Sean, who was as far away as Nurmengard, got the news that night.

His father, Alan Wallup, was a victim of a magical beast hazard accident, and luckily, the second parasitic mouth monster was caught after only half a day in Alan's body , no horrific accident - except that the steaks were all cold that night.

A wizard named Geller Jennings also apologised to Sean in a message that came back when the first Parasitic Mouth was discovered and reported to the Ministry, but the second one was hidden. He didn't notice when it only parasitized into Ellen's body.

Sean didn't accuse him of this. He also knew about Parasitic Mouth. This magical animal, which is native to southern France, is indeed difficult to be found in the hidden parasitic link.

I heard that the Ministry of Magic is worried that there will be a third or fourth animal. The Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures, the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, and the Department of International Magical Cooperation have dispatched a large number of wizards to deal with this situation.

Of course, this is not something Sean needs to care about now. He needs to figure out whether this accident involved his father was an accident or someone was deliberately targeting...

The dangerous and magical creatures specializing in France are too clear-cut, and everyone will suspect Fabien Aiken at the first time.

"Sean, your letter." The next day, Hermione, who entered the classroom from outside, handed a letter.

"Thank you." Sean quickly opened the letter and checked it.

Father Allen received a more detailed examination, and his body has fully recovered. Their family, including the maid, driver and others, have also been examined, and no parasitic situation has occurred.

Sean was a little relieved and continued to check the next content.

He wrote back and asked his father to record the itinerary of the last few days and the details of the first parasite Bertrand Barnes, hoping to deduce some useful information from it.

Hermione leaned beside him and read the letter together, and when they read all the information, they both frowned.

"From the information point of view, that Mr. Barnes is just an innocent victim, and he and Mr. Wallup have no intersection in the past, and the choice of your hospital is only because of his medical insurance and yours. The hospital cooperates and can reimburse part of the bill."

Sean nodded: "My father's visit to the hospital is a routine project every month. It should be easy to investigate but the time is not fixed... If it is for my family, the initiator can't control Mr. Barnes's going to the hospital. Just in time to meet my father."

Hermione spread her hands: "The most important thing is that if you want to deal with your family, there is no need for a wizard to choose such a roundabout way. Even for concealment, there is nothing special about Mr. Barnes, the murderer can do it. Choose your father's co-worker or someone else close to you."

Sean thought for a moment, held his chin and said, "It seems like it's really just an accident... But what is the purpose of the culprit smuggling it into the parasite? This thing will break open after absorbing enough energy. The human belly seeks a hidden place to reproduce, this kind of accident can easily attract the attention of the Ministry of Magic, although it is very troublesome, it can still be dealt with..."

"Maybe it's to disrupt the situation, maybe the outflow of the Parasitic Mouth is an accident, for example, it was smuggled in and accidentally ran away..." Hermione analyzed various possibilities beside her.

"In order to disrupt the current situation, the Parasitic Mouth is not strong enough... Chimera and Fire Dragon may be able to perform better... It is indeed possible to smuggle illegal magical animals, but the value of the Parasitic Mouth is not high. It's a bit strange..." Sean always felt that something was not right.

Talking with Hermione for a while came up with nothing, and Sean always had a strange premonition.

Has it been a little too much recently...

A bit uneasy, Sean sent a signal through the Dark Mark to hold another party this weekend to see if he could get some useful information from the Death Eaters.

However, the next day he saw an article in the newspaper.

"Herbert Bock, head of the Ministry of Magic - Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures - Committee on the Disposal of Dangerous Animals, has been arrested. It is reported that Herbert Bock took on a disgraceful task in the parasitic mouth monster accident in London. , and was found to have used his position several times over the past two decades to violate the law..."

The cover of The Wizarding World shows a hazy, wrinkled middle-aged man controlled by two Aurors.

Sean's brows furrowed.

This Herbert Bock, he knows, comes from the Bock family in the pure-blood family, and is related to the boss of Borgin Bock. He inherited the name of his grandfather, and the old Herbert Bock is Phineas Blake's son-in-law.

In several subsequent contacts with Bella, Bella told Sean that Herbert Bock was one of the members who could be won, and the other party was also a pure-blood, and his identity as the chairman of the Committee on Handling Dangerous Animals could also be used for Death Eaters help.

But the other party is smooth and cautious, and it takes slow contact to develop him into a Death Eater.

This man was arrested...

The news didn't detail Herbert Bock's specific violations, but at the end mentioned that the other party's actions may have required years of time in Azkaban.

That doesn't make sense... Sean muttered.

The British Ministry of Magic is actually quite corrupt, and members of pure blood families often have considerable power and wealth. According to Bella's description of his character, this Herbert Bock is absolutely willing to use Galleon to buy the Ministry of Magic, even if You won't be able to keep your job, but at least you won't have to go to Azkaban.

The Ministry of Magic is now so resolute and upright... Not to mention that Fudge is facing layoffs, and the pure blood family is the target he desperately needs to win...

However, the development of events is more strange than Sean expected.

In the following days, newspapers began to report on the illegal activities of wizards in various countries, and the whole of Europe was involved.

A member of a Bulgarian pure-blood family has been jailed after an investigation into an old case of an attack on a Muggle many years ago.

The head of the International Magical Cooperation Department of the Italian Ministry of Magic was dismissed due to negligence in his position. He is the head of a pure-blood family in Italy.

It was exposed that an ancient Greek family illegally brewed illegal potions many years ago, and the Greek Ministry of Magic arrested more than a dozen family members at once.

News of this sort followed one after another, and wizards were arrested almost every day, and all of them, without exception, came from pure-blood families.

For a time, half-blood wizards and wizards from Muggle families in various countries were excited. In their view, this was a precursor to the reform of the wizarding world-you must know that before, those pure-blood wizards would not suffer much punishment even if they violated the law. , in most cases just fine.

