Chapter 563 Trying on Shoes

"In this case, it should be fine, right?"

In the corner of the Forbidden Forest, William carefully observed the surrounding environment, then placed bottles of potions prepared in advance, and took out the white essence and put them aside, looking extremely nervous.

Dumbledore on the side looked at William, then at the pile of potions, and for a moment he didn't know what expression to make on his face.

Yes, yes – William pulled Dumbledore out.

Although it was extremely tiring to demolish Gringotts first and then the Ministry of Magic, it was fully calculated. It was not William who secretly went out to run business, but was doing private work for the principal. Now, is it possible to pull Dumbledore out to do a small favor? Wrong?

It's so pitiful that all this work was done with one's head in mind - for all reasons, is it wrong to do such a small favor for the principal?

But Dumbledore standing over there obviously didn't think so.

Matters at the Ministry of Magic are still under investigation. William's identity as an investigator is also that of a soy sauce. The boxes obtained from the Ministry of Magic are still being safely cracked, and the research on Horcruxes is also being stored there. The new people who went to the United States handed back information, and the information provided by people in other regions...

Well, actually he still had to admit that this time, he did have a little bit of emotion...

Too much!

He now fully understood Professor Flitwick's feelings - why did Professor William suddenly obtain a Gryffindor relic?

Forget Gryffindor's relics, they are still treasures that can ignore the school's ban on Apparition!

You know, because of the antiquity and unity of the protection system, he couldn't understand some things in the castle - such as the secret room left by Slytherin. In order not to damage the castle's protection system, he could only find a way to crack it. The Parseltongue lock on the entrance was left instead of being forced down.

The prohibition of disembodiment is also part of the protection system - years of maintenance from generation to generation have finally made this magic permanent. Only the principal of Hogwarts can temporarily turn off the protection in a small area.

This is very useful. Although he cannot give others the right to apparate at will and can only handle it by himself, it makes the castle safer.

But...now this right...

All in all, although this is a good thing, it always makes people unhappy - although Professor William has proven his reliability countless times.

"I'm ready, you can start at any time."

"OK!"

William took a breath, carefully aimed at the destination as if he was apparating for the first time in his life, and then started apparating.

Almost instantly, he disappeared and then appeared in the target area.

When he opened his eyes and saw that he had obviously moved more than ten meters, William breathed a sigh of relief and gave a thumbs up to Dumbledore, who came from behind to ensure safety, indicating that he felt very good.

Then, he continued to carefully perform the second disapparation, and then the third time - this time he landed steadily more than one meter in front of Dumbledore, and then nodded happily.

"Perfect, Professor Dumbledore."

William moved his feet, "The blessing of apparation outside the castle was enough to surprise me, but inside the school it was so smooth that there was no need to pause!"

He had tested the pair of shoes he had obtained outside school many times before - outside school, they could effectively reduce some of the consumption and sequelae of apparation, which would reduce the feeling of being squeezed out.

But in the school, it is as if it has been upgraded to a new level, and the increase effect in various aspects has almost doubled!

"It's perfect, it's great - just be careful not to use it in front of students, so as not to mislead them."

"Of course, Professor," William nodded - such a good thing, of course it is hidden as a trump card!

"That's good," Dumbledore looked at the shoes on William's feet, "Gryffindor is indeed an amazing person, and the items he left behind are all exquisite magic props."

"Well, yes, although this pair is only a semi-finished product, it is still amazing - I checked it carefully for a long time, fearing that it was a Horcrux, but it turned out that it was not..."

"It's okay not to check - I know Tom and he's a proud enough man."

Horcruxes can be made from the relics of the four founders, of course there is no problem, but they can never be shoes - lockets, crowns, gold cups, etc. are all fine, but if shoes are made and then worn...

"Yeah, he's not the kind of person who just pretends to be something. The worst Horcrux is its own notebook." William shook his head, "Besides, I don't think Peeves would joke with the Dark Lord and then take him away." shoes."

