Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

The attacker was still hiding in the fog and did not reveal his position.Crabbe can't act anymore."Nott!" He roared to his accomplices, "Did you find the direction of this bastard!"

But Knott’s condition is as bad as Crabbe’s. His limbs are not like Crabbe, but his body swells at an extremely exaggerated speed, as if someone is in his body. After installing a pipe, it kept sending air, even the loose robe couldn't stop the fate of bursting.

Rodolphs cursed in a low voice, intending to help Nott lift the curse on him. Nott's eyeballs were about to squeeze into the swelling flesh of his cheeks, turning into two long slits.It was much faster to solve the trouble caused by the expansion curse than to clean up Crabbe's body organs everywhere.But as soon as he raised his wand, the wreckage of a car hit him at high speed.

With a cold snort in his heart, Rodolphs swiped his wand down, and the car was cut into two pieces as if it had been split from top to bottom by an invisible blade. The edge scraped the ground with a harsh sound and rolled and disappeared. Gone.

"Echoes." Rodolphs fired a spell from the approximate location where the car had just flown. The man who got feedback a moment later sneered, "I found you." His body twisted and disappeared in place. When he appeared again, he was already Appearing behind the target, the person apparently hadn't noticed that someone had touched behind him, standing there holding his wand on guard.

"Avadasuo fate!" Without hesitation, he raised his wand, and the death curse hit the target without any accident. The figure with a vague figure in the thick fog twisted and fell to the ground, Rodolphs Going forward, grabbing the man's robe to make him turn around, he wants to look at the man's face.

A lifeless face slammed into his field of vision, eyes hollow.Rudolphs’ pupils shrank suddenly. It is impossible not to be shocked because he participated in the arrest. Like other Death Eaters who participated in the operation, he personally watched Amelia Burns in a brief moment. After stubborn resistance, they were killed by Voldemort. When they left the hut, the mark of green skeletons and snakes shone in the sky.

But the surprise forced him to stop thinking briefly, even forgetting that he should avoid it immediately.The doll with Amelia's appearance rushed forward with two slender arms around Rodolphs' waist. Even though Rodolphs' physique is not as strong as Crabbe, at least he is not as strong as a normal adult male. Little, but I can’t get rid of it.He just wanted to explode the doll's arm, the arm was twisted behind his back, and the wand rolled to the side grunting.

When he looked again, the doll had turned into a snake with the size of his arm, wrapped tightly around Rodolphes, using force that seemed to crush his internal organs.The snake's fangs flashed with ominous cold light, and it opened its mouth and bit on his shoulder.With a scream, Rodolphs' body suddenly became stiff after a few seconds, and a little black appeared on his cheeks.

After a while, the two figures ran through the dense fog to the fallen Rodolphs. One of them was still holding a pair of struggling thighs. Even though the spicy dance curse on them had been lifted, they Still trying to escape from Hermione.

Zoe ran to Rodolphes, took the antidote from his pocket, and poured it down without hesitation.The black and purple that had been entwining Rodolphs for a while faded away, replacing them with the blood color representing health. He was still in a coma, and his body became soft.

"Do you still carry the antidote with you?" Hermione cast a petrification spell on Crabbe's leg and came to help Zoe with peace of mind, just in case they took Rodolphes' wand and tied his The hands and feet also cast him a petrification curse. If it weren't for not being able to do so, they would probably also give him an anti-phantom shifting curse.

"Professor Snape asked me to take a few bottles with me, saying that it can prevent some sudden hazards, but the effect is limited." Zoe sighed, "Know that the pure poison is like a label on it now, and it says "My antidote is good."

"Also, poisons with a single ingredient are more likely to be exposed, so it's better to take a bit more effort to cook mixed varieties. The antidote of mixed poisons generally requires on-site preparation, and the ingredients are still complicated." Hermione nodded.

"But it still works, for example, now." Zoe wiped his sweat and finally gave him the poison before he killed Rodolphs.She glanced at the sky, and the plan was so successful this time because of the fog created by the dementors so that the two of them could reach their goals more easily.

