Chapter 15: The Killing Curse and the Huge Arrears (New Day, Asking for Recommendation Tickets, Asking for Monthly Tickets)
"Arthur, slandering an important Ministry of Magic official is tantamount to your complicity with Grindelwald. Do you have any proof? β
Amelia Bones, who was the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, looked at Arthur with a serious expression.
She was not involved in Umbridge and Yaxley's conspiracy against Arthur. But also opposed Secretary Fudge's decision not to punish Arthur.
"Voldemort" and "Death Eater" can be heard coming out of Arthur's mouth. She had to pay attention to it.
The Bones family, before Voldemort appeared, were one of the most powerful families in the wizarding world.
However, during their first battle with Voldemort, most of their family members were brutally murdered by Voldemort and his Death Eaters.
In particular, her brother, Edgar Bones, was one of the founders of the Order of the Phoenix.
Amelia can't forget that afternoon after the rain. When she walked into her brother's house, the terrible scene was still vivid.
Every time she thought about it, her heart ached.
"Director Bones, you don't believe a child's lies!"
Hearing this, Yaxley retorted angrily.
As a veteran Auror, he knew very well what torture he would face if his identity as a Death Eater was revealed.
"Yes or no, that has nothing to do with me. But ....."
Arthur's pause made all the wizards present anxious.
The fact that his colleague was a Death Eater was far more terrifying than Grindelwald in front of him.
Although Grindelwald is a powerless Dark Lord, they are even more reluctant to be betrayed by their trusted colleagues.
"Arthur! Show your proof! β
Minister Fudge was on the verge of collapse by this time, first with Grindelwald's invasion of the Ministry of Magic, and now with his own men being slandered as Death Eaters.
In a trance, Minister Fudge felt ten years older.
"Grandpa Grindelwald, I heard that you are the most powerful dark wizard, oh, I was wrong, it was before. Now, Voldemort seems to be. β
Arthur ignored Fudge, he put away the journal and pencil in his hand, and looked at Grindelwald beside him.
The Ministry of Magic had already handed down the verdict before he appeared in court, and he no longer needed to document the process.
"Do you know what I want to do now? Kill you! β
Grindelwald snorted, and then began to chant a mouthful of curses.
The wizards saw Grindelwald begin to chant the spell and raised his wand as if he were facing a great enemy, and the glow of the various attack types appeared on the tip of the wand again.
Grindelwald glanced at the wizards and smiled disdainfully.
Although he was used by a child's clumsy agitation method, he would have liked to see the expressions of these incompetent wizards when they found out that their colleagues were Death Eaters.
As Grindelwald's spell reverberated throughout the halls of the Ministry of Magic.
Yaxley and several other Death Eaters hiding in the Ministry of Magic suddenly felt a powerful spell burn their left arm.
When they looked down at their arms, the spark had burned through their coats.
A black mark wrapped around the skeleton by a snake appeared on their arm.
"It's the Dark Mark mark!"
An elderly Ministry of Magic staff member screamed in panic as he looked at the black mark on his colleague's arm.
"Catch them!"
"Don't let them run!"
Minister Fudge and Director Bones shouted when they saw the Dark Mark on Yaxley's arm.
At the same time, he aimed his wand at Yaxley, trying to subdue the Death Eater.
"Except for your weapons!"
"It's all petrified!"
β......β
All of a sudden, screams and spell explosions filled the hall.
The wizards of the Ministry of Magic, who had been unanimous with the outside world, were in chaos, and the Death Eaters turned into dark shadows, entangled with the Aurors.
"Haha!"
Grindelwald looked at these incompetent wizards, who couldn't even subdue a few Death Eaters at once, and couldn't help but open his arms and laugh.
The explosions of the clash of spells and the screams of wizards were like a beautiful symphony that fascinated Grindelwald.
If there is a beautiful lady in front of him, he doesn't mind dancing with it.
"Arthur, who is the most powerful dark wizard now?"
Grindelwald flicked his wand quickly, and without even looking at him, knocked several spells into the air.
Now, it's time for him and Arthur to discuss the cost of taking advantage of him.
"Does that stuff make sense? You're a complete failure, and Voldemort still has a chance to fight back. β
"It's so old, how good it is to enjoy your old age in peace. Does it really matter to you who is the most powerful dark wizard right now? β
Arthur looked at several subdued Death Eaters before turning his gaze to the fireplace and phone booth in the distance.
Grindelwald laughed at Arthur's words, and he followed Arthur's gaze to the fireplace. I immediately understood what Arthur was thinking.
"If you don't, I'll leave now, leaving you alone in the Ministry of Magic. Tut~"
He took out the previous manuscript from his shabby black robes, shook it in front of Arthur a few times, and said with a dark grin.
But his raunchy, sloppy face, with that smile, looks ridiculous.
"It's you, the great Dark Lord Grindelwald. Can you give me back the manuscript? This is going to be published soon. I'm short of money right now, and it can bring me a lot of money. β
Arthur, who once again owed a huge foreign debt today, looked at the manuscript of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" in Grindelwald's hand with a tangled face, and said reluctantly.
No one has a hard time with money, especially Arthur, who is very short of money.
"Die! Avada KedavraοΌ β
Yaxley's hoarse roar appeared near Arthur, and when he looked back, he saw a dazzling green light already coming at him.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Grindelwald yelled angrily and lunged at Arthur at the same time, trying to push him down.
Avada Suo, also known as the Killing Curse, is one of the three unforgivable curses.
Grindelwald was furious at this time.
If the Elder Wand was still in his hands, he wasn't afraid of the Killing Curse at all.
But at the moment, the wand in his hand belongs to someone else, and it doesn't fit him at all. It is impossible to resist the most evil spells.
"Arthur!"
Suddenly, a light gray-robed figure appeared in the hall of the Ministry of Magic, and he first saw the chaotic Ministry of Magic, and his long white eyebrows furrowed.
Before he could ask Fudge what was going on here, he saw a green light hit Arthur.
"Albus!"
"Gellert?"
Dumbledore was in no mood to pay attention to why Grindelwald was here, and he flew quickly towards Arthur.
But before he could get close, a force so powerful that he had never seen before erupted from Arthur's body.
The huge energy turned into a shockwave, and in an instant, all the wizards in the entire hall of the Ministry of Magic were knocked away.
"Thank you... Another huge amount of money, you damn it..."
Grindelwald and Dumbledore's eyes widened, excited, shocked, remorseful, and their expressions slightly different.
But they all looked at Arthur floating in the air at the same time.
At this time, Arthur was the most inconspicuous child before, and that powerful aura made him the focus of everyone.
Suddenly, an extremely unstable black mist emerged from behind Arthur, under the gaze of the wizards who had come to their senses.
The black mist rushed towards Yaxley at great speed, like a pencil piercing tissue paper.
Unblocked by any force, the black mist pierced from behind Yaxley.
"It's silent! He's a silent one! β
An old wizard, half-lying on the ground, pointed at the black mist and screamed in alarm.
