HP Polar Night

Chapter 53 Questions

When Agares arrived at the Auror Command office on the second basement floor of the Ministry of Magic, he saw many wizards here who had seen him in Malfoy Manor.All of them were from Slytherin, and what's more, several of them were members of the person Agares knew, members of the Death Eaters.He wasn't at all surprised to see the Malfoys in the crowd looking impatient but forced to endure.

If he was summoned because he was Sirius Black's biological son, then Narcissa Black Malfoy, Sirius' adult sister and her husband Lucius Malfoy, who was accused of participating in the Death Eater operation If you are blessed, you should be among the ranks of calling.

Seeing the only underage wizard standing here, everyone else was whispering to each other, obviously talking about Agares' life experience.Narcissa looked very angry, but her long-standing ladylike demeanor kept her from showing her inner emotions on her face, but those familiar with her could easily see the witch's psychological activities at the moment from her cold eyes.

"Come here, Agares." Narcissa pulled her poor nephew to her side, and said in a voice only he and Lucius could hear: "Cornelly Fudge with his head squeezed by the door, Rufus Scrimgeour, who has changed his mind, actually asked a 14-year-old boy to explain whether he has a connection with his father, a fugitive jailbreaker who was imprisoned in Azkaban 12 years ago! Oh, Merlin Reincarnation cannot save their IQ."

Agares couldn't help but glanced at Lucius, who pretended not to hear anything, and was staring at a decorative lace on the wall in front of him.

Someone from the Auror Division soon came out to control the situation. Obviously, most people were unwilling to deal with the Slytherins in this room. The one who was pushed out was a soft-tempered and unlucky guy. Eyes bullying and crying.

Hufflepuff, no doubt about it.

"Agareth Black, please come in. Director Scrimgeour has something to ask you." The hapless Auror finished his words tremblingly at the parchment, and then looked at the youngest boy in the room , with a pitiful look.

Narcissa sneered: "Agares is still underage. As his guardian, my husband Lucius and I need to be present in case you use any improper means against him."

Lucius, who was called by name, looked away and subconsciously showed a signature smirk.

The performance of the Malfoys made the Auror at a loss. He looked at Agares in confusion, then at the Malfoys who were not easy to mess with, and finally only said: "I have to ask for instructions!" disappeared.

"Hmph, Hufflepuff." Lucius snorted coldly.

What happened just now seemed to have broken the peace in the room. Several Slytherins who usually had a good relationship with the Malfoy family crowded over and surrounded them, talking one after another.The conversation was nothing more than Sirius Black's escape and the security situation in Azkaban, and the incompetence of the Aurors and the Ministry of Magic.Of course, what was more cryptic in their words was whether there was someone behind the escape of the Death Eaters, whether the Malfoy family knew the truth, and whether there would be more Death Eaters escaping from prison.

But judging from the performance of these people, it seems that no one knows more about the escape incident. Although many of them are Death Eaters who escaped the trial, it is obvious that those Death Eaters who were imprisoned in Azkaban Not their friend.In comparison, they hope that those people will stay in Azkaban well, so as not to cause them big trouble.

The conversation didn't last long, and soon the door of the office opened again. This time, not only the Auror from before, but also the director of the command, Scrimgeour, came out.

"Mr. Black, and Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy, please come in."

Following the sound of these words, the room was silent for a while.It wasn't until Agares followed the Malfoys into the office that there was a buzzing sound behind him.

The door of the office has a fairly good sound insulation effect, and you can't hear any sound after closing it.This is the second time Agares has come to the Auror Command. The last time was the Azkaban visit that Narcissa applied for him after he just came to the wizarding world.I really didn't expect that the second visit was also related to Azkaban.

Scrimgeour is a very no-nonsense wizard who doesn't seem easy to get along with and isn't impressed by any kind of wealth or power.He's clearly on the side of justice, and that's evident from the way he speaks to the Malfoys.You know that even the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, will be polite to Lucius.

He led them into his private office, passing empty desks, and it seemed plausible that all Aurors were out.

"Mr. Agareth Black, I need to ask you a few questions. I hope you will not hide anything and tell the truth." Scrimgeour said.

"Of course, sir, I must know everything and say everything," Agares replied.

Scrimgeour smiled very faintly, not at all obvious. "Sit down, gentlemen." He waved his wand, and a few armchairs that had been vacant in the corner of the room were moved over.In the eyes of other young wizards, this silent magic might be a symbol of strength, but the other three wizards in the room, even the underage Agares, just turned a blind eye to it.

"During the last visit to Sirius Black, did he tell you about the escape?"

"No, sir."

"Did he behave unusually, such as being overly agitated, or revealing to you that he wanted to leave Azkaban?"

