From Azkaban

As "Sian Westin" was turned off, the world in Locke's eyes returned to normal, and five magic wands flying towards him were caught by Locke.

"!!!"

As Locke caught five wands, others also reacted.

Sirius and the others looked at the five Aurors who were trapped in the flaming cage with confused faces and had not yet reacted. Their eyes widened and their mouths opened little by little.

They thought the battle would end quickly, but they didn't expect it to end so quickly, so quickly that it was over before they even blinked.

In shock, everyone looked at each other and confirmed that the other party, like themselves, saw nothing, and they were not the only ones.

"Five of you, we just want to leave here. We have no intention of harming your lives, so please cooperate and give up resistance. By the way, if you don't mind, I would like to borrow your magic wands for a while."

Locke was very satisfied with the actual combat effect of "Sian Westin". Looking at the five Aurors who were still in disbelief, he smiled and raised his hand and shook the five wands in his hand.

"I remember you. You were the lousy smuggler who was locked up for smuggling prohibited magical items. You...you..."

Locke's words brought the five Aurors in the flaming cage back to their senses from their shock. Looking at Locke's familiar face, the young Auror who happened to deliver someone during the last shift quickly recognized Locke.

He just looked at the flaming cage around him and the magic wand that somehow ended up in Locke's hand, and he couldn't say any more after saying half of what he wanted to say.

There is no way. Look at the current situation. Not only is the spell cast without a wand and silently, but the fire spell also incorporates transfiguration. How can this level be considered lame? If this is lame, then what about the rest of the wizards?

"You are pretending! That is not your true level at all, you...you..."

The young Auror looked as if he had suddenly realized something and pointed at Locke, but his words were completely hindsight and the other four Aurors ignored him.

"You entered Azkaban this way, just for these Death Eaters?"

Seeing the oldest Auror staring at Locke with a grim expression, and glancing at the people behind Locke, he knew very well how terrible it would be if these guys escaped from prison.

"That's not what you need to know," Locke shook his head. He couldn't answer this question. After all, the dishes from the previous life were real.

"The magic of the cage will last for two hours, and the Dementors will not be able to get close during this time. Well, thank you all for your wands, and we will meet again in the future."

Smiling and nodding slightly at the five people, Locke turned around, raised the wand in his hand, checked the material of the wand, and asked the person with the best compatibility to come forward and take it.

Locke ordered the five people who had the magic wands to use Apparition to take the others away, and his body slowly floated up.

He didn't know how to Apparate, and he didn't plan to use it to leave. Traveling away would be a good opportunity to practice and deepen the use of gravity spells and weather spells.

After agreeing with Rodolphus on a meeting place in Knockturn Alley, Locke accelerated into the sky and soon disappeared.

Volume 1: Chapter 46 The Ministry of Magic

The Ministry of Magic is located in the basement of Whitehall in central London, England.

In the Minister's Office on the first floor of the Ministry of Magic, the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, was walking back and forth quickly with a dark face and a very ugly expression.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Just now, Minister Fudge, who had come back happily from a round of inspection and felt that his majesty was well demonstrated, received a piece of bad news that almost made him faint.

Just this morning, two hours ago to be exact, all the Death Eaters imprisoned in Azkaban escaped collectively.

The leader of this disaster was a smuggler who was imprisoned more than half a year ago.

According to the records, the wizard named Locke Cazier was just an ordinary pure-blood wizard, no different from other ordinary wizards, and his abilities were incomparable to those of most dark wizards.

The reason why a guy like that was sentenced to such a long time was entirely because the magic items he was reselling were too sensitive.

Judging from the records, Locke Kazir was a guy who didn't even know how to use the Fire Spell.

But now, Fudge just wanted to pull out the guy who took notes at that time and tear him to pieces alive.

Because from the information sent back by the five Aurors stationed in Azkaban, it was clear that Locke Cazier was not as incompetent as the records said, but was actually a wizard with extremely powerful magic.

