Chapter 493: Vampires Wanted

When they parted from the crowd at the Ministry of Magic, Ivan immediately said, "That guy named Scrimgeour looks very dangerous, doesn't he?"

He could sense that most wizards were surprised after showing great magic.

Only Rufus Scrimgeour wanted to explore the source of his magic. Barty Crouch probably wanted to do the same, but now he was too busy with Winky and his son's business to concentrate on Ivan.

These two guys seemed to be exceptionally cunning, so he had to be careful when he came into contact with them later.

"Scrimgeour has always been like that. He's a veteran Auror!" Sirius said, "After Alastor Moody retired, he was the only one left of the old Aurors. He has a lot of prestige in the Ministry of Magic."

"What about the other old Aurors?" Harry asked.

"They either quit, died, or went mad. Being an Auror is a very dangerous profession, very few people can stick with it to the end!" Sirius replied, "Only the best Aurors can protect themselves while dealing with Dark Wizards. You know, there are many times when danger doesn't necessarily come from the enemy. Aurors like Scrimgeour are very rare."

"Aurors are always suspicious, as if they presume everyone is a Dark wizard!" Mr. Weasley agreed.

"Anyone who works in that position for long enough will become like that. They've seen too much scheming." Sirius paused and continued, "It doesn't hurt to know who can be trusted and who can't."

He seemed to be thinking about the death of Peter Pettigrew and Harry's parents again and blaming himself for his past naivety.

"Yes, but everyone is still afraid of anything to do with Aurors." Mr. Weasley followed him and said, "Let me just say that Scrimgeour chose Crouch as his opponent this time, but it was a big mistake. Crouch is not the sort of person who would be easily frightened."

"Look at his attitude towards that house elf. He can give up anything that affects his reputation at any time." Sirius said dismissively, "Barty Crouch is far more cunning and dangerous than Scrimgeour."

"But Winky didn't make any mistakes!" Hermione said immediately. "What's going to happen to her?"

"They have no proof and she'll eventually be released!" Sirius said, "But she'll definitely be expelled by Barty Crouch. I hope the excitement doesn't kill her. "

"That's unfair. Mr. Crouch can't treat her like that!" said Hermione angrily. "He knows she didn't do it and he's still going to fire her! He didn't care how scared she was, or how upset she was... He doesn't treat her like a human being at all!"

"Well, she's not human." Ron interjected.

Hearing this sentence, Hermione immediately turned to attack him. "That doesn't mean she doesn't have feelings, Ron. It's disgusting that they would do that, and you should..... "

"Well, Hermione, I agree with you, but now is not the time to discuss elven rights!" Mr. Weasley said quickly. "You'd better get back to the store. Sirius and I will take care of the rest. "

A few minutes later, they ran into obstacles as they exited the stadium.

Although Ministry of Magic officials were trying to evacuate the flow of people, there were still many witches and wizards gathered there who refused to disperse.

They looked frightened. When they saw someone come out from inside, they stepped forward.

Ivan hid behind Sirius and did not want to be recognized. But this concern was superfluous and the wizards did not recognize Ivan.

They only protested and asked the Ministry of Magic to make a statement.

What happened tonight was an extremely serious evil. Many witches and wizards gathered to ask the Ministry of Magic to announce the truth of the incident and to arrest and punish the murderer as soon as possible.

In addition, they also wanted to know who had conjured the dark mark!

"What's going on in there?"

"Who conjured the mark?"

"Was it him? did he plan tonight's attack?"

"He's back?"

"Of course it's not him!" Mr. Weasley couldn't help but say, "We don't know who it was; the Dark Wizard has fled. All right, please stand back, please; I want to go to bed!"

They went through the crowd and returned to the camp, which was quiet and terrible.

All the tents were dark and the pleasant atmosphere of the day was missing.

Everyone hid in their tents and dared not make a sound. Outside, Ministry of Magic officials were patrolling everywhere.

"Dad, what's going on?" Charlie came out of the tent.

Because of the Auror blockade, he, Bill and Percy had not entered the core area.

"Nothing, we're going to investigate!" said Mr. Weasley, "Alright, children! Come on in everyone, I've got to go and have a look. With what happened, there must be a shortage of staff at the Ministry. People are needed everywhere to keep order. I've got to help. "

After asking Sirius to take care of everyone, he turned around and went back into the darkness.

They all sat around the small kitchen table, looking shocked and ill at ease.

Bill had a bandage on his arm, which was bleeding profusely.

Charlie had a large rip in his shirt, and Percy had a bloody nose.

These were all marks left by their fights with the dark wizards and vampires who took advantage of the fire of the moment.

Ivan discovered that Sirius was also badly wounded and his body was covered in blood, but fortunately, his wounds were superficial.

From his cloth bag, he quickly took out a white potion, which he had prepared himself.

This potion had a good healing effect on the wounds he fell on and was suitable for use at the moment.

"Thank you!" said Sirius, "This is exactly what I need."

He took it and sprinkled it on the wounds on his arms, and it healed quickly.

"Who are the Dark Wizards that attacked tonight?" Charlie asked. "Are they You-Know-Who's men?"

"They're vampires. Sirius and I had contact with them in the Albanian woods!" said Ivan. "They're all very evil dark wizards, real outlaws, and to some extent, even more terrible than the Death Eaters. The existence of vampires is a taboo in itself, which made them live on the edge of the world. "

Except for Sirius, Harry, Ron and Hermione, the rest of the people looked at Ivan with surprise.

No one thought that the Dark Wizards who attacked tonight would be vampires, which was simply unbelievable.

"No wonder the magic they use is very strange. I just had a fight with a masked one!" Bill said, "Some of their magic is similar to that of the ancient Egyptian magicians.... We have found similar records in several sacrificial tombs. All that ancient magic is based on blood."

Despite the rush and heavy losses, the Ministry of Magic might still manage to catch some vampires.

After a night of interrogation, it was rational that before tomorrow, Caresius and his people would be wanted.

In the wizarding world, some things are not as simple as gritting your teeth and insisting on saying nothing; a powerful wizard can get whatever he wants from a person's soul if he so desires....
