Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 522: Suspicious correspondence

In recent days, it has been nothing new for someone to write to him. Since he wiped out the two generations of the Dark Lord in one fell swoop, the number of people who know him has increased daily, and letters have been sent to him from time to time.

But today's letter looks quite different.

It can be seen that the envelope is a special specification of the Ministry of Magic of the United Kingdom, and the sealing fire lacquer is clearly knocked on the large "M" logo of the Ministry of Magic, and a large bright wand stands in the middle of the letters.

However, when Maca lifted the envelope and pulled it out, there was only a copy inside. Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to the past by the "latest report" printed on the front page of the newspaper.

"... 'The ghost robbed the dungeon in the Ministry of Magic, the Death Eaters flee again'?"

The headline of this report is very eye-catching. A title alone occupies almost one-eighth of the front page, which makes it difficult to miss it.

Of course, as far as this positive headline is concerned, although it is really eye-catching, ordinary people generally don't see any profound meaning in it. The subtitle just following it is more interesting.

"Skillinger's seat doesn't seem to sit very securely?" A faint smile seemed to hang at the corner of Maka's mouth, and it was a playful attitude.

The subtitle is written like this:

"I am surprised to see the inner ghost appearing! Is it partially loose in the Auror's office, or the overall negligence of the British Ministry of Magic?"

Compared to the straightforward and clear outline of the main title, the subtitle is obviously carried with a lot of private goods.

First of all, the current Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, was originally the director of the Auror office. Everyone knows this. The subtitle was first listed on Scrimgeour's old department. .

After that, it simply covered the entire Ministry of Magic, which was really merciless.

Immediately after reading these two titles, Maca's mind was somewhat counted. But after a habitual glance at the newspaper date, he had a little more thought on his face.

This newspaper is not today's news, but "tomorrow". In other words, this is a so-called "final newspaper", which is the original version that has not yet been formally published. Or, this is simply "sample paper" that has not been proofread by an editor.

Thinking about it that way, he flipped through the next few pages, and saw that several parts were still blank.

It can be seen that although Scrimgeour's work seems to be fierce, he is thick and thin. Right now, even if someone is still staring at the seat under his ass, he is not so good at dealing with it, and he has also buried his own dark line in the media section.

In other words, the newspaper was "stolen" by him.

"It seems that this is true, otherwise Scrimgeour would not have given me this one ..." Maka groaned secretly. "Just, as far as he used the Ministry of Magic's letter channel directly to see, he There seems to be a lot of control over the Ministry of Magic? "

The meaning of this letter is actually very clear, that is to ask Maca to help and resolve this robbery. However, if this matter is really related to Scrimgeour's ministerial position, he would not have so boldly delivered the letter in the name of the Ministry of Magic.

After a moment of contemplation, Maca flashed a stun in her eyes before shaking her head again.

"... That's it," he chewed on the deep meaning, and suddenly understood how Dumbledore became his principal, "if there is no power cell, this is an ordinary letter of help for me That's it. "

The so-called smart, in fact, has many directions. Some people are clever in their struggle for power and profit, and they are inherently good at managing conspiracies and tricks of all kinds of rights and benefits; while others are smart at learning and creating, they usually learn from enjoyment, and then reach the peak in some fields.

This letter can actually be received by anyone. A stupid person should have obtained a free newspaper; ordinary clever people would probably think of it as a help letter; only those who have a certain ability to analyze the power field will find the hidden "show good" in it And "tempting."

In fact, in Scranger's ward before, when Scrimgeour came over with Dumbledore's will, his temptation had begun. It was just that Maca was a bit perfunctory from beginning to end, showing an ambiguous attitude. Perhaps because of this, he slammed Maca's door again this time through this "inner ghost robbery".

For a man like Scrimgeour who wants to be a good Minister of Magic, a witch with a powerful magical power like Maca is an unavoidable obstacle. He neither willingly accepts this potential cooperative force, nor May easily kick him down.

