Chapter 481: Filth in the Shadows

"The Death Eaters are back! The mark of the Dark Devil hanging overhead, the serpent of sin hidden in the shadows! ”

"Dark Mark of the Dark! Is the mystery man coming back......"

"Quickly subsided! Minister Fudge leads the Ministries of Magic in a fight against the Death Eaters! ”

"Heavy losses! Is Cornelius Fudge to blame for the massive casualties! ”

"Four Death Eaters were caught, what are their real identities?"

……

A middle-aged wizard with a long face sat in the cafΓ©, leaning back in a chair, looking at the newspaper in his hand with his legs crossed.

His expression was calm, and at first glance he did not look angry. And if you look closely at his eyes, you can see a little satisfaction in those eyes.

Sitting across from him was a middle-aged wizard in a gray robe, with hair like a mess of grass and a resolute face, taking a sip of coffee.

"It seems that your idle move is not bad?"

His voice was a bit hard. It's obviously an interrogative sentence, but it's said to be a declarative sentence. And this tone is indeed more like a question than an inquiry.

The long-faced man who was asked this question finally couldn't help but smile as if he had been poked in an itch. He flicked the edge of the newspaper in his hand with his fingers and smiled as reservedly as he could: "Pretty good." I also didn't expect a body that was so weak that it didn't even have a full-fledged body. Voldemort, who can only use a few weak ones and can only kill some weak Muggles, still has such a great influence and makes such a big incident. ”

The gray-robed man on the opposite side seemed to have guessed his reaction. So he just nodded, not caring too much about his friend's pride.

"It won't end there, will it? That's not your style. ”

Here, it's just a matter of attracting the attention of others. This served their purpose to a certain extent. But it doesn't quite meet their needs. It stands to reason that it is beyond reproach to stop here. Naturally, there is an explanation on the fire dragon's side. But according to what he knows about horses...... The current situation, I am afraid, is just the beginning.

"Of course, it's time for the reporters I contacted to make a difference."

Ma chuckled, and what happened next, whether it was useful or not, would definitely be able to disgust Luke Gaunt with a wave of disgust when the main was already reached. A fake saint. Everyone is not a good thing, so why pretend to be like this? What's so bad about being calm?

"Anyway, why did you suddenly come to me today?"

Ma asked the man in front of him coldly.

The man on the other side did not change his expression at all, nor did his movements change at all, and when he heard this question, he said decisively: "I came to ask for your help." ”

Although the tone of the other party has not changed much. But at this moment, the horse still put away the smugness on his face and felt a little tricky.

The person in front of him is also a very powerful person in that small but powerful organization. After clarifying the identity of the other party, Ma realized how terrifying the person with the grizzly bear mask in front of him was.

Say. As long as it can help. I will not refuse. ”

This is actually nonsense. The Grizzly Bear came to him because he was determined that he could help. If you want to refuse, and the reason given for refusal is not satisfactory to the grizzly bear. Then the horse won't get into any trouble though. But the relationship with the grizzly bear that is hard to build will naturally be hurt to a certain extent.

The essence of Ma joining this small broken organization is to strengthen his influence on the world. When one person can't do it, a group of people get together and can do it by borrowing. When he first joined, he wasn't really a big guy. It's just that it's a little famous, and the idea fits well with this group of people. What's more, he knew very well that he was right for the rabbit guy's appetite, so he gave himself such a chance.

He also seized the opportunity to become a full member of the organization, and soon relied on the power of the organization to strengthen himself. Although he is still a little vain, on the surface, he is already worthy of the status of a full member of this organization.

"Give that bastard in France a little bit of oppression."

Grizzly didn't hesitate to speak: "The students over there have made us very passive. That guy from the Ministry of Magic is tough. We need to put a little pressure on him. ”

The horse looked at the grizzly bear's serious expression, and was quiet for a long time before he spoke, "I can understand what you mean." Do you want me to put some pressure on public opinion? For example, to make those supporters understand that their interests are being compromised. So they have to object. If the people in the Ministry of Magic don't object to what they're going against. They're going to oppose the Ministry of Magic, aren't they? ”

The horse has a lot to say. But when it comes together, it's actually such a thing as inciting the people. To be honest, he did this kind of thing very well.

