The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Hogwarts The Strongest Badger Volume Chapter 621 The real changes brought about by the reorganization Hearing what Snape said, Draco looked at Allen with a much more friendly gaze.

When things come to this, no matter how stupid he is, he should know how horrible they would be treated if it weren't for Allen.

And uphold the principle that the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

Allen could obviously be considered their friend.

However, to Draco's surprise, the smile on Allen's face disappeared instantly when he heard the words, and was replaced by an incomparably gloomy expression.

He beat his chest and roared ferociously:

"I am the most loyal! I can even die for Commissioner Foley, for our cause! Don't even try to question my loyalty, no one else!"

Draco stared at Emily in bewilderment.

At this moment, the smell of madness emanating from the other party made him feel a little scared.

But Snape was unmoved at all, he looked at Alan without showing any weakness, and waited until Alan's mood eased a little before saying:

"Then how do you explain what you did? If I'm not wrong, Linna will go back and complain, which will have a good impact on you."

"That's right," Allen's tone slowed down a bit, but his expression was still cold, "Linna is my colleague, or more precisely, my supervisor."

"watch dogs?"

"Oh, by the way, you don't know yet? This is a new regulation introduced after the Ministry of Magic's restructuring. It refers to the fact that Ministry of Magic officials of the same rank in the same department are mutual supervisors. It is used to supervise the violations of administrators during their work. Behavior. If the report is successful and the situation is true after the investigation, the reporter will be rewarded and the person reported will be punished.”

"So, what about the kind of behavior you just forced us through?"

"This kind of behavior is subjective, knowingly breaking the law, suspected of corruption and bribery, and bending the law for personal gain. It is a serious case under the direct jurisdiction of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the Auror Command. As for the specific punishment, I have already discussed it." I told you when we met just now."

Snape nodded.

On this point, the other party did explain clearly before.

He even remembered what the other party said at the beginning:

‘Criminals who can be captured by the Aurors to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the only thing waiting for them is the death penalty. '

"That is to say, in order to help us pass the test, you will be executed later?"

Snape spoke quietly.

Draco was taken aback when he heard that.

He really didn't expect that the internal management of the Ministry of Magic would be so strict that even the slightest violation of discipline would result in death.

This can be said to be without the slightest bit of humanity.

What made him even more unexpected was that Allen would take such a big risk for them.

For a while, his gaze at Allen began to become complicated.

It's just that Allen didn't appreciate it at all. He even glared at Draco, and then looked at Snape with a half-smile.

"Is that so? Then I understand."

Snape nodded, sighing.

Allen's last move to look at him has actually expressed the meaning very clearly.

Allen's loyalty to Link is beyond doubt.

It can even be said that it is precisely because Alan is absolutely loyal to Link that for Link's sake, he will take them through the border in violation of the rules.

The reason for saying this, the key lies in him, Snape.

Link had absolutely never expected that Snape, who was indifferent by nature, would personally accompany Draco and Narcissa to pick Lucius out of prison, so he acquiesced in acquiescing to the people below to arrange activities to embarrass the Malfoy family.

And now, since Snape was there in person,

So does the plan need to be changed?

Linna and others are obviously more inclined to keep the original plan unchanged.

What drove them to make such a decision was actually their distaste for Snape and the Malfoys.

This is actually easy to understand.

As a family of Death Eaters, the Malfoys were originally on the opposite side of the Ministry of Magic today, and they were a group of people who would naturally be loathed and cast aside by Linna and others.

Not to mention the fact that Lucius Malfoy was about to be released now, which intensified the disgust.

In addition, even Snape, the chief culprit who persuaded Link to release Lucius, was disgusted.

That's why Linna, a student who graduated from Slytherin, was more hostile to Snape than Alan, a Gryffindor.

What Allen is doing is a stud-style gamble.

His bet was that Link didn't want to see Snape suffer the same humiliation as the Malfoys.

If he loses the bet, there is no need for a majority, and the Aurors will definitely send him to see Merlin as an official in question. There is no room for negotiation in the current Ministry of Magic on this point.

But if he wins the bet.

Leaving aside the elimination of the punishment, he was able to show his face in front of Link.

It even made Link remember his name firmly.

To use an oriental proverb, this is equivalent to Jane in the heart of the emperor.

