Chapter 270 Confrontation with Stringer
Chapter 270 Confrontation with Stringer
Dumbledore was right, the Triwizard Tournament did fill all the students' lives.
In the corridors, on the stairs, in the classrooms, everyone was talking about the Triwizard Tournament.
They were all speculating on what the first trial would be. Of course, the warriors were also the focus of their discussion.
Mo Bai, on the other hand, was someone who simply couldn't get over it.
It was already a hot topic within Hogwarts, but with the blessing of the Daily Prophet, it has completely occupied the center of the topic.
Even the students of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were talking about Mo Bai instead of the warriors of their own schools.
Stringer felt that he had made the right choice to come to Hogwarts.
It had only been less than a month, and he had almost completed most of his investigation on Mo Bai.
This also made him feel that something was wrong.
It was so easy. He had never encountered such a simple investigation in his Auror career.
After thinking about it, he figured it out.
After all, the other party is just a teenager. As the director of the Auror Office, I can certainly get to the bottom of it by devoting all my efforts to the investigation.
He sat in his makeshift office at Hogwarts and rapped his knuckles on the table.
After a while, he knocked again.
After waiting for a few more seconds and no one opened the door, he remembered that he was not in his Auror office, and there was no little Auror waiting outside the door.
With a dissatisfied grunt, he stood up and went to find someone.
Hermione was in the library when she was found by a classmate. She didn't look surprised when she heard that the director of Aurors wanted to find her.
"Is he only looking for me?"
"And classmate Mo Bai," the girl looked around.
"Isn't he here?"
"Oh, it's okay, he has passed."
Hermione put the black cat in her arms on the table, "Let's go."
"Ah? Oh..."
The girl was a little confused.
The director only asked himself to inform them. How did Mo Bai know about it?
When the two of them walked to Scrimgeour's door, the girl was surprised to find that Mo Bai was already standing at the door. It seemed that he had been waiting for them for a while.
He smiled and pulled Hermione over, "Sorry to trouble you."
Looking at him with smiling eyes, the girl's face blushed slightly and she straightened her hair on her temples.
"fine."
"hiss……"
Mo Bai took a breath of cold air.
The girl glanced at his waist, smiled, and turned away.
After the girl left, Mo Bai quickly begged for mercy.
The little girl glared at him.
Put away your charm that has nowhere to go.
Mo Bai is very innocent.
He just smiled politely.
The two looked at each other and at the same time looked at the door in front of them.
【Are you ready? 】
The ink-white voice sounded in Hermione's head.
Hermione couldn't do wandless and silent Legilimency yet, so she rubbed her little face and winked at Mo Bai.
All right.
Opening the door, the two people walked in with low eyebrows.
Scrimgeour was sitting behind the table, looking at them seriously.
"Please take a seat, both of you."
Mo Bai sat down properly and said, "The director wants to see us for something."
Scrimgeour said with a half-smile, "Of course."
He looked at Hermione first, "I thought you would come here holding your black cat."
Hermione was stunned for a moment, glanced at Mo Bai, pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Such an unnatural reaction naturally did not escape Scrimgeour's eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up.
Mo Bai held her hand under the table, "I didn't expect the director to be interested in students' pets."
"pet?"
Scrimgeour knocked on the table, "Did you know that unregistered animagus is against Ministry of Magic law?"
Hermione's head was buried lower, and even her thin shoulders were shaking a little.
Mo Bai showed no emotion at all, "We learned this in Transfiguration class, why did the director suddenly mention this?"
Scrimgeour met his eyes.
This guy's psychological quality is quite good, but unfortunately, his little girlfriend is a bit worse.
He waved his hand and said, "Actually, even if it is an unregistered Animagus, the Ministry of Magic will only fine you a few Galleons and will not imprison them in Azkaban."
"Do you know who we're going to put in Azkaban?"
He stared into Mo Bai's eyes.
"Dark wizard."
He was satisfied with catching a flicker of movement in those dark eyes.
Mo Bai showed a slightly stiff smile.
"Director, what does this have to do with us?"
"I want to ask you a question, where did you live before coming to Hogwarts?"
"You can tell by my accent on the border of Germany and Austria."
"Ha, that's quite honest."
Scrimgeour took out a document from the drawer and placed it in front of Mo Bai.
"This is a document I found from Fudge. It says that the channel through which you entered the UK came from the Rozier family. What is your relationship with the Rozier family?"
"It's just a way to spend money, it doesn't matter."
Mo Bai answered fluently.
"is it?"
Scrimgeour did not ask further questions and pulled out another document.
"Two years ago, your little girlfriend was kidnapped by unknown forces outside Diagon Alley. She was safe and sound, but the robber was nowhere to be found. Is there anything you want to say to me about this matter?"
Mo Bai looked at the other party in surprise.
The surprise on his face was not fake, he really didn't expect that this Auror could even find out about this matter.
Could it be that Lao Deng’s head was not cleaned up at that time?
"I met the masters and servants of the Vandelheim family, and they saved my life."
Scrimgeour glanced at the papers.
This guy is very smart, he knows how to tell the truth mixed with lies.
He was not prepared to use Legilimency.
Because he had already made a judgment in his heart, and now he was just enjoying the interrogation.
He thoroughly enjoyed the prisoner's speechless feeling of being exposed by his step-by-step questioning and being criticized by his inferences.
Moreover, it is too ridiculous for the dignified director of the Auror Office to use Legilimency in front of two teenage children...
"So then, the Ivo family, the source of the robbers, was wiped out, the team leader went insane, and he identified the murderer as a teenage child. Does it have anything to do with you?"
Mo Bai's smile became forced, "Maybe it was the head of the Vandenheim family who did it."
"Maybe." He took a deep look at Mo Bai.
He pulled out another document.
"In the same holiday year, you traveled to Egypt, and then something happened in Egypt."
"First, a battle broke out between super-powered humans and vampires, and a dark wizard also sneaked into Cairo, Egypt. His mission was to assassinate the descendants of Grindelwald."
"The dark wizard also disappeared in Cairo. At the same time, the Ebo family was completely destroyed by Grindelwald's remnants."
Mo Bai's Adam's apple slipped.
"What's interesting is that the Egyptian Ministry of Magic sought the help of a fortune teller in order to find Grindelwald's descendant," he looked into the white eyes, "once a day."
"Then, on the day you left Cairo, the fortune teller's results showed that Grindelwald's descendant left Cairo."
Stringer's eyes twinkled.
"Student Mo, do you have anything to say?"
Mo Bai pursed his thin lips tightly.
"Maybe it's a coincidence."
"coincide?"
Stringer smiled.
boom!
Suddenly, he slapped the table hard, making the little girl tremble.
"How can there be so many coincidences!"
