The Aurors Arrive

After a brief examination, Snape finally determined that Voldemort had indeed been resurrected!

Apart from Voldemort, the owner of the Dark Mark, no Death Eater could cause such a violent reaction Dark Mark it.

At this moment, Snape's heart was filled with complex emotions: worry for Harry, anger towards Dumbledore, fear of Voldemort, and a hint of barely suppressed excitement!

Killing Voldemort completely, or better yet, killing Voldemort with his own hands, was Snape's lifelong wish!

Once Voldemort is completely dead, he can complete his redemption and peacefully go to be with Lily.

It seems I'll have to have a good talk with Dumbledore later. That double agent has had enough rest!

Just as Snape was eager to find Dumbledore to learn the details of tonight's events and devise a plan to gain Voldemort's trust, a faint fluctuation of magical energy suddenly came from the direction of the school gate, attracting his attention.

"Who are you!? How did you get through Hogwarts ' Defense Barrier!?"

Quickly drawing his Wand, Snape warily eyed the ten wizards who had appeared before him.

With just a glance, he could sense a fierce aura emanating from the other person.

He's confident he can beat one person in a one-on-one fight. But against ten opponents, he has no chance.

However, Snape was not afraid.

This is Hogwarts, after all. Several professors are present in the Triwizard Tournament arena, not far away. Dumbledore is also there.

He was confident that he could hold out until Dumbledore arrived if the other side dared to make a move.

"Auror".

The man in the lead took out his identification and showed it to Snape.

"We received intelligence that Death Eater have infiltrated Hogwarts in an attempt to disrupt the Triwizard Tournament."

In addition, we obtained our Hogwarts pass from the Hogwarts Board of Governors of Directors.

"Professor, please put down your Wand and cooperate with our investigation. Otherwise, we will consider you to be obstructing law enforcement and will take coercive measures against you."

"... Does Dumbledore know about this?"

After discovering that the Triwizard Cup had been replaced with Portkey, Snape knew that Death Eater must have infiltrated Hogwarts.

In his mind, he already had several suspects.

In reality, it's not difficult. The professors rarely leave Hogwarts, making it difficult to track their movements and launch an attack.

In addition, everyone has been working together for several years, or even more than a decade. Even if some people don't get along well, they still know each other very well.

Impersonating a professor and fooling everyone else is no easy task.

Therefore, the intruder must be a new face who only appeared at Hogwarts this year.

"He'll find out soon enough. Please, Professor."

Two Auror came to Snape's left and right, staring at him with hostile eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, Snape finally put down his Wand and, surrounded by the Auror, strode quickly toward the Triwizard Tournament arena not far away.

"Who are they, Severus?"

Just as he had calmed the Little Wizard down, Dumbledore was puzzled to see a group of strangers surrounding Snape and walking quickly toward him.

He had just sensed that someone had crossed Hogwarts ' Defense Barrier.

However, since the other party used proper means to cross the barrier instead of forcing their way through, he did not take any action but stayed where he was and waited for the other party to arrive.

"Let me introduce myself, Professor Dumbledore. I am Salomon Redman, captain of the Auror Squad."

We received intelligence that Death Eater have infiltrated Hogwarts and intend to cause trouble during the Triwizard Tournament.

Salomon was another member of the Menethil Family who was placed in the Ministry of Magic.

William, who coveted the position of Minister for Magic, racked his brains every day, trying every possible way to get people into the Ministry of Magic.

As the Ministry of Magic's most important violent agency, the Auror Office is a key target for infiltration.

"Oh? Death Eater have actually infiltrated this place? Can you tell me your source of information?"

Dumbledore looked at Salomon with surprise.

He was genuinely surprised. When did the Ministry of Ministry of Magic's intelligence agency become so capable?

"I'm sorry, Professor, this is confidential. Please forgive me."

Salomon waved his hand, and the other nine teammates behind him immediately appeared around Ludo Bagman and Alastor Moody.

They aimed their Wand steadily at their target's vitals, and would attack without hesitation should their target show any sign of resistance.

"What are you doing?! I'm the Director of Department of Magical Games and Sports! How dare you point your Wand at me! Where's Rufus? I want to see your Director! I'm going to file a complaint against you!"

Ludo Bagman looked at the Auror around him in a panic.

This was the first time he'd encountered something like this. He was terrified that the Auror ' Wand might misfire, which would mean he'd be unjustly killed!

"You brats, when I was Auror, you were still drinking milk. Now you dare point your Wand at me? Watch out, or I'll teach you a lesson!"

Moody's Magic Eye darted rapidly in their sockets, observing the every move of the Auror around him.

He was observing these Auror and trying to find a flaw in them.

"Since one of you is the Director of the Ministry of Magic and the other is a senior Auror, I think you should be very familiar with our Auror procedures."

Therefore, please give up resisting and hand over your Wand. Once we have examined you and confirmed your innocence, we will release you.

In addition, if you want to file a complaint, you can do so freely after tonight.

That is, assuming you are all safe and sound by then.

Salomon said calmly.

He doesn't care whether the other party will complain about him.

If the plan succeeds, after today, the Menethil Family will have a firm foothold in the Auror Office and will not be afraid of those trivial complaints.

If the plan goes wrong, at most he'll resign and return to his family's position. Frankly, he'd prefer that.

As Salomon finished speaking, one of the Auror surrounding Bagman and Moody emerged and slowly approached them, reaching for the Wand at their waists.

Bagman gritted his teeth in anger. He decided that the first thing he would do after arriving at work the next morning was to go and complain to Rufus Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office!

These Auror are getting more and more outrageous!

Even though he was furious, Bagman did nothing and let the Auror take his Wand away.

This is absolutely not because he's a coward or anything! He's just following the rules of the Ministry of Magic!

After all, he is a director, and it wouldn't be right for him to bully others in public.
