Chapter 151 Chapter 150(1/2)
The huge words "azkaban", "attack" and "once again" on the cover of the newspaper almost take up the entire c-space of the page, making it difficult to see. There is also a photo underneath, showing several wizards gathering together to discuss something.
Looking at the details again, he used the usual exaggeration method to describe the attack on Azkaban, and happened to mention the confession of a stayer who was stationed abroad.
"I remember very clearly that it was early this morning, yes, it was definitely early morning. I was the last to come back after normal inspections. You know this place is inaccessible except for dementors, and it's also freezing cold.
But I very clearly saw a white light flying towards Azkaban from a distance, but it was blocked by magic. Oh! I really thought I was dazzled, but not long after this light disappeared, there was another one, two more and more.
The light flew from there and hit the defensive wall.
I'm sure there is a group of people who are organized and premeditated to attack Azkaban! Because, I saw another fire dragon! It was definitely a Ukrainian Iron Belly, I assure Merlin, it must be! Someone deliberately released it, they
I know that Dementors are difficult to deal with, and Dementors cannot harm animals, absolutely!"
This eyewitness's self-report ends here. Next, he reports on the handling of the Legal Enforcement Division responsible for Azkaban. Director Barty Crouch immediately sent Oro to Azkaban for inspection.
At the same time, the Office of Dragon Research and Control within the Department for the Control of Magical Creatures once again reported that the Ukrainian Iron Belly in the department had been artificially released. No trace of the fire dragon had been found before the report came out.
This is obviously not a coincidence, it can be matched with what the witness said, and furthermore, these points are connected in series.
It described the process of the sneak attack on Azkaban in a decent manner, and also mentioned again another major case of numerous Muggle sightings of fire dragons in the past few days, but what is more important is the purpose of these attackers.
The most likely thing is to rescue the criminals imprisoned in Azkaban, and most of the people imprisoned now are the loyal lackeys of the mysterious man after his fall more than ten years ago. This undoubtedly made this editor put this
This sudden attack is connected with whether the dark forces have a tendency to return.
The emphasis on writing brings everyone back to the tragic situation of the British wizarding world more than ten years ago under the control of the Dark Lord. It was a time when everyone was in danger, and you couldn't tell whether the wizard around you was a Death Eater.
Or maybe he is controlled by the Imperius Curse and works for a mysterious person.
Fear spread among everyone, and those who opposed were killed by the Death Eaters in the most cruel way, using the Unforgivable Curse. Many innocent Muggles also suffered from this, and even became the props of this group of lunatics for their enjoyment.
They are everywhere, capable of infiltrating anywhere, spreading terror and causing open violence, but the mysterious man failed, he was defeated, and the Boy Who Lived is now studying at Hogwarts, and he is our
hope.
At this point, the entire report ends.
Although she has not experienced it personally, just through these written descriptions and those people who actually died, Hetty's whole body is already cold. What is she doing? Falling in love with such a evil villain?
This is really ridiculous! If she went out and said she was in love with Voldemort, everyone might think she was suffering from delusional disorder, or they might just send her to Azkaban in the name of a comrade.
In other words, if the current Voldemort is exposed, she will not be regarded as an innocent little girl who was deceived, and she will definitely be killed together.
But now he no longer spreads fear and pure-blood supremacy as he did before. He even entered the Ministry of Magic in order to fulfill her wish, gave up discriminating against Muggles, and accompanied her on dates in the Muggle world, even if he met someone he hated.
No Unforgivable Curse was used.
Others don't believe it, but she understands that this is all true. She has seen it with her own eyes. However, if she starts to defect because of his evil deeds in the past, then the British wizarding world will definitely be over.
The Dark Lord in the past would fail, but now, he is simply a bug! She has ideas but no ability, but he has everything. Even Dumbledore may not be able to defeat him this time, who else can defeat him?
he?
Just thinking about it made Hetty scared, but fortunately the Dark Lord loved her now, and he always remembered what she said and took her to Little Hangleton specifically to keep this matter secret.
Tell her things.
But she happened to have such a feeling of despair that she was about to defect, which was really too much.
