Harry Potter and the Burnt Badger

Rodriguez crushed his pipe.

Heavy black smoke exploded out, like ink thrown into water, directly dyeing a darkness that was completely impossible to see through, surrounding Rodriguez.

"burst!"

The faces of the Aurors who were about to arrest changed. Professor Dumbledore moved the fastest. He immediately waved his wand and shouted in a deep voice: "Oriensuallum (Wall of Dawn)!" [Note 1]

After Rodriguez shouted the word "explosion", the seven living black wizards of the Crow Party suddenly raised their hands and opened their robes as if they had received some order. Only then did everyone see, Under the feather-patterned robes worn by the black wizards of the Crow Party, there was actually their dry and decaying upper body.What is even more chilling is that there are small dark red crows attached to the body that can be said to be completely skinny.

As they opened their robes, the dark red crows immediately flapped their wings and flew high into the sky, rushing toward everyone except the black wizards of the Crow Party at extremely fast speeds.

“Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang—!!!”

A series of violent explosions sounded, and bursts of blood mist directly corroded a layer of the ground.However, neither the explosion nor the blood mist touched the others at all, but were all stopped.

Like the sunlight that lights up at dawn, the bright and soft light escapes from the tip of Professor Dumbledore's staff, and then interweaves to form a wall that seems to have no strength at all.But this wall, which was completely intertwined with soft light, easily blocked out all harm, not even a single bit of it was missed.

Those terrifying shocks and blood mist did not pose any threat at all in front of this wall.

Everything happened in just two or three seconds. While Dumbledore successfully blocked this sudden change, Golov's fierce fire also devoured Rodriguez's position.

All the black smoke had disappeared after being swept away by the fierce fire.However, Golov knew very well that he did not kill Rodriguez.

When the blood mist dissipated, the seven dark wizards who had previously lifted their robes were already seven mummies lying on the ground, completely silent.

Dumbledore put away his wand and quickly followed everyone in the direction of Munn. Edgar was the fastest. He rushed to Munn first and looked at Munn worriedly, but Moon He smiled at everyone and stood up.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." He tugged on the robe on his body. The skin under the robe was white and smooth, and not even a scar was left. Before anyone came over, he had already given himself a shot to treat serious injuries. , healed the injuries on his body.

The wounds caused by those spears looked ferocious, but in fact, under the double protection of the bear's body and Hada's arms, they were not too serious.

Edgar immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Golov also smiled.Professor Dumbledore was about to speak, but his expression suddenly changed, he pulled out his wand and turned around quickly. At the same time, Moon actually waved his hand directly towards an Auror.

He felt the man's sudden outburst of malice.

Golov and Snape were the first to react and immediately drew out their wands and turned around. However, under the influence of Moon's gravity-defying technique, the Auror fell forcefully while controlling a rope with his wand and died. It tightly wrapped around Edgar's arm, and then the whole body quickly twisted and disappeared.

The three curses that were about to be cast suddenly stopped, and Edgar's body was distorted simultaneously. If they really hit the Auror with the curse or cut the rope, it might cause even worse consequences. s consequence.

Moon also knew this, but at this point, there was nothing anyone could do.

So he stretched out his hand and grabbed the rope at the last moment.

Or rather, that door key.

Chapter 1 Death of the Avenger

With a sudden spin, the three people connected by ropes fell heavily to a dilapidated wooden floor.

Moon staggered to steady his body, and quickly threw a colorful ball at the Auror who suddenly threw away the door key rope. Edgar also immediately attacked to prevent himself from falling into the enemy's fighting rhythm.However, after the man used his wand to fend off the attacks of the two men, he did not immediately fight back. Instead, he raised his hand and took off the hood on his head, revealing his true appearance.

"Ken?" Edgar was stunned for a moment, and then asked with confusion: "How did you—"

"He is not Ken O'Gorman." Moon raised his hand to stop Uncle Edgar's questioning. At the same time, he paid attention to the man pretending to be Ken O'Gorman and paid attention to the surrounding situation with his peripheral vision.