Fudge had carefully read the report sent back from Azkaban, and the more he read, the more frightened he became.

Wandless and silent casting, extremely high level fire spells and transfiguration, extreme casting speed and mysterious flying spells.

Thinking of the report in which the five Aurors clearly stated that they were defeated and imprisoned in an instant even though they had taken the initiative, and that the speed was so fast that they had no idea what was happening, they were already enveloped in the flaming cage, and their wands were confiscated, Fudge felt extremely horrified.

You know, the Aurors who were sent to guard Azkaban were all good. Except for the young Auror who had just become an Auror, the other four were all elite Aurors.

However, these five Aurors were defeated and subdued in an instant even though they had taken the initiative. Based on Fudge's knowledge, he felt that even Dumbledore would be in the same situation.

After all, that was without a wand. If that guy got his wand, Fudge didn't even dare to think about what would happen.

"Why, why do wizards like this always appear! But he disguised himself and went to Azkaban just to rescue those Death Eaters. Could it be the You-Know-Who... No, no, no, it's impossible, it can't be him."

Fudge suppressed the speculation as soon as it arose, firstly because of his fear of Voldemort, and secondly because he did not think this was a method Voldemort could use.

Given Voldemort's personality, he would never condescend to enter Azkaban in that way for his men, and stay there for so long.

If it was really him, and he wanted to save the Death Eaters in Azkaban, he would definitely choose to attack Azkaban head-on in order to demonstrate his violence and spread his terror.

And the most important point is that according to Voldemort's style and brutality, Fudge didn't think that the five Aurors could survive after being defeated.

Therefore, we can conclude that Locke Cazier is not Voldemort.

World-weary penguin, dove

However, such a conclusion did not make Fudge feel at ease at all, because even if that guy was not Voldemort, with the strength he showed, he was a powerful wizard who was not inferior to Voldemort at all.

It has been less than ten years since Voldemort fell, and now a new Dark Lord has emerged. How can Fudge feel at ease about this? Now his heart is shaking like a sieve.

And unlike Voldemort, it was difficult for Fudge to deceive himself and act like an ostrich when facing Locke's problem. Besides, it was also extremely difficult to hide such a major event as the Death Eaters' collective prison break.

How to hide? After all, the wizarding world is so small, and those Death Eaters are basically known to everyone. If they just show up, Fudge is sure that the news will spread throughout the entire wizarding world within half a day.

Not to mention that those guys have found a new master again. After being locked up for so many years, they have escaped now. They will definitely go crazy and vent their anger on Locke Cazier.

When Fudge thought of this, he felt that his breathing became difficult. He could already imagine the scene when his office was filled with yelling letters and complaint letters.

"What should I do? If I don't handle this well, I might be kicked out of this term, not to mention my reelection."

To Fudge, nothing is more important than his own power. Facing the huge crisis of losing power, Fudge is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Don't panic, don't panic. Things haven't reached the worst point yet. Let's wait for the Aurors who went to Azkaban to investigate to come back. There shouldn't be any problems in a few hours."

As soon as he learned about what happened, Fudge had the Auror Office organize people to go to the island where Azkaban was located. Judging from the time, they should have arrived by now.

.............................................................

In Azkaban, the five Aurors who had been imprisoned by Locke in a fire cage have now regained their freedom as the magic power maintaining the cage has been exhausted.

After they were freed, they immediately reported the intelligence through the backup means placed in the garrison lounge, requesting the Ministry of Magic to send people for support.

Later, because they didn't have wands, they didn't dare to enter Azkaban to check the situation. After all, they didn't know whether there was any danger in Azkaban at the moment.

So for safety reasons, the five of them stayed in the lounge while waiting for reinforcements, and only came out of the lounge after other Aurors arrived.

"Here are the details. We don't know where those Death Eaters have gone. For safety reasons, we did not check the situation in Azkaban. You need to ask them yourself. As for the Dementors..."

