I swung a sword at Hogwarts

John, who came from Hogwarts, had an extra box in his hand which he opened, and the Dementors were pulled in.

One by one, the Dementors in Azkaban emptied visibly.

The magic crystals inlaid on the four sides of the box emitted light, and cracks appeared on the box.

As the last Dementor was loaded in, John's silver arms turned black, covering the entire box.

"I should be able to hold on until I get back."

With the box in his hand, John walked out of Azkaban.

The suffocating pressure made even the battle-hardened Aurors hold their breath.

Seeing him come out, Pierce hurriedly greeted him respectfully.

"Sir Johnny Silverhand."

John nodded slightly. Seeing that Pierce's eyes were fixed on his hands, he chuckled and said, "Tell Minister Crouch that I have taken the reward."

Pierce was stunned, thinking of something, and he lowered his head in awe.

"Sir, I'll take you back." Seeing John was about to leave, Pierce hurried over.

John chuckled and said, "No, I think I can be faster."

"Faster?" Pierce looked puzzled.

There is an anti-Apparition charm on this island, could it be a portkey?

Under Pierce's puzzled gaze, a huge figure fell from the sky.

"Zouwu!"

After the big cat Zouwu landed, Peony waved its big tail to clear the surroundings.

John jumped lightly and landed on Zou Wu.

Zouwu activated his transmission ability, let out a roar, and disappeared into the space channel.

Tang Mi was speechless as he watched his boss abandon him.

Without letting on, he said goodbye to Pierce.

The wizard from the Alchemy Workshop with Johnny Silverhand got on a carriage and left Azkaban.

...

John did not return to Hogwarts after leaving.

He arrived at Silver Hand Manor, and the noise made by the huge Zouwu falling attracted the security team.

John sent them away.

Zouwu spotted a Pu Rongrong in the lavender garden.

With the box in his hand about to break, John walked slowly past the room where the golden cup was locked.

John cut his palm and poured the blood into the dragon container.

Blood dripped into the container and the dragon's eyes turned red.

A door opened, revealing a dark place inside.

This is the cell he specially made.

Unbreakable room.

Inlaid with many magic crystals to form a magic magnetic field.

The black on his hand faded away, and the box containing the Dementors quickly collapsed, and countless Dementors poured out of it.

The magic magnetic field was activated and the Dementors were trapped.

At the same time, the darkness in the room turned into a sticky black thread. A Dementor was touched and his body was decomposed bit by bit.

It soon turned into a soul-like substance and was dragged into the watery black thread and sucked away.

The Dementors screamed in panic and John walked out of the room to see the dragon vomiting a soul into the container.

After a while, another soul was spit out.

He left a Soul-Eating Curse in the room, which would continuously refine the Dementors into souls.

With this room, he can harvest souls without having to do it himself.

After finishing everything, he closed the dragon container and left.

Before leaving, he stopped and looked at the Horcrux golden cup trapped in the container.

There was thought and surprise in his eyes.

Chapter 312: New Prison and Ministry of Magic Advisor

Some people were not optimistic about the expulsion of the Dementors.

They were all waiting to see how the Ministry of Magic would fill this gap.

Those in the know know what kind of predicament the Ministry of Magic is in now.

Dementors have always been working for free in Azkaban. They do not require any compensation for guarding the prisoners, and they can also serve as a deterrent to the prisoners.

But once the Dementors are gone, it means that such a huge Azkaban can only be guarded manually.

It will be a tricky thing when those prisoners recover, which means a lot of people will be needed to be sent back there.

The Ministry of Magic needs to expand its armed forces, and financial expenditures will also increase.

You know, the last time old Barty reorganized the Ministry of Magic, there were still some places where wages were in arrears.

Although the money was redistributed, it put the Ministry of Magic in a state of barely balanced state.

This situation will not improve until next year at the earliest.

We can't leave Azkaban unguarded during this period of time, right?

Sending Aurors there would leave the Ministry empty.

Either way, it would be a very difficult decision for the Ministry of Magic.

The employees at the Ministry of Magic who went to work today were somewhat absent-minded.

"Minister Crouch's expulsion of the Dementors is only the first step."

A woman wearing glasses was worried, she felt this was just the first step in layoffs.

"Your position is more important than mine."

An employee in the logistics department was equally concerned, as he felt that logistics would be the first department to be laid off.

As for the huge expenditure on Azkaban, they felt that they would eventually solve the pressure by laying off employees.

Safety inspectors rarely give up their grave-seeking state, for fear of receiving a layoff notice letter.

Green flames were burning in the fireplace.

Old Batty came out from inside, and almost everyone was working there at their best.