This place looks like an old abandoned house, with spider webs everywhere, dust on the ground, mottled walls, peeling wall coverings, dirty and cracked window glass, which is very disturbing. It was difficult to see the outside world clearly, and I could only barely tell that this room was not on the first floor.Although the whole room was very spacious, it seemed a bit empty and eerie because it was empty.

After hearing Moon's words, Edgar, who had complete trust in Moon, chose to continue pointing his wand at the man standing not far away, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

'Ken O'Gorman''s face was indifferent. He did not answer Edgar's words, nor did he look at Moon. Instead, he chose to turn and look at the door on the north side of the room.

The meaning contained in this action is self-evident. It is obvious that someone will come out of that door.

The two uncles and nephews exchanged glances quickly, and then attacked 'Ken O'Gorman' at the same time - if they waited for others to come in before attacking, they would probably fall into a numerical disadvantage. It was better to subdue the man in front of them first. People, in order to seek some advantages.

Edgar chose the silent spell, while Munn continued to use magic energy explosions to cover his uncle. 'Ken O'Gorman' was not slow in his movements. He should have never let down his guard from the beginning to the end, so as soon as Edgar and Munn's attacks were launched, he clenched his wand and quickly released the Iron Armor Curse to offset it again. Two-man attack.

Munn saw the right moment and took advantage of the moment when his opponent turned around to release the Iron Armor Curse. Just as he was about to use the Blood Tongue Curse to control him, he heard a soft "squeak--" sound.

The door opened, and Rodriguez, who was wearing a black feather-patterned robe and looked slightly pale, walked out from behind the door. The hem of his clothes still had burn marks left by Munn's Infernal Rebuke spell.

Moon stopped casting the spell because the moment Rodriguez walked into the room, Moon felt a burst of strong hatred from 'Ken O'Gorman'.

With this sudden burst of hatred, Moon's previous suspicions were basically finalized.

"Ekel Weaving?" He frowned, looked at Ken O'Gorman, and said coldly: "Polyjuice potion?"

Edgar was stunned for a moment, and then he sighed quietly, with a rare look of heaviness on his face.

"It seems you don't need me to introduce you to each other anymore." Rodriguez lightly clapped his hands, "That's great."

Ekel Weaving ignored Moon's questioning, just stared at Rodriguez's face, and said in a hoarse voice: "I brought Edgar Shafiq to you, now it's your turn. It’s time for you to fulfill your promise.”

Rodriguez looked at Ecker with a half-smile, and habitually put his hand into his pocket. Then he realized that he had already crushed the pipe to pieces in order to escape.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his urge to smoke, used his wand to conjure a chair, sat on it, and then said with a mocking face: "But what I want is the body of Edgar Shafiq, not a Edgar Shafiq is alive. What's more, you brought his nephew here with you, which is a big worry for me. I don't have time to take care of myself now, and I have to think about how to escape from that little monster. Fulfill your promise? Are you kidding me?"

Ecker suddenly pointed his wand at Rodriguez, "If you dare to go back on your word, I will kill you first."

"Tsk—" Rodriguez sneered, "Are you crazy? Don't forget, I am a dark wizard. Isn't it what I should do if I go back on my word?"

Ecker looked at Rodriguez with a gloomy expression, and after a while he said through his teeth, "What do you want?"

"Weiwen..." Edgar opened his mouth to say something, but was preempted by Moon standing next to him.

"Mr. Rodriguez, why don't we make a deal." Moon tugged on Edgar's sleeve and said loudly to Rodriguez: "He just wants to know what Eric was like back then. ·Who was betrayed by Li, leading to his eventual death? It just so happens that I know only a little about this matter, and I also want to know more about it. In this way, if you tell the truth, I can let you go."

Edgar's expression changed, and he was about to say something, but was stopped by Moon again.On the other hand, Ekel Weaving on the side had no objection at all, and even became obviously excited.

This man has completely fallen into a demonic barrier.

