Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1017: mutual Muggle

? "Have you seen enough? If you have seen enough, come out!"

While Maca and the windbreaker were still walking around in black and white London, a figure appeared from outside that space.

Undoubtedly, it was Helbo-although he did not enter the space where Maca was, he seemed to be able to see what was happening inside, and his eyes looked far away. In the direction of Big Ben.

In the next moment after that, all the Muggles sent by Maca into the dungeon of the Ministry of Magic began a terrible change.

Obviously, if those Muggles have problems individually, they can be called "incidental." But if it happened almost at the same time, no one would believe it because no one was operating behind it.

……

"At present, the ten underground floors where the dungeon is located have been completely isolated, but none of the Aurors dispatched before have returned..."

At this moment in the meeting room of the Ministry of Magic, Snape and Slughorn were listening to a report on the status quo.

Judging from the entire known history described in the report, the Muggle mutation that erupted in the dungeon was quite sudden. Had it not been for Maca and Kingsley to carefully plan the emergency response in advance, it would be too late to say anything.

"According to the director’s instructions, two groups of team members were guarding and patrolling in the corridor outside the dungeon. The therapists sent by St. Mungo also happened to conduct routine inspections for the Muggles. I immediately left the cell..."

"So, when the cell door was destroyed, only one group of left-behind team members died. And everyone else, including the therapist, has now been confirmed to have survived."

After hearing the report of the Auror who was in charge of escorting the therapist at the time, Snape thought for a while and asked quickly:

"So what? Do you have more specific details about those Muggles?"

"Oh, Hankins knows better than me about this."

When the Auror saw him asking, he turned around and gestured to the other Auror behind him.

"He is Tommy Hankins. This morning he was the team member responsible for patrolling after the therapist's inspection time—" he introduced. "At that time, their group also left after we escorted the therapist away. Yes, it was only about ten minutes earlier than the third team who stayed at the end to buy time for us."

Speaking of this, the Auror couldn't help but pause for a while.

They are Aurors, and for things like sacrifice for public service, they are already mentally prepared when they become Aurors. However, the colleagues died to ensure that their two teams complete their tasks, which is still sad after all.

However, they are enlightened after all, and after a small pause, his expression is complete:

"In addition, Hankins' team is also the team responsible for starting the multi-protection spell. They did the task of emergency isolation of the ten underground floors."

"On behalf of the Ministry of Magic, thank you again for your contribution." Scrimgeour nodded sincerely beside him.

Of course Snape ignored Scrimgeour's words. After the Auror briefly stated his colleague's work, his attention was then placed on the Hankins Auror.

"Hello, Mr. Snape."

Hankins took a step, the tough facial contour revealing his firm heart.

"I did pay special attention to the state of Muggles at the time," he said seriously. "Actually, the abnormal changes that made us notice at first were a kind of black air. Which black air is close to the ground, from the cell A little bit filled the gap in the door—I think it was a bit similar to Voldemort’s Dark Death. Of course, I couldn’t tell whether it was different."

"It didn't take long for the solid metal prison door to be destroyed by some kind of great force, and the Muggles rushed out of it."

Snapple nodded slightly, frowned and said:

"Just like the Black Death, you're all mad?"

"No, that's not it," Hankins shook his head. "The black air disappeared very quickly, and when the Muggles appeared, they were basically no different from ordinary people."

As for this, he suddenly turned to say:

"But more importantly, I think they should at least retain a certain amount of wisdom-when the three groups stayed to stop them, some of the Muggles obviously tried to bypass them. If not for the three groups My colleagues desperately blocked it, maybe our second group will not be able to complete the task of isolation."

The dungeon on the tenth floor of the Ministry of Magic and the Department of Mystery Affairs on the ninth floor of the Ministry of Magic have existed since the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic-the wizard council period, which naturally includes the multiple protection magic used for isolation today. .

And this is also the reason why McGonagall and Snape chose to delay and wait for a while.

But in fact, the only thing that can be used as a temporary reliance is the isolation between the tenth and ninth underground floors.

After all, the Department of Mystery Affairs on the ninth floor of the basement is too special. If those alienated Muggles break into that floor, the situation will really be overwhelming.

