Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1148: One fire
Chapter 1150 A Fire
Seeing that the summer vacation is coming to an end, Draco, who originally wanted to kill Dumbledore and restore the glory of the Malfoy family, has gradually lost his initial confidence.
At this moment, Draco Malfoy was sitting in front of the desk with a gloomy face, flipping through the murder plan he had racked his brains, and crossed out the plans on the notebook one by one with a quill.
When his eyes fell on Borgin Bock—the opal necklace, he frowned slightly.
Buying a dreadfully cursed opal necklace from Borgin Burke's shop for Dumbledore is not really a smart idea.
Even the inexperienced Draco knows this, just trying to sneak the opal necklace into Hogwarts is not an easy task.
What's more, it will be given to Dumbledore, and it will lead to his death.
This looks almost like a joke.
Maybe, this stupid assassination can make Dumbledore relax his vigilance?
Or, expose it all?
Draco Malfoy didn't cross it out in the end, he had no choice but to try.
What if it works?
Draco Malfoy suddenly felt stupid again, to overwhelm Dumbledore's negligence?
As far as he knew, someone never opened a package sent by a stranger, and he still had fantasies.
Thinking of that Mudblood, Albert Anderson, Malfoy felt a deep hatred in his heart. If it weren't for that Mudblood, how could his father have become a loser that everyone despises, and how could the Malfoy family not be reduced to the end they are now.
Draco Malfoy would have preferred to have been tasked with killing that Mudblood, if possible.
Compared to Dumbledore, Albert Anderson is actually better at killing.
Because his weakness is obvious.
That's right, just a few of his good friends.
As far as Draco knew, the Mudblood had a very good relationship with the Weasley twins, and even went to a large sum of Galleons to help them realize their dream of opening a shop.
Ordinary good friends can't do this level.
As long as you pass the Weasley brothers, there is a high probability that the Mudblood will be killed.
In fact, Draco also took killing Albert as his own plan, especially after finding out that it was very difficult to kill Dumbledore, he needed to leave a retreat for himself and his family.
According to Aunt Bella's information, the Dark Lord really wanted to kill that Mudblood. If he could kill that Mudblood, he would not only wash away the shame left by his father, but also let the mysterious man let Malfoy go. family.
Of course, Draco has never underestimated that Mudblood. He saw Albert take down all the Aurors single-handedly, and he knows better than anyone how powerful that Mudblood is. Surrounding and killing him, it is estimated that it will be difficult to kill him.
However, Aunt Bella's words that a Killing Curse can solve the trash reminded Draco.
That Mudblood is indeed powerful, and it is difficult to kill him head-on, but you can use despicable and insidious means, such as using the Weasley twins as bait.
After Draco told his mother and Aunt Bella about his thoughts, he got their support.
After some discussion, according to his mother's suggestion, the Malfoy family first admitted that the reward of 10,000 Galleons proposed by Lucius last time was still valid, and then handed over another Galleon to Bella for her to recruit Those greedy and desperate ones to deal with that mudblood.
Anyway, the Malfoy family has no shortage of Garen, and most importantly, this can maintain the reputation of the Malfoy family.
Although Draco also knew that the probability of letting those greedy guys kill Albert is really not high, what if it was a trap set for a weak point?
Maybe it will succeed?
After all, no matter how powerful the opponent is, he is only an individual and will be killed by the Killing Curse.
The guys who live in the gray area are obviously better than them.
No one can refuse the temptation from Garen.
However, what Draco Malfoy didn't know was that the moment his plan was implemented, the whole plan was on the verge of bankruptcy because someone couldn't stop Garen's temptation.
The worst thing is that the opponent's revenge has come.
When Draco put down the quill, he suddenly heard the family swallowtail dog barking crazily.
He quickly reached out and grabbed his wand, and observed the situation outside the manor through the window of the room, trying to figure out what happened.
At this moment, the door of the room was slammed open, and two figures rushed into the room, shouting, "Draco, my son, where are you!"
"What happened to Mom?" Draco looked at his mother who was hugging him, and asked vigilantly, "Did the Ministry of Magic come to arrest us? Or someone invaded the manor."
