Glory To Slytherin

Chapter 185 A Perfect Theft?

The next day, the students saw that security measures were strengthened everywhere.

Professor Flitwick is teaching the guard at the gate of the castle to identify the big picture of Sirius Black. Filch was suddenly very busy, running around in the corridor to close the gap, from the smallest crack in the wall to the mouse hole.

Sir Cadogan was dismissed, and his portrait was sent back to the coldly clear landing on the eighth floor. The fat lady is back again. She has been repaired by experts, but she is still extremely nervous, and asks for special protection before she is willing to return to her post.

For this reason, a bunch of rough troll security guards were hired to protect her. They walked patrolling the corridors in groups of three or five fiercely, with loud noises, comparing the size of the sticks in their hands.

The students inevitably felt a little nervous when they saw this rumbling scene.

Ulysses came under the beating willow the next night, and noticed that the beating willow was waving its branches.

Ulysses took out his wand, turned a stone into a mouse, passed through the branches of the beating willow, and pressed the inconspicuous knot.

The violent beating Liu immediately calmed down, and Ulysses smoothly entered the secret road guarded by the beating Liu. It leads directly to the screaming hut in Hogsmeade Village.

The village of Hogsmeade at night is no different from Ulysses’s two months ago, and even the patrol has been strengthened.

Groups of dementors wandered in the village, and the sign on the street against Sirius was even more eye-catching.

Ulysses came to the Pig’s Head Bar with ease.

Aberforth Dumbledore, who was lying behind the bar, closed his eyes and took a nap, raised his eyelids after hearing the sound, with a hint of surprise in his voice:

“you again?”

“Contact Mondungus again for me.”

Ulysses raised his hands and two Jin Jialong landed on the bar, and said softly.

“Mundungus was terribly scared last time…”

Aberforth Dumbledore smiled faintly, meaningfully.

Ulysses froze, looked at him carefully, and took out three more Jin Jialongs.

“The young man is not bad.”

Aberforth Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction, and the right hand hidden behind the bar moved his wand. Soon, the shrunken Mondungus probed into the pig’s head bar.

Ulysses said in his heart that the Dumbledore brothers were not even a few years old, how the difference was so big, but after seeing Mondungus, he pressed the soul of Tucao in his heart and beckoned to Mondungus.

“you again?”

Mondungus’ reaction was exactly the same as Aberforth. After seeing Ulysses clearly, he subconsciously looked around, and whispered, “What do you want to know this time? Say it beforehand. I don’t know what is too dangerous. .”

“Do not worry.”

Ulysses said with a bit of a wry smile, this Mondungus was really courageous, and did not know how to make the intelligence system, “This time I will only ask one thing… Recently the Ministry of Magic mysterious Is there any inside story about the theft of the Department of Affairs?”

“This matter.”

After listening to Ulysses, Mondungus obviously relaxed, took a sip of the wine on the table, touched the froth on the corner of his mouth, and said relaxedly, “You can just ask the right person, I There is a lot of top-secret news from the Ministry of Magic…”

Ulysses nodded, without speaking, Mondungus continued:

“The time when the mysterious affairs department was stolen was at the end of August, and it has been four months since now. It’s just that some time ago, this news was not known by who had passed it out, and it was a buzzword for a while…”

“The stolen is the scepter left by Merlin. No one knows its specific use, but after all, it is Merlin’s belongings and has been stored in the mysterious affairs department. The most mysterious department of the Ministry of Magic is guarded by a team of well-trained Aurors. , Coupled with the supervision of a series of magical items, it stands to reason that no one can sneak into the mysterious affairs department without knowing it…”

Mondungus said eloquently, as he treasured the affairs of the Ministry of Magic, “Every seven days, the Aurors enter the mysterious affairs department to count their belongings. During a routine inspection at the end of August, they discovered that Merlin’s scepter had been stolen. Now… The Ministry of Magic cast a suspicious look on the Aurors for the first time. Each Auror was given Veritaserum, but the results of the inquiry showed that it had nothing to do with them.”

“Wait a moment.”

Ulysses, who listened quietly, frowned suddenly and said suspiciously, “Although the means to fight Veritaserum are rare, they are available.”

“really.”

Mondungus nodded, “So they invited Severus Snape of Hogwarts to prepare Veritaserum. He is a famous potion master with rich experience, and the Ministry of Magic treats him very much. Trust, so the Aurors’ rhetoric should be credible.”

“So this is… the secret room theft case?”

Ulysses had a weird face.

“That’s correct.”

Mondungus said affirmatively, “The Aurors searched it carefully, and almost all of them searched the mysterious affairs department several times, but they couldn’t find any trace of the intruder.”

Ulysses heard it with suspicion, and said that Dumbledore really valued himself, and gave him such a weird task.

“Do you know who is spreading this news?”

He raised his eyelids and asked keenly.

“This is too difficult.”

Mondungus shrugged, “The cost of disseminating information is too low, and the concealment is too strong. Finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack.”

“So there are no clues?”

Ulysses repeated unwillingly.

“As far as I know, no… Maybe the Ministry of Magic discovered something but kept it secret.”

After Mondungus finished speaking, he stretched out his stubby fingers and tapped on the table, squinting his eyes and said, “This time the information fee is only five gallons. After all, there is no useful information provided.”

Ulysses glanced at him, then placed Garon on the table casually, and he quickly grabbed him into his arms. He chuckled, emptied the wine in his glass, and ran out of the pig’s head bar quickly.

Ulysses was a little irritable. He was expecting to get some clues before going to the Ministry of Magic, but he didn’t expect even the intelligence dealer Mondungus to know that this time the incident was really a bit tricky.

He left the pig’s head bar, bypassed the tireless dementors, returned to the secret passage in the screaming hut, and walked back to the castle.

But when he walked halfway with his head down, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in his line of sight.

Ulysses was suddenly thrown to the ground by the black shadow, his eyes condensed, and he saw clearly that it was not someone else who was stepping on him, it was Sirius Black in the form of F*ck Gus-the thin but physique Quite big black dog.
