Chapter 113: “Danger Approaching Malfoy”

Saved a life? The expression on Matthews face appeared slightly confused, but for someone who knew him well, it was apparent that his confusion was feigned.

However, Minister Bagnold couldnt be certain.

With a serious tone, Minister Bagnold explained, Dangerous Magical Objects smuggled into England are extremely dangerous. The danger cannot be eliminated even if the owner adds protective magic or props.

For wizards in charge of transport, especially those who dont comprehend the dangers, such risks are terrifying! As she spoke, she took a pocket-sized photo from her jacket pocket.

This wizard is called Juan. He briefly worked at Flourish & Blotts Bookstore in August last year, Minister Bagnold introduced.

Matthew recognized the person in the photo.

He recalled encountering the same wizard a year ago when he ventured into Flourish & Blotts Bookstore to inquire about things.

The rude clerk who kicked him out was none other than the wizard in the photo!

In early September, he was expelled from Flourish & Blotts Bookstore for a reason, Minister Bagnold continued.

Then, in mid-October, he contracted a strange disease and was admitted to Saint Mungos Magic Hospital. Within three days, he passed away. Its said that his death was extremely horrifying, and he kept crying and itching all over his body before he died, leaving almost no normal flesh.

St. Mungos therapists couldnt explain the cause of his death. Some Aurors proficient in extreme magic deduced that he died due to the influence of mysterious extreme magic. However, no evidence related to extreme magic was found in Mr. Coos residence.

At that time, I was already somewhat suspicious of Flourish & Blotts Bookstore, but I couldnt find any evidence. When I received your letter this morning, I immediately linked the smuggling incident to Juans death. I must thank you, Mr. Wickfield!

Minister Bagnold spoke politely.

That is my duty, Minister! Matthew responded quickly, his emotions not fluctuating much.

He knew something was amiss with the smuggling process when Mr. Shafiq found him in the morning.

Matthew was well aware of the price he would have to pay.

Despite his disdain for house elves, he must admit that Dobby had never failed him.

Was there a problem with the plan itself?

At that moment, Mr. Malfoy became even more restless.

Suddenly, a crisp explosion filled the air, and a short, ugly creature resembling a bat spirit appeared before Mr. Malfoy.

Its protruding, tennis-sized eyes peered timidly at its owner.

Whats the situation? Mr. Malfoy couldnt wait and bent down to ask.

The Master ordered Dobby to go to Flourish & Blotts Bookstore, and Dobby did his best, the House-elf stammered, frantically knocking on the floor.

Enough! He frowned in disgust. What happened next?

Dobby couldnt find the wooden box at Flourish & Blotts Bookstore. He thought it hadnt arrived yet, so he waited. After half an hour, he heard a strange sound. Dobby thought it was Mr. Shafiq returning from Flourish & Blotts Bookstore and was happy. However, it was actually Aurors who broke in, and Dobby was terrified. He fled back immediately.

The house elf spoke incoherently while punishing himself.

Mr. Malfoys face suddenly changed at this revelation.

Aurors went to Flourish & Blotts Bookstore. Shafiqs actions must have been exposed, and he might confess at any moment!

Mr. Malfoy quickly helped up the house-elf, who was kneeling on the ground. Dobby, I order you to stop punishing yourself. In the smallest room in the basement, theres a box with a snake painted on it. Go now and take the box to Bellatrixs house.

Next, find the man and inform him that the situation has changed, and the Ministry of Magic seized the goods.

Before Mr. Malfoy could finish speaking, a loud BANG echoed from the manors gate.

Someone was attempting to break into Malfoy Manor.