"It seems that I have to take back what I said in the past." Snape said with a complicated expression, "You are an outstanding and bold young man. Compared with you, Linna and the others are the heads of trolls."

Allen's wave definitely won the bet.

Link wouldn't sit back and watch him and the Malfoys be insulted anyway.

At this point Snape had absolute confidence.

And hearing this, a bright smile finally appeared on Emily's face again.

He bowed his body slightly, and said modestly:

"You have praised Professor Snape. I am not as good as you said, and Lena and the others are not so stupid. In fact, we are all working hard for a common cause, but some of our ideas are different. So in principle , we are comrades-in-arms, comrades, not enemies.”

The corners of Snape's mouth couldn't help but twitched, and he said sarcastically:

"It's the cult of personality again. This extreme model can't go far!"

"Ah! Professor Snape, you are definitely experienced in this regard. After all, both Voldemort and Dumbledore did the same thing."

Allen said disdainfully, "However, Commissioner Foley is different from those two. If your comprehension is okay, you should understand that what we are loyal to is not Commissioner Foley, but the ongoing cause of Commissioner Foley!

Since the reorganization of the Ministry of Magic, so many changes have taken place in the entire magic world of the country!

Our perpetrators got what they deserved!

Under the strict laws and regulations, our officials have achieved a level of integrity far beyond the previous one!

Our people have gained a sense of security and can carry out activities freely without fear of being harmed!

Our commercial society has finally got rid of the shackles of the oligarchs and has been opened up!

You should have seen this just now, right?

A large part of those people in the hall today are foreign businessmen attracted by the Ministry of Magic's investment promotion policy. Their arrival has provided us with a lot of cheap and useful goods! It also made the Ministry of Magic's business tax reach a new high in history!

thanks to these policies.

Our people are getting richer and richer!

Our country is also becoming stronger and stronger!

Open your eyes and see, Professor Snape, the world has changed! "

Allen proclaimed loudly with his arms outstretched.

His voice kept echoing in the narrow elevator, deafening!

And when his words fell, the door of the elevator finally opened.

"Professor Snape, your destination has arrived, and the next journey will be smooth, so I don't want to send you off."

Allen stood at the elevator entrance, stretched out his hand and made a please gesture while talking.

Snape didn't say much either.

Taking Narcissa and Draco out of the elevator, they just took a deep look at each other when they passed by Alan's side.

Maybe Narcissa and Draco couldn't understand what Allen wanted to express, but Snape did.

The other party did this simply because they didn't want to argue with him anymore.

It expresses the meaning that no matter what, I will continue to stick to my career.

This will is really firm.

Snape looked away, and walked straight into the Department of Magical Law Enforcement with Narcissa and Draco.

The three of them walked through the long corridor, and walked straight into the Auror headquarters under the strange gazes of busy officials.

Narcissa is no stranger to this place.

As a remnant of the previous generation of Death Eaters, it can be said that the Aurors did not have the slightest affection for Lucius Malfoy.

For a long time, they were just like Arthur Weasley, the rival of the Malfoy family, always thinking of going to Malfoy Manor to trouble Lucius.

It's just that the biggest difference between them and Arthur Weasley is that Arthur Weasley needs to find the right excuse and timing if he makes trouble, but the Aurors are completely different. Their free search power makes They can come and go from Malfoy Manor as they please.

And this directly led to Lucius Malfoy being taken back to the Auror Command almost every other week during that time.

This bad situation didn't improve until Lucius spent a lot of money to buy Fudge, who had successfully established himself.

But the previous long targeting has caused both Lucius and Narcissa to have a great psychological shadow on the Auror Command, and it is impossible to be familiar with it.

So as soon as she stepped into the threshold of the Auror Command, Narcissa's breathing became even more rapid.

The lobby of the Auror Headquarters is actually not much different from the common office buildings in later generations.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows projected a lot of sunlight with the help of the magic curtain, illuminating the spacious Auror headquarters brightly.

Further in the hall, there are a large number of desks.

They were placed in the open hall like this.

There is almost a clerical staff in suits and leather shoes sitting behind each desk, dealing with the mountains of documents in front of them.

On the other side of the hall, there are several large tables.

