It was already dusk in the afternoon, and the sunset around the sky shone golden in autumn near Hogwarts...
At this time, on the side of the three broom bars west of Hogsmeade Village and a remote pasture a mile south of Hogsmeade Station, a large group of Aurors from the Ministry of Magic and the North American Magic French Society across the Atlantic Ocean were already surrounded by the place.
They each held the wands in their hands tightly and slowly approached the sneaky and desperate illegal wizards in their encirclement.
However, they did not rush to take action because the person in charge of their operation had not arrived yet, so they were still waiting for the final order... However, if the other party resisted stubbornly, they would definitely not be polite to the other party.
Whoosh~!
While the Aurors were holding their wands and threatening the wizards, finally, behind them, a cloud of mist that looked like a black shadow suddenly flashed, and another wand was holding a wand, with tear-brown hair and thick eyebrows mixed with gray, looking like an old lion's phantom moved to the periphery, and walked quickly towards the encirclement with great strides.
‘Sir!’
‘The goods have been seized and confirmed, and they are all in the carriage with the markless extension spell, including the precious thunderbirds, without any defect!’
After seeing the visitor, two Aurors rushed towards each other quickly and reported in an emergency.
‘…’
‘Where are those guys? Are they in front??’
However, the Auror leader, who was like an old lion, did not want to care about the magical animals. He only cared about the group of black wizards who were caught by his Aurors who were willing to capture wild magical animals for their own selfish interests.
‘Yes, sir!’
‘They are right in front, and we are all blocking it!’
'snort!'
‘Where is that buyer? Didn’t catch him?!’
‘Sorry, we didn’t find the buyer, we just caught a guy who was coming to the joint…’
‘…’
‘Let’s go! Come and take a look!’
'yes!'
When Rufus Sclinger of the Aurors' office used the phantom to move to the scene and listened to the suggestions of the two Aurors who had been waiting for a long time, he explained the situation clearly in a few words, and they all moved forward together and rushed towards the crowd ahead.
In fact, the Aurors have been staring at this small group of wizards for a while...
They kept setting up control and followed the other party to the outside of Hogwarts Magic School, and finally closed the net until they found out that the other party was in contact with an unknown person, gathering the group of transnational smuggling crime wizard groups and buyers here.
But what the Aurors unexpectedly was that they did not seem to be the extremely sinful illegal buyer they wanted to arrest, but it seemed to be just some of the joints of the group of smugglers?
Therefore, when they found that they had already alerted the snake and were exposed, some helpless Aurors had to bite the bullet and continue their actions, intending to arrest the group of wizards in front of them who were planning to resist, and then try to use potions such as spitting agents to get other things they wanted to know from the other party's mouth.
‘Listen to the wizard inside, you are surrounded by us!’
‘Let down the wand in your hands immediately. We have more than a hundred Aurors here. No matter how stubborn you resist, it is useless. It is still too late to disarm now!’
‘I would like to remind you: the 'Phantom Movement' in this small area has been banned, you will definitely not be able to escape, surrender quickly!!’
An Auror from the Ministry of Magic was doing routinely, calling out to the surrounding illegal wizards who were surrounded by them, who were curled up back to back and forth, hiding in their black robe hoods and unable to see their appearance.
The fact is just like he said, the Floor Network nearby has been closed, and the Phantom Movement has been restricted by their Auror's special spell. Even their Auror's office director can only move Phantom Movement in the distance and walk over, so those who are surrounded by them must have no way to escape, and there will be no more choices except surrendering to them.
‘…’
‘…’
However,
At this time, the wizards surrounded by the middle just looked at each other, and they just looked at me and I looked at you, and there was no such thing as trying to deal with it or surrender.
Obviously, they seem to be hesitating or have some concerns? Of course, it is also possible that they still intend to resist stubbornly and have no awareness of surrendering at all?
‘!!’
‘Take them off and get rid of your weapons!!’
Seeing that those guys were not ready to surrender under such circumstances, looking at the carriage they seized by the Stairs in the distance, Rufus Sclinger, the director of the Aurors' office, directly raised his wand and cast a disarm curse at the guys surrounded by them in the middle.
Because judging from the reports from his two subordinates just now, it is not difficult for him to guess: their operation today may have failed... Even if they blocked the guys in front of them, even if they could capture the other party alive, they would definitely not be able to get more valuable information from the other party. Even if they use real-life sperm agents in violation of regulations, they would probably not have more practical significance.
‘Destroy your weapons!’
‘Destroy your weapon!!’
With Rufus Sclinger's bold move, his men naturally spurted red beams of light from the head of their staff, instantly hitting the illegal wizards surrounded, and instantly knocked out the wands in the hands of the timid guys...
'snort!'
‘Catch them and take them back!!’
After many days of arrangements, Rufus Sclinger was definitely not satisfied with this result. So, in a bad mood, he waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to come forward and packed all the wizards who were easily disarmed and the other party's magic wands. If you have any questions, you can wait until you return to the Ministry of Magic before interrogating them slowly?
‘Damn it!’
‘Damn it!!’
‘!!’
‘??νaeμπ??δio!!’
