Harry Potter and the Burnt Badger

Moon looked at the werewolves, then at the others, and finally smiled slowly.

"Sir, you are right. These werewolves are the main contributors tonight. If it weren't for them, we would never have been able to protect Diagon Alley so well."

As he spoke, he walked towards the werewolves and pointed at the bloody wounds on their bodies, "These wounds are the best proof!"

Chapter 97 Werewolf Battle-[-]

Inside Diagon Alley.

The Aurors were in an awkward position - technically speaking, they were facing a large group of fugitives.

Golov Shafik and Nora Shafik should stay at Shafik Manor; Moon Fox is a fugitive directly named by the ministry; not to mention there are more than twenty Two werewolves stood in front of them, licking each other's wounds.

But the problem is that it was the help of the large group of fugitives in front of them that prevented Diagon Alley from being greatly affected.There is no doubt that whether it is the closure of most businesses or the street with almost no people here, it is all the work of the Shafiq family.If they really stand up at this time to cause trouble and have to arrest all these people in the name of fugitives...

It is estimated that the entire Auror office will be flooded with complaint letters tomorrow.

What's more, then again, even just because of the friendship they had just fought side by side, the Aurors really couldn't let go of that hand or face.

Fortunately, this stalemate did not last long, although the Aurors were not sure whether this was good news or not.

After the battle, Ken O'Gorman immediately found Elijah Lee and asked Elijah to deliver the message to Scrimgeour - because it was impossible to confirm whether the dark wizards of the Crow Party would also attack the Muggles in London. , so Scrimgeour left a few Aurors to follow him and pay attention to the situation in London.

And now, Scrimgeour has arrived with those Aurors.

Along with the light explosions of disembodiment, six figures appeared among the crowd. Ken's eyelids jumped, and the worry in his heart became more intense.

Among the Aurors left by Scrimgeour at that time was Ekel Weaving.Now that Ekel is coming with Scrimgeour, Ken is really worried that Ekel will commit a crime and insists on arresting Moon and others.

Fortunately, before Ecker could speak, Scrimgeour had already glanced around, then nodded at Golov, took another deep look at the target, and then shouted loudly: "Still standing here stupidly." What are you doing? Don’t you have anything to do?! After cleaning up the situation, hurry back to the Ministry of Magic! O'Gorman, Rennie, Courtney, each of you three will bring five people, and let me clean up Diagon Alley. Search carefully and then go patrol London!"

From the beginning to the end, Scrimgeour did not even mention half a word about the people from the Order of the Phoenix or the Shafik family, and even the werewolves were ignored by him.

As the Aurors left one after another, Golov patted Moon's shoulder lightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Scrimgeour is a good person even though he has an impatient and tough temper. When I sent someone to inform him of the attack in Diagon Alley, I also brought a letter from me and told him a lot of things."

Moon nodded, but did not tell his uncle that he was not worried - to be honest, he did not think that his uncle would forget such an important matter.

After the Aurors left, the shop owners in Diagon Alley thanked everyone again. They were still somewhat afraid of werewolves and did not dare to get too close from beginning to end, but there was no falsehood in their intentions when they thanked them. .

After all, what Moon said before was correct. After a big battle today, only three subordinates of the Shafiq family died in the battle. Di Ge of the Order of the Phoenix was knocked out by a werewolf and broke one of his legs. The rest of the people basically only had scratches. , bruises or injuries caused by the backlash of the spell, and this is entirely due to Mr. Galvin and the others.If they hadn't been brave enough to fight hand-to-hand with those wild-minded werewolves at the front, no matter how stupid the werewolves were, many of the wizards would have been injured by the werewolves.

After the shop owners also left, apart from the werewolves, only the Shafiq family and a few wizards from the Order of the Phoenix were left on the street.

"Everyone, please rest in the Golden Satin Leather Shop tonight." Golov, who gradually regained his composure, said to the werewolves: "It's not easy for you to move around like this. Anyway, there is barely enough space in the leather shop. ."

Mr. Galvin limped forward and nodded. Remus looked at Sirius and the others, nodded, and joined the werewolves.

