Chapter 32: Magic is Power

It was cloudy, the weather in London was more abnormal than ever, there were no stars, no moon, and even the billboards, which usually seemed to be bright and noisy, seemed to flicker weakly. A black girl cursing aimlessly circles the labyrinthine streets of Old London.

Of course, ordinary wizards will find it strange, but if you know the inside story, you will understand what this witch is looking for. Suddenly, she stopped, staring at a faintly visible sign of strange graffiti on the mottled wall by the side of the road: the Muggle appeared to be a strange bird clutching a strange branch, which was actually a long-horned owl clutching an elderberry wand, and exclaimed in surprise, "I finally found it, it turned out to be here." ”

The black girl quietly took out her wand, pointed the fluorescent glow from the wand at the wall, illuminated the blood-red letters MAGIC IS MIGHT, and looked carefully, suddenly the corner darkness sounded the curse of the awakened homeless man, the girl hurriedly extinguished the fluorescent spell, turned around and ran, until she passed through seven or eight streets, and turned into a dark alley next to the road.

"We are members of the Wizard Self-Defense Organization, but we are by no means thugs. Along the way, Catherine tried to convince herself that what she was doing now was not something unseemly, and that joining this wizarding organization was also to protect herself and her family, and now the situation in Wizarding Britain was very bad, with all kinds of terrorist attacks emerging one after another, and if she couldn't protect herself, the wizards couldn't survive.

The girl burrowed into the alley. Looking at the eerie dripping narrow road ahead, the darkness in front of him seemed to be about to face the future, and he tried to clench his wand and try to make himself braver. He took a deep breath and threw himself into the darkness.

"This should be it. The girl stopped at the back door of an old building. I saw a faint fluorescent sign hanging from the door. The name is no longer recognizable because of the power outage and the old relationship, but judging from the rough leather iron door, this place should have been a bar.

'Bang bang bang...' knocked on the door six times in quick succession with his wand, and five more times after two or three seconds. "Who?" After a moment's wait, there was an urn sound from inside the door.

"An ally from Scotland. Catherine replied in a low voice.

"Ally, you've missed the time to meet, don't you know that this afternoon is the final time to meet?" said the voice in the door.

"There was a little trouble on the way, so it was delayed. I've worked hard. ”

"Hmph, okay, hand me your wand, I need to check it. The door opened with a small crack, revealing the face of a middle-aged Caucasian man from the back.

"It's a very unfriendly request for 'siblings'. Catherine replied in a bad tone, but still handed her wand over.

Ten seconds later, the iron door opened with a bang, and a man who was more than two meters tall and weighed three hundred pounds, with a thick beard on his fleshy face, wearing a greasy gray plush coat, and his neck and arms were covered with tattoos, and a fierce looking man poked his head out.

"Next time you are on time, know that any accident can lead to death. He asked expressionlessly.

"Anything can happen in these crazy years," Catherine frowned and tilted her head to the side, "no one can guarantee punctuality, can they?"

"Hmph. The tall man pursed his lips with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, but he still opened the door completely, returned his wand to Catherine, and said, "Come in." ”

Inside the iron door is indeed a large-scale bar, the wooden bar with a length of more than ten meters is clearly visible, but the wine in the wine cabinet is in a mess, and a row of high chairs in front of the bar has also been moved away and placed randomly throughout the room.

Under the dim red light, dozens of young men and women of different skin tones sat on high chairs while passing simple 'hookahs' made of four or five large Coke bottles, and looked excitedly at the two men in the middle of the bar, whose faces were covered with blood and looked frightened and desperate, wearing blood-stained wizard robes.

"Okay, okay, lo and behold, no one will come to save you, only you can save yourself, quick, hurry, continue the wizard duel, and the one who wins can leave. A short-haired young man took a long puff of tobacco in satisfaction, excitedly crossed the hookah to his naked female companion sitting on his lap, and suddenly roared.

As he howled loudly, a hysterical shout rang out from the smoky abandoned bar, "You two bastards working for the Ministry of Magic can only survive one of them, don't fight quickly, hahaha..."

"Do it, hurry up and continue to use the Divine Blade, or directly use the Avada Death Spell, don't you usually hate this unforgivable spell the most? If you don't use the Avada Life Charm again, you won't even have a fifty percent chance of survival..."