As soon as Crabbe and Nott were also dealt with (nott is now like an ugly hot air balloon, floating in the air with his feet tied up by a rope), a scream of fear came across the dense fog.When they came to the place where the sound was made, the dementors evaded their patron saints and wreaked havoc among the dwindling crowd. The entangled Muggles could do nothing but rush with their legs, they could not even see When the dementors existed, it was just the chill that permeated all around and the negative and desperate emotions constantly replaying in their hearts that made them intuitively want to escape.

But before they have run a few steps, some of them will struggle to float up in the air, with their legs leaping into the air, their arms dragging invisible things, and finally falling to the ground with empty eyes, causing a deeper panic.

"Holy guard!" Hermione had just called out her patron saint, only to find that Zoe hadn't moved."Hurry up, Zoe! More people will die like this!"

Zoe waved her hand. She frowned and walked two steps forward, staring carefully at a dementor. The dementor had just sucked away a person's soul, and the darkness under the hood was slowly moving. Soon I found a new target, and I was planning to suck its soul away.

"Tang En." Zoe put the wand on her throat, her voice suddenly increased several times, "Stop."

Hermione was shocked to see that the dementor who had taken off the hood was really still in place, and the young man caught by it was crying, hoping that God would keep him alive."Let go of the person in your hand, Dunn." The dementor didn't do it right away this time. Its inhuman face looked at where Zoe was, and it took a while to slowly and reluctantly. Let go of your hand.

The young man sat on the ground without screaming, crying and crawling to other places.At this moment, Hermione's patron saint kept rushing towards the other dementors, and Zoe would spit a new name from his mouth, and the dementors would stay still.

There was a thin, dense cold sweat on Zoe’s face. Not every dementor is willing to give up preying on human souls as she said, but they are obviously forced by something, even if they are reluctant, they cannot resist. .Hermione even noticed that they were still on the sidelines even though they had temporarily stopped their attacks.They stared in Zoe's direction, as if waiting for her exhausted moment, before attacking her again.

The silver otter guarded in front of Zoe, and the silver mist emitted made the monster retreat again and again."I know you can understand, at least you can understand most of it." Zoe didn't take his eyes away from the dementor, but looked straight into the darkness. "If you don't retreat this time, I will To ruin you is not to retreat. You know I can do it."

Clouds of black smoke rose from the ground, and the dementors retreated.The piercing coldness has not disappeared for a long time, but it has gradually become thinner.

"What do you think these Muggles will mention about this afterwards?" After the patron saint scattered the silver mist and disappeared, Hermione looked at the mess around. "Let's go, Zoe, we have to visit Shelly and the others. Case."

"They will no longer have memories related to magic. One of the Ministry's responsibilities is to ensure this." A cold voice sounded strong just by hearing it.

The Aurors (the kind of unique temperament on them are usually easy to distinguish) Apparitions appearing around one by one, they construct an invisible barrier, circle the Muggles who have not had time to escape, and let Other unknowing Muggles would not come in by mistake, and then more Ministry of Magic officials appeared, holding their wands and rushing to the frightened Muggles to erase their memories.

Chapter VII The New Minister (Part 2)

Zoe’s impression of the new minister Rufus Scrimgeour probably still remains in the Daily Prophet, the interview with him when he replaced Fudge, and the front page of his Large photo framed with Fudge.The two men in the photo have distinct looks. Fudge is like a balloon pierced by a needle. Even facing the camera, it is difficult to hide the frustration and loss on his face; but Scrimgeour is like a stubborn stone statue. Standing next to Fudge, his back was straight, and his expression under the gold-rimmed glasses was serious and tough, giving people the feeling of an old lion ready to bet his life to defend the territory.

With this photo alone, we can understand why the people chose Scrimgeour as the new Minister of Magic by an overwhelming majority after Fudge made a mistake. Scrimgeour, as the previous Auror office director, is weaker than Wen Tun. Fudge is more suitable to be the leader of the Ministry of Magic during the war, and it can make the people feel more at ease.