So now, Maca is almost certain that if he solves this broken thing for Scrimgeour, waiting for him will be a generous reward. Most of this reward will not be cheesy things like Jin Jialong, but something that is invisible, but very valuable.

Of course, if he isn't smart enough, after the help is handed in, the reward may really turn into the vulgar Jin Jialong.

And this is roughly what he agreed to help.

If he refuses this time, whether or not he sees Scrimgeour's true intentions, there may be some gap between him and the Minister of Magic in the future.

"Rufus Scrimgeour ..." Marka said the name once, and then sighed, "I can't see it?"

Whether he wants to sign this profound cooperation document or not, at least for him, it doesn't matter much whether he helps or not. He was not very interested in those things that were powerful and powerful, and never intended to take over President Hogwarts. That would not be the life he wanted.

These speculations and conjectures are long, but they are actually just a matter of minutes. After thinking about it, Maca stunned the newspaper again and read through the specific content of the article.

The long news that covers the entire page is rich in detail and detailed, and the sentence is well written. The entire incident is added to the background of the various people involved, and it is filled in with great care. A total of three magic photos were inserted in the middle.

In this article by the elder, the most frequently appeared was a staff member of the Ministry of Law's Law Enforcement Department, whose name Maca had never heard of, but he was the protagonist of the incident-that name. The so-called "inner ghost".

There was a lot of noise in this incident. At that time, there was even a big fight in the atrium hall of the Ministry of Magic. Whether it was an ordinary wizard who went to the Ministry of Public Affairs to do business or a staff member of the Ministry of Magic, many people witnessed it After the mighty pursuit and escape.

Fighting inside the Ministry of Magic did not dare to do it even while Voldemort was still alive, but who knew it happened after Voldemort was destroyed.

According to a newspaper description, the scene was quite hot at the time. Although the Voldemorts who were arrested and awaiting trial looked quite embarrassed, once they picked up the wand, they would never be softened. Only in the first round of fighting, the Auror and the Death Eater suffered casualties in an instant.

After that, both sides chased and fled, the Aurors chased and attacked, but the Death Eaters fought and retreated. After the two sides lost a lot of manpower to each other, the "inner ghost" somehow opened a closed flyway fireplace, and the remaining Death Eater Remnants disappeared into the tragic green flames. in.

Throughout this article, the identity and behavior of the inner ghost, as well as some past work and life, are interspersed between the articles. And among those seemingly real information, the faint point was directed at the Minister of Magic Scrimgeour.

Maca only swept through the dense text, and then his sight was drawn to one of those three photos.

It was a scene where the Death Eaters were playing in the foyer while retreating. The action in the black and white magic photo was clearly visible. Each Death Eater held his own wand and waved desperately ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ A gray magic beam poured down the other side like rain.

In the close range of the photo, many crowded onlookers receded in panic, showing the fear on their faces.

The Death Eaters are not in love-even one person has no hesitation. Although they are not good at cooperating, they are mostly fighting each other, but they are better than ordinary Aurors in their individual strength. After casting the spell, they retreated hurriedly, but not too reluctantly.

But this is actually very strange, because which Death Eater would be the guy who likes to retreat? You know, most of the black wizards who escaped from Azkaban, most of them are madmaniacs. In such a fiery situation, how could he retreat in such a rhythmic and orderly manner?

Maca handled a lot of large and small case files from the Order of the Phoenix, so he immediately discovered the problem and noticed some clues in that not-so-combat picture.

He found that the Death Eaters appeared to be purposefully escaping the Ministry of Magic. Or to be more precise, this guy ’s jail action seems to have an extremely important central task.

So, Maca took this conjecture and carefully searched in that photo, including the look, action and standing of each Death Eater ...

Then, in the messy Death Eater crowd, he saw a big acquaintance with suspicious details.

"Is this Bellatrix?" Marka muttered in surprise, "... well, it really is her."

He certainly didn't recognize the big acquaintance, but the other's behavior in the photo was a bit unusual. It seemed to retreat with the Death Eaters, but the wand waving wildly showed no signs of casting a spell. .
