Chapter 63 When did Voldemort suffer this grievance?(1/2)
After hearing Old Rooney's instructions, the two Ministry of Magic clerks nearby immediately followed him and walked together towards the Malfoy Manor not far away.
They all had excited, greedy sneers on their faces.
Old Rooney did not hide the anger on his face at all.
The so-called surprise inspection is actually an excuse.
They came here this time to rob Malfoy Manor.
It's really a very simple action.
After they broke into Malfoy Manor later, there was no need to search for any illegal dark magic items.
Whenever you see anything valuable, just label it as "suspected of illegal transformation" or "dark magic items" and take it away.
After this is done, these items will not even enter the Ministry of Magic's warehouse, but will directly become the private property of these investigators.

And Malfoy would never dare to come to the Ministry of Magic to ask for these properties.
Because Malfoy's own background is not clean.
Their status as former Death Eaters makes most people in the Ministry of Magic dislike them.
It is precisely for this reason that this set of 'robbery' procedures has long become an unspoken rule of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
In the past ten years or so, almost every once in a while, someone would go and suck the blood of powerful Death Eaters like Malfoy or Parkinson.
Only an idiot like Arthur Weiss would enforce the law impartially and not participate in such harvesting operations.
But generally speaking, people like Old Rooney will not come to Malfoy Manor to cause trouble.
This is not to say how powerful Malfoy is, but because there is no need for them to come to rob him. Lucius will come here every month to pay the protection fee.
With such an understanding of people, Old Rooney and others are naturally willing to save some effort and let him go.
But things are different now.
Draco Malfoy dared to bully Rooney in school.
As a father, Old Rooney naturally wants to come to ask for an explanation. By the way, he can also use this excuse to blackmail and make some extra money. Why not?
The three people soon arrived at the gate of Malfoy Manor.
Not long after ringing the magic doorbell, Lucius's stiff and gloomy face appeared in front of them.
"Rooney? What are you doing here?"
Lucius said nervously.
"Surprise inspection." Old Rooney said with a cold face, waving a search warrant in front of Lucius, "Open the door and let us in!"
"Why do you need to check? I obviously just gave it to you at the beginning of the month..."
"What are you talking about?" Old Rooney interrupted sharply, "We have never taken anything from you, so don't slander us! Let us in quickly!"
"Rooney...it's not very convenient for me here...really!"
"I don't care if it's inconvenient for you! Lucius, do you dare to disobey the Ministry of Magic's orders?"
Old Rooney said loudly and drew out his wand.
Lucius, who was pointed at by the wand, looked extremely ugly, but he still opened the door.
Old Rooney and the three of them filed in, their faces full of pride.
When one of the middle-aged clerks passed by Lucius, he also pulled off the silver Malfoy family crest pinned to Lucius's chest.
"I suspect this thing is a black magic item, and it has been temporarily confiscated!"
As he spoke, he put the badge directly into his pocket.
A look of embarrassment flashed across Lucius's face, his fists clenched, but he did not dare to speak.
Seeing this, Old Rooney and the three of them laughed and walked towards the villa not far away.
They were so familiar with Malfoy Manor that they didn't need Lucius to guide them.
And the moment they turned back.
The embarrassed look on Lucius's face disappeared instantly.
Instead, there was a somewhat weird sneer.
The three old Rooneys, who knew nothing about this, walked into the main hall of the villa.
Narcissa has already been waiting here.
Old Rooney glanced greedily back and forth at Narcissa.
And finally landed on an emerald pendant around Narcissa's neck.
"That's a gem soaked in black magic!" Old Rooney exaggerated, "Mrs. Malfoy, you just hang it around your neck like this? No! For your safety, I must take it away!
"
"And your coat and underwear. I suspect there's something wrong with them too. Take them off and let us help deal with them!"
a clerk shouted loudly.
As soon as he said this, Old Rooney and another clerk burst into laughter.
But the strange thing is that even though his wife was so humiliated, Lucius, who was following them, remained silent and showed no intention of making any advances.
Narcissa herself had no expression at all on her face.
He walked silently to the depths of the hall and made an inviting gesture towards an open door.
This made Old Rooney feel a little bored.
He originally wanted to deliberately provoke the Malfoys and make them do impulsive things, so as to accuse them of more serious crimes.
But I didn't expect the Malfoys to be so tolerant.
However, this is not a big problem.
Old Rooney didn't believe it.
When they really want to attack Narcissa later, Lucius can still hold it back!
With this thought in mind, Old Rooney led his men and walked into the door with great pride.
The room behind the door is very dark.
The curtains here are all drawn, and the only lighting is a burning fireplace.
And through the firelight shining in the fireplace, Old Rooney could clearly see two rows of wizards sitting at the long table in the center of the living room.
These wizards were uniformly dressed in black robes, had fierce expressions, and were staring at them fiercely.
Old Rooney's body began to tremble unconsciously.
To be honest, old Rooney also participated in the first wizard war.
He would not tremble with fear just because so many people were staring at him with malicious intent.
But the problem is that among the group of black-robed wizards in front of him are several of his old acquaintances.
Just like Bellatrix, Antonin Dolohov, Rodolphus Lestrange...
These people are all Death Eaters!
And there are several of them who escaped from Azkaban!
The most important thing is that sitting at the main seat of the long table is a strange-looking man without a nose.
Old Rooney only looked at the man once, and his whole mind was enveloped by a familiar feeling of fear.
'This is Voldemort! Voldemort is really resurrected!'
Old Rooney roared in his heart.
He couldn't believe his eyes now.
He was just raiding his home to avenge his son, why did he raid the Death Eaters' lair all of a sudden?
Is he being tricked by his son?!
In panic, Old Rooney subconsciously wanted to run away.
But before he could make any move, he heard a loud "winter" sound behind him - the door was closed!
"Master, these three people from the Ministry of Magic insist on searching Malfoy Manor." Lucius said respectfully to Voldemort, "I'm sorry, I really can't stop them."
As soon as this statement came out.
The whole living room immediately exploded.
"The Ministry of Magic has discovered us! We must move immediately!"
"Idiot! If we are discovered, will you only send these three losers to the door?"
"This is an insult to us! Master! We must fight back!"
To be continued...