Therefore, after a simple transformation of thinking, Ma was a little shocked at the beginning, but he also returned to normal.

Grizzly nodded, "That's what we want." If not in that position. They can't do anything. We, or rather, I, don't want to completely tear our faces with him yet. So, you have to make him understand the seriousness of the matter. ”

"I don't mix enough sand with my students. And the other side seems to have a full-fledged organizer. Gives me a bit of a headache. ”

Grizzly's face didn't change, just frowned. Ma subconsciously raised his eyebrows when he saw this expression. In his impression, the person in front of him had never shown such an expression. So it can be said that the situation that the grizzly bear is facing now is already very serious.

"Looks like they've really caused you a lot of trouble. Then there's only a limit to what I can do. ”

Ma frankly explained his shortcomings: "Public opinion is a terrible thing. But public opinion is not a panacea. It can make money and destroy bones. But what it can't change is the absolute truth. Although it can be buried. But what the truth is, you and I can't be clearer. ”

When he said this, there was even a sacredness on his face.

Grizzly doesn't care about the limitations of what Ma says, and he doesn't care if Ma has any faith in this kind of thing. He just nodded and said, "Just do what you can." I'm looking for other solutions as well. ”

"Luke Gaunt is a great guy. Don't underestimate him either. ”

Grizzly said earnestly to the horse, "If you underestimate Luke Gaunt, he will probably clean up badly." ”

"How?"

Hearing this, Ma took a sip of the coffee in the cup and humbly asked for advice.

He made his fortune very quickly and gained momentum. And it's also a field where it's easy to call yourself the so-called 'uncrowned king'. This feeling that one sentence can sway the direction of public opinion will indeed give people the illusion that they are omnipotent.

But Ma is a very pragmatic person. He troubles Luke Gaunt in order to curry favor with the fire dragon. He didn't know the true identity of the fire dragon though. But he knew that the dragon had never asked anyone for help. Everyone asked him for help. Fire Dragon gives everyone such a task this time, and everyone is within the scope of their own expertise, doing what they can do.

Because he knew that if this thing was done well, he would be able to raise a lot of face in front of the fire dragon. If other people don't usually use the help of the fire dragon. Horses are really needed.

"Luke Gaunt caused us a lot of trouble back then. He had almost nothing at the time. And, I suspect, there is also a shadow of Luke Gaunt behind the students' actions. Other words...... The person who is now in contact with that guy from the Ministry of Magic is most likely Luke Gaunt, or one of his men. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ma's face instantly turned ugly. This phrase is in essence. Luke Gaunt is the one who gives Grizzlies a headache.

Unlike his own sneak attack, in the case of a hard encounter, the grizzly bear seems to be at a disadvantage.

After thinking for a moment, Ma nodded and said, "I understand." I'll think about the intensity of my actions a little more. ”

The grizzly bear knew he must be greedy when he looked like this. Although I knew that the consequences could be serious, I couldn't help but want to test it.

But the grizzly bear won't say much either. It's hard to persuade damn ghosts with good words. People who die because of greed don't need sympathy.

"Okay, that's it. Start as soon as possible, please. ”

With that, the grizzly bear got up and disappeared into the crowd without going far.

After the other party left, Ma's face changed again and again, and finally nodded silently. After drinking the coffee in the cup, he disappeared into the crowd.

………………

"It's none of our business. Don't bother me with such boring things now. ”

Orson looked at his men with a furious expression.

His subordinates were taken aback by his expression, and they were a little overwhelmed for a while.

