Chapter 173 The First Twelve Aurors

Elizabeth was obviously stunned for a moment, and she was surprised why Avis would ask such a question.

After a while, she organized the words in her mind before speaking slowly:”Judging from Tesla Graves’ surname, he should be one of the famous ‘original twelve Aurors’, Gangdu Fuji. Descendants of Graves.”

The original twelve Aurors refer to the first twelve Aurors recruited when the Magical Congress of the United States of America was established.

They made a great contribution in the elimination of the Purifiers. Therefore, the families of these twelve Aurors became the twelve most prestigious families in the United States at that time.

Compared to the other eleven families, the Graves family has considerable influence in the American magic and political circles. Since the seventeenth century, there have been people from the Graves family serving as Heads of Magical Security or Directors of the Auror Office.

This is a terrible monopoly. These two positions equivalent to Congress have always been hereditary in the Graves family. Therefore, this family has great influence in the American wizarding world.

However, from 1926, after the Second Salem Case, the influence of the Graves family began to decline.

In the Second Salem Case, Percival Graves, then Head of Magical Security and Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, was killed by Gellert Grindelwald.

After that, Grindelwald used human transfiguration to disguise himself as Percival and infiltrated Congress, obstructing the progress of the investigation team several times.

At that time, there was an unknown magical force wreaking havoc in New York, causing destruction and chaos.

Therefore, in order to prevent the magical world from being exposed, Congress urgently established an investigation team to resolve the matter. Percival, Grindelwald’s disguise, was a backbone of the investigation team.

However, due to his interference, the investigation team not only failed to find out the original cause, but also allowed the unknown magical power – later confirmed to be Obscurus – to destroy most of New York.

Had it not been for the help of Newt Scamander, who had successfully altered the memories of all Muggles in New York, Congress would have been the main culprit for the exposure of magic.

Afterwards, Grindelwald, disguised as Percival, was arrested and imprisoned, but Congress never found the real Percival.

In order to fill the vacancies in two important positions, Chairman Serafina Picquery quickly arranged for others to serve as Director of Magical Security and Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

Since then, the direct descendants of the Graves family in the Magical Security Office and the Auror Office have been gradually replaced by personnel from the Picquery family and other rival families.

The Graves family essentially lost control of both divisions.

Tesla Graves, this man was re-appointed as the Director of the Auror Office not only because of the family behind him, but also because of his outstanding achievements.

“so……”Elizabeth said in shock:”Do you suspect he is a mole?”

Ives nodded. In fact, he also suspected Mr. Cone.

But when he thought about it carefully, Mr. Cone and Professor Flitwick had been closely guarding him and Elizabeth. It seemed that he had no chance to convey the news to the outside world.

Only Tesla Graves had the time to commit the crime.

He stood up and greeted:”Let’s go, Elizabeth. Let’s go to the secret room again.”

Without waiting for Elizabeth to answer, he took the lead and walked towards the door.

“Oh wait a minute……”Elizabeth hurriedly grabbed the coat on the hanger and put it on haphazardly, and quickened her pace to keep up with Ives.

She complained:”Wait for me, can you apparate? You can walk so fast?””

“Of course,” Ives smiled mysteriously, and then disappeared in the flames.

Elizabeth stood there dumbfounded, her tongue almost straightened out,”It turns out that you can really apparate.……”

……

At the same time, in the Magical Security Office, the Director of Magical Security Samuel·G·Kohaug is listening to Graves’ report.

Although this scene looks a bit like a superior listening to a report from a subordinate, in fact, this department is on the same level as the Auror office. In other words, Kohaug and Graves are equal.

But unlike the Auror Office, whose functions are more similar to the Muggle police, the Magical Security Office, as an intelligence, espionage and counterintelligence agency, is more like the FBI.

In other words, it can intervene in the affairs of other departments.

At this time, Congress has learned that the search for the missing little wizard has been suspended due to the mole. Therefore, the Magical Security Office has officially joined the case, with the intention of thoroughly investigating the mole in the Auror Office.