"It's more serious than that. We have to get out of here. The flames of the devil are about to spread." Bella waved her magic wand and blasted open the window, pushing her sister and nephew to jump out of the window to escape.
"Here is... ah!"
Before Draco could finish his sentence, Bella pushed him out of the window. With a scream, the three of them were suspended in mid-air for a moment, and when he recovered, he had already fallen to the ground.
"What is it..." Draco's words stopped suddenly, because he found that somehow the whole manor was on fire, and it spread at an extremely terrifying speed.
"Hurry up, **** it, run."
Bella dispersed the giant flaming bird that was rushing towards them, grabbed the struggling two and told them to run quickly. She couldn't quell the out-of-control devil flames at all, so she could only leave here with her sister and nephew.
Rolling and crawling, Malfoy has never been in such a panic like today. He turned his head from time to time, watching the turbulent flames turn into various ferocious beasts, chasing and killing them behind them.
"Damn, what the **** is going on." Malfoy asked breathlessly.
"Fiendfire Curse."
After retreating to the entrance of the manor, Bella, who was looking at the turbulent fire waves in front of her, finally managed to explain to them, "Someone used the Fiercefire Curse to directly destroy the protective magic of Malfoy Manor, and they are taking revenge You guys, this place is no longer safe, we must leave here."
"How could this be..."
Looking at the manor that had turned into a sea of flames, Narcissa looked like she might faint at any moment.
"Damn, how did this happen, who did it."
Draco Malfoy seemed to be drained of all his strength, and fell to his knees on the ground, looking at the manor engulfed by the hellish flames, he beat the ground with his fist unwillingly, and roared angrily.
His home is gone.
…
Late at night, Ministry of Magic.
Since Scrimgeour became Minister and announced that the Ministry of Magic has entered a wartime state, there have been people staying in the Ministry of Magic for a long time, and Scrimgeour will stick to his post every night.
Whether it is dealing with official documents, sitting in the Ministry of Magic, or even thinking about countermeasures. At least, everyone can see his attitude, and no one dares to complain about working overtime.
There was a knock on the door, and Percy's voice sounded outside.
"Come in!"
Scrimmel, who was reviewing official documents, put down the quill in his hand, and reached for the wand next to him.
After Percy went in, he immediately reported to his boss what happened in Diagon Alley.
After listening to the assistant's report, Scrimgeour frowned slightly, and repeated what he had just heard: "There are more than fifty bugs wandering around Knockturn Alley trying to rob the Defense Against the Dark Arts store?"
"Yes, except for some who escaped, the rest were all subdued. Kingsley has already taken the emergency team to Diagon Alley to deal with this matter. They have also arrested several suspicious elements. They are currently being interrogated and should be soon. You can get the latest news."
Percy glanced at his boss secretly, and continued: "The shop owner thinks that these people are going to the Defense Against the Dark Arts specialty store. The reason is probably that the Ministry of Magic regulates the Defense Against the Dark Arts items, which has damaged the interests of some merchants. ...They also think that this incident may have something to do with the mysterious person. If you are lucky, you may be able to catch some Death Eater minions who are making trouble for the Ministry of Magic.”
"It seems that my luck is not bad." Scrimgeour stood up from behind the desk, obviously planning to go over to pay attention to the latest situation in person.
Anything related to the mysterious person deserves his attention.
As soon as he left the office, Scrimgeour seemed to think of something, turned his head to Percy behind him and said, "Let the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic reject the appeal of Joko and others on the grounds of insufficient evidence. After all, they are in the Ministry of Magic. Patent registered and protected by the Patent Act.”
"Yes." Percy thought for a while and asked again, "Do you want to hold a press conference tomorrow?"
"If this matter has something to do with the mysterious man, then reveal the Ministry of Magic's plot to smash the mysterious man again." Scrimgeour thought for a while and said, "Also, you can secretly reveal the dark arts defense props , showing that the Ministry of Magic has always been committed to protecting everyone's safety."
"As for this matter, let Kingsley and Arthur jointly investigate."
Although he knew that Percy belonged to Albert, Skrein still used him.
Nothing more.
