Chapter 1414： Do something dirty

 Chapter 1414: Playing the dirty tricks

 That evening, Harry met with Hermione, Ron and Ginny to discuss the matter.

 They had heard from Fred and George before that they wanted to go to the Ministry of Magic to collect their bounties. Although they didn't know how they operated, they all thought the idea was really good and even wanted to participate, but were ruthlessly rejected by Sirius and the twins.

Tonight, Harry finally understood the method they used.

Although the method of killing people after using compound potions on dark wizards is indeed a bit cruel, none of the four Harrys thought that Sirius did something wrong. After all, those heinous dark wizards were all murderers. In a contemporary world where the Ministry of Magic is controlled by Voldemort, there is no way for them to get real sanctions.

It is undeniable that what Sirius did was a bit beyond their expectations, but if you think about it carefully, there is really nothing wrong with it.

 After all, people are not killed by their own hands, so there is no psychological burden. Especially since the people who died were guilty of serious sins, they deserved to die.

Although it does sound like he is consoling himself, Sirius's approach did bring retribution to the group of murderers, and it could also effectively reduce the casualties of Muggles, and at the same time get some money back to make up for the shortfall.

Whether it is the Order of the Phoenix or the Defense Association, if it wants to continue to maintain it, it will always need financial support.

 After all, everyone has to eat.

 It would be really funny if the group was 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 at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix for a long time, he also figured out many things.

It is not enough to resist the mysterious man with full enthusiasm, especially after Dumbledore's death and the Order of the Phoenix losing its source of funding, it is almost unsustainable. Even if it really persists, there may not be much left.

The only regret for Harry and the others is that they were unable to participate in person.

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

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

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

After all, since Voldemort took control of the British wizarding world through the Ministry of Magic, members of the Order of the Phoenix have been hiding like mice. It has been extremely difficult to suppress them many times, or they can't find the target at all.

 So far, there is still only one successful case of Sirius Black.

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

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

The excuse given is also very simple. There is a process required 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 his grave. He personally took people to visit the home of the senior official of the Ministry of Magic. After learning about the whole incident in detail, he still couldn't get it. Get that Galleons back.

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

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

 As for why he disappeared suddenly?

Of course, the Death Eaters from the Ministry of Magic were silenced.

Whether everyone believes it or not, this is the case.

It can be regarded as completely removing the fig leaf from their faces, allowing all wizards to see clearly the ugly faces of the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters.

The dog-eat-dog incident soon spread.

As for Blake’s “death news”, it was also proven to be false on the radio.

"So far, we have contacted the Order of the Phoenix to confirm that Sirius is still alive. As for the latest news in the Daily Prophet, we believe it is a trick of the Death Eaters."

 That’s right!

 What does Blake have to do with him?

 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 people who are happy to watch dark wizards and Death Eaters fighting dogs.

As a result, this incident spread in the British wizarding world at a staggering speed.

 Almost no one discusses Blake's life and death, and everyone is more concerned about the shady story in the Ministry of Magic.

How dare the Ministry of Magic or the Death Eaters reduce the bounty to only 30%.

Of course, there are many dark wizards who take pleasure in this misfortune. Envy and jealousy are human nature.

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

This simply poked the dark wizard in the eye, and completely exploded the dark wizard's circle.

Everyone rejoices in schadenfreude, but killing people and silencing them is another matter.

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

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

Even though they had little credibility, after experiencing this incident, many dark wizards became wary of Death Eaters and the Ministry of Magic.

 Most of the original search team was disbanded in one fell swoop, leaving no one with a reason to continue following others' footsteps.

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

 As for who did it?

Of course it can’t all be the Order of the Phoenix.

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

No one knows whether there was anything wrong with the bounty money they received.

 Without this group of profit-driven dark wizards, the Death Eaters soon realized that something was not going well.

The number of Death Eaters is very limited after all, and many things have to be done by relying on the British dark wizards. But after they protested, many things could no longer continue.

After learning the news, Yaxley was so angry that he smashed up the 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. Although they He didn't have much reputation, but this stupid thing of opening his wounds and letting everyone laugh at him almost made his nose crooked with anger.

The worst thing is that the guy actually disappeared. This is simply saying that people from the Ministry of Magic sent people to kill him and silence him.

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

 The one who died was not a Death Eater anyway, so he would just kill him.

 Looking at the trash with frightened faces, Yaxley was quite satisfied with his deterrence.

On this day, the employees of the Ministry of Magic once again recalled the horror of being ruled by Voldemort.

However, as the culprit of all this, Sirius Black had no guilt at all, and even told the whole thing as a joke to everyone, completely ignoring the cruel fact that he was "dead".