“……Therefore, I believe that there must be an internal agent of the Purifiers among the Aurors, and Filius Flivi, Nubakt Cone and the two young wizards who joined in the middle are also suspected.”

Graves finally finished telling the whole story. He concluded with one last sentence and sat back in the chair.

Kohaug waved his wand, and a curtain of light revealed the promotional poster of Second Salem. He pointed at The upper symbol of a broken wand with two hands says:”All evidence now points to the Purifier, but……”

“Although Second Salem was associated with the Purge, its founder, Mary Lou Barbern, was nothing more than a No-Maj. After putting her in prison, we used the forgetting spell to erase the memories of her adopted children and daughters, and even sent people to monitor them.”

“Over the past many years, this organization has suddenly resurrected without warning. It is unreasonable no matter how you think about it.” Kohaug raised his own doubts.”I prefer to believe that someone is using the name of Second Salem to cause trouble.”

“Regardless of whether the person behind the scenes is a purger or not, the top priority should be to find out the insider in the team.”Graves said suddenly, with dissatisfaction in his tone. Catching thieves is obviously their business, and catching moles is the job of the Magic Security Office.

Kohaug smiled,”Yes, uncovering moles is the job. It’s urgent. Well, Director Graves, let’s start with you.”

Graves shrugged indifferently,”Okay, I’m very suspicious, right? This would be a great way to get rid of suspicion.”

After screening out the others, leaving only a secretary responsible for recording, the interrogation finally officially began.

……

Returning to the dilapidated house in the northwest, Avis and Elizabeth walked in cautiously one behind the other.

At that time, due to the guidance of blood tracing magic, all their attention was placed on that secret room, and they did not search other rooms so carefully.

Ives wanted to see if he could find any other clues.

The exterior walls of this dilapidated house are dilapidated, and the original bright paint has long faded, revealing the gray masonry underneath. Large swaths of windows were broken and only roughly covered with some worn-out wooden boards.

The tiles on the roof were scattered, and in some places the sky could even be seen.

There is a shaky iron sign hanging at the door of the house. The writing on it has bee

n blurred, and it can only be barely recognized that it is a forgotten address.

With an eerie atmosphere surrounding it, Ives truly believed that this was a perfect location for filming a horror film.

The floor was covered with dusty footprints, all left by Aurors.

The tips of Ives and Elizabeth’s staffs were fluorescent, starting from the first room on the left and moving past one room after another.

Some rooms are empty, while others are filled with a variety of clutter, including discarded furniture, broken toys, and even some seemingly useless junk.

Ives did not relax, carefully feeling the magic residue in every room, for fear of missing clues.

Finally, he found a trace of magic fluctuation in the room opposite the room where he found the secret room.

This is a dilapidated room, the windows have been broken by the wind, and the walls are also dilapidated. They may have been white originally, but now they are blackened by smoke.

There were all kinds of garbage scattered on the ground, as well as traces of some unknown liquids. The magic wave that Avis felt came from behind the garbage pile against the wall.

After cleaning up, he threw the garbage out of the window, revealing what was behind the wall.

There is also a painting of”Salem Witch Trials” hanging on that wall.》！

“You…how did you do it?”Elizabeth looked at the scene in front of her and opened her mouth in surprise. She obviously didn’t find anything. Is the gap between people so big?

Ives smiled slightly and did not explain. The method of this search was that he was It was learned under the guidance of Dumbledore. During the trip to the cave, Dumbledore relied on it to find the entrance to the cave where Voldemort hid the Horcrux.

However, the strength of the person who arranged this place is far inferior to Voldemort, otherwise Ivey Si estimated that he couldn’t find anything.

Ives blindly guessed that there would be a secret room behind the painting, but the protective magic on the painting could not be broken with his knowledge alone. In the final analysis, he had not been exposed to magic long enough. , give him a few more years to grow up, Voldemort will not be his opponent!

He originally wanted to find Mr. Cone and Professor Flitwick, but neither he nor Elizabeth knew where they had gone. There was no way, Chi Things changed. Ives was worried that the mastermind behind the scenes would come here to transfer things, so he had to take out a two-way mirror from his arms.

