Before Green could finish speaking, Wentworth hugged him and said:

“It’s alright, Green. In fact, I’d love for you not to go there. Just you wait, it won’t be long before I beat you to a pulp.”

Hearing Wentworth's words, Green seemed to still feel some regret as he said:

"Keep dreaming!"

At that moment, Cedric gently hugged Green and whispered in Green's ear:

"Don't worry, we'll be careful!"

Seeing Wentworth, Cedric, and Green embracing, Dumbledore's smile widened, and he then spoke:

“Alright Wentworth, I will notify him to come as soon as possible, but since he is neither a professor at Hogwarts nor a current student, he cannot enter Hogwarts.”

“I will arrange for him to stay in Hogsmeade Village, and every weekend thereafter, I will take the two of you there to study with him. By the way, his name is Lupin, Remus John Lupin!”

In the days that followed, while Wentworth and Cedric awaited their weekend trip to Hogsmeade to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts from Lupin, the wizarding world outside Hogwarts was in turmoil, a time of great anxiety and uncertainty.

On the surface, almost all the Aurors in the British Ministry of Magic ended their vacations and, under the leadership of the new head of the Auror Office, Rufus Scrimgeour, countless Aurors searched for a group of wizard hunters who had illegally entered the country.

For a time, the entire British magical community was filled with unease.

However, these Aurors, who had received top-notch training and represented the strongest fighting force of the British Ministry of Magic, were not lacking in combat ability, but they were less than satisfactory in finding people, and after several days, they seemed to have achieved very little.

Just as the many dark wizards hiding in Britain were mocking the incompetence of the British Ministry of Magic, the appearance of another group of wizards startled them, causing them to scatter and flee.

Inside what appears to Muggles as just a dilapidated wooden hut, the rooms are filled with many strange and magical items.

At this moment, in this room where the Seamless Expansion Charm had been cast, Abernathy sat at the head of a long table.

On either side of the long table, numerous wizards sat in order. Some of them had gray hair, but there were also a few young wizards who sat upright and didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

Each wizard held a piece of paper in their hand, and everyone was discussing the contents of the paper.

A white-haired wizard glanced at the young wizard sitting beside him and asked with a smile:

"What's your name? Whose child are you?"

Upon hearing this, the young wizard immediately turned around and replied very respectfully:

“My name is Austin Greengrass, and I come from the pure-blooded Greengrass family!”

Upon hearing this, the old wizard slowly nodded and said:

"Oh, I know you. It's remarkable that you, as one of the Twenty-Eight Holy Families of England, haven't forgotten your oaths and haven't joined Voldemort's ranks!"

The young man, who called himself Austin Greengrass, said with a smile:

“Back then, Voldemort’s men once found my father. I still remember that night when countless dark wizards broke into our family and demanded that we follow Voldemort.”

“My father firmly refused them, which terrified me. Just when I thought they were going to attack, my father pulled out this!”

As Austin Greengrass spoke, he pulled a pendant from his pocket. It was a triangle enclosing a circle, with a vertical line running through it—the very symbol of the Deathly Hallows.

Looking at the pendant in his hand, Austin Greengrass said rather reverently:

“I could see their hesitation. They still wanted to fight, but they were afraid of something. In the end, the leader of the Death Eaters simply said, ‘You will regret this. When we come back, you will know that you have missed your only hope for survival,’ and then he left.”

"It was then that I realized we were loyal to the great Gellert Grindelwald! We are the great UMNO! So, as soon as I received news of the UMNO's gathering, I rushed over immediately. Our Grindelwald family has never forgotten the oath of our ancestors, for the greater good!"

Chapter 83 The Actions of the UMNO

After listening to Austin Greengrass's story, the old wizard said with some surprise:

"Since you are a child of the Greengrass family, then where is your father?"

Austin Greengrass said with a somewhat sad expression:

“After my father refused the Death Eaters’ invitation, his health suddenly began to deteriorate. I always suspected that the Death Eaters had secretly attacked my father. After treatment, my father’s health did not continue to deteriorate, but he never recovered. A few years ago, my father left us.”

Upon hearing this, the old wizard slowly nodded and said:

"It's such a pity. Your father studied black magic with me when he was young. Now our new leader has emerged in the Wushi Party. Don't worry, if your father was really killed by the Death Eaters, we will never forget this grudge."

"Your perseverance is meaningful. The future Greengrass family will become even more glorious because of your dedication!"

Austin Greengrass nodded emphatically upon hearing this.

Just then, Abernathy, who was at the head of the long table, coughed twice, and the room immediately fell silent. Then, Abernathy slowly said:

"You've reviewed the plans, haven't you? If there are no further questions, then let's begin! It's time for the magical world to remember our name!"

The wizards present nodded one by one, their eyes filled with fervor. Then, they all used Apparition to act according to the plan.

In Knockdown Lane, England, not far from Borgin-Bock's Magic Shop, there is a striped rubbish bin.

A bald wizard walked past and took a few steps forward. Then, he suddenly turned around and, after confirming that no one was following him, took a few steps back and came to the trash can.