Outside Azkaban, the oldest of the five Aurors was talking to the leader of the Auror team that came with them. When he mentioned Dementors, he raised his head and glanced up at the sky.

"Those monsters seem to be very afraid of Locke Kazir. You can ask them the specific reason later. There are other prisoners on the floor where Locke Kazir is staying. You can also ask them."

The older Auror paused at this point, and after thinking about it, he decided to give his suggestion.

"That guy has been in Azkaban for a full six months. During that time, he should have communicated with the Death Eaters. The prisoners on the same floor with him must know something. I think we can use Veritaserum in the current situation."

Volume 1: Chapter 47 "Wise and Courageous"

Faced with the older Auror's suggestion, the leader of the Auror team chose to adopt it. After that, the information about applying for truth serum was quickly conveyed to Fudge, who approved it without hesitation.

The Auror Office, which had obtained approval, immediately prepared truth serum and sent it to Azkaban. After receiving the truth serum, the Aurors in Azkaban began to act according to their assigned tasks.

"Let's go too. The result this time is not bad. At least we are all alive and we have even been given a 'vacation'. You were complaining before that you didn't want to stay here any longer. Now your wish has come true."

Seeing their colleagues starting to get busy, the five people without wands also prepared to leave.

As the five people who had personally experienced this incident and who theoretically let the prisoner go due to improper guarding were not punished, they were directly approved for leave by Minister Fudge on the spot for a full ten days, and it was clearly stated that it might be extended depending on the situation.

The reason why there was no punishment was mainly due to the precious nature of the Aurors themselves. As the Ministry of Magic's signature armed force, the Aurors were the Ministry's absolute reliance in maintaining its rule.

However, due to the dangerous nature of Aurors and the high standards for recruitment, the number of Aurors has never been large, so for the Ministry of Magic, every Auror is a treasure.

Not to mention that four out of the five are senior Auror elites who have been in office for many years and are the elite force of the Auror Office.

As for why there was a vacation, except for the young Auror who had little experience, the other four Aurors knew it clearly.

Although this time it is called a vacation, it is actually a restriction in essence. The four of them are aware of how big and how bad this incident is, and as actual participants, their words can be said to be the most credible.

Therefore, any information they say about the matter will inevitably be considered the most credible, which means that if they continue to work, they must be careful in what they say and do.

But people are not machines. Prolonged and high-intensity mental tension will only backfire. If they accidentally say something they shouldn't, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, it is precisely because of this that Fudge directly approved long vacations for them, and also emphasized that he would decide whether to extend the vacations depending on the situation later.

This is a direct and clear message to them all to mind their mouths, go home and keep quiet, and not discuss this matter with anyone.

After all, as long as they don't speak out, everything will be based on the announcements from the top of the Ministry of Magic.

This kind of thing is not easy to say out loud, but as the four elderly people, there is no need to say it out loud, and they have no objection to this arrangement.

To be honest, Fudge's arrangement is actually the best for them.

As for the young Auror who hasn't figured it out yet, the four of them will explain and warn him on the way back.

...............................................

The five people were quickly picked up by a carriage sent by the Ministry of Magic. The Aurors who remained in Azkaban also quickly obtained some information about Locke from the Dementors and the remaining five prisoners on Locke's floor.

As the only Death Eater still on the top floor, Bella was quickly discovered by the Aurors.

Bella's appearance surprised all the Aurors. They didn't know why this crazy woman didn't escape from prison with them.

However, this is undoubtedly a good thing for the Aurors. From the information they received from the five people downstairs, the Aurors learned that Locke Cazier had been coming to the top floor frequently for a long time. Bella, who was imprisoned on the top floor, must know more.

A standard dose of truth serum was poured into Bella's mouth. Under the Auror's tactics, Bella had no chance of fighting back and could only swallow it obediently, then spit out everything in her heart.

