Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1414 Underhanded

   That night, Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny got together to discuss the matter.

  They had heard from Fred and George that they would go to the Ministry of Magic to collect their bounty. Although they don't know how they operate, they all think this idea is really good, and even want to participate in it, but they are ruthlessly rejected by Sirius and the twins.

  Tonight, Harry finally knew the method they used.

Although the method of killing people after using the compound potion to the black wizard is indeed a bit cruel, none of the four of Harry felt that Sirius did something wrong. After all, those heinous black wizards were all murderers. In the contemporary era when the Ministry of Magic is controlled by Voldemort, it is impossible for them to get real sanctions.

   It is undeniable that what Sirius did was a little bit beyond their expectations, but after thinking about it, there is really no problem.

   After all, people are not killed by themselves, so there is no psychological burden, especially if the dead people are guilty of serious crimes, then they deserve to die.

  Although it does sound like self-consolation, Sirius’ actions did bring retribution to the group of murderers, and could effectively reduce Muggle deaths and injuries, and bring some money back to make up for the shortfall.

   Whether it is the Order of the Phoenix or the Defense Association, if they want to continue to survive, they need financial support.

   After all, people have to eat.

  It would be really funny if they were forced to disband because they had no money to eat.

  When he was in school, Harry didn't have to worry about money at all, but after staying in the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix for a long time, he also figured out a lot of things.

   It is far from enough to resist the mysterious man with full of enthusiasm, especially after Dumbledore's death and the Order of the Phoenix lost its source of funds, it is almost impossible to maintain it. Even if it really persists, I am afraid there will be very little left.

  The only thing Harry and the others regretted was that they couldn't participate in it personally.

  A few days later, people read the "death" of Sirius Black in the Daily Prophet.

  The front page of the newspaper was filled with photos of Sirius' death, as if to tell everyone that Sirius Black was really dead.

  Death Eaters are all excited about killing the first significant member of the Order of the Phoenix.

   After all, since Voldemort controlled the British wizarding world through the Ministry of Magic, members of the Order of the Phoenix have been hiding like mice. It is extremely difficult to encircle them many times, or they can't find their targets at all.

   So far, there is still only the success story of Sirius Black.

  According to the detailed reports in the newspapers, the search team that surrounded and suppressed Sirius suffered heavy casualties, and in the end they relied on Avada's sneak attack to successfully kill him.

  However, the "Dark Wizard" who successfully killed Sirius Black was not happy at all, because the large bounty promised by the Ministry of Magic has been seriously shrunk.

   The excuse given is also very simple. It takes a process to receive the bounty, and it is hard to say how long this process will take. If you don't have to set an example for others, it's really not certain how many Galleons you can get!

For this reason, Sirius Black was so angry that he jumped out of the grave, and personally took someone to visit the home of the senior official of the Ministry of Magic. After learning about the whole process in detail, he still failed to get Back to that Galleon.

  The reason is also very simple, the bounty was divided up layer by layer.

  Thus, the "lucky guy" in the eyes of the dark wizard began to spread the good news everywhere, and prepared for his sudden disappearance.

  As for why it suddenly disappeared?

   Naturally, the Death Eaters of the Ministry of Magic silenced it.

   Believe it or not.

   It can be regarded as completely tearing off the fig leaf on their faces, so that all wizards can clearly see the ugly faces of the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters.

  The dog-eat-dog event came soon.

  As for Blake's "death", it was also proved to be false in the broadcast.

   "So far, we have contacted the Order of the Phoenix and confirmed that Sirius is still there. As for the latest news on the "Daily Prophet", we think it is a trick of the Death Eaters."

   That's right!

  What's the matter with him Blake.

  However, not so many people care about whether Sirius Black is really dead.

  People are more willing to believe what they think.

   There are countless melon eaters who are happy to watch dark wizards and death eaters dog-eat-dog.

  So, this incident spread in the British magic circle at a jaw-dropping speed.

   Almost no one discusses Black's life and death, and everyone pays more attention to the shady scenes in the Ministry of Magic.

  The Ministry of Magic or the Death Eaters dare to exploit the bounty to only 30%.

  Of course, there are not a few dark wizards who gloat over this, envy and jealousy are natural.

  However, this "lucky guy" who had just made great contributions to the Death Eaters disappeared inexplicably a few days later. Many wizards suspected that he had been ruthlessly killed by the Ministry of Magic or the Death Eaters.

   This stabbed the dark wizard's backside all at once, directly blowing up the dark wizard's circle.

   Everyone gloats, but it is another matter to kill people and silence them.

  Even though many people expected that such a day might come, they still have to stand up and express their dissatisfaction, so as to avoid becoming a poor victim one day.

   It can only be said that Albert's move was very ruthless, and it directly caused the reputation of the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters to plummet.

  Although they have little credibility to speak of, many Dark wizards have become wary of Death Eaters and the Ministry of Magic after this incident.

   Most of the original search and arrest team was disbanded at once, and there was no reason to continue to follow the path of others.

  The funniest thing is that the senior official of the Ministry of Magic who handled this matter was robbed by many groups of people in just a few days.

   As for who did it?

   Naturally, it cannot be all Order of the Phoenix.

  Although it was indeed created by Sirius at the beginning, the power of an example is powerful. With Sirius as an example, everyone will naturally take revenge if they have revenge, and take the blame for those who have no revenge and continue to take revenge.

  No one knows if there is something wrong with the bounty they received at the beginning.

  Lost this group of dark wizards driven by profit, the Death Eaters soon realized that the situation was not good.

   The number of Death Eaters is very limited after all, and many things have to be done with the help of the British dark wizards, but after they protested badly, many things cannot continue.

After hearing the news, Yaxley was so angry that he smashed his office. He really didn't care about the reputation of the Ministry of Magic, and he didn't care about the opinions of other dark wizards, but this incident also ruined their reputation. He doesn't have much reputation, but this kind of stupid thing of opening his own wounds for everyone to laugh at almost made him crooked his nose.

  The worst thing is that the guy actually disappeared, which is basically saying that someone from the Ministry of Magic sent someone to kill people.

Looking at the group of idiots in front of him who were still planning to quibble, Yaxley also realized what a stupid thing he had done, so he directly raised his wand and used Avada Kedavra to send the loudest guy among them to death. gone.

   Anyway, the one who died was not a Death Eater, so if you kill him, you will kill him.

  Looking at the terrified wastes, Yaxley was quite satisfied with his deterrence.

   On this day, the employees of the Ministry of Magic recalled the horror that they were being ruled by Voldemort.

   However, as the culprit of all this, Sirius Black has no guilt about this, and even tells everyone the whole thing as a joke, completely ignoring the cruel fact that he is "dead".
