Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1457 Frightened

Since this matter has been brought up to the meeting of the International Federation of Wizards by Babajide, naturally we can no longer continue to deal with it as perfunctorily as usual, otherwise we will not be worthy of the position under their buttocks.

  No, it should be said that if this matter were to be known to wizards all over Europe and even the world, they would have to get rid of their positions with countless infamy.

 So, they need to do something.

 As for how to solve the problems in the British wizarding community, it is up to the people here to decide.

In order to prevent themselves from falling behind the truth, the International Federation of Wizards formed an investigation team at an alarming speed and secretly sneaked into the UK to investigate the authenticity of the things Babajid mentioned at the meeting.

This matter is of great importance, and it is naturally impossible for everyone to believe other people's one-sided words.

Of course, sending people to the UK to investigate is also intended to delay time.

This time, I don’t know how much time is spent on the investigation and summary, not to mention the need to find people who resist the organization, which is even more difficult.

God knows how long that investigative team will take.

 However, the whole thing went more smoothly than they expected.

The British land was completely undefended, and it was actually allowed to be easily infiltrated by a few French Aurors disguised as dark wizards.

 In other words, step into this land openly.

The three of them took the lead to go to Diagon Alley, the most famous place in Britain, trying to peek at what was happening in this land from that once prosperous trading street.

 “Oh, damn, it’s such a mess in here.”

  A younger wizard looked at the crowded stalls in Diagon Alley and couldn't help but complain.

“The messier the better, I just don’t know if we can make any money here.”

Victor Hugo, the team leader, skillfully helped his colleagues cover up inappropriate comments.

They stopped in front of a stall selling contraband, picked up the unicorn on the stall and looked at it carefully. After asking about the price, they put the unicorn back on the stall as if it was too expensive and continued in Diagon Alley. Continue to wander around, occasionally stopping to chat with the stall owner and get some news.

Although the three of them had been told to put their own safety first before coming to the UK, as an Auror with professional ethics, Victor Hugo still hated the group of dark wizards in front of him. If France encountered him, he would have to arrest him and give him a severe fine.

 “This place is about to become the lair of dark wizards.”

 “No, it’s already the dark wizard’s lair.”

What shocked the three of them the most was the Leaky Cauldron at the entrance to Diagon Alley, where someone was actually invited to rob.

Over the past few days, the French Auror trio had a completely new understanding of the British wizarding world today.

 The wizards here live in dire straits and have to worry about being robbed by dark wizards at any time.

Although there is no shortage of resisters in this land, the so-called wizard lookout station broadcast was regarded as a joke by the dark wizards.

In order to avoid exposing their identities, the three of them decided to change their disguises and go to a Muggle restaurant to dine and discuss their next actions.

The situation in the British wizarding world is undoubtedly worse than they expected. There are a large number of dark wizards here, so it is no wonder that there is such chaos.

  But it is obviously impossible to help Britain deal with the current mess.

Victor Hugo is not in the habit of helping others fight life and death, not to mention that there is still a famous Dark Lord in the UK who has not yet been solved.

That is the biggest trouble.

From the perspective of the three of them, as long as Voldemort can be eliminated, the chaos in Britain will naturally be solved, but this is obviously not what outsiders like them should do.

 After all, no one wants to die.

 The mission they were given before coming to England: to investigate the land and make an assessment, not to eliminate the mysterious man.

“It’s been less than a year since Dumbledore died. It’s really hard to believe that Britain has become what it is now.”

While eating fried potatoes, the three of them lamented the great changes in Britain.

“I’m actually more curious about what the British Ministry of Magic is thinking, actually allowing the situation to fester like this. Are all their Aurors scared out of their wits?”

 “Especially in that **** foggy day outside, I actually saw a dementor.”

 After seeing the dementors flying over their heads, the three of them had the idea of ​​​​leaving England.

 “Yes, they surrendered.”

A hoarse voice suddenly sounded in their ears. The three of them were startled by the voice and suddenly raised their wands and pointed in the direction of the sound. “Don’t get excited, I don’t mean any harm.”

Under the stunned expressions of the three of them, a middle-aged man with brown hair sat down at the table and introduced himself with a smile: "Kingsley, Kingsley Shacklebolt."

 “How did you find us?”

