Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts
#59 - Wise Minister
Dumbledore, seeing this scene, looked at everyone with slight surprise. Noticing that their gazes were directed at Lily and Augusta, he smiled and said, "It seems that some of you have experienced quite a few wonderful adventures that we don't know about. Madam Longbottom, would you be willing to share your adventure stories with us?"
Augusta, hearing Dumbledore's question, couldn't help but glance at Lily. Seeing Lily returning her gaze with a helpless expression, she had no choice but to recount the fierce battle in the basement safe house to everyone. М читати
"When we discovered that someone was attacking the protective charms outside the safe house, Anduin suggested that we construct an internal line of defense... and then, under Anduin's control, that person who had drunk the Blood-boiling Potion was defeated by us." Augusta recounted the battle that had occurred earlier in detail to everyone.
After listening to Augusta's account, Millicent Bagnold couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Death Eaters had secretly infiltrated, specifically attacking the hidden women, children, and infants. It was simply detestable. Millicent gnashed her teeth in hatred, then asked in confusion, "Then how did a Death Eater die? From what you said, it doesn't sound like anyone was killed."
"I did it, Minister!" Moody interjected from the side, and then he repeated what had happened after he entered the safe house.
"Evan Rosier was completely insane, shouting 'Hail the Dark Lord!' and used the Killing Curse on Anduin and Little Harry. If Anduin hadn't reacted quickly and interfered with that guy, that Killing Curse would have hit someone. Seeing the urgent situation at the time, I gave him a Killing Curse." Moody said, grinning fiercely, making people wonder if he was a psychopathic murderer.
"Yes, in critical moments, we can't afford to be soft-hearted. I declare your use of the 'Unforgivable Curse' this time as a legitimate law enforcement action." Minister Millicent Bagnold was a decisive minister, and directly declared Moody's use of the 'Unforgivable Curse' legal.
Then she looked at Anduin and said, "Mr. Anduin Wilson, I declare your use of magic outside of school this time as a legitimate act. Moreover, your actions in the crisis were brave and resourceful. Not only did you assist in arresting four Death Eaters in the safe house, but you also protected a toddler in a critical moment. I will apply for commendations and rewards for you, especially since you are still an underage wizard. Please continue to work hard."
As soon as Anduin heard this, he immediately perked up. No wonder everyone he knew said that this new minister was very shrewd and capable. Now he had a deep understanding of it. Commendations and such were irrelevant, and he didn't plan to become too famous now, as a big tree attracts the wind. However, he was overjoyed to hear that there were rewards.
"This is all I should do. I can't bear to see my friends get hurt because of this." Anduin was overjoyed, but he still said high-sounding words.
Minister Millicent Bagnold nodded approvingly upon hearing Anduin's words, and then encouraged and commended Lily and the others one by one. Then she ordered Moody to drag the prisoners and corpses out.
Dumbledore, watching all of this, also nodded with a smile. When he heard about the battle in the basement, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at Anduin. He keenly realized that their ability to be safe and sound this time and achieve such results was due to Anduin's command and spellcasting at critical moments.
Dumbledore thought to himself, "It seems that another promising young man has appeared. I can take some time to learn about him when I get back. But do these Death Eaters have to sneak in and attack women and children at critical moments in battle? Moreover, judging from Evan Rosier's series of actions, it is likely that he received Tom's orders. It seems that our Dark Lord is also very concerned about the prophesied child among Harry and Neville."
Dumbledore pondered the connection between the two prophesied children and Voldemort, and considered how to respond to the Death Eaters' actions next. Voldemort's target was obviously one of Harry and Neville, but who exactly was it? It seemed that he had to find a way to contact Snape again.
On the other side, after listening to Augusta's account, James apologized to Lily with self-reproach, "I'm sorry, Lily. I wasn't by your side during such a dangerous time for you and our son. I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a husband."
Lily comforted him from the side, "Don't say such things. No one could have imagined that such a thing would happen. The reason I didn't want to say these things before was because I was afraid you would worry. Instead of apologizing, you should spend some time thanking Anduin. He saved Harry's life."
James nodded, looking for Anduin with his eyes. At this time, Anduin had already run to Sirius Black's side. Seeing them talking, he didn't interrupt, thinking that he would compensate and thank Anduin later.
Anduin came to Sirius Black's side and looked at Sirius Black's embarrassed appearance, smiling and saying, "It looks like you're seriously injured. Can you still move?"
Sirius Black coughed a few times, pretending to be strong and saying, "Hmph, what's this? I can fight another battle without any problem. It's just a lung injury."
It turned out that Sirius Black had been too reckless in the previous battle and was stabbed in the chest by a Death Eater with a 'Laceration Curse', which made it painful for him to breathe and speak now.
Dumbledore also walked over at this time and said, "Sirius, let's go. We have to send you to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries as soon as possible. Although your injury has been simply treated, you still need to go to the hospital for treatment for a while."
Sirius Black originally wanted to pretend to be strong, but Anduin mischievously poked Sirius Black's wound, causing Sirius Black to cough violently for a long time, which made him almost speechless and could only glare at Anduin angrily.
After a while, Sirius Black said, "Cough, what about Anduin? Letting this kid live alone in my house, I'm a little worried, although he should be able to take care of himself."
James also came over at this time and said, "It's okay, you can go to the hospital with peace of mind. Anduin will live with me during this time. I'll take him to get his luggage tomorrow."
Seeing this, Sirius Black nodded helplessly, glared at Anduin again and said, "Kid, don't show off like you did today, or you'll fall sooner or later."
Anduin saw that Sirius Black was so injured and still worried about others, and said, "If you want to talk about showing off, no one is as good as you. You've made yourself look like this."
Then he turned to look at Headmaster Dumbledore and said, "Professor, can I ask you for a favor?"
