My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 466, Section 463: If you're in trouble, find Auror.

After discovering that Lynn and Hermione were missing, Umaru immediately ran to the Weasleys' camp and told the Weasleys what had happened.

At this time, the fans in the camp had not yet left. After a night of celebration, the Irish team's fans had just returned to their tents to rest.

There are at least tens of thousands of wizards gathered in the camp now, so finding Lynn and Hermione among so many people is no easy task.

Moreover, they couldn't be sure if Lynn and Hermione were still there.

Just when everyone was at a loss and Umaru was on the verge of tears, Arthur Weasley chose to tell the Aurors about it.

Aurors can't really be considered police officers in the magical world.

Normally, they wouldn't care about things like a wizard going missing. There's no such thing as "go to an Auror if you're in trouble" in the wizarding world. Their main purpose is to combat dark wizards and maintain the operation of the Secrecy Act.

But Arthur was, after all, an employee of the Ministry of Magic with some power. He wanted to use his influence to get the Aurors who maintained order there to help him find the person. Although he would owe them a favor, it wasn't a difficult thing.

But when he found an Auror on duty and explained the situation, things weren't as complicated as he had imagined.

Less than five minutes after he informed the Auror on duty, Phillips Lyon, the Auror Commander, arrived with a large number of his Aurors.

The Auror that Arthur Weasley found happened to be the same guide who had led Lynn and the others before. He knew very well that Lynn's true identity was actually Leon's "nephew". So, as soon as he learned from Mr. Weasley that Lynn had disappeared for no reason, he reported the matter to Leon.

Lyon was naturally aware of Harry's and the Weasleys' relationship with Lynn.

With a gloomy face, after learning the whole story from Burma, he didn't rush to search for Lynn and the others in the camp. Instead, he went to the tent where Lynn and Hermione had last stayed before they disappeared.

The items inside were all arranged in an orderly manner, and there were no signs of a fight.

But Leon quickly discovered the problem.

He saw the open suitcase on the coffee table, and scattered on the floor, tiny black particles that looked like dust but were more like dust.

Leon summoned several of his Aurors who were well-versed in these strange and unusual magical items.

Soon, the experienced old Auror—the one-eyed madman Moody—discovered what it was.

"This is a special door key that is very difficult to make because its medium is very small, made of this special lime, and each grain has to be made individually."

Because these door keys are light enough, they can be blown away by the wind. The magic on them doesn't last long either. They are usually kept in enclosed spaces. Once used, they lose their effect within 10 seconds and turn into ordinary black particles like these.

Normally, no one would use this kind of door key intentionally; it's mostly used by malicious individuals as a means of treachery. However, it's rarely seen in Europe. I only know of it once when a Brazilian wizard who used black magic in Britain was captured, and it was found on him.

The inventor of this door key was a Middle Eastern wizard, but its use is prevalent in the Americas. It is said that most Aurors there use it as a means of self-defense, keeping a small key in a magically enchanted box and carrying it close to their body. In an emergency, the box will automatically open, and the door key inside will float out and carry the Auror in danger away.

Moody has practically lived his entire life as an Auror. Although he is missing a leg and an eye, he is the only Auror from his generation still active in such a dangerous job. His extensive knowledge is well-known among Aurors.

This year, Dumbledore specially invited him to serve as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, and he accepted. He has recently completed the handover procedures at the Ministry of Magic, which is also his last month working as an Auror.

After hearing Moody's words, Leon's face darkened even more.

Lynn was clearly tricked by someone who used this door key to take him somewhere.

Even if Leon knew Lynn's strength and was confident in him, someone who would scheme against Lynn in this way would not have dared to use such methods to take him away before understanding his strength.

"Is there a way to find the final location of these door keys?" Leon asked coldly.

Such questions require answers from other professionals, not Moody's.

Soon, experts from the Ministry of Magic who specialize in Portkeys arrived.

The Auror Command is a comprehensive department; they have their own specialized wizarding units for things like portal keys.

British wizards have long mastered the technique of using door keys to rewind to another location, although the process takes at least a day.

During this waiting period, Leon also used Floo Powder to communicate with Rozier and Old John, who were far away in Abros, to explain the current situation.

After finding the place where Lynn disappeared, Leon could not easily send the Aurors to find Lynn directly.

It's not that it's impossible, but if it were done, the consequences would certainly be something Lynn wouldn't want to see. At that point, those with ulterior motives in the Ministry of Magic would notice the special relationship between Lyon and Lynn, thus linking him to Old John.

Therefore, the best approach is to first send the saints and John's men to scout ahead and observe just how difficult the situation truly is.

However, before the Aurors could decipher the final teleportation point of the exit key, and before the Saints arrived at the scene, Lynn and Hermione returned on their own.

Leon, Harry, and the Weasleys all breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon returning, Lynn didn't say much about her disappearance, nor did she mention the Magical Society of America. She only said that she accidentally encountered a strange magical device and was transported to an unfamiliar place. Later, she happened to meet Fawkes and returned with Hermione.

Lynn and Fox had already reached a consensus on these points before Lynn returned.

It's impossible to just let what happened that day go by, but if we expose it to the outside world, it will become an international issue.

The British Ministry of Magic will definitely stand up for Lynn in this matter, but it will absolutely not give Lynn a satisfactory result; at most, it will be a muddled and ineffective ending.
