duel day at hogwarts

"Howard, do you know the dangers of doing this?"

"Danger? Of course I know, but if I don't take risks, then sooner or later my territory and business will be destroyed by those damn werewolves. At that time, let alone danger, it will be impossible to survive, and your boss will not even think about it.

With the large annual dividends, you don’t want extra money every month.

Of course, if you say that you can give up those gold galleons, then I have not said that. I will find a place to hide now. Before my business and territory are all plundered by those damn werewolves and the black wizards who took advantage of the situation, I can make as much profit as possible.

One thing is for sure, anyway, my wife and children have obtained American citizenship, and the money is enough for them to live and clothe themselves for a lifetime, even if I die!"

Hearing what Howard said, the masked Auror fell silent.

As Howard said, it is impossible for them to give up such a large sum of dividends and extra money. This masked Auror has been doing this for three years, and his family already has a big house. Recently, his family has

I am considering buying a house elf. According to his wife, only those who have a house elf at home can be considered a decent family, and can they initially enter the scope of a pure-blood family.

The masked Auror deeply believed in this, so as Howard said, he was reluctant to give up such a large dividend, although in recent times, Rufus Scrimgeour, Director of the Auror Office, has been increasing his support for

Howard's investigative intensity and rash actions can easily catch him with clues, but this matter has indeed reached a crisis situation that affects everyone's income and must be resolved.

Fortunately, during the Christmas period, even if Scrimgeour, that stubborn old guy, could not celebrate the holiday, others would have to celebrate it, and their detection and patrols would not be too strict.

Thinking of this, the masked Auror nodded slowly and said: "What you said makes sense, but you must bring fewer people, otherwise once there are too many people, it will be easy for others to discover it under a big fanfare. This is ours

Bottom line.”

Without any hesitation, Howard immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it as you want. I'll only take four people there."

"four people……"

The masked Auror frowned slightly. His idea was to only let Howard lead two people, but considering that Howard had simply given in just now, he didn't say anything more. Anyway, including himself and Howard, there were only six people.

There weren't too many people there, so I guess there shouldn't be any big problems.

Thinking of this, the masked Auror said directly to Howard: "Okay, then four people, take your people, let's leave here secretly and go to the agreed place for negotiations. Don't delay too long."

"Okay, let's take action now."

Howard pulled out his wand and waved it gently, and four dark wizards immediately used apparation to rush to Howard's side. Among these four people, two of them were Marlowe's men. The two of them saw that they had been summoned.

Here, they looked at each other quite vaguely, and then stood next to Howard with their eyes, nose, nose and heart in mind.

"Let's go, follow me."

The masked Auror directly used Apparition and turned into a white mist rising into the sky. Howard and his four subordinates also followed suit and turned into mist and flew into the air after him.

Hogsmeade.

Howard and others walked into it in two groups.

This place was chosen by the Masked Auror boss.

Compared with other places, this place is more secretive. Scrimgeour and the others rarely come near Hogwarts. It is said that Scrimgeour and Dumbledore are not so consistent in many political views, so Scrimgeour usually does not come to Hogwarts.

Gwartz, the last time I went to Hogwarts was for Sean Bursted, who has been in the limelight recently.

Walk into an old shop on the edge of Hogsmeade.

This is the edge of Hogsmeade. In the past, few people came here, so it gradually declined.

Howard walked in here. He looked at some counters in the room and some quite old toys scattered around, and knew that this store might have been a toy store before.

Without paying much attention, Howard led people to the inside of the store. At this time, there were already three Aurors with the same mask waiting here. One of them was sitting on the only clean table, and behind him

Opposite it, there is also a clean chair.

"Howard, please sit down."

Howard knew very well that the other party's voice was changed by magic. This magic seemed to be attached to their masks, so he had no intention of guessing the other party's identity from the sound.

Howard didn't dare either.

"Hello, I wonder if you already know about the difficulties I have encountered recently."

Nodding slightly, the masked Auror boss said: "He has told me that you can wait patiently for those werewolves. The Ministry of Magic has begun to prepare to deal with them. We will also help you in this regard. There won't be any big problems."

Problem, but we also have requirements here, that is, the dividend cannot be reduced, and to solve this problem, our dividend needs to be increased by five percentage points."

"This is impossible, five percentage points is too much!"

"It's not much. Compared with our efforts, five percentage points is quite reasonable."

"If you don't pay, you won't get anything in the future."

As soon as he said this, the masked Auror boss suddenly let out a sneer. His head slowly came closer to Howard, his eyes stared at Howard through the gap in the mask, and he sneered and said: "Howard, maybe you got something wrong.

, from the time you cooperate with us, it is no longer your decision whether you will do this or not."

"What if I don't do it? Kill me? But what if I'm not afraid of death?"

"You are indeed not afraid of death, but are the mother and son at No. 18 XX Street in San Francisco, USA, afraid of death?"

Upon hearing this address, Howard stood up abruptly. He stared at the masked Auror boss and said word by word: "How do you know their address!"

Looking at Howard who was furious, the masked Auror boss smiled jokingly and said, "Why don't you know?"

"What do you want?"

"Didn't I just say it? The dividend cannot be reduced, and it should be increased by five percentage points."

"Two percentage points, no more."

"this is okay.

You see, I’m still very talkative, right?”

"Deal with those werewolves as soon as possible, otherwise my business will not be able to continue."

"Of course, you just need to go back and wait..."

Before the masked Auror boss finished speaking, the windows and doors of the abandoned shop burst open, and a group of Aurors rushed in. Rufus Scrimgeour took the lead and headed towards the masked Auror boss,

Directly releasing a brilliant red light.

"No need to wait, you have no future!"
