Want to know where those Death Eaters are fleeing?The best way is naturally to ask the person involved. In addition to the Death Eaters themselves, the Auror of the Ministry of Magic was also the experiencer of the escape, and now he is also responsible for searching.Maca came to Black House this time, the main purpose is to get in touch with Kingsley, the Auror elite.

After Lupin sent a note to Kingsley, he and Maca continued to chat together for a while, and the content of the conversation between the two people was almost concentrated in the Order of the Phoenix from now on In the direction of development.

To be honest, in the Order of the Phoenix where many capable people gather, there are unlimited possibilities.Even if you don't think about the long-term future, just a few dozen or two decades or less is enough to try many meaningful things.

It didn't take long for Sirius to also come down from the stairs, and the conversation here became more lively.

The three of them sat around one end of the long table in the reception room, drinking the tea brought by Lena, chatting almost wherever they wanted, and their thoughts diverged.

Sirius said that they can develop the Order of the Phoenix into an assisting organization at Hogwarts, and protect the school that nurtures them and even their offspring; Lupin said that they can carry out some charity activities. Activities to help those humanoid magical creatures get along well with wizards.

But Maca said that both of them have good ideas, but without funds, there are no more members to help them continue the organization.

Of course, he can't let him pay for it himself, right?If Sirius is willing to contribute to the Black family's small vault, he doesn't mind adding some benefits to these activities that seem to be impossible to make money.

As an elite Auror capable of acting, Kingsley is very efficient in doing things.Soon, he passed back all the information he knew, and the person in charge of the communication was his nominal subordinate Nifadora Tonks.

"... We tracked down a Muggle town called Steve Key last night, but after that, the clues were interrupted. We are not sure if they have left in any way, or if they are still hiding in There, we just didn't find..."

When Tonks said this, Maca nodded immediately.

"Sirius, do you want to move your body a long time ago?" He turned his head and asked Sirius.

"Is it okay?" Sirius was taken aback. "If I can, I would be very willing to accompany you for a trip-but it would not be great for me to go there? I think that the town is probably all Aurors now. ..."

Although no one remembers to trouble him anymore, his wanted warrant has not been eliminated, and he is still hanging in a corner of the Auror's office!After all, no matter what, he was also the first prisoner to escape from Azkaban, which is no small thing.

"I think it should be fine as long as you be careful." Maca shrugged. "If possible, I will put the credit on you. Then I will have reason to ask Scrimgeour to remove the Ministry of Magic. Wanted for you."

"Ha, that's a good idea!" Sirius became excited immediately, "Really, I stay here all the time, every joint of mine is going to rust!"

Looking at Sirius who was full of energy, Maca couldn't see where he "rusted" at all.This guy is a master who can't be idle, he has been like this since he was young.Regarding this point, it is already obvious that he flew to the United States last time.

But Maca was upset this time, but he didn't really want to let him go out for some relaxation.Although it was true that he could find a way to eliminate the wanted order for him in the end, this time he was called Sirius because of the suspicious Bellatrix.

Speaking of which, they are still a pair of cousins!I don’t know it’s all a family,

...

The air in Steve Key was slightly humid, and standing in the woods by the side of the town, he could smell the smell of the sea that made Maca familiar.The air flows between the mouth and nose, with a hint of salty taste.

Daylight in Britain is always very short.It was almost dusk now, and the sun was gradually setting to the west, shining golden light on the whole town covered by snow.

A Muggle expulsion curse has been cast on the streets of the town. Looking from this higher ground, there is basically no normal Muggle activity in the entire town. Only the Auror is working overtime and conducting intense searches. And patrol.

"This is the town center of Steve Key," Tonks stretched out his hand, squeezing the void in front of him, and then pointed to the far left and front, "Go straight along that road. , To the northwest is the shanty town of Steve Key, where people who live there are the less wealthy Muggles."

"Then go over there first!" Maca said clearly, "shanty towns are generally messy, it is more convenient for Tibetans or hiding things... Remember to keep the Xianyin potion ready for use at any time When it’s critical, it depends on it."

