Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 518 Kingsley who refuses to take the blame
What happened in the slums of North London is not just an isolated case. In fact, under Mike's instigation, the same thing is happening in Muggle wizard settlements all over the country.

And the direct result of this is that at noon, the hall of the Ministry of Magic was already full of Muggle wizards who came to visit.

This is actually a very exaggerated matter, because it has only been a few hours since the newspaper was distributed at this time, and normally the development of the situation would not be so rapid at all.

But when Benjamin arrived at the Ministry of Magic, he didn't show the slightest surprise, because he knew very well that most of the rioters here were actually their own people.

That's right, Mike actually didn't have any hope for those Muggle wizards from the very beginning.

In his opinion, most of these people are meek idiots, but the situation of Muggle wizards would not be like this if they still have a little blood.

In the face of such people, you can't touch them simply by relying on words, because their hearts have long been numb.

So Mike simply did not do anything, and dispatched the elite wizard group under his command to rush into the Ministry of Magic in disguise!

At this moment, they are holding a special wooden sign that is playing the video of the tragic experience of the Loya family in a loop, and they are constantly shouting uniform ** lines, and all the other voices in the hall are crushed. .

Most importantly, they also processed the video published in the newspaper, making the original black and white picture more colorful.

For example, in the scene where the brown-haired wizard used the death curse to kill Loya, Benjamin added color to the death curse.

The effect of this is outstanding. A bright and ominous green flashed suddenly in the black and white boring picture, which made all the wizards who saw this picture tremble.

In the face of such a large-scale illegal activity by Muggle wizards, the Ministry of Magic naturally did not sit idly by.

Kingsley, who was the acting minister of the Ministry of Magic at the time, reacted quickly and dispatched Auror troops and striker troops to the hall to maintain order.

In the eyes of the higher-ups of the Ministry of Magic, this is just a group of rabble. According to past experience in dealing with Muggle wizards, as long as Aurors and strikers come forward, this group of traitors will disappear in smoke.

It's normal for them to come to such a conclusion, after all, it's the first time they've seen such a thing, but unfortunately, this time it was premeditated!

"Stand back! Back off everyone! What do you think this is!"

The strikers kept pushing the raging crowd back while roaring. Their thinking was very similar to that of the higher-ups of the Ministry of Magic. They all thought that these were just a bunch of mobs, so they didn't even take out their wands.

The Aurors stood behind the strikers, and they were looking at the crowd vigilantly with their wands in their hands.

They didn't despise this group of Muggle wizards as much as the strikers. It's not that they saw that these raiders were all elite wizards in disguise, but that they were the most elite force of the Ministry of Magic. Will not let down their vigilance!

And just as the strikers were pushing the crowd, the old wizard with white beard and hair who came with Benjamin actually came from the back of the crowd to the front of the line.

Looking at the vicious fighters, he lay down on the ground very simply, grabbed the leg of one of the fighters, and cried:

"The Ministry of Magic killed people! Come and see! The Ministry of Magic killed people! You kill me! Anyway, I don't want to live anymore!"

The old wizard's hand directly confused all the batters. The batter whose leg was hugged reached out and wanted to grab the old wizard's hand, but was stopped by his companion.

When he raised his head, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Because I don't know when, several magic cameras have already been aimed at him, and the flashing red lights on the cameras mean that they have been working for a long time.

The dark-faced striker instinctively looked at his captain, but saw that his captain's expression was also bewildered.

This is great, the batterer whose legs are being hugged doesn't move, doesn't move, and the scene in the hall of the Ministry of Magic turns out to be a very weird stalemate.

The Ministry of Magic of the country itself is actually a super-large body that integrates various ZF departments. The wizards in the country usually have accidents, immigration inspections, criminal trials, Floo network reports, or patent applications, etc. All kinds of matters must be handled in the Ministry of Magic, which leads to a huge flow of people in the Ministry of Magic, otherwise they would not have installed so many fireplaces in the hall.

And if such a sensational event happened in such a place with such a large number of adults, it is natural for such a thing to gather a crowd to watch.

Not long after Benjamin and other talents made noise in the hall, the already crowded hall of the Ministry of Magic became even more crowded. Countless passers-by looked at the bustle with curiosity, and even foreign wizards were memorizing something excitedly.

The major news of the riots in the Ministry of Magic naturally attracted the attention of many mainstream newspapers such as the Daily Prophet, and they quickly sent reporters to the Ministry of Magic to learn about the situation.

Looking at the reporters who were struggling to move forward among the crowded crowd with work badges hanging on their chests and camera equipment in their hands, the corners of Benjamin's mouth raised unconsciously.

You must know that Mike did not hesitate to send such a person to pretend to be a traitor, not just to make things uncomfortable for the Ministry of Magic, but to make matters worse!

And the best way to do things is naturally those traditional newspapers such as the Prophet Daily!

"Look, everyone! It's a reporter from the Daily Prophet!"

Benjamin shouted, and as he raised his arms, the wizards from the Los Santos Group also moved into action. They squeezed through the crowd, and soon surrounded all the reporters.

This shocked the reporters. Many people had already pulled out their wands to protect themselves. After all, they saw Benjamin and the others as a group of cynical mobs, and they were extremely dangerous.

But to their surprise, the attack they had expected did not come.

The thugs not only did not hurt them, but also pushed away other onlookers, making an open space for them.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man in shabby clothes walked over holding a sign, loudly explaining why they came here and what the purpose of the trip was.

This made the reporters very happy, and hurriedly took out a pen and paper and started to record.

