"Are you a wizard?" Before leaving, Bones looked at Tom and asked seriously.
"In my opinion, this question is not important. Is there really any difference between being a wizard and not being a wizard?" Tom took out the wand from his arms and waved it twice, causing a string of sparks to appear on the tip of the wand. "But
Since you want to know, I can give you a specific answer. I am a wizard, a wizard who is good at communicating with dementors and maintains a friendly relationship with them."
Looking at the wand in Tom's hand, Bones felt relieved: Fortunately, this is still an internal problem for the wizard.
After getting the definite answer, Bones's anxious heart returned to her stomach. She could finally leave Azkaban with peace of mind. Although things had some twists and turns, her goal was achieved.
On the way back to the Ministry of Magic, she began to carefully recall the conversation just now. She realized that if the masked man could really communicate with dementors as he said, then a new power would rise in the magical world.
.
Dementors have always existed, but before this, no one has ever been able to truly master the power of dementors. The Ministry of Magic also mainly intimidates and drives Dementors. Dementors listen to the Ministry of Magic just because the Ministry of Magic
It can provide food and possess superb force, both of which are indispensable.
But things are different now. The Dementors obviously have a leader. The masked man said that he is good at communicating with them and maintains a good relationship with them. It is purely self-effacing. As long as Bones is not blind, he will
It can be seen that the dementors have a special attitude towards him - not a friend, but a master and slave. The masked man is the master of the dementors.
If things go on like this, there will definitely be a place for the masked man in the wizarding world. From Ireland to Russia, his name will be known to everyone, resounding throughout the entire European continent.
When it came to names, Bones realized that he didn't even know the name of the masked man.
…
"The Ministry of Magic will conduct a large-scale search of Knockturn Alley, codenamed 'Tornado' -" The spokesperson of the Ministry of Magic on the stage was reading the manuscript in his hand, and his mind went blank. He had just received the speech manuscript,
Before the press conference started, he had no idea what he was going to say.
Now he knew. There was only one question in his mind: Why was there no news about this search?
After the spokesperson read out this decision, the scene fell silent. After a few seconds, the "uproar" imagined by the spokesperson did not appear. The reporters seemed very calm, and they all lowered their heads and took notes.
Journalists have become accustomed to this kind of search - those who have been working for a long time have even experienced four or five searches. The Minister of Magic has been changed one term after another, is it effective? Changing the soup does not change the medicine.
"This is probably just a face-saving project." The reporters thought so. Unlike the spokesperson, the reporters were very calm. This was the information gap. The spokesperson could see from the confidentiality of the operation that this operation was no small matter. But
The newspaper reporters were completely unaware of this.
At the same time, a group of people wearing black wizard robes appeared next to an inconspicuous shop in Diagon Alley. On the chests of these wizards, there was a bright silver badge with the letter M shining brightly.
The leader, with a broad build, a square chin, and short gray hair, is the current Minister of Magic.
"Entering Knockturn Alley, Operation Whirlwind begins!" She glanced at her subordinates and felt that they were in good spirits and were a well-trained mixed team of Aurors and strikers.
Then she took the lead into Knockturn Alley.
Trivia: Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley are actually connected to each other, but most parents of little wizards will not allow their children to approach the shops adjacent to Knockturn Alley. This also leads to these few
The business of this shop is very poor, and the rent is the lowest in Diagon Alley.
The reason is very simple. Serious wizards don’t want to be associated with Knockturn Alley, while unscrupulous wizards go directly to Knockturn Alley for shopping. Who would be bored and shop at the junction of two alleys?
Upon entering Knockturn Alley, Bones felt that the light here was much dimmed, perhaps due to psychological suggestion.
There was an old witch on the dark stone path. She was holding a plate of something that looked like a dead man's fingernail in her hand. When she heard the footsteps, she subconsciously raised her head and opened her mouth to reveal her moss-covered teeth. She felt that business was coming.
Already.
Obviously, her eyesight was not very good. But when she walked to the middle of the path, she finally discovered something was wrong. The people who came did not look like potential customers or fat sheep, but more like looking for trouble, so she decisively
decided to run away.
But it's too late.
"Stop!" Bones yelled, "Get her!"
The Aurors standing behind her took out their wands quickly with good training. The fastest one was Auror Lux, the confidant of the former Minister of Magic. After he heard about the search activity today, he was gearing up and in a high state.
Excited state. The reason is also very simple. He knows that he was valued by Fudge before, but now Fudge has collapsed! When the disaster is approaching, they will fly away. He needs to show his loyalty in front of the new Minister of Magic - Delis also wants to make progress! He doesn't want to
Spend your whole life being a little unknown Auror.
A jet of rope spurted out from the tip of his staff, which immediately tied the old witch tightly. She suddenly lost her balance and fell down on the path.
The plate in her hand also hit the ground, and the nails inside flew everywhere.
"The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic are killing people!" she screamed, her voice echoing through the sky.
The sound of arrest alarmed the entire alley, and countless wizards hiding in the dark panicked like cockroaches that were alarmed.
"Someone from the Ministry of Magic?"
"How is it possible? I didn't receive the message!"
"Go and notify Mr. Flint!"
The whole alley was filled with such whispers. At this time, many wizards who saw something was wrong were already preparing to run away. Only the shop owners remained in place with sad faces, waiting for the Ministry of Magic to search.
Bones glared at Delis: Wouldn't you use a petrifying spell to immobilize her? Now, everyone is exposed.
Deluxe:……
"Minister, we'd better hurry up..." Kingsley advised from the side.
At this time, the wizards in Knockturn Alley must either choose the Floo Network or disapparate, preparing to leave this place of right and wrong.
But they failed.
At this moment, the entire Floo network in Knockturn Alley was cut off by Bones' cronies left in the Ministry of Magic. Like Fudge, Bones, who has been in charge of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic for many years, also has several reliable people.
Confidant.
The disembodiment was interrupted by a chill that came from the depths of the soul.
