This was a significant incident in Knockturn Alley. The explosion in Knockturn Alley could even be heard in Diagon Alley. The loud blast woke the residents of Diagon Alley.

As soon as the Auror Office received the message from the Tonks's patronus, groups of Aurors and Hit-wizards rushed towards Knockturn Alley like frightened mules.

The Aurors knew that Knockturn Alley was very chaotic. Due to the lack of management, the Ministry of Magic has always acquiesced in the existence of Knockturn Alley.

But the Ministry of Magic never expected the dark wizards living in Knockturn Alley to secretly organize such a vast force and cause a large-scale dark wizard riot.

Alastor Moody led a large group of Aurors toward Knockturn Alley. Although Moody had already retired, the Division of Magical Law Enforcement invited Moody to come out again after receiving the news—this was a complex emergency.

Rufus Scrimgeour and Kingsley Shacklebolt followed with their respective strikers and Aurors, and this time, the Ministry of Magic dispatched almost all of its armed forces.

Alastor Moody was already an Auror during the Second Wizarding War, defeating numerous notorious dark wizards in battle and capturing Death Eaters capable of filling half of Azkaban's cells.

During the first wizarding war, Moody lost his leg and replaced it with a wooden one; he also lost an eye and replaced it with a magic eye that can rotate 360 ​​degrees.

By the time Moody retired, he was already considered the best Auror of his day.

Alastor Moody's prosthetic legs did not affect his speed, and his wooden leg rhythmically hit the hard stone ground as he ran.

And his artificial eyes were staring at the thick plume of smoke rising in Knockturn Alley. With years of rich experience, he had a hunch that something severe had happened in Knockturn Alley.

Due to the influx of Aurors and strikers in Knockturn Alley, some dark wizards saw so many Aurors and subconsciously thought it was their incident and either ran away or started to fight back.

These two behaviors touched the tense nerves of the Aurors, and the Aurors fired spells without warning.

Several spells hit the poor dark wizards and flew straight away, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Moody needed more time to pay attention to these little things. He led the Aurors of the brigade to the place where the incident happened.

Along the way, the Auror team had a few minor encounters with the fleeing Mirror Church dark wizards.

At this time, the small building had already been devoured by the demonic fire from Mary. Fortunately, even though Ethan released a counter-curse, the fierce fire was extinguished.

When Moody arrived, all that was left was the burnt rubble of the small building, billowing thick smoke.

Moody's magic eye turned around to observe the situation around him. When he found Ethan standing in the field holding a long sword, the magic eye immediately settled on Ethan.

At this time, because of the battle just now, Ethan was covered in blood all over his body, and behind him was the rubble billowing with smoke. He didn't look very "decent" now.

The Aurors who came together looked at the **** scene in disbelief. Although they had dealt with many cases, it was the first time they had seen this scene of blood and corpses.

"Put down your weapons, put your hands up!" Moody yelled at Ethan, raising his wand.

Ethan narrowed his eyes and looked at Moody, who was wielding his wand, still holding the long sword in his right hand, standing aside without moving. Ethan was a little annoyed in his heart. These Aurors were just like the police in the movie. It was long overdue when the battle was over.

Ethan's indifference caused Moody's anger, and the tip of Moody's staff glowed red.

As he got older, Moody became increasingly paranoid, didn't believe anything, and felt he saw a dark wizard wherever he went.

Moody once smashed a birthday gift into pieces on his birthday because he suspected it was a cleverly disguised basilisk egg. It turned out that it was just a travel alarm clock.

Seeing Ethan's strange appearance now, coupled with Ethan's refusal to obey his orders, Moody's nerves were tense again.

"Oh my God, this is a misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding!" Tonks finally stood up between Ethan and Moody, explaining the situation to Moody in the shortest words.

Hearing Tonks' explanation, Moody relaxed a little bit. He lowered his wand and looked at Ethan carefully with his two eyes again. His eyes stayed on Ethan's amber cat eyes for a long time.

"Where did you come from? I've never seen you before." Moody approached Ethan, his magic eye still locked on Ethan as if he wanted to see something from Ethan's face so that he could arrest Ethan right away.

"My name is Ethan, and I'm a professor at Hogwarts," Ethan answered Moody's words honestly. With the steps given by Tonks, Ethan didn't need to hold it.

"I know all the professors at Hogwarts; I have never seen you!" Moody heard Ethan's words like a frightened cat again, quickly distanced himself from Ethan, and resumed, Pointing his wand at Ethan, "Be honest, what do you do?"

"Are you a professor at Hogwarts?" Tonks also widened his eyes in surprise. She had just graduated from Hogwarts, and Ethan had just become a professor, so Tonks naturally didn't listen.

"I can prove that Ethan is the newest professor I hired."

With a crackling sound, Dumbledore arrived at the scene with the Apparition Charm, and the battle finally alarmed Dumbledore.

With Dumbledore's assurance, Moody finally lifted his suspicions about Ethan. He finally put away his wand and said, "If that's the case, then I..."

Before Moody's words were finished, there was a burst of light and noise around several people. Moody was startled again. He pulled out his wand and pointed to the source of the sound and light.

Only then did Moody notice a woman around them at some point, wearing a pair of bejeweled glasses and her blond hair curled into delicate, stiff, grotesque curls.

The teeth were bared, and a smile that thought she was charming matched her big chin face, which looked very awkward, and her fat fingers were holding a magic camera, shooting around.

Taking advantage of Moody's time to observe her, she quickly took a few close-ups of Ethan and Dumbledore.

"It's amazing, it's amazing!" Rita walked straight to Ethan, ignoring Moody's wand and pointing at her.

Then he asked a barrage of guns, "Did you do all this? Why did you kill them? Did someone tell you to do this? Can you accept my interview?" A dark green shorthand. The quill was poised around her, ready to record something.

Ethan recognized this woman; she was Rita Skeeter, a reporter from the Daily Prophet, a female reporter who was full of nonsense just for the sake of attention. Ethan kept his mouth tightly closed because she hadn't said anything. She may misinterpret her words.

"How did you get here? Go away! This is the crime scene! Someone take him away!" The reporter who appeared here inexplicably made Moody's rage, and he rudely told his Aurors to drive her away.

This rough treatment made Rita Skeeter pout in dissatisfaction. She had already figured out how to write tomorrow's newspaper's headline, "The Butcher of Knockturn Alley."