However, the new minister with a tough posture did not achieve much in the confrontation with Voldemort's forces. Not to mention the smooth arrest of the Death Eaters who planned the murder, and even the efficiency of preventing and stopping the incident was very bad. More than ten years of peace. Once broken, the nerves that had been paralyzed by Anle couldn't move smoothly.The current Ministry of Magic, which was unable to effectively contain the rampant attack trend, gradually realized that the people's trust in them and the social order of wizards were accelerating collapse.

"You really came in'time', Mr. Minister. It just happened to catch up with our helpless finishing work." Zoe smiled sarcastically.She now has a thorough knowledge of the efficiency problem that has been raised more and more frequently by the "Daily Prophet" recently, and it seems to be much more serious than expected.

Scrimgeour's face froze, a little angry.When he looks at others, someone with a slightly weaker personality may even be stiff.But Zoe only calmly looked at Scrimgeour’s eyes, she had never liked the Ministry of Magic, and she knew the fact that the other party saw herself as a troublesome figure. This hostility did not even pretend to be both sides. .

But Scrimgeour didn't seem to want to spend time arguing with Zoe. He took a deep look at Zoe, and then shelved the girl's offense against him."Zoe Siegel and Hermione Granger, you used magic in front of Muggles against the rules."

"With all due respect, sir." Hearing what he said, Hermione frowned and raised her hand. "I think you also know that Article 7 of the "Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards Act" says--"

"'You can use magic in front of Muggles under special circumstances, including situations where the wizard himself is in danger and forced to defend himself, or the lives of Muggles and other wizards are threatened.' I am very clear that these regulations are written What." He used to squeeze a small smile on his tight face, which was fleeting, but Hermione could feel that he was not intending to use the terms to hurt them.

"As soon as I received the information that a dementor appeared on this street, I immediately organized a team to rush over, but something went wrong in the previous department. Although you used magic illegally, you did protect a lot of Muggle lives. It’s a proud achievement to be able to use the Patronus curse at a young age.” Scrimgeour stared at the people coming and going, parchment floating in front of a few Ministry of Magic officials, and more people said. He was busy holding his magic wand, and every time he called a Muggle whose memory had been washed, he would spell that Muggle to make them fall asleep, and the quill floating in front of the paper crossed out the name.

Hermione blinked unexpectedly, and the new minister felt much more serious than the face-saving and hypocritical Fudge.She just glanced at Zoe's direction. The girl finally put away the hostility that had overflowed before, but still kept the attitude of observation. She would not trust Scrimgeour so quickly, especially since the other party had been with Dumble upon taking office. Lido has a dispute.

"If you had time to listen to a whole piece of information, you should have guessed that it was not just the dementors that disturbed the Muggles' peaceful life." Zoe pointed to the other side. After the dementors left, they produced The dense fog quickly dilutes.The figures of the three Death Eaters who fell on the ground became more conspicuous, "We also solved the three Death Eaters."

Scrimgeour looked at the two in surprise."I can only say that it is incredible, you are just two underage wizards." He called a few Aurors to check the situation, and he strode forward.

"Their wands are with us, because they can't kill people, so they just did a little bit of treatment." Zoe introduced, and she and Hermione handed the three wands to the Auror who was about to start busy (and ignored the one who took it. The wand's Auror looks thoughtfully).

Scrimgeour also squatted down to check the surroundings. He picked up Crabbe's right hand that had fallen to the ground, pulled off the chain that had been attached to Nott, and rolled Rodolphs' eyelids again.The more he checked, the astonishment on his face became more and more obvious. The entourage quickly took the three of them into custody. The moment he solved the curse on Rudolphs, he suddenly bit an Auror’s arm, and then again. Was knocked out by the Auror.

