Snape turned his head away and ignored Lupin.

Seeing this, Lupin was not angry, but just smiled and said:

"Thank you for the wolfsbane potion."

After hearing this, Snape turned around and said expressionlessly:

"You're welcome, your good student. I've already paid enough gold galleons."

Lupin looked back at Wentworth, smiled and nodded, and said: "When we were in school, we..."

However, before Lupin could finish his words, he was interrupted by Snape. Snape looked at Lupin coldly and said, "I don't want to talk about the past anymore!"

Hearing Snape's words, Lupin could only smile helplessly and nodded.

At this time, Dumbledore looked back at the two of them, then asked everyone to leave.

Lupin walked straight into an alley in Hogsmeade village and disappeared a moment later.

Dumbledore took Wentworth and walked towards Hogwarts, with Professor McGonagall and Snape following behind them, with an implicit feeling that Wentworth was protected in the center.

All of them were experienced wizards, and they did this out of fear that the other party would suddenly attack Wentworth when they relaxed.

When the group passed by the Hog's Head Inn, Wentworth took a look inside and found that the Inn was still crowded with people, and several goblins from Gringotts had already fallen asleep on the table.

Then, Wentworth exchanged glances with a veiled wizard in the bar, and Wentworth nodded slightly.

Shortly after Wentworth followed Dumbledore's footsteps and walked out of Hogsmeade village.

A moment later, many wizards emerged from all over Hogsmeade village. No one knew where they had been hiding before, but at this moment, they gradually gathered at the door of the Hog's Head Inn.

Afterwards, several wizards also walked out of the Hog's Head Bar. A wizard wearing a veil slowly took off his veil. It was Rosier.

Facing the group of wizards who suddenly emerged in front of him, Rosier said in a stern tone: "Everyone, seal off Hogsmeade first, don't let anyone escape! Then, investigate the origins of every wizard in Hogsmeade. Anyone who tries to escape must be killed, even if it means killing the wrong person!"

In an instant, the wizards who had gathered in front of the Pig's Head Bar scattered.

Dumbledore, who was originally walking towards Hogwarts with Wentworth, seemed to suddenly sense something, stopped and looked behind him.

Seeing Dumbledore's actions, Snape and Professor McGonagall were a little confused, and also looked back following Dumbledore's gaze.

Then, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape both looked surprised.

I saw that the Hogsmeade village behind me was covered by a translucent film in a short time.

Seeing this scene, Professor McGonagall and Snape subconsciously turned their gazes to Wentworth, only to see that Wentworth at this moment also had his mouth wide open with a look of surprise on his face.

And Dumbledore suddenly said, "Wentworth, isn't this a bit of a fuss?"

After hearing what Dumbledore said, Wentworth wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, retracted his surprised expression, and said, "Principal Dumbledore, this is to prevent someone from being desperate. If someone panics and escapes into Hogwarts and hurts my dear classmates, I will be very sad."

Professor McGonagall said with a worried look on her face:

"Will this attract the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic?"

This time, before Wentworth could speak, Dumbledore spoke first: "In recent years, there have always been some wizards who have made mistakes and chose to hide in Hogsmeade Village. It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to clean them up. This is also for the safety of the students."

After hearing what Dumbledore said, Professor McGonagall shut her mouth and stopped talking.

At this time, the village of Hogsmeade was in chaos.

But after Abernathy used the amplifying spell to say that the Witch Party was only trying to capture wizards who were hostile to them, and did not intend to declare war on Hogsmeade village.

The vast majority of wizards in Hogsmeade chose to give up resistance. After all, they couldn't win by fighting, and the enemy wasn't coming for them anyway, so many wizards chose to wait and see.

During the search, the Witch Party deliberately exercised restraint and did not destroy the buildings in Hogsmeade village, nor did they kill people indiscriminately.

Of course, not all wizards chose to cooperate. There were always some wizards who tried to resist.

Carlo and others, with the wizards of the Witch Party, patrolled the village of Hogsmeade. Wherever a fight broke out, they rushed forward without any intention of reasoning with the other side.

Whenever a Wiccan wizard discovers a suspicious person, those who cooperate will be "escorted" by the Wiccan wizard to Abernathy and drink a few drops of truth serum.

As for those wizards who don't cooperate, it's even simpler. First they use Cruciatus Curse, then Legilimency Curse. Some Wiccans are more cautious and often add an Imperius Curse.

Although there are many wizards in Hogsmeade village, they are like a pile of scattered sand and are no match for the well-organized Wizarding Party.

Soon, the entire Hogsmeade village was under the control of the Witch Party.

However, until late at night, Rosier and his companions had captured nothing except a few dark wizards wanted by the Ministry of Magic.

At the same time, outside Hogwarts Village, the first group of Aurors from the Ministry of Magic arrived under the leadership of Rufus Scrimgeour.

It was just that the Wizarding Party had cast a large-scale defensive spell around Hogsmeade village in advance, and the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic could not get in for a while.

Even so, with more and more Aurors rushing over from all directions, it was only a matter of time before the other party broke through the defensive magic set up by the Witch Party.

Seeing this, Rozier and Abernathy looked at each other and had no choice but to give up.

As the Wizarding Party left in batches, the unattended defensive magic was finally broken by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. However, when Rufus Scrimgeour led his Aurors into Hogsmeade village, the wizards of the Wizarding Party had all left.

Later, Fudge, who learned that Hogsmeade was safe at this time, finally arrived. However, the first thing Fudge did when he arrived was to order Rufus Scrimgeour to warn the wizards in Hogsmeade that everything that happened tonight must be kept secret.

Anyone who leaks what happened tonight, especially to the newspapers, will be imprisoned in Azkaban for deliberately spreading rumors.
