Time flies.

Before we knew it, the semester was coming to an end.

During this period, the school was peaceful and calm.

But in the wizarding world, a storm is brewing.

Voldemort probably stopped hiding because he was exposed.

By openly threatening the Ministry of Magic to submit and eliminating Dumbledore, the future of at least half the population could be guaranteed.

However, Fudge stood his ground for once and publicly rejected Voldemort.

Perhaps because he is not far from stepping down, he wants to make a final push before leaving office and gild his political legacy.

According to Dumbledore, Fudge would write him a letter every two or three days.

Hopefully, Dumbledore can bring Harry and John along to speak on his behalf.

He will fully cooperate with Dumbledore and his team in their actions.

However, Dumbledore simply ignored him.

Harry was also angry because Fudge had said he would lock him and John up, and didn't want to help him.

The Death Eaters also began wreaking havoc in the Muggle world.

Then, due to the large number of Dementors appearing, London, which was in the sweltering heat of summer, became excessively cool.

Even the whole of London was shrouded in a depressing gray fog.

Soon, Fudge was forced to step down completely.

He was impeached by a joint petition from all the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, and a new Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, was appointed.

This Scrimgeour was previously the head of the Auror's office and Kingsley and Tonks's direct superior.

In this turbulent time, the wizarding world needs a strong leader who dares to face the storm head-on.

On the day Scrimgeour took office, he did not hold a press conference, but instead visited Hogwarts directly with three Aurors.

He came specifically to see Dumbledore.

He wasn't as foolish as Fudge; he knew full well that without Dumbledore's help, he was nothing more than a big grasshopper in front of Voldemort.

This time, Dumbledore did not refuse and readily agreed to join forces with the Ministry of Magic.

He then paid a visit to Harry and John, making himself known to them.

Immediately after Scrimgeour's departure, the Daily Prophet published a powerful front-page headline: "New Minister's Declaration: Eradicate the Remaining Poison of Dark Magic with an Iron Fist!"

It was a very strong and straightforward declaration of war against Voldemort.

The accompanying image below the title shows Scrimgeour's cold, hard profile, with the Auror badge on his collar gleaming, and his gaze as sharp as a hardened iron nail, piercing straight into the paper.

"Things have really changed."

Ethan looked at the contents of the newspaper and said with some worry.

"Yes, we don't know what the future holds."

Ryan, standing to the side, echoed the same worried expression.

The two slumped together, looking as if it were the end of the world.

"Don't worry too much, the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore will handle it."

John closed the newspaper and offered a gentle word of comfort.

"John, what are your vacation plans?"

At this moment, Titus asked John from the other side.

"What other arrangements can I make? Just stay at home."

"Oh right, I might go out with Dumbledore."

Upon hearing this, the group became curious.

"What are you going to do with the principal?"

"The principal forbids me from saying..."

"cut."

The three of them rolled their eyes in unison. Titus smirked and said, "So mysterious, it must be another dangerous mission. Hope you don't die."

"Thank you so much for your concern."

John smiled, his fingertips unconsciously tracing the engraving on the end of his wand.

He was naturally going to Riddle Hall with Dumbledore to search for Voldemort's Horcruxes.

They've found three Horcruxes so far; who knows how many Voldemort has hidden.

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?"

At this moment, Luna walked over and greeted the group.

"We're talking about holiday plans."

"Really? I'm going to Sweden for vacation with my dad during the holidays."

Luna sat down next to them casually and spoke to them.

"That's great, I've never been abroad before."

Ethan said enviously.

"Things abroad are really just like that, nothing to be envious of. Let's travel abroad together sometime."

Titus waved his hand and said.

"But if we wizards travel abroad, do we still need to apply for a wizard visa from the Ministry of Magic?"

"Yes, just like a Muggle's visa to go abroad." This time it was Ryan who answered.

"We need to register with the Department of International Magical Cooperation first, and then get a stamp from the Ministry of Magic's Immigration Department," Luna explained.

"How about we go out and have some fun together after graduation?" John suggested.

"Okay!" the others readily agreed.

"So, where do you suggest we go for fun?"

Titus asked excitedly.

"Before considering this issue, we should first consider the problem of language communication."

Does anyone here speak a foreign language?

Ethan countered.

"I speak Chinese," John said abruptly.

"???"

Upon hearing this, Titus and the other two stared wide-eyed at John.

"No, when did you learn that?"

"That's just how geniuses are," John said smugly, tossing his hair.

"I don't believe you. Say something to me," Titus said.

"Alright... cough cough... listen carefully."

"Damn it." John cleared his throat and said in perfect Chinese.

The three of them were all incredulous after hearing this.

"Wow, you really know that? What does that mean?"

"To express greetings, just say it to everyone you meet in China, and they will definitely respond warmly."

John chuckled and said, and the three of them immediately imitated the pronunciation.

This scene made John keep a tight face, afraid that he might burst out laughing out loud.

Just then, Qiu Zhang, a senior student who was passing by, heard a familiar hometown dialect coming from here and curiously came over.

Then they saw Titus and his two companions exchanging "grass mud horse" to each other, and they were immediately stunned.

Judging from their serious expressions, and John's slightly trembling shoulders as he tried to suppress a laugh, it seemed like they had guessed something.

"Have you been scammed by someone...?" This is a vulgar insult in China.

After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Zhang still kindly offered his advice.

The air suddenly froze.

Titus and the other two were taken aback, glancing at Cho Chang and then at John.

"Ahem... Hermione needs to see me, so I'll be going now."

John immediately got up and made up an excuse to slip away.

He had just stood up when Titus launched a human bomb attack, knocking John to the ground. Ryan and Ethan also flipped over the table and pounced on John.

"You bastard! You dare to mess with us!"

"Beat him up!"

The three men grabbed John and started punching and kicking him.

John ran away covering his head, begging for mercy in a hoarse voice, "I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Luna and Qiu Zhang watched from the side, exchanged a glance, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
