Chapter 536 Black Cousin
Night has fallen, and the heat of the day's sun is slowly fading as time goes by. Perhaps, the cold wind at night took away the remaining temperature in the air; or perhaps, this winter was not so easy to pass.
On the road between Stewkey and Wells, night blinded most creatures, but not the spiders. The five senses of these guys are basically insensitive. What they rely on to observe the world is to perceive all vibrations and experience changes in the surrounding temperature.
Therefore, they were able to accurately confirm the opponent's position even when Bellatrix was invisible, and after discovering that the opponent had slipped, they launched a timely pounce.
These alienated giant spiders raised by Maca have a powerful vision effect that can petrify others. But if Bellatrix is always invisible, this surprisingly useful ability will not be useful.
...apparated from here?
In the middle of the road, Maca carefully sensed the residual magic fluctuations in the air. Not long after, he was able to analyze enough clear information about the spell from it.
And at his feet, several thumb-sized acromantulas were crawling back and forth, waiting for Maca to give them the next order.
Don't wait for me, go for a walk by yourself! Maca thought for a while, and found that they were still staying by her side, so she waved her hand casually, Pay attention, if you find someone who uses magic, follow them, if there is no one What did you find out, go find something to eat by yourself—it’s still the same, except for people, eat whatever you want.”
Before the words were finished, those spiders immediately scattered happily and left.
Maca thought for a while, then took out a magic book and threw it forward, stepping on the book and flying along the road. There are still a lot of clouds tonight, and among the shadows, it is difficult for anyone to notice him even if he does not hide his figure.
From here, the town of Dowells is actually not far away. He only flew for a short while before he saw sparse houses and buildings appearing in front of him. As the roofs of the road became more and more dense, he knew that the town of Wells had already arrived.
According to the information obtained from the fluctuation of residual magic power just now, Maca found that the approximate point of appearance was near the convenience store on the east side of the town. There is a parking lot here, and there are quite a few Muggles shopping in the store. It seems that this area is brightly lit.
Maca avoided the sight of Muggles and fell back to the ground. He walked a few random steps on the street, and soon found the exact location where Bellatrix appeared. In fact, finding a magical location in the non-active Muggle world had never been easier for him.
Of course, Bellatrix was obviously not stupid enough to stay where she was. Maca looked around and did not find any other fluctuations in magic power. It seemed that the other party did not choose to Apparate away on the spot.
If she gives you a ride, it won't be easy to find. He looked at the parking lot of the convenience store across the street and thought about it.
If a pure-blood zealot were to ride in a Muggle vehicle, it would be a very strange thing. They have always been completely intolerable for the existence of Muggles, and they are even more dismissive of things made by Muggles. But Maca wasn't sure whether Bellatrix would temporarily put aside the principles deep in her heart when she was eager to escape.
Well?
Just as Maca was looking around and thinking about countermeasures in his heart, he suddenly saw a figure from the back in the distance.
No, to be more precise, what made him notice that figure was actually the long black hair on the other side's head that looked like a moldy mop. In the crowd, that frighteningly messy hairstyle is so eye-catching, it can be said that it is difficult for him not to notice.
But what surprised Maca was that the other party was actually walking side by side with a Muggle woman. The two looked like a pair of sisters who didn't matter at all.
It would not have surprised him if it happened to anyone else, but it seemed very strange when it happened to the mad woman Bellatrix.
Would a thorough Death Eater walk happily with a Muggle? If you ask Maca, he definitely doesn't believe it, even if he sees Bellatrix slaughtering Muggles crazily, he won't be as hesitant as he is now.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to follow up secretly for a while, so as to see what Bellatrix was going to do.
Not long after, he put on the illusion spell and walked not far behind the weird pair. While avoiding pedestrians around him from time to time, he looked curiously at the two people who didn't match at all.
The Muggle woman looked quite young, and her attire was closer to the style of young people in recent years, but the changes brought about by her marriage were obvious—she was holding a baby in her arms, and she was still walking. Looking down, the love for the child is obvious.
