Chapter 589: The Ministry of Magic's New Policy, Remus Lupin Comes to the Door (1/2)

Chapter 589 The Ministry of Magic's new policy, Remus Lupin came to the door

Diagon Alley.

Aaron silently put away the gold Galleons used to communicate with Hermione, and then looked helplessly at Sirius and Moody who were staring at him, "One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Good news." Moody said without hesitation.

"No." Sirius waved his hand, "It's better to hear the bad news first."

"Smart." Aaron gave a thumbs up, "But let's hear the good news first! There is a clue to Slytherin's locket."

"Where is it?" Moody asked.

"That's the bad news, the locket is in Mundungus's hands."

Sirius and Moody looked at each other, "This shouldn't be considered bad news! At least it's in the hands of a member of the Order of the Phoenix."

"I do look down on Mundungus, but he will definitely not give the Horcrux to the Death Eaters." Moody said a little unhappy, "Not to mention he doesn't even know it's a Horcrux."

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Aaron clapped his hands, "Seeing you are so optimistic, I can't bear to discourage you."

"You two, according to normal logic, your ideas are correct.

But it has been a year since Mundungus got the Horcrux, and unfortunately, I saw him selling the Black family's items outside last year."

"That means..." Moody's magic eye turned twice, and the scar on his face became more hideous, "The bastard Mundungus may have sold the Horcrux?"

"Nine out of ten, and I think he may sell it at a bargain price."

"Is it a matter of price?" Sirius didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"It is somewhat related." Aaron curled his lips and said, "If he knows the goods, the Horcrux may be bought by a famous wizard, so that he will have a deeper impression on the buyer.

But if he doesn't know the goods... an ordinary buyer buys an ordinary product at an ordinary price. After a year, can you still remember what the buyer looks like?"

Sirius:......

"Doesn't that mean the clue is broken again?"

"It depends on luck! Find Mundungus first."

......

August passed day by day.

The "change of dynasty" in the Ministry of Magic did not seem to have much impact. The coup was unusually smooth.

Scrimgeour was indeed dead, but the official statement was that he resigned due to illness. Pius Thicknesse inherited the position of Minister of Magic with the support of most members.

For a period of time afterwards, the Ministry of Magic changed a series of policies, and the most targeted ones were arranged.

First, check the descendants of Muggles. Starting from the Ministry of Magic, wizards need to register their identities. Pure-bloods can rest assured, and half-bloods are safe and sound, but Muggle-born wizards need to be investigated at any time, whether they are willing or not.

As for the results of the investigation...

If you are lucky and have a stronger relationship, you may be able to leave the Ministry of Magic, but this does not mean safety, because the Ministry of Magic has left a file and will find you again at any time.

But if you are unlucky, have no relationship, and have no background, it may be a prison disaster. If you have any personal grudges with the investigators, it can only be said that you have won the jackpot. The Dementors will be very excited to absorb fresh souls.

Because of this policy, many Muggle-born wizards have urgently revised their family trees. It is an unchangeable fact that their parents are Muggles, but if their ancestors have some relationship with wizards, they can also be regarded as having wizard blood. At least they can make some explanations when they are caught and investigated.

Second, all young wizards must go to Hogwarts to study, which is mandatory.

Wizards should also start from children. This policy can facilitate the surveillance of underage wizards in the British magic world.

Every student must hold a bloodline certificate, and only those with wizard bloodline certified by the Ministry of Magic can be admitted. This is also a disguised way of eliminating Muggle-born wizards.

"It's outrageous and insane." Sirius slapped the Daily Prophet on the table, "Such a policy can actually be issued, and a considerable number of wizards will be persecuted."

"Voldemort wanted to do this a long time ago, and now it seems that he has finally succeeded." Aaron said lightly, "Secretly controlling a puppet minister, not standing in front of the stage, this move is very smart.

Giving the Death Eaters an official identity, even if someone suspects that Voldemort is behind the scenes, there will be no evidence."

