Hogwarts: The Obscurial War School
114. Blame-Shifting Meeting
"Shame! This is a shame to the British Ministry of Magic! It is a shame to all Aurors!"
In the French Ministry of Magic, Travers, who was defeated with a group of remaining soldiers, roared angrily.
Theseus lowered his head and leaned against the wall, silently.
As the head of the Auror office, he acted as if he had no authority. The name sounds nice, 'war hero', but that is a Muggle war hero.
He earned this title for protecting many Muggles. Therefore, his "war hero" is very useful among wizards who are pro-Muggles, but it is more like an ironic title among wizards who ignore or even hate Muggles.
Other than that, it was hard for him to find a good colleague.
Many people, including Theseus himself, admitted that Travers was a very capable commander.
But at the same time, Theseus was also very depressed. As a commander, he was too controlling and acted too tough. Obviously he is the direct superior of Auror, but Travers always oversteps his authority.
Theseus did not approve of the attack on Aurelius himself. Although he chose to side with the Ministry of Magic, he was kind-hearted and unwilling to sacrifice an innocent person because of the conflict between the Ministry of Magic and Grindelwald.
Now the operation failed, more than one-third of the Auror action team died, and another third suffered varying degrees of trauma.
The British Ministry of Magic's elite Aurors all came to such an end. Travers's anger was understandable, but he disagreed.
Seeing his fiancée's confused eyes, Theseus could only smile bitterly and shook his head gently. This was not the place for the young couple to talk.
The sight of Newt, who should not be in France, at Aurelius' residence was very detrimental to Theseus.
Although he is upright and kind, he is not a fool. He does not want to be used as a punching bag, let alone take the blame.
However, his fears eventually came true.
Travers's vicious look made Theseus look up unconsciously.
"Theseus, I need an explanation. Why did Newt Scamander, a man who was banned, appear in Paris, France?"
Theseus frowned and said, "Sir, although we are brothers, Newt is an adult after all. I won't let me know everything he wants to do."
"You don't know?" Travers laughed angrily.
"No one knows. He may have discovered some precious magical animals, or he may have learned where magical animals are illegally sold, just like he showed up in New York last year...
"So he showed up in Paris? At our target's home? He even saw us not only not helping, but not stopping, but actually helping the target launch an attack on the Aurors?!" Travers' voice became louder and louder, and in the end, Almost questioning.
Theseus frowned, and his tone was not that good: "Please pay attention to your tone, Chief Travers, I am not your prisoner!"
"You'll be there soon! Capture Theseus!"
"What?!" Leta exclaimed, standing in front of Theseus: "Why?! Even if Newt violates the ban and hinders the action, what does it have to do with Theseus?"
"Why? Because he was treated passively during the operation! As the director of the Auror Office and the leader of this operation, he was afraid of death and never entered the scene. I have reason to suspect that all this is a trap, targeting our Auror operation. Trap! Theseus is suspected of leaking secrets and betraying, is this reason enough? Miss Lestrange." Travers looked at the two of them coldly.
"Not enough! You don't have the right to arrest the master of the Auror office! This requires the minister's personal approval!" Rita was unmoved.
As the only daughter of the Lestrange family, Leta is by no means ordinary, and she has full confidence in confronting a director of magical law enforcement.
"You!" Travers looked at her sinisterly, but Lita didn't take a step back. The other Aurors looked at each other, but no one came forward.
As Rita said, wanting to arrest the director of the Auror Office is a decision that only the Minister of Magic is qualified to make.
Even though Travers is now the most popular person in the Ministry of Magic, it is not a problem to say that he is half the Minister of Magic, but after all, he is only half, and he is not the Minister of Magic yet.
"Very good, then I hope you can be careful and don't let me catch you! Miss Lestrange, you should know that as the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, I have the right to arrest anyone in an emergency. All it cost was a hearing." Travers walked away.
...Please give me flowers‥
As Travers left, the tense atmosphere present slowly dissipated.
"Lita, thank you." Theseus sat on the chair depressedly.
"I am your fiancée," Rita shook her head, saying there was no need to thank her, but she couldn't help but ask: "Theseus, what happened? Why don't I know anything?"
There were many people sent by the British Ministry of Magic, but not everyone participated in last night's action.
Since this operation is extremely important in the eyes of Travers, as long as Aurelius is killed, Grindelwald's plan can be severely damaged.
Travers was well aware of Grindelwald's vast power and believed that there must be an undercover agent of the other party on his side, so the level of confidentiality was extremely high.
On the surface, they are here to help the French Ministry of Magic provide clues and analyze the Grindelwald Witch Party. This is also the purpose that Rita knows.
Out of the professional ethics of an Auror, Theseus perfectly implemented the confidentiality regulations and did not even tell his fiancée.
But who would have thought that Aurelius's strength exceeded their imagination.
Originally, the large number of manpower was used to hinder the support of the Wiccan Party, but in the end, it was disabled by Aurelius alone.
"He...is he really that strong?" Rita was extremely surprised. There were dozens of well-trained Aurors!
"He often resorted to killing curses, and more than five people were killed by the killing curses." Theseus felt terrible just thinking about it.
Theseus had participated in a real war, and he knew what it was like to kill the enemy on the battlefield.
But in the magical world, Aurelius' behavior was too outrageous. Not only Newt found it hard to accept, but Theseus also found it incredible.
In the end, it can only be attributed to Aurelius being a dabbler and not knowing the consequences of doing so.
"This is not our plan at all..." Before the action, I emphasized several times that we should not change the plan at will, but he still felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..." Theseus said angrily, "After learning that Grinder Waugh also found Aurelius, and Travers was afraid that something would change later. We didn't have time to formulate a better action plan, and we didn't find out more information!"