They came this time, after all, to avoid people's ears, the Ministry of Magic is not completely under Scrimgeour's control, and they have to be more careful.If Scrimgeour's political opponents spotted him, he would be stunned if he didn't say anything. He didn't have the habit of throwing his vested interests into the trash.

It is rare for the Minister of Magic to take the initiative to show his favor, and this favor is worth staying with Maca.

After the three of them looked at each other, Maca raised his staff and cast a phantom charm on all of them, and then quietly walked towards the northwest of the town.

On the way through the town center, they ran into several Auror teams, and Maca even caught Kingsley from a distance.If it wasn't for Tonks to be just a new Auror with no sense of existence, I am afraid she would not be so convenient to sneak out and lead the way for Maca.

There is no small sea breeze anywhere in the town, and most of the townspeople love to be clean, making the town look very tidy.I have to say that although Stifki is just a small seaside village, the environment with red tiles and white walls is quite pleasing to the eye.

The three of them didn't stay in this town much, and proceeded along the main road extending to the northwest.After they passed the welcoming path between two woods, the shanty town in Tonks's mouth gradually came into Maca's eyes.

The houses here...well, at least they have roofs and walls, so they can barely be called houses, right?

That's right, most of the houses here are very simple, with wood panels, iron wires and old metal pipes that can be seen everywhere, leaning against trees to build shapes.Those roofs bolted with tarpaulins and various wooden strips are piled with thick snow, which seems to be able to crush them at any time.

But these shoddy houses are still crowded next to each other, one by one, each cluster area is surrounded by dense groves.Maybe they are doing this to be warmer?But it is undoubtedly making this place even more chaotic.

This place was worse than Maca expected, and even more chaotic than Torpoint where he had lived in the past.Think about it, at least Torpoint is still a port town, even if it is far less wealthy than those big ports, it still has high-quality conditions for the circulation of money and the creation of profits.

And here, there is nothing!

"It's almost a concentration of refugees," Sirius murmured with emotion, "There are too many people in the Muggle world, and Britain is pretty good! I heard that in some countries, this kind of scene can be seen everywhere..."

"Maybe one day, when wizards and Muggles can live together in harmony, this kind of sight will become less and less." Maca casually said, "Of course, even if there is that day, it must be a long, long time later. Up."

He hadn't seen this kind of shabby scene before, but there was nothing to make a fuss about.

"Go in and take a look!"

Maca looked around for a few moments, and then walked first to a shack gathering area at the intersection.

From the perspective of people like Sirius and Tonks who have lived in a privileged environment since they were young, they will feel a lot of emotion just by looking outside.Even if Sirius has been a person who has been squatting in a ghost place like Azkaban for many years, it is a prison, and it can't be compared with this kind of hell in daily life.

But when they stepped into this barrenness, surrounded by a full range of mess, they had a new experience.

The tangible traces of life will give people an inexplicable sense of reality.Looking at the bonfires, drying racks, torn shoes and old clothes, and the garbage everywhere in the tattered huts, their walking pace became much slower, as if they were afraid that they would be disturbed if they were not paying attention.

There has also been a curse, and it can be heard that the Muggle poor are hiding in their "houses", and no one is still wandering outside.

Maca knew that if it was on weekdays, the evening here should be very lively.

"Tonks, haven't you seen those Muggle poor living here?" Seeing Tonks's expression seemed a little depressed, he couldn't help but ask quietly.

"Do you mean before the expulsion spell was cast?" Tonks shook his head, "I came with the second batch of search teams. At that time, all the spells were cast here."

"After the spell is lifted, you can come and observe again." Maca smiled, "You will understand that humans are naturally optimistic creatures-whether they are Muggles or wizards, it is the same."

"Unless you are in a place where you can't be happy." Sirius seemed to recall some unpleasant experience, he added with a sigh.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Maca's expression moved, and he turned his head and looked in a certain direction.
