Chapter 12: The Wrongdoer (1)
Harry Potter is in his thirties.
Generally, Aurors at this age have a tendency to retire, after all, although their functions overlap with those of the police, the Aurors have to deal with definitely not ordinary pickpockets, weirdos who run naked in the parade, or guys who rob with guns for a living, but more dangerous things.
The monsters and aliens that still roam the land - although most of them are just fantasy species of Warcraft, but there are still more terrifying ones, such as the fantasy species generated by the atavistic phenomenon, which will cause a large number of people to lose. Of course, for Warcraft, the rejection of modern civilization is more important, and what can be called an enchantment in a broad sense can keep them away, which is why Warcraft has not yet exposed the truth to ordinary people. Occasionally, the Aurors would be asked to take part in dealing with such monsters that ordinary magic tricks would not be able to handle, which would be quite dangerous for every veteran and could kill them at any time.
Not to mention, the Aurors had more important things to deal with.
Magicians who violate the rules of the Magic Association, are evil, or are harmful to the world of magic.
Many people have the misconception that magicians, who mainly study magic, and magicians, who use magic as tools, confuse magicians. However, the Ministry of Magic (Law and Political Science Division), to which the Aurors belong, is more concerned about maintaining the order of the Magic Association, so people who are Aurors will not become researchers.
Therefore, in the case of dealing with such a dangerous enemy, the Aurors have been replaced very quickly, except for a few strong men who can stay for a few more years, most of them either die in the first battle, or resign voluntarily after a few years of mental pressure. Harry's work for more than a decade is rare in this era, and the students who come out of Hogwarts are more willing to go to the battlefields of the Middle East to hone themselves.
"The Aurors are just consumables. Just a tool of the Magic Society. ”
Knowing that his ambition was to become an Auror, Kingsley Shacklele whispered to Harry in his usual deep and slow voice.
Kingsley had also been an Auror, and as an experienced elder, his advice had helped Harry a lot, but the most memorable thing was still his assessment of the Auror's work.
"Harry, what do you think of the identity of the Aurors? The people of the Order of the Phoenix, who you have been in contact with, are all so righteous? Fighting the black magician and fighting the forces of evil should be cool for a boy of your age. But you don't want to see the wind, you get the rain, the Aurors never fought for justice, after all, can justice and evil really be distinguished by whether they use the Unforgivable Curse or whether they have hurt others? “
"The Aurors' job is to keep the peace. We also use forbidden magic, we also do harm to others, the difference is that we are not for ourselves - but for the sake of protecting others, for the peace of the magical world. The Aurors gave up the possibility of going further, and we will all be without the root for the rest of our lives, but if everyone throws themselves into the devil's path for the sake of their own obsessions, who else will guard the peace? ”
"So, our hands are dirty. Just as the inhibition has a guardian to do it for us, we are the guardians of the Clock Tower, the blade of the Magic Society, hiding in the darkness to protect the peace of the magical world. Don't think you're righteous, that's a child's trick, and there is no difference between the Aurors and Voldemort when it comes to whether they kill or not. I remember that you should know Mr. Barty Crouch, then you should know that in the darkest 70s of the entire magic world, the Aurors were more ruthless than the black magicians. ”
"If you really want to be an Auror, Harry, I can only advise you - when you think about peace and justice, it's time for you to retire."
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Good morning, Dad." "Good morning, Dad." "Hey, Dad, you can't imagine what kind of dream I had last night!"
When Harry walked into his kitchen, he was greeted by his three adorable children.
"Good morning, did you sleep well yesterday? Ah, Albus, watch out for your milk, Lily, and your hair later, and Jaime. ”
Harry walked over to his eldest son and rubbed his hair vigorously.
"Don't shout at dinner, your younger siblings are eating."
"Hey,"
James Sirius Potter stuck out his tongue, but sat down obediently.
Harry looked around the kitchen, where Ginny was busy with breakfast in front of the pot, she had always gotten up earlier than Harry, and it was not difficult to tell from the delicious smell that lingered in the kitchen that it must have been as rich as usual.
However, Harry was not in the best mood he used to be.
While eating, Harry habitually opened the Daily Prophet while pulling up his breakfast, and when he opened the front page, his brow furrowed uncontrollably.
