Chapter 11: Disappearing Cabinet

"The news is very chaotic now, I haven't gotten any useful news from Diagon Alley, Diagon Alley is full of Aurors, and in that place at Gringotts, there is a powerful demonic formation that seals it, and I can't get close to it at all. But some wizards escaped from Tumbledown Alley, and the Borgin Burke store was looted, and a dozen wizards attacked the store, and the whole store was blown up, and when I went to see it, Lucius Malfoy was there. The flame has not been extinguished yet. ”

Barty Jr. told all the news he got in one go, and it seems that Wizarding Britain is not in a little trouble. London is not only the center of Muggle Britain, but also the center of Wizarding Britain. Diagon Alley, as the only remaining gathering point dedicated to wizards, is one of the famous symbols of the entire wizarding world.

Gringotts is the bank of wizarding England, and it seems to be the only bank at present, this bank not only functions as a general commercial bank deposit, but also shoulders the important role of the country's central bank, which can be said to be a potential official organ of the Ministry of Magic.

If it is robbed, many wizards' property will suffer great losses. You know, saving at Gringotts is for safety. If even Gringotts can't guarantee safety, the entire credibility of the Ministry of Magic will be greatly questioned.

It's like before the Tower of London was turned into a lake of fire by Shea'an using war magic, and it was one of London's most famous attractions. Many wizards and Muggles like to go there and experience the eerie and oppressive feel of the old castle. But now that lake of fire has become the last place the Ministry of Magic wants to mention, because it has become a pillar of shame for the Ministry of Magic, and until now, the Ministry of Magic has not found out who has such powerful magic and completely destroyed the Tower of London.

"Why is a store robbed? Is there anything important there?" Xie An has no impression of Boirgin and Burkes, although he has heard about Tumbledown Alley before, but he spends most of his time running errands in other places, rarely going to Tumbledown Alley, not even Diagon Alley, and really has no deep impression of this store.

This store is actually an industry that the Malfoy family secretly operates, helping the Malfoy family to make some shady transactions. Most of these shops in Tumbledown Alley have a deep background, and the wizards think that Diagon Alley is much brighter and more righteous than Tumbledown Alley, but in fact it is just an illusion. It's just because the Ministry of Magic is more strict with Diagon Alley, and it turns a blind eye to Tumbledown Alley.

The store was an important place for Voldemort. His mother, the eldest daughter of the House of Gaunt, had sold Salazar Slytherin's pendant to the shopkeeper for a few pitiful nats. Voldemort later worked as a clerk in this store, in order to find the trajectory of his life.

"I can't say that. This shop also sells some prohibited items. It's all gray area stuff, like Glorious Hands, Fairy Tears, Unicorn Horns, Cheap Dragon's Blood. Although these things are expensive, and some of them are against the law, the Ministry of Magic generally allows these gray areas. Didn't hear anything special there. ”

Little Barty didn't know what was being robbed, and it was normal. He was unfamiliar with the grocery store, and although he knew some about its background, he didn't know anything about what it was selling or what treasures it was.

"Is there any news about the identity of the wizard who robbed?" Xie An asked after a moment's thought.

"That's a bit of a strange thing. I've heard from some eyewitnesses that the looters seem to have something to do with the wizards who attacked Hogwarts. They were all dressed in black wizard robes. I went to the Blotted bookstore to inquire, and the bookstore clerk's description was exactly the same as what I saw the black-robed wizard wearing. I guess it's supposed to be a bunch of people. Barty Jr. wanted to inquire at the Leaky Cauldron Bar, who knew that there were more Aurors and spies in the bar than wizards who had come to drink. Those guys who are dressed mysteriously and hide their heads and tails are here to find out the news at first glance.

Unable to get news from the bar, Barty Jr. turned to other channels. Fortunately, during this time, he had time to transform through compound potions, but he really found a few acquaintances.

When Xie An heard Little Barty's words, he became even more puzzled. According to Elder Dora's speculation, the attack on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was most likely the Wizarding Army. Then the thug who attacked the grocery store in Tumbledown Alley is most likely the Wizard Army. What exactly did the wizarding army want? The black-robed wizard who appeared to be the leader explained it clearly: they were looking for something.