Mr. and Mrs. Rich were temporarily ordered to lead the werewolves straight to the Golden Satin Leather Shop.Effias Dorje of the Order of the Phoenix angrily cursed the goblins in Gringotts who had closed the door tightly and refused to even help in the slightest, and then was stopped by Moody's look.

After Ephias stopped talking, Moody came to Golov and Moon with a bang, and stretched out his hand towards Golov, "I didn't expect there would be a chance to fight side by side."

Golov smiled and shook hands with Moody, then indicated to Moody that his forehead was bleeding, and said at the same time: "Maybe there will be more opportunities in the future."

Moody grinned and glanced at Moon again. It was obvious that he had just heard about Moon's achievements. "Your nephew is not bad. He will be a good Auror in the future. Okay, the battle is over. Let's It’s time to withdraw.”

"Mr. Moody, if there is nothing urgent, I think we can go to the Ministry of Magic together." Before Golov could reply, Moon took the lead and said, "There is still a good show there. Come over now, maybe we can Catch an ending.”

Hearing Moon's words, Moody was slightly startled, a little confused, but Golov breathed a sigh of relief - Moon had indeed made arrangements for what he had thought of earlier.

…………

5 minutes ago.

The werewolf has been rushing into Diagon Alley for a while, and the four dark wizards sent out have also lit a blazing fire in Diagon Alley. The black smoke rising straight into the sky can be seen even in Knockturn Alley.Rodriguez finished smoking a pipe before asking Debra to order the rest of the men to leave temporarily, leaving only ten Crowpaws behind.

"Sir, everything has been done as you ordered." Debra lowered her head as always and said to Rodriguez.

"Okay, then we should go." Rodriguez put away his long pipe and said with a smile: "Debra, have you seen the fountain before?"

Debra was a little confused and couldn't figure out Rodriguez's thoughts for a while. Fortunately, she was used to Rodriguez's inexplicable jump in thinking, so she quickly composed herself and answered, "I've seen many, sir."

"Oh? Have you ever seen a pure gold fountain?"

Debra was paused when she heard the words. It took two seconds to react again and nodded again.

"What a shame..." Rodriguez walked up to Debra and gently lifted a strand of hair beside Debra's ear. "Good things are always the most amazing the first time you see them."

"..." Debra didn't dare to say anything, she just lowered her head slightly and stood there motionless.

"Heh." Rodriguez chuckled, retracted his hand, and put on the feather-patterned robe that was hanging on the side. "Let's go, everyone, I guess the group of Aurors should have already started rushing to Diagon Alley, let's Let’s go to the Ministry of Magic to see the fountain.”

No one answered, only a sound of disembodiment sounded.

In the main hall on the eighth underground floor of the Ministry of Magic.

This place exudes a sense of elegance and luxury as always, with clean and shiny dark wood floors, a peacock blue ceiling inlaid with glittering golden symbols, and gilded fireplaces arranged on the walls on both sides, occasionally with many Metal statue.Looking forward, you can see the classic Magic Brothers Fountain at a glance: a round pool, a giant solid gold statue, a graceful wizard firmly in the center, pointing his wand into the sky; a beautiful witch and a horse. A man, a goblin, and a house elf surrounded him, and the faces of the latter three were still looking at the two wizards with reverence, as if these two wizards were the great benefactors who saved them.

Rodriguez appeared in front of the statue, followed by Debra and the ten black wizards of the Crow Party.

Apart from them, the entire main hall was empty, not even a soul in sight.

"Ah, everyone, this is the Ministry of Magic. Do you think Fudge is staying in his office now, or has he returned to his warm home to warm himself by the fire?" Rodriguez's tone was full of excitement. Ridiculing, "To be honest, I have long disliked this statue. Debra, blow it up."

"Uh, sir..." As soon as Debra started speaking, she realized something was wrong. Sure enough, before she could take action quickly, Rodriguez's voice turned cold in an instant.

"I said blow it up."

Debra wordlessly pulled out her wand and pointed it at the glittering Magic Brothers Fountain.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do this." A gentle voice sounded from behind the fountain, and ten black wizards from the Crow Party pulled out their wands. Rodriguez's face showed a rare trace of astonishment, but In the blink of an eye, he had restrained them all.

