Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

Thanks to Andrei and the others' self-directed performance, they had successfully created a logical closed loop around the Silver Spears kidnapping incident, convincing Nathan and Bob beyond any doubt.

Therefore, the subsequent actions were naturally smooth. Anduin pretended to study the fireplace in the Ministry of Magic for a while, and then successfully found the exact location of the warehouse prison.

Immediately afterwards, Andrei showed everyone what true heroism was, leading Edmund, Anduin, and Nathan to counterattack the prison. In front of hundreds of captured wizards and Muggles, he engaged in a fierce battle with the Silver Spear leader, played by Moody.

The battle was absolutely brilliant, with all sorts of flashy magic colliding intensely. Regardless of the actual power, the visual effects were completely maxed out.

And when Andrei used a unique 'Wind Summoning Charm' to blow away a group of Silver Spears, Moody and the others, according to plan, feigned an inability to resist and apparated away.

Deafening cheers echoed throughout the prison.

Even the collaborating wizards wore ecstatic expressions, because the Silver Spears' behavior during the day clearly indicated that they were prepared to abandon everyone, showing no mercy whatsoever.

With the warehouse prison liberated, these civilian wizards, who had been imprisoned for so long, finally regained their freedom. Only then did they realize that Nathan and Bob had made this great achievement, and they immediately hailed Nathan, who had returned to the prison with them, as a hero!

However, after seeing that Jimmy, whom he had been worried about, was safe and sound, Nathan returned to his former honest and humble self, and took the initiative to attribute the credit for saving them to Andrei, Edmund, and Anduin.

The civilian wizards naturally didn't hold back their praise at this time, constantly offering sincere gratitude to Andrei and the other Ministry of Magic personnel.

However, when Andrei organized the evacuation and containment of the prisoners, he stated that he would temporarily relocate them to the Schmidt family manor, an order that puzzled many.

After this disaster, what these people wanted most was to return to the embrace of their families. They had suffered so much during these days, and they had never experienced such inhuman treatment. Both their minds and bodies had been cruelly tortured.

So, initially, after learning that they had been rescued, many people's first reaction was to collapse on the ground and cry bitterly, looking worse than children.

But this was where the benefit of having Nathan along came into play. He personally stepped forward to explain that the Silver Spears were colluding with some Ministry of Magic personnel.

If they didn't temporarily accept containment at this time, they might be retaliated against and silenced by those villains, and might even implicate their families outside.

After Nathan's analysis, everyone suddenly understood. Indeed, after so many days of imprisonment, in addition to being devastated, they had also learned many secrets related to the club.

In particular, the conspiracy of the club using folk groups to try to split the country. The collaborating wizards who were imprisoned together didn't even bother to hide it from them.

At the same time, after Edmund assured everyone that they would be well taken care of and that everyone could contact the outside world, everyone basically agreed.

Of course, the collaborating wizards in the crowd were quite dissatisfied with this. Although the Aurors' rescue saved them from becoming Inferi, these people also knew that they were likely to transition seamlessly from being prisoners of the club to being criminals of the Ministry of Magic.

But no one listened to their opinions at this time. In fact, the collaborating wizards' protests made the slightly hesitant civilian wizards even more determined to accept the containment order.

What? Release you on the spot so you can escape the sanctions of the law? Or rejoin the club?

No way!

We must act in a unified manner to catch these moths one by one and bring them to justice, to vent our hatred!

Didn't you keep mocking us when we were in prison before? This time, let you taste the feeling of being condemned by thousands of people!

Just as everyone finalized the next arrangement, a figure suddenly jumped out from the crowd and shouted loudly, "I have important information about the Silver Spears to confess! I used to be a high-level collaborator and know a lot about the club. I am willing to become a tainted witness for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement!"

Everyone stopped and carefully examined the person. Like the other criminals, he was dressed in a slovenly manner and was particularly old, looking like a beggar you could see anywhere on the street.

After Anduin saw the person's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but smile. Wasn't this Clement?

Although this old guy was the highest-ranking collaborator in the club, he always liked to hedge his bets and had never been truly loyal to the club. Now, seeing Andrei and the others, he probably knew that Peter's faction was about to fall. In addition, the Silver Spears had completely lost trust in him, so he simply went all out and betrayed the club completely!

