Chapter 412 The Story of Rome
"Today, wizards from all over Italy are gathered here to witness together the birth of the new Italian Minister of Magic..." Countless wizards stood in the square of Rome, crowded together, staring at them The tall podium in front of you.
Dozens of officials from the Ministry of Magic around the world sat on it and witnessed the birth of the new Italian Minister of Magic.
Naturally, these people also included people from the Wizarding Party. Some of them sat on the high platform, quietly watching Alexi's back, and some stood on the square and squeezed secretly. own wand...
Ash, on the other hand, was wearing a black gilt cloak, standing on the roof of the building beside the square, and at the same time, there were two Aurors lying down at his feet.
"Cuckoo, how long is it until dinner is ready?" Phil turned into a human form and stood beside Ash, she lowered her head and plucked her feathers with her hands while covering her stomach: "Phil is hungry, Gu Gu Gu."
"Immediately." Ash nodded slightly and said calmly, "After the winner is announced, it's time for the dinner..."
As he spoke, he turned his head and patted Phil's head: "You will have your share then."
"Cuckoo, that's great! Cuckoo!" Phil nodded happily, and then pulled out her wand from the feather: "Then when will we kill him?"
As she spoke she pointed her wand at Alexy.
"We won't kill him." Ash shook his head and pressed Phil's wand down: "We will control him behind the scenes to serve us."
"Huh~ That sounds so evil, huh." Phil's words made Ash shake his head. He was obviously a little owl who would get angry when he killed people casually, but now he has become a murderer who can't help himself.
The growth environment really affects owls.
While Ash was thinking wildly, cheers came from the square, and Alexi became the new Italian Minister of Magic with a support rate of 60.00%.
Of course, most of the 60.00% of the credit is due to the secret support of the Wizarding Party, and even so, the representatives of the Wizarding Party have a support rate of 20.00%.
That pretty much says it all about the wizarding environment in Italy.
The harmony on the surface... Ashe looked at Alexi on the high platform waving his hands happily, he also nodded slightly, and then put on the raven mask.
"Dinner time, it's time to start." He waved gently at Phil, and then caught her who had turned into an owl.
"Hope our new minister is a hospitable man..."
……
"Congratulations, Minister!" In the hall of the banquet, Alexis was standing in the middle, surrounded by congratulators and compliments.
But even so, the smile on his face was not so bright, because he could always feel a strange atmosphere shrouded in the hall.
At the same time, he was also worried about the reaction of the Wizarding Party... The result of the election was a bit unexpected, and because of this, the Wizarding Party was more likely to die...
Moreover, his backer, Headmaster Dumbledore, and the professors he sent are both busy now... His situation is actually not safe.
But it's okay... Alexy looked at the Aurors passing by and felt a lot better. Even if those members of the Wizarding Party were arrogant, they didn't dare to stand in front of everyone...
"Minister..." Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder, and he turned his head to see an Auror looking at him seriously.
"What's wrong?" Alexi frowned slightly.
"It's related to the Wizarding Party." Auror said with his head down, "Mr. Alos, the director of Auror's office, wants to see you."
"I see..." Alexi nodded, Alos is trustworthy, and he has been supporting him to become a minister from the beginning to the end. Because of this, Alexi attaches great importance to his request.
Now that he's mentioned the Wizarding Party... that's sure to be a big deal.
Alexy shrugged off the flattery around him, and followed the Auror towards the side corridor of the hall.
There is no one in this corridor, except for a few Aurors, there is only a puddle of water on the ground, which looks like someone slipped and spilled it.
Alexy frowned slightly, and then said to the Auror, "What else does Director Alos want me to do?"
The Auror smiled slightly: "He hopes that you can greet Mr. Qiqiu instead of him." Before he finished speaking, he pushed Alexy to the edge of the puddle with a light push.
"Boom." Alexy stepped on the water suddenly, he froze for a moment and then looked around sharply.
