v3 Chapter 177： Burns Copy Knockturn Alley

The latest website: "Hermione, don't be angry!"

"Hermione, I also have difficulties. How can I shirk my work?"

"Hermione, look this is the Russian food I brought you, I assure you, it's delicious—"

Hermione finally raised her head, looked at the chattering Tom, and said angrily, "Everyone's tastes are different, how can you guarantee that I like the food you brought?"

"Try it and see." Tom took out the packed stainless steel lunch box as if offering a treasure.

Hermione looked at the plain stainless steel lunch box in Tom's hand and shook her head. She didn't think there was anything delicious in it. But after all, it was brought back by Tom, and she really didn't eat much at noon, so she decided to give Tom a face and try it a little.

She opened the lunch box and found that the lunch box was divided into upper and lower layers by a baffle plate, and the upper layer was divided into two small partitions, one partition was for bread, the other partition was cut into small pieces of barbecue, and the lower layer was a serving Looks like a soup like leftover chowder.

The appearance is average, but the aroma wafts out after heating it up a bit. Hermione tasted it and found that it tasted unexpectedly good. The sour taste was very appetizing, and she ate a whole box of food in one go.

"It tastes good." Perhaps because of the delicious food, Hermione's mood improved a lot.

She put away the lunch box and wiped her mouth with a tissue. When she was in order, she pushed a roll of parchment to Tom. "You take time to look at this part of my paper and see if there is any room for improvement."

Tom smiled and took the paper Hermione had just written in his hand and read it.

The parchment used for writing the thesis was slightly yellow, and it was covered with Hermione's graceful handwriting, which seemed to have the body temperature of a girl. The soft winter sun shone through the window and cast a golden glow on the table. Hermione sat opposite Tom, and the afternoon time and the sumptuous meal made the girl a little lazy. She was lying on the seat slightly lazily, holding a book in her hand. But her mind was clearly not in the book. From time to time, she would raise her head to peek at the boy opposite, and then her cheeks were slightly red, and she quickly looked away. But after the redness on her face subsided, she couldn't help but glance at the boy who was reading the paper seriously.

The good times passed bit by bit, and 1994 came.

As the new year approaches, there are several big things happening in the magical and non-magical worlds. Needless to say in the non-magical world, the Prime Minister's election is the biggest news.

As for the wizarding world, the newly appointed Minister Burns issued the most severe arrest warrant for Peter Pettigrew, a wretched wizard wanted by the Ministry of Magic with a reward of 30,000 Galleons, regardless of life or death. And she also allows the Auror who is hunting Peter to use the Unforgivable Curse, and the Dementor who sees Peter can also directly use the Dementor's Kiss.

In addition to the wanted order, the Ministry of Magic has also announced two major events. The first is that preparations for the new Quidditch World Cup have officially begun, and the second is that Minister Burns will launch an event code-named "Whirlwind". ”, with the intention of completely removing the black magic items in Knockturn Alley—the secrecy of this operation was done quite well. Without any warning, Burns summoned all the Aurors and strikers, and directly raided Knover. Back alleys, the action did not leak a trace of wind from beginning to end.

Tom also got involved in this action. But his involvement was purely coincidental.

It was the day before the Cyclone was launched. That day, Burns personally took her cronies to Azkaban, hoping to get some dementors to help her control the dark wizards in Knockturn Alley.

Burns isn't the first Minister of Magic to crack down on Knockturn Alley. Before her, the Ministry of Magic had inspected Knockturn Alley several times, the most recent of which was planned by Cornelius Fudge. But these inspections have had little success.

Bones was well aware of the reasons for little success: Knockturn Alley had a deep collusion with some officials of the Ministry of Magic, especially the pure-blood families. Almost all the shops in Knockturn Alley stand behind a pure-blooded family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. With such an intricate relationship sheltered, it would be **** if the search could be effective.

Borns is ambitious, she wants to really clear up a few cancers, instead of just catching a few hawkers like her predecessors. In fact, every Minister of Magic has a unique ambition buried deep in his heart, and even a guy like Fudge is no exception. The search he held was led by Arthur Weasley.

This decision worked surprisingly well. Fudge successfully took advantage of the conflict between the Weasley family and the Malfoy family and gave Lucius an eye drop. Under Arthur's aggressive offensive, Lucius had no choice but to go to Knockturn Alley to deal with the black magic items in his home.

Minister Burns had his mind on the Dementors this time.

Introducing external forces is often a shortcut to solving problems. Purebloods have no connection with dark creatures like Dementors. Even better, the Dementors and the Ministry of Magic have a similar stance - the prisoners caught are going to be thrown into Azkaban, which is good news for the Dementors.

Burns personally rushes to Azkaban to negotiate with the Dementors. Coincidentally, Tom was also in Azkaban at the time. He wants to send a group of dementors to his white dolphin prison.

It was something he had promised before.

When I heard that the king was going to take them to Paradise, all the dementors were boiling, and they gathered around the king. I beseech the king to take them to the land of paradise, not to leave them in the bitter cold of Azkaban.

Whether on patrol or not Dementors run to meet their king. So when Burns entered Azkaban, she was surprised to find that the dementors that used to linger outside Azkaban's castle were gone. The entire Azkaban seemed empty, as if it had become an undefended area.

She secretly raised her guard, her wand tightly squeezed in her hand under her robe. Tensioning her nerves, she walked through the main entrance of Azkaban and walked into the castle.

Dementors are not hard to find, and it's a good idea to follow the direction of lower temperature. Burns soon found the dementors of Azkaban. But as she got closer, she saw a scene she would never forget: a man with a crown of bones surrounded by Dementors.

The dementors surged like a tide, and the masked man stood there like a reef in the tide, standing still. And those dementors didn't mean to hurt him, they were like lowly courtiers, surrendering in front of the king.