The next moment, an old man with silver hair wearing a plain white robe and a kind face walked out from behind the fountain. He had his hands empty and folded them in front of him. He looked like an ordinary old man without any threat at all.

But no one dared to act rashly, whether it was Rodriguez, Debra or the ten dark wizards from the Crow Party.

Because as long as this person stands here, he is an invisible deterrent, even if he is only one person, and he is facing a total of twelve people.

"Although I don't really like this statue that is full of hypocrisy and lies, that doesn't mean it should be blown up by a few dark wizards." The old man turned to look at the statue and shook his head with some regret. "Really, I used to She persuaded Bagnot to remove the statue, but she felt that the statue had been erected for many years and there was no reason to tear it down casually.”

"Albus Dumbledore..." Rodriguez took out his long pipe from his robe pocket, filled it with tobacco, and said softly: "It seems that my enemy is really not to be underestimated. , not only guessed that I was going to attack Diagon Alley, guessed that I was going to sell the werewolves, he even guessed that I was coming to the Ministry of Magic, and even invited you over in advance. Moon Fox, that’s the right name Bar."

The old man smiled, his eyes shining slightly behind his half-moon lenses, "I thought you would think your opponent was me, or Golov, or Minister Fudge."

Rodriguez smiled mockingly, "Dumbledore, do you think I'm as old as you? Ha, ever since I found out that the two old guys from the Rich family escaped early, I guessed that something was wrong with that kid. Not to mention that he has published so many articles before and after. Whether it is you or that politician Golov, you are not doing things this way."

He didn't mention Fudge at all, obviously he didn't regard Fudge as an opponent at all - after all, Fudge had to be led by his nose almost the whole time, and he even told Fudge about the true identity of the Rishi couple.

Dumbledore obviously understood this, so he nodded calmly, "Yes, Moon Fox is a good name, isn't it?"

"Unfortunately, I don't think so." Rodriguez sighed. "This name is really hard to like. I like something more complicated."

Dumbledore burst into laughter. "Okay, Rodriguez, I guess you didn't come to the Ministry of Magic just to chat with me. Now that I'm standing here, what are you going to do? Take action against me? Or will you regret it and retreat?"

"Why can't you give in? Dumbledore? I can promise you that I won't touch anyone except George Sargent." Rodriguez finally finished filling the tobacco, and he used the old method to put it in He lit it directly, then took a slow breath and continued: "Actually, I didn't intend to kill anyone. I just wanted to come over and blow up something, take away George Sargent, and if possible, ridicule that idiot Fudge. "

"In the end, you didn't even give me this chance - you have to have some mercy on the loser."

The old man shook his head, "You can't take anyone with you today, but I'm very pleased with your honest attitude about your failure. In the past, you had to be tough--"

Silver flashes of electricity shot out from Rodriguez's left hand and went straight to Dumbledore's eyebrows.

The elder wand had appeared in Dumbledore's hand at some point, and the old man didn't see any movement. The silver flash suddenly stopped two meters in front of him, and then turned into fly ash.

"——More." Dumbledore moved his lips and completed what he had been interrupted before he finished speaking. The next moment, following Rodriguez's movements, Debra and the ten crows The party's dark wizard has also waved his wand.

"It seems that you are determined to give it a try." Dumbledore finally raised his wand and waved his hand, causing a violent burst of fire to come out, swallowing up all the incoming spells. At the same time, he used his backhand to let both sides The two armored knight statues surrounding the wall jumped down from the platform and ran towards the ten black wizards of the Crow Party.

Rodriguez used his wand to gently pull in the black smoke floating around him, and pulled out three black crows. They rushed towards Dumbledore with a noisy cry, "How will you know if you don't try? Dumbledore, I don’t believe you can—"

His words finally came to an abrupt end, because not only did he see Dumbledore pull out chains made of water from the fountain next to him, and directly tie up the three black smoking crows to death, he also used his peripheral vision to He noticed one of his men slumped down.

The hideous wound almost penetrated the entire chest of the black wizard of the Crow Party, and a stream of blood was pouring out as if it were free. In less than a second, the feather-patterned robe on his body was dyed dark. red.