Because of safety.
It's ridiculous to say it, but it's true.
If Scrimgeour doesn't want to die like Burns, he has to pay attention to his own safety. For example, the place where he lives now is a safe house protected by the Fidelity Curse. The keeper of the secret is Albus Dumbledore profitable.
When the two came to the interrogation room, the results of the interrogation had already come out.
When Scrimgeour had just received the documents and was about to check the content of the interrogation, a wizard who stayed behind hurried over.
"Devil's Flame, someone used the Devil's Flame to set Malfoy Manor on fire." The wizard panted to report the latest news to Scrimgeour.
"There are a lot of things today." Scrimgeour handed the document to Percy, and walked out of the interrogation room quickly, "How is the situation over there? Is the fire under control?"
It's no wonder Scrimgeour is so nervous, the Fiercefire Curse is a very dangerous black magic, and once it gets out of control, it will have dire consequences.
"Director Robards has led people to control the situation."
"Director Robards sent a message back that the fire over there is huge and more assistants are needed." The former assistant gasped and said, "There is one more thing, the Aurors saw the fire over Malfoy Manor Dark Mark."
"Dark Mark, are you sure you're not joking?" Scrimgeour stopped in his tracks, looking at his former assistant with astonishment on his face.
The mysterious man set Malfoy Manor on fire?
This is without a doubt the funniest thing Scrimgeour has heard this century.
"It is indeed the Dark Mark."
"Tell Kingsley, let him immediately lead people to Malfoy Manor for reinforcements, as for the matter at hand. Weasley, you lead people to take over, and first take those **** back to the Ministry of Magic and imprison them." Lin Jie greeted the others, intending to take them to Malfoy Manor for reinforcements.
"By the way, send someone to notify Dumbledore."
To be honest, Scrimgeour doubted that this was a trick played by the mysterious man, intending to use this to divide the defense force of the Ministry of Magic and create a chance to assassinate him, but after thinking about it carefully, it doesn't look like it.
By the time Scrimgeour led people to Malfoy Manor, the situation over there was already a bit bad, and the Aurors could only barely control the situation, preventing the devil flames from spreading around.
The situation was finally stabilized after Scrimgeour brought people in. In the end, it was Dumbledore who came to help clean up the mess and completely quelled the terrible disaster.
"Do you know who did it?" After greeting Dumbledore, Scrimgeour turned to ask the old man in charge of leading the team.
"I don't know, when we arrived, the devil's flames had completely engulfed Malfoy Manor,
And there is a tendency to want to spread outside. Fortunately, you came in time, otherwise if the devil's flame really spreads, this area may be completely finished. " Gadwin smiled wryly, he is still confused now.
To be honest, it's really hard to be the head of the Auror office. He was exhausted during this time, and Kingsley's crisis response team helped to share a lot of the pressure.
"They saw the Dark Mark, could this be a conspiracy by You-Know-Who?" Scrimgeour asked Dumbledore.
"I don't know." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Is the Malfoy family still alive?"
Scremgeour looked at Gadwin, who shook his head to express that he was not clear about it.
"Hell tonight, one thing after another," said Scrimgeour, "if you have time ~IndoMTL.com~ we'd better talk about the situation in the British wizarding world and Hogwarts The safety of the students."
"You think you have a lot of things to do later, let's make an appointment after eleven o'clock." Dumbledore took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, then smiled and said to Scrimgeour.
"See you later." Scrimgeour didn't refuse, and after watching Dumbledore leave, he turned his head and said to his old buddy Gadwin, "When the press conference is held tomorrow, you can give those reporters a little hint, Lucius Malfoy was suspected of being revenged by the mysterious man for leaking information about the Death Eaters to the Ministry of Magic."
Galdwin was a little taken aback.
"Hint, I just need to mention it to your assistant, he knows what to do?"
As for whether the Malfoy family will suffer from this, that is none of Scrimgeour's business.
The devil knows whether Lucius' wife and son are still alive after the fire.
Anyway, after this incident, the relationship between the mysterious man and the Death Eaters must become very delicate. Even if the plan fails, the mysterious man can still be disgusted.
