Chapter 119 The Heart of the Lion (Add more)
The next day, Sunday morning.
Schelling received two letters from owls.
The first letter was a thank-you letter from Slughorn, which stated that his lover, Gwenog, had been acquitted.At the same time, he also attached two VIP seats for the Lehead Harpies, which he said had been handed over to him by Gwenogt in return for Sheering's help.
The second letter was written by Scollinger.It was a long letter, in a messy handwriting, and it was evident that he had written it in haste.
After receiving the clue from Schellinger yesterday, Scoringer hurriedly gathered his men and set off, and successfully found the place where Griffith was imprisoned, but the other party seemed to have received the news in advance and moved away before the Aurors arrived.Being able to do this shows that the other party is not easy. If it is just an ordinary fan who just wants to punish Griffith to vent her anger because of her betrayal, or an ordinary kidnapper who only seeks money, they do not have the ability to predict the actions of the Ministry of Magic.
Scoringer has already realized that there are deep waters behind this incident, and there must be an inside ghost inside the Aurors under him who has tipped off the news.Therefore, he began to no longer trust his subordinates. This time, he planned to bring his confidant, Gadvin Robards, to Hogwarts alone later today. He had already applied to Dumbledore in advance and wanted to meet with Schelling to discuss this issue.
Schellinger's letter surprised Schelling. He thought that after giving the clues to Scollinger yesterday, he would be fine. He never thought that such a seemingly insignificant missing player case would involve so many follow-ups. It seems that there are still many corners hidden in the dark underwater in the British wizarding world that he has never touched!
It's not hard to guess why Slyringer came here, he just wanted to ask where his clues came from, and see if he could find more clues from it.
However, Professor Trelawney is one of his trump cards, and her divination ability must not be exposed at will.
Xie Lin pondered for a while, and then thought of a response.
The meeting between Schelling and Scoringer took place in an empty classroom requested from Dumbledore.There were only the two of them in the classroom, and Gadvin Robards was in charge of the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
"Uncle Scolinger, I suspect that there is an insider among your Aurors, and someone is selling out information." Schelling pointed out the reason for the failure of the last operation.
Scrimgeour snorted coldly, "I was careless this time. I always knew that some of my subordinates were restless. They had some unsettled deals with outsiders, but as long as it didn't hurt the daily work of the Auror office, I just let it go. I didn't expect their courage to grow fat because of it."
He then said solemnly: "The problem is, I didn't think this mission was so complicated at the beginning. I thought it was because the fans were unwilling to make trouble. At most, they just took the opportunity to ask for a ransom, so I didn't overly guard against intelligence. Confidentiality, this is indeed my mistake, now, Schelling, you must help me, because of the attention of the masses and the media, I have been under a lot of pressure from above, and I must solve this case."
"I'm more curious," said Schelling, "if you don't get any clues from me, what are you going to do?"
Although Xie Lin raised a question, he already had an answer in his heart - what can this group of bureaucratic Ministry of Magic do, it is nothing more than catching a scapegoat.
Scoringer's eyes flashed brightly, he naturally understood what Schelling meant, but he had a bottom line in life - finding a scapegoat was fine, but if he didn't even try, he felt sorry for his ambition to become an Auror when he was young.
He said slowly, "What do you mean by that..."
"Don't get me wrong, Uncle Scolinger." Sherin smiled, "Of course I will help you, and I am capable of helping you. However, I want to remind you that your Auror troops really need to be rectified—my intelligence is also limited, and I will undoubtedly make enemies for myself by helping you in this way, and will put my informants in danger, and I will not get any benefits..."
"Don't worry, Schellinger," Scholinger gritted his teeth, as if he had made a difficult decision, "Uncle will definitely rectify the useless people under his command this time. As long as you are willing to help uncle, uncle will never forget your benefits!"
Schelling was waiting for this sentence.
"Okay, then—uncle, let's get out of here first, Hogwarts can't apparate, you have to bring me with you for this mission, just the two of us plus Robards should be enough."
The three left the gates of Hogwarts, and Apparated away.
Diagon Alley, the fork in front of Gringotts.
The three dressed up as three men in black with simple disguise magic, and stepped into Knockturn Alley.
Why did you choose to come here?
This was because Schelling reckoned that the Aurors had come to the door, and the two kidnappers who kidnapped Griffith were probably in a panic now, and they would definitely need to discuss the next plan.And to discuss this plan, it is inevitable to mention Griffith's name, so—yes, Schelling put a curse on the name of "Vilda Griffith"!
Using the induction of the Forbidden Words Curse, Xie Lin led the way, and quickly passed the storefront of Bo Jin Bo Ke's store, passed through one after another deep alleys, and finally came to a very inconspicuous dead end.
