Chapter 12: The Aurors and the Old Man (Asking for a Recommendation Ticket and a Monthly Pass)

What happened in Diagon Alley was unknown to Arthur, who was in St. Mary's Orphanage.

At this time, he was in the warm afternoon sun, helping to take care of the young orphans who were playing on the grass.

The breeze brushed Arthur's eyes, and as he rubbed his eyes, four young men in dark niche coats stood in front of him.

The four of them seemed to have used some kind of magic to make their sudden arrival not cause the screams and panic of the children around them.

"Arthur Pendragon?"

"Who are you?"

Arthur asked calmly as he glanced at the wands in the hands of these men.

"Arthur Pendragon. Due to your serious violation of the International Confederation of Wizards' Secrecy Act, the Ministry of Magic has decided to arrest you. Please come with us. ”

The Auror at the head looked at Arthur with contempt, and when he finished reading the decision of the Ministry of Magic, he did not give Arthur a chance to explain.

With a direct wave of his hand, he asked the other people to circle Arthur from three directions.

"I was still an ordinary person who didn't go to school. How can you violate your secrecy laws? ”

Arthur stood up and looked at the Aurors who were several heads taller than him, his tone calm and gentle, but not the slightest bit of fear.

The Aurors didn't answer Arthur's question, all they could do was complete the mission.

With a cold and serious countenance, and a clenched wand, he approached Arthur step by step.

The sleepy-eyed owl in the tree flapped its wings restlessly and made a loud warning sound.

"Don't... I'll take care of it myself. No... You promised me..."

Suddenly, a terrifying force erupted from Arthur, a force that the Aurors had never seen before.

Arthur, on the other hand, touched his heart and whispered something the Aurors couldn't understand.

They stopped vigilantly, raised their wands, and aimed them at the emaciated little wizard in front of them.

"Don't resist! Pendragon! ”

The blonde young man standing on Arthur's side warned sharply.

He was closest to Arthur, and was the first to feel the hostile, terrifying power of Arthur.

"Sorry to scare you. Does Headmaster Dumbledore know about this? ”

After settling him/her, Arthur's delicate face was also a little more relaxed.

There was no fear, no panic, which made the four Aurors wonder.

The force that made their hearts tremble just now was no longer violent.

It was just calm around Arthur, but it wasn't enough for them to let their guard down.

Is he an unrecorded Silent One, and that this terrifying force belongs to Silent Ran? ’

The Auror's expression became extremely serious and ugly.

When they accepted the task of capturing Arthur, their leaders did not reveal that Arthur still had such terrifying powers.

What to do?

It was a common problem in the minds of the four Aurors.

The owl in the tree stopped calling, flapping its wings vigorously, and with its sharp claws, it flew off into the distance.

The Silent One has not appeared for many years.

If not handled well, it can cause a huge riot.

The Aurors didn't know what to do, so they could only set their sights on their captain.

"Arthur Pendragon, this matter is not as serious as you think. It may just be a routine inquiry, and you will be released soon. ”

Feeling the gaze of his companion, the young man led by him moved his Adam's apple, and his tone was not as cold as before, but became much gentler.

"Your book, our family has also read it. My brother loves your novels very much, and you love your story of Harry Potter defeating the mystery man once again. ”

In order to gain Arthur's trust, don't let the silence in his body run wild.

Captain Auror chooses to play the emotional card to bring himself closer to Arthur and gain his favor.

"I remember that you were among the wizards who helped restore the building that day, and I didn't have time to thank you at that time, and I felt a little regretful in my heart."

"Thank you... But I'm sorry, I don't want to be taken away by you as a suspect on a trumped-up charge. ”

Arthur recognized the Auror in front of him, and he bowed sincerely.

I express my gratitude in my heart.

Whether he wants to arrest him now or hurt him, the past kindness must not be forgotten.

"Captain William, whatever monster he is. We're four of us! ”

The blonde Auror yelled angrily at his captain.

They were the Aurors who had just subdued the dragon, and how could they not dare to arrest a child because he was suspected of being silent.

"It's all petrified!"

Without waiting for his captain to give the order, the blonde Auror instantly raised his wand and cast a petrification spell on Arthur.

"Don't!"

Captain William was shocked to see that his team members actually cast a spell on Arthur.

In his eyes, the team's petrification spell hit Arthur, but only in the eye.

The terrifying force hovering around Arthur engulfed his companion's petrification spell, unleashing a terrifying wave of magic that shook the four of them back.

After stabilizing his body, Captain William and his companions raised their wands to subdue the monster that was annoyed by the petrification spell and was ready to get angry.

But the next situation made them look stunned.

An old man dressed in a shabby black robe, with a sturdy figure and a yellow, withered face, appeared beside Arthur.

The old man's eyes were blank, but a terrifying coercion was released from under the black robe.

The majestic wave of magic overwhelmed the four Aurors from breathing.

"Are you here to kill me?"

Arthur looked at the old man who suddenly arrived, frowning slightly.

But as the fragmentary images came to his mind, the frowning brow gradually eased.

The old man didn't answer Arthur's question, and he didn't pay attention to the Aurors who were frightened by him.

He smiled maliciously and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why didn't you do it when you could have killed them instantly?" ”

"Why kill? Killing is the most incompetent means. ”

Arthur tilted his head to look at the old man's unkempt and ruined face.

"They're going to take you to that incompetent and rotten Ministry of Magic, don't you know what will happen to you when you go?"

The old man saw that Arthur was not frightened by the magic on his body, and a fine light flashed in his cloudy eyes, and then his expression became gloomy and terrifying.

The powerful aura instantly made the onlookers retreat again and again.

The figure of the old man is not thin and small, but more like a dark lord who has come out of the long river of history.

"If they do something bad to me just because of a novel. Then there is no need for this Ministry of Magic to exist. ”

"As you say, it's an incompetent, rotten, terminally ill arrogance that should have been abandoned by wizards long ago."

Arthur's answer made the old man's eyes startle.

He didn't expect that the child who had not yet entered the magic school would see the situation in front of him so thoroughly.

The Ministry of Magic, however, is very sick.

It's like a shiny edifice, but it's also infested by termites and could collapse at any time.

"Well said. Since you are not afraid of them. Then I said, I'm here to kill you. Are you scared? ”

The old man gathered away his momentum, and his shriveled and wrinkled hands pulled out a stack of manuscripts from his tattered robes and handed them to Arthur.

"Huh? How could it be with you? ”