Furthermore, to put it bluntly, unless the Dark Lord came with the intention of demolishing Hogwarts, it would not be easy for him to defeat Peeves.

Peeves' fighting power is still a mystery, but the most outstanding results show that it can suppress the entire school's professors and principals by one person, and even beat them until they compromise...

"Yes, Peeves - he has probably been hiding the shoes made by Gryffindor since the founding of Hogwarts, but you didn't find them until now."

"Yeah, so I feel weird too..."

William shook his head, "But thinking about the Ravenclaw diadem that Miss Helena entrusted to me, it all seems to make sense."

At first, he didn't accept the idea of ​​beating Peeves to explode equipment - Peeves wasn't a dungeon, and he could still drop it...

But thinking about its origins and its hobbies, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

He didn't want to talk anymore - this was Dumbledore's first feeling.

He was afraid that he couldn't help it and went out to find trouble for Peeves - God knows how many things Peeves had hidden in these thousand years!

However, if Peeves' prank really succeeds, the next battle against Voldemort will be...

"There is no other way. Let's see who the next lucky winner is - using the power of Hogwarts itself is really an amazing magic tool."

'Using the power of Hogwarts? ’

William suddenly remembered something - the Marauder's Map was still sealed over there...

‘No, we can’t give it to Dumbledore just yet. ’

‘Putting a map over the principal’s side that can monitor the whole school is too…’

'Keep the current monitoring status first. If the situation changes slightly, hand the map to Dumbledore immediately - when the danger comes, there will be no thought of hiding it...'

William and Dumbledore suddenly had their own thoughts in their minds, so they made excuses for each other, said goodbye and left.

——

"Aurors are working on cases, stop everyone!"

The Borgin-Bock store, which is known to have strong connections in daily life, suddenly broke into a group of wizards with wands, each with a vicious look.

The customers who were still happily shopping in the store decided to apparate without even thinking - everyone shopping here knew what they were buying, and the Aurors felt guilty about competing with each other.

But it was too late - the Auror was on full fire at this moment.

At noon, a group of people rushed into the Ministry of Magic, set fire to them, and even ransacked the office of the Minister of Magic. This loud slap really angered the Aurors.

During the Quidditch World Cup, the Aurors, led by Mr. Crouch, overturned their cars and gradually began to whitewash their Death Eaters, becoming famous.

Later, Umbridge, Deputy Minister of Justice, assisted MACUSA in capturing the former Headmaster of Ilvermorny, which made the Aurors wake up happily from their dreams - what better time than now?

Even when Voldemort was defeated, the Death Eaters kidnapped Aurors to slap him in the face. Things are no longer what they used to be. The Auror Office is booming!

However, in this situation, a loud slap in the face and a basin of cold water fell from the sky.

In the Azkaban attack, it can be said that the attackers did not do their job well, but how should we blame the Ministry of Magic for being invaded? Dump it to whom? Batter? Can they bear it? When did it become the beater's turn to line up in front of the Aurors?

It only took less than a day for the Aurors to lock down the source of the props used in the crime. Many people stayed up all night, searching for information all night before locking down the damn Borgin-Bock store.

"What are you doing? Mr. Rufus Scrimgeour and I are good friends!"

Mr. Borgin was not panicked at all - he was really someone. He secretly took out a small bag of gems and planned to deal with this group of Aurors.

However, the Auror who led the team waved his hand as if he didn't see the bag of gems at all.

"Never heard of it. There are so many people who want to be friends with Mr. Scrimgeour. Hold on!"

The Auror who led the team waved his hand - now there are no friends or no friends. It turns out that there is something wrong with this store. The deeds of making friends are all irrefutable evidence used to paralyze and corrupt the officials of the Ministry of Magic!

"Check, search the ledgers, inventory the goods, and investigate the identities of all guests!"

"yes!"

