The atmosphere in the Leaky Cauldron has been heightened to the extreme.

The grief-stricken crowd began to plan matters about the parade.

The more timid are pouring glass after glass of fire whisky, eager to use alcohol to stimulate their courage.

It is foreseeable that the parade for a while will inevitably turn into a riot of beating, smashing and looting under the influence of this group of drunkards.

And looking at all this, Tom was going crazy.

He gave everyone wine for free to ease everyone's grief, not to let people drink enough to go out and make trouble.

Tom turned his head sharply and stared at Apu in front of the bar.

I saw that the smile on the corner of this guy's mouth could not be restrained, and the whole person looked triumphant.

The provocative words that the other party just said, coupled with the other party's secret French identity, it is clear at a glance what this person named Apu is.

It made Tom want to shove his face into the pan he was using to fry the bacon!

But the mere sanity kept him from doing so.

He knew very well that no matter what the other party's true identity was, the other party's filing status in the Ministry of Magic was that of a wizard in the country.

In the magic world of the country, innocent beatings of the wizards of the country will be punished.

Quite a severe punishment!

The restructured Ministry of Magic has very strict management in terms of public security, and even his Leaky Cauldron Bar will be closed if he fails to do so!

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

After taking several deep breaths in a row, Tom suppressed his anger.

He silently gestured towards the window that led to the back kitchen behind him.

The guy who was working there ran over quickly, wiping his hands with a rag while running.

"You go and inform the Ministry of Magic that someone here is agitating for a parade, and let them quickly send someone to maintain order!"

Listening to old Tom's words, the man glanced outside the bar, then nodded and quickly slipped out along the cargo handling aisle.

It wasn't until after all this was done that old Tom was relieved.

Although it was very uncomfortable to betray your companions, it was still better than watching the group of guests turn around and hang at the gate of Gringotts.

But when he turned around, he was surprised to find that the man in the suit and leather shoes in front of the bar was looking at him intently.

This made old Tom freeze.

'Have you seen all the things I sent to inform you just now? ’

Old Tom thought so, and subconsciously made a silent gesture to the man in the suit.

But the man in the suit stood up regardless, turned his head and walked towards the roaring crowd not far away.

"Everyone! Listen to me!"

The man in the suit raised his wand and said loudly.

With the flames shot from the tip of the staff, almost all eyes of the entire Leaky Cauldron Bar fell on him.

It made old Tom pale.

At this moment, he felt that he would no longer have to worry about any renovation and decoration of the Leaky Cauldron in the future.

Because once their whistleblower leaks out, these angry alcoholics will tear down the entire Leaky Cauldron!

However, the next moment, I heard the man in the suit swayingly pointed at Apu and said:

"The words this gentleman said just now are all nonsense! I know that the Daily Prophet has done many false reports before, and is even good at using various brushstrokes to obscure the truth of things, trying to cover up the truth. The eyes of the people. But at least this time around, the Daily Prophet reports are all real. The casualty numbers are real, and the Dark Mark is real! I promise that, with my life!"

After the voice fell, before waiting for the crowd to react, Apu sneered on the side:

"Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to make this guarantee? Guarantee with your life? It's really laughable!"

The crowd also burst into laughter at the right time.

Apparently, everyone didn't take the man in the suit seriously, just thought he was drunk and talking nonsense.

This kind of thing is all too common in the Leaky Cauldron.

Every night there are drunk people here who say they are the Minister of Magic.

But the man in the suit, who was haunted by countless jeers, was not as angry as a normal alcoholic.

He just calmly took out a certificate from his chest, held it up beside his face and said:

"Because I'm the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, Adam Wilson, and here's my credentials. If you don't think this is credible. Then you can go to yesterday's Daily Prophet, and it's there There was a story about the Daily Prophet's newsroom with my picture in it."

The laughter in the Leaky Cauldron stopped abruptly.

Everyone's eyes widened, and their gazes went back and forth on the face of the man in the suit and the documents. Some people even actually turned out yesterday's "Daily Prophet" for comparison.

After a brief silence, Apu continued to sneer:

"Oh! It's our editor-in-chief, why did a big man like you come here to drink? How did you do it? Do you think we would still believe you if you said such a thing?"

"Roar-"

A loud growl overshadowed Apu's voice.

Immediately afterwards, the burly man with the beard rushed out of the crowd.

He grabbed Adam's collar, lifted it up and roared:

"You are the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet. You must know what's going on at Hogwarts now, right? Tell me, how is my daughter now!?"

The burly man's words seemed to remind the people present.

Everyone suddenly realized that they rushed to Adam, eagerly inquiring about the news about their children.

But Adam couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

When the laughter was unpleasant, it was like the wailing of an old ape, and hot tears spewed out.

"The Ministry of Magic has sent letters about the child's situation as soon as the matter is over, so don't you already know about the child's situation?" Adam said loudly, "You don't want to be yourself. Lie to myself! These letters and today's Daily Prophet are real, collected from my own trip to Hogwarts! There... it's so miserable there..."

Adam suddenly began to flutter wildly as he spoke.

The burly man with the beard was originally angry, but at this moment, after hearing him say that, he was kicked twice, and he wanted to throw him directly to death!

But at this moment, a photo flew out of Adam's jacket pocket.

Upon seeing this, Adam immediately gave a strange cry, and suddenly broke free with a huge force that the burly man did not expect. Then he swooped and hugged the photo into his arms again, and began to suffer.

"Joseph! My son, my son..."

The burly man instinctively looked at the photo, and happened to catch a glimpse of the corpse of the boy who was riddled with holes, and even his neck was deformed by the rope.

This made his already raised fist froze in midair.

Not only him, but many others around him were also stunned.

Because some of them also received similar photos.

That's a photo of their child.

