Chapter 320 Abnormal Situation

Faced with Lupin's question, Sean began to think deeply.

The attack on Muggles and the prisoner's escape were obviously planned by the same group of people behind the scenes, but there was one point that Sean had not thought clearly about.

That's why the attack seemed a little rushed.

In comparison, the large-scale escapes from prisons for serious criminals in various places are more like the result of careful planning.

The word 'Prison Break' doesn't seem to have much real meaning, but not only Sean, every wizard understands the weight of this word.

As far as Azkaban is concerned, this wizard prison located on an isolated island in the North Sea is a nightmare in the hearts of many people. Even the well-known great wizards will frown when talking about Azkaban.

The biggest reputation of this wizard prison is that no one has escaped since its establishment.

As far as Sean knows, Azkaban is located in the sea, and the entire island has been cast with magic similar to the space extension spell. The area there is much larger than the island itself. In addition to various magic that hinders observation, the towering prison walls also have trigger-type magic traps.

Every month, the Aurors who escort dark wizards to Azkaban will strengthen the magic there. At the same time, they also need to hold a special pass from the Ministry of Magic to safely enter and leave the prison through a small boat.

In addition to the terrifying dementors, Azkaban also has a prison guard team composed of strikers (Auror reserves). They are mainly responsible for guarding prisoners with less serious crimes. They also work part-time as visitors and prisoners. Confirmation of identity of full releaser.

Veritaserum, Apparition Charm, Repeating Recipe, these things need to be confirmed one by one even if an Auror comes.

Under such circumstances, it is unimaginable that a large-scale jailbreak could occur in Azkaban.

In Sean's memory, the escape from Azkaban in the original book only happened twice. The first time was Sirius, who relied on Animagus to stay sane, and finally turned into a black dog and swam to the coast. side.

The second time was the escape of the Death Eaters. This was actually a special situation because the dementors, the main guards of Azkaban, fell to Voldemort.

However, in this case, Sean has already come into contact with dementors from Azkaban to Hogwarts, and he can be sure that this kind of emotionless demon has not yet fallen to another unknown dark force.

Such a large-scale jailbreak is enough to imagine how much energy the forces behind planning this incident spent. Although there was no evidence, Sean was almost certain that there must be a mole in the team of strikers responsible for guarding, the team of Aurors responsible for escorting, and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

If this is the case in Azkaban, then other countries must be in similar situations.

It can be easily inferred that the force behind the scenes has inserted enough moles into the Ministry of Magic of various countries. The sheer size of this force is almost frightening.

And what about the corresponding attacks on Muggles?

Although it is very rude to the casualties and their families to think that the number of casualties is insufficient, it must be said that given the scale of this force, the consequences of the disaster do not seem to be as unbearable as imagined.

You know, when Sean was on the phone with his family just now, Mr. Wallop said that most people didn’t know about it, and the government concealed the truth very quickly. First, it had the help of wizards, and second, the scope of the incident was really not that big. .

In terms of scale and shock, it is completely inferior to the two fires Grindelwald set in Paris.

This is why Sean thinks the attack on Muggles was rushed.

The most serious consequence of this matter is that because it has blossomed in many countries and regions, the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to deal with it reluctantly, so as to ensure that the "Secret Act" is still effective.

However, if the people behind the scenes want to overturn the "Secrecy Act", judging from the energy they have shown, they can obviously plan a larger-scale and worse attack. After all, Newt is not called for every fire in Paris. The venom of the curling-winged demon rained down from the thunderbird.

So, what is the deeper purpose?

Sean pursed his lips and finally looked at Lupine: "Sir, can you tell me your opinion?"

After hearing his words, Lupine touched his chin and said slowly after a moment: "I think such a large-scale event should be viewed from the perspective of an ordinary wizard."

"How to say?"

"The prisoner escaped from prison, and then an attack on Muggles occurred. What was the first thought of ordinary wizards? It must have been the work of some radical terrorist wizard organization. And under the current situation, I believe that most people After being stunned, the first thing that comes to mind is Grindelwald," Lupine explained.

"Oh? See what you mean, do you think this was not done by Grindelwald?"

Lupine glanced at him helplessly: "Didn't you give me that list? A group of Nurmengard graduates... If it was Grindelwald who did it, you wouldn't come back in such a hurry to confirm yourself. My parents are safe."

Sean was speechless, forgetting this incident...

Lupine then analyzed: "This is the first opinion of ordinary wizards. If the Ministry of Magic does not investigate the true identity of the forces behind the scenes, then they will definitely blame Grindelwald. Originally, because of those two photos And the opposing public opinion will suddenly reverse."

"And for Grindelwald, this situation may not be so bad..." Lupine said softly, and glanced at Sean, "He has the ability and skill, and the Ministry of Magic letting him take the blame also means another One thing - many radical wizard supremacists will secretly fall to Grindelwald's camp, and there will even be many dark wizards coming to seek their allegiance..."

"This will invisibly strengthen Grindelwald's underground power, and those potential radical elements will involuntarily fall towards him..."

Sean nodded slowly, which was consistent with his thoughts.

"So, what is likely to happen next is that the Ministry of Magic will promulgate a series of tightening or even high-pressure management regulations, and the current situation will become even more tense. At the same time, the Muggle government is likely to put pressure on the Ministry of Magic, which will This is something Grindelwald would like to see," Lupine said.

Sean said: "So, do you think that, next, the official forces will confront Grindelwald's underground forces, or even, maybe because of the growth of Grindelwald's power, the two parties will stand on the table to confront each other?"

"It's just a guess, but it looks like the current situation is developing." Lu Ping spread his hands.

This is indeed the case... That is to say, the unknown behind-the-scenes force is to intensify the current turmoil in wizard society, and in some cases, they even helped Grindelwald...