One of the tables is full of strangely shaped mugs. A huge teapot is snoring and steaming. After the tea is boiled, it will automatically fly up to fill each mug, and then the mug will pass through some The special magic power was instantly transmitted to their master's desk.

At the other tables, there were several young people who looked like interns.

Countless documents, files, and letters are constantly appearing on the desktop.

And all they have to do is to classify these documents and then hand them over to the clerks in front for processing.

The Auror headquarters formed by them seemed noisy and chaotic, and there would even be a burst of quarreling or cursing from time to time, but in fact, it was full of order.

They are like the neural network of the entire Auror army and striker army. Through the neural nodes composed of clerks, they pass the processed orders and instructions to each Auror, rigorous and meticulous.

Looking at this scene, Narcissa's breathing has become more and more short.

This is not only because the working scene in front of us is highly efficient and dense enough to make people's blood pressure rise just by looking at it.

It was because all this reminded her of PDST towards the Auror Command.

In my impression, the Auror Command should not be so busy except during the war.

Because the only tasks that the Auror troops need to perform in normal times are routine training, and there is no need for other orders from the Auror Command.

And the current situation, it is clear that the Auror Command is issuing high-density orders to the Auror troops and striker troops.

What are they doing?

Is it going to war again?

"Hey! You three, what are you doing?!"

Just as Narcissa was thinking wildly, a not-so-friendly voice suddenly sounded from their side.

The three of them heard the reputation and looked around, only to realize that the person speaking was a man in a combat uniform with a ferocious expression on his face.

Behind him, there were several wizards in the same attire standing separately.

It's a little strange that these guys are a little too old for Aurors.

And they all have different degrees of disabilities.

Some lost their arms, some lost their thighs, and some even had all their limbs made of alchemy.

However, these scars and disabilities, in turn, increased their vicious temperament.

Narcissa just glanced at them, and could feel a fierce aura that was incompatible with the surrounding clerks rushing towards her.

"I, I, we are..."

Narcissa stammered.

Under the tremendous mental pressure, she felt her body was extremely stiff.

"We're here to fetch Lucius Malfoy out of prison." Snape took the conversation, perhaps recalling what happened at the gate of the hall earlier, he paused and then said, "I'm Severer Snape."

"Severus Snape?"

The vicious Auror at the head repeated it again, as if he was thinking about the specialness of the name, and the next moment, the expression on his face suddenly changed, "You are the one who was a professor at Hogwarts?" Nep?"

Hearing this, Snape rarely restrained his poisonous tongue, and just nodded.

Seeing this, the vicious Auror laughed loudly and said:

"Hahaha! So it's the young master's professor, this is a distinguished guest!"

Master?

Snape narrowed his eyes, and vaguely guessed the identities of these guys.

"You," he asked tentatively, "are you all hunters of the Foley family?"

"Of course! We used to hang out with Boss Kled! Originally, we were crippled, so we should have been kicked out of the house. But now that the young master is promising, we naturally got some credit and were kicked out of the house." I was placed here and became an Auror stationed in the headquarters. To be honest, my fate is really amazing. I have been a thief kicked out by the Aurors all my life, and I can turn into an Auror in the end! Hahahaha! This Thanks to our Eldest Young Master!"

The fierce Auror at the head seemed to be a chatterbox, and chattered a lot, not only acknowledging Snape's inquiry, but even said out loud that he and others came in through the back door.

This made Narcissa a little dumbfounded.

She said almost instinctively:

"Is it okay if you say this publicly?"

"What can happen?"

The Auror's eyes widened, he grabbed a passing trainee clerk and said loudly, "Hey! Boy, do you think there will be anything wrong if I say this here?"

The trainee clerk who was caught was still holding a large stack of documents in his arms. He almost fell to the ground after being caught like this.

After finally stabilizing, he gave the big man a helpless look, shook his head and said:

"How could something happen?"

He looked at Narcissa and Snape again and said, "Professor Snape, you don't have to be surprised. It is the custom of the Auror troops to use some disabled veterans for the security work of the Auror Command. As for these A former Leigh hunter-turned-Auror is actually fine.

After all, since Commissioner Foley came to power, the funding of our Auror Command has more than doubled. Not only the original disabled veterans and the dead Aurors and strikers received due pensions and compensation, even the salaries of us incumbents have increased a lot. Facing such a big boss, it would be strange for us to have any opinions!