Under the circumstances, there was no need for the black-robed wizard to lie. Voldemort, the Raincaller, and the unfathomable Black-robed Wizard, the three of them were enough to kill all the Professors and Elven Elven Elders. Is it because these people didn't kill because they were afraid of Gellert Grindelwald's opinion?

At this time, Xie An thought of the situation not what kind of situation Gellert Grindelwald was, but the force represented by the Rain Summoner. You must know that Mordred's whereabouts are unknown at this time, he is definitely from the era of the Le Fay Witch, and although this rain caller does not explicitly claim himself, from Xie An, he is from the future dimension. I just don't know if other wizards, such as Gellert Grindelwald or Albus Duncando, know about these two wizards from other dimensions.

If Gellert Grindelwald didn't know where the Rain Caller came from, and the Rain Caller was only using the power of the wizarding army to prepare for his own purposes, then the situation wasn't too bad. However, Gellert Grindelwald would have been much worse if he had known the origin of the Raincaller and had agreed to the Raincaller to join the team.

I couldn't tell the situation for a while. Xie An thought for a while and said, "The situation is very mysterious during this time, and I can't tell what happened for the time being. The only thing that is certain is that we must be organized. Xia Nai and Charlie are still in the Far East for the time being, and there is no way to come back for a while, I think the team will be controlled by you for the time being, get ready, I have a very bad premonition. ”

Xie An and Earl Li have some of their own forces, both of which are composed of some retired Aurors, and these wizards have accepted the employment of the Li family, which can be regarded as the existence of a kind of mercenary group. Among them are Aurors Shanai, Charlie, and some previous Aurors, which can be regarded as a force secretly cultivated by the Li family.

At this time, on the East China Sea of the Far East, the warriors of the Championship and the Aurors who came to explore the way were still struggling in the environment, and as time passed, casualties began to appear. Xanai and Charlie, as Aurors, are in the same environment as Victor Krum at this time, and the situation is not optimistic. And the other team with Cedric Diggory was also in great trouble at this time.

The Ministry of Magic was aware of the anomaly, and the instructors of the other five schools had left Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and were on their way to the volcanic island. The remains of the founding demigods of the Suzaku School of Magic and Wizardry have become more complicated with the addition of students from the Fuso Magic Mountain School. The shrine maiden who controls the mysterious power, the power that controls the puppet and the Shikigami Ishiba, and the wizard power Abe, several small teams have now entered the ruins and are hurrying to follow the warriors.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try for now. "Barty Jr. should still be a wanted criminal for the Ministry of Magic, but with the wounds of the world completely out of control, all the prisoners there are theoretically executed. It was also for this reason that Barty Sr. acquiesced in the fact that Barty Jr. could use the Polyjuice decoction to move outside.

The Ministry of Magic's control over the entire wizarding world has now been greatly weakened. The use of Azkaban to ambush the Death Eaters did not work as well as it should, but the trap of the World Cup dealt a heavy blow to the Death Eaters.

At this time, he had a close relationship with the Lee family, mainly the Longbottom family and the Crouch family. After being healed by Queen Anne with powerful spiritual magic, the Longbottoms have been traveling around the European continent, but some time ago, the power of the wizarding army has risen greatly, and I heard that they have returned to wizarding Britain. It's just that Xie An didn't let them appear in public for the time being.

Neville Longbottom admires Xie An very much now, when he was at school, when he saw Xie An, he always greeted Xie An very respectfully, which made Xie An, who hated trouble, a little embarrassed.

The Longbottoms are now also important members of the Lee family. Barty's family is because Shea Ann snatched out the Soul Stone that held Mrs. Crouch's soul from the cracks in Azkaban. Barty Jr. didn't think that Shay An had such strength at the time, but with the help of Queen Anne's galaxy magic, Xie An still managed to get the soul gem from Azkaban.

At this time, Mrs. Crouch's soul was in the soul stone that Barty Jr. carried with him, and Xie An also promised that he would have the opportunity to help Mrs. Crouch cast soul transfer magic so that she could be reborn.

