Chapter 164 Ending

The duel is over,

The ring of fire is lifted, although the winner of the duel is Raven,

But the Aurors present did not relax their vigilance;

Black magic is such an unpredictable thing.

Immediately there were four Aurors who were responsible for full-time investigation, holding looking glasses, and slowly approached Raven from different directions and distances.

This is necessary detection work,

The looking glass is a detection instrument, specially designed for malicious and dark wizards.

Inadvertently, the looking glasses in their hands sounded the alarm,

The looking glass is a kind of gyroscope made of glass. When evil is detected, it will light up, spin and alarm.

"RPM 54, 5 o'clock direction"

"RPM 49, 2 o'clock direction"

"RPM 32, 11 o'clock direction"

"RPM 14, 8 o'clock direction"

The Aurors approached step by step, constantly correcting their readings.

It was finally determined that the traces of black magic only came from Raven's wand, and no traces of black magic were detected elsewhere.

This was consistent with their observations, and the final result they reported to Rufus Scrimgeour was that there were no traces of dark magic remaining at the scene.

It's just that Raven, who just used the Death Curse and unknown black magic (red heart-cutting bone), may need psychological intervention.

The Ministry of Magic can support Legilimens.

"No, no, I think I'm fine." Raven rejected Rufus's kind proposal.

He was afraid that his mind would contaminate the Legilimency master, which would be a big sin.

"Okay..." Rufus sighed,

Then he said again,

"I will tell Arthur and ask him to take leave and spend time with you later. I suggest that you spend more time with your family and friends recently to wash away the possible contamination caused by black magic."

Seeing Raven nodding, Rufus felt relieved. Such a good young king must not go astray.

After saying hello to everyone watching the game, Raven excused himself as tired and went back to rest.

After a shocking performance, what the protagonist needs is not to mingle with the audience;

But to leave enough time for the audience to understand and digest,

In this way, they can reflect back and realize how shocking the scene they just witnessed will be.

Originally, today's Hogwarts dinner was to send off three waves of society members.

But after this duel,

Only the school management team, or the group of people sent by Jianya, can leave.

The Aurors had to work overtime because Voldemort's Horcruxes showed up at Hogwarts.

So they have to investigate at Hogwarts in the next few days,

Rufus felt like he had too much to do;

"Old Duncan, you lead the team to search Lockhart's house. Jennifer, you will lead the team to check whether there are any traces of dark magic in the Great Hall of Hogwarts."

"Ah, by the way, Tonks, you go back to the Ministry and apply for a batch of magic tents from the Logistics Director. From today on, we will be stationed next to the Black Lake. Professor Dumbledore, please understand what your responsibilities are."

Rufus said to Dumbledore, and Dumbledore had no objection. After all, it was the Dark Lord's Horcrux, and it must be taken seriously.

It's a pity that the Aurors who originally got off work after dinner, these days, they can only set up tents and camp on the shore of the Black Lake.

However, this can also make up for the regret left by these top students who were not rebellious enough when they were young.

It is said that several couples have become lovers.

As for the Daily Prophet, since only three people came, it was easy to arrange accommodation. There are also vacant faculty and staff dormitories.

It’s just that the editor-in-chief couldn’t sleep well at night.

Because the dormitory of Gilderoy Lockhart is next door, the room of the Dark Arts...former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has been sealed.

There is an Auror reconnaissance team inside,

In order to grasp first-hand information, the editor-in-chief, along with reporters and photographers, followed the Auror team all the time.

And his efforts were not in vain, and he got a surprise,

In Gilderoy Lockhart's notes, the Aurors found evidence of this 'adventurer''s crime.

Gilderoy Lockhart's adventures were all stolen!

He used the Oblivion Curse to attack the real protagonists of the story, and shamelessly took the credit for himself!

The Aurors found his photo album, his letters, and his interview records!

What surprised the editor was that the members of the Auror team were not surprised by this, as if they had expected it.

"Actually, our Auror Command has been paying attention to Gilderoy Lockhart for a long time. The victims whose memories he stole were originally well-known wizards. They were also experienced and knowledgeable people.

Therefore, they noticed something unusual about themselves and reported it to the Ministry of Magic.

After receiving these reports, the Ministry of Magic took them seriously and established a special case team.

But it's a pity that this guy was very careful in his work and didn't leave any key evidence.

In fact, we were the ones who recommended him to Dumbledore as Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, which, you know, is...well, cut that off every year. "

Duncan, the elder of the Auror Squadron, was talking eloquently, but he accidentally let it slip under the attack of the female reporter, so he quickly reminded them not to record this conversation as well.

The interview with the Daily Prophet was also requested of him by Rufus Scrimgeour,

Now that Lockhart's exposure has become a foregone conclusion, their Aurors must also express their opinions.

This is to show the image of Aurors to the public in the wizarding world, and to convey the signal that "we have done something, and this person has been targeted by us."

After the interview was completed, the three Daily Prophet employees did not go back to rest.

Instead, get together and let the house elves at Hogwarts deliver coffee,

With two big news in hand, they had to sort out the text as soon as possible.

Regarding Voldemort's Horcruxes, Rufus Scrimgeour had communicated with them. This news was not suitable for publicity.

Because even if ordinary wizards know the truth, they don't have the courage and determination to fight against Voldemort. Instead, they will have an impact on the existing order and cause internal friction in their own side.

Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a certain degree of information blockade on Voldemort's true identity.

This is also Raven's wish. Raven also doesn't want to become a popular idol.

Information blocking is a screening process.

As long as the wizards who have the ability to know the truth of the matter are willing to put the treasure on themselves,

As for the royal approach chosen by other senior time travellers, such as uniting with the bottom, Raven said it was too labor-intensive.

When there are more people, there are more demands. Before the real enemy appears, this route will not work.

Anyway, Raven doesn't expect or need the vast number of ordinary wizards to contribute to him, so he might as well just win over the elite wizard group.

The Daily Prophet trio was working on the manuscript overnight.

Rufus shut himself in the tent and settled down to think.

Sirius and Lucius convened the principals of each family overnight to share what they had seen today.

After saying hello to friends and family and reporting that he was safe, Raven quietly came to Dumbledore's lounge.

Raven grabbed a handful of candies from Dumbledore's fruit plate.

Pick one out at random,

Peel off the sugar skin and straighten the sugar paper,

He was fully focused, but his mouth was not idle,

"How was it? How was today's performance?"

Raven asked,

Dumbledore sighed,

"The effect is pretty good. They all think you will be a rising star in the magic world. Even Rufus calls you the Young King."

He didn't know if assisting Raven was a bad thing;

But since this is not the first time that the other party has saved the wizarding world, and has restrained his desire to monopolize magic to dominate the world, then judging from his past deeds, Raven is trustworthy.

Raven shuddered;

"What the hell are you trying to do with me? You're still the Young King of Firepower..."

Seeing Raven's reaction, Dumbledore felt relieved.

Such a self-centered guy should not have such a thing as "ambition", which is troublesome and laborious.