And ah, Uncle Mario and the others are actually quite nice.

Sometimes they even help us clean up and clean things together, and there are no shelves.

It's just too loud sometimes. "

"Ha! Little guy, I heard all the bad things you said about me! You're going to be screwed next time we drink together!"

The big man named Mario spoke loudly, which made the intern clerk look helpless.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, come with us quickly, the young master's professor."

Mario bid farewell to the intern clerk, waved his hand, and led the three of Snape into a dark door in the corner.

Behind the door is a small lounge. A dozen hunters who are also disabled and have a fierce temperament are gathering around a long table and playing wizard cards. It can be seen from the large number of gold coins piled up on the table. , they all played great.

Under the dim light of the magic chandelier on the top of the room, the entire lounge was filled with a thick smoke.

The smell of sweat, the smell of tobacco, and swearing mixed together, making this good lounge a mess of smoke and chaos.

As soon as Narcissa and Draco came in, they couldn't help covering their mouths and noses.

Mario didn't care, he led the three of them through the lounge, opened another iron door, and walked down a narrow stone path.

While walking, he was still talking endlessly:

"That little guy just now is quite interesting, right? We often drink together. The only thing that makes me uncomfortable is that they are too busy with work, and it is difficult to find time to be with us. I heard from the young master that they are here Carry out law and order maintenance work throughout the magic world of the country.

Just like last time, when there were Death Eaters or other short-sighted guys preparing to attack, the Auror troops would be able to strike immediately. And such high-intensity work can also be used as training, which can make the response of Auror troops more sensitive and faster. Anyway, I don't really understand it, but it's right that it's very powerful.

Alas, if my hand is not broken, I will probably be directed around by these little guys now, or continue to work under the hands of Boss Kled, right? Oh no, it's time to call him Director Kled.

What a blessing in misfortune! "

Although Mario said so, the nostalgia and regret on his face were undoubtedly revealed.

Obviously, compared to the current generous retirement life, he misses the bloody battlefield before even more, even though it is likely that he will be commanded by those little guys.

And Snape got another important message from Mario's words.

That is, Link has completely mastered the entire Auror army.

This can be seen from the fact that old Kled has become the head of the Auror's office.

At the same time, the original hunter group of the Foley family seems to have integrated into the Auror army, but it is still independent.

They just changed from the original hunter group to an existence similar to Link's inner guard.

This kind of internal army that directly obeys the orders of old Klein and Link is even stronger than the real Auror army!

With its powerful military power, growing wealth, and popular prestige, plus Alan and Linna, who are not in the minority and who are absolutely loyal to Link, the Ministry of Magic, if you give them some To what extent will the development time be strong?

Snape couldn't even imagine it.

But there is no doubt that he will be stronger than any Ministry of Magic in this world.

As for the Death Eaters that Voldemort once created.

Ah.

Even the Death Eaters in the most powerful period are not as good as a little finger in the Ministry of Magic of this country.

And all of this was created by Link!

Thinking of this, Snape couldn't help sighing.

Since mastering the Foley family, every decision Link has made can be said to be on the right rhythm.

He never seemed to make a mistake.

Whether it is the reform and development of the Foley family, or the promotion and reform of the Ministry of Magic.

Link Foley, as if he knew him from birth.

"Okay, here we are, the temporary prison of the Auror Command, the Lucius Malfoy you mentioned is here."

Mario's voice interrupted Snape's thinking, and made Snape finally notice that the scenery around him had changed.

The original bright stone path has disappeared, replaced by a huge long underground space.

Because it is only illuminated by a few magic lamps, it looks extremely dim here.

Caves were artificially dug out on both sides of the rock wall and sealed with iron railings to form cells.

However, unlike other serious dungeons, there were no prisoners in the cell that Snape and the others saw.

The inside was empty, except for some dampness, it was surprisingly clean!

This should be a more comfortable scene, after all, no one doesn't like cleanliness.

Just looking at the empty cells around him, Draco couldn't help shivering.

He knew very well that there was a high probability that there were prisoners in the cells in front of him.

And the reason why it is empty now can only be caused by one reason.

They were all executed!
