Behind her, there was a worried couple - judging from their brown hair and appearance, they were obviously her parents.

"Hermione!?"

They also exclaimed: "Why are you here?"

"Mom and Dad and I came to buy textbooks for the new school year and to attend Mr. Lockhart's book signing today... Why are you here? What happened?"

she whispered.

"We don't know either... You saw Malfoy, he and his father are as annoying as ever, but the key is the man next to him..."

Harry also whispered at this moment.

"His name is Anos Dohorov. I guess he might be the father of McCall Dohorov. Mr. Weasley seems to know him. He is very angry and says that he is a criminal who escaped justice..."

"Dokhorov!?"

After hearing this surname, Hermione also let out a low cry.

"Yeah—what's wrong?"

Ron said doubtfully.

"You don't know?"

Hermione stared at Ron with wide eyes, and also looked at Charlie, Ginny, Percy and the twins - she didn't recognize Ginny, but her iconic red hair was enough to identify her.

Then, several Weasley children shook their heads.

"I..."

So, Hermione seemed a little speechless.

"You know, after what happened last year, I looked into a lot of things about the war—especially some war criminals... I mean, cases like Peter Pettigrew's and maybe others..."

she explained.

The expressions of the Weasleys and Harry were still confused.

The only exception was Charlie, who seemed to recall something.

So at this moment, his eyes became sharp.

So, Hermione patiently continued to explain, "The results of the trial were all in the newspapers, so it's not difficult to find them... I can't believe you're so clueless about this—among You-Know-Who's Death Eaters, there was one called Antonin Dohorov."

"He is one of the most loyal and vicious Death Eaters, guilty of many crimes, and..."

She hesitated for a moment, as if unsure whether to speak.

But at this moment...

"Miss Granger!"

Mrs. Weasley interrupted her.

"Let me tell you."

The woman shook her head at her worried husband, indicating that she was fine.

Then she turned to look at her children: "You were still young before, so I didn't want to let hatred affect you."

"But now—Ginny, even you are about to start at Hogwarts... Even Ron went through that last year. I believe you are mature enough children."

Her voice trembled.

"Your uncles—my two brothers, Fabian and Gideon... They died in the war ten years ago."

"They fought bravely, were tortured by the Death Eaters, and ultimately died at their hands..."

When she said this, there was an expression of pain on her face that was hard to conceal.

"Anthony Dokhorov admitted to killing them!"

As soon as these words came out.

The expressions of several Weasleys changed instantly.

Even Ron, who was the slowest to react, had reacted at this moment.

They all knew that their mother had two older brothers, but both were dead.

However, their mother hardly ever talked about their two uncles - and the Weasley children were naturally sensible enough not to ask any more questions.

So it was not until now that they truly knew the cause of death of their two uncles.

And more importantly, what Molly and Arthur just said is the fact.

'Anthony Dokhorov admitted to killing them'

Anos Dokhorov put all the blame on his brother.

The facts speak for themselves.

"Great...Great!"

Then, a hint of coldness appeared on Charlie Weasley's face, which still had the scar of the fire dragon's breath.

He drew his wand and pointed it at Anos Dohorov like his father.

That's right.

He was the oldest of the Weasley children present.

He was already over four years old when his two uncles died - which gave him some memory of what happened at that time.

He recalled his mother's crying, his father's roaring, someone seemed to come to inform them of the result of a trial, and the lights that never went out and the discussions between his father and mother that night.

"I'll go get rid of that bastard for you. We can't let him get away with it!"

"No! Arthur... No, we can't. They left no evidence. You will be sent to Azkaban... The children still need you... Fabian and Gideon - they would never want to see..."

Memories gradually grew dim.

Charlie Weasley looked at Anos Dohorov - at this moment he looked like a fire dragon.

And not just him.

At this moment, the twins and Ron also drew their wands.

This scene caused an uproar at the scene, and the Malfoy father and son also changed their expressions slightly.

Draco Malfoy, who was already a little flustered, looked at his father at a loss.

Lucius Malfoy obviously didn't expect the situation to develop into what it is now.

"Oh, that's interesting."

But at this moment, Anos Dohorov sneered.

"Are you accusing me? But you have to know that no one in the Auror Office found any evidence at the time, which is enough to prove my innocence!"

He grinned and pointed at the Weasleys in front of him: "Not to mention, Minister Fudge has decided to appoint me as the head of the latest 'Dark Arts Inspection Team'... Contrary to your unfounded slander, I am the one responsible for investigating and arresting dark wizards."

"You're going to cast a spell on me? Huh? I guarantee you'll be sent to Azkaban as dark wizards and be 'taken care of' by the Dementors!"

He said so.

Then he glanced at Hermione and Hermione's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Granger, in the crowd.

"And you – Granger, I heard about… a Mudblood. Are those your parents?"

He sneered, "Two Muggles? Right?"

"How pathetic! You are of such lowly descent—how dare you appear before me?"

And there is no doubt about it.

His words completely angered everyone present.

"Shut up!"

"Don't insult my child's friends!"

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley cast the spell almost simultaneously, and Charlie did not hesitate to chant the spell either.

Ron also recited his best slug curse.

Of course, they all probably know the price of acting now—they will most likely be charged.

but...

The Weasley family, it's always been like this.

But the next moment...

"Buzz!"

On Anos Dohorov's right hand, a green ring suddenly emitted light.

A magical barrier protected him, blocking all the spells cast by everyone.

At the same time, the sneer on Anos's lips became more obvious.

He raised his hands proudly. "Your spells are weak—but I possess a powerful magical item... an alchemical creation from Master Freeman three hundred years ago... Would you like to know its price?"

He sneered, "That's a number you poor Weasleys can never imagine in your lifetime."

As he spoke, he also raised his wand.

"And now—you rashly cast a spell on members of the Ministry of Magic's 'Dark Arts Investigation Team'. I have reason to suspect that you are all dark wizards... I want to arrest you..."

He only said half of his words.

Because at this moment...

"boom!"

A figure flew over from a distance.

The figure was shrouded in a black robe, and Anos Dohorov could not see the other person's specific identity.

So he subconsciously stretched out his right hand and tried to defend himself with the magic ring in his hand.

"Buzz!"

The magic barrier reappeared, but the next moment...

"Buzz!"