Andrei also recognized the other party's identity at this time. He was also present when he defrauded Clement, so he roughly guessed the other party's thoughts, so he said generously, "No problem, as long as the information you provide is valuable enough, it may be able to offset the crimes you have committed."

After hearing Andrei's promise, the first to react were not Clement himself, but the other collaborators. After learning that there was still a possibility of making up for their crimes, they couldn't have been happier to sell out their former employers.

After all, after Moody's earlier performance, they no longer had any loyalty to the club, so one by one they shouted to Andrei and other Aurors, striving to become tainted witnesses.

Andrei and the others couldn't help but find it a little funny, and at the same time a little puzzled. What exactly did Moody do to them to make these people defect so readily?

However, the Silver Spears were now on the verge of collapse, and Andrei and Anduin didn't mind adding fuel to the fire, so after a brief exchange of glances, they immediately agreed to everyone's request.

But the most important thing now is to transfer them out of the prison and settle them down. I don't know if Moody has become addicted to playing the villain, but he is really ruthless to these people!

These wizards should be in far better physical condition than normal people due to the nourishment of magic, but now they all look sallow and emaciated, and their hygiene is extremely poor, which has led to many of them having more or less illnesses.

In addition, Anduin and others also discovered the 10 collaborating wizards who had been brainwashed into idiots. To be honest, even Anduin didn't expect Moody to be so ruthless. Originally, he meant to draw two or three people to pretend to be brainwashed.

As a result, Moody not only doubled and doubled the number of people, but also publicly executed them, using methods that were even more cruel than real villains.

The sight made Anduin feel a little creepy. Could it be that Moody has really developed some strange fetish?

Therefore, when containing these people, Andrei and Edmund also put in more effort. First, they transferred everyone to the Schmidt family manor in batches.

The ordinary civilian wizards and Muggles were directly transferred through the Floo Network in the fireplace, while the collaborating wizards were taken away in batches by the Aurors using Apparition to prevent them from fleeing in fear of punishment.

Therefore, it took nearly two hours just to transport them, and the formal containment work had just begun after arriving at the Schmidt family manor.

The first thing to do was to clean everyone's body, put them in clean clothes, and check their health. People with illnesses had to be arranged separately to rest in a specially designated medical area.

The rest of the people in slightly better health were arranged to rest in multi-person rooms in batches, and they also had to prepare sufficient and rich food. These people had been locked in prison for so long, and they had been eating only one type of food, and their nutritional status was quite unbalanced.

In addition, the collaborating wizards had to be contained separately. These guys are still suspects, so people have to be sent to guard them to avoid any trouble.

Fortunately, Andrei and others were well prepared for this, and there were plenty of food, daily necessities, medicines and other materials, and there was no shortage of resources.

In addition, Edmund also showed absolute sincerity this time, not only cooperating with their performance before, but also contributing the largest manor in the family.

Although these hundreds of people filled the entire manor all at once, at least they all had a place to stay, not to mention that compared to the previous prison, the Schmidt family's manor was like a magnificent paradise.

In terms of personnel, it would definitely not be enough to rely on the dozens of Aurors in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to take care of and guard so many people.

Therefore, Edmund summoned a large number of people from the Schmidt family, including several house-elves serving the family, vassal family members, and direct members.

At the same time, Edmund had also contacted several other wizarding families who had seats in the Wizengamot. These families usually advanced and retreated together with the Schmidt family and were considered allies who trusted each other very much.

On the one hand, Edmund wanted to share information with them and determine their position in this incident, and on the other hand, he also wanted to borrow some manpower from them to help.

So, although there was a little confusion in the process of settling these people, in the end, everyone was successfully settled.

At this time, Andrei and Anduin also came to the first floor hall, which had been arranged as a cafeteria, and scanned the wizards who were eating the rich food like refugees, and found their target among these people, that was Clement.

At this time, Clement didn't look like the decadent old man in prison at all. Not only did he look energetic, but he was even more fierce than young people when grabbing food.