With the deepening of the visit, the expressions on the faces of the reporters became more and more excited. Aurors using the Unforgivable Curse on ordinary people, Aurors who raped girls, and people who appeared in the Ministry of Magic were all enough to cause a sensation in the country. Huge news for the entire European wizarding world!

Not far away, the middle-aged man pretended by Benjamin looked at the excited faces of the reporters, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. This is what he wanted.

At this time, the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic finally reacted.

Kingsley, wearing a round cap, trotted all the way into the hall with a group of officials from the Emergency Department, pushed away the batter captain who wanted to go forward to explain the situation, and faced Benjamin and the others.

And when he saw a group of reporters surrounded by Benjamin and others in the middle of the crowd who were scribbling, and the foreign wizards on the periphery of the crowd who were watching, his expression suddenly became ugly.

"Go! Control all the foreign wizards here first." Kingsley whispered to an Auror beside him, "Also, go to the Department of Internal Relations and let them communicate with the Daily Prophet and other newspapers. , today this matter must not be published on a large scale!"

"Yes, sir!"

The Aurors who got the order acted quickly, and began to 'friendly' invite those foreign friends to the office as guests, while Kingsley himself asked knowingly while walking with a serious face:

"I am Kingsley Shacklebolt, Acting Minister of Magic. What are you talking about here?"

Following Kingsley's shout, the crowded people finally recognized the interim minister who had just taken office not long ago, and their faces all showed a look of optimism.

When Benjamin and the others saw this, they looked at each other, and then, as they had rehearsed in advance (in fact, they had rehearsed), they swarmed up holding the notice board high, and shouted at Kingsley:
"Give me my life! Hand over the murderer! Give me back my life! Hand over the murderer!"

The Aurors reacted quickly and stood in front of Kingsley to form a human wall.

But Benjamin himself didn't intend to attack Kingsley at all, they just clinging to those Aurors, shouting loudly over and over again.

This situation made the reporters very excited. At this moment, they were taking pictures of Kingsley with special high-end magic photography equipment.

But Kingsley turned a blind eye to this. He knew very well that these people were nothing more than small gangsters. As long as he put pressure on their upper echelons, the things they took would not be released at all.

But the crowd of indignant people in front of him still made the muscles on his black face contort for a while, and it took a while before he managed to squeeze out a gentle smile, and looked at Benjamin and the others through the wall of Aurors. shouted:

"I know you are very angry now, but please calm down and withdraw from the Ministry of Magic. I can assure you as the interim minister of the Ministry of Magic that we will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and will not let any bad guy go unpunished. Nor will any good person be wronged!"

Kingsley's sincere words made **'s voice slow down slightly, and everyone was hesitantly looking around, as if hesitating whether to follow what he said.

A gleam of joy flashed across Kingsley's face when he saw this, but when he was about to pursue the victory, there was a roar from the crowd:

"We're just waiting here, not going anywhere! We'll leave when you catch the murderer!"

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd who were at a loss immediately reacted, echoing one after another, and Kingsley felt dizzy after hearing it.

For a moment, he even wanted to directly order the Aurors to forcibly expel all these people, but Kingsley calmed down after seeing the onlookers in the hall of the Ministry of Magic that were several times larger than the crowd of **.

He believed that as long as he dared to issue such an order, he would be scolded like a dog by wizards all over the country tomorrow!

I am just a temporary minister, why should I take such a big blame?

Thinking of this, Kingsley's originally tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed a little. He nodded and shouted at the crowd:
"Okay! I agree to your request, and I will investigate this matter thoroughly now. But you must also promise me that you must not overreact, and try to keep order and quiet, okay?"

"can!"

The crowd shouted in unison, and then everyone sat cross-legged on the ground in unison, and the few people who hadn't figured out what happened were also pulled down by their companions who had never met before, and went to bed with everyone .

For a moment, the deafening noises in the hall of the Ministry of Magic disappeared, but the billboards were still held high, and the flashing images on them were still telling everyone passing by about the tragic experience of the Loya family.

Seeing this, the corners of Kingsley's mouth twitched a bit, but in the end he nodded and walked quickly towards the magic elevator.

Looking at the backs of Kingsley and his group leaving slowly, Benjamin, who was hiding in the crowd, smiled.

At this moment, his deep admiration for Mike has reached a new level, because the reaction of the Ministry of Magic's top management represented by Kingsley is exactly what Mike expected!
Couldn't help clenching his fists, he turned his head to look at the reporters who were leaving quickly behind, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear:

"It's up to you next."

On the other side, as soon as he entered the elevator, Kingsley's face full of smirks instantly twisted. He suddenly approached the temporary commander of the Auror office who had been following him, staring at a pair of copper-like The bell-like eyes roared with a trembling voice:
"Get those three guys back to me quickly! I'm going to see them right away!"

The commander of the Auror office looked at Kingsley who was furious in front of him blankly. As a high-level official of the Scrimgeour faction, he didn't like Kingsley at all.

Being treated so disrespectfully, he instinctively wanted to find some excuses to perfunctory the past, so as to embarrass Kingsley.

But looking at the other party's bloodshot scarlet eyes, the commander couldn't help swallowing, stood up straight and said:
"Yes, sir!"

Kingsley nodded in satisfaction and stopped talking. The officials who were traveling with him did not dare to breathe. The huge elevator suddenly fell into a strange silence.

"The Office of the Minister of Magic and the Back Office are here."

The cold elevator sounded, and Kingsley hurried out before the elevator doors were fully opened, followed by a group of officials with sad faces.
