Chapter 49 Autumn Besieged August Siege

At nine o'clock in the evening on August 1955th, 8, Francis hurried back from the Ministry of Magic in a very bad temper, because he had just lost his temper with a bunch of useless assistants in his office and the head of the Auror office. Two fires: "The letter has not been delivered? What does this mean? I asked you to notify the Tony family in advance, but you actually said that the letter was not delivered?"

"Maybe the owl was attacked halfway..."

"Get out!" He slammed his fist on the desk angrily, "If anything happens to Tony's family, I'll fire you immediately! And you! You idiots in the Auror office, you haven't got my Approved, to launch an attack in Bernard Valley without authorization?! Is your brain full of dragon dung!"

The Siege of Bernard broke out so suddenly that the entire Ministry of Magic has become a mess.What annoyed him the most was that the group in the Auror office had launched the raid without his order, on the grounds that if they waited for approval from the Ministry of Magic, Riddle might have left Bernard's Hollow.The terrain of the Bernard Valley is perfect for containment, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The Auror office has long been at odds with the higher-ups of the Ministry of Magic.Aurors don't have to think about anything other than arresting dark wizards, but high-level officials of the Ministry of Magic also have to consider the overall impact of each action in addition to arresting dark wizards.Bernard Valley is a well-known wizard villa area in the resort, and it happens to be the peak holiday season, and the people who live there are rich and famous in the magic world and their families, and there is absolutely no good fruit to offend these people.

Regardless of the outcome of this raid, the Ministry of Magic is in for a political and diplomatic tsunami of disaster.If they caught Riddle, the Ministry of Magic would face all kinds of difficulties and blame from families whose villas were destroyed or whose family members were injured, and would be discredited by the newspapers and labeled as disregarding citizens' personal property.If they hadn't captured Riddle, the Minister of Magic himself would have to step down, and as the director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, he himself would definitely be implicated, because the siege of Bernard had completely offended countless big figures in the entire British and French magic circles. family.

The word disaster can no longer describe this disaster, it is a complete catastrophe. Although these Aurors have rich combat experience, they do not have any political sensitivity and do not consider any political consequences.Thinking of this, Francis almost wanted to draw out his wand and give those bastards an Avada.Where is it not allowed to fight, it must be in the Bernard Valley!In his entire political career, he had never encountered such a terrible disaster.Luckily Elizabeth came back on the morning of the 24th and had been sleeping in the house all day with migraines.She often had migraines, and when she had an attack, she would shut herself in her room and sleep for more than ten hours, not wanting anyone to disturb her, so he didn't notice anything wrong.

In the study, Jonathan appeared with a stack of documents, and said, "Sir, I just got the news that Tony's family has returned to London safely. But..." He hesitated for a moment, and continued to speak. Mr. Tuart is annoying enough now, and he really doesn't want to add to his troubles, "But Tony Randall and Claudia Randall did not come back. It is said that they had fled outside the valley but something happened, and Mr. Randall turned back again."

"What?!" Francis stood up suddenly, a great fear welled up in his heart, he strode out of the study and walked to the bedroom, the bedroom door was locked.He opened the door with his wand and walked into the room. Lizzie's luggage was there, but the room was empty, and there was no sign of sleeping on the bed.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" He cursed three times in a row, then turned around and ran downstairs. Jonathan chased him into the living room.

Francis grabbed a cloak to throw around him, took a handful of Floo powder and sprinkled it on the fireplace, and said to Jonathan, "I'm going to France now. You stay in my office, hold the situation, and don't say a word. To the media. Tell Nanny and Becca to take care of the three babies."

"father!"

Charles, who was already six years old, swooped down the stairs riding a toy broom, ran over, hugged his legs tightly, looked at him with a pair of black eyes, and said in a clear and clear voice: "Dad, where are you going? Are you going to bring your mother back?"

Francis hadn't cried since he was ten years old.But at this time, some liquid slowly gathered in his eyes, he didn't let the tears fall, he bent down, lifted Charles up high, and said with a smile: "Yes, I'll pick up my mother home. You practice flying and runes at home, and when mom comes back, our family will go to Spain for vacation."

"Really?" Charles danced excitedly, "Becca told me that you and your mother got married in Spain, didn't you?"

"Yes," Francis said lovingly, kissing Charles hard on the head, "do you miss your mother? Barcelona has the most beautiful harbor in Europe. There is a street called the Avenue of the Vagabonds. At the end stands the statue of Columbus, the great navigator. The street is full of wandering entertainers, painting portraits for tourists, and guitarists, violinists, and cellists playing the most wonderful music for tourists, oh, there are also Fantastic gypsy girls who tell fortunes to tourists!"

"Wow! It's great!" Charles was fascinated and said excitedly, "Dad, when Mom comes back, we will go to the Avenue of the Homeless and ask the painter on the side of the road to paint a portrait of our family and hang it on the wall when we come back. In my nursery, will you?"

"of course can."

"Hook, I swear!" said Charles, with a sparkle of earnestness in his dark eyes, like the innocent childishness in Elizabeth's eyes.

Francis hooked his fingers with him, smiled and said, "I promise you."