So is their purpose to bring complete chaos to the wizarding world? Sean thought to himself.

It's chaos...what is this for...

Fishing in troubled waters, what is this fish?

But what he and Lupine could deduce, Grindelwald could definitely also guess, he was still a prophet.

So what measures will Grindelwald take to deal with it?

Sean was troubled that he couldn't take the initiative to contact the evil old man.

According to Grindelwald's character, even if he knew that this was the deliberate action of the force behind the scenes, he would probably accept it happily...

This is a conspiracy that allows key figures at the center of the storm to voluntarily enter the circle.

"Oh...it's troublesome..." Sean lay down weakly, his tone full of helplessness.

Lu Ping smiled on the side: "Boss, you think too much. In fact, you may not need to think about many things."

"Sir, please just call me Sean." Sean smiled wryly.

It's not that he wants to think too much, the point is that I am actually in the center of the storm. If I raise my butt, the fuse drilled out of my belly button may be ignited.

Otherwise, who doesn’t want to be a third-year student happily learning magic and chatting and joking with female classmates?

"Sean, what I mean is, maybe the people who haven't taken action have already anticipated all this and been prepared?" Lupine said with a smile.

"You mean...Professor Dumbledore?"

Lupine nodded: "Yes, Professor Dumbledore will not sit back and let disaster happen. I believe he can always turn the tide."

Yes, Dumbledore... Sean opened his eyes unconsciously and looked at the ceiling.

Grindelwald said that Dumbledore was probably planning something... but what kind of game was this?

"It's too tiring to deal with these highly intelligent old immortals..."

Lupine probably guessed what Sean was thinking. He smiled and shook his head: "Dumbledore has always been like this... When we were in school, our group often got into trouble, and Dumbledore always said, 'I know what the hell you are. After graduation, the troublemaker has matured as he thought."

"Is that considered mature, Sirius?" Sean joked.

Lupine shrugged: "Comparatively speaking, mature."

"Hey, by the way, sir, are you familiar with Professor Snape?" Sean suddenly became interested and asked about Snape.

After all, in this world, although Snape, it seems, probably, maybe, still parted ways with this group of people, they seemed to have had a long-term friendship when they were in school.

Speaking of Snape, Lupine sighed in an inexplicable tone: "Yes, we were very good friends back then. Although we quarreled every day and greeted each other from time to time, we were indeed friends at the time... It's just that we were all too immature at the time..."

Seeing Lupine's expression of lamentation and regret, Sean couldn't help but make up a lot of things in his mind.

Gee, it must have been exciting back then.

However, seeing that Lupine didn't want to say more, Sean didn't ask any more questions.

"Sir, our work is still going on and we will not fall to any side." Sean stood up. "Of course, it is still the same old rules. Your identity is still not exposed. The person in charge of our foundation remains unchanged. It will still be underground mode for a short time - by the way, if anyone investigates, first release the false identity I gave you last time."

In order not to be exposed, the foundation founded by Sean still operates in secret. On the surface, it is a small charity organization. The person in charge of the organization is an old, wealthy but childless wizard from the UK. He is a famous wizard in the Muggle world. A well-known philanthropist, he is now preparing to carry out his own charitable actions in the wizarding world - this kind gentleman has all the legal identification documents, whether in the Muggle world or the wizarding world.

For the current Sean, it is not difficult to create a shadow character.

Lupine also stood up and nodded: "Yes, I understand, and I will ask them to be more careful."

"I can rest assured that you will do the work. At the same time, the direction of our foundation's work needs to be tilted a little."

Lupine waved his wand, and the pen and paper flew into his hand: "Well, you tell me."

"Pay attention to the original families of Hogwarts students. Those rich pure-blood wizards don't have to worry. Our focus is on the personal safety of the families of students from Muggle families. If necessary, we can provide some help. If possible, I I hope you can help me make a form and inform me of the details in the next few days. I will send the student form to you when I return."

Lupine nodded: "No problem, what about mixed-blood families? There are also some pure-blood wizard families whose living conditions are considered average."

Sean thought for a moment and said: "Pay attention to it, mainly about personal safety. Just confirm their specific circumstances in this accident."

"No problem. My people just established a relationship with the supplier of butter beer two days ago, and the information channel has been greatly expanded."

"Very good, keep it up. Money is not an issue. Anyway, just find every reasonable excuse to throw money at them. We don't need their trust, we just need to ensure the accuracy of the information."

"no problem."

"Also, we can't control foreign countries for the time being, but we can investigate the news. The main direction is the family situation of students in various magic schools..."

While memorizing the key points, Lupine looked at Sean, who was frowning but speaking clearly and comprehensively.

There are so many tricks in the Muggle world... And the boss in front of me, who is not yet a minor, is really messing up his money...

If this continues, in less than two generations, probably only ten years, or even less, their wizarding rights foundation will have unimaginable connections and social prestige.

Lupine felt that if Sean wanted to, he might be able to be elected Minister of Magic before he was thirty. No, maybe there's hope for the International Federation of Wizards, too.

After explaining the next focus of the Foundation's work to Lupine, Sean also gave him a special floo powder. If there was any news, throw the floo powder into the fireplace and the paper with the news would fly to Newmongar. Virtue.

When Sean returned to Nurmengard, he set up symbols of the Golden Dawn around the fireplace. This was a small variation of his self-created marking magic. He just had to change the triggering conditions.

As long as there is something going on in the fireplace, the symbol of the Golden Dawn will be triggered, and Sean will naturally feel it and go to check it out. The only drawback is that without a wizard as a carrier, Sean has to go every week to "recharge" the mark.

After doing all this, Sean walked into the disappearing cabinet and returned to Hogwarts.