Shelly and Kobuk were the last two survivors among the six, and the two who were nearly sucked their souls were sent to the St. Mungo Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries along with other Muggles in similar conditions. Amnestics will not be performed until the body recovers.Coincidentally, the leader of the therapists who rushed to the scene to receive the wounded was the graduated Doris.

"I'm going to die!" In the first second of the meeting, Doris rolled her eyes at the two with those therapist companions behind her back. "You absolutely can't imagine how many different kinds of patients are filled in the entire Saint Mungo. The schedule was so dense that it almost choked me." She was wearing the green uniform of a therapist, with the official therapist qualification badge on her chest.

Generally, if students who graduate from Hogwarts aspire to become therapists, they need to go to a therapist training institution for at least half a year of specialized courses before they are eligible to take the therapist qualification exam.

"Qualification exam? I'm tired of all the things that need to be tested since I was little, and I can pass it with my eyes closed." When Hermione really asked her this question, Doris touched her face depressed.

"I thought you would make your cake smartly." Zoe deliberately made an incredibly exaggerated expression, "Don't you want to inherit the family business even if you die?"

"Don't mention it, the hospital is not well-staffed. If my convenient labor force is not used properly, I think whether my mother has been cast an Imperius curse, even if the curse does not work as well for you." Doris sighed, "My mother gave me an ultimatum. If I didn't choose to help first, she wouldn't be able to open my cake shop."

"But that's fine. Compared to those stupid Death Eaters, my future shop prefers to receive normal people." Doris waved to them, "Ah, I really want to go back to Hogwarts to continue class, at least In this way, I can still snooze in the office of the president of the student union, instead of taking away my last free time." After that, she ran to meet her companion.

"Your friend?" Scrimgeour walked over, he had already explained what to do, and he had finished speaking with the therapist of St. Mungo.These neutral guys relied on the irreplaceability of the therapist resources partly, partly because of the powerful shelter of the Bohan family, even in the face of Scrimgeour himself, they had a cold attitude that did not care much about others.

"She is the former chairwoman of Hogwarts." Zoe did not affirm or deny Scrimgeour's statement."I remember her, the only daughter of the current Bohan family's parent, the'High-profile Doris', who helped in the hospital when she was a child. Many people said that as long as she is willing to study on this road, she will not be successful. Will be lower than Saint Mungo Bohan."

"Unless she choked her throat because of the cake she was trying to eat and caused excessive hypoxia in her brain, otherwise I don't think she will become the kind of person you said." Zoe shrugged, somewhat amused, which is probably fate. A kind of human.

"Do you have anything else you want to tell us, Minister?" Hermione noticed Scrimgeour standing still looking at them with complicated and deep eyes.

"It's about the three arrested Death Eaters." Scrimger paused. "Have you ever thought of becoming an Auror?"

Hermione was a little surprised, but Zoe shook her head quickly.Scrimgeour was also not surprised by Zoe's attitude. There was no other way. The parties had to solve the knot.So he focused more on Hermione's lobbying.

"I thought about working in the Ministry of Magic in the future, sir." Hermione said, "but I want to go to the Magical Beast Management and Control Department, or the Magic Law Enforcement Department...I am not not interested in this job of Auror, I just think It doesn’t suit me.” She thought for a while and looked up at Scrimgeour. “Or you can consider two of my friends: Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. They have this idea, and I Knowing that they can all be good Aurors."

"Of course, Miss Granger, we will examine the good seedlings carefully." Zoe keenly noticed that Scrimgeour was not too interested in this, even though his eyes flickered when he heard Harry's name. I could feel that the reason why he brought up such a topic was not really trying to find a few backup members for the Auror office.

"But I think you can definitely meet with my new Auror office director Gadevin Robaz, I can take you to see him, and then reconsider whether to join us and become a Ministry of Magic..." Before Lin Jie had finished speaking, Zoe slowly raised his hand and asked a question that Scrimgeour would never answer directly.

"Sir, can you please answer me a question?" She asked tentatively, "What does the Ministry of Magic plan to do with these three Death Eaters?"
