Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 1150 A Fire
Seeing that the summer vacation is coming to an end, Draco, who originally wanted to kill Dumbledore and restore the glory of the Malfoy family, has gradually lost his initial confidence.

At this moment, Draco Malfoy was sitting at the desk with a gloomy face, flipping through the murder plans he had racked his brains, and crossed out the plans on the notebook one by one with a quill.

He frowned slightly when his eyes fell on Borgin Bock—the opal necklace.

Buying a dreadfully cursed opal necklace for Dumbledore from Borgin Burke's shop wasn't really a smart idea.

Even the inexperienced Draco knew this, just trying to sneak the opal necklace into Hogwarts was not an easy task.

What's more, it will be given to Dumbledore, and it will lead to his death.

It just seemed like a joke.

Maybe, this stupid assassination will make Dumbledore let down his guard?

Or, expose it all?

Draco Malfoy didn't cross it off in the end, he had no choice but to try.

What if it succeeds?

Draco Malfoy suddenly felt stupid again, to overwhelm Dumbledore's negligence?
As far as he knew, someone had never opened a package from a stranger, and he was delusional.

When he thought of that Mudblood, Albert Anderson, Malfoy felt a deep hatred in his heart.If it weren't for that Mudblood, how could his father have become a loser that everyone despises, and how could the Malfoy family not be reduced to the end they are now.

Draco Malfoy would have preferred to have been tasked with killing that Mudblood, if possible.

Compared with Dumbledore, Albert Anderson is actually better to kill.

Because his weakness is obvious.

That's right, a few of his good friends.

As far as Draco knew, the Mudblood had a very good relationship with the Weasley twins, and even went to a large sum of Galleons to help them realize their dream of opening a shop.

Ordinary good friends can't do this level.

As long as you pass the Weasley brothers, there is a high probability that the mudblood will be killed.

In fact, Draco also took killing Albert as his own plan, especially after finding out that it was very difficult to kill Dumbledore, he needed to leave a retreat for himself and his family.

According to Aunt Bella's information, the Dark Lord wanted to kill the Mudblood very much. If he could kill the Mudblood, he would not only wash away the shame left by his father, but also let the mysterious man let the Malfoy family go.

Of course, Draco has never underestimated that Mudblood. He saw Albert take down all the Aurors single-handedly. He knows better than anyone how powerful that Mudblood is. , It is estimated that it will be difficult to kill him.

However, Aunt Bella's words that a killing curse can solve the trash reminded Draco.

That Mudblood was indeed powerful, and it was difficult to kill him head-on, but he could use despicable and insidious means, such as using the Weasley twins as bait.

After Draco told his mother and aunt Bella about his thoughts, he got the support of the two.

After some discussion, according to his mother's suggestion, the Malfoy family first admitted that the reward of [-] Galleons proposed by Lucius last time was still valid, and handed over another Galleon to Bella, allowing her to recruit those greedy and Go fuck that mudblood.

Anyway, the Malfoy family has no shortage of Garen, and most importantly, this can maintain the reputation of the Malfoy family.

Although Draco also knew that the probability of letting those greedy guys kill Albert was really not high, but what if it was a trap for a weak point?

Maybe it will be a success?

After all, no matter how powerful the opponent is, he is only a person and will be killed by the Killing Curse.

Guys who live in gray areas are clearly better at it than they are.

No one could refuse the temptation from Garen.

However, what Draco Malfoy didn't know was that the moment his plan was implemented, the whole plan was on the verge of bankruptcy because someone couldn't stop Garen's temptation.

Worst of all, the opponent's revenge has come.

When Draco put down the quill, he suddenly heard the family swallowtail dog barking wildly.

He quickly reached out and grabbed his wand, and watched the situation outside the manor through the window of the room, trying to figure out what happened.

At this moment, the door of the room was slammed open, and two figures rushed into the room, shouting, "Draco, my son, where are you!"

"What happened to Mom?" Draco looked at his mother who was hugging him, and asked vigilantly, "Did the Ministry of Magic come to arrest us? Or someone invaded the manor."

