The Mightiest Aurors of Hogwarts

Chapter 50 Tonks Christmas Family Dinner

Mad-Eye Moody would cause a sensation even if he appeared in Knockturn Alley. Years of working as an Auror on the front line left too many injuries on him - he lost a leg, an eye, and his face was covered with dark magic. The wounds left behind.

Therefore, when he came to this Muggle community, he naturally attracted the attention of passers-by.

"Haha, everyone, look at my look. I have a film appointment this afternoon."

Although I don't know what "modeling" means, let alone what "film appointment" means, it is obvious that the rhetoric Aesop taught me is still very useful.

At least those Muggles showed the same expression after he said these words - although Moody himself didn't know what he understood.

He stopped outside a garden villa, took out the curved wine bottle and took a sip before stepping forward and ringing the doorbell.

"Moody?" Tonks opened the door full of surprises. She didn't expect that Mad-Eye would come to visit during the Christmas holiday. "Why are you here?"

"Ha, I'm here by invitation. I'm here to inform you that the Auror internship is over - you will be an official Auror from today on." After his retirement, Moody also served as the instructor of the Auror training camp, and Tonks The relationship is good.

Nymphadora Tonks' father, Mr. Ted, heard the movement at the door and came out: "Alastor, you are finally here!"

"Dad, you invited Mr. Moody here?"

Mr. Ted shook hands with Moody: "Of course, you are going to become an official Auror, of course we have to take care of you."

Tonks' mother's voice came from the kitchen: "The food will be ready soon. You and Mr. Moody can have a drink first."

"Okay, Andromeda." Ted turned to Moody and patted his fat belly, "There are not many opportunities like this. She has banned me from drinking in the past few years, thanks to you."

Andromeda's craftsmanship is good. To be honest, Moody hasn't attended this kind of Christmas dinner for a long time. He has been fighting dark wizards all his life, and his personality has become more extreme. He is obviously not suitable for marriage and children.

"It tastes great." Moody cut up some turkey meat for himself. "Except for this, but this is not a problem with your craftsmanship. Andromeda, according to Aesop Green, is a problem with the meat quality of the turkey itself. , making it difficult to make a delicacy.”

"But if the Christmas party lacks turkey, it will feel like something is missing." Mr. Ted nodded.

"Yes, this is the power of tradition. Human beings are a species that can ignore the facts because of habits - of course, this sentence was also said by Aesop." Moody chewed the turkey meat with a little firewood.

Mr. Ted and Lady Andromeda looked at each other.

"Alastor, do you also support Tonks' decision?" Finally, Mrs. Andromeda said.

After becoming an official Auror, if they are not directly under the Auror Command, they will often join an Auror team.The Tonks couple (mainly Mrs. Andromeda) preferred Kingsley Shacklebolt's Thestrals. Tonks' performance in the training camp could meet the requirements for joining the team; but Tonks herself did not Said that they will continue to stay in Captain Green's team - this is the main reason why they invited Moody to come today.

However, Moody seemed to have a particularly high regard for Aesop Green.

"The influence of the Shacklebolt family is second to none among purebloods, and Kingsley himself is also very capable." Now that it was clear, Mrs. Andromeda became more direct, "And I heard that Aesop ·Green's reputation is not very good..."

Tonks frowned: "I thought you didn't care about your origin, mother."

You know, Andromeda was "Miss Black" before she became "Mrs. Tonks". She is Bellatrix's sister and Sirius's cousin.Logically speaking, she should be a supporter of pure blood, but in the end Andromeda Black was expelled from the Black family and married a Muggle-born Hufflepuff wizard.

"These two things have nothing to do with each other." Mrs. Tonks said to her daughter coldly. Mr. Ted clapped her hand and looked at his daughter accusingly.

"Okay, okay." Tonks said helplessly. This was the situation in her family. She could never get a majority in this family because Mr. Ted would always support his wife unconditionally.

Moody knocked on the dinner plate twice: "Kingsley and Aesop are both from Slytherin, so there is no difference to me."

"How could it be the same! I heard that Aesop Green's methods of dealing with dark wizards are often quite extreme," Mrs. Tonks lowered her voice, "It is said that although the number of dark wizards captured by Aesop is second only to you—— Alastor - but in fact, the number of dark wizards who fell into his hands far exceeded the number he sent to Azkaban. Many people believe that part of his power comes from his influence on those dark wizards who were concealed. Conducted inhumane magic experiments."

If Aesop hears this statement, he will definitely burst into tears. He did "concealed" a group of dark wizards, but those people can stay in the evil-suppressing cube and become his magic battery - there is no such thing as Magic experiments are good or not.

And there are only two reasons why these dark wizards are detained.

Some of them provided huge amounts of magic points, which meant they were guilty of serious crimes, but the information available to the Ministry of Magic could at best sentence them to a few months in prison.For such wizards, Aesop is certainly unwilling to use normal procedures to deal with them, otherwise it would be cruel to those victims.

And some dark wizards exist simply because they are not suitable.Some of them have mastered some kind of magic, and the dementors do not have a deep influence on them, so imprisonment is not a serious punishment for them; some are too powerful, and entering Azkaban will become unstable. factor.

Sirius is the first wizard to escape from Azkaban in recent years, but he will never be the last.

So what Aesop did was just a helpless move. Who makes the laws of the British wizarding world so simple? To deal with dark wizards, the only punishment is imprisonment in Azkaban, but the length of the sentence is different.

"This is nonsense!" Tonks protested at her mother's words.

Moody nodded solemnly: "Many people think so, but even so, I support it - are there innocent dark wizards in this world?"

Mr. Ted saw that the atmosphere at the dinner table became serious and knew that he should not continue the topic: "Aratos, I have heard some rumors recently."

Having said this, he looked at his wife: "They, some of them are even employees of the Ministry of Magic, and they said that Sirius is probably innocent."

Tonks saw her mother's hand tightening on the fork and quickly lowered her head, pretending to be interested in the turkey meat.

Moody glanced at Tonks: "Ah, didn't she tell you? She was the first to bring this news to me, and I didn't believe it at first."

"Nymphadora Tonks?" Andromeda lowered her voice, but this time it was not out of concern, but out of anger.

"Mom, I originally planned to tell you at the end of the Christmas vacation!"
