harry potter book of crimes

"Churches hidden underground, secret gatherings, and speeches promoting extreme rebellious ideas... What, are you imitating the first generation of Dark Lords back then? Don't make people laugh! Look at your pathetic way of hiding your head and tail.

——What are you afraid of? Are you worried that someone will discover your identity..."

Since the series of slight explosions that appeared just now, many figures have appeared in front, back and left of this underground church.

It can be seen that almost all of them are holding various kinds of wands in their hands, and pairs of eyes immediately stared at the "believers" sitting in the church after they appeared.

And looking at the two wizards who appeared next to the chanting platform in front, they seemed to be the leaders of the dozens of people on this trip.

"Is it Draco...and Uncle Malfoy?"

Pansy sat there blankly, looking at the two familiar faces, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Yes, the two people standing near Martin at this moment were the Malfoy father and son - the son had just separated from her not long ago, but who knew that they would meet again in this way only half an hour later.

As for the real leader, Lucius Malfoy, Pansy was obviously even more surprised.

As a member of the Parkinson's family, Pansy knew something about the Malfoy family. Especially Draco's father, who was said to have reached some agreement with Maka McClane after he was sentenced to prison.

, and was able to leave Azkaban in the most low-key way.

But perhaps also because of the agreement that no one knew the specific content of, the once famous head of the Malfoy family finally faded out of everyone's sight and became a recluse who never left the house or stepped out.

Nowadays, when it comes to the Malfoy family, some people laugh at it, some people are indifferent, and some people feel sad about it.

But in the final analysis, those pure-blood families who once had a close relationship with the Malfoy family are now just watching from afar. This is a source of worry for most of the forces in the British wizarding world today.

However, tonight, Lucius was no longer at home as usual. He even had to have his wife do the work for him when visiting guests.

Not only did he come out, but he also led a group of people who were obviously Aurors and dark wizard strikers. He looked as energetic as before.

To be honest, many of the "congregants" present actually recognized Lucius's identity, but Miss Parkinson was probably the only one who could more or less guess what was going on.

"Is this the 'plan' McClane told Draco?"

Pansy sat there in silence, secretly sorting out her slightly confused thoughts while Lucius was scolding Martin vigorously.

"But...does McLean want the Malfoy family to stand up for him and give a reminder to those pure-blood families who have been waiting on the sidelines until now?"

Judging from the current situation, the group of wizards led by Lucius obviously came to raid the gathering, and they were quite ready to catch them all.

In this way, it is not difficult to give onlookers the intention of "forcing people to stand in line".

In fact, there are still many people who are thinking the same thing as Pansy, because there are many wizards here who are from pure-blood families like her.

However, since McClain was planning to eliminate Martin directly, why did he still allow her to attend this rally?

You must know that before coming here today, he had more than one opportunity to remind Pansy, but each time he never mentioned asking Pansy not to come.

Thinking of this, another guess quickly came to Miss Parkinson's mind.

"So, Uncle Malfoy's sudden attack was just for show?" She couldn't help but wonder to herself, "Then his real intention of this trip... is to allow me to integrate into this world faster and more naturally.

In the group?”

Recalling that before, Draco didn't say anything else, but just repeatedly asked her to "do what she should do", Pansy finally understood a little bit about Maka's thoughts.

Thinking of this, Pansy couldn't help but raise her head slightly and looked towards Draco, who was standing beside Lucius.

Although the other party seemed to have no intention of turning around to look at her, she now understood that even if the Malfoy family fell silent for a time, Draco would still be the Draco she admired. Even compared to him before.

Come on, now Draco Malfoy obviously has a better decision-making ability.

It is conceivable that, if nothing unexpected happens, the Malfoy family will return to the forefront of the British pure-blood wizarding families after this action.

"... Of course, what will happen in the end depends on the contest between McClain and Halper." Pansy looked at the tall figures of Malfoy and his son, and her mood couldn't help but stir up.

And it was at this time that Martin, who had been frowning from the beginning, finally spoke.

