Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 250: Undercurrent surging
Shawn, who was far away in Nurmengard, learned of the news that night.
His father, Alan Wallup, had been the victim of a magical animal hazard accident. Fortunately, the second parasitic Gorgon was pulled out after only half a day in Alan's body, causing no terrible accidents - except that the steaks that night were all cold.
A wizard named Geller Jennings also apologized to Sean in the message sent back. He was the one who discovered and reported the first parasitic Big Mouth monster to the Ministry of Magic, but he didn't notice the hidden second one when it parasitized into Allen's body.
Shawn didn't blame the other party for this. He had also learned about the parasitic Big Mouth Monster before. This magical animal, which is native to southern France, is really difficult to find in the link of concealed parasitism.
I heard that the Ministry of Magic is worried that there will be a third and fourth. The Department of Management and Control of Magical Beasts, the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, and the Department of International Magical Cooperation have all dispatched a large number of wizards to deal with this situation.
Of course, this is not what Sean needs to care about now. He needs to figure out whether his father was involved in this accident. Was it an accident or someone was deliberately targeting...
Dangerous magical animals that are specialties in France are too clear in direction, and everyone will suspect Fabian Aiken at the first time.
"Sean, your letter." The next day, Hermione who walked into the classroom from outside handed over a letter.
"Thank you very much." Sean quickly opened the letter and checked it.
Father Alan received a more detailed examination, and his body has fully recovered. His family, including the maid and driver, have also been checked, and no parasitism occurred.
Sean was a little relieved, and continued to check the next content.
He wrote back and asked his father to record the itinerary of the last few days and the detailed information of the first parasitized person, Bertrand Barnes, in order to deduce some useful information from it.
Hermione leaned over to him and read the letter together. After reading all the information, both of them frowned.
"From the point of view of the information, that Mr. Barnes is just an innocent victim, and he and Mr. Wallop have no intersection in the past. He chose your hospital only because his medical insurance cooperates with your hospital and can reimburse part of the bill."
Shawn nodded: "My father's visit to the hospital is a monthly routine. It should be easy to investigate but the time is not fixed... If it is aimed at my family, the instigator can't control Mr. Barnes to meet my father when he goes to the hospital."
Hermione spread her hands: "The most important thing is that if you want to deal with your family, the wizard doesn't have to choose such a winding way. Even if it's for concealment, Mr. Barnes himself has nothing special. The murderer can definitely choose your father's colleagues or other people who are close to you."
Shawn thought for a moment, then held his chin and said, "It seems that it is indeed just an accident... But what is the purpose of the instigator to smuggle in the parasitic Big Mouth Monster? After absorbing enough energy, this thing will break open the abdomen of humans to find a hiding place to breed. This kind of accident can easily attract the attention of the Ministry of Magic. Although it is troublesome, it can still be dealt with..."
"Maybe it's to disrupt the current situation, maybe the outflow of the parasitic Big Mouth was an accident, such as being accidentally escaped by smuggling..." Hermione analyzed various possibilities beside her.
"In order to disrupt the current situation, the parasitic big mouth monster is not strong enough... Chimeras and fire dragons may perform better... It is indeed possible to smuggle illegal magical animals, but the resale value of the parasitic big mouth monster is not high...It's a bit strange..." Sean always felt that something was not right.
Discussing with Hermione for a while did not yield any results, and Sean always had a strange premonition.
Are there too many things recently...
Shaun, who was a little restless, sent a signal through the Dark Mark, and planned to hold another party this weekend to see if he could get some useful information from the Death Eaters.
However, the next day he read a piece of news from the newspaper.
"Herbert Bock, head of the British Ministry of Magic-Magical Beast Management and Control Department-Herbert Bock Committee, was arrested. It is reported that in the parasitic Big Mouth monster incident in London, Herbert Bock undertook a disgraceful task and was investigated for illegal acts of using his position many times in the past two decades..."