This two-way mirror was a Christmas gift given to him by Dumbledore. The man holding a pair of two-way mirrors Wizards can make remote calls through it. On the other hand, Ivis was of course handed over to…

Hermione.

After the phoenix feathers lost their magic power, the only props he could think of that could contact off-site assistance were pairs of A double-sided mirror.

Speaking of which, this is the first time he has used a double-sided mirror.

Ives slowly injected magic power into the double-sided mirror. The surface of the mirror lit up with a faint light, and then darkened again. If it were not for the double-sided mirror, The mirror was still absorbing his magic power, and he suspected that the broken mirror was broken.

He tried to say out loud:”Hermione, Hermione… are you there?”

A rustling sound sounded, and before long, the picture in the mirror lit up, revealing a little witch with fluffy brown hair. She wore a sky blue sweater on her upper body, and a plaid skirt on her lower body. She was wearing woolen leggings, which made her look very cute.

Judging from the background, she was staying in the common room.

The little witch shouted with surprise:”Avis, how is America? Is it fun?””

Immediately afterwards, a series of questions popped out of her mouth, mostly asking what the American wizarding world is like.

“”Stop, stop, stop,” Ives shouted hurriedly.

Hermione shut up immediately. She realized that Ives had something urgent to ask her.

“Hermione, listen, you go to the principal’s office right away to find Professor Dumbledore,” Ivis instructed with a serious expression.”You first go to Professor McGonagall to ask for the password to the principal’s office, and then give the double-way mirror to the principal.”

“Got it.” Hermione started immediately and ran out in a hurry.

She obviously held the double-sided mirror in front of her chest when she moved. At this moment, Elvis could see the corridor of Hogwarts Castle through the mirror. This was a place he could pass smoothly with his eyes closed.

Elizabeth on the side moved her head curiously. She had not been to other magic schools.

Hermione’s breathing could be heard from time to time in the double-sided mirror. She quickly She ran to the door of Professor McGonagall’s office.

Boom!

There was a knock on the door, but no one opened the door.

After waiting for two or three minutes, Hermione was very sure that Professor McGonagall was not in the office. After all, according to the temperament of the older cat lady, she even No matter how busy she was, she would never leave students alone at the door.

She turned the mirror over and said anxiously:”Avis, Professor McGonagall is not in the office, what should I do?”

“Go directly to the eighth floor of the castle. The password in the principal’s office is all about his favorite sweets. I can roughly guess what it is.”Avis blurted out. He had already thought of a countermeasure for Professor McGonagall

‘s absence. When he answered, Hermione saw Elizabeth next to him. She stared at the blonde beauty in the mirror. Subconsciously, she puffed up her chest.

She originally wanted to ask who the person next to Ives was, but she knew that the situation was urgent, so she just took a deep look at Ives, and then immediately ran towards the eighth floor of the castle..On the eighth floor of the castle, a huge stone beast carved from marble was lazily lying on a stone pier and taking a nap.

Hermione raised the double-sided mirror and pointed the side with the picture at the stone beast.

“Zizi Honey Candy, Cockroach Pile, Lemon Snow Baby……”The names of a long list of sweets came out of Ives’s mouth like a mouthful.

Until he read Hongdou Bing, the stone beast finally opened its eyes and gave way.

Hermione clenched her fists and cheered excitedly, then hurriedly broke into the principal’s office.

Dumbledore was arranging files when he saw Hermione pushing open the door and barging in. He was obviously stunned for a moment.

But when he saw clearly the double-sided mirror held in the girl’s arms, he understood what had happened.

“”School…Headmaster,” Hermione panted as she stopped in front of Dumbledore and handed him the double-sided mirror. The old headmaster waved a chair for Hermione to sit down, and thoughtfully brought her a cup of tea. Then I looked at Ives in the mirror

“Ives, has the missing little wizard been found?”He asked.

Ives immediately told him what was going to happen in a few words, and then he pointed the double-sided mirror at the oil painting on the wall.

Dumbledore’s blue eyes were shimmering, and he He carefully looked at the magic on the painting through the double-sided mirror, and then said after a while:

“Somewhat tricky”