Rodriguez pondered for a moment, and finally nodded happily. Without even asking Moon to make any oath with him, he directly spoke out the answer to the matter that had been bothering Ekel Weaving.

"No one betrays, whether it's Edgar Shafiq or Eric Lee, they are all loyal... um, subordinates of the Ministry of Magic."

Rodriguez's words were quite understated, as if he was stating something completely insignificant.However, this simple sentence became a thunder in the hearts of Edgar and Ekel.

The difference was that Edgar's face showed shock, while Ekel seemed to have suffered an extremely heavy blow.

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, his face was dull, but his eyes kept wandering, as if he was judging the truth or falsehood of Rodriguez's words.

Perhaps, he preferred that Rodriguez was lying to him.

Rodriguez glanced at Ecker's self-deceiving look with satisfaction, and continued: "But, if I have to say that someone betrayed, then there is - Eric Lee was in charge of the case that the Crow Party was responsible for. The high-level executive in charge of the matter used the Imperius Curse. To be more precise, it was because Eric Lee was under the Imperius Curse that the high-level executive thought of using this method to deal with the Ministry of Magic. Pass the news to the Auror, and then let Eric Lee took the initiative to participate in this matter and eventually lured your Auror team to the location of the Raven Dragon."

"Of course, it turns out that Eric Lee is not useless at all. At the last moment of the plan, that guy probably broke free from the shackles of the Soul Imperius Curse temporarily, although it should only be a moment's effort, which caused him to fail. We had to explain everything to Edgar Shafiq, but he still managed to expose our setup in advance.”

"I believe you all know what happens next."

Ekel lowered his head and stood there without saying a word. Even the wand that was originally held high fell to the side of his leg.

Rodriguez looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Such an interesting scene should be accompanied by two puffs of cigarettes.

He stuck out his tongue, moistened his dry lips, and turned to look at Moon. "I can guarantee that everything I just said is absolutely true, and there is no falsehood at all. So, I think I can probably go?"

Moon noticed that Uncle Edgar beside him tightened his wand. It was obvious that as long as he opened his mouth, Uncle Edgar would definitely attack Rodriguez directly.And he knew very well that Rodriguez had no accomplices around him at this time, and he had been scolded by him again. The price he paid for being able to escape smoothly was not small.If he and Uncle Edgar took action together, Rodriguez would probably be left here completely - even if he was allowed to escape again, at least he would be able to skin him one more time.

But under Rodriguez's eager eyes, Moon finally nodded. He looked deeply at Rodriguez, whispered something softly, and at the same time raised his hand to draw a line between the two.

"Walk slowly, don't send."

Edgar moved restlessly, but Rodriguez completely turned a deaf ear to Edgar's reaction. He just smiled at Moon with satisfaction, "I understand, I understand, don't worry, we will still be together in two years at most." See you again, Mr. Fox."

"Then I'm waiting for your good news." Moon nodded happily, and then turned his attention completely to Ekel Weaving, and at the same time said: "Uncle, you should also go and take a look at the surrounding situation to confirm. How should we go back? It's enough for me to be here."

Edgar's lips murmured twice but did not move.

It is true that he has an off-beat temperament and has a bit of a juvenile temperament, but he is not stupid.

He knew what Moon meant.

But to be honest, he was a little bit intolerable at first, and he had been a colleague for several years after all.What's more, people are complicated after all. Although Ekel was extreme, impulsive, and even lost his mind in this matter, and did many excessive things, in other matters, Ekel Weaving is indeed a qualified person. An Auror who fights bravely and values ​​love and justice.

Secondly, and more importantly... Edgar didn't want Moon to kill someone.Among other things, Barty Crouch Sr.'s reputation among wizards immediately became polarized because he allowed Aurors to use the Unforgivable Curse against Death Eaters.In the eyes of most wizards, killing is a serious sin. Even if the enemy is a dark wizard, when they have a choice, wizards usually think that subduing them is a better choice.

Although Edgar himself does not agree with this view much, it is the mainstream view in the wizarding world after all.

If he really wanted to kill Ekel Weaving, Edgar would rather do it himself.

