Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy Chapter 131: Silently
Meanwhile, Furstenberg Square, inside the French Ministry of Magic.
The light blue semi-transparent circular dome is filled with various sketches of the shapes of magical creatures and many constellation patterns, such as horned beasts, moon beasts, invisible beasts... countless. The bright starlight outside penetrated into the hall through the dome, and imprinted many illusory and magical creatures and phantoms on the shades of green floor.
At this moment, it seems that all the staff of the French Ministry of Magic have gathered in this brightly lit hall, but no staff is surprised by such a magical sight. Even the new staff who just graduated from Boothbarton in June of this year did not praise the scene that they would always linger in in the past.
On the contrary, the faces of the staff of the Ministry of Magic all have only a serious expression on their faces. The reason that made them treat it so solemnly was naturally the ball hanging in the middle of the hall. The sphere, which was always transparent and white like a crystal in the past, suddenly became scarlet and translucent, and even continued to emit sharp and ear-piercing sounds.
What is the meaning of this? Any Ministry staff present knows that this is almost the first lesson for every staff member.
Someone outside has violated the "International Wizarding Secrecy Act" and the "National Security Guarantee Act", and the level of violation has reached the highest level, which may threaten the full exposure of the entire French wizarding community!
"Can anyone tell me what's going on?" Patrice Falier, the minister of the French Ministry of Magic, stood in the middle of the crowd and shouted at the ebony crowd in front of him.
"I don't know! But it seems to be from the neighboring Seventh District." A clerk standing in the crowd yelled to his minister.
"The seventh district? The Bourbon Palace district?" Minister Patrice roared, completely missing his amiable image. But no staff member was surprised by this, because Secretary Patrice’s subsequent words have shown why he became so gaffe at this time.
"The area where Muggle state institutions are concentrated?" Minister Patrice's voice contained a trace of uncontrollable anger and panic that no one noticed.
"Yes, Mr. Minister, I am afraid that is the case." The old Auror Fernan, who had been in love with Wright, said.
"What about the reason? Who can tell me what the reason is?" Minister Patrice looked around the entire hall, hoping that someone could give a reasonable explanation.
"I don't know, Mr. Minister, everyone in the Auror office except me has gone out to investigate. Even the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters has sent a lot of people to help." Fernan hesitated. He said, "It's just that we haven't confirmed what it is for the time being. So far, we only found a cloud of black gas running around. It seems like..."
"What do you suspect?" Secretary Patrice cast his eyes on the experienced old Auror.
"The Silent One," Fernan said in a quiet voice.
……
Wright on the other side woke up completely from the residual sleepiness after a brief period of bewilderment. He quickly got up from the bed, looking up at the exploded ceiling while sorting his belongings.
"What's wrong? What happened upstairs? How could it suddenly explode?"
Wright is quickly analyzing the current situation in his mind.
During the previous days of contact, Wright was extremely certain that the family upstairs, that is, Velita and her grandmother must be ordinary people. Wright also knew through Velita that it was Velita's mother who lived upstairs in their house, but she rarely came back.
But it is undeniable that during that short contact, Wright did not perceive any traces of magical power on Velita’s mother, which means that the grandson and grandson who lived upstairs in his house All of them should be just ordinary people.
"Then what caused the situation upstairs?" Wright quickly sorted out his belongings, and now only the ordinary furniture that was in the room is left in the room, any implications All items with magical energy were put into the suitcase by Wright.
invited the rose scepter, who had been leaning on the bed, held it in his hand, lifted the box, and Wright flew lightly from the bedroom to the upper floor, which is Velita's house.
Wright has never been into Velita's house before. He expected it to be a small but very cozy little house. He vaguely knew that the living conditions of Velita and her grandmother were not very good, and sometimes they even needed to receive government relief funds, but they were able to guarantee their basic lives after all.
But now all the pieces of furniture that are visible are all broken furniture, and you can see dust flying everywhere. The photos originally hung on the wall also fell to the ground, and glass shards of all sizes were all over the floor.
There is also an expensive camera on the ground that is incompatible with the environment here, but that camera is now so badly damaged, and the film inside has been violently ripped out and placed in a mess.
In addition, there does not seem to be a living person in this family now. Neither the grandma, nor the middle-aged lady, nor Velita, the three grandparents seemed to have disappeared in an instant in the sound of the explosion.
right tapped the ground with the bottom of the rose scepter~IndoMTL.com~ The shadow perception opened instantly, and all the conditions in this old and dilapidated building immediately appeared in his mind.
from upstairs to downstairs, you have a clear view.
The situation downstairs Wright didn't pay attention to it after a little bit of knowledge. Vicka and her parents were not in the building at this time. In other words, apart from Wright, there is no living person in this building now. The deafening explosion just now awakened almost all the residents in the building. They are now standing downstairs wearing clothes, or visiting or talking about the top floor, and some people are calling the police.
But the situation upstairs silenced Wright.
Wright walked to the door of Velita's house without saying a word, and the information returned by Shadow Perception just now told him that there is another person here.
It's just that the person is dead.
Wright squatted down with complex expressions, and his fingers passed over the face of the corpse. The look of that face can be seen everywhere in this room, because there is only her picture on the wall in this house.
It’s just that the face now presented in front of Wright is not as cold, delicate and coquettish as in the photo.
This face is now covered with ugly scars, and even the two bright red lips have completely lost their vitality at this time. The neck was twisted at a weird angle, and his eyes were wide open. I wonder if he was shocked by the sudden death just now.
Although I only met once, Wright recognized this woman, she was Velita's mother.
And Wright also recognized the traces on her face and what caused it.
silently.