And those upright, iron-blooded law enforcement wizards also began to appear in the newspapers, Bulgaria's Sayaf Badley, Italy's Lindsay Bizarre, Greece's Yasmin Karajanis...

These people have become heroes in the eyes of ordinary wizards, and their voices have been wave after wave, mostly hoping that these people will obtain more powerful positions in order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of law enforcement.

Looking at it this way, it is indeed something worthy of encouragement. In today's wizarding world, pure-blooded people have too much power to speak, and the arrest of those wizards who rely on their power to do all kinds of bad things does represent a good start.

However, Sean always felt that these things were not quite right, and the spokespersons of the Ministry of Magic of various countries rarely expressed their views on such incidents, most of which were perfunctory official speeches.

The students in the school didn't think about it so much, and the mixed-race students, who accounted for most of them, were excited about this. Once the situation where pure-bloods control the right to speak is broken, they can get more respect and fairness after graduation in the future. .

For a time, because of these news, the atmosphere in Nurmengard was extremely warm.

...

On the weekend night, outside Malfoy Manor, Grindelwald put Sean down again.

"Sir," Sean didn't go immediately, but looked at the old man beside him who had begun to disappear, "Have you read the latest news?"

The fading of Grindelwald's figure stopped, and he blinked at Sean: "Doesn't feel right?"

"Yes, sir, too often, and the pureblood family has no rebound?"

"Of course there is a backlash, but an official institution like the Ministry of Magic, no matter how corrupt and shameless they are, the work on the scene must be done well."

"You mean that the arrested lawbreakers can't revise their confessions?" Sean asked with a frown.

"That's right, things have been put under the sun. If those people are not caught, the public's voice will be enough to make the Minister of Magic be fired."

"What about the other pure-blooded families, most of them are a community of interests, don't do anything at this time, won't it be their turn?"

Grindelwald smiled instead: "Their interests conflict with yours, shouldn't you be happy, Sean?"

"They really should be arrested," Sean spread his hands, "but there is obviously a bigger shadow behind, and the impact is likely to expand at that time, and the current situation in the wizarding world is not just to arrest one or two illegal pure-blood wizards. To be solved, this situation will inevitably require long-term reforms, and going too hastily will make things worse, right?"

"I'm glad you can realize this, you have at least learned to think maturely - but, I have to say..." Grindelwald spread his hands following his actions, "Although I am strong, I Not a god, there is no way to consider the cause and effect of each event, and this kind of thing often takes a lot of time to investigate to get the truth, just like what you are going to do in that room later.”

"Indeed, I seem to be in a hurry, and things only show some clues." Sean laughed dumbly.

"The wheel of history is slowly rolling, Sean, learn to be the one who controls the direction of the wheel." Grindelwald smiled and disappeared.

The person who controls the direction... Sean muttered to himself.

He smiled and shrugged, then walked to Malfoy Manor.

When he walked to the door, Sean's expression became gloomy and indifferent again. He waved his sleeves and turned into black smoke and flew into the living room.

In the living room, the Death Eaters were already sitting upright, and they were discussing recent events with their companions in a low voice. When the smoke rushed into the living room, everyone closed their mouths and lowered their heads slightly.

Black smoke rushed to the first seat, and then turned into Sean's original appearance.

"It's on time today...my friends." Sean smiled and stretched out his hands.

The Death Eaters put their hands on their chests and lowered their heads: "Follow your call, my esteemed Dark Lord."

"Let's be casual, don't be so nervous—"

Several of the Death Eaters swallowed. Antonin Dolokhov, who had been reduced to ashes at the last meeting, was still vivid in their minds. They dared not say that they fully understood the terrible man sitting in the first place, but one thing was very important. Clearly - if the Dark Lord is unhappy, someone on the scene is bound to be unlucky.

Looking at the trembling and frightened crowd, Sean smiled slightly and didn't say more. He stroked the head of the bird snake comfortably, and said slowly, "Talk about the recent things."

"Yes." Everyone nodded, Bella stood up first.

She's been feeling great lately, the great master is back, and he's trusting herself more and more—in those private contacts, she can even hear the intimacy of the other person calling her name.

Isn't this feeling what she dreams of?

Bella bowed respectfully, she was dressed very grandly today, and when she bent over, Sean could see the sparkling gems embellished on the other party's hemp top hat.

"Master, what you ordered me to do has been going smoothly, but the person I mentioned to you last time?" She showed a questioning look.

Sean knew that the other party was talking about Herbert Burke, and he nodded for the other party to continue.

"Bock has been arrested, and progress to include him as our member has been interrupted."

"Well, talk about the charge he was arrested for."

"Barty should know more."

Sean looked at Barty Jr.: "My friend ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ it's up to you."

"Yes, Master." Little Barty glanced at Bella gratefully, excited for the opportunity to perform.

Bella smiled slightly. There was not much expression on her gorgeous face. She had already gained the master's complete trust. It was not a bad idea to give this opportunity to another Death Eater who was also loyal to her master.

Barty Jr said quickly: "Bok was arrested and I was not present, but I knew all the circumstances at the time. The Aurors discovered something strange about the physical magic of the Parasitic Mouth when they investigated - this creature is parasitic every time. After a person will leave that person's mark, and Bock hurriedly wanted to take the animal away for disposal, which aroused the suspicion of the Auror, and finally found that the parasitic mouth monster was parasitic in Boke's body and was brought into London. ."

"During the period when Boke was under investigation, there were consecutive reports of illegal acts during his tenure. There were so many people in the interrogation room at the time that even if Boke wanted to buy back his freedom with Galleon, Fudge couldn't help."

"Who is the whistleblower?"

"There are Aurors who have received the report information. It is anonymous, but it is true."
