Chapter 627: Status (Ask for Subscriptions, Ask for Collections, Ask for Tickets)
On the afternoon after the call with Dumbledore, a young wizard appeared on the island outside of Azkaban. After taking the boat to the door and checking the password, he brought Ryan the supplies he needed.
"John, what's going on out there?" Albert asked, recognizing a young Auror who had a relationship with him because he was also a hemp wizard.
"It sucks. The young Auror shook his head. "It's chaos out there right now, and there are skirmishes in many places. The only thing that is certain is in our hands, and apart from Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, you're the only one left. As I set out from Hogwarts, I saw that Dumbledore had ordered some of the empty classrooms in Hogwarts Castle to be vacated for those who had fled empty-handed. ”
After saying that, he walked up to Ryan and handed him a bag around his waist, "You are Ryan, I think you should be the only Asian here." Headmaster Dumbledore asked me to tell you that because of the chaos right now, there are a lot of people needed. He can't send anyone to help you. Hopefully, you can take the people here to secure control of Azkaban Castle and protect the northern part of Hogwarts Castle. ”
"I'll do my best to hold on here. Ryan took the bag and nodded, and the young Auror left with a nod after registering the addresses of the loved ones present.
As he had previously stated, Headmaster Dumbledore was to try his best to protect every innocent person from harm, especially the families of those who were on the front lines. That's why there aren't enough people on the side: a lot of people are sent out to protect the families of the fighters and try to get them to safety.
That night, the defenders of Azkaban could barely sleep. On the top floor of the castle, Ryan and Hermione walked around the rooftops under the guise of patrolling.
"How are the prisoners downstairs?" asked Ryan.
"All the prisoners don't have wands, so it's not a big problem right now. Hermione said. "The petty offenders, especially those who were wrongly arrested, were very cooperative with us. We have also promised to increase their material treatment and to re-try them soon. Now I'm worried about the felons, the influence of the Dementors will slowly decrease after they disappear, and I'm worried that the felons will cause us problems then. ”
"Don't worry, maybe it's because I really can't spare people recently, and the materials that Headmaster Dumbledore gave before as compensation are very complete, and even a lot of magic materials are a lot more. I can prepare some magic circles to make sure the scum is in a weak state all the time. ”
For the rest of the night, Ryan directly took out an alchemy table and began to make a magic circle for felons. After the last time he studied in Silvermoon City, he had a lot more magic options than he had in the past.
Soon, a magic circle was designed that combined stunning, suppression, despair, fatigue touch, and weak energy, and the powerful negative energy that enveloped the entire castle became the best energy supply for this magic circle, which also successfully suppressed the regeneration of the Dementors.
The whole night had been spent in Ryan's constant production of various arrays and the subsequent installation of them in the felony ward, and by the time the sun rose, everything was completely ready.
At the first rays of the new day, Ryan activated this magic array. All the light in the felon cell on the top floor of the castle seemed to dim for a moment and then return to its original state.
"The magic worked. Hermione stood in the hall of the felon's cell and looked out at the cells on either side of the corridor, and she felt a faint aura of death rise in each cell because of her sensitivity to the power of death.
"Yes, I can guarantee that the felons who stay here under the influence of these magic will feel exactly the same as they did when they were guarded by Dementors in the past. Ryan stretched at this. "We can go and get some rest, and we haven't closed our eyes all night. ”
I slept until the afternoon, and when I woke up and was about to go for a bite to eat, I saw most of the people listening to the radio in front of the lounge with serious faces, and a hoarse voice came from the radio that I had never heard before.
"—By order of the new Minister of Magic, Pierce Hinkenis, the 'Muggle Origin Register' will be conducted today to investigate the so-called 'Muggle Origins' in order to find out how they possess magical secrets. Recent research by the Department of Mysteries shows that magic can only be inherited through the fertility of wizards. Thus, without verifying the wizarding ancestry, it is possible that a person of so-called Muggle origin had acquired magical abilities through theft or violence. ”
"The Ministry of Magic is determined to eradicate these misappropriations of magical abilities, and to that end invites every so-called Muggle-born person to the newly appointed Muggle-Origin Registration Committee. At the same time, the Muggle Birth Registration Board was empowered to take all actions, including the use of deadly spells, to ensure that the policy was enforced. ”
"Okay, that's all for today's broadcast. Let's remember that magic is might. ”
With a snap, the knob of the radio was turned off. Ryan asked, looking at everyone with ugly expressions. "Any news?"
"A whole lot of bad news. Henry turned his chair and said, "In addition to the decree just now, now Headmaster Dumbledore and Burns, the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, are both wanted. ”
"What?" Hermione's eyes widened in disbelief. "Why is that, and have they committed any crime?"
"Just now, the new Minister of Magic, Hinkenes, claimed that Scrimgeour was killed because Lady Bones murdered him at the behest of Dumbledore. In addition to Ms. Bones, her accomplices were Arthur Weasley and Percy Weasley. They were called the usurper clique on the radio. ”
"Shameless!" Ryan said angrily. "Actually using such crude means to plant falsehoods, will anyone believe their lies?"
"At least no one here believes this, because Dumbledore wants the position of Minister of Magic, all he has to do is stand up and say it. Henry said. "Although at that time, under the operation of a large number of Death Eaters planted by the mysterious people, the Ministry of Magic fell very quickly. But yesterday's many firefights, coupled with today's 180-degree change in the Ministry of Magic's policy, made it easy for everyone to guess that all of this was directed by a mysterious person from behind. ”
"But the problem is that there are places that some Death Eaters' paws can't reach. Others just said it in private, not daring to communicate with each other, not knowing who could believe it. Albert continued, "When I was younger, I lived through the last reign of the Mysteries, and that was the way it was. Everyone is afraid to speak their minds, they know what the reality is. But he was afraid to say it, and when he came home at night, he saw the black mark hanging from the roof of his house. ”
"So, the mystery man is still very cunning. "Knowing that he had a bad reputation and that announcing a usurpation might provoke public revolt, he hid behind the scenes and created confusion, suspicion, and fear." ”
"So what do we do now?" Albert asked, it was because of the dark moments he had experienced before that that he seemed a little godless now, and the others were similar, looking at Ryan with a hopeful gaze when Albert asked Ryan.
"We'll stay here now until a replacement comes. Ryan comforted everyone. "I don't think it's possible for the Mystic to give up their suppression of the Ministry of Magic while Headmaster Dumbledore is still here. And with the castle's own magical defense system, I don't believe the Death Eaters alone could get in. ”
"Besides, since Headmaster Dumbledore has promised, then you will definitely be able to protect your family, so you don't need to worry too much about this. ”
