Chapter 60: The Avengers
It was convenient to have Tonks around, she could apparition, and the four of them quickly arrived in the Golden Hall of the Ministry of Magic.
Unfortunately, they caught up with a press conference, and a group of reporters surrounded Secretary Fudge.
"Mr. Minister, is there any news of Peter now?"
"Not yet." Fudge said tiredly, "We're trying to recapture Peter Pettigrew, we beg you to ...... The wizarding world remains calm and gives us some more time. ”
"Mr. Minister, how long will it take to give you a definite message?" A reporter raised his hand and said:
"It's been almost a month since Peter escaped from prison, and we haven't seen any action from the Ministry of Magic."
Fudge annoyed, "We've made a lot of efforts, as long as you open your eyes, as long as you're not blind......"
"Are you referring to inform the Muggle Prime Minister of Peter's fugitive?" Another reporter exclaimed, "I noticed that Muggle news was already covering Peter." ”
"I had to do this, don't you know how dangerous Peter is?" Fudge exclaimed:
"He killed thirteen innocent Muggles more than a decade ago. Anyone who encounters him will be in danger, wizards or Muggles, and I must warn the Muggle Prime Minister.
And there are a lot of Muggles, maybe someone happens to see Peter and give us clues......"
"But it seems to be a violation of the Secrecy Act, Mr. Minister."
"I got assurances from the Muggle Prime Minister." Fudge glared: "He won't reveal Peter's true identity to anyone, he will only say that Peter is a murderer." ”
"But some members of the International Confederation of Wizards don't seem to approve of your approach." Another reporter asked: "Mr. Fontaine has criticized you ......"
"Fontaine?" When Fudge suddenly heard a French surname, he was furious and said, "A Frenchman...... No right to interfere in the internal affairs of the British wizarding community! ”
"But he's French...... Americans, now American wizards. ”
“……”
"Mr. Minister, will you be able to catch Peter before the start of the Quidditch World Cup next year? Isn't that a rarity? ”
"Mr. Minister, what do you think is more difficult for England Quidditch to reach next year's World Cup or to catch Peter Pettigrew?"
“……”
The reporters' tricky questions crept into Fudge's mind, making a maddening noise, and he had a sudden headache, and his head seemed to be pierced by a spell, giving him a splitting headache.
Rove stood in the distance, listened for a while, and felt very tricky, sure enough...... Ministers are not just anyone's jobs.
At this moment, someone suddenly spotted Rove who was waiting for the elevator, and I don't know who roared, and all the reporters immediately rushed over.
Rove stepped forward, shielding Shirley and Hermione behind him, surrounded by the group of reporters.
"Mr. Scamander, what do you think of Peter Pettigrew's escape?"
"Mr. Scamander, has the Ministry of Magic granted you shelter?"
"Mr. Scamander, are you, the hero who captured Peter Pettigrew, afraid that Peter will come to you for revenge?"
A series of questions came over, and Rove did not drive them away, but only maintained restraint and politeness, and he smiled and said:
"The taste of revenge is wonderful, but it's not quite a good word to describe Peter."
"So what is the right word?" A reporter asked.
"Traitors, cowards, Death eaters, liars, murderers, etc." Rove narrowed his eyes and said:
"Every word represents a crime, and Peter was guilty of countless crimes, and there was a group of people who wanted to slay him and taste the wonderful taste of revenge."
"Dumbledore, Blake, Lupin...... A large group of 'Avengers' who hate him have long been full of anger and can't wait to avenge James Potter and Lily Potter. ”
"Not to mention the wizards who have lost their loved ones because of the Death Eaters, they will form an Avenger Alliance, let out a righteous roar, and fight for their loved ones to destroy every Death Eater."
Everyone fell silent...... The two girls standing behind Rove, the reporters, Minister Fudge, and the Ministry of Magic officials, all gathered around the angry blonde boy.
"Everyone, remember...... Peter's escape from prison is not the end, but the beginning, the beginning of revenge! ”
"Every Avenger, waiting for him...... Peter would regret not staying in Azkaban, because then he would have saved his life. ”
"You ask me if I'm afraid of revenge?" The boy looked at the group of reporters, and he raised his voice:
"I guess I'll leave that to Peter Pettigrew."
"Peter, I know you can hear me...... I'm here waiting for you to come to me for revenge...... But until then, you'd better be alive. ”
After Rove's words fell, the wizards who had already been stirred up by him applauded desperately.
With the sound of Ding Ding Dangdang and Kalakala, an elevator descended in front of them.
Rove whispered to Shirley and Hermione, who were in a daze behind them, "Come in." ”
Only then did the two come back to their senses and walked into the elevator, the young man walked slowly forward, and said with a bright smile:
"Guys, just get here, goodbye."
Rove poked the number nine button, and the fence slammed shut. The elevator made a snapping sound, which was very harsh.
After entering the elevator, it was still quiet, and Rove turned his head and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Shirley, who had not spoken, suddenly said seriously:
"Rove, if Peter comes to you for revenge, I will do my best to protect you."
"Me too!" Hermione hurriedly said.
"Thank you." Rove was a little moved, and he smiled: "We protect each other. ”
Tonks glanced at Rove with interest, then at the two maidens, and whistled:
"Rot, you're amazing."
"Huh?"
"In short, great in every sense." Tonks exclaimed.
Rove digressed, "I heard that Mad-Eye Moody is retiring?" ”
"yes, he's been teaching me the Aurors lately." Tonks sighed and said wistfully, "I've already gotten through three instructors. ”
"The first instructor died in the middle of his mission, the second teacher was transferred to another department, and the third was Moody's...... I didn't expect him to suddenly retire. ”
Tonks looked uncomfortable.
Rove looked at Tonks in surprise, what kind of bad luck possession, he has survived the three Auror teachers, and he has not yet changed from a trainee to a full-fledged Auror?
This made the boy suddenly think of a classmate in his previous life, who had survived several tutors and did not graduate, and in the end, no professor dared to take him.
The elevator slowly ascended, the chain clicked, and when it stopped, an indifferent woman's voice said, "Department of Mysteries." ”
After the fence was opened, Rove stepped out of the elevator, he suddenly stopped, looked at the wizard not far away, and said in surprise:
McGonagall...... Professor? ”
