In front of the temple in Ravenclaw in Diagon Alley, armed Aurors have replaced their usual patrols to maintain order here.

The Ministry of Magic has announced that a press conference will be held here today, and the Ministry of Magic, the Harris family, and the Ravenclaw Temple will launch a nominally led collaboration project on the timing of the upcoming attack.

The press conference would be broadcast live on Harris TV, so Harris TV staff arrived at the temple early, busy setting up the large camera equipment, and many news media reporters were waiting outside the red line set up by the Aurors, some even compiling their own interviews and preparing questions to ask during the free visit.

In light of the much-talked-about Devil's attack on Hogsmeade in the press, it was clear to everyone that this press conference was the Ministry's response to the incident. Therefore, in addition to the media controlled by the Ministry of Magic itself, those controlled by the native British pure-blood families and even some foreign magical media also came to the scene.

In addition, many wizards who had been oppressed by Harris also came to the scene as if they were organized, ready to find fault, and they expressed their opinions in a strange way at this time, in a vain attempt to steer public opinion in a direction unfavorable to the Ministry of Magic.

These people and the media controlled by the pure-blood family did not criticize the Harris family at all, but as if they were talking about the matter, they held on to the Ministry of Magic on security issues, after all, this matter has nothing to do with any family on the surface, but everyone knows that the Ministry of Magic is now under the control of the Harris family, and attacking the Ministry of Magic is tantamount to attacking the Harris family in disguise.

A wizard who was reading the newspaper criticism seemed to be convinced, he looked up at the armed Aurors, opened his mouth with a pair of big buckteeth to the people around him, and exclaimed: " I didn't expect that the strength of the Ministry of Magic was not as strong as it showed, I saw those Aurors wearing uniform before, and I thought they were more elite than before, but I didn't expect that they could only attack ordinary wizards, and they were helpless in the face of slightly more powerful enemies, this time so many Aurors died, and even the students of Hogwarts almost died because of it. ”

A sleek-looking short-haired blonde witch beside him took the opportunity to come over: "After the devils are gone, the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic have arrived on the scene. Is the Ministry of Magic's emergency response so poor in case of an emergency?

This made some of the wizards around him nod secretly.

"The Aurors of your country are not bad, their abilities are not bad, I came from the Netherlands, and the frequent terrorist attacks and missing people in Europe are even the safest place in the world when the Aurors died in the incident. A foreign photographer with a camera and a spotlight in his hand couldn't help but turn around and join the discussion, "Our Muggle government is in a hurry..."

"But they did slow down on this, and that alarm badge didn't make a big difference... I think the Auror Commander Albert Harris should be held accountable for his malfeasance, this time after the devil was raging, and all the time on the outskirts of Hogsmeade, most likely because of the Commander's timidity and unresponsiveness..."The Bucktooth Wizard looked a little cynical, "Either way, it's a poor command. And the Aurors should have been managed by Rufus Scrimgeur, the head of the Auror Office, this time Albert Harris has proven that he is an incompetent commander, in this case, it is better to return the authority to Rufus Scrimgeur, he is a resolute person, and he is not a stunned young man with many years of experience, most of his energy after joining the work is dedicated to dealing with dark wizards, so he never underestimates the power of the mysterious man. ”

Some of the onlookers seemed convinced by the bucktooth wizard: "It's... If we need help from the Ministry of Magic in the future, will they not be able to arrive in time?"

The short-haired blonde witch pursed her mouth and sneered: "And... So what, they have no way to protect the safety of the people, even the elite Aurors can't do anything when facing the devil, this time it's all thanks to the Hogwarts professors and Ravenclaw schoolgirls themselves... And I've heard that many of the people who work in the Ministry of Magic, even though they are civilians, can't even pronounce a decent Iron Armor Charm... But this is undoubtedly a reflection of the professionalism of these staff, and the Ministry of Magic is not as powerful as it seems..."

The bucktoothed wizard waved his arm vigorously: "Gentlemen and ladies, I hope they don't think about concealing it when they speak for a while, otherwise, we must do our best to express our demands!"

As the rally grew at the foot of the temple's steps, the clergy and loyal believers in the temple who maintained daily affairs and safety rushed out, and at this time, they were already uniformly dressed in the ancient dragon skin robes that Allen had given to the students of Ravenclaw in the ancient magic class, and as the temple opened, an aura that seemed to affect people's hearts emanated from inside, making the crowd of onlookers unconsciously quiet.

And the sound of sonorous footsteps in the distance made the calm scene shocking.

The reporters who had been waiting for the press conference to start immediately became excited, realizing that what was about to happen was probably a more valuable news point, and pointed the camera that was originally aimed at the ordinary wizards outside the stadium in the direction from which the sound came.

Soon, from the corner of the street, a team of armed Aurors in H94 uniforms walked neatly with goose steps, striding forward with their heads held high, which made people feel that the Auror elite was really impassioned and extraordinary, different from the free and casual style that wizards were used to, their steps were uniform, full of oppression, and their heads were slightly raised.

Foreign journalists looked at such an armed force that was close to military force, and their hearts couldn't help but compare with the traditional Aurors in their own country who were still more spy - as time went by, the faces of the people gradually changed more, and the Auror team has been greatly expanded since the reform of the British Ministry of Magic, but today the number of people here is ridiculously large for the small population of the British wizarding world.

"Does the Ministry of Magic have so many armed Aurors now?" The shock of the entire column of Aurors striding in front of them was unusual, but some wizards who knew something about the Aurors found that there were far more than the armed Aurors should have.

"Look at the part in the back, look at the emblems on them, they're not all Aurors!" the attentive wizard noticed the difference, "Behind are the Umbrella Corporation's armed forces?"

Then the giants who can bring people more visual impact appeared, although they are only a few dozen in number, but they also walk neatly, the huge soles of their feet on the ground and the sound of clattering brings a trace of vibration to the surroundings, this kind of discipline that is completely opposite to the knowledge of magical creatures makes the eyes of the wizards present, these bald giants with gems inlaid with gems on their foreheads have knotted muscles and huge fists, showing their strength, in history there are many wizards and even mysterious people who can make giants use for their purposes, but the giants who are not very intelligent are trained to form a phalanx with such a uniform paceIt was almost impossible for them to do - the visual impact of the previous Ministry of Magic War from the TV was completely different from the visual impact of the big guys they saw with their own eyes.

"Hell, what are they doing with so many armed forces?" Marcus Flint, with his big teeth, stared at his bloodshot gray eyes, scratched his messy black hair, and thought that even now, his family business was constantly being investigated by the departments assigned by Owen Harris, and he himself had been reduced from being a theoretical equal to the head of the other family to being forced to do something to stir the flames himself.

The sorcerers with suspicious intentions had unconsciously shut their mouths in this situation, and the pure-blood families behind them were shocked, calculating the power of their own family, and they were stunned to find that although they knew that a certain amount of armed forces had been recruited from foreign wizards behind the umbrella, the number of people they had now revealed was completely different from what they had expected, and it seemed that the purpose of these armed forces held by Harris was not just to maintain their position in the Ministry of Magic and commerce, they had deeper goals。

Annette Bobin doesn't know as much about the specifics as other big-name purebloods, but she also realizes that Harris seems to be far from satisfied, and the cost of maintaining such an armed force is not a small amount, and she shudders when she thinks about this: "They don't just want to suppress... It's not just about wanting to get a few more cakes..."
