Chapter 829 Goose Step

In front of the Ravenclaw temple in Diagon Alley, armed Aurors replaced the usual patrolling Aurors to maintain order here.

The Ministry of Magic has already issued a message that a press conference will be held here today. The Ministry of Magic, the Harris family, and the Ravenclaw Temple will launch a cooperation project in name led by the Ravenclaw Temple in response to the recent attack time. .

This press conference will be broadcast live simultaneously on Harris TV, so the staff of Harris TV came to the temple early, busy setting up those large camera equipment, and many news media reporters waited outside the red line set by Auror Some of them are even sorting out their own interview scripts, preparing for questions that can be asked during free interviews.

In view of the devil's attack on Hogsmeade that has been discussed in major publications and media, everyone understands that this press conference must be the Ministry of Magic's response to this incident. Therefore, in addition to the media controlled by the Ministry of Magic itself, the media controlled by the British pure-blood families and even some foreign magical media also came to the scene.

In addition, many wizards who were oppressed by Harris also came to the scene as if they were organized, ready to find fault. At this time, they expressed their opinions in a strange way, trying to guide public opinion in a direction that is not conducive to the Ministry of Magic.

These people and the media controlled by the pure-blood family did not criticize the Harris family at all, but just seemed to be discussing the matter as it was, and they were holding on to the Ministry of Magic on security issues. After all, this matter has nothing to do with any family on the surface, but everyone knows Well, the Ministry of Magic is now under the control of the Harris family, and attacking the Ministry of Magic is tantamount to attacking the Harris family in disguise.

A wizard who was reading a newspaper criticizing the news seemed to be convinced. He looked up at the armed Aurors, opened his mouth with a pair of big buck teeth and sighed to the people around him: "I didn't expect that the strength of the Ministry of Magic is not as good as that shown They came out so tough. I saw those Aurors wearing uniforms before, and thought they were more elite than before. I didn't expect that they could only attack ordinary wizards, and they were helpless against slightly stronger enemies. This time they died. Even Hogwarts students almost died because of so many Aurors."

A capable-looking witch with short blond hair next to him took the opportunity to come over: "After the devils had left, the Ministry of Magic's reinforcement Aurors arrived at the scene. The emergency response ability of the Ministry of Magic is so poor. Did they not have a preview at all?"

This made some wizards around couldn't help nodding secretly.

"The Aurors in your country are not bad, and their abilities are not bad. I came from the Netherlands. Compared with the frequent terrorist attacks and missing persons in Europe, the British wizarding world that killed a few Aurors in the incident It can even be regarded as the safest place in the world." A foreign photographer with a camera between his hands and a spotlight in his hand couldn't help turning his head to participate in the discussion, "Our Muggle government is in a terrible state..."

"But they did take a step back on this matter. The police medal didn't help much...I think the Auror Commander Albert Harris should be held accountable for his negligence. They rushed here, and have been on the outskirts of Hogsmeade village, probably because of the commander's timidity and unresponsiveness..." The bucktooth wizard looked a little cynical, "Anyway, this is poor command. And the Auror should have Rufus Scrimgeour, chief of Luo's office, came to manage. This time Albert Harris has proved that he is an incompetent commander. In this case, it is better to return the authority to Rufus Scrimgeour. But he is a vigorous and resolute person, and he is not a stupefied young man with many years of experience in his work. He has devoted most of his energy to dealing with black wizards after joining the work, so he will never underestimate the power of the mysterious man."

Some onlookers seemed to be persuaded by the bucktooth wizard: "That's... if we need the Ministry of Magic's rescue in the future, will they not arrive in time?"

The blonde short-haired witch pursed her mouth and snorted: "And... so what if it's in time,

They have no way to protect the safety of the people, even the elite Aurors are helpless when facing the devil, this time it all depends on the Hogwarts professors and Ravenclaw female students themselves are smart... and I heard that in the Ministry of Magic The people who work, although they can be regarded as civil servants, many of them can’t even recite a decent Iron Armor Curse... But this undoubtedly reflects that these employees have flaws in their professionalism, and the Ministry of Magic is not as powerful as it seems..."

The bucktooth wizard waved his arms vigorously: "Misters and ladies, I hope that when they speak later, they will not think of concealing and perfunctory, otherwise, we must do our best to express our demands!"

When the noise gradually grew under the steps of the temple, the clergy and loyal believers who maintained daily affairs and safety in the temple filed out. At this time, they were already wearing uniforms on their bodies. Their ancient dragon skin robes full of ancient Netheril style, with the opening of the temple, exudes an aura that seems to be able to influence people's hearts, making the crowd unconsciously quiet down.

The sound of sonorous and powerful footsteps in the distance made this calm scene even more shocking.

The media who were waiting for the launch of the press conference heard the prestige, and the reporters immediately became excited. They realized that what was about to happen was likely to be a more valuable news point, and aimed at the ordinary wizards outside the venue. The direction the sound is coming from.

Soon, a group of armed Aurors in H94 uniforms came from the corner of the street, striding forward in neat goose steps with their heads held high. Their habitual free and undisciplined style is different. Their steps are uniform, full of oppression, and their heads are slightly raised.

Foreign reporters looked at such an armed team that was almost military, and couldn't help but compare it with the traditional Aurors in their own country who were more spies. As time went by, everyone's expressions gradually changed. There are more changes. The Auror team of the British Ministry of Magic has been greatly expanded since the reform, but the number of people here today is too large for the small population of the British wizarding community.

"Does the Ministry of Magic have so many armed Aurors now?" The shock caused by the whole row of Aurors striding past in front of them was unusual, but some people who knew the situation of Aurors The wizard found that this was a much larger number than the armed Aurors should have been.

"Look at the part at the back, look at the marks on them, they are not all Aurors!" The careful wizard noticed the difference, "Is the armed force of the Umbrella Company behind?"

Then came the giants who could give people a more visual impact. Although there were only a few dozen of them, they still walked neatly. Discipline made the wizards present widen their eyes. These bald giants with gems inlaid on their foreheads have gnarled muscles and huge fists, showing their strength. In history, many wizards and even mysterious people can do it. To allow the giants to use them, but to train the giants with low intelligence to form a square formation with such a uniform pace, this is almost impossible in their cognition - before the Ministry of Magic war from TV The visual impact brought by the glimpse of these big men is completely different from the visual impact of seeing these big men with their own eyes.

"Damn it! What are they doing with all these armed forces?" Marcus Flint stared into his bloodshot gray eyes and scratched his messy black hair, thinking that even now , his family business is still under continuous investigation by relevant departments assigned by Owen Harris, and he himself has been reduced from being the head of the family who can be regarded as an equal with other families in theory to Marcus who is forced to do some things in person. · Flint was in despair.

Those wizards with ulterior motives had unconsciously shut their mouths in this situation after being surprised, and the people from the pure-blood family behind them were in shock, thinking about the power of their own family, they were shocked to find that although they knew that there was no one behind the umbrella Foreign wizards have recruited a certain amount of armed forces, but now the number of people shown is completely different from what they originally expected. It seems that the purpose of these armed forces held by Harris is not just to satisfy their needs in the Ministry of Magic and business. Above status, they have deeper goals.

Annette Poppin is not as familiar with the specific situation as other big-name purebloods, but she also realizes that Harris seems to be far from satisfied. The cost of maintaining such an armed force is not a small number. Thinking of this, she is a little apprehensive : "They don't just want to suppress...not just want to share more cakes..."