Both families are among the oldest families in the wizarding world. The Longbottom family's prestige in the wizarding world is not below that of the Potter family, and if it weren't for the Longbottoms' madness, maybe the Longbottom family would have become a significant force in the Wizengamot now. Now the Longbottom family can only represent a small force.

Barty Crouch Sr. is a powerful figure who has the power to become a minister, and the power of the Crouch family can be seen in this country that does not care about birth on the surface, but in fact shows the superiority of the nobility everywhere.

Another potential ally is the Purity Family, the Black Family. Bellatrix Black, the notorious Death Eater maniac, was greatly hurt like Barty Crouch Jr.

Voldemort abandoned his plaything and planted a deadly magic pattern formation in Bella's body, using Bella's life force to nourish Nagini to ensure that the great snake would not die within more than ten years ------ the life of the snake.

Bellatrix Lestrange was supposed to be one of Azkaban's many moldy corpses. First due to Halle Black's request for Gellert Grindelwald. The European Dark Lord and Albus Dundedo made a secret agreement to rescue Bella from Azkaban.

Albus Dumbledore agreed to rescue Bella, but he didn't want to reduce the punishment for the mad Death Eater. He deprived Bella of all his wizarding memories, completely destroyed Bella's wizarding abilities, and left this mad wizard pitifully rotten in the terrible erosion of time. Without Shea's help, Bellatrix Black Lestrange could have died within a year without Shea's help.

Halle Black is very grateful to Shay. But Bella's attitude towards the Li family is much less clear. Although this Death Eater, like Barty Jr., woke up to the fact that he no longer had illusions about Voldemort, and he did not turn to gratitude to the Lee family. At the moment, it seems that Bella just wants to stay quietly in the tidal abbey in England.

Sirius had a relationship with Shea, but it didn't seem pleasant. Xie An has a lot of opinions about Sirius's weakness, and Sirius is also very jealous of Xie An. The Black family, in general, is the only one who can be counted on is Halle Black. Fortunately, Halle Black is not weak.

After thinking about the current situation, Xie An said: "The grudge between you and the Longbottom family is fortunately, there is no big problem. You were a Death Eater at the time, and they were members of the so-called Order of the Phoenix. And it was mainly Bellatrix Lestrange who tortured their parents to madness in the first place. Speaking of this, Xie An looked at Little Barty, who had a gloomy face, and a trace of remorse flashed through his eyes.

"I'm not asking you to reconcile completely. We're all adults. But I want you to at least not attack each other, okay?" Xie An continued.

"Andrew, I see what you mean. Barty Jr. thought for a moment and then said, "I had my share in torturing the two of them in the first place. During this time, after I woke up, I remembered the previous events, and I felt very uncomfortable. I'll find a way to get their forgiveness. ”

Xie An looked at Little Barty for a while, sighed, and said, "There are so many things, after we do it, it will only bring us endless regrets." Fortunately, we still have time and a chance. I've never told you what I'm doing now. Actually, like you, I just hope that I will not have regrets in the future. ”

Looking at Xie An's still somewhat naΓ―ve young face, his eyes were extremely clear, and his confusion turned into firmness, and the two looked at each other, and they both saw in each other's eyes the determination for the future: don't leave regrets.

A gray owl flew in through the window of the screaming shack, circled around the house for a while, dropped a letter, and flew away on its own.

"It's a public owl, who would send us a letter with a public owl?" The Screaming Shack is a secret stronghold of Xie An, protected by an unmarkable spell, and ordinary owls can't reach it at all, and this kind of public owl shouldn't be found.

"It's a letter from my father. Xie An pulled out the parchment from the envelope, on the surface it looked like an advertisement for magic hair growth lotion, Xie An clicked with his wand poplar wand, "Aparecium!" After the parchment tested the magic of the wand, it really changed, and soon it changed, and the content of the letter was completely reorganized.

"Disappearing Cabinet! What was stolen from Borgin Burke's store is actually a Disappearing Cabinet?" Xie An looked at little Barty with some strange eyes after reading the letter at a glance.
