Chapter 257 Blending In

The situation will not stop developing because of Sean's doubts. The actions of the Wizards United Guards have gained a lot of public support, and the originally corrupt and bloated administrative systems of the Ministry of Magic in various countries have been brought to the forefront again.

Well-known newspapers in the wizarding world such as "World Wizarding News", "Daily Prophet", "Paris Evening News", etc. have successively begun to report various news - mostly satires and even criticisms of the Ministry of Magic by some well-known wizards in the country. .

Someone even spent a lot of galleons to put a sentence in the advertisement of the Daily Prophet - when a society is going downhill, someone has to sit on a broomstick and cast an acceleration spell.

The front page next to it happened to be a black and white dynamic photo of Fudge announcing the new regulations.

The British Minister of Magic has just signed a new regulation that allows "fugitives" to surrender, and the fines will be used as public funds for the Office of the Wizards United Guardians - of course, wizards who surrender and pay the fine will receive a certain reduction in sentence.

Many wizards expressed dissatisfaction with this regulation. They believed that Fudge was a mediocre and incompetent two-faced person who wanted to please both parties but did not take into account the rights of ordinary people.

After part of the Daily Prophet was printed, the advertisement next to Fudge's photo in the subsequent newspaper was withdrawn. News also spread from the Ministry of Magic that Fudge had smashed everything in the office - but he was worried that this would damage his life. His reputation was damaged and finally restored through magic.

Of course, this is not within the scope of Sean's concern. For him, there are other things that are more noteworthy.

One month after Old Aiken's uncle was arrested, the United Wizards' Guards issued a statement. In order to reflect justice and fairness, the wizards arrested during this period will be sent to the headquarters of the Guards for detention, and then held before the International Federation of Wizards and various countries. A public trial was held in the presence of representatives from the Ministry of Magic. At that time, all offenders will receive due and appropriate justice based on their crimes.

At this time, the flames finally reached Britain.

Bella sent news that the British Guards Office was collecting information, and the target was the Lestrange family.

As one of the top pure-blood families in the UK, the Lestrange family has quite a large network of contacts. More than three people from the Ministry have specifically reminded them that the guards will storm into their mansion in two days at most.

"Master... this newly established organization has completely disrupted our plan." The newly planted Dark Mark brought a blurry image of Bella, half-kneeling on the ground, pressing her own Dark Mark with one hand. .

Sean just said "hmm" and motioned for her to continue.

"In order to keep the minister's position, Fudge is using all means. Before that, he approached the Lestrange family to get support in the general election, but because we were already preparing to promote old Barty, he finally refused. he."

Bella's voice became sinister: "Because of the high demand for the suddenly established escort team, Fudge completely gave up on the Lestrange family and wanted to win the support of that party."

Sean lay imageless on the bed, and Bella could only hear his voice anyway.

After thinking for a while, he made a low and majestic voice: "Where's the news from Buddy?"

"The concept of that guard is similar to that of old Barty, and he is also pushing the situation forward - Barty asked me to ask you, are you going to use the Imperius Curse to control his father now?"

"Not now," Sean rejected the other party's idea. "Old Batty has not yet taken office. During the election period, he will receive a lot of attention and will be easily discovered."

"Yes, I will convey your will to Barty. Then, Master, what will the Lestrange family do?"

Sean was silent for a while, and then asked: "Who is the current person in charge of the office?"

"James Potter, the bastard who tarnished the honor of purebloods, and my cousin Sirius Black, who was expelled from the Black family tree. Potter is now the head of the office, and he has removed my idle cousin. We also got them in, they are definitely Dumbledore's people and will not let the Lestrange family go easily."

After a brief silence, Sean's voice suddenly became bewitching, and he almost whispered softly: "Bella, are you my most loyal servant?"

"Of course! Of course! My Lord, please forgive me, even you cannot doubt my loyalty to you."

Even if it was a somewhat fuzzy and distorted voice, Sean could still hear the enthusiasm in the other party's words.

"No, no disrespect, you really please me, Bella." Sean chuckled.

Bella moved a few steps forward while half-kneeling, as if she wanted to kiss the hem of the robe that didn't exist, and she was trembling with excitement.

"Master, master..."

"Very well, Bella—so, what will you do for me?"

"Anything! Anything, my master! As long as it is your will, I am willing to die!"

"Touching loyalty -" Sean said with a smile, "Bella, I have a task for you."

"Please tell me."

"I remember you said that you didn't do anything too extreme. The escort team wants evidence, so you will probably just be fined and then released, right?"

Bella nodded: "Yes, Master, Rodolphus and the others will be the targets of arrest."

Sean chuckled: "Bella, I want you to get involved, and then be arrested along with Rodolphus and the others."

Bella obviously didn't expect Sean to say that. She was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously: "Master, I don't understand..."

Sean was still smiling, but the warmth in his laughter had gone: "Are you already regretting it, my friend?"

"No, no, you misunderstood Master. I'm just too stupid to understand your true intentions. I'm worried that it will ruin your plan - please give me your order, I am willing to do anything!" Bella crawled to the ground. , the elegant linen top hat slipped down.

"Don't be nervous, Bella, it's just a little joke," Sean's voice became gentle again, "Get up, do you know what I mean?"

Bella carefully raised her head and said respectfully: "Master, no one can guess your thoughts."

Sean didn't pay attention to the other party's flattery, and continued with a smile: "Bella, I want you to sneak into the ranks of the arrested prisoners. At that time, they will escort you to the headquarters of the escort team, and then..."

Bella finally understood what Sean meant, and she said excitedly: "I will be the master's eyes!"