Suddenly, just as the Aurors received the order and stepped forward to issue a coma spell at the disarmed illegal wizards, one of the wizards who had just been disarmed actually cast a staffless spell, directly cast a barrier spell that had just been transmitted by Hogwarts a few days ago, and directly blocked the two coma spells?!
‘Damn it!’
‘Staffless casting is carried out in places outside the Ministry of Magic, and smuggling precious magical animals, and arresting and resisting…’
‘There are three serious crimes in total. Are you guys planning to stay in Azkaban for the rest of your life?’
Unexpectedly, the weasel-like guys in front of him had someone who could master the fast rodless casting and the latest barrier spell? So, Rufus Sclinder once again raised the wand in his hand, preparing to forcibly break the other party's barrier shield and then give the other party a good look!
You should know that due to the management requirements of some wizards, the Ministry of Magic strictly prohibits any wizard from casting spells without a staff in places other than their own homes, Hogwarts Magic School or other specific areas, because that is not conducive to management?
‘Torn to pieces!’
‘Broken to pieces!!’
‘reducto!!!’
Spells were shouted out from the mouths of the Aurors, and soon, a strong light suddenly burst out from the head of their staff. Several spells instantly slammed the golden shield that cast the barrier spell and protected the people together in a cold manner from all around.
After verification by the Aurors, no wizard's barrier or magic level can withstand the attack of three shattering curse, especially without the blessing of the magic wand? Therefore, including the leader of the Aurors, Rufus Sclinger, they will never believe that the barrier that protects several illegal wizards during the period can withstand their attacks.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several spells that were broken into pieces flashed, and instantly hit the golden shield, then instantly broke through the barrier shield, and bombarded the wizards who were squeezing inside, seemingly trying to escape!
Boom~!!
‘!!’
‘???’
‘…’
‘Where did they go? They were blown up?!’
‘No, no flesh and blood…’
‘They ran away?’
After several spells that were broken into pieces exploded and lifted countless soils away, soon, the officials of the Ministry of Magic and Aurors around them, and even the guests coming from the other side of the ocean could only look at each other and silently look at the pit surrounded by them...
Because, they had inexplicably lost the prisoners they had tracked for many days. After mobilizing and deploying them for many days, they had nothing but a large pit and a carriage full of smuggled precious magical animals?
‘This is impossible! We have set up anti-phantom shifting spells and related arrangements nearby! Find them out for me quickly!’
'yes!'
‘Hurry! Use the exoteric curse!’
‘Observe the ground!’
‘Report! No discovery…’
‘Go over there!’
‘Report! There is no here either!’
‘….’
A group of Aurors began to search in their encirclement like headless flies, without letting go of any inch of land or any item that could be used. Unfortunately, they searched for a long time but found nothing...
‘Report to the sir!’
‘We have found nothing, the prisoners have confirmed to have escaped successfully. What should we do now?’
After checking around for a long time, I found that the suspects were indeed no longer there, and they were definitely not invisible or hidden by other methods, an Auror could only walk to their superiors and ask.
‘Damn it!’
‘Hmph! I always feel that this matter should be inseparable from Hogwarts…’
Amid the hatred, Rufus Sclinger turned his head and looked at the huge castle located opposite the railway and lake in the northeast.
The dark wizards traveled thousands of miles to smuggle goods here, not elsewhere, and were strangely missing under the noses of so many of them. If this matter has nothing to do with Hogwarts, no one would believe it if he said it?
'go!'
‘Send some people to act as Crouch’s assistant and go in and check it out!!’
Such a big thing, and with the presence of the Aurors in other countries, Rufus Sclinger would definitely not give up so easily, because this is related to their British Ministry of Magic's face, and he would never give up!
However, it is obviously unrealistic to go directly to Hogwarts, because Dumbledore would never allow it, and Minister Foggy did not dare to disobey Dumbledore's wishes, so now they can only use the matter of the Triumph to secretly investigate.
'yes!'
‘Please rest assured, we will arrange it as soon as possible…’
——————————
When the Aurors packed their things in despair and were about to leave, further north of the Hogwarts Forest, in a secret place, the wizards suddenly appeared and fell to the ground together, and then they all let out a cry of pain...
“…”
(ー`??ー)
"You guys are really useless... I've been waiting for you for so many days, and you didn't even say that you were late, but you couldn't even do a little bit of things well, and they were almost caught by the Aurors?"
e=(??vev????)))Ph!
Anne didn't want to save these "illegal and disciplined" guys, but thinking that the other party might confess and cause some unnecessary trouble, she had to take action at critical moments and teleport these unlucky guys here in an instant.
'ah……'
'she is……'
‘Yes, was she saving us?’
‘We are really saved? Oh! Merlin bless…’
‘Shut up!’
At this time, before the extremely embarrassed wizards continued to say something, the man in front of them sternly scolded them.
"I'm sorry, professor..."
"We have tried our best. We thought the Ministry of Magic would not arrive so soon. We wanted to fight them with a time difference, but we didn't expect..."
