"It turned out that someone from the Aiken family was arrested..." After receiving the news, Sean subconsciously chose to be suspicious.
Old Aiken, the current head of the Aiken family who lost his left hand, had previously stood up for the Wizards United Guards, which was still in its formation stage at that time. Sean almost assumed that he was the leader of the organization.
Class members.
As a result, this guy's uncle was actually arrested by the escort?
Sean approached Hugo, a native of Paris, to see if he could get some information from him.
"That news in the morning? Of course I watched it." Hugo threw an unknown snack into his mouth and said to Sean vaguely.
"Have you ever gotten to know the Aiken family?"
Hugo swallowed the food in a gulp, and then pulled Sean to a more secluded corner: "President, I heard about Aiken. His character will definitely want to take revenge on you. Why, are you planning to strike first?
"
Sean shrugged: "We'll talk about the action later. Now, can you provide me with some information?"
Hugo nodded: "I told you about the background of the Aiken family last time. As for today's news - do you want to know something about the interpersonal relationships within the Aiken family?"
"That's understandable."
"Actually, there are not many interpersonal relationships. Although the Aiken family is powerful enough, they don't have many heirs. Basically everyone in the Paris wizarding world knows it. In addition to old Aiken and his family of three, old Aiken also has two cousins and a cousin.
, there are two uncles at the top. I can’t guarantee the specific relationship, but on the surface, the relationship within the other family is quite harmonious."
Hugo poked his head outside, and after making sure no one was nearby, he whispered: "The Jobs Aiken who was arrested in the newspaper today is well known in Paris."
"Why do you say that?" Sean asked curiously.
"My brain is not working well. I have attacked Muggles and even half-blood wizards not once or twice. Every time, it was old Aiken who helped suppress him. There are only so many people in the wizarding world in Paris. Wizards with a little connections and information channels are all
You know what kind of character that guy is. I guess many people secretly applauded his arrest this time."
"He was arrested and old Aiken didn't say anything?"
Hugo spread his hands and said, "I don't know about that. It happened just this morning, and I didn't get any letters from home."
"Then let me know if you have any news?"
Hugo made an OK gesture: "I'll write back and ask, and I'll tell you at the next party."
"Thank you, Hugo."
"You're welcome - by the way," Hugo rubbed his hands with a flattering smile, "I provide information to our club, this can be considered a contribution, right?"
Sean patted the other party's thick shoulder and said seriously: "Of course - I have a hunch that you will become the first person to be promoted to a core member of our Golden Dawn."
"Really?!" Hugo's eyes started to shine, "Then, that magic spell?"
"All I can say is that I'm getting closer and closer to you." Sean drew a pie for him.
It’s not that he wanted to renege on the debt, the key point was that he got it from Grindelwald. If he wanted to teach others, Grindelwald had to agree first. If he didn’t get permission, Sean decided to teach the other party other fire spells to pay off the debt first.
.
After bidding farewell to Hugo who was full of expectations, Sean walked towards the Owlery. He had previously ordered several books such as "History of Magic" and "Saints" from other countries and wanted to learn more about it.
Sean thought about it and felt that it was not enough, so he decided to buy a few other books.
When he came out of the Owlery just now, he encountered an unpleasant face.
Fabian Aiken.
This guy is keen on provoking Sean recently, and he seems to have completely let go of the shame of being hung from the chandelier by Sean - he spread the news that Sean is the murderer.
The other party no longer cares about the shame that Sean's identity as a 'sophomore' has brought to him. His only goal now is revenge, and he doesn't care about sacrificing his own face for this.
"Wallup, we meet again." Aiken's voice was light and airy.
Sean glanced at him, shook his head casually, and walked away.
Aiken and several of his followers took two steps to the side, blocking Sean's path.
"Are you going to run away now?"
Sean sighed helplessly: "Are you too busy, Aiken?"
He was indeed a little annoyed by this annoying guy. In Nurmengard, the other party didn't dare to do anything to him, but he couldn't defeat the other party.
In this case, the best choice is to avoid seeing him - but Fabian Aiken is as hard to get rid of as candy. Every time he sees Sean, he must come up and say something harsh, even if he
There is no way to retaliate now.
"Wallup—" Aiken licked his lips sickly, "You and I both know very well that I can't retaliate against you now, and you can't deal with me anymore. The verbal entanglement doesn't seem to have any meaning."
"Hmm, so you just want to disgust me?" Sean said expressionlessly.
"That's right," Aiken nodded happily, "Wallup, as you said, I'm too busy. Thanks to you, my club's popularity has dispersed, and I don't have so many things to deal with.
"
As he spoke, he raised his hand again, and the arm that Sean had broken hung down feebly.
"Look, my injury hasn't fully healed yet. The medical office gave me a leave of absence. I don't have to attend many classes. Look, I have a lot of time now."
Sean blinked: "I'm afraid you misunderstood. Your injury has nothing to do with me."
"I'm very careful not to leave anything behind." Aiken leaned closer to his head, narrowed his eyes, and made a hoarse sound like a viper in his throat, "But I must remind you all the time, Wallop, you will eventually
One day it will fall into my hands."
"Should I show expectations?"
"No, you should enjoy the current peace now - ha." Aiken let out a nervous and hoarse laugh.
"Okay, I remember. I will eat well and study hard. Go ahead. You should worry about your--well, uncle? Whatever, I borrowed it. I borrowed it."
With that said, Sean squeezed through several people with all his strength.
Aiken did not stop him this time, but showed a ferocious smile at Sean's back.
At night, Fabian Aiken returned to his resting place. Of course, although he provoked Sean every day, he was still worried that the other party would secretly attack him. In addition to his followers living in the rooms on both sides, he also lived in the dormitory.