Mr. Borgin took a breath of air in despair - if others don't know, does he himself know whether he can be investigated?

"Report! A large amount of Polyjuice Potion found!"

"Report, several rare magical creatures have been found!"

"...Dark magic items!"

"…cursed prop!"

One product after another was announced, and the face of the Auror leading the team became increasingly grim. He pulled out his wand at an extremely fast speed, and when Mr. Borkin wasn't paying attention, he knocked him unconscious with a burst of magic.

"Take the truth serum!"

"The same goes for the rest of the guests. Check it for me and make sure you don't miss anyone!"

He must be nervous. All the items in the store were enough to lift the Ministry of Magic to the sky.

——

"What time has it been? Why do you care!"

"You actually gave me such a result?"

Scrimgeour was extremely angry at the moment - he finally found the target from the supplies, but the Auror who led the team checked for a long time and gave him the opposite conclusion?

That group of sneak attackers just bought those supplies from Borgin-Bock's store, was this their first time there?

Are you kidding? Is it because Bo Jin’s store has a great reputation?

For such a major event as the attack on the Ministry of Magic, shouldn't we first visit the location, confirm the plan, and then carefully prepare materials before implementing it?

Why did that group of people attack the Ministry of Magic at noon and come directly to Borgin's shop in the morning to buy the needed materials?

What a joke!

Either the Veritaserum found out the false news, or the other party didn't take the Ministry of Magic seriously and wanted to escape unscathed from the beginning!

"By the way, where are the payments? Don't tell me that guy Bo Jin transferred the money in one day and he didn't even know it!"

"In the vault, he put it in Gringotts. We need a special investigative order to force him to open it."

How long has it been since you still adhere to those rules and regulations!

Scrimgeour was a little angry. He picked up the investigation report in his hand and walked directly to Fudge's office - he didn't believe it anymore, Fudge could not approve this!

——

"So, this is what you got after a long time of investigation?"

In Moody's private office, Moody scanned it with his normal eyes and then put the documents on the table.

"There are more, but they are not allowed to be written on the paper."

The young Auror who came to inquire was a little scared, but also a little admired.

"That guy's Gringotts vault was opened. Of course, there are enough prohibited items to put him in Azkaban, but we didn't care about it. We just focused on tracking down the currency."

"After the introduction of the striker and other departments, we confirmed that it was galleons coming from the United States, and it was most likely not coming in through normal means, and it should be smuggled."

"What do you mean you should! Let Gringotts provide records and evidence!"

"Okay, Mr. Moody."

"Also," Mad-Eye nodded, "What about the casualties this time?"

"They are all minor injuries. Only the injury on the Auror who was tortured by being fed truth serum was more serious. He is still under observation and treatment in the hospital, but the problem is not serious."

"No casualties?"

Moody's voice rose a little, "Have they changed their gender?"

"I don't know, but Minister Fudge's office was stolen and something very important was lost - I don't know the details yet..."

"snort…"

Moody snorted.

"How did that group of people get in? The number of recent arrivals...is inappropriate. If the currency is smuggled, it is impossible for people to enter normally."

"In addition, leaving the country is also a very serious issue..."

"Also, you need to find out the traitor inside - it is impossible for normal people to confirm such clear information. I suspect there is a traitor!"

"The mole?"

"That's right - otherwise it would be difficult to explain..."

"However, we all go out to eat. Although we can dress up, our whereabouts are easily observed..."

“…”

Moody was unusually silent, "When was it?"

"After you retire..."

“…”

Moody felt like he was going to be pissed off - he originally wanted to take time off to help, but now he was afraid that he would quarrel with the current office director and affect efficiency.

"I still have very important courses to deal with, and I'm afraid I don't have time to get involved."

"I will invite Professor William for you. He is also an expert in this area - and he is not the same as us. Maybe he has some method..."

Moody held back his words of reproach and recommended the most suitable candidate he thought of.
