Neville was accompanied by his relatives. Although these two relatives looked a little confused, they looked at Neville as if they were seeing a miracle.
Anton could almost feel the strange smell in the air. While Professor McGonagall and the two family members peeked at him from time to time, Dumbledore, who was winking playfully at him, rolled his eyes and found an excuse to sneak out.
He came to the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic again.
Forehead.
Anton suddenly reacted. He wondered whether the Aurors and Death Eaters affected by his whole-body binding spell had been released. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be particularly difficult. Ordinary counter-curses would not work. You can also use the curse to stop.
To lift it, if it really doesn’t work, it should be possible.
He first went back to school and brought over magic boxes No. 666 and No. 411.
By the way, by coincidence, I had dinner in the school auditorium on time.
When we arrived at the Ministry of Magic, it seemed a little quiet here.
The Ministry of Magic has some strict regulations on entry and exit. Under normal circumstances, guests enter the lobby on the eighth underground floor through a phone booth and take an elevator. Internal employees usually flush themselves into the Ministry of Magic through the toilets in public toilets, which is probably
A kind of portkey magic.
Aurors have some privileges. Everyone can apparate directly to their own floor.
Located on the left side of the second basement floor.
Along a long corridor, on the right are the Wizengamot Management Agency, the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Magic (Director Umbridge), and the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Items (Director Arthur). Aurors over there do not have the authority to phantom directly.
Apparated in the past.
After walking a few steps in the dark corridor, Anton suddenly heard Scrimgeour's low growl coming from a cubicle in the Auror office on the left.
He raised his head and looked at it in surprise. There was no name on the door number. It was obviously a vacant office.
"Lucius Malfoy, I think you understand what I'm talking about?"
Anton raised his eyebrows in surprise, his eyes lit up, he looked around, and quietly moved closer to the office.
"Scrimgeour, I don't know what you mean. I came here with good intentions to give you the magic book, not to get the news because of what you said!" Lucius's voice was a little angry, "Merlin's beard, I came here from my heart.
Came here with good intentions!”
"Aha~ You hateful Death Eater, you told me that you have good intentions, oh, don't quibble, although I can't catch you in Azkaban, but you remember, I know, I know
Yes, you are a Death Eater. And..." Scrimgeour's voice became extremely cold, "I have always remembered that you brought Grindelwald to my house to find me, in front of my family, in front of me.
In front of your three-year-old grandson, invite me to join you..."
"You can't blame me!" Lucius's voice rose. "Don't you think I'm a victim? Do you think I wasn't coerced? That's Grindelwald!"
"It's really ridiculous. When you were caught by us for the Wizengamot trial, you said you were coerced and had the Imperius Curse cast on you. Now that you are working for Grindelwald, you also said you were coerced?"
"Scrimgeour..." Lucius let out a long sigh, "You may not believe it, but I was coerced by Dumbledore at first, and then strangely, Dumbledore turned into Grindelwald.
I am also very helpless. If you think about it from my perspective, am I not afraid of death?"
"Haha~" Scrimgeour sneered, "Who knows what your Malfoy family thinks, you like to engage in intrigues."
"you!"
"Scrimgeour, you are as smelly and hard as the stones in the ditch. How many times must I say, I am here to deliver books, not to inquire about the Death Eaters!" Lucius shouted aggrievedly.
, "You should know that our Malfoy family has ambitions for the Ministry of Magic, and we will never want to have a bad relationship with the Auror Office."
There was silence in the office for a while.
Soon, the sound of a match being lit was heard, and Scrimgeour said hoarsely, "What book?"
"Anton's new book is out, and it is absolutely subversive. "Anton's Adventure Stories: Teach You How to Defend the Life-Killing Curse". This book is definitely suitable for your Auror office!"
"What!" Scrimgeour's cry echoed throughout the corridor.
"Defense against the killing curse?"
"Yes, don't shout so loud, I can hear you." Lucius's voice sounded a little proud, "I know, Fudge definitely knows how much you need this kind of magic, especially now when you are arresting prisoners.
You need a large amount of funding to buy this book, and he will definitely talk to you about something that will force you to give in."
"Of course, you will say that you will buy it yourself and not use the department's funds, but you probably don't know how expensive this book is!"
"Look, this is my sincerity!"
After a while, Scrimgeour sighed, "What a genius..."
"Tell me, Lucius, what do you want?"
“Help me promote this book!”
"What?" Scrimgeour's voice was full of disbelief.
"Yes, help me promote this book, that's all." Lucius' voice was a little brisk, "Defensive Death Curse, this is simply the greatest invention of this century. There must be some people who buy it who don't want it.
Others have learned it, but I hope it can be seen by more people. I guess this is Anton’s original intention in writing the book.”
"Anton?" Scrimgeour's voice hesitated, "If I remember correctly, you are now serving Grindelwald. Could it be that Antony and Grindelwald..."
"Merlin's beard, how is this possible!"
Lucius screamed in surprise, and then his voice changed slightly, "Listen, Scrimgeour, you stupid old dog, I, Lucius Malfoy, was not born to be a dog for others. This
It’s investment, do you understand investment? People like you only care about immediate interests, and of course you won’t understand the thoughts of long-term investors like us!”
"Jiejiejie..." Scrimgeour sneered, "Long-term investment... Do you know how many people with excellent magical talents I have met in my life? Too many people died, inexplicably. As for wizards, there are
If he makes a mistake, any curse that he looked down upon before will take his life. I have long seen through this dangerous world. If I have not grown up completely, I have not grown up. I never look at the potential, I only look at what I see.
strength!"
"Okay, I have to leave. Your department is too busy."
Katcha, the door handle of the office turned and stopped.
"Help me do something, Lucius, our Auror office really needs your help to check some things."
The handle of the office returned to its original state again, "What's the matter?"
"Do you still remember the Muggle world witch hunting website forum that caused a sensation in the wizarding world?"
(See Chapter 394 for details)
Lucius was silent for a long time, his voice was a little strange, "Remember, the name is 'Mysterious Power'."
How could he not know? Oh, Mr. Grindelwald asked him to arrange this. Even the words "mysterious power" were named by Grindelwald himself.
"We raided a satellite ground station today and dug out a message from the head of an executive who is a senior member of the 'Mysterious Power' forum."
Lucius took a deep breath, "Did you do it?"
"Oh? Mr. Malfoy is really well-informed. Oh, I almost forgot that the Malfoy family is the only noble family in the wizarding world that has been granted status by Muggle forces."
"You don't have to mock me in a weird way!" Lucius sneered, "Our Malfoy family will never admit our noble status on the Muggle side. We have always done so before and will never do so in the future."
"Oh, who knows."
Lucius didn't care about Scrimgeour's rude words. He knew how stubborn the old man was. "This is too awesome. I heard a rumor today that Death Eaters killed an underground station."
exhausted and destroyed a satellite."
"Yes." Scrimgeour said with hatred on his face, "These hateful Death Eaters are simply violating the Statute of Secrecy wantonly. We Aurors rushed to the ground station to pursue them in time, but unfortunately we did not have time to save those Muggles.
, it was simply too cruel, blood flowed all over the floor!"
"Hey, why did I mention the Death Eaters again? Lucius, you are a cunning person, you are just here to inquire about the Death Eaters, right?"
"Lucius, activate your family's Muggle power. Don't tell me you don't have it. I won't believe it. Help me find out what kind of organization the 'Mysterious Power' forum is and why it allows satellites to spy on our wizards."
"Don't you care about Death Eaters? I can help you take care of a few people."