The surroundings were still exactly the same as before, but... those Aurors disappeared at some point.
He seemed to be the only one in the empty corridor. He was startled, and quickly pulled out his wand from his waist, then looked around vigilantly.
The Auror must have said that he was a member of the Wizarding Party... He recalled what happened just now and regretted it for a while, he was still a little careless, and actually believed the Auror's nonsense...
"Pa-ta." Suddenly, he heard a crisp voice coming from the hall.
what happened?
Alexy vigilantly took the wand and walked slowly to the hall. At this time, there were no guests coming and going, only an empty room and a person standing inside.
He was wearing a black cloak and a terrifying raven mask on his face.
Just like those plague doctors 100 years ago, he looked at Alexi quietly with a beaked face.
"Who are you?" Alexy bravely took out his wand, and then looked at the man with a little fear.
His bravado amused the man in the mask of the raven, who shook his head slightly, then flicked his wand out with a flick of the wrist.
"Painted out..." Seeing this, Alexy immediately swung his wand, but his movements were already unfamiliar. Facing the wand flying towards him like lightning, he almost had no time to resist before being grabbed by the man.
Feeling the pressure from his neck, Alexy subconsciously wanted to turn his wand to resist.
But the man clearly saw his intentions, he just flicked his wand lightly, and Alexi's right hand slipped, and the brown wand quietly floated in the air.
"Who are you...?" Alexy said vigorously, "Aren't you, are you a member of the Wizarding Party?"
"No." The cold voice reached Alexy's ears, making him shiver uncontrollably.
"Then, then let me go quickly..." Alexi struggled and said, "I am... the Minister of Magic of Italy."
"Don't worry." The man wearing the raven mask smiled softly, "You will be in the future too."
As he spoke, he raised his wand slightly, and a silver-blue mist surrounded Alexy.
At the same time, he also felt a strong sting.
With the end of the sting, Alexy was surprised to find himself lying in a puddle, and in front of him was the Auror who led the way.
"Are you all right, Chief Alexis?" He asked softly, "Pay attention to your feet!"
This is myself... Alexy stood up suspiciously, did he slip and fall?
When he was wondering, the Auror in front of him smiled slightly: "Mr. Qiqiu is waiting for you next door."
…………
There were no guests in the quiet bar, only a disheveled man with his head lowered and constantly wiping his dirty glass.
However, the rag he used should not be very clean, at least the wine glass has not been wiped clean.
"Patta." The door of the bar was pushed open, and a gloomy man walked in. He was dressed in a black robe, and then slowly sat in the corner.
"Professor Severus Snape, what do you need?" The bar owner glanced at him, he knew the guy in front of him, he was a professor from Hogwarts.
He is also the right hand of his damn brother.
"Tell you something, and wait for some people by the way." Snape glanced at him, with lingering disdain in his eyes, it was hard to imagine that such a disheveled figure was Dumbledore's younger brother.
"Clap."
The door of the bar was pushed open again. This time it was Lupine with a pale face and a thin figure who walked in, but he was not poorly dressed. It may be because the improved wolfsbane potion successfully reduced the cost, making this man A wandering professor has a better life.
He glanced at Snape, then slowly sat down across from him.
"Are they all coming?" Lupine asked softly.
"Of course." Snape looked at him and rolled his eyes slightly: "Could it be, do you think there are still people who choose to read more newspapers?"
"Bang." As soon as the two finished speaking, the door of the bar was knocked open, and it was Sirius who walked in. His eyes lit up when he saw Lupin, and he smiled and sat beside him.
"He came earlier than me." He patted Lupine on the shoulder with a smile, and then waved to the bar owner: "Have a bottle of butter beer."
"Do you want it?"
"I don't have to." Lupine shook his head with a smile, and Snape just frowned at him.
As time went on, more and more people in the bar, Professor McGonagall, Moody, and other members of the Order of the Phoenix came here.
