"Are you a wizard?" Before leaving, Burns looked at Tom and asked very seriously.
"This question doesn't matter to me, is there really a difference between being a wizard and not being a wizard?" Tom took out his wand and waved it twice, causing a string of sparks to emerge from 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, Burns was relieved: fortunately, this is still an internal wizard's problem.
After getting the exact answer, Burns put his heart back in his stomach. She could finally leave Azkaban with confidence. Although things had twists and turns, she achieved her goal.
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 the Dementors as he said, a new force would arise in the wizarding world.
Dementors have always existed, but before this, no one could truly master the power of dementors. The Ministry of Magic also focuses on dementors and drives. Dementors listen to the Ministry of Magic only because the Ministry of Magic can provide food and possess superior force, both of which are indispensable.
But things were different now, and the Dementors clearly had a leader. When the masked man says 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 can see the special attitude of the Dementors towards him - not a friend, but a master. The masked man is the owner of the Dementor.
If things go on like this, the masked man will definitely have a place in the magic world. From Ireland to Russia, his name will be known to everyone, and his name will be heard throughout the European continent.
Speaking of the name, Borns noticed that he didn't even know the name of the masked man.
...
"The Ministry of Magic will conduct a big search code-named 'Whirlwind' in Knockturn Alley—" The Ministry of Magic spokesperson on the stage read the manuscript in his hand, his mind blank. He had just received the speech, and before the press conference started, he had no idea what he was going to say.
Now he knows. There was only one question in his mind: Why was there no news of this search?
After the spokesperson read out the decision, the scene was silent. After a few seconds, the "uproar" that the spokesperson imagined did not appear. The reporters looked very calm, and they all kept their heads down and took notes.
Journalists are accustomed to such searches—those with longer careers have even gone through four or five searches. The Minister of Magic has changed from term to term, does it work? Change the soup but not the medicine.
"This time it's probably just a face project." The reporters thought so. Unlike the spokesperson, the reporters are very calm, which is poor information. The spokesperson can see from the degree of secrecy of the operation that this operation is no trivial matter. But the reporters of the newspaper were unaware of this.
At the same time, a group of people dressed in black wizard robes collectively appeared next to a nondescript shop in Diagon Alley. These wizards have a bright silver badge on their chest with the letter m shining on it.
The head of the person, with a wide body and a square chin, with short gray hair, is the current Minister of Magic.
"Enter Knockturn Alley, Operation Whirlwind begins!" She glanced at her subordinates and felt that the spirit of this group of people was not bad. They were a well-trained mixed formation of Aurors and strikers.
Then she took the lead into Knockturn Alley.
Cold knowledge, Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley are actually interconnected, but most parents of little wizards will not allow their children to approach the shops adjacent to Knockturn Alley. This has also led to very poor business in these shops, and the rent is also the lowest in Diagon Alley.
The reason is very simple. Serious wizards do not want to be associated with Knockturn Alley, and the unscrupulous wizards go shopping in Knockturn Alley directly. Who would be bored to buy things at the junction of the two alleys?
As soon as he entered Knockturn Alley, perhaps due to psychological cues, Borns felt that the light here was dimmed a lot.
There was an old witch on the dark stone path, holding in her hand what looked like a whole piece of dead man's fingernail. Hearing the footsteps, she raised her head subconsciously and grinned to reveal her mossy teeth. She felt that business was coming.
Obviously, her eyes are not very good. But when she got to the middle of the path, she finally found something wrong. The person who came didn't look like a potential customer or a fat sheep, but more like someone who came to find fault, so she decisively decided to leave.
It may be too late.
"Stop!" yelled Burns. "Grab her!"
The Aurors standing behind her trained and quickly took out their wands, and the fastest one was actually the former Minister of Magic's confidant, Auror Rodelis. After he heard that there was a search activity today, he was gearing up and in a state of high excitement. The reason is also very simple. He knew that he was valued by Fudge before, but now Fudge has collapsed! When disaster is imminent, he needs to show his loyalty in front of the new Minister of Magic-Dawlish also wants to improve! He didn't want to be an unknown little Auror all his life.
The tip of his wand spurted out a string, which tied the old witch firmly in one fell swoop. She suddenly lost her balance and threw herself on the path.
The saucer in her hand also fell to the ground, and the nails inside were flying everywhere.
"The Aurors at the Ministry of Magic are killing people!" she screamed, her voice resounding through the sky.
The sound of the arrest alarmed the entire alley, and countless wizards hiding in the shadows panicked like cockroaches who were alarmed.
"The Ministry of Magic?"
"How is it possible, I didn't receive the message!"
"Go and inform Mr. Flint!"
The whole alley was filled with such whispers. At this time, many wizards who saw the wrong situation were already ready to run away, and only those shop owners stayed where they were, waiting for the Ministry of Magic to search.
Bones glared at Delix: wouldn't you use the petrification spell to immobilize her? Well now, everyone is exposed.
Delix: …
"Minister, we'd better hurry up..." Kingsley advised from the side.
At this time, the wizards in Knockturn Alley either chose the Floo Network or Apparated, ready to leave this place of right and wrong.
But they failed ~lightnovelpub.net~ In a split second, the entire Floo network of Knockturn Alley was cut off by Burns' cronies at the Ministry of Magic - who, like Fudge, were in charge of the Ministry of Magic's Law Enforcement Division For many years, Burns also has a few reliable cronies.
Apparition was interrupted by a chill from the depths of his soul.