Getting the initial performance after the Muggle Mutation, Snape immediately fell into thinking. Slughorn on the side saw that he didn't speak any more, so he took the conversation.

"Minister Scrimgeour," this bald, fat old man, in the current emergency situation, finally no longer smiles as usual, "I remember the Auror mentioned it just now, and then you sent it again. Did anyone go down and watch it?"

"Yes! Professor Slughorn."

In the beginning, Scrimgeour was naturally a student of Hogwarts. As for the former Dean of Slytherin College in front of him, his former little snake still showed considerable respect.

"A total of four more hitters and two Aurors were dispatched one after another, all of which were removed through Apparition after temporarily lifting the Ministry of Magic’s anti-phantom manifestation curse. Unfortunately, none of the six were able to return. "He said, "After reaching the agreed-upon fifteen minutes of sight, we waited another five minutes or so. In the end, we could only turn on the anti-phantom manifestation again and stop risking more people to go down."

"It seems that the situation here seems not to be optimistic!" Slughorn regretfully shook his head, "Minister Scrimgeour, I think your approach is correct, and there is no way to give up. ."

After that, the chairperson's table finally fell into silence for a while, and no one knew what to do.

At the end, Scrimgeour suddenly said:

"I'll send a letter to the International Wizarding Federation--not to mention, at least I have to get a response from there."

From his words alone, you can know that he has already sent out letters, and most of them were the act of asking for help when he sent someone to Hogwarts.

However, the federation has not responded yet.

……

Leave aside the silence on the Ministry of Magic, but at this moment, Luna was accompanied by Flitwick to the street park where Maca disappeared.

It can be seen that the pit dug by Maca himself a few days ago has not been filled. And everywhere around this park, Kingsley led the people to set Muggle expulsion curses to prevent unknown Muggles from approaching this place that might still be dangerous and hidden.

"Miss Lovegood, be careful! Don't go too fast!"

The little man Flitwick shook his short arms and legs and followed Luna closely.

But Luna didn't pay much attention to Professor Flitwick's screaming call. She seemed to be very curious about this place. She was busy running around and didn't mean to let go of almost every inch of space.

Because Aberforth did not directly participate in the disappearance of Maca after all, he even heard about the general situation from others, so he did not bring Luna here last night.

No, in fact, Luna was just wandering around London all night.

"Miss Lovegood, did you find anything?"

"Oh, um..." Luna leaned over and looked at the bottom of the pit, but she said in an unreasonable way, "Professor Flitwick, how deep do you think this pit is? Will I jump down like this? Did you break your leg?"

"Ouch!" Flitwick quickly held his wand firmly, and screamed, "Don't jump~IndoMTL.com~Don't jump--not to mention that you can break your leg if you fall, who knows if this is still Is there magic arranged by Helbo?"

"Huh?" Luna straightened up and said, "Hailbo's magic...will there be any?"

To be honest, a few days have passed, and even if there were any traces of magical power left at the time, it has mostly faded away now. So even though Luna checked very carefully, she hadn't found anything up to this moment.

And if there is any place in this small park that has not been sensed, it is undoubtedly the very deep vertical pothole in front of you.

"Professor Flitwick, I want to go down and have a look."

"No, no, it's definitely not possible!" Flitwick quickly waved his hands, "Moreover, Sirius and the others must have not missed the check below. If there is a clue, they will definitely say it. ."

"But I have really seen all the places except below here? As for the outside of the park, the probability of finding Maca must be even lower..."

Before speaking, she saw Luna pull out her wand and waved it to the ground. The dirt turned out because of Maca's digging was immediately gathered by her, and it quickly turned into a strong rope.

After wrapping the two ends of the rope around a nearby tree trunk and her waist, Luna swiftly jumped into the pit.

"Hey!"

Flitwick wanted to stop Luna who was inexplicably reckless, but he didn't expect the opponent to be faster than he expected. Especially he didn't expect that Luna didn't even hesitate at all, and jumped into it at once.

Fortunately, Flitwick's responsiveness is still quite good.

When he was caught off guard, he saw him with two short legs upside down, hurriedly chasing to the edge of the pit, and the wand in his hand quickly threw a silent floating curse.
