Witcher at Hogwarts

Chapter 75 The Butcher of Knockturn Alley

Something big happened in Knockturn Alley. The explosion in Knockturn Alley could even be heard in Diagon Alley. The huge explosion woke up the residents of Diagon Alley. They stood up and looked at the flames in Knockturn Alley with confusion.

As soon as the Auror Office received the message from Tonks' Patronus, groups of Aurors and Strikers rushed towards Knockturn Alley like frightened mules.

Aurors have always known that Knockturn Alley is very chaotic. Due to the lack of management ability, the Ministry of Magic has always acquiesced in the existence of Knockturn Alley.

But the Ministry of Magic never expected that the dark wizards living in Knockturn Alley had secretly organized such a huge force and triggered a large-scale dark wizard riot.

Alastor Moody led a large group of Aurors towards Knockturn Alley. Although Moody had retired long ago, the Department of Magical Law Enforcement invited Moody to come back as soon as they received the news to deal with the situation. This is a difficult emergency.

Rufus Scrimgeour and Kingsley Shacklebolt also followed closely with strikers and Aurors respectively. This time the Ministry of Magic deployed almost all its armed forces.

Alastor Moody was already an Auror during the First Wizarding War. He defeated many notorious Dark wizards in battle and captured Death Eaters that could fill half of the cells in Azkaban.

Also during the First Wizarding War, Moody lost his leg and replaced it with a wooden leg; he also lost an eye and replaced it with a magic eye that can rotate 360 ​​degrees.

By the time Moody retired, he was widely regarded as the finest Auror of his time.

Alastor Moody's prosthetic legs did not affect his speed at all. His wooden legs rhythmically hit the hard stone ground as he ran.

And his prosthetic eyes were fixed on the thick smoke column rising from Knockturn Alley. With many years of experience, he had already sensed that something extremely serious had happened in Knockturn Alley.

Knockturn Alley was suddenly overwhelmed by the influx of a large number of Aurors and strikers. When some dark wizards saw so many Aurors, they subconsciously thought that it was their fault and either ran away or started to fight back. .

Both of these actions touched the tense nerves of the Aurors, and the Aurors fired the curse without even warning.

The poor dark wizards were hit by several spells and flew straight up, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Moody had no time to pay attention to these small things. He led a large group of Aurors to go straight to the place where the incident occurred.

Along the way, the Auror team also had several small encounters with the defeated dark wizards of the Church of the Mirror.

At this time, most of the small building had been swallowed up by the magic fire sent by Mary. Fortunately, Ethan released a counter-spell to extinguish the fire.

When Moody arrived, only the newly burned ruins of the small building were still smoking.

Moody's magic eye wandered around to observe the surrounding situation. When he found Ethan standing in the field holding a long sword, the magic eye immediately focused on Ethan.

Ethan's whole body was covered in blood due to the battle just now, and behind him were the ruins billowing with smoke. He really didn't look very "decent" right now.

The Aurors who came together looked at the bloody scene in front of them in amazement. Although they had handled many cases, this was the first time they had seen this kind of scene where flesh and blood were everywhere and corpses were everywhere.

"Put down your weapons and raise your hands!" Moody shouted at Ethan, raising his wand.

Ethan narrowed his eyes and looked at Moody, who was waving his wand. He was still standing aside with the sword in his right hand and did not make any movement. Ethan felt a little angry in his heart. These Aurors are just like the police in the movie. It was too late when the battle was over.

Ethan's indifference aroused Moody's anger, and the tip of Moody's staff lit up with a red light.

As he got older, Moody became more and more suspicious and didn't believe in anything. He thought he saw a dark wizard wherever he went.

Moody once smashed a birthday present to pieces on his birthday because he suspected it was a cleverly disguised basilisk egg. Turns out it was just a travel alarm clock.

Now that he saw Ethan's strange look, and that Ethan didn't listen to his orders, Moody's nerves were once again tense to the extreme.

"Oh my god, this is a misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding!" Tonks finally stood up. She stood between Ethan and Moody and explained the current situation to Moody in the shortest possible words.

After hearing Tonks' explanation, Moody relaxed a little. He lowered his wand and looked at Ethan carefully with his eyes again, especially looking at Ethan's amber cat eyes for a long time.

"Where are you from? I've never seen you before." Moody approached Ethan, his magic eyes still locked on Ethan, as if he wanted to see some clues from Ethan's face. So that he could arrest Ethan immediately.

"My name is Ethan, and I am a professor at Hogwarts." Ethan answered Moody's words honestly. With the steps provided by Tonks, Ethan no longer had to hold on.

"I know all the professors at Hogwarts, and there is absolutely no one like you in Hogwarts!" Moody was like a frightened cat after hearing Ethan's words, and quickly distanced himself from Ethan, and then started again Pointing the wand at Ethan, "Tell me the truth, what do you do?"

"Are you a professor at Hogwarts?" Tonks also widened her eyes in surprise. She had just graduated from Hogwarts not long ago, and Ethan had just become a professor, so Tonks naturally didn't listen. Said Ethan's name.

"I think I can prove that Ethan is indeed my latest hired professor." With a burst of sound, Dumbledore used the Apparition Spell to arrive at the scene. The battle finally alerted Dumbledore.

With Dumbledore's assurance, Moody finally removed his suspicion of Ethan. He finally put away his wand and said, "If that's the case, then I."

Before Moody finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of light and sound around the people. Moody was startled again. He pulled out his wand and pointed at the source of the sound and light.

Only then did Moody notice that a woman had appeared around them. She was wearing a pair of jewelry-encrusted glasses, and her blond hair was styled into delicate, stiff, and weird curls.

Her teeth were exposed, and she opened a smile that she obviously thought was charming. It looked particularly awkward when paired with her big-chin face. Her fat fingers held a magic camera and took pictures everywhere.

While Moody was observing her, she took a few close-ups of Ethan and Dumbledore.

"It's amazing, it's amazing!" Rita completely ignored Moody's wand pointing at her and walked straight towards Ethan.

Then he asked like a barrage of questions, "Did you do all this? Why did you kill them? Did someone instruct you to do this? Can you accept my interview?" A dark green shorthand sign Quills were poised around her, ready to record something.

Ethan recognized this woman. She was Rita Skeeter, a reporter from the Daily Prophet. A female reporter who talked nonsense just to attract attention. Ethan shut his mouth tightly because he said anything. Her words may be misinterpreted.

"How did you get here? Go away! This is the scene of a crime! Someone take him away!" This reporter who appeared here out of nowhere made Moody furious, and he rudely called his Aurors to drive him away. Rita Skeeter.

This rough treatment made Rita Skeeter curl her lips in dissatisfaction. She had already thought about how to write the title of tomorrow's newspaper, which was called "The Butcher of Knockturn Alley"