"Severus Snape..." Rodriguez murmured, and the wand drew a strange trajectory in the air. The three crows that had been bound to death by chains suddenly collapsed, and then they accelerated and sprinted to Dundee. In front of Bullido, it suddenly exploded into a large cloud of ink-colored smoke in the next moment, with dark flames faintly emerging from it.

But the next moment, Dumbledore walked out of the flames unscathed, and the thin film made entirely of water around him was still rippling with ripples.

Rodriguez shook his head slightly in disappointment, waved his wand and launched a new round of offensive.

At the same time, the other end of the main hall was also attacking and defending each other, and spells were constantly coming and going.The originally silent main hall of the Ministry of Magic was filled with all kinds of spells and explosions in the blink of an eye.

Snape had a cold face, and under his huge aquiline nose, the wanton sneer spreading from the corner of his mouth clearly demonstrated his disdain for these people - after all, this is what he likes the most, Rodriguez. They may not be able to deal with them, but these dark wizards from the Crow Party... are at the level of ordinary Aurors if they can survive.

What's more, he just took advantage of it and eliminated one.

Several streaks of black crowfire stretched into long lines in the air, and rushed towards Snape's chest at the same time like very long arrows. Then Snape swept them away with his wand, and all of them bounced aside.

"Sectumsempra."

A soft spell sounded, and a dark wizard who had just released the crow fire knew that he had become a target. He quickly dodged to avoid it, but the outside of his arm was still cut open, and blood flowed out.The dark wizard ignored the pain and quickly wanted to wave his wand, but the metal knight statue next to him had already rushed in front of him, raised his sword and knocked him away.

While Rodriguez and Debra were dealing with Dumbledore, another subordinate was defeated - in just a few minutes, their decline was clearly evident.At this point, how could he not know that what happened today would not be accomplished?He was no longer confident that he could securely win just one Dumbledore, let alone another Severus Snape. The word "failure" was barely visible on his face.

He hurriedly blew out another puff of black smoke and slashed the smoke with his wand, causing the black smoke to billow and spread. It was also mixed with a lot of crows, which made people feel upset.

Dumbledore waved his wand, whipping up a gust of wind, sweeping away the smoke while protecting his surroundings.With his sight blocked for a moment, waves of disembodiment sounds were heard in the smoke. Snape frowned and was about to make another tentative move when he heard Dumbledore's voice. The magic power easily covered the noisy crows and reached his ears.

"Stop, Severus, let them leave and see if the person just now is still breathing."

Snape paused for a moment, then lowered his eyebrows, lit his wand in the black mist as instructed, and walked towards the place where the dark wizard fell in his memory.

As a result, the next moment, along with the sound of the elevator door opening, a furious curse suddenly rang out in the empty main hall, "Albus Dumbledore! What the hell is going on!"

There is no doubt that the person who belatedly called out was none other than the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

Chapter 98 A moment of peace

When Moon, Golov, Nora, Moody and Sirius from the Order of the Phoenix arrived at the Ministry of Magic, they happened to witness Dumbledore clearing away the black smoke and Snape squatting on the ground "working diligently" "This scene of treatment going on.

And heard Fudge's angry questioning - even a little aggrieved in his anger.

Moon thought it was just his illusion.

Some of the other members of the Shafiq family have already left, while a small number are collecting the bodies of their three companions who died in the battle.Everyone in the Order of the Phoenix also left part of the way, and only Ephias Dorje and Hestia Jones sent Dige, who had broken his leg, to St. Mungo's for treatment.

In fact, Nora really wanted to bring the army over directly to give Fudge, who was destined to resign, some strength and blood pressure.But in the end, everyone gave up this plan. After all, due to reasons and reasons, they are still violating some rules, if not illegal.If you are too arrogant and domineering, it will also damage your reputation.

Dumbledore put away his wand, first blinked at Moon and others, and then slowly, like a real old man, turned around and looked at Fudge "Connelly" who was coming from the elevator. , I think you should know what is going on here, even if... well, anyway, now is not a good time to put on airs, is it?"

With just such a sentence, Fudge's face suddenly turned red and white due to stimulation. His lips murmured several times, as if there was gunpowder in his stomach and he couldn't wait to explode.But he finally held it back and looked coldly at the people in front of him - Albus Dumbledore and that damn Severus Snape standing at the front, and the arrogant people standing in the middle. Luo, and the Shafik family members, Alastor Moody, and Sirius Black standing at the back.

