The day of the duel at Hogwarts

"Howard, do you know the dangers of doing this?"

"Danger? Of course I know, but if I don't take risks, then sooner or later my territory and business will be destroyed by those damn werewolves. At that time, let alone danger, it will be impossible to survive, and your boss will not even think about it. With the huge annual dividends, you don’t want extra money every month.

Of course, if you say that you can give up those gold Galleons, then I have not said that. I will find a place to hide immediately. Before the business and territory are all plundered by those damn werewolves and the black wizards who took advantage of the situation, I can make as much profit as possible. One point is one, anyway, my wife and children have obtained American citizenship, and the money is enough for them to live and clothe themselves for a lifetime. Even if I die, it will be enough! "

Hearing what Howard said, the masked Auror fell silent.

As Howard said, it is impossible for them to give up such a large sum of dividends and extra money. This masked Auror has been doing this for three years, and his family already has a big house. Recently, his family has He is considering buying a house elf. According to his wife, only those who have a house elf at home can be considered a decent family and can be considered to have initially entered the scope of a pure-blood family.

The masked Auror deeply believed in this, so as Howard said, he was reluctant to give up such a large dividend, although in recent times, Rufus Scrimgeour, Director of the Auror Office, has been increasing his efforts to Howard's investigative intensity makes it easy for him to catch clues if he acts rashly, but this matter has indeed reached a crisis situation that affects everyone's income and must be resolved.

Fortunately, during the Christmas period, even if Scrimgeour, that stubborn old guy, could not celebrate the holiday, others would have to celebrate it, and their detection and patrols would not be too strict.

Thinking of this, the masked Auror nodded slowly and said: "What you said makes sense, but you must bring fewer people, otherwise once there are too many people, it will be easy for others to discover it under a big fanfare. This is our Bottom line.”

Without any hesitation, Howard nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll do it as you want. I'll only take four people there."

"four people……"

The masked Auror frowned slightly. His idea was to let Howard only bring two people, but considering that Howard had simply given in just now, he didn't say anything more. Anyway, including himself and Howard, there were only six people. There weren't too many people there, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

Thinking of this, the masked Auror said directly to Howard: "Okay, then four people, take your people, let's leave here secretly and go to the agreed place for negotiations. Don't delay too long."

"Okay, let's do it now."

Howard pulled out his wand and waved it lightly, and four dark wizards immediately used apparation to rush to Howard's side. Among these four people, two of them were Marlowe's men. The two of them saw that they had been summoned. Here, they looked at each other quite vaguely, and then they stood next to Howard with their eyes, nose, nose and heart in mind.

"Come on, follow me."

The masked Auror directly disapparated and turned into a white mist rising into the sky. Howard and his four men also followed suit and turned into mist and flew into the air after him.

Hogsmeade.

Howard and others walked into it in two groups.

This place was chosen by the Masked Auror boss.

Compared with other places, this place is more secretive, and Scrimgeour rarely comes near Hogwarts. It is said that Scrimgeour and Dumbledore are not so compatible with many political views, so Scrimgeour usually does not come to Hogwarts. Gwartz, the last time I went to Hogwarts was for Sean Burst, who was in the limelight recently.

Walk into an old shop on the edge of Hogsmeade.

This is the edge of Hogsmeade. In the past, few people came here, so it gradually declined.

Howard walked in here. He looked at some counters in the room and some quite old toys scattered around, knowing that this store might have been a toy store before.

Without paying much attention, Howard led people to the inside of the store. At this time, there were already three Aurors with the same mask waiting here. One of them was sitting on the only clean table, and behind him Opposite there is a clean chair.

"Howard, please sit down."

Howard knew very well that the other party's voice had been changed by magic. This magic seemed to be attached to their masks, so he had no intention of guessing the other party's identity from the sound.

Howard didn't dare either.

"Hello, I wonder if you already know about the difficulties I have encountered recently."

Nodding slightly, the masked Auror boss said: "He has told me that you can wait patiently for those werewolves. The Ministry of Magic has begun to prepare to deal with them. We will also help you in this regard. It won't be too big. problem, but we also have requirements here, that is, the dividend cannot be reduced, and to solve this problem, our dividend needs to be increased by five percentage points."

"That's impossible, five percentage points is too much!"

"It's not much. Compared with what we paid, five percentage points is quite reasonable."

"If you don't pay, you won't get anything in the future."

As soon as he said these words, the masked Auror boss suddenly let out a sneer. His head slowly moved closer to Howard, his eyes stared at Howard through the gap in the mask, and said with a sneer: "Howard, maybe you got something wrong. , starting from the time you cooperate with us, whether you do this or not is no longer your decision."

"What if I don't do it? Kill me? But what if I'm not afraid of death?"

"You are indeed not afraid of death, but are the mother and son at No. 18 XX Street in San Francisco, USA, afraid of death?"

Upon hearing this address, Howard stood up suddenly. He stared at the masked Auror boss and said word by word: "How do you know their address!"

Looking at Howard who was furious, the masked Auror boss smiled jokingly and said, "Why don't you know?"

"What exactly do you want?"

"Didn't I just say it? The dividend cannot be reduced, and it should be increased by five percentage points."

"Two percentage points, no more."

"this is okay.

You see, I'm still very talkative, right? "

"Deal with those werewolves as soon as possible, otherwise my business will not be able to continue."

"Of course, you just need to go back and wait..."

Before the masked Auror boss finished speaking, the windows and doors of the abandoned shop burst open, and a group of Aurors rushed in. Rufus Scrimgeour took the lead and headed towards the masked Auror boss, Directly releasing a brilliant red light.

"No need to wait, you have no future!"