After taking a few more deep breaths, Hetty quickly adjusted her mentality. The Dark Lord now was worth loving. It was all her fault that she had to think so much and was still like that at noon. She would have to apologize properly when he came back in the evening.
After making up her mind, Hetty swept away the haze in her heart and looked at the "Daily Prophet" again before finally starting to think about this attack on Azkaban.
It would be understandable if it was just a group of wizards trying to use magic spells to break the protection of Azkaban, and it would be fine to use other magical animals to attract the attention of the dementors, but it is a fire dragon, and it is also the Ukrainian iron belly, which is indeed a coincidence.
Or should we just put it bluntly, this Ukrainian iron belly is the top priority. The case of Miss Hope from the Department for the Control of Magical Creatures being imprisoned in Azkaban and forcibly finalized just last week has taken a turn for the better.
Since they all agreed that the problem was with a small employee like Hope, it would be far-fetched to think that even though she was in Azkaban, that Ukrainian iron belly was secretly released.
Moreover, the time interval between the two incidents was not short, and the public's memory has not been erased. In addition, the report specifically mentioned that case, so with the most normal thinking, one would definitely realize that the unlucky Miss Hope had a high probability
is innocent.
Since the threat of violence is not used, this method is undoubtedly to create a trend of public opinion, but why it is Azkaban, Hetty is not sure.
Or maybe it's actually random, and Azkaban is just one of the points. But for the specific details, you have to ask a certain Dark Lord who agreed to help Brooke.
Well, the mysterious man actually abandoned the most convenient soul-stealing curse, and instead used such a somewhat cumbersome method. No one would believe it, but there will definitely be people who believe that those attackers are the Dark Lord's henchmen.
The Death Eaters once again mobilized collectively after three months in order to rescue their accomplices imprisoned in Azkaban, just because the mysterious man came back.
Who knew that after the Quidditch World Cup finals in the summer there would be a Death Eater parade, which frightened every wizard who went there. Although Hetty was unlucky to be caught and tortured by two Death Eaters, she believed that she
Men know what to do.
Hetty, who had no intention of reading any other news, simply folded up the newspaper and threw it away, then went into the afternoon tea time. She finished the small piece of cake and drank the black tea in several sips before continuing.
Lie back on the sofa, pick up the novel and continue reading.
This time, she took it all in, and Hetty's mind also flew into the story, and time naturally began to flow faster, until she finished flipping through this small book.
I saw her getting up while staring at her eyes that were red from crying, but when she thought about the bad ending of the story, she couldn't help but send the author a razor blade. It was really a sadomasochism all the way, and the candy was still full of glass shards after one sip, and she was so sad all the way,
It's absolutely amazing.
Hetty felt that she was looking for trouble for herself, but she really missed a certain Dark Lord now. She glanced at the time and saw that there were still nearly two hours until he got off work, which was too long.
So, one thing naturally came in handy.
With a skilled summoning spell, the double-sided mirror on the bedside table flew directly into Hetty's hand. Although she hesitated a little, when she thought of the guarantee from a certain Dark Lord, she no longer had any worries and immediately took the initiative to contact him.
After waiting for a short while, the double-sided mirror started to move. As soon as she saw the man she was longing for, Hetty's expression immediately softened, and she pouted her lips and called him aggrievedly, "Tom, I miss you so much."
"
Noticing the eyes of his little girl who had obviously cried, coupled with her pitiful appearance and messy hair, Voldemort narrowed his eyes slightly, and the inexplicable anger suddenly filled his chest, and he immediately said, "Impossible
Take good care of the mistress, it seems there is no need to keep this group of house elves."
Hetty, who was a little confused, blinked and stared at the obviously displeased expression of the man in the mirror. After a few seconds passed, he quickly explained, "No! I don't blame them, it's just that I read a novel, and then...
It’s such a tragedy that I read the entire article and it made me so angry!”
Although she was explaining and explaining, she puffed up her cheeks and started to accuse the heroine in the story of how cowardly she was, and how the male protagonist was inconsiderate and chauvinistic. Countless cracks accumulated little by little, and in the end it could not be sustained and broke.
process.