The bald wizard drew his wand and tapped it lightly on the stripes of the trash can. Suddenly, a crack appeared in the ground next to the trash can, revealing a straight staircase leading downwards.

The bald wizard then looked around again before heading straight down the straight staircase to the ground.

The bald wizard descended, amidst a constant stream of noise from below. Soon after, a spacious underground bar appeared before him.

The bald wizard scanned the bar and, seeing no suspicious people, went straight to a private room on one side of the bar.

Pushing open the door, the bald wizard found the private room empty. He was slightly surprised. Just then, a magic wand suddenly appeared on his temple, pointing at him. Then, a figure wearing a cloak appeared beside him.

The bald wizard remained motionless. After a moment, the cloaked figure slowly lowered his wand and sat down in the inner corner of the private room.

Seeing this, the bald wizard breathed a sigh of relief and then went over to sit down.

"How's the situation outside?"

The cloaked figure asked in a hoarse voice.

The bald wizard slowly shook his head and said:

“Recently, the Aurors of the British Ministry of Magic have gone mad. Many Portkey merchants have gone into hiding. I have spotted some suspicious figures around the few Portkey merchants who haven’t gone into hiding. I suspect they are Aurors from the Ministry of Magic, so I haven’t dared to approach them.”

Upon hearing the bald wizard's answer, the cloaked wizard slowly nodded and said:

"I never expected this incident to escalate to such a huge extent. It seems I can no longer stay in Britain."

The bald wizard asked curiously:

"Then how do we leave? Just use Apparition to go back to America? I don't have that much magic!"

After a moment of silence, the cloaked wizard spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Get ready, we'll travel to other European countries first, and then use the door key to return to the United States from those countries."

Upon hearing this, the bald wizard slowly nodded, then said with some annoyance:

"Damn it, not only did we not make much money on this trip, we're probably going to lose a lot! It was a really bad deal!"

The hooded wizard, however, said dismissively:

"We are wizard hunters. As long as we live, we will always have Galon."

Just as the two were discussing things in the private room of the underground bar, several wizards suddenly appeared in Knockturn Alley above, including Austin Greengrass and the old wizard.

As soon as he appeared, Austin Greengrass was surprised to find that the wizards who were with him had tacitly spread out and stood in a guarded position, leaving only one wizard standing in front of the trash can.

As the wizard tapped the stripes on the trash can with his wand, a crack appeared in the ground, revealing a straight staircase leading downwards.

As the stairs appeared, a wizard who had been on guard simultaneously pointed his wand downwards. Only after confirming that there was no immediate danger did the wizard who had been knocking on the trash can take his wand and step inside.

As the wizard descended, the other wizards frantically cast spells around him. Austin Greengrass stared blankly at his surroundings, and moments later, the area became a forbidden zone for apparitions.

"What are you looking at? Let's go!"

It wasn't until the old wizard patted Austin Greengrass on the shoulder that Austin Greengrass realized what was happening and followed in his footsteps down.

As Austin Greengrass walked down the stairs, he glanced back and saw that the last wizard had not come down with him. Instead, the wizard had cast an invisibility spell on himself and hidden in a corner of the ground.

The operation, which lasted less than a minute, truly shocked Austin Greengrass. As a descendant of one of the Twenty-Eight Holy Families of England, Austin Greengrass did not consider himself an unsophisticated wizard, but he had never seen anything like what happened in that short minute before.

Austin Greengrass now understood why the Sorcerers had been able to sweep across Europe and America, leaving many of the Ministry of Magic's Aurors helpless. At least, the Aurors he had encountered in the past lacked such coordination and execution.

Just then, the outpouring of venting below pulled Austin Greengrass back to reality from his thoughts.

As the group ventured deeper, a spacious underground bar came into view.

As soon as Austin Greengrass and his group appeared in the bar, they attracted a lot of attention.

A scantily clad female bartender strode over, first approaching the old wizard, and said coquettishly:

"Grandpa, you're so old, why are you still coming here to play? You should go back and get some rest!"

Then, the bartender turned around again, almost lying on Austin Greengrass, and said:

"This young man is quite suitable for this place."

But no sooner had the bartender finished speaking than the old wizard grabbed her small hand, pulled her back to his side, and said with a smile:

"Don't you think he's too green? Men are like wine; the older they get, the better they become!"

Meanwhile, the other wizards in the group had already started walking around the bar.

Chapter 84 Still Glorious, Not a Remnant

Hehehehe!

After hearing the old wizard's words, the beautiful bartender let out a melodious chuckle, then covered her mouth and said:

"You're very interesting. So, what would you like to order?"

The old wizard, with his arm around the bartender's, said with a broad smile:

"We wanted to come here to meet some friends. My friend told me they're here. Do you know them?"

Upon hearing the old wizard's words, the bartender's smile froze, then she laughed as she broke free from his embrace, shaking her head and saying:

"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. We only have some ordinary customers who like to drink."

Hearing the bartender's reply, the old wizard didn't take it to heart. He casually pulled out a handful of Galleons from his pocket. The golden color was so eye-catching in the dimly lit underground bar that it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Austin Greengrass noticed that the bartender's gaze was immediately drawn to him, and her previously wary eyes became slightly more alluring.