Cries began to sound from the crowd.

The burly man's raised fist was also powerless to hang down.

He suddenly found that he seemed to have no reason to lose his temper with the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet in front of him.

Although his daughter Rani has been tortured inhumanly, and will even have life-long incurable sequelae, she will no longer be able to give birth.

But at least his daughter is still alive.

And the man in front of him, his son is dead!

For this reason, it seems that the other party has no motive to argue for the Daily Prophet and the Ministry of Magic.

So everything written in the Daily Prophet is true?

This is a very simple truth. Everyone is just overwhelmed by anger and sadness, and they are not fools. Naturally, they can understand it.

It is precisely because of this that although the sadness in the Leaky Cauldron Bar remains, the smell of gunpowder around it has faded a lot.

In front of the bar, Apu frowned, his eyes kept rolling in the crowd, as if he was thinking about the next step.

The development of the gaffe in front of him was something he never expected.

He couldn't understand how the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet dared to jump out on this occasion to bail the Daily Prophet and the Ministry of Magic, and he couldn't understand what the madness of the Ministry of Magic was going on. We will reveal all the truth about this incident, and even send explanatory letters to the parents of every injured student!

Don't the officials at the Ministry of Magic know how much outrage this will cause?

Apu's breathing became heavier and heavier.

The situation in front of him was no longer under his control.

For now, it is unlikely that people will be willing to protest at the Ministry of Magic anymore.

All these changes made him want to punch the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet hard in the face!

But just when he was furious, he saw that the editor-in-chief was struggling to get up.

The other party carefully put away the photo, and then walked towards the Floo fireplace in the corner of the bar.

"Hey! Where are you going!?"

Apu roared like he was catching a thief, and there was a glint in his eyes.

If you can take this opportunity to pour a few more pots of dirty water on the other party's head, this matter may turn around.

However, the editor-in-chief named Adam said without looking back:

"I'm going to the Ministry of Magic, and I'm going to ask them to be clear. My son can't die in vain."

"You… are you going to protest at the Ministry of Magic?"

Apu said in disbelief.

The surrounding crowd was also surprised.

Old Tom even jumped out from behind the bar, clasped Adam's shoulders and said:

"What the **** are you doing? Didn't you just tell everyone not to go to the Ministry of Magic to protest and march? Why are you going now?"

Tom's voice was full of anger.

He felt like he was going crazy.

What happened in his tavern today was like a roller coaster, rushing to the top and then crashing down...

But hearing that Adam gave Old Tom a strange look and said:

"When did I persuade everyone not to go to the Ministry of Magic to protest? I'm just telling everyone that the Ministry of Magic and the Daily Prophet have not done anything to hide this."

"Then why are you going to the Ministry of Magic to protest, since the Ministry of Magic has not lied or concealed anything?"

"I have already answered this, I want to avenge my son."

Adam said it firmly, "Now the Ministry of Magic has only announced the casualties at Hogwarts, and beyond that, they have not revealed anything. Including, there are questions about how to take revenge.

And that's exactly why I'm going to the Ministry of Magic.

I want to show the three members of the Ministry of Magic the attitude of my victim's family.

I want them to understand that the so-called casualties in this "Daily Prophet" are not just cold data, but living people, dead!

If I don't let them hear my voice, it's very likely that in the end things will turn into pure condemnation, or another long negotiation, and finally have the French spit out a compensation payment.

But this is not what I want, blood feud, it should be repaid with blood! "

"That's right! That's how it should be!" Apu's attitude suddenly changed and he shouted excitedly, "I absolutely support you, Mr. Editor-in-Chief!"

Old Tom gave Apu a white look and continued to persuade Adam:

"Calm down, it's only been a day since the incident happened. The committee members must be meeting to discuss this matter. Why don't you wait for them to announce the decision first, and if you are not satisfied with the decision they announced, then protest. It's not too late!"

"Thank you, Tom, I know you're doing it for my own good, and I'm also familiar with our three committee members, and I know that if I go to the Ministry of Magic now, it will not end well." Adam said firmly, "but I'm going anyway, Because if I don't go now, then in the future, I may not have the courage to go again!"

When the words fell, Adam broke free of Tom's hand and continued to walk towards the Floo Fireplace.

Tom instinctively stretched out his hand to grab it again, but was blocked by a burly bearded man beside him. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

It was only at this time that Tom realized that many people had gathered around Adam.

Even the bearded man who had previously clashed with Adam was in it.

Their eyes seemed to be burning with fire, and they followed Adam firmly forward.

Seeing this scene, Tom was very entangled in his heart.

On the one hand, he was glad that Adam did not reveal his informative behavior, but on the other hand, he felt sorry for these people in front of him.

In his opinion, this group of people will probably not be able to meet at the Leaky Cauldron for a long time in the future.

"You are crazy!"

Tom scolded weakly.

Adam, the leader in front of him, turned his head to Tom and nodded with a smile, then grabbed a handful of Floo powder from the cloth bag by the fireplace and was about to sprinkle it into the fireplace.

But at this moment, a dark green magic flame suddenly exploded in the fireplace.

The huge flames and smoke forced everyone to retreat, and Tom was relieved to see this.

Because through the smoke, he saw the guy he sent out for the first time.

When I came back at this time, I should have informed the Ministry of Magic and asked the Ministry of Magic to send Aurors here, right?

But, will this speed be a little too fast?

Tom just felt a little strange.

The guy who saw him had cleared the smoke.

There was no Auror or Striker behind him.

But in his hand, he held a brand new "Daily Prophet" aloft.

"Latest news... just from the Ministry of Magic..."

The dude was panting and waving the newspaper constantly.

On the exposed page of the newspaper, there was clearly written a large headline - "Declaration of War".
