"Okay, easy done!"

Lee Jordan clapped his hands and looked down at the members of the investigation team lying on the ground, feeling very satisfied with his latest achievements.

As expected, compared to the members of the Defense Association who have received formal combat training, the lambs staying in school are really weak, pitiful and helpless.

Of course, the most important thing is to let them experience the physical and mental pleasure brought by slaughtering weak enemies.

Bullying makes people happy.

"Stop bothering them, let's go help Arthur and the others!"

Dedalus Digg had the urge to cover his face. He was originally wary of the investigation team. But Lee Jordan used a low-quality inflatable doll to create a commotion, attracting all the members of the investigation team and catching them all in one fell swoop. This was the first time he had the illusion that the enemy was so stupid.

"Don't worry, Fred and George will definitely find a way to rescue them. In fact, the most troublesome thing about this operation is not this group of rubbish, but persuading the families of those who are rescued." Lee Jordan never worried that something would go wrong with the mission. Those two guys had often gone out to deal with dark wizards before, and they had rich combat experience. There was no need to worry at all. What's more, there were many members of the Defense Association acting together. With the help of the Marauder's Map, those Death Eaters couldn't make any waves at all.

"Perhaps the biggest problem on their side is that there are not enough dark wizards to go around." Lee Jordan spread his hands to his accomplices beside him and said, "It's a rare opportunity to participate in this operation. If I don't defeat the enemy, I'll probably be depressed for a long time after I go back."

The few people who followed Lee Jordan's team and had just finished bullying the weak ones couldn't help laughing. Only Dedalo Dige felt a little puzzled.

Things turned out pretty much as Lee Jordan had guessed. In order to more efficiently clear out the surrounding dark wizards (grab the kills), Fred and George decided to temporarily split up the team and take out the dark wizards who were originally ambushing in the castle to capture Dumbledore's Army.

Although the enemy had noticed it in advance and it did cause them some trouble, the level displayed by this group of dark wizards was not much better than that of ordinary wizards when facing well-trained and cheating opponents.

Especially when both sides use the Disillusionment Charm to hide themselves and prepare to launch a sneak attack on the enemy, the members of the Defense Association who often use this spell to ambush others are obviously more proficient in the Disillusionment Charm than most dark wizards.

The Wesley twins have extensive experience in fighting enemies.

Those dark wizards who thought they were hiding well were eventually easily dealt with by the members of the Defense Association using various unethical methods.

After all the dark wizards were knocked down one by one, the Weisley brothers finally led their team towards the castle dungeon.

The five family members imprisoned here had never been tortured from the beginning. Obviously, the rumors that they were tortured by the Cruciatus Curse were false. The purpose was to lure out their own children who were hiding in the Room of Requirement.

Of course, it could also be false news released by a dark wizard.

“It is indeed so!”

Looking at the four men and one woman who were talking to Mr. Wesley, Fred and George looked at each other and saw the undisguised contempt in each other's eyes.

"Okay, this is not a good place to talk, let's leave first." Fred and George interrupted in unison.

The dungeon fell into an eerie silence.

A lady was about to say something else, but was hit by a red spell and fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Hurry up."

George, who had just opened his suitcase, raised his eyebrows slightly and reminded him.

"What?"

When the other family members present were still in shock, they saw several people around them raising their wands and pointing them at them.

The next moment, the four family members were engulfed by the coma curse.

"It's not safe here. We don't have that much time to convince them. I think you know that, so don't hesitate."

George looked at Mr. Weisley who was somewhat stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered his voice to remind him, "If necessary, we will even abandon them directly and will not let their stupidity harm us."

Mr. Wesley fell into a long silence. He also realized that it was foolish to try to persuade them from the beginning. No wonder Albert always knocked people out first when saving them.

That way you don't have to waste time and can also improve efficiency.

"It is true. I don't know why they would compromise with the Death Eaters and harm their own children." Lee Jordan also came with his men and looked at the family members who were moved into the boxes. He complained, "Don't they know that the Death Eaters' words are untrustworthy?"

“They just don’t have a choice.”

Arthur sighed softly. He obviously understood why they did that. It was not because they hoped to get a stable job in the Ministry of Magic.

As for who controls the Ministry of Magic, it is actually not that important to most wizards, as long as the Ministry of Magic pays their salaries on time.

"Let's get out of here first."

Cedric put an end to these meaningless exchanges, and after moving all the family members into the suitcases, they all lined up to enter the boxes, and then the house-elf took them directly back to the Room of Requirement.

As long as we get back there, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief and the rescue operation will be considered a success.

The room was buzzing with people discussing the gains of this operation. The members who finally had the opportunity to participate in the operation also complained about the Death Eaters being too weak.

"I have sent a message to Sirius, Lupin and Kings. They will be joining us here soon."