Victor was surprised by the appearance of this guy in front of him. They should have been very secretive when they came to the UK, but why did the other guy come to the door on his own?

"Mr. Anderson told me that he is a great master of prophecy, and it is not particularly difficult to find you." Kingsley smiled and explained to the three of them, "I found you on the first day. It's a pity that I couldn't find the right one." I have no chance of contact, so I delayed coming to see you until now."

These words undoubtedly frightened the three of them, but the biggest problem right now is how to get more help from the International Federation of Wizards through the three people in front of them.

 “Mr. Anderson, master of prophecy?”

 The three of them looked at each other with confusion on their faces, obviously they had never heard of Albert's surname.

 Generally, a guy who can be called a master of prophecy should be very famous, but Albert is obviously an exception.

 As for doubt?

The guy in front of me has appeared on his own, so the possibility of the other person lying is not high, because there is no need to do that.

“Mr. Anderson is still very young, so it’s normal that you haven’t heard of him.”

"very young?"

"Yes, younger than you think. Come with me first, I will take you to find the villages destroyed by Death Eaters and the hidden army of Inferi." Kingsley stood up from his seat, He turned his head and asked, "You came to England to verify the authenticity of the information in my letter, right?"

 “Yes, I was shocked to be honest.”

 “Why is Britain the way it is now?”

The youngest wizard among the three couldn't help but ask, "What on earth is your Ministry of Magic doing?"

"Ever since the last Minister of Magic, Scrimgeour, chose to fight the mysterious man in order to save the lives of the Aurors, the entire Ministry of Magic has been controlled by Death Eaters." Kingsley glanced at the wizard and laughed at himself, " I know you want to say that Scrimgeour was stupid for what he did, but there was no choice, either Scrimgeour died, or everyone fought with You-Know-Who and his minions and died together. Scrimgeour chose the former, and he was a Amazing guy."

“It’s really amazing, many people can’t do it.” Victor said with emotion.

“But those Aurors who were rescued did not continue to resist the mysterious man as expected. Instead, they lost the courage to continue resisting and surrendered to the mysterious man. Only a very small number of Aurors bravely stood up to resist the mysterious man.”

The three of them were silent. The situation in Britain was worse than they thought. It had almost become the home of dark wizards.

 This is definitely a bad sign.

 “Those cowards, this is a naked betrayal.”

“Yes, but how could Scrimgeour have thought that his sacrifice would be betrayal?” Kingsley laughed at himself.

"Of course, the situation is not that bad. We have united those brave people and have a strong resistance force, but we are still unable to fight against the mysterious people and prevent them from killing innocent Muggles, so we need International Confederation of Wizards’ help.”

 Next, Kingsley and his colleagues described the dire situation in Britain in detail, taking them to villages destroyed by Death Eaters and letting them see with their own eyes the poor Muggles who had been turned into inferi.

"Currently, we know that dozens of villages have been transformed into this state by Death Eaters. Once the winter passes, it is impossible for those Muggles to not notice it." Kingsley reluctantly named another person who asked the International Federation of Wizards for help. reason.

 “Didn’t you try to stop it?”

"Yes, more than once, but the effect was not great. They even used this to ambush us. For this reason, we had to give in temporarily." Kingsley said helplessly, "As early as a few months ago, we asked the International Federation of Wizards I mentioned this matter, but they never paid attention to it, and now they have finally sent you here.”

After Kingsley sighed in his heart about the wonderful effect of the Felixir, he did not forget to try his best to fool the group of people in front of him.

No matter what, foreign wizards must be deceived. Only in this way can the attention of those dark wizards be diverted.

This is actually not a lie, the dark wizard is indeed very cruel.

　　A lot of crimes have been committed in this land.

 “Do you think this is really useful?”

After Kingsley sent the three members of the investigation team away, Sirius' figure appeared out of thin air. Looking at their leaving figures, he said, "They seemed to be 'scared'."

"I don't know, but we do need more help." Kingsley said softly, "Even if it's just to distract the Death Eaters from staring at those poor Muggles."

If he were not afraid of trapping them to death, Kingsley would actually like to take them on a tour under the eyes of the Death Eaters so that they can learn more about the Death Eaters.

However, before Kingsley could start planning this insidious plan, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the three people seemed to be in trouble.