So he stared at Moon's side face, finally no longer hesitated, and said with a slight sigh: "Is it necessary?"

"Alas..." Moon glanced at Uncle Edgar's unlifted wand and smiled bitterly, "It has to be this way."

"Using Polyjuice Potion to impersonate a current Auror, participating in and sabotaging the Ministry of Magic's operations, and I don't believe that Ken O'Gorman cooperated with him voluntarily, so add another one of attacking an Auror. These two charges alone are enough to make He spent the rest of his life in Azkaban." Moon counted Ekel Weaving's guilt in detail. "What's more, what if my injury has not healed? What if you are still weak now? What do you think of Rodri? Will Guezi let us go? Or do you think he will accept it all after Rodriguez tells the truth?"

"To be honest, Uncle Edgar, do you think he has any idea of ​​admitting his mistake now?"

Ekel Weaving suddenly raised his head and looked at Edgar and Moon. "You don't have to show such hypocrisy. Ha, I am guilty? Then what is your crime for letting the leader of the Crow Party escape just now?" ? Do you think I can't see that there is collusion between you and that person? The truth? All the things he said were used to deceive me, right? Have you colluded for a long time and want to use this method? Discredit me and kill me openly."

He roared and raised the wand in his hand ferociously towards Munn. Edgar gritted his teeth and quickly raised his hand to cast a spell, but Munn got ahead of him and raised his hand to activate a magic blast.

The next moment, the energy beam of the magic explosion easily penetrated Ekel Weaving's chest - there was no blocking or avoiding. After Moon raised his hand, Ekel Weaving even put down the hand holding the wand. .

He fell down in despair.

Seeing Ekel Weaving fall straight onto the dusty floor, and looking at Moon's face that showed no surprise at all, Edgar made a sudden decision. When he raised the wand, he had no intention of resisting, but chose to seek death.

Ekel Weaving, who was holding Ken O'Gorman's face, still had a breath of air. He spat out pink blood foam and stared at Edgar with a bit of resentment in his eyes. But at the same time, besides the resentment, there was also a bit of confusion in those eyes.

"I...can't tell..." The wound that penetrated his lungs made it impossible for him to speak smoothly. Even if he tried to speak hoarsely, his voice was still hoarse and indistinguishable. "I still...go and...find it myself." ...Eric just ask..."

Edgar turned his head sideways with some reluctance, no longer looking at the dying Ekel.

A few seconds later, Moon waved his magic wand, summoning fierce fire, and completely burned the body of Ekel Weaving.

"I don't understand." Edgar slumped down on the floor and put his wand into his pocket. "Why bother?"

"Maybe he wanted to die a long time ago." Moon walked to the bedside, repaired the cracked window and window frame, and then opened the window, letting in the wind and fine raindrops.

There has been no thunder for a long time since the heavy rain fell.

"Although I don't know the full story, it's just that he took the initiative to find Rodriguez, or Rodriguez found him, and the two parties made an agreement. If Rodriguez failed to successfully exchange the body, Weiwen would pretend to be An Auror steals your body. Think about defeat before thinking about victory, and have an extra hand to prepare. This is Rodriguez's usual method."

"As a price, Rodriguez will tell Ekel Weaving the truth about that incident. That is the devil in Weaving's heart. After being transferred from the Auror team, I am afraid that besides his family, what price will he pay? Everyone is willing to pay for it.”

Exhausted both physically and mentally, Edgar leaned back against the wall. "He didn't have to reach such a pitiable state."

Moon laughed dumbly. "This sounds weird. Uncle, you should change this idea. Ekel Weaving is not worthy of pity at all. He thinks he is an avenger and has insight into justice and truth." That person. So for his own paranoid and wishful thinking, he refused to listen to anyone's explanations, didn't look at any evidence, abandoned his professional ethics as an Auror, and was even willing to trade his own life for the truth - from following From the moment Rodriguez made the deal, he probably wasn't prepared to live. But don't forget, uncle, Ekel Weaving has a wife and children."