"Shoot at your colleague's neck, so that his blood can spurt out three or four meters high, mustache, cut off your colleague's neck and you can go home and eat steak tonight, hehehe, think about your family, they are waiting for you to come home..."

Tempted by such horror, the two men in the center of the bar screamed in horror and waved their wands.

"Merlin, they, what are they doing?" Catherine, who was standing by the iron gate, exclaimed with a pale face as she looked at the two people who were frantically attacking with magic.

"Don't be silent, little girl. The strong man warned Catherine excitedly. Catherine quickly wanted to run away, she wanted to turn around.

Before she could make any moves, the big man who opened the door said suspiciously: "These two guys are mongrels who work for the Ministry of Magic, and they are specifically aimed at the pursuers of us people, usually they are high-ranking masters, and today we finally caught two alive." Arrest them and kill each other, even if it is a warning to those who work for the Ministry of Magic to persecute us free voters to be careful, that betraying their own people will not end well. Why, little girl, don't you have this kind of 'entertainment' there?"

"We had just repelled the Death Eaters' assault there, and the whole village was under curfew, and we didn't have the opportunity to do this kind of 'entertainment'. Catherine took another half step back, quietly clenching her wand behind her back.

After staring at each other for a few seconds in the dim red light that seemed to be filled with diluted blood, the big man seemed to find some vague shadow in Catherine's unflinching gaze, smiled hideously and said nothing, and walked towards the two men in the center of the room who were already bloodied and unable to cast any more spells.

When he walked into the crowd, suddenly the slightly thin one of the two raised his wrist violently, and in the blink of an eye, a strong red light shot out of his wand, directly hitting the chest of the other wizard, and the body of the wizard who was under the spell spasmed and twisted for a few seconds, and soon fell down and never moved again.

After bursting out of all his potential in a desperate situation, and finally killing his colleague who he was with day and night, the wizard became in a trance, and muttered in an extremely dry voice: "I won, I won, I killed Robin, I won, I killed Robin, I can go home, I won." You, you're going to let me go, you're going to let me go, I'm going home, Anne and Brooke are still waiting for me..."

"Of course we'll keep our promises, rest assured man, you've won, killed your colleagues and friends, and can go home. With a murderous smile, the big man lifted the invisible transparent barrier, grabbed the man's shoulders and lifted him, and announced loudly: "This gentleman has won the duel of his life and won the opportunity to go home, let us cheer for him!"

"Hooray, hooray, hooray...", watching this burlesque, the young men and women in the room jumped off the high chairs and shouted in unison with joy.

In the cheers, deep down in his heart, he didn't really believe that killing his friends would be let go by this group of gangsters who were more brutal than the Death Eaters, but the man who fought to the death for the slim chance of survival gradually believed that he could really get out of this hell.

"Thank you, thank you for letting me go, sir, I, I will never tell you about today, I, I myself killed people with an unforgivable spell, didn't I, I never..."

"yes, then I have to thank you a lot. But it doesn't matter, anyway, the Ministry of Magic doesn't have much ability to care about us anymore, you see that even you, the high-ranking employees who are usually high-ranking employees, have not been abandoned by the Ministry of Magic," the strong man patted the man's shoulder, made a hideous grimace at his companions around him, and after causing a burst of laughter, he said loudly: "Let's go, I'll send you out, do you need me to help you clean it up with magic?"

"No, no, I can, I can, thank you, sir, thank you," the man said as his breathing became shorter.

"In that case, let's go. The strong man shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the iron gate with the man in the suit.

The closer he got to the iron door, the heavier the man's breathing became, and when the big man stretched out his hand to the doorknob, the surprised and relaxed expression on his face was already extremely intense, but he didn't expect that the strong man had already taken the doorknob and didn't move, a strong green light came out from under his armpit, and the other hand had quietly taken out his wand and launched a deadly attack.

There seemed to be an invisible wind passing through the air, and the man slowly fell down with an extremely relaxed expression, his surprised eyes had not had time to change, and life had left this body.

"You, you're crazy, why did you kill him?..." Catherine shouted in shock as she saw the poor wizard being killed by the Avada Curse.

"I love to see you high-ranking old men fall from surprise to hell, so I lied to him, haha...."The big man laughed wildly, and immediately attracted applause from the audience.

————————————————————

Clusters of black dots were like open eyes, and soon covered the entire paper. After constantly dissolving and devouring each other, a strange totemic black eye finally appeared on the paper, and the one-eyed first glanced at Andrew, and then began to emit strange light, and soon a three-dimensional image appeared on the paper.

