Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"Have you seen enough? If you see enough, come out!"

When Maca and the windbreaker were still walking around in black and white London, a figure appeared from outside that space.

Undoubtedly, that was Helbo-although he did not enter the space where Maca was, he seemed to be able to see what was happening inside with his own eyes. Ben direction.

And in the next moment after that, all the Muggles sent by Maca into the dungeon of the Ministry of Magic began a terrible change.

Obviously, if the Muggles have problems individually, they can be called "accidental."But if it happened almost at the same time, it is estimated that no one is operating behind the scenes and no one will believe it.

...

"At present, the 10th underground floor where the dungeon is located has been completely isolated, but none of the Aurors who had been dispatched came back..."

At the moment in the meeting room of the Ministry of Magic, Snape and Slughorn were listening to a report on the status quo.

Judging from the entire known history described in the report, the Muggle mutation that broke out in that dungeon was quite sudden.Had it not been for Maca and Kingsley to carefully set the emergency response in advance, it would have been too late to say anything.

"According to the director’s instructions, there were two groups of team members guarding and patrolling in the corridor outside the dungeon. The several therapists sent by St. Mungo also happened to leave immediately after conducting routine checks on the Muggles. Cell..."

"So, when the cell door was destroyed, only a group of left-behind team members died. And everyone else, including the therapist, has now been confirmed to have survived."

After hearing the report of the Auror who was in charge of escorting the therapist at the time, Snape thought for a while and asked quickly:

"So? Do you have more specific details about those Muggles?"

"Oh, Hankins knows better than me about this."

The Auror saw him asking, and immediately turned and gestured to the other Auror behind him.

"He is Tommy Hankins. This morning he was the team member responsible for patrolling after the therapist's inspection time—" he introduced. "At that time, their group also left after we escorted the therapist away. We left about ten minutes earlier than the third group who stayed at the end to buy us time."

Speaking of this, the Auror couldn't help but pause for a while.

They are Aurors, and they are mentally prepared for things like sacrifice for business.However, the colleagues died to ensure that their two teams complete their tasks, which is still sad after all.

However, after all, they are enlightened. After a small pause, he said with a whole expression:

"In addition, Hankins' team is also the team responsible for opening the multi-protection spell. They did the task of emergency isolation of the ten underground floors."

"On behalf of the Ministry of Magic, thank you again for your contribution." Scrimgeour nodded sincerely beside him.

Of course Snape ignored Scrimgeour's words, and after the Auror briefly stated his colleague's work, his attention was then placed on the Hankins Auror.

"Hello, Mr. Snape."

Hankins took a step, and the tough facial contour revealed his firm heart.

"I did pay special attention to the state of Muggles at the time," he said earnestly. "Actually, we noticed that the abnormal change was a kind of black air. Which black air was close to the ground, from the cracks in the cell door It spreads out a little bit-I think it is a bit similar to Voldemort's Dark Death. Of course, I can't tell whether it's different."

"It didn't take long for the solid metal prison door to be destroyed by some kind of great force, and the Muggles rushed out of it."

Snape nodded slightly, frowned and said:

"It's also the same as the Dark Death, with black air all over?"

"No, that's not it," Hankins shook his head. "The black energy quickly disappeared.

At this point, he suddenly turned to say:

"But more importantly, I think they should at least retain a certain amount of wisdom-when the three groups stayed to block, some of the Muggles obviously tried to bypass them. If not for the three groups of colleagues desperately blocked , Maybe our second group will not be able to complete the task of isolation."

The tenth underground dungeon of the Ministry of Magic and the Mystery Affairs Department of the nineth underground have existed since the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic-the wizard council period, which naturally includes the multiple protection magic used for isolation today.

And this was the reason why McGonagall and Snape chose to delay and wait for a while.

But in fact, the only thing that can be used as a temporary reliance is the isolation between the tenth and ninth underground floors.

After all, the Department of Mystery Affairs on the ninth floor of the basement is too special. If those alienated Muggles break into that floor, the situation will really be out of control.