Shanna seemed to be in a good mood. In her opinion, being able to complete the rescue operation easily was a great victory in any case.

However, everyone's good mood was soon broken by heated arguments. It was obvious that not everyone was willing to accept their rescue.

Seamus's mother, Mrs. Finnigan, is one of them.

They had a loud argument under the strange gazes of countless people, and in the end, Simo was unable to convince his mother.

What a stupid woman!

Mrs. Finnigan was thus labeled a stupid woman by most people present.

In their opinion, there were actually people who were stupid enough to believe what Voldemort and the Death Eaters said and end up harming their own sons.

Even if your brain is really stuck in the door, it would be difficult to do such a thing.

However, most adults are usually difficult to convince as long as they think they are right.

They can only take the simplest solution at the moment.

That was what Shana told them during their free time just now.

If it is impossible to convince the family members to fight against the mysterious man together, then send them away from Britain, this troubled place, for a while.

All the wizards who stayed behind have been dragged into this war. There is no such thing as neutrality.

Those who think they can remain neutral and protect themselves have simply not been affected by the war.

"It seems that you need help!" George looked at the time on his watch and kindly reminded: "I suggest that you deal with the problem as soon as possible to avoid more trouble later. Don't forget, your family is still at home. If the Death Eaters knew what happened in Hogwarts, God knows what they would do. Don't look at me like that, this is not a threat. The reputation of the Death Eaters is rotten, and it's not surprising that they would do anything."

"I'm not leaving England..."

Mr. Michael wanted to say something when he saw his son pointing his wand at him.

"Okay, I know what you mean, but I can only say that the so-called neutrality is stupid. If you don't believe me, go ask the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters if they agree with you remaining neutral." Michael fired a red spell from the tip of his wand, knocking down his father, and muttered, "I'm sorry, but I still think that you and mom should temporarily go abroad to hide for a while, and come back after the wizard war is over!"

"At least your family is still alive and well." Bones patted Michael on the shoulder and comforted him.

Michael's actions really shocked the other family members!

"Don't look at me like that. I just made the right choice for him." Michael noticed the surprised looks from others, shrugged and explained, "Those guys who believed the Death Eaters' lies went to hell in the recent Hogsmeade melee. I just hope my family can survive, that's all."

"Don't be silly. Do you really think that if you remain neutral, the Death Eaters will let you go?" Hannah thought these people were so stupid.

"Just like those 28 unlucky guys," Michael glanced at the Weiss twins and said bluntly, "When they were rescued, they were already labeled. So we should give up those stupid fantasies as soon as possible. The Death Eaters will never let us go so easily."

"You are wrong. The deaths of those 28 people last time were more due to their own choices and the brutality of the Death Eaters. They chose to leave, so they should be responsible for themselves. It has little to do with us." Shanna corrected kindly, "We have never been your babysitters. The help we can provide to you is also very limited. At most, it is like the rescue this time."

"What's more, they are all adults who need to be responsible for their own choices. You can't expect them to hide behind us like children. We actually warned the unlucky 28 people a long time ago, but they just didn't listen to our advice. We can't just force them to stay. That would be a thankless task."

"According to Albert, people who actively seek death are not worth saving." Shanna looked at the remaining four family members and said with a smile: "If you don't even have the courage to resist, I suggest you leave Britain and hide temporarily, so that the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters won't waste time looking for trouble with you. Of course, if you want to stay, I suggest you join us to fight the You-Know-Who."

Mrs. Finnigan raised her finger and pointed at Shanna, so angry that she couldn't speak.

"The portkey to leave England costs fifty Galleons," Fred said suddenly, and his words made the others even more depressed.

"Actually, what you decide is up to you," George explained with a smile. "We are just giving you some suggestions, and we have no intention of forcing you to make a choice."

"They're here," Shanna said suddenly.

Lee Jordan immediately went to open the door for Sirius, Lupin and Kings and let them into the Room of Requirement.

"If you want to leave school, you'd better come with us." Cedric reminded kindly.

He actually knew that the more they explained, the more unwilling those family members would be to listen. People are like this, and the best thing to do is to ignore them.

After the door of the Wizard of Requirement opened, Sirius and Lupin came in one after another. Both of them looked a little depressed. Kings came to say hello to Lee Jordan, and finally retreated into the room and closed the door.

"Failed?" Di Ge asked.

"Snape slipped away through the fireplace," Lupin explained to the group.

"We'd better leave as soon as possible. I'm a little worried that Snotlout will gather a bunch of Death Eaters to kill us." Sirius warned.

"Leave in ten minutes."

Shanna began to make arrangements and give instructions before leaving.

"You're right, surviving is the most important thing!"

Seamus grunted, raised his wand and knocked Mrs. Finnigan down.