"No, sir."

"I need you to repeat everything Sirius Black said to you, and if necessary, you can use the Pensieve." Scrimgeour gestured to the objects placed in the corner of the desk, and Narcissa looked very angry , to his proposal.No matter what the circumstances, it is very, very rude and reckless to ask a wizard to hand over his memory.

"I think I still remember these few words, sir." Agares politely declined the Pensieve. "Actually, Mr. Black didn't say anything to me. He only asked me why I came, and then told me to go back and not come again."

For the father of a child, Sirius Black's performance is obviously too cold.Scrimgeour was skeptical, but since Narcissa and Lucius were still here, it was impossible for him to press Agares any further.So he let Agares go, and started asking Sirius Black's cousin and cousin's husband instead, the kind of questioning that didn't miss a single detail.

Both Narcissa and Lucius were embarrassed and annoyed by such forced interrogation, but they completed the interrogation cooperatively.In the end, Scrimgeour failed to obtain any information from them, and only warned them, for example, if Black contacted them, he must tell the Auror immediately, otherwise he would be punished as harboring a key criminal.

When they left the office, the Malfoys could still maintain a superficial calm, but when they said goodbye to the other Slytherins and took Agares back to Malfoy Manor, the suppressed anger could not help but burst out .

Dobby the house elf could only bear the anger of the hostess and hostess. The poor little guy was kicked by the host before he could figure out what was going on, because he didn't clean up the stains on the floor by the door in time.

Draco, who ran out, was taken aback by his father's anger. Fortunately, the Malfoys have always been fond of their only son, and they would not show any inappropriate emotions in front of their son.Narcissa said: "Draco, have you finished your homework? Then go to the garden with Agares to play. I will ask Dobby to call you before dinner."

Although he was full of doubts, Draco had already learned not to refute his mother, because an angry mother would only be more terrifying than his father.So he obediently agreed, and then pulled Agares towards the garden.

It wasn't until he ran away from his parents' sight that Draco let go of his curiosity and asked, "What did you guys do? I've never seen Mom and Dad so angry."

Agares shrugged: "It's nothing, they just think the Minister of Magic and Director Auror are not so friendly." "Oh, I heard from my father that they are two idiots. I really don't understand why Dad doesn't run for the Minister of Magic , I dare say he will be the best minister ever." The naive Draco must have never thought about what public opinion is all about.If Lucius Malfoy can become the Minister of Magic, unless there is only one house left in the British wizarding world, Slytherin.

"I heard that Sirius Black escaped from prison?" Draco didn't feel that his cousin's father was a criminal in Azkaban, so he didn't need to pay attention to it. In his opinion, Agares was Agares Well, Sirius Black has nothing to do with him other than a little blood connection.

It has to be said that Agares prefers Draco's attitude.

"Yes, the Ministry of Magic summoned me for questioning, and wanted to know if I had any close contact with him." Agares said indifferently.

Draco wrinkled his nose: "You are with me every day, I didn't know you had contact with that person. The Ministry of Magic is really incompetent. I want to join the Ministry of Magic after I graduate and expel those idiots. "The boy who wanted to be windy and rainy since he was a child didn't know what it takes to enter the Ministry of Magic. He just thought that the "incompetent Ministry of Magic" that his parents talked about was like a childhood toy. can have.

For Draco's thoughts, Agares has long seen clearly.Of course, he never thought of giving this naive cousin any ideological education, after all, that's what his parents should do.

"However, I also heard a bad news. If he still can't be caught, the Ministry of Magic may send out dementors to search and station them in Hogwarts." Dementors, guards of Azkaban , a very scary magical creature.They feed on the joy and courage of humans, and possess the ability to suck souls away.

After seeing this creature for the first time, Agares wanted to understand it, and found an introduction to this creature in the Hogwarts library, and also knew the spell to deal with it, the Patronus Charm .It's a pity that he is very good at any spell, and after practicing the Patronus Charm for almost a semester, he had to give up learning it.

And now knowing that Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban, and that the Ministry of Magic is likely to release the dementors, Agares couldn't help but hesitate whether to continue to try the Patronus Charm.At least he didn't want to have no means of protecting himself when he encountered that monster.Who knows if this monster is completely under the control of the Ministry of Magic.

The author has something to say:

Death Eaters can't use the Patronus Charm - why is that?

dark magic? ——But Snape can use it. He probably used black magic a lot when he was with the Death Eaters, right?For example, Shenfeng Wuying created by himself is black magic.

Voldemort didn't allow his subordinates to learn this? - Well, I can't figure it out

Does anyone know the answer? [This involves whether I want Agares to have a patron saint, um...]
