Many things happened in the middle of the night.
An owl was not as fast as a phoenix, so by the time the prophet received Dumbledore's warning letter, the American Auros had already arrested the Black Wizard who was lurking around Anthony's apartment.
The warning letter and Dumbledore's letter arrived at the Association of Black Magicians one after the other, which gave the prophet a headache.
He did not know about the attack this time.
What kind of person was the prophet?
He was a very cautious person. He did not even dare to provoke a Black Wizard like Voldemort, let alone Dumbledore.
The captured dark sorcerer was a female sorcerer, and she was also a successor of the Hint Faction. She was in a passionate relationship with his dead disciple, Edmund. When Edmund and Beyer met with mishaps one after another, he had promptly warned all the upper echelons of the Association of Black Magicians, but he had forgotten about this girl.
However, it was not his fault, nor was it the girl's fault.
"Look at you, gentlemen. Look at what you've done."
The prophet stared at the faces of these people with a certain degree of disappointment in his eyes. He slapped Dumbledore's letter on the wooden table in front of him and said in a low voice, "Don't you think you've been holding power in the Association for too long? All you do is guard your pitiful research results all day long and not do anything properly! Look at the result of your actions! We've lost another excellent Black Magician!
After the last incident, I've been telling you to restrain your people and not let them go out and cause trouble. But what did you do? Look at these two letters! This is a slap to my face!
Do you think we're very powerful?
Let me tell you, America is now under the rule of the Ministry of Magic. We are just struggling to survive in the cracks that they allow. Once they find a reason to say that they are unhappy, they can start a war with us whenever they want!
You don't have to explain anything to me. From today onwards, the entire Association will enter a state of lockdown. I'll personally guard the key to open the door. Don't you like to guard your pitiful research results? Then scram back to study your results. Unless Dumbledore and Voldemort start fighting again, no one can think of leaving this place! "
No Black Wizard dared to provoke their boss at this time, especially when they were about to be locked up. If they didn't want to be punished by their boss, they could only obediently keep their mouths shut.
…
The other three members of the four-man team knew that Jon had gone to see Dumbledore.
Originally, they had planned to make a study plan for the new semester tonight. After all, Jon was the only one who was ahead of everyone else in terms of studying. The three of them still had to work hard.
"But we've already learned most of the lessons for the first half of the school year. Now, we'll begin the second half of the school year, which is the next semester's lessons. We'll follow the way we used to study on our own and consult our seniors … That's about it."
Ferran summarized his plan and showed it to Stephen.
"Yes." Stephen nodded. "That's about it."
His ears twitched, and he put down the plan in his hand. "Jon's back. Three, two, one."
As soon as he said that, Jon walked in through the door.
"What are you doing?"
"We're working."
Scully pointed at the plan on the table. "We're making a study plan for the next half of the year. Since you're back, let's take a look."
Of course, Jon was willing. He loosened his collar and sat down at the small round table to read the plan.
"That's too little."
Jon wasn't satisfied that they only wanted to study the second half of the second half of the semester.
"You have to at least finish all the third year's lessons before the end of the second year."
"Why?"
Scully was very surprised, but didn't directly refute, because Jon never made too strict a plan for them. He must've said that because there was something wrong.
"I just came back from Dumbledore's place and learned some bad news."
Jon passed on what he knew to Dumbledore. Otherwise, he couldn't explain how he knew so much.
Also, mentioning Dumbledore's name had its benefits.
As expected, Scully and Ferran became nervous. Even Stephen leaned over, wanting to hear what Jon had done.
"Voldemort is back."
"Oh, and then?"
Stephen said calmly, "You've already told us about this. Can you tell us something that we don't know?"
"When I said back, I didn't mean that he returned to the world of magic, but that he returned to the Hogwarts."
“???”
Looking at the three puzzled faces in front of him, Jon began to explain, "Professor Dumbledore helped me solve my problem, but in return, I also need to help protect Harry Potter."
Ferran raised an eyebrow. "But you just told us not to have too much contact with the boy who survived the disaster."
"Not letting you have contact with him doesn't conflict with me protecting Harry Potter."
Jon knocked on the table and said, "Stephen knows about my plan. I've already told Dumbledore about it. He thinks it's very feasible."
"You mean …"
Stephen's first reaction was to object. "No, our people aren't ready yet. How can they carry out the mission of protecting Potter?"
"We're not asking them to protect him. We're just going to monitor him. We're going to record Potter's daily life and summarize it. Anyway, we have another plan over there, so we might as well do it together. Dumbledore also thinks that this plan is feasible."
"But you didn't mention the thing you wanted to announce in Muggle World."
"There's no rush. Take it slow."
"We don't have enough people …"
The more they talked, the more excited they became, but the more Scully didn't understand.
Under his protests, Jon had no choice but to tell him the story again.
"That's it? Ferran and I can both help. "
"You two?"
Jon reflexively wanted to refuse. "You two don't need to learn?"
"With you and Stephen's special training, there's no problem in completing the mission. But you'd be unbrotherly if you don't bring us along for such a fun thing."
Jon thought about it and felt that this was not a bad idea. After all, Stephen would be very busy with the mission of Helga. If Ferran and Scully both came to help, it would indeed be a lot easier.
"That's fine. But this is not a simple matter. Since that's the case, are you willing to make an unbreakable oath?"