"Yes, Bella, the Dark Mark has been improved by me and can be triggered without a wand - your crime is not serious and you will not face the most severe imprisonment. You have your own channels to inform the arrested wizards Match the information with the physical appearance, remember everyone, and when the time comes, tell me everything you saw and heard."

"I understand, Master, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the task you assigned." Bella agreed immediately, without any worry or fear in her voice, there was only enthusiasm in her voice.

"Very good -" Sean drawled his tone slowly, "When the time comes, I will make sure you come back safe and sound. At the same time, ha, I allow you not to kneel down to talk to me anymore."

"Yes, yes! Master!" Bella was trembling with excitement.

After breaking off the contact between the two, Sean lay back on the pillow.

He has been thinking about the recent situation, such a large-scale suppression, even if they are indeed doing a just thing, but still the same sentence - it is impossible for pure-blood wizards to be slaughtered like this.

The dead camel was bigger than the horse, not to mention that pure-blood wizards had always controlled most of the resources in the wizarding world, so the actions of the escort team were too smooth. Even with the cooperation of the Ministry of Magic of various countries, the situation would not be like this.

Sean has a guess, that is, some of the arrested pure-blood wizards may have reached some kind of deal with the Guardians...

Yes, both sides were just acting to build prestige for the newly formed Wizards United Guard.

As for the remaining pure-blood families whose members have been arrested, they do not know the inside story, and speculators who are good at taking advantage of the situation will not be willing to make the first move.

Moreover, Sean also noticed that except for the United Kingdom, most of the pure-blood wizards arrested in other countries were middle-level members of the family. They could not be said to be very important, nor could they be said to be unimportant.

Even if they lose these members, those families will not be much traumatized.

If he thought about it further, Sean could almost see an invisible giant net opening, but he didn't know what the giant thing in the net would be.

In order to verify his guess, Sean came up with a plan to let Bella sneak in.

The opponent must be heavily guarded now. Since you can't sneak in as a teammate, wouldn't it be better to sneak in as a prisoner?

If Sean's guess is correct, then the state of other prisoners that Bella will see at that time can confirm a lot of things...

As for whether to get Bella back, Sean was worried for a while.

It's actually not difficult to get her out. Bella is not the crazy woman in her last life. Voldemort and the Death Eaters have been dormant and haven't given her much chance to go crazy. At the same time, her real crime is not serious, and she still knows her. Head of UK office.

But this woman is indeed a brainless fan of Voldemort. It seems to be a good thing if the three core members of the Lestrange family are sent to prison...

After hesitating for a long time, Sean decided to keep Bella back. It didn't matter whether she was a fanatical believer of Voldemort or not, as long as she was his most loyal subordinate now.

As for the Lestrange brothers, let them stay in prison - these two are also considered core Death Eaters, but their quality is too poor. They told Sean before that they had tortured several people to death. muggles.

Go to jail and spend the rest of your life...

…

Two days later, the Lestrange family manor.

A group of serious-looking wizards rushed in, led by James Potter and an indifferent-looking Sirius Black.

As the current head of the family, Rodolphus Lestrange stood in front of the living room door. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly and he stared at the visitor expressionlessly.

"Do you know what you are doing? Do you know where this is?!"

"Rodolphus Lestrange?" James walked forward slowly, "Your brother, Rabastan Lestrange, your wife, Bellatrix Lestrange ——There is evidence that you were involved in an attack and massacre against Muggles. Would you like to come with us to the Ministry?"

Rodolphus's voice was cold and ruthless, and he narrowed his eyes slightly: "The three names you just read all have the same form - do you understand the meaning of Lestrange?"

Sirius took a step forward. He looked carefree, and the original indifference on his face turned into a joke: "Well, should I call you brother-in-law? Forget it, who cares - brother-in-law, do you want to say 'Oh, You dirty idiots, how dare you break into the famous Lestrange house!', I can imagine your tone, probably similar to that of my parents."

Behind Rodolphus, Bella walked out slowly, with contempt on her cold face: "Cousin, you really make me feel ashamed."

Sirius took a step forward and sneered: "It's a coincidence, isn't it? I have shamed the famous Black family~ Oh, now, you will also shame the Lestrange family - wait, after this Maybe there will be no Lestrange family?”

Rodolphus took a step forward: "Just like your cousin said, you don't understand what glory is, let alone what noble blood is."

"Who cares about this crap-" Sirius shrugged, and he stretched out his left hand and pointed into the distance.

The three members of the Lestrange family in front of the door all tensed up, and then relaxed slightly after realizing that the other party did not take out their wands. The wands that had slipped from their sleeves were also slowly retracted.

Sirius pointed in a direction: "That should be my home? Tsk, my poor brother is still immersed in your so-called 'glory'. I can even imagine the expression on his face after you are arrested later."

"Arrest? Are you qualified?"

Sirius turned around, seemingly exposing his back to the other party without any defense. "My dear brother-in-law, you should really read more newspapers."

He took out a newspaper from somewhere and threw it away.

Rodolphus didn't answer. He glanced at the newspaper and still stared at the people opposite.

"Get out of my manor, I only give you one warning."

Sirius and James looked at each other, and both shrugged at the same time: "We never warn-"

"Stupefy!"

The guards took action almost at the same time, and several magic spells roared towards the three people at the door.

But the Lestranges, who had been on guard, immediately fought back, and a fierce battle broke out in an instant.

On the Guards side, although they have the numerical advantage, except for James and Sirius, the others are not that strong. In the face of the ruthless enemy, they are the one who retreats.

Rodolphus yelled while issuing a curse: "With your strength, do you dare to come to the Lestrange family to run wild?!"

They pressed forward, but no one noticed that the newspaper falling on the ground behind them began to shake.

Sirius deliberately exposed a flaw, he staggered, and three curses struck him instantly.