In fact, even the three members of the Shafiq family did not look at him with hostile eyes, but he felt that all these people seemed to have become his enemies at this moment.He didn't even dare to look back, for fear that the Ministry of Magic officials behind him were also looking at him with disdain and disgust.

Finally, after seven seconds of silence in the empty main hall, Fudge opened his mouth again.

"So, the werewolf trouble has been solved? The dark wizards of the Crow Party are here? What else happened? What else do you want to inform me, the Minister of Magic?"

There was no dissatisfaction, no anger, just unwillingness, pain, and a trace of fear.

He knew that he was finished.He was betrayed and disgraced. Not only was he about to lose his position as minister, but from now on, the evaluation he carried on his back would no longer be "weak", but "overjoyed", "stupid", "blind"...

Scrimgeour slowly lowered his head. His mood was very complicated. Although he had never liked Fudge very much, at this moment, he still felt a little sad.

The Ministry of Magic officials standing behind Fudge had different expressions. Some of them still didn't understand the situation, some were chuckling, and some were looking at Fudge with pity just like Scrimgeour.

Fudge himself stared at Dumbledore the whole time, as if the person who caused his downfall was not the dark wizard of the Crow Party, not the werewolf, not the Moon, not the decree signed by him, but Albus Dumbledore.

Dumbledore did not answer Fudge, but just looked at him quietly, with disappointment and some unbearability in his eyes.

"Answer me! Dumbledore!" Fudge unconsciously raised his voice, even though he was trying his best to control himself.

"No, Connelly, I think you should go home and have a good rest."

Fudge was deflated all of a sudden, as if Dumbledore's words just took away his spine. He tried to straighten his waist, but it still made people feel that he had become a bit shorter at that moment. .

"Very good, very well. It's time for me to rest. I'll deal with whatever happens tomorrow. Scrimgeour, those people who were captured - no matter who they are, I'll leave them to you. In short, they probably didn't do anything." You need me to intervene." He said in a low voice, took out his wand, turned around and disappeared.

As soon as Fudge left, the main hall fell into silence again. It was not until a while later that Scrimgeour realized that he should step forward to break the deadlock.He took steps forward, the hard heels of his boots colliding with the wooden floor, making a "thump, thump, thump" sound, all the way to Dumbledore's side.

"Thank you for your help, Professor Dumbledore, including all of this." He turned to look at Golov, Nora and Moon, and continued: "Probably until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the Shafiq Manor The injunction will be lifted and we will remove Edgar Shafiq's surveillance and remove the wanted warrant for Moon Fox. But this will take some time, so they may have to be patient for a little longer. "

Like Fudge and most people, Scrimgeour also placed the identity of "the mastermind behind the scenes" on Dumbledore.

"No problem, but I think that before everything ends tonight, you need to arrest one more person - George Sargent. I just heard the dark wizard of the Crow Party talking to me about him. That person obviously seems to be in collusion with the Crow Party. As for the specifics, I think the dark wizard on the ground who just saved his life will tell you. Of course, if you still have questions, you can also ask..." Deng Bullido hesitated, but quickly continued: "Ask me."

Scrimgeour glanced at the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic who were still standing there in surprise, then looked away and nodded, "Okay, thank you again for your help, goodbye."

Dumbledore nodded slightly, turned around, walked to Snape and whispered something, and Snape immediately disapparated and left the Ministry of Magic.Then, Dumbledore did not leave, but slowly came to Moon and others.

"It seems that I stole your limelight. It seems that most people in the Ministry of Magic think that I am the mastermind behind all this, whether it is Fudge or Scrimgeour." After greeting everyone, Dumbledore Finally, his eyes fell on Munn, and he said softly with a hint of teasing: "But unfortunately, the dark wizards of the Crow Party know very well that you are the one who ruined their plan."

Moon shrugged, "Don't worry, within three days, the entire British wizarding world will know that I am the culprit."

Everyone around was stunned, Dumbledore was the first to react, followed by Golov, Moody and Nora were also thoughtful - only Sirius had the "Subway Old Man Cell Phone" expression on his face.
