After such a long period of correspondence, Tom Riddle had come to believe that he was devoted to him and began to reveal more of his true nature to him.

The atrocities of the Death Eaters, including the true identity of Voldemort, will be exposed to the world by the end of the next school year at the latest.

By then, Voldemort would never allow this ambiguous variable to exist.

By then, he will definitely spread the news that he has joined the Death Eaters.

To build momentum for his forces.

Then his study life in Hogwarts would become dispensable. Instead of staying here, it would be better to stay with Voldemort.

He could also detect more intelligence, and besides, Lucius... and Regulus, he had to protect these two people no matter what.

I just don't know how to explain it to Sirius and the others.

After staring blankly for too long without blinking, Wenxiu Lord closed his sore eyes and raised his hands to rub his tired brows.

'It's time to prepare for early graduation. I suddenly skipped the exam and I don't know if I can get all A's. I always feel like I set a great goal.'

"Ugh."

A heavy sigh attracted the attention of Remus who was processing documents and Severus who was brewing potion.

The gentle boy put down the feather pen in his hand, walked behind Wenxiu Lord, and stroked the top of his head with his dry and warm palms. His fingertips gently and forcefully massaged the temples of the silver-haired boy under him.

"What's wrong? Is there something bothering you?"

Wenxiu Lord leaned his head back in his chair, looking at Remus' gentle eyes, not knowing how to start speaking.

I have too many worries to express them.

He squinted his eyes and shook his head, the figure of the boy in his sight blurred, "Nothing, it's just that there has been no progress in product research recently."

"Those protective alchemical items?"

Holding the wrist that was still massaging his cheek, Wenxiu Lord stood up and walked with his men to the sofa and sat down, filling up the cups of black tea for both of them.

"Yeah, it's just the finishing touch. When the school year ends, I'll be busy again during the holidays. It's really uneasy every year."

Hearing this, Remus frowned, "The wizarding world is so dangerous now, you still want to go out and run around?"

Severus, who had been watching the two of them, also cast his gaze over, disapproval written all over his face.

"Don't worry, I'm just following Headmaster Dumbledore to meet an old friend of his, and I won't be leaving the house again."

He had to prepare for exams and deal with old Voldemort during this holiday, so he had no time to go on a business trip.

What's more, with the Death Eaters messing around, business is tough and several cross-border cooperation deals have been cancelled.

Alas, the inhuman old Voldemort!