Of course, only Ash, Hagrid and Dumbledore didn't come.
One of them was in Rome, one was in Beauxbatons, and one was recuperating at Hogwarts.
"Severus, so what happened...Why did Dumbledore summon everyone?" Kingsley, who had no relationship with anyone, looked at Snape with a puzzled expression.
There are a lot of things going on in the Ministry of Magic recently, especially after Barty Crouch came to power, the Ministry of Magic immediately started martial law work. With the increase in Auror work, Kingsley has also become busy.
His question is also the question of others, whether it is Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Moody or Lupine who just came back, it is very strange... After all, if it is just the resurrection of Voldemort... then it is not possible to convene in just a few days everyone.
Because Voldemort's resurrection is almost everyone in the Order of the Phoenix knows.
"This matter has something to do with Dumbledore." Snape said softly, his low voice made everyone quiet, even the owner of the bar, Aberforth, shook his head slightly, and stopped cleaning the glass.
"Dumbledore is injured." Snape said slowly. Only he and Professor McGonagall knew about it in the Order of the Phoenix.
McGonagall nodded slightly, corroborating Snape's statement.
"What?" Mad-Eye Moody jumped up immediately: "Who can hurt Dumbledore?"
"I'm afraid it's not Ash Embers who didn't come!" He drew out his wand and shouted: "I knew he was not an easy kid."
"Not him." Snape shook his head immediately.
"It was Ash who saved Dumbledore." McGonagall added, "From him."
"He has it?!" The members of the Order of the Phoenix naturally knew who he represented.
"But..." Sirius froze for a moment, he knew very well that Dumbledore was powerful... and Voldemort would not be his opponent no matter how he looked at it.
"The details are complicated." Snape said softly, "But in any case, Dumbledore will not be able to act for a short time." Dumbledore didn't want him to tell everyone that he was dying, after all, in the dark, the Order of the Phoenix All that is needed is hope.
"Don't tell anyone about this first." McGonagall added: "Including Harry."
"He is still participating in the Goblet of Fire competition... Once it affects his mood, it is very likely that the mysterious person will take advantage of it."
Mag's words made everyone in the Order of the Phoenix nod.
"Then what should we do?" Sirius asked, "About Horcruxes..."
"This matter is indeed related to the Horcrux." McGonagall nodded slightly: "Dumbledore hopes that we can find the remaining Horcruxes."
"One of the Horcrux clues is related to the mysterious man RAB." Mag took out the note and distributed it to everyone to watch.
"At the same time, Dumbledore found another possible Horcrux." McGonagall thought for a while and said, "That Horcrux should be in Gaunt's old house."
"Gaunt's old house?" Sirius nodded slightly: "I..."
"You can't." McGonagall stopped him immediately: "Your mission is to protect Harry."
"When he was at Beauxbatons he was very dangerous."
Sirius could only nod resentfully.
"About that RAB, what do you all think?" Kingsley looked at the note and asked, "Is it possible that this is an abbreviation?"
"Should be the initials?" Sirius guessed.
"And the relationship between this person and the mysterious person is not ordinary." Lupine added: "It must be a member of a pure-blood family."
His words made everyone nod their heads slightly, but the range is still too large. I don’t know how many people from pure-blood families died in the wizarding wars for several years. Some of them disappeared, some died in battle, and some Just released from Azkaban.
But the list is not small by any means.
"I will look for information at the Ministry of Magic." Kingsley nodded slightly: "There will definitely be relevant information there."
"This matter will trouble you." McGonagall nodded slightly and said, "Lupine, can you and Professor Moody go to the Gaunt family's mansion to find Horcruxes?"
"Okay." Lupine nodded slightly.
"Snape, you and Sirius are responsible for protecting Harry's safety." McGonagall looked at the others and said, "The others are responsible for finding clues to the Horcrux."
"In any case, we have to act quickly."