"It's more serious than that. We have to get out of here. The flames of the devil are coming." Bella swung her wand and blasted the window, pushing her sister and nephew to jump out of the window to escape.

"Here is... ah!"

Before Draco could finish his sentence, Bella pushed him out of the window. With a scream, the three of them were suspended in mid-air for a moment. When he recovered, he had already fallen to the ground.

"What is it..." Draco's words stopped suddenly, because he found that somehow the whole manor was on fire, and it spread at an extremely terrifying speed.

"Quick, quick, damn it, run."

Bella dispersed the giant flaming bird that was rushing towards them, grabbed the struggling two and told them to run quickly.She couldn't quell the out-of-control devil flames at all, so she could only leave here with her sister and nephew.

Rolling and crawling, Malfoy has never been so embarrassed as today. He turned his head from time to time, watching the churning flames turn into various ferocious beasts and chase them after them.

"Damn, what the hell is going on." Malfoy asked breathlessly.

"Fierce Curse."

After retreating to the entrance of the manor, Bella, who was looking at the tumbling fire in front of her, finally managed to explain to them, "Someone used the Fiercefire Curse to directly destroy the protective magic of Malfoy Manor. They are taking revenge on you. Here It's not safe anymore, we have to get out of here."

"how so……"

Narcissa looked at the manor that had turned into a sea of ​​flames, as if she might faint at any moment.

"Damn it, how did this happen, who did it?"

Draco Malfoy seemed to have been drained of strength, and fell to his knees on the ground, looking at the manor engulfed in hellish flames, he beat the ground with his fist unwillingly, and roared angrily.

His home is gone.

……

Late at night, Ministry of Magic.

Ever since Scrimgeour became minister and announced that the Ministry of Magic had entered a state of wartime, there have been people staying in the Ministry of Magic for a long time, and Scrimgeour would stick to his post every night.

Whether it is dealing with official documents, sitting in the Ministry of Magic, or even thinking about countermeasures.At least, everyone can see his attitude, and no one dares to complain about working overtime.

There was a knock on the door, and Percy's voice sounded outside.

"Come in!"

Scrimgeour, who was reviewing official documents, put down the quill in his hand, and reached for the wand beside him.

After Percy went in, he immediately reported to his boss what had just happened in Diagon Alley.

After listening to the assistant's report, Scrimgeour frowned slightly, and repeated what he had just heard: "There are more than 50 bugs wandering around Knockturn Alley trying to rob the Defense Against the Dark Arts store?"

"Yes, except for some who escaped, the rest were all subdued. Kingsley has already taken the emergency team to Diagon Alley to deal with this matter. They have also arrested several suspicious elements. They are currently being interrogated and should be able to get them soon. latest news."

Percy glanced at his boss secretly, and continued: "The owner thinks that these people are going to the Defense Against the Dark Arts specialty store. The reason is probably that the Ministry of Magic regulates the Defense Against the Dark Arts items, which has damaged the interests of some merchants...they I also think that this incident may have something to do with You-Know-Who. If you are lucky, you might be able to catch some Death Eater minions who are making trouble for the Ministry of Magic."

"It seems that my luck is not bad." Scrimgeour stood up from behind the desk, obviously planning to go over to pay attention to the latest situation in person.

Anything related to the mysterious person deserves his attention.

As soon as he left the office, Scrimgeour seemed to think of something, turned his head to Percy behind him and said, "Let the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic reject the appeal of Joko and others on the grounds of insufficient evidence, after all, they have registered patents with the Ministry of Magic." , are protected by the Patent Act."

"Yes." Percy thought for a while and asked again, "Do you want to hold a press conference tomorrow?"

"If this matter is related to the mysterious man, then disclose to the public that the Ministry of Magic has once again crushed the mysterious man's conspiracy." Scrimgeour thought for a while and then said, "Also, you can secretly reveal the dark magic defense props to show that the magic The Ministry has always been committed to protecting everyone's safety."

"As for this matter, let Kingsley and Arthur jointly investigate."

Although he knew that Percy was Albert's person, Skrein still used him.

Nothing more than.

Because of safety.

It's ridiculous to say it, but it's a reality.