On the cover of The Wizarding World, a middle-aged man with a hazy face and wrinkled skin is being controlled by two Aurors.
Shawn frowned.
He knew that this Herbert Burke came from the Burke family in the pure-blood family, and was related to the boss of Burkin Burke. He inherited his grandfather's name, and that old Herbert Burke was Phineas Black's son-in-law.
During several subsequent contacts with Bella, Bella told Sean that Herbert Burke was one of the members who could be recruited. The other party was also a pure-blood, and his status as the chairman of the Committee for Handling Dangerous Animals could also help the Death Eaters.
However, the other party is tactful and cautious, and it takes slow contact to develop him into a Death Eater.
This person was actually arrested...
The news did not report in detail the specific illegal behavior of Herbert Bork, but at the end it was mentioned that the other party's behavior may require staying in Azkaban for several years.
This is unreasonable... Sean muttered.
The British Ministry of Magic is actually quite corrupt, and members of pure-blood families often possess considerable power and wealth. According to Bella's description of his character, this Herbert Burke is absolutely willing to use Gallon to buy the Ministry of Magic.
Is the Ministry of Magic so resolute and upright now... What's more, Fudge is facing layoffs, and the pure-blood family is the object he urgently needs to win over...
However, the development of the situation is more strange than Sean expected.
In the next few days, the newspapers began to report the illegal incidents of wizards in various countries, and the whole of Europe was involved.
Members of a pure-blood family in Bulgaria were imprisoned after being investigated for an old case of attacking Muggles years ago.
The director of the International Magic Cooperation Department of the Italian Ministry of Magic was dismissed due to his negligence. He is the head of a pure-blood family in Italy.
It was exposed that an ancient Greek family illegally brewed banned potions many years ago, and the Greek Ministry of Magic arrested more than a dozen family members at once.
This kind of news came one after another, and wizards were arrested almost every day, and all of these wizards came from pure-blood families without exception.
For a while, half-blood wizards and Muggle-born wizards from all over the world were very excited. In their view, this was a harbinger of reform in the wizarding world-you must know that before, those pure-blood wizards would not suffer much punishment even if they violated the law. In most cases, they were just fined.
And those wizards who are upright and iron-blooded to enforce the law have also begun to appear in the newspapers, Sayaf Badley from Bulgaria, Lindsay Bizarre from Italy, Yasmin Kalaiannis from Greece...
These people have become heroes in the eyes of ordinary wizards, and there are waves of voices, most of which hope that these people will get more powerful positions, so as to ensure the fairness and justice of law enforcement.
Looking at it this way, it is indeed an encouraging thing. In today's wizarding world, purebloods have too much say, and the arrest of those wizards who rely on their power to do all kinds of bad things does represent a good start.
However, Sean always feels that these things are not right, and the spokespersons of the Ministry of Magic of various countries rarely express their opinions on such incidents, and most of them are perfunctory in their official statements.
The students in the school didn't think so much, and the mixed-race students who accounted for the majority were excited by this. Once the situation where the pure-bloods controlled the right to speak was broken, they could get more respect and fairness after graduation.
For a while, because of these news, the atmosphere in Nurmengard was extremely warm.
…
On the weekend night, outside Malfoy Manor, Grindelwald put Sean down again.
"Sir," Sean didn't go immediately, but looked at the old man who had started to disappear beside him, "Have you read the recent news?"
The fading of Grindelwald's figure stopped, and he blinked at Sean: "Feel something wrong?"
"Yes, sir, too often, and don't pure-blood families rebound a bit?"
"Of course there are backlashes, but official organizations like the Ministry of Magic, no matter how corrupt and shameless they are, must do their job well on the scene."
"You mean, those arrested lawbreakers cannot retract their confessions?" Sean asked with a frown.
"That's right, the matter has been put under the sun. If those people are not arrested, the voice of the people is enough to make the Minister of Magic laid off."
"What about the other pure-blood families? Most of them are a community of interests. If you don't work hard at this time, won't it be when it's their turn?"
