Chapter 191 Confession Bureau
As the only adult wizard present, the pressure was on Arthur's side.
To be fair, Mr. Weasley, like Ron, now wanted to rush in and see what was going on on Harry Potter's side.
But the problem is, there are three young wizards present, as well as a Muggle like Mr. Granger.
In particular, the little wizard Bourne of the Slughorn family also said that the people who attacked Harry Potter were a group of extremely vicious dark wizards.
Note that it is "a group" and not "one".
Arthur asked himself, his magic level is pretty good in the entire magic world, if not the first echelon, at least the elite among wizards.
If an ordinary dark wizard were to compete with a civilian employee of the Ministry of Magic like him, he would probably end up like a strange bird.
However, if the other party doesn't speak witchcraft and swarms over him... Arthur knows the difference between himself and Dumbledore very well.
If he couldn't even protect himself, then what confidence did he have to protect others present, as well as Harry Potter, whose situation was still unknown at the moment?
However, he is a Gryffindor after all. Courage is the most indispensable virtue of Gryffindor.
"You just stand here and don't move, I..."
Mr. Weasley originally decided to take a look at the situation within the fog, and then asked Mr. Granger to hide with a few young wizards, waiting for an opportunity to report a message to the Ministry of Magic.
But before he could say anything, a voice called from behind.
"Arthur! Why are you here too?"
Shacklebolt and his party, along with two mixed-breed cats, will also arrive at this time.
There is strength in numbers, and the ancients will not deceive me. With more people, the available decisions become more diverse.
After a brief discussion, Mr. Weasley and Shacklebolt decided to take two young Aurors and four of them into the fog-covered area to explore the reality.
The other little wizards were entrusted to Mrs. Figg and Mr. Granger to take care of them.
When the wizards walked into the pink smoke and saw that many passing vehicles and pedestrians were looking at them gathered at the street corner, Mrs. Figg immediately said: "You go home with me first. I'm waiting for news from Arthur and Kingsley at home, so I just prepared some afternoon tea."
Perhaps because of the British enthusiasm for "afternoon tea", or perhaps because the Aurors were out (and Shacklebolt, who led the team, said that he had sent someone to notify Principal Dumbledore before coming), so Ron and Hermione Min's anxious heart finally relaxed a little.
Naturally, Mr. Granger had nothing to refuse, and he agreed with Mrs. Figg's opinion.
However, just when several people turned around and prepared to leave here first, they discovered that the young wizard Bourne, who seemed to be quite independent, did not move at all.
"Bourne, what's wrong with you?"
Ron patted "Bourne" on the shoulder.
"puff--!"
With the sound of a balloon deflating, the "Bourne" who was patted on the shoulder by Ron quickly deflated, and then returned to its original shape.
"robe...wizard robe?"
Ron pointed to the wizard robe on the ground, looked at Hermione, the smartest among the three good friends, and asked in surprise: "Transfiguration can still be used in this way?"
The little witch gave him a big white eye. That means: If you ask me, who should I ask?
They all took the same Transfiguration course, and she didn't remember Professor McGonagall telling them this in class.
Um, that doesn’t seem right either…
Professor McGonagall did not teach this deformation technique in class, but he did teach him the basic rules of Gamp's deformation.
Turning a wizard's robe into a puppet that looks exactly like one's own cannot be regarded as using transfiguration to conjure a magical item. It does not violate the third rule of Gamp's basic rules of transformation: transfiguration cannot truly conjure magical items.
For example, automatic quill pen, variable temperature automatic stirring crucible, gold galleons...etc.
And if the scope of "magic items" is extended, wizards and magical animals can also be included (although there are always people who try to risk their lives to become magical animals when learning Animagus demons).
Hermione replied in an unconfident tone: "Perhaps, it seems, Transfiguration can indeed do this."
After Ron heard this, he slapped his forehead.
"That's not what I want to ask." He said, "I mean, if the wizard's robe becomes his own, will Bourne also slip into the smoke?"
The answer is of course yes.
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, leaning towards the mountains is an obsession of the Astartes.
In particular, he knew that Mrs. Zabini and the dominatrix race behind her might have some unclear relationship with the concept of [Slaanesh], a subspace entity.
Bourne always felt a little uneasy unless he came to the door with his chainsword and bolter and "asked" for details.
Even though several adult wizards present did not allow it, he still came up with a golden cicada-like way to escape from his shell.
To put it simply, he first used the transformation technique to change the wizard's robe to look like himself, and then put a magic body spell on himself - after such a set of silky small combos, everyone present had no idea at first. Noticed his unusual behavior.
"Mundungus said that the reason why Mrs. Zabini came to Privet Drive was to kidnap Harry Potter to scare Dumbledore.
So, in other words, the dead Harry Potter has no value to her, but will instead bring about more terrible revenge.
Therefore, Harry Potter and the Dursleys should be safe for now.
Those old hags with the blood of a hag, even if they are not as skilled at using magic spells as making potions, they should have no problem dealing with a young wizard.
In this way, they would have no reason to kill Harry Potter and avoid escalating the situation. "
It was with this prediction as the confidence that Bourne did not immediately choose to use a forceful attack to rescue the hostages. Instead, like a qualified Gryffindor little lion, he showed the time-tested night wandering skills. Technique - skillful use of the Disguise Charm and flexible positioning skills - he hid his figure and quickly approached No. 4, Privet Drive in the smoke and dust. He even reached his destination faster than Mr. Weasley, Shacklebolt and others.
On the way, he also met two of Mrs. Zabini's men. The two men were working together to carry a steaming cauldron out of a nearby house, preparing to carry it into the Dursley's house.
While carrying the pot, the two of them were actually humming vulgar songs in unison.
"The cauldron is boiling."
"I started preparing the potion."
"You can't give less raw liver as a reward."
"Otherwise, my dear wizard, you have to sleep with us."
"Hey hey hey..."
"Hey hey hey..."
Pink bubbles were rising out of the cauldron, creating a strange smoke that enveloped half of the block of Privet Drive. It was precisely because the potion ingredients in the cauldron were being boiled.
Originally, the cauldron could not be easily removed from the fire before Mrs. Zabini left.
The reason why the two old hags wanted to move it to the Dursley's house was because there was a lack of a cauldron capable of brewing potions there.
(Although the dominatrix reform committee operates this place as a safe house, their preparations are not complete due to time constraints.)
They placed the cauldron in the Dursleys' hall.
In the horrified eyes of the family, Mrs. Zabini directed her men to pour the raw materials one by one into the cauldron.
——Sri Lankan vulture bile
——Burlock summer grass
——Half-Ear Grass Bud
——Stalactites from Juris, Iceland
——Ferret heart tendon
——Salamander serum
——Indian aromatherapy powder
——Appropriate amount of water
And most importantly, she also asked two of her men to cut her palms with knives and add some blood to the cauldron.
"This is making truth serum."
Bourne, who had been watching the work of these old hags invisibly, immediately analyzed the formula from the formula to what potion they were going to make.
Even for a wizard who has received a complete seven years of magic education, this is actually not an easy task. But for Bourne, who has received Horace's "early education lessons", this is just a basic operation, and anyone named "Slughorn" can do it.
Moreover, while the old hag who was making the medicine turned around to look for a spoon, Bourne secretly took out his deformed lizard wallet and added something to the cauldron.
"I'm afraid there will be a confessional today."