They had actually known about being stared at by the people of the Ministry of Magic for a long time, but they thought they could hand over the goods to the little girl in front of them before they closed the net and grabbed them, and then they could escape in advance and plan to take risks. They would also expect that they were blocked by a crazy woman, which made the plan make a mistake at the last moment?
After saying that, the leading guy glared at the crazy woman who was slowly standing up beside him.
Although the other party is his acquaintance, he usually has a lot of business dealings, and is also the subordinate of a terrible guy, he will definitely not be as kind as the guy who ruined his big deal.
“??”
Σ(⊙w⊙`)?
Annie had no idea what the other party was doing. Anyway, she only knew that this time the mission failed, and those guys seemed not as reliable as the other party promised before?
"But you don't need to worry. We will find a way to prepare this batch of goods, as long as you give us some time..."
However, before the man in front of him could finish his words, he saw the little girl waved at him impatiently.
"No!"
(lll￢w￢)
"I suddenly don't want those things anymore. If it's okay, you can go back!"
(??╭╮??)
Anne was never afraid of trouble, but she hated trouble. So, after hearing the previous conversation between the Aurors, she suddenly didn't want to play hide-and-seek games with a group of Aurors for those things, because next, she had to think about the subject 2 of the Three Thousands Championship so that she would not have time to mess with these useless guys again!
"ah?"
Unexpectedly, the other party actually planned to cancel the transaction directly, which made the wizard, who seemed to be the leader of this group of people, feel a little embarrassed.
"But……"
"Professor, your deposit..."
If an ordinary person dares to cancel the transaction directly to them within the time limit, they will definitely not refund even a deposit of Yinxike! However, they dare not do that with the little girl in front of him, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, not knowing whether he should contact his boss at this time.
After all, their boss may not be able to repay such a large order and those deposits. He knew that they had spent a lot of money for this action, so how could they just spit it out with just one sentence from the other party?
"Download?"
∑(??△)?!
"No! You can leave now. If you want to buy something, I will definitely go to you again!"
o(??^')o
Jin Jialong and other things, Annie never cared about her heart, so she waved her hand generously to finish the deal.
“…”
With such a large sum of money, this little girl actually said she didn’t want it?!
"As, as you wish..."
"So, Professor Anne, we're leaving now,?"
But soon, the man came to his senses and remembered some of the other party's deeds and the large gold Jialong who was said to have taken away from the Guling Pavilion not long ago. He nodded in relief, then nodded to his companions, and directly used the phantom without a stick to move, turning into black smoke and disappeared from the spot.
Of course, only the wizards who were escorting goods were left, while the witch who seemed not very popular before was stayed.
"Hello, Your Excellency Professor Anne?"
When I found that there was only me and that little girl here, the witch with fluffy curly hair finally spoke after saluting the little girl sitting on the stone with short legs shaking.
"Please allow me to introduce myself?"
"My name is Bellatrix Lestrange, who is from the Dark Lord, and I'm very happy to see Your Excellency..."
If it were an ordinary person, Bellatrix Lestrang would definitely not take it seriously. However, she could barely maintain a little respect for the little girl in front of her who had many brilliant achievements and achievements, and had just saved her and others from the noses of hundreds of Aurors.
However, in her heart, the other party seemed to be a little bit worse than her master?
"What do you want to do?"
(,,??▽??,,)?
Annie didn't understand what the guy in front of her who seemed very uncomfortable was trying to do?
You know, she is not in the mood to talk to the other party now, because the first subject of the Three Thousands Championship will begin tomorrow. As soon as the subject is over, the second subject, which Professor Anne is fully responsible for, will be put on the agenda. But she has not yet thought about what super interesting things to let the warriors do, and she has time to talk to the strange-looking aunt in front of her?
"certainly!"
"I am ordered to come and find you. There must be something important..."
In Bellatrix Lestrang's opinion, it is not easy to meet or contact the little girl in front of her, because she had sent two owls to secretly deliver letters to each other at night, but they all went without returning. Even she didn't know whether the other party received those letters?
So, there was no way, after learning from some channels that some of her "old friends" had certain connections and deals with the little girl, she uninvited to get into Hogsmeade, a place very close to Hogwarts Magic School, and finally met the other party.
"My master, Lord Dark Lord wants to see you, I wonder when you are free?"
Bellatrix Lestrange carefully approached the other party while showing a charming smile.
"Dark King..."
(????v??v??v???)
"oh!?"
(??????????)ha!
"You mean that Voldemort? He is not dead yet? But now, I'm not in the mood to see that guy, goodbye~!!"
??????(??????)??????Bye-Bye!
Voldemort or something, Little Anne said that she had burned the other person's soul to death two years ago? However, she never put that kind of small thing in her heart, and she didn't want to see another soul of the other person today in "two years" because she had more important things to do!
Just now, she suddenly had an idea and remembered what she was going to do in the subject 2 of the Three Thousand Championships she was responsible for. So, now she is very busy and has no time to meet the messy Dark King she didn't know!
(…)
(●￣(??)￣●)
Swish!!
"wait……"
Bellatrix Lesterlane had just reached out her hand, but she was helpless to find that the other party had disappeared in an instant in a blue light similar to a phantom movement, and she had no idea where she had run to...