Obtaining the initial performance after the Muggle mutation, Snape immediately fell into thinking.Slughorn on the side saw that he no longer spoke, so he took the conversation.

"Minister Scrimgeour," the bald, fat old man finally stopped smiling as he usually did under the current emergency situation, "I remember the Auror mentioned it just now, and then you sent someone to look down. Ever?"

"Yes! Professor Slughorn."

Scrimgeour was naturally a student of Hogwarts.As for the former Dean of Slytherin College, he still showed considerable respect for the former little snake.

"A total of four more hitters and two Aurors were dispatched one after another, all of which were removed by apparition after the Ministry of Magic's anti-phantom manifestation curse was temporarily lifted. It's a pity that none of the six were able to return," he said. "After reaching the agreed-upon fifteen minutes of sight, we waited another five minutes or so. In the end, we could only turn on the anti-phantom manifestation again and stop risking more people to go down."

"It seems that the situation here does not seem to be optimistic!" Slughorn regretfully shook his head, "Minister Scrimgeour, I think your approach is correct, and there is no way to give up."

After that, the chairperson's table finally fell into silence for a while, and no one knew what to do.

At the end, Scrimgeour suddenly said:

"I'll just send a letter to the International Wizarding Federation-don't say anything else, at least I have to get a response from there first."

From his words alone, you can know that he has actually sent a letter long ago, and most of it was an act of asking for help when he sent someone to Hogwarts.

However, the Federation has yet to reply.

...

Not to mention the silence on the Ministry of Magic, but at this moment, Luna was accompanied by Flitwick to the street park where Maca disappeared.

It can be seen that the pit dug by Maca himself a few days ago has not been filled.And everywhere around this park, Kingsley led the people to set Muggle expulsion curses to prevent unknown Muggles from approaching this place that might still be dangerous and hidden.

"Miss Lovegood, be careful! Don't go too fast!"

The little Flitwick shook his short arms and legs and followed Luna closely.

But Luna didn't pay much attention to Professor Flitwick's screaming call. She seemed to be very curious about this place. She was busy running around and didn't mean to let go of almost every inch of space.

Since Aberforth did not directly participate in the disappearance of Maca after all, and even heard the general situation from others, he did not bring Luna here last night.

No, in fact, Luna was just wandering around London all night.

"Miss Lovegood, did you find anything?"

"Oh, um..." Luna leaned over and looked at the bottom of the pit, but she answered the question. "Professor Flitwick, how deep do you think this pit is? Will I give my leg if I jump down like this? Break it?"

"Oh!" Flitwick quickly held his wand firmly, and screamed, "Don't jump, don't jump--not to mention that you can break your leg if you fall. Who knows if there is any magic arranged by Helbo below. ?"

"Huh?" Luna straightened up immediately, "Halbo's magic...will it be possible?"

To be honest, a few days have passed since, and even if there were any traces of magical power left at the time, it has mostly faded away now.So even though Luna checked very carefully, she hadn't found anything until now.

And if there is any place in this small park that has not been sensed, it is undoubtedly the very deep vertical pothole in front of him.

"Professor Flitwick, I want to go down and take a look."

"No, no, it's absolutely not possible!" Flitwick quickly waved his hands, "Moreover, Sirius and the others must have not missed the check below. If there is a clue, they will definitely say it."

"But you have really seen everything except below here? As for the outside of the park, the probability of finding Maca must be even lower..."

Before she finished her words, she saw Luna pull out her magic wand and waved it to the ground. The dirt turned out by Maca's digging pit was immediately gathered by her and quickly transformed into a strong rope.

After wrapping the two ends of the rope around a nearby tree trunk and her waist, Luna swiftly jumped into the pit.

"Hey!"

Flitwick wanted to stop Luna who was inexplicably reckless, but he didn't expect the opponent to be faster than he expected.Especially when he didn't expect that Luna didn't even hesitate, and jumped into it.

Fortunately, Flitwick's responsiveness is quite good.

Unprepared, he saw him with two short legs, hurriedly chasing to the edge of the pit, and the magic wand in his hand quickly threw a silent floating spell.