"If Ekel Weaving can be called pitiable, there are few people in the world who do not deserve pity."

"He may not be considered a complete scumbag, but when it comes to death, he definitely deserves to die."

Edgar was silent for a long time, and finally muttered in a low voice: "Just tell me this. Don't say such things when you go out. It will make you look cold-blooded."

"Maybe I'm cold-blooded to begin with." Moon teased, turned around and looked at Edgar who still had no intention of going back. He was startled for a moment, then realized what he was doing and said softly: "Uncle, do you still want to go back?" Ask me... why do you want to let Rodriguez go?"

Edgar nodded silently, confirming Moon's idea.

"Because... he and I both know that I can still use him." Moon rubbed his aching arms and put away the expired door key rope on the ground. The Dark Wizards' Society hiding in the shadows has dragged them into the light, and I hope he can do this. If we kill him, the Crows will still be the same Crows, but if we let him go, the Crows will surface sooner or later. "

"But he is a dark wizard after all. Even if he wants to uproot the Crow Party, he will still cause countless troubles in the process." Edgar frowned. "There will be blood, people will die, and many, many problems will occur. "

"Only by dragging the Crow Party into the sunlight can we destroy them." Feeling that the smoke in the room had almost dissipated, Moon closed the window again and said, "Kill Rodriguez and leave him alone." If you join the Crow Party, more blood will be shed and more people will die. The only thing I can guarantee is that every time Rodriguez gets into trouble, I will be the first to stand up. The plan I laid out, I bleed first.”

Edgar was completely speechless. He sighed, stood up from the ground, and moved a little bit.

He didn't notice that there was a trace of hesitation in the eyes of Moon, who had his back turned to him, as if he was thinking about something.

Because in Munn's mind, which he could not perceive, Rodriguez, who had established a spiritual connection with Munn, was stating his plan to Munn.

Word for word, nothing hidden.

Chapter 121 The Dust Settled

"Oh my god... you are finally back."

Edgar had just apparated back to the gate of Shafiq Manor with Moon. Clancy Rainey, the Auror who had had a "fate" with Moon, immediately greeted him. Come up. "Quick, come in. The Minister, Mr. Scrimgeour, Professor Dumbledore and Mr. Shafik are all waiting for news in the manor. Merlin's beard... they are all very angry. I have never seen Deng Professor Bullydo has lost his temper, and Mr. Scrimgeour was scolded so badly by them that we will probably lose all our bonuses this year."

He breathed a long sigh of relief. Although there was obviously some curiosity in his eyes, he did not ask anything. Instead, he directly pulled the two of them and walked quickly towards the manor, while shouting loudly, "The person has been found!" Edgar and Moon are back!"

Moon looked at him helplessly, thinking that Mr. Auror seemed very stable last time, but now he was more anxious than an ant on a hot pot.

When they were about to arrive at the main hall, Golov and others, who had already heard Reni's shouts, all rushed to the door with great strides. It wasn't until they saw clearly that the people who came back were indeed Edgar and Moon that everyone finally took a moment. He relaxed a little, and his originally tense expression became much more relaxed.But Professor Dumbledore did not immediately come to the two of them, and even stopped the others, and then asked in a deep voice: "Moon, you once told me that someone asked you to remind me to change the password for the office. At that time, What password was used?"

"Rabbit dung eggs." Moon answered quickly. "Besides, the person who asked me to do this was not a 'person', but the gargoyle guarding the door of your office."

A smile finally appeared on Professor Dumbledore's face. He nodded happily and put down his slightly raised hand again.

Golov dragged his lame leg and came to the two of them as quickly as possible. He patted Edgar's shoulder with his left hand and rubbed Moon's hair with his right hand. There was a slight moist glint in the corners of his eyes—— Probably realizing this, he simply took another step forward and hugged the two of them tightly.

He didn't say anything, but he seemed to have said everything.

"Okay, okay, uncle." Moon patted Uncle Golov's back gently with his backhand, comforting him, and at the same time glanced at the other people in the main hall.