After listening to her long accusation, Voldemort was dumbfounded. His black eyes were filled with tenderness and her unique doting, and he coaxed softly, "Little fool, that's just a story. Since
If you are not satisfied, why not experience the sweetness you like in reality, be good and wait for me to go back."
Seeing that she finally got to the point, Hetty took the opportunity to "hum", "But I want to be hugged now, and Tom is not here, so I can only be alone. I want Tom to accompany me, so I don't want to be a good boy!"
As she said that, she suddenly shouted loudly, "Ah! I want to roll on the ground, I don't care, I don't care! I just want Tom!"
If he hadn't been unable to see through this small two-way mirror, Hetty would have laid down on the carpet and started rolling around. She fixed the double-way mirror in place, moved it back, and started to look at herself with a little face.
A sulky person.
And Voldemort was able to see clearly the state of his little girl in the afternoon. She was still wearing a loose nightgown, and her hair was obviously not combed. Looking at her profile, the tip of her nose started to turn red, which was a sign that she was about to cry.
However, Voldemort took his time and glanced at the object on the far right side of the double-sided mirror, and then looked at his little girl again, as if she would really cry if she didn't comfort her.
His little guy was a bit too childish, but thinking that he had pampered him, he couldn't help but said, "Be good and go change clothes. I will order Jean to send you here. Are you satisfied, my dear?"
To be honest, Hetty didn't expect this result. She thought she would just coax him at most, but she didn't expect that she could go directly to the Ministry of Magic to find him!
So, Hetty, who turned around as quickly as she could flip through a book, immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Satisfied! I'm going to change clothes now. I'll see you later, Tom."
As he spoke, he was about to cut off the communication, but was stopped by a certain Dark Lord in time, "Turn it on, don't have to turn it off, let me watch you for a while, my dear."
"Yeah, okay." Hetty naturally agreed without hesitation, moved the double-sided mirror to a different position, and then went to pick out her own clothes.
Voldemort saw clearly what his little girl did, and the whole process, except of course when she was taking off her clothes, she had to change into several sets of custom-made dresses. She really chose to have a terminal phobia.
In the end, he gave his opinion, and of course it was purely what he liked.
But looking at his little girl obediently sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her hair and humming a tune, that sweet smile was the happiness she had said.
A sense of happiness that comes from someone with his life experience? Humph, it's really a bit ridiculous and ironic.
This was Hetty's second time coming to the Ministry of Magic. Although her last experience was not good, it was different now. When she arrived at the main hall on the eighth underground floor, she saw a familiar person.
Ten minutes ago, Brooke came to the main hall to pick up someone. He couldn't help but have a headache when he thought about what happened last night. Although he could go back home now, and the woman had no intention of pestering him anymore, the direction of things seemed to be changing.
Go in the worse direction.
Especially after the girl who acted as his girlfriend got drunk last night, he really couldn't forget the gloomy face of this girl's real fiancé. Even though it seemed to be back to his original state today, he was still uneasy, so he took the initiative to accept the job.
Errands.
However, when he saw this girl who was only accompanied by a house elf, Brooke once again put these things behind her and immediately greeted her with a compliment, "Merlin! Good afternoon, Miss Winter, you are as beautiful today as you were yesterday.
, if you hadn’t had a fiancé, I believe I would have pursued you.”
But when Hetty looked at the other person's eyes shining, she instantly thought of the bad things that happened at home a few days ago. She subconsciously took a step back, gave an awkward yet polite smile and whispered, "Good afternoon,
Mr. Brooke, thank you. I want to find Tom."
After being reminded like this, Brooke calmed down and said with a slightly serious face, "Oh! Yes, I am here to pick you up. Come with me. Winter is busy with something, so I will send you there."
"Well, thank you Mr. Brooke." Hetty thanked her very politely, and then told the house elf beside her, "Okay, Gene, please go back."
After Gene withdrew, Hetty followed Brooke towards a row of golden doors at the end of the main hall. Although the man beside her had been chattering about introductions in these short few dozen feet, she just wanted to do it at the moment.
To be continued...
