Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1597 A war without a winner (forty-seven)

"It's so rare that you have time to come here in person."

The figure who was hiding from the rain under the tree suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the noise. He smiled and raised his hand to say hello to the familiar figure who came into view.

"found it?"

Kingsley walked over holding a black umbrella, followed by two Aurors who were caught in the rain.

"Hiding in that abandoned house."

Albert nodded towards the ruins and said, "Gadevin Robards just rushed in with his men. As long as their luck is not too bad, they will definitely be able to catch your target."

"I'm sorry for bothering you to make a trip on a rainy day. Thank you for your hard work."

Kingsley turned his head and stared at the ruins. There seemed to be no big movement there, but soon he saw red sparks blooming in the rain, which meant that the arrest operation had been successful.

"Everyone takes what he needs," Albert said.

These words made Kingsley raise his eyebrows slightly, feeling that he shouldn't use his favor to ask Albert to help find someone.

"If you regret it, you can also pay. I can give you a 20% discount for the first time, which only costs 800 galleons." Albert seemed to see through Kingsley's mind and said with a smile, "It's not expensive, you have everything." Value for money.”

"Isn't it expensive?"

The corners of the mouths of the two rain-soaked fools beside Kingsley twitched.

Isn't eight hundred galleons expensive for a divination?

Robbery is not as profitable as this.

"I owe you a favor."

Kingsley ultimately had no intention of paying the Galleons directly.

It's not that he thinks it's expensive.

Well, Kingsley really couldn't afford the money. Because the Ministry of Magic was short of money, it rejected the proposal to spend a large sum of money to ask Albert to help find someone.

After all, he is only a temporary minister, and some things should not be overdone.

Moreover, everyone wants to do it for free, and hopes that Albert can provide free help like Dumbledore did in the past.

But Albert is not Dumbledore.

Therefore, the free prostitution failed and the problem was not solved.

So much so that there have been a large number of Inferi attacks recently.

In order to completely solve this big trouble, Kingsley had no choice but to shamelessly ask Albert for help.

Albert also agreed.

As for what to do to repay this favor?

The worst-case scenario is to lose the position of minister. Kingsley believes that Albert will not ask him to do anything excessive.

Therefore, he is not at a loss either.

The two walked side by side toward the ruined house. The "battle" inside had ended.

In fact, it's not really a fight.

Harry first wore an invisibility cloak and sneaked into the ruins to wait for an opportunity. After the Auror team rushed in with great fanfare and attracted all the attention of the dark wizards from the front, Harry took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and easily subdued the three dark wizards in just a few seconds. , is simply a true biography of Albert.

We can only blame the dark wizard for being careless and not preparing himself with detection items such as a looking glass, otherwise it would be impossible for people to easily touch him without noticing.

However, the three of them probably never even dreamed that their secret hiding place would suddenly be exposed, and they were caught off guard.

"All three have confessed."

Percy handed Kingsley the recorded statement and updated him on the situation.

"Those Inferi were indeed provided by Death Eaters, but they didn't know who was behind it. That person was wearing a Death Eater's mask."

"One more thing. Three people just caused an attack."

"Then let everyone work hard and go over to deal with the attack." Kingsley looked at Gadwin, and after the other party nodded, he added, "As for these three bastards, we will take them back to the Ministry of Magic later."

After Gadwin said hello, the Aurors hurried back to deal with the Inferi attack.

"Is there any way to pry out the information we need from them?"

After the Aurors left, Kingsley turned his head and asked Albert.

Gadwin Robards took out the Veritaserum from his pocket and said in a low voice, "How about giving them some more. This time, increase the dosage, and you can always pry something more out of their mouths."

The two Aurors guarding the door outside exchanged glances and pretended they didn't hear anything.

"Didn't you guess it a long time ago? The three of them were cannon fodder who took money to do things from the beginning."

Albert found Kingsley's unwillingness to accept reality a bit funny, and he didn't believe that the other party couldn't guess this.

Just like Albert said, someone hired them to do that, causing chaos every few days, for ten galleons each time.

The money is not much, but the task is easy and it is a continuous task. For most dark wizards, there is no reason to refuse at all, not to mention that they are not British and they will just pat their butts and leave after they are done.

"What are you going to do next? Are you going to send them to the court?" Gadwin suddenly asked as if he had thought of something.

"Judgment, no, they were cursed and died because they revealed certain secrets." Kingsley had already sentenced the three to death.

Gadwin looked at Kingsley in astonishment. Although he didn't know what the minister planned to do, the other party obviously had his own plans.

As for the three bastards in front of them who have committed numerous crimes, they should have died long ago. I believe that no one in the entire magic world will care about their life or death.

"I will not get involved in the internal affairs of your Ministry of Magic." Albert was not interested in getting involved in Kingsley's struggle with "pure bloods", so he turned around and prepared to leave.

"I want to know who is the mastermind behind the scenes. It shouldn't be difficult." Kingsley looked at Albert's leaving back and said.

"It shouldn't be difficult, but...this is the second time."

Albert stopped, turned to look at Kingsley and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Anyway, one is owed, and both are owed."

Kingsley suddenly felt that he could owe a few more, and it didn't matter even if it wasn't enough. As long as the interests of both parties could be tied together, he wouldn't be considered a loss.

Albert took a deep look at Kingsley and took out a crystal ball to divine the murderer behind the attack.

Gadwin stared at Albert who was doing the divination, and a strange thought suddenly came to his mind: If Albert had become the Minister of Magic, there would probably be no such troubles.

It's not that Kingsley is not good enough, but the young man in front of him who ended the Wizarding War can always bring miracles to everyone, and is more suitable than Kingsley to clean up the current mess.

Unfortunately, he is too young.

"Looks like you've stirred a hornet's nest."

A voice drew Gadwin Robards' attention back.

A round table was reflected in the crystal ball. There were many people sitting around the table. Although some people's faces were obscured by shadows, most people's faces could be seen clearly.

As Kingsley expected, the group of people whose interests had been harmed united and began to cause trouble for themselves.

Looking at the people at the table in the crystal ball, Gadwin Robards suddenly regretted why he didn't leave first!