Xie Lin said in a low voice: "You two, this is the place."
Scoringer and Robards looked at each other, their faces becoming very serious.
"Schelling, this matter is probably more troublesome than we imagined..." Scoringer said.
"What do you mean?" Schelling's mentality was fine. To be honest, after learning about the "Ghost Society" and the "Walpurgis Knights" behind it, and then knowing about the existence of "Shadow of the Dragon", he felt that there was nothing to scare him anymore.
"Behind this alley is the famous Black Sin Square, which can be entered by knocking specific bricks, just like the wall of the Leaky Cauldron," Robards explained to Schelling, "The problem now is not how to get in, but..."
Scoringer frowned, "I'm afraid the backside of the Black Sin Plaza has a lot of background, and has close relations with some high-level officials of the Ministry of Magic. Over the years, the Aurors' application to sweep up here has not been approved..."
A sharp light flashed in Xie Lin's eyes, and he said coldly: "Uncle, just say it straight - the so-called high-level people refer to Yaxley, Selwyn, and Rolle!"
Scollinger was a little embarrassed at the moment, he coughed lightly, "Uncle doesn't want to hide it from you because you help uncle so much, it is indeed them, and the Lestrange family was also involved in it before, but, as you know, after the recent incident, there is almost no difference between Lestrange and Genocide."
A smile appeared on Xie Lin's mouth, "So——uncle, what are you going to do now?"
Scoringer is caught in a dilemma. If he does not continue to investigate, then he will be negligent, and the media and the public will criticize his inaction; if he continues to investigate, then he will be pushed to the forefront and make countless enemies. I am afraid that the future will be very difficult...
"Rufus, I think—" Robards' face was also extremely ugly, and he whispered close to Scollinger: "Let's forget it. Let's follow the previous routine, find a short-sighted thief, beat him into a trick, let him bear the entire charge, and then announce that Griffith has disappeared. Although it is still inevitable to bear the blame for incompetence, at least the criminal has been caught, and they can't say anything..."
"We can't really force our way in, can we?" Robards said, "The last Auror supervisor who did this was dismissed within a week for no reason, and within a year, the house was suddenly burglarized, and all the family members were killed by a black wizard who came out of nowhere, and a good person was so angry that he went crazy and went straight to St. Mungo's Hospital..."
The two were silent for almost 10 minutes.Finally, Sklinger spoke with difficulty: "Let's go!"
At this moment, Schelling spoke, and there was both sarcasm and indestructible confidence in his shining eyes, "Uncle, since you have already made a decision, I will not stop you. You go first! I decided to stay here—even if you didn't say it, I guessed what happened to Griffith. I am a man, and I can't stand by her misfortune, especially when I know she still has a chance of being saved—"
Xie Lin's tone was solemn and sacred, making people feel the determination in his heart that cannot be changed by anything, "I don't want to, from now on, every night in my dreams, I will hear her cry and face the questioning of my conscience!"
"Schelling, you!" Scoringer didn't expect that Schelling would say that. He was very optimistic about this young man, and Dumbledore knew that Schelling was following him to do business. If something happened to Schelling, it would not be a matter of arresting a dead ghost to take the blame.
"Uncle, I've made up my mind. You don't need to say more." Xie Lin's voice suddenly turned cold, "I won't hurt you, I'll write a letter to my family right now, and clear this matter from your relationship, so that my family won't trouble you—"
"However, I have to say," Xie Lin's voice became extremely soft, as if he was talking to himself, "I'm so disappointed! I thought that Aurors are figures who maintain the stability of the wizarding world, are a solid shield for the common people, and are heroes! Are your current actions worthy of your conscience and the expectations of the common people?"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for their answer, Xie Lin took out a small note and tapped it with his magic wand. The small note immediately turned into a small paper sparrow, flapping its wings, and flew away.
Xie Lin waved his hand smartly, walked to the wall of the dead end, and carefully studied the abnormality of the bricks on the wall.
Just as Schelling reached out to touch a brick, a magic wand suddenly stretched out from his side, knocked quickly on several bricks, and the wall was separated to the left and right.
Scollinger's face was ashen, obviously he was very angry, but at the same time, his eyes once again ignited the ambition like a lion.
"You look down on me, Schellinger," Scolinger said softly, "Now let you see how Uncle became an Auror!" After speaking, he led the somewhat reluctant Robards, and strode forward with his head held high.
Standing behind them, Xie Lin raised the corners of his lips slightly, showing a fox-like smile.
Disguise magic is not body transfiguration, but to dress up and cover oneself with magic to make oneself less conspicuous. It is one of the compulsory items for Aurors. Those who are proficient in body transfiguration or born with disguise Magus can easily pass