Lupin and Blake appeared in the Forbidden Forest, and Crookhill helped them restrain the Beater, allowing them to enter Hogwarts through this entrance without being noticed.

"Blake, do you think Peter will stay in the dormitory?" asked Lupin, frowning. Lupin was also part of Andrew's plan, and he was also invited at this time. When he arrived at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he met Sirius Black in Hogsmeade. To be precise, it was Blake who found him. After Blake revealed the truth, although there was no evidence, Lupin decided to believe him for a while. It was for this reason that he did not report the incident to Dumbledore.

"Probably not. Which corner should the rat be hiding in now? It was easy for him to guess that we would be hiding in the Screaming Shack, and he knew the secret passage to enter Hogwarts. So not only did he not dare to hide in his dormitory, but he also didn't dare to go to Hogsmeade with that Weasley boy. Sirius Black replied. He had a wand in his hand, his eyes swept around, guarding against a possible attack.

"Even if it's not there, you always have to give it a try, anyway, the password is in hand, and it will be invalid when it expires. Lupin also drew his wand and watched vigilantly.

"Good morning, both!" a voice came overhead. The two of them were startled, and when they looked up, they descended from the sky in the form of wizards, twisting and turning into a teenager. "Good day, Professor Lupin and Mr. Black. ”

"Andrew Lee?!" Sirius was taken aback, "why are you here?"

"Of course, I was waiting for the two of them to come. Andrew bowed slightly, full of aristocratic demeanor, and Lupin pursed his lips secretly.

"Tracking Charm?" Blake's face was unusually ugly. His first reaction was that he was silently under the tracking spell by the other party, and he hurriedly checked himself, but found that there was nothing unusual.

"No, no, no, you are my elder, how could I use such a method. Andrew shook his head. "Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you and Professor Lupin for your great help. ”

"Mighty help?" Lupin was also confused. Lupin didn't know much about Andrew Lee, a name he hadn't even heard of until he contacted him. At this time, Sirius called out Andrew Lee's name, and he was still amazed at the young man's youth.

"Looks like you're looking forward to it, Professor. Andrew waved his hand, "I got the method from the Marauder's map, but I improved it a little bit to make it more flexible and convenient!"

Xie An waved his wand slightly, and in the void, three-dimensional light and shadow were quickly projected. This is not a meaningless show-off, but to make Sirius and Lupin understand that they are now facing not a child, but a powerful and mysterious wizard.

"You've revamped the Living Point Map!" Blake and Lupin both looked surprised, "It's unexpected." "You know, the Living Point Map is one of the most proud works of the four people, and now a wizard who seems to be only about the second grade can easily upgrade Huo It, which can no longer be described as a genius.

"Ah, it's just a small change. Originally, your map can only show locations, but I can project an image by connecting the enchantment. Andrew smiled casually, "Don't talk about that, I'm here to tell you that Headmaster Albus Dumbledore is at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, so you should be careful." ”

"Dundon Dry!" Lupin frowned, he had always been respected by Principal Albus, and if it weren't for the principal's attitude, Lupin would definitely do his best to fight for his friend. Over the years, Lupin had wondered why Dumbledore had allowed the Ministry of Magic to arrest Sirius without trial.

"Please don't be in a hurry, Professor Lupin. After a while, you will have ample opportunity to clear Sirius' name. "Andrew is not in a hurry and his plans are going well.

"What do you want to do?" Lupin was very vigilant. To be precise, he was very puzzled by Andrew's actions, and naturally he would not think that the other party was noble and wanted to bring light and justice to the world.

"What I want to do, that's what you two want to do. Isn't that what we should do to expose the truth of the matter and clear the name of Senior Blake?" Andrew took a few steps back and approached the tree behind him. "Until President Albus Dunledore makes a clear statement, I think it's better to wait a bit, it's only a matter of a few days anyway. ”

He leaped to his feet, turned into a cloud of gray smoke, and quickly disappeared.

"What is going on, Blake?" asked Lupin, turning his head.

"What else can I do? Although this Andrew seems to be just a child, I have a gut feeling that he is not that simple. If he hadn't been under the Imperius Curse, or had been taken away by someone, then the situation would have been terrible! Blake shrugged and disappeared into the secret passage first.