A lot of defensive magic has been deployed, and various alarm, repel, attack, and defense magic props are also hung everywhere.
After returning to the dormitory, he casually removed some of the bandages on his body, and his arms and legs, which were originally weak, became more flexible.
Aiken sat on the sofa with a cold face, and then took out something like a brazier.
After putting in the charcoal, the brazier placed on the coffee table burned violently soon, and a face made of charcoal appeared in it.
"Fabian." Old Aiken's voice was slightly distorted.
"Father." Aiken bowed respectfully.
"Are you still provoking that Wallop?"
"Yes - Father, I know what you want to say, but I can't do it. As long as I see his face, I can see countless faces, countless faces that laughed at me that day." Aiken's
His face was distorted, filled with anger that could not be resolved.
Old Aiken said in a calm voice: "Child, I understand your mood, but you must learn to exercise restraint."
Aiken raised his lips and said, "Father, restraint makes no sense. He and I are already enemies on the surface. He is a smart man and knows what we must be planning. No matter how I perform, he will definitely do it."
Find a way to find out the truth - so I don't have to compromise with him."
"I know, but I have to tell you, kid," Old Aiken said, "I'm very happy that you didn't fall into decadence due to such a big blow. But I also don't want your vision to be obscured by hatred in your head. A dirty
Dirty Mudbloods will only become mud under your feet, and then you will stride forward to a greater future."
Aiken's chest rose and fell a few times. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "I understand, but father, I have a request. After that, I want to see him in person."
"It's a small matter, but one thing you have to understand is that the Wizards United Guards are now the most just official organization. They must have evidence for their actions. Moreover, if anything goes wrong, you will bear the responsibility."
"Of course -" Aiken's eyes shone slightly, "Father, if your information is correct, then Wallop must be a Death Eater. As you told me, the mark of a Death Eater cannot be removed...
"
In the brazier, Old Aiken's face made of charcoal moved up and down: "But there is another thing. The Death Eaters are just a small hidden organization. They have not appeared in the sun. Even the leader of the organization is unknown. Only
You can't convict someone based on a tattoo."
Aiken smiled: "Then let's help them bathe in the sunshine."
"What about the specific plan? What about the follow-up operations? What about the possible revenge of the Death Eaters?" Old Aiken asked.
"I have already made a complete plan..." Aiken knew that this was his father's test for him, so he immediately revealed the plan he had already thought of.
After a long time, Old Aiken nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, Fabian, you have matured."
Aiken bowed gracefully and touched his chest: "Thank you for your compliment, father, then——"
"Well, let's just go ahead and do it when everything is settled."
…
The establishment of the Wizards United Guards set off an 'anti-gangster' storm in the wizarding world. After offices in various countries were established, in addition to dealing with ordinary security incidents, 'recovering old cases' became an important task of the guards.
You know, if no accidents occur, longevity is often the standard configuration for wizards, especially those powerful wizards. And pure-blood wizards have the most abundant resources and the most extensive power in the entire wizarding world, which results in even if they violate
You can live happily into your old age even if you follow the wizarding law.
Whether they are bribing Ministry of Magic officials or hiding in their own luxurious residences that no one knows about, most illegal pure-blood wizards are still living well until now.
And these people have become the targets of the Wizards United Guards.
In just a few weeks, starting with Jobs Aiken of the Aiken family, wizards were being arrested in every country in Europe that had established a joint wizarding guard office.
Most of these wizards are pure-blood wizards, and they break the law for various reasons. They attack Muggles, smuggle contraband, brew banned drugs, and conduct black magic experiments. Their criminal records were all over a few years ago, more than ten years ago, or even longer ago.
Was turned out.
This evidence comes from the testimonies of some of the victims at the time, and also from the confessions of some former Ministry of Magic officials who had accepted bribes. In short, in a short period of time, the entire wizarding world was in a state of chaos.
In the past, those high-ranking pure-blood wizards were searched and arrested one by one by members of the escort team, and even wizards with solid evidence of guilt were thrown into prison.
The wizarding world fell into a strange atmosphere. Those pure-blood families who were usually wealthy and powerful fell silent one by one, while the more numerous ordinary wizards cheered and applauded.
There is really an official organization that has begun to change this deformed social class. They have seen the vigorous and resolute actions of the Guards and the selflessness of the Guards. This makes ordinary wizards excited - they can even punish pure-blood wizards!
Of course, people who care have seen more.
In today's wizarding world, the wealth of pure-blood families spreads throughout society, and their relationships and connections are like tangled vines tied to the entire wizarding world.
In such a short period of time, so many wizards of the same level in the past were arrested. Normally, pure-blood wizards would at least be a little sad, right?
After all, no pure-blood family can guarantee that they or any of their relatives have not done anything illegal, nor can they guarantee whether the next knife will fall on their head.
Under such circumstances, such a big move by the Wizards United Guards did not cause any backlash?
From Sean's point of view, this is something very abnormal.
On the surface, the Wizards United Guards are engaged in social security matters, but to put it bluntly, the Guards are almost reforming - they are touching the cake that has been owned by the pure-blood family for thousands of years, and they are weakening the pure-blood family.
Power and wealth passed down from generation to generation.
How could it go so smoothly... This was Sean's first thought.
If there were constant protests and other activities by pure-blood families, then he could understand it, but Sean got the news from Bella and Barty Jr. - with so many arrested pure-blood wizards, very few of their families
Someone comes to intercede or put pressure.
It's like it's been discussed long ago...
Of course, the UK is an exception in this case.
Of course, accountability for past cases is also on the agenda, but the British wizarding world seems to be out of tune with other countries. Except for a few kittens and puppies, nothing bigger has happened so far.
Among the British pure-blood families, the most well-known Malfoy family, Lestrange family, and Black family are all related to him, and the heads of the families have not received any secret contact.