It's a pity that in response to the Auror's questioning, Bella didn't give out even a little useful information. Even when the Auror asked Bella if she knew Locke Cazier, she answered without hesitation that she didn't know him.

Why is this happening? Did Bella betray Voldemort? That's impossible.

The reason why Bella didn't know anything was because Locke cast a forgetfulness spell on her before leaving, completely erasing all memories of himself from her mind.

Since he was preparing to do something big, Locke would naturally not be so careless. He knew that Bella knew a lot but still kept it for her.

Although Locke was not going to take Bella's life because of Rodolphus and the others, her memory must not be kept.

Bella, who had no memory of herself, would not be a problem even if she was not killed. She would not be of any value to the enemy.

As for the possibility that Bella's memory might be restored, as an expert in the mind and soul, there is absolutely no possibility of recovery due to the forgetfulness spell cast by Locke, because his erasure of memory starts from the soul and mind level.

It's not that Locke looks down on the British Ministry of Magic. It's mainly because the technology in the original book can't even restore the Longbottoms to restore Bella's memory. Isn't that just like an African native trying to repair an aircraft carrier with only a piece of steel plate left?

Looking at Bella who knew nothing, the Aurors quickly confirmed that her memory had been erased and immediately escorted her out of Azkaban. After leaving a team behind to take over the work of the previous five people, they quickly took Bella back to the Ministry of Magic to try to restore her memory.

Although no one has any information, Bella is now the only breakthrough. The fact that her memory has been erased also means that she must know something she shouldn't know.

Fudge was excited by what the Auror brought back. He immediately dispatched people and insisted that something must be dug out.

At the same time, the Auror team that returned to the Ministry of Magic reported to Fudge the information they had obtained from the Dementors and the five people on the same floor as Locke.

Fudge fell silent again after receiving the new information. Looking at the paragraphs in the report such as "the target has the means to effectively kill Dementors", "can completely ignore the attacks of Dementors", and "proficient in meteorological spells", he finally chose traditional skills.

On that day, all news about the Death Eaters' collective escape from prison and Locke Casirill were completely blocked under Fudge's arrangement.

Except for the people who handled the matter, other members of the Ministry of Magic were basically unaware of it. At the same time, Fudge also issued a ban among those who knew about it, prohibiting the spread of discussion on the matter.

Fudge's idea was very simple. Since the situation couldn't get any worse, he would just play it safe and keep the quilt for as long as possible. Anyway, the right of interpretation was in his hands.

He would use the time before the thunder to prepare, and when the escaped Death Eaters and Locke showed up to cause trouble, he would announce it.

Anyway, when the time comes, they can just change the time of the Death Eaters' escape, and then take out the preparations made in advance to let the people see the Ministry of Magic's ability to act and reaction speed.

As for solving the problem, Fudge had never even thought about it. Judging from the current intelligence, Locke Casimir was not someone the Ministry of Magic could touch.

But after a day of thinking, Fudge was not so panicked anymore. If the sky fell, he would stand up to it. He believed in Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix.

As for what he needs to do, it is naturally to be well prepared and do his best to maintain the Ministry of Magic after the incident broke out, mainly to maintain his own majestic image, and let the people know through public opinion that he has tried his best, but there is no other way, because the opponent is a legendary wizard of Dumbledore's level.

After the storm had passed, he would promptly take action and, through newspaper opinion, fabricate and publicize some of the great efforts and contributions he had made to the resistance.

In that case, not only might the situation change, with results that are very different from the shocking results announced now, but if he handles it well, he might even be able to turn a bad situation into a good one and gain a good reputation.

"Then re-election is completely secure."

Fudge was very satisfied with his wise and brave decision, and felt very contented sitting in his office.

So, two days passed peacefully. On the morning of the third day after the prison break, Locke stood at the entrance of Diagon Alley and walked through the doorway with a puzzled look on his face. He wondered why no wanted warrant had been issued. After reaching his position, he turned around and walked into the entrance of Knockturn Alley on the right.
