The Evil God of Hogwarts

Chapter 217 Stand still

Amelia Bones looked at the torch signal in the sky with a heavy face. Her deputy asked with some confusion: "Ms. Bones, should we send someone in?"

"No, wait a minute." The deputy director turned to look at Bishop Andrea, who was not far away. He also seemed to have no intention of taking action. He was probably waiting for the signal from the homeless man.

"But..." The deputy wanted to say something more, but when he met his boss's stern eyes, he swallowed his words.

"Where is that German female scholar?" the deputy director asked.

"Sent for treatment," the deputy replied.

The deputy director nodded, "Don't tell her anything. Find two people to follow her closely."

The deputy was really confused about his boss's arrangements. He nodded and risked being scolded and asked again: "Ms. Bones, signal?"

Amelia Bones frowned. Her deputy was good at everything, but a little too rigid. She knew that if she couldn't give a good reason, the deputy would be suspicious.

So, she explained: "If the church people take action, we will take action. A signal cannot mean anything, it may be a trap by the enemy."

The deputy understood, but he suggested: "Why don't we line up a small team to go in and explore the truth."

"Are you going?" the deputy director asked coldly, "I can approve you to lead a small team there."

The deputy's face suddenly turned pale. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just, I'm just afraid that the higher ups will investigate and we won't be able to explain. After all, that's the torch signal from the goddess of the dawn."

"So what? How many of those high-level people came to the scene? No one came, right? You have to understand that we can only rely on ourselves. And I, I will not let my men rush into such a dangerous place. place.

"A signal is not enough. If there is a response from the church, it will not be too late for us to set off. Those monks are all familiar with dreams. It will be safer to follow them."

"I understand." The deputy was about to leave when suddenly there was a series of loud noises around him.

Bones looked around with the same confusion. The sound sounded like an apparition. The first thing she saw was Kingsley Shacklebolt, and then more familiar faces.

Scrimgeour walked to Bones, saluted respectfully, and then said: "Deputy Director Bones, we received the rescue signal and came to support."

As he spoke, Scrimgeour looked at the gradually dimming torch in the distance. He turned to Kingsley beside him and said, "Follow the signal and we will set off once we have determined the location."

Kingsley nodded and immediately began to cast the spell.

Bones was surprised by Scrimgeour's arrival, but there was no change in her face. She gave her deputy a look, who understood, saluted Scrimgeour and left in a hurry.

As for the director of the Auror Office in front of her, she felt a little unsure. Everyone in the Ministry of Magic knows that Scrimgeour was promoted by Old Barty and he is loyal to Old Barty. In addition, the status of the head of the Auror Office is almost the same as hers.

"Aren't you supposed to be pursuing the fragment case, Scrimgeour?" Bones thought for a moment before asking the question in his mind.

The old lion squinted his eyes and looked at the red shield, "I received a request for help from an old friend who came here. He told me that the director was trapped in the school in the town, so I put down what I was doing and summoned the Golden Sun. We come to the rescue.”

Bones glanced around, and wherever she looked, she recognized at least a dozen golden suns. This is almost half of the combat power of the Auror Office.

"I'm curious, Deputy Director Bones. What actions did we see you make?"

"Huh?" Bones knew what Scrimgeour was talking about, but she just pretended to be crazy.

The old lion's face turned ugly, and he said coldly: "The distress signal is right in front of you, but you have no intention of rescuing it. Can I ask why?"

"Ah, you said this. I guess the old friend who contacted you was John. I met her, just about an hour ago. Things are complicated, Scrimgeour, you should feel the dream here How serious the pollution is.

"So we have to be very careful. John did tell me that he would send a signal to us once he arrived at the school. But we can't be sure whether the signal was sent by him. Those enemies are far more powerful than we thought. cunning.

"Needless to say, you also know that Manel Mendez has been confirmed to be involved in this turmoil. Then I have reason to believe that there must be many pure-blood wizards in the town involved in this operation."

"Are you suspecting that someone faked the signal?"

"Don't you doubt it?" Bones asked, "Are you sure that the person talking to you is John? He may be a cultist in disguise, and polyjuice potion is not that rare."

"Polyjuice Potion requires something from the person it wishes to change."

"Of course, of course, so what I'm more worried about is that John has been captured. What's worse may be that he is dead. It's not impossible. His strength is indeed good, but this was all so many years ago. He Now he's a drunkard. I'd say his wand hand is shaking."

Amelia Bones had a point, but Scrimgeour was no fool. Polyjuice potion took a long time to prepare, and John had only been in for an hour. Even if he was captured as soon as he entered, the other party would not prepare the potion so quickly.

What's more, through the crystal, he saw that Barty Cratchit was still alive, but the situation was not optimistic, and a therapist was operating on him.

"Okay, now I can tell you clearly. Deputy Director, that signal is true." Scrimgeour said bluntly, "In this case, can you send out manpower?"

"Sorry, Director." A smile appeared on Bones's face, "I still can't take such risks. Because as far as I know, the center of the town has become a battlefield, and all the power in my hands will be invested in that place, using to stop this ridiculous riot.

"I don't have any extra manpower to provide you. I'm afraid... you have to rely on your own. Of course, you can also wait."

"Wait a minute?" Scrimgeour didn't originally expect to get resources from Bones. He wanted to seize her more, but unfortunately, the other party had good reasons.

Even if they were investigated in the future, Amelia Bones would not be too unreasonable. This woman had thought of everything, and she wanted to use this riot to eradicate Barty Cratchit.

"Yeah, wait a minute." The deputy director turned his attention to the church command camp not far away, "They have also sent a sentry. If his signal comes out, we will start to march. At that time, you You can arrive in large groups at the town center and then go to the school.”