"Lucius Malfoy, have you said enough?" He heard him say loudly, "I know that you have been staying at home since you were released from prison, which must have made you depressed... So if you

If you are not satisfied yet, I can let you continue talking until you are satisfied."

Martin's words were full of ridicule, but they were not over yet. After a pause, he continued:

"But if you have said enough, I have to 'ask' you to leave..." As he was speaking, his face suddenly turned cold, and he said with some disdain, "Unlike you, I am not a big person.

I like to do things with my words. So, rather than blabbering here and there, maybe it will be much more efficient to speak with strength!"

After saying that, everyone saw him slowly take out the wand and gently stretched it out.

"Um?"

Lucius and the wizards who came with him were all confused on the spot, because they discovered that the tip of Martin's wand was actually pointing at the "believers" sitting in the venue.

And the next moment, everyone heard him loudly say:

"Now, pick up your magic wand immediately - I hope you can cheer up and fight off the enemy with me! If not... I believe I will let you understand that death is not far away from you!"

At that moment, all the congregants, including Pansy, remembered the scenes and experiences at the last gathering. The feeling of being so powerless at that time, as if even one's own life was passing by, was really disturbing for a lifetime.

hard to forget.

So, did Martin listen to his orders or not?

Although most people actually don't want to go against Lucius and the others, let alone fight against him, there are even some who hope that they can help them deal with this abominable Martin.

However, being unable to help themselves may be what they are talking about now.

Suddenly, someone among the "believers" who were still sitting there gritted his teeth and took out his wand, and then cast the first spell of the night without hesitation.

It was an extremely crimson arc of magic light. It wasn't really fast in terms of speed, but for a silent spell, its power was really impressive.

Obviously, although the ancient magic ritual sent out by Martin has hidden dangers, it is also genuine in terms of its effectiveness in enhancing strength.

And this believer who took the lead had obviously completed the second ritual step provided by Martin last time!

However, the wizard brought by Lucius and Draco today is not easy to deal with either.

I saw the wizard who the cultist was aiming at flicking his wand, and a hazy arc-shaped barrier flashed in front of him. The arc of light from the disarming curse hit the barrier, and immediately

The impact produced a cloud of brilliant light particles.

However, if there is one, there are two, and this attack and defense immediately became the beginning of the battle.

In the blink of an eye, several bright lights of different colors suddenly appeared in this underground church, and this did not include those magic spells that did not directly collide with magic.

The battle between the two sides suddenly broke out.

"Bang!"

With some difficulty, Pansy deflected a curse that was shot towards her, and immediately after, she also fired back.

Yes, she naturally did not touch that evil ancient magic ritual again, and just the first step did not make her spell much more powerful than before.

However, the effect is obvious - if it had been in the past, she might not have been able to successfully block the curse just now.

"...Draco."

During the chaos, Pansy couldn't help but glance ahead again, still paying attention to the situation on the Malfoy and son side. And then she was shocked to find that Martin's strength did not seem to be as strong as she originally imagined.

.

Is that guy really a student of the ancient wizard Haierbo?

But Pansy only had doubts for a moment, and in a flash she thought that since McClane would let her be the "spy", it meant that Martin was indeed related to Haierbo.

Not sure, but at least the probability is definitely not low.

However, it is also a fact that that guy is not strong.

No, in fact, it cannot be called "not strong". From the perspective of an ordinary wizard, Martin's dueling ability is already quite powerful.

It can be seen that even if both Malfoy and his son fought against him alone, they were only evenly matched.

"What? Is that all you have? How dare you just run up in front of me and embarrass yourself?"

It was heard that Martin was still able to find time to talk during the fight. This shows that his magical strength is indeed far beyond that of ordinary wizards.

"Huh, you said you don't like to talk?"

Lucius also took advantage of the gap in the exchange of offense and defense to respond coldly to him. When it comes to the ability to ridicule others, the Malfoys have never been afraid of anyone.

At the same time, Draco on the side seized the opportunity and once again cast an aggressive spell with high intensity.

The battle is still going on. (To be continued)