If Scrimgeour doesn't want to die like Burns, he has to pay attention to his own safety. For example, the place where he lives now is a safe house protected by the Fidelity Curse, and the keeper of the secret is Albus Dumbledore.

When the two came to the interrogation room, the results of the interrogation had already come out.

Just as Scrimgeour took over the documents and was about to check the content of the interrogation, a wizard who stayed behind hurried over.

"Devil's Flame, someone used the Devil's Flame to set Malfoy Manor on fire." The wizard panted to report the latest news to Scrimgeour.

"There's a lot going on today." Scrimgeour handed the document to Percy, and walked out of the interrogation room quickly, "How's the situation over there? Is the fire under control?"

It was no wonder that Scrimgeour was so nervous. The Fiercefire Curse was a very dangerous black magic, and once it got out of control, it would have dire consequences.

"Director Robards has led people to control the situation."

"Director Robards sent a message back that the fire over there is huge and more assistants are needed." The former assistant gasped and said, "One more thing, the Aurors saw the Dark Mark over Malfoy Manor .”

"Dark Mark, are you sure you're not joking?" Scrimgeour stopped, looking at his former assistant with astonishment on his face.

The mysterious man set Malfoy Manor on fire?
This was without a doubt the funniest thing Scrimgeour had heard in this century.

"It is indeed the Dark Mark."

"Tell Kingsley, let him immediately lead people to Malfoy Manor for reinforcements, as for the matter at hand. Weasley, you lead people to take over, first capture those bastards back to the Ministry of Magic and imprison them." Scrimgeour greeted The others planned to take them to Malfoy Manor for reinforcements.

"By the way, send someone to notify Dumbledore."

To be honest, Scrimgeour suspected that this was a trick played by the mysterious man, intending to use this to divide the defense force of the Ministry of Magic and create a chance to assassinate him, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't look like it.

By the time Scrimgeour led his people to Malfoy Manor, the situation over there was already a little bad, and the Aurors could only barely control the situation, preventing the devil flames from spreading around.

It was only when Scrimgeour brought people in to join in that the situation was finally stabilized. In the end, it was Dumbledore who came to help clean up the mess and completely quelled the terrible disaster.

"Do you know who did it?" After greeting Dumbledore, Scrimgeour turned to ask the old man in charge of leading the team.

"I don't know, when we arrived, the devil's flames had completely engulfed Malfoy Manor,

And there is a tendency to want to spread outside. Fortunately, you came in time, otherwise if the devil's flame really spreads, the neighborhood is likely to be completely finished. " Gadwin smiled wryly, he is still confused now.

To be honest, the chief of the Auror office is really hard to do. He was exhausted during this period, and Kingsley's crisis response team helped to share a lot of pressure.

"They saw the Dark Mark, could this be a conspiracy by You-Know-Who?" Scrimgeour asked Dumbledore.

"I don't know." Dumbledore shook his head. "Is the Malfoy family still alive?"

Scrimgeour looked at Gadwin, who shook his head to express that he didn't understand.

"What the hell tonight, one thing after another," Scrimgeour said. "If you have time, we'd better talk about the situation in the wizarding world in England and the safety of Hogwarts students."

"You think you still have a lot of work to do later, so let's make an appointment after eleven o'clock." Dumbledore took out his pocket watch to check the time, and said to Scrimgeour with a smile.

"See you later." Scrimgeour didn't refuse, and after watching Dumbledore leave, he turned his head and said to his old buddy Gadwin, "When the press conference is held tomorrow, you can give those reporters a little hint, Lucius Malfoy is suspected of being revenged by the mysterious person for leaking information about the Death Eaters to the Ministry of Magic."

Gadwin was a little taken aback.

"Hint, I just have to mention it to your assistant a little bit, he knows what to do?"

As to whether or not the Malfoys would suffer, that was none of Scrimgeour's business.

The devil knows whether Lucius' wife and son are still alive after the fire.

Anyway, after this incident, the relationship between the mysterious man and the Death Eaters must become very delicate. Even if the plan fails, the mysterious man can still be severely disgusted.