"If he directly usurped the throne and became the minister, there will definitely be many wizards who united to resist him." Moody said solemnly, "But he hid behind the scenes, even if they wanted to resist, they couldn't find a direction."

"As long as you control the real power, it doesn't matter whether you are the minister or not.

Controlling the Ministry of Magic to issue policies and dividing the status of wizards according to bloodline is only the first step of Voldemort's plan.

The second step is to extend the sphere of influence, extend the tentacles of the Death Eaters to countries outside the UK, and then rule the entire wizarding world.

The third step is bloody massacre to build a world without Muggles.

The fourth step is the last step, to push oneself to the altar, to become the belief of wizards like Merlin, so as to achieve the goal of becoming a god. "

"How do you know so clearly?" Moody frowned.

"I have dealt with him much more than you think." Aaron said with emotion, "It is true that longevity can be achieved by relying solely on Horcruxes, but this kind of longevity has hidden dangers.

But after becoming a god, life will undergo a transformation, the deformed longevity will be corrected, and he will truly gain a long life without side effects. "

"He has high aspirations." Moody snorted, "He will never succeed."

"But he can withstand failure." Aaron disagreed, "Before all the Horcruxes were destroyed, he had countless trial and error opportunities.

He failed more than a decade ago, but more than a decade later he successfully took the first step, and the Phoenix Order, which could most stop him, lost its soul.

To put it bluntly, even if he uses his life to survive, he can outlast all those who hinder him. "

"We still have Harry! "Sirius said unwillingly.

"The prophecy only said that one of them must die at the hands of the other. In other words, Harry Potter has only a 50% chance of success."

"Can you not encourage others and destroy your own prestige?" Sirius gritted his teeth, "It's a bit pessimistic!"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just talking about the facts." Aaron spread his hands and said, "In a sense, Harry Potter still has plenty of time. Just kill him before Voldemort completes the fourth step.

Because after the fourth step, the status of a god will affect the prophecy, and it will no longer be accurate."

"Don't talk about the fourth step. I don't know how many people will die after he completes the first step." Moody said heavily, "No news about Mundungus yet?"

"No." Aaron shook his head, "Hermione has contacted me many times these days, Mundungus has not been found yet, and Grimmauld Place is also monitored by Death Eaters like the homes of members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Fortunately, they went there early, thinking that no one was in the house. If they had stayed there for two days, they would have been in danger. "

"Are they being watched?" Sirius's face changed slightly, "They are in a very dangerous situation, let them move immediately."

"No, at least until we find Mundungus." Aaron said melancholy, "The more you do, the more mistakes you make. Relatively speaking, the risk of staying where you are may be smaller."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A knock on the door suddenly sounded, followed by Lupin's voice outside, "Is anyone there?"

"No one." Aaron said unhappily, winking at Moody and Sirius.

The two looked at each other, one turned into a skinny kitten, squatting in the corner to lick the plate very tactfully, and the other pointed the wand at himself, wrapped in bandages with dried blood, limped to the bed in the bedroom, and closed the door tightly.

"I know you are in there, I have something important to discuss with you. "

"How many people came?"

"Only me."

Aaron raised his eyebrows and snapped his fingers, and the barrier on the door disappeared.

Lupin looked around with a guilty conscience, and then walked into Aaron's shop.

"Professor Lupin, you dare to appear on the street now, you are really not afraid of being caught by the Death Eaters!"

"I got rid of the people who were watching before I came.

Besides, Voldemort wants to win over the werewolf race, and the laws against werewolves are more relaxed than before." Lupin smiled self-deprecatingly, "But this is only temporary. When he gets rid of the wizarding forces, the werewolves who don't submit to him can't escape the reckoning."

"Still sober." Aaron calmly poured himself a cup of tea, "But you really shouldn't come to me. I wasn't under surveillance here, and it's hard to say after you come."

"I...sorry." Lupin lowered his head.

"Forget it. "Aaron waved his hand, "With the contract restraining me, even if the Death Eaters come, they dare not embarrass me.

Tell me! What do you want to talk to me about?"