"Rita Skeeter, that woman is writing like this again? I knew that once Lynn came back, this woman who only thought about gossip would definitely scream, but I didn't expect it to be like this......"
More than two months ago, when Lynn was leaving London, the woman had written a "Thing About the Heretic Magician" to denigrate Lynn - well, Harry knew that his younger brother had such and such faults, but the more he had seen it, the more Harry realized that Lynn was actually a good person - and now, it became even more sarcastic.
[The weirdo we all hate is back!] 】
[Dirty! Dirty thieves! Potato head wrapped in bandages! 】
[A demon who almost exposed the secrets of the magic world! ] The guy who should be burned at the stake! 】
The whole article is full of words like this, and Harry especially notices that Rita is more describing Lynn's actions in Winterwood City, and is alarmist to the public, saying that Lynn's enchantment is likely to expose the world of magic completely.
But the truth of the matter, and the outcome of Lynn's actions, Harry had already heard in the courtroom. At first, Harry was a little dissatisfied with Lynn's behavior, but after hearing the second's evaluation of Lynn's behavior, Harry realized that he had wrongly blamed the junior.
It turned out that he did nothing wrong.
Furthermore, without considering it from the perspective of the magician's secrets, the barrier that Lynn unfolded - the truth that Harry knew was that it was actually Lynn's maid who unfolded it on his behalf - greatly weakened the influence of the monsters that appeared in Winterwood City at that time, except for a forest belonging to the magic family that was irreparably damaged, and only repaired the depleted leylines of the town at the end.
Number of casualties, 0.
This achievement alone was enough to acquit Lynn, but those in power forcibly ignored this in order to get more benefits from Lynn.
No, it's not. Harry shook his head. I was thinking wrong just now, and the reason why those people in the seats at that time ignored this was because of the nature of magicians. The orthodox idea of a magician is that everything except himself (the continuation of the family) is a prop that can be used, as long as it is to reach the peak of the family's mission (crown designation), for the survival of the family (magic seal), they don't care how many people die.
It's just that Lynn's behavior (protecting the residents of Fuyuki City) is likely to hurt herself, so she shows that ugliness......
"It's ugly." Harry muttered.
"What did you say, dear?" Ginny leaned in, and when she saw the headline of the daily newspaper, her face turned unpleasant.
"Is it this kind of news again, it looks like the Daily Prophet will return to the way it was before sooner or later."
Ginny was talking about Harry's time as a student, when the newspapers were completely controlled by the Magic family, manipulating public opinion to build a hype for themselves or cover up scandals. The news of the former Dark Lord was suppressed at the hands of those magic families with ulterior motives. And it was precisely because Harry and Ginny had accepted this darkness that they wanted to be on the side of justice.
[Justice]......
“…… When you think about peace and justice, it's time for you to retire......" Kingsley's slow, heavy tone still lingered in his ears.
"What's the matter, dear, are you feeling a little unwell today."
As if to see Harry's hesitation, Ginny pressed her forehead to her forehead with a caring expression on her face.
"No, nothing, just a little doubt......"
After a moment's hesitation, Harry stood up and said to his wife and children, who looked at him in surprise, "I'm going to work." ”
Then, Fei seemed to flee from home.
"Justice...... How I remembered that kid's trick. Harry couldn't help but laugh at his actions as he walked down the street, looking like he was getting old. Slapping his face so that his face didn't look too weird, Harry looked around and saw that there was no one before he secretly put his hand on the wand in his pocket.
"Crackle."
A shrill sound rang out, and Harry vanished in place.

PS: Quick Knowledge: One thing is very interesting, the seventies of the twentieth century was a turning point in the month, and the foundation of modern magic [Chaos Magic] was formed in the seventies; In the FE world line, because of the collapse, the ancient magician family accepted the end of magic - they re-set a new magic, that is, the Lingzi technology in FE and CCC, and the stories of these two works were unfolded. As for "Harry Potter", the 70s were the heyday of the Death Eaters, and Harry's birth in 1980 put an end to that. It's a pity that "Hellsong" is difficult to get to the 70s out of the three works that involve this part of the UK...... Well, I can't get anything else to look at other than that Intergula was born in 1979 (in fact, I'm silently sorting out the information where you can't see it!). I didn't have to be lazy at will! So, it's rare to ask for a recommendation)