"I don't care what Voldemort and his men are like now, you know?! Scattering all the people is not for the purpose of gathering this kind of indifferent information. Go find the news of the Tri-Hallows of Death. Go to Austria and find out the surrounding situation of Newmengard thoroughly. ”

"Our mission now is to get Master Grindelwald out. and gave the Trihallows of Death as a gift of new life to him. Instead of focusing on a half-dead mad dog. ”

"Yes! Yes, yes! ”

The subordinates quickly bowed down to Orson and apologized. Then he left the room in a panic.

After he left, a vague figure appeared in the shadows: "You don't have to be in such a hurry. This news is not without value to us either. At least we know that our program has a higher success rate. ”

"I don't care about these accidents." Orson's expression was solemn, he looked at the defense map of Newmengard on the table, and his face was serious, "I don't intend to rely on any so-called accidents. It's never an accident that we've been able to succeed. With or without the turmoil brought about by the Death Eaters. This operation must be foolproof. ”

"I managed to convince Master Grindelwald to come out and see the world that was already in turmoil. Let him see this ugly world that is about to go down a path that is completely contrary to our philosophy. ”

"I will not allow failure!"

………………

"What is this?"

Hermione frantically slammed the newspaper on the table.

In this empty classroom, there are people who know Luke well and can be called his own people. There was no class schedule in this empty classroom. It stands to reason that such a classroom should not be open to students. But don't say it's in the wizarding world. Even Muggle middle school students have many ways to get into an empty classroom that no one manages.

So after Luke made the request, Snape said, 'I want a separate classroom for you to use, is this school owned by your family?' With that, he submitted Luke's application to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore decisively agreed to Luke's request. And in the content of the reply, he wrote: "After all, you are a school trustee and a direct descendant of Slytherin. This school cannot be considered your property. But if you want to use one of the classrooms, it's your right. ”

Well, this reply made Snape's face not so good-looking.

Well, in a sense, this is indeed the school that Luke's family opened. Even if it's only a quarter.

In this way, Luke and the others have a separate classroom that can be transformed at will. Many students are proud to be invited into this classroom. Unfortunately, even at the beginning of the new semester, there are very few new students who can be invited into this classroom. And there is no new student who can come and go in and out of it at will.

In this classroom, which was about to be mythologized by the students, Luke's friends fell into a state of low pressure.

Hermione's annoyance and anger were completely understandable.

Taylor looked at the newspaper on the table.

In the center of the page are two photos connected together, one is the back of a group of people in black robes with black magic marks on them. And one more ...... It was Luke, dressed in black wizard robes with a cold expression.

To be honest, this photo made Luke feel oppressive. If you look at the background, it should have been taken during the Quidditch World Cup. Luke himself didn't know when he had such a serious expression. Regardless of the contents of the newspaper, Luke is still satisfied with this photo alone.

And the content of the newspaper ......

"It's just a clichΓ© rumor." Taylor said in a deep voice, "From the bloodline and some small things that are not like it, connect Luke to the image of the mysterious man. Even the words that he has a good academic performance and a very good leadership temperament have come out. I don't even know whether the other party is positive or negative. ”

The crowd still didn't speak. They all know that such rumors are far-fetched and do not stand up to scrutiny at all. It only takes a little bit of brainstorming to see what's wrong.

Pity...... When faced with such information, most people will always think about receiving, not sifting, let alone distinguishing.

Even if it's just an impression, it's enough to make them ripple in their hearts.

"Very disgusting means. It is expected that more newspapers will come out in the next few days to talk about it. ”

Malfoy touched his chin and thought, "Do you want to just put pressure on these newspapers?" ”

"It's a straightforward solution, a bit crude, but it should work pretty well."

George nodded and said, "What's more important is to be able to distinguish between friend and foe." Those who accept our pressure are not our enemies. And after that, the ...... who continued to put the news"

"Knock it out." Fred's tone was a little cold, "Something like this can't be a trend. Otherwise once the impression is formed. It's a very bad thing for Luke. ”

As everyone discussed, Luke couldn't help but smile as he looked at the newspaper on the table.

"Finally, give me a chance?"