Lupin hesitated for a while, and pulled out a copy of the Daily Prophet from his sleeve, "The Ministry of Magic issued it today."

"Wanted order?" Aaron looked at the photo of Harry Potter in the newspaper with interest, "Wanted - the cause of death of Albus Dumbledore.

Interesting, it's really interesting, he can be worth 10,000 Galleons, which is almost my three-year turnover. "

"The reward amount is not the point, the point is Harry's situation, understand?" Lupin said anxiously, "The Ministry of Magic has linked him to the cause of Dumbledore's death, which will make many people who defend and support him suspicious. "

"So, does this have anything to do with me? "

Lupin was stunned for a moment, caught off guard by this sentence.

But when he thought of Aaron's relationship with the Order of the Phoenix and his previous contract with Voldemort, he was speechless.

"Well... I want to help him."

"Then go!"

"But Harry will definitely not agree if you go directly." Lupin said bitterly, "At this time, what he fears most is not Voldemort, but the people around him."

"Hmph!" Aaron said disdainfully, "You do know him."

Ron and Hermione were friends who had fought side by side with Harry for several years. They knew each other well and had a deep friendship. He couldn't refuse, and he couldn't refuse.

But Lupin was his elder, and he had just married Nymphadora Tonks not long ago. He had already implicated Sirius. If he implicated Lupin again, he might not have the face to face Tonks in the future.

"So I came to you." Lupin said awkwardly but politely, "He should listen to you."

"Sorry, you may have overestimated me." Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly. He was not Dumbledore and didn't have that much face.

"No, listen to me first.

You showed me Dumbledore's memory. In other words, I know secrets that Harry and the others don't know, although I can't tell them.

I don't know what mission Dumbledore left for Harry, but as long as you can testify for me that I can help them, then..."

Puff!

Aaron spit out a mouthful of tea, then looked at Lupin's haggard face in surprise, "Is this still the honest man I know? When did you become so shameless?"

"Whatever you say!" Lupin said with a red face. He had already risked his face by coming here this time.

"The door is over there." Aaron pointed to the door, then made a gesture to invite him.

"Do you agree?"

"Haha! Professor Lupin, you can be shameless, but I have dignity." Aaron said with disdain, "Abe, show me out."

"Roar!"

The white holy dragon immediately roared, looking harmless and even a little fierce, but it made Lupin shiver uncontrollably.

"Wait." Lupin stood up immediately, "In addition to protecting Harry, I will also help protect Hermione."

"Huh?" Aaron raised his eyebrows and asked Abe to stop grinning.

"If this is a bargaining chip, I don't seem to lose."

"Of course you don't lose." Lupin breathed a sigh of relief.

"But it's not enough, because once you join Harry's team, you will take on this responsibility."

"What?" Lupin thought there was something wrong with his ears. After a moment of silence, he said, "I can protect Hermione first, that's fine!"

"That's fine, but it still doesn't work."

"Why?"

"That's up to you, Professor." Aaron stared at him calmly, with a hint of teasing at the corners of his mouth, "Professor, I personally think you are very reliable.

Your personality determines that you won't let them take risks easily. Rich experience can help them avoid some detours, and relatively strong strength can help them solve a lot of troubles, but..."

Lupin's heart skipped a beat, "But what?"

"Professor, your current state and mentality make me feel uneasy.

Anxious, helpless, uneasy, anxious, and worried, but you still have to pretend to be relaxed, just like Sirius when he was in Grimmauld Place, even worse than him!"

Sirius:......

I'm still here! Don't I want to save face?

"Now that the Death Eaters are so powerful, I am normal!" Lupin said unnaturally.

"No, that's not right. You can't fool me. You must be hiding something from me.

If you don't make it clear, I won't help you. Your uncertainty will add extra risks to them."

After the voice fell, the atmosphere in the room became quiet.

Ten seconds later, Lupin took a deep breath, silently raised his head to look at the ceiling, and said deeply but helplessly: "Tonks is pregnant."

"Ah?" Aaron blinked blankly, "Uh... Congratulations, but what does this have to do with them?"
