Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 113: Malfoy in trouble
"Save your life?" The expression on Matthew's face looked a little confused.
However, if someone who is very familiar with him is here, it is easy to see that his confused expression is obviously a disguise.
Of course, Minister Barnold is definitely not sure.
She said with a serious face: "Generally, such extreme magic items smuggled into England are extremely dangerous. No matter how much protective magic or protective props its owner arranges on its surface, it cannot be eliminated. This kind of danger is terrifying to the wizards in charge of transshipment, especially those wizards who don't understand the danger!"
While speaking, she took out a pocket photo from her jacket pocket.
"This wizard is called Juan Coos, and he worked briefly at Lihen Bookstore in August last year," Minister Barnold introduced.
Matthew frowned slightly, because he recognized the person in the photo. Just a year ago, when he ventured to Lihen Bookstore to inquire about things, the person who rudely drove him out of the bookstore The clerk is the wizard in the photo!
"At the beginning of September, he was expelled by Lihen Bookstore for reasons." Minister Barnold continued to explain: "Then in mid-October, because he contracted a strange disease, he was admitted to St. Mungo Magic Hospital; after only staying in the hospital for three days, he passed away. It is said that his death was extremely horrifying. meat"
"St. Mungo's therapists were unable to give any explanation for his death; and some Aurors who were proficient in extreme magic could easily recognize that he died due to the influence of extreme magic on the mysterious side. After we searched the residence of Mr. Koos, we found nothing related to extreme magic”
"At that time, I was a little suspicious of Lihen Bookstore, but I couldn't find any evidence. After receiving your letter in the morning, I immediately connected this smuggling incident with Koos' death. We are together so now I have to thank you, Mr. Wakefield!"
Minister Barnold's tone was very polite.
"This is what I should do, Minister!" Matthew quickly responded.
His heart did not fluctuate too much.
There was something wrong with the smuggling process this time, and he guessed it when Mr. Shafik found him in the morning.
Matthew is quite aware of the principle that you get what you pay for.
Lucius Malfoy is willing to pay a high price of 3,000 to 5,000 Galleons for the transshipment of the goods, so there is only one possibility for the goods he wants, and only Mr. Shafik knows how to buy them, and the transportation process is extremely dangerous !
And Mr. Shafik is willing to bring himself, a "oil bottle" underage wizard, during the process of transshipment of goods. He must not be doing charity, and must have his own purpose.
So Matthew Wakefield knew a long time ago that if he really foolishly followed Mr. Shafik to deliver goods, he would inevitably face extremely bad risks.
Otherwise, why would Matthew write a letter to report to Minister Barnold.
Mr. Shafik plays "smuggling", so he has nothing to do with Matthew, right?
It's a pity that the minister himself doesn't know who "Tom Gunter" is, and it's not easy for him to find out the source of the contents in that box.
In other words, a thread that was finally found is broken again.
"Minister." Matthew stood up and asked, "I feel that my body has almost recovered. Can I leave the Ministry of Magic? Or do I have to go through some procedures?"
"No need, Mr. Wakefield." Minister Barnold shook his head generously: "You have done a good enough job, just leave the rest to us. Seize it, if you want to go there to pick up your things, I can give you my business card."
"Thank you very much!"
Leaving aside the situation at the Ministry of Magic, the atmosphere at Malfoy Manor has become a little less optimistic.
It was late at night, and Lucius Malfoy looked like an ant on a hot pot, walking non-stop by the fountain in the manor.
Mr. Malfoy is very anxious now, because the house elf he sent out has not yet returned. According to the normal time, it should have returned here a quarter of an hour ago.
"Could it be Dobby the idiot," Malfoy thought to himself.
But he quickly shook his head and dismissed the idea.
Although he looked down on house elves from the bottom of his heart, he had to admit that Dobby the house elf never had any accidents when he was working for him
Or, there was an accident in the plan itself?
At this moment, Mr. Malfoy suddenly became more anxious.
Suddenly, there was a crisp explosion in the air
Then, a short and ugly monster like a bat spirit appeared in front of Lucius Malfoy. It raised its head, and its protruding, tennis-ball-sized eyes timidly looked at him. its master.
"What's the situation?" Mr. Malfoy couldn't wait~IndoMTL.com~ hastily bent down and asked.
"The master ordered Dobby to go to the Lihen Bookstore to be bad for Dobby and bad for Dobby," the house elf stammered while banging his head on the floor frantically.
"Enough!" Malfoy frowned in disgust: "What happened later?"
"Dobby was at the Lihen Bookstore, but he didn't find the wooden box. Dobby thought it hadn't arrived yet, so Dobby waited for another half an hour, and suddenly heard a strange sound. Dobby thought it was Lihen. Mr. Shafik from the bookstore came back, and Dobby was very happy at the time. Dobby found out that it was actually an Auror who broke in. Dobby was frightened and fled back quickly. Bad Dobby Bad Dobby Bad Dobby”
said the house-elf incoherently, punishing himself desperately.
At this moment, Mr. Malfoy's expression suddenly changed.
"Auror went to Lihen Bookstore, it is obvious that Shafiq's behavior has been exposed and he may confess himself at any time!"
Malfoy quickly helped the house elf who was kneeling on the ground: "Dobby, I order you to stop punishing yourself. In the smallest room in the basement of the manor, there is a box with a snake drawn on it. You go now , take that box to Draco's Aunt Bellatrix's"
"Then, go find the lord and tell him that the situation has changed and the goods have been robbed by the Ministry of Magic."
Before Mr. Lucius Malfoy finished speaking, he heard a loud "bang" from the gate of the manor!
Someone is trying to break into Malfoy Manor.