"Minister Crouch, Dumbledore is waiting for you in his office." The security inspector reported with a flattering smile.

Old Batty paused, then nodded with a stern face.

He met Percy who was doing some work in the elevator. Percy wanted to talk but hesitated. Finally, he couldn't help asking, "Minister Crouch, about the new guard of Azkaban."

"That matter has been resolved," said Old Barty, who still attached great importance to Percy. He softened his tone and said, "There is also a better solution for fiscal expenditure."

Percy looked serious and nodded to show that he understood.

The elevator reached its destination and Percy stepped out, saying respectfully, "I think I can tell them to stop worrying so much."

Old Batty nodded to indicate that he could tell it.

Arriving at the Minister's office, Barty Sr. saw Dumbledore, who had not been seen for some time.

"Dumbledore."

"Minister Crouch."

The atmosphere when the two met was not so tense.

For his part, Barty Sr. admired Dumbledore's calmness after giving up power.

As long as Dumbledore didn't come and ask for some power back, he was willing to give respect to the White Lord of the wizarding world.

"Regarding Dementors," Dumbledore brought up the subject after some small talk. "What is Minister Crouch going to do about it?"

He wanted to remind old Barty not to be careless. Even though he had lost his position as the guard of Azkaban, the Dementors were still dangerous.

In response, Old Batty said: "I believe that Sir Johnny Silverhand will have a better way to deal with it."

"Johnny Silverhand?" Dumbledore was stunned. "What does this have to do with him?"

As soon as he asked the question, there was a knock on the door.

"Minister Crouch, reporters are here."

Dumbledore thought it was just a simple report, but he was wrong.

This is a grand press conference.

Two press conferences in one day.

"Minister Crouch, is it too hasty to expel the Dementors? Have you considered the follow-up measures after the Dementors leave?"

Rita Skeeter, who has a reputation for being sharp in the industry, asked pointedly.

Old Barty changed into a wizard robe for formal occasions and said solemnly, "After investigation, it was found that the Dementors had committed serious violations and had seriously endangered the safety of the wizarding world. I made this decision in order to ensure the defensiveness of Azkaban and protect the wizarding world."

"As for the follow-up, please trust the Ministry of Magic," Old Barty replied seriously, "After the unremitting efforts of the Ministry of Magic, this matter has been successfully resolved."

"We refitted Azkaban. On top of the original design, we introduced a new device, the magic loop, which is more effective than the Dementors."

"This device can effectively control the use of magic by prisoners and save the Ministry of Magic a lot of money at the same time."

"Saving money? Minister Crouch, in what specific areas?" asked Rita Skeeter.

Old Barty answered in an orderly manner: "The Ministry of Magic's Auror and Strikers' equipment requires a large amount of maintenance costs. The magic loop can concentrate the absorbed magic power and return it to the equipment, so as to replenish it independently, effectively saving the maintenance costs of the Auror and Strikers' equipment."

After saying that, Old Barty looked towards the camera, a smile broke out on his stern face and he said: "Here, the Ministry of Magic would like to thank Mr. Johnny Silverhand, the consultant of the Ministry of Magic, for his sponsorship, which has greatly saved the Ministry of Magic money."

This scene was recorded on camera.

Rather than increasing costs, removing the Dementors significantly reduced them.

This is a great political achievement, enough to enhance the reputation of the minister, Batti.

Along with Pierce, the head of the Auror Office, he also received a strong boost in his political career.

Those Ministry of Magic employees who were originally worried about being fired will be grateful to Pierce, as this sponsorship was obtained in the name of Pierce and old Barty.

By the time the press conference was over, Dumbledore knew why old Barty said that Johnny Silverhand would be able to deal with the Dementors.

He sold the Dementors to Johnny Silverhand.

This news shocked Dumbledore.

To him, this was not very good news.

He was secretly worried as to why John wanted to get the Dementors.

"John," he said to himself.

...

Interviews from various newspapers about the Ministry of Magic's reconstruction of Azkaban Prison and Minister Crouch's wise actions were quickly transmitted.

At the same time, at the press conference, Old Batty, on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, made Johnny Silverhand's identity as a consultant to the Ministry of Magic public for the first time.

No one knows the specific power of this Ministry of Magic consultant, but an insider revealed that Johnny Silverhand once participated in a Wizengamot trial.

Can this indirectly indicate that the Ministry of Magic advisers have the power to participate in trials and the legitimacy to join the Wizengamot?

The major opinions occupied almost an entire page of the Daily Prophet.

In the newspapers, the image of old Batty's smile was repeated over and over again under the flash lights.