Grindelwald smiled instead: "Their interests conflict with yours, Shaun, shouldn't you be happy?"
"They should indeed be arrested," Sean spread his hands, "but there are obviously bigger shadows behind, and the influence is likely to expand by then, and the current situation in the wizarding world cannot be solved by arresting one or two illegal pure-blood wizards. This situation will definitely require long-term reform. Rushing too fast will make things worse, right?"
"I'm glad you can realize this. You have at least learned to think maturely—but, I have to say..." Grindelwald imitated his actions and spread his hands, "Although I am strong, I am not a god, and I cannot consider the cause and consequence of everything. This kind of thing often takes a lot of time to investigate to find the truth, just like what you will do when you walk into that room later."
"Indeed, I seem to be a little too anxious, and things only showed a little clue." Sean laughed dumbly.
"The wheel of history is slowly rolling, Sean, learn to be the person who controls the direction of the wheel." Grindelwald smiled and disappeared in place.
The person who controls the direction... Sean muttered to himself.
He shrugged with a smile, and walked towards Malfoy Manor.
When he walked to the door, Xiao En's expression became gloomy and indifferent again. He waved his sleeve, and it turned into black smoke and flew into the living room.
In the living room, the Death Eaters were already sitting in danger. They were discussing the recent affairs with their companions in low voices. When the smoke rushed into the living room, everyone shut their mouths and lowered their heads slightly.
The black smoke rushed to the first seat, and then turned into Xiao En's original appearance.
"It's on time today... my friends." Sean smiled and stretched out his hands.
The Death Eaters put their hands on their chests together and lowered their heads: "I obey your call, my lord Dark Lord."
"Let's be casual, don't be so nervous——"
Several Death Eaters swallowed their saliva, Antonin Dolohov, who was reduced to ashes at the last gathering, was still vividly remembered. They dare not say that they fully understand the terrifying man sitting at the head, but one thing is very clear - if the Dark Lord is not happy, then someone at the scene must be in trouble.
Looking at the trembling and startled crowd, Xiao En smiled and said nothing more. He stroked the head of the bird snake comfortably, and said slowly: "Let's talk about the recent things."
"Yes." Everyone nodded, and Bella stood up first.
She feels that she is in a very good state recently, the great master has returned, and he trusts herself more and more - in those few private contacts, she can even hear the intimacy when the other party calls her name.
Isn't this feeling what she dreams of?
Bella bowed respectfully. She was dressed very grandly today. Sean could see the glittering jewel embellishments on the other party's linen top hat when she bent down.
"Master, what you ordered me to do has been proceeding smoothly, but the person I mentioned to you last time?" She showed a questioning look.
Sean knew that the other party was talking about Herbert Burke, so he nodded to signal the other party to continue.
"Bork has been arrested, and the progress of absorbing him as a member of us has been interrupted."
"Well, tell me about the charges he was arrested on."
"Barty should understand more in detail."
Sean looked at Little Barty: "My friend, it's up to you."
"Yes, master." Little Barty looked at Bella gratefully ~IndoMTL.com~ excited for the opportunity to express himself.
Bella smiled slightly. There was not much expression on her beautiful face. She had already gained the complete trust of her master. It would not be a bad idea to give this opportunity of performance to another Death Eater who was equally loyal to her master.
Jr. Barty quickly said: "I wasn't there when Bock was arrested, but I knew all about the situation. During the investigation, the Aurors found something strange about the physical magic of the parasitic big mouth monster—every time this creature parasitizes a person, it will leave a mark of that person, and Bock hurriedly wanted to take the animal away for disposal.
"During the period of Bork's investigation, there were continuous reports of illegal acts during his tenure. There were so many people in the interrogation room at that time, even if Bork wanted to buy back his freedom with Garen, Fudge couldn't help."
"Who is the whistleblower?"
"An Auror has received a report, which is anonymous, but it is true."