But beside her, Bellatrix just walked forward step by step. Apart from walking side by side, there was really no sign of any recognition between the two of them.
Even if it was perfunctory, she wouldn't be as stiff as Bellatrix, which shows how reluctant she is in her heart.
It seemed that taking the Muggle woman as a hostage in an emergency was her choice rather than taking the opportunity to cover up. But will it work?
Yes, because of the existence of the International Statute of Secrecy, under normal circumstances, Auror affairs will always try to avoid affecting the lives of Muggles as much as possible. But now it was such a big event to hunt down escaped Death Eaters, one or two Muggles would probably not make the experienced Aurors back down.
If this crazy woman doesn't hurry up and escape, what is she doing here with Muggles? You know, although more than half of the group of Aurors went after her accomplices, the rest of them will find this place sooner or later—especially today's leader is Kingsley, an elite with a good brain. Auror.
Maca and Kingsley had worked together several times before, and he knew very well that that guy's ability was not worthy of his status. And Bellatrix was chased all the way by Kingsley this time, so she was much clearer than Maca.
Sure enough, after Maca continued to follow for a short while, he sensed several waves of magic power suddenly appearing behind him. He knew that probably some Aurors had detected the clues on the road before, and Apparation came over.
Aurors always have a set of rules, especially in the Muggle world, they will choose to clear the field early. If a Muggle sees something that shouldn't be seen, the aftermath of the aftermath will bring days and nights of heavy work to the colleagues of the Division of Magical Accidents and Disasters, and their quarterly and annual bonuses will also be affected. Soup directly.
After a while, Bellatrix noticed with alarm that there were fewer and fewer Muggles around, and soon there was no one to be seen.
She, who had been waiting for this moment to come, decisively reached out to the side to fish, only to find that she was empty!
Want to use a Muggle child to threaten others? A black shadow suddenly ran past Bellatrix, and when he stopped, there was already a child in his arms, You are still as scary as ever ? My dear cousin...
It was Sirius. At that moment just now, he quickly passed behind Bellatrix in the form of Animagus, and then very smoothly took away the pair after changing into a human form. Young Muggle mother and daughter. That whole set of movements was so smooth and flowing, even Maca, who was planning to make a move, couldn't help nodding secretly.
As far as Animagus transformation is concerned, Sirius may be better than him.
It's you! Bellatrix failed, she stared at Sirius angrily, and cursed viciously, The traitor of the family, the disgrace of the pure blood... how dare you appear in front of me!
Why don't you dare? Sirius casually handed the child back to the bewildered woman, and said relaxedly, Have you ever seen me afraid?
Damn it! Bellatrix looked around, Don't forget, you are still on the arrest warrant of the Ministry of Magic! Don't tell me you even want to go back to Az in order to pester me Is Caban going to live?
What's wrong with that? Sirius squinted his eyes, stared at Bellatrix and snorted coldly, If I am thrown into Azkaban again, it can only show that I have a destiny there. Of course, If you have my cousin as your companion, I think I will feel more at ease living there...
He had just finished speaking when the two spells collided instantly, bursting out a burst of brilliant light particles. It turned out that the cousins of the Black family cast the spell at the same time, and they were extremely decisive in their actions.
They are indeed a pair of sisters and brothers in reality. They may be completely different in how they behave, but they are surprisingly similar in some aspects.
Maca, who was hidden from the side, watched them fight each other, and he turned his head after only a few glances. He sensed that the Aurors blocking the street were rapidly gathering here and would arrive here soon.
It is conceivable that it is mostly because of Kingsley that there is such a gap here. But Kingsley is still an Auror of the Ministry of Magic in name after all, so delaying time cannot be too obvious. It is already his limit to slow down the pace of pursuit.
Maca didn't think too much, taking advantage of the chaos of Sirius and Bellatrix's confrontation, directly knocked Bellatrix unconscious with a sneak attack.
Let's go! The Aurors are coming!
He put the Disillusionment Charm on both Sirius and Bellatrix who was in a coma, and then quickly left this place of right and wrong with the suitcase dropped by the latter.
