After taking a deep look at Rossi, Melody turned her head and looked at Williamson:
"Williamson, are the interrogation records ready?"
Seeing the other party nodding, she raised her eyes again and said: "Rufus, together with Delis and Williamson, escort Crouch and his son to the tenth floor, and then explain the situation to the Wizengamot clerk and apply for a counterattack." Warrant for Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy's arrest."
He turned his attention to the others: "Shackles, go and draft a search warrant. The scope of the search will cover the entire Malfoy Manor. Well, when you've written it, give it to me to stamp."
The rest of us are ready to go to Malfoy Manor as soon as the arrest warrant and search warrant are obtained. "
"receive!"
The Aurors responded in unison, and immediately after, the few people named by Melody stood up to do their work, while the rest continued to wait in the office.
"Rosie, did you capture them?" Seeing Crouch and his son being taken away, a curious Tonks whispered to Rosie.
"Well, I was able to get the clue only by chance."
Rossi simply whispered that he got clues from Blake and then bought more information from Mr. Borkin.
"You and Black also know each other. Didn't he just be released not long ago?" Tonks asked.
also?
Looking at her in surprise, Rossi was about to speak when she suddenly said as if she had figured something out:
"You also met him through Lupine, right?"
Rosie asked in surprise: "How do you know I know Lupin?"
"In September, Lupine came all day long to inquire about Black and Peter Pettigrew. He claimed to be your friend at that time."
Tonks' bright eyes blinked, "I met him in the lobby on the eighth floor, and later met Black through him."
"Oh, I see."
Nodding suddenly, Rossi smiled and murmured in his heart: It seems that I let them get to know each other in advance, which is also a good thing!
In the original novel, Lupine and Tonks were married.
At this time, Tonks leaned into Rossi's ear and whispered: "I see Lupine's behavior, he seems to like you a little bit."
? ? ?
Rosie stood up abruptly.
"What's wrong, Rosie? What's on your mind?" Melody asked in confusion when she saw her standing up from the sofa.
"No, it's nothing."
She replied with some embarrassment, and under Melody's suspicious eyes, she sat back again.
Turning her eyes and meeting Tonks' eyes, she asked in a gentle voice: "He said he likes me?"
"Then he didn't say it clearly. You should know that he looks a little shy, like a big boy."
Having said this, Tonks chuckled a few times and moved her eyes unnaturally to the other side: "But judging from his performance, my judgment should be correct."
Shy big boy?
Averted from my sight? Her reaction is obviously wrong, right?
Did you fall in love with Lupine and test me on purpose?
After thinking a few words secretly in his mind, Rossi whispered calmly:
"You must have misjudged. Lu Ping and I are both teachers and friends. It is normal for him to appreciate me, but it cannot be a love between a man and a woman."
Tonks' eyes turned back:
"Don't you like Lupine? Isn't he quite good?"
Rossi shook his head and was about to speak when he heard footsteps coming from outside the door, followed by Shacklebolt and walked into the office with a page of paperwork.
Just as Melody took over the search warrant and stamped it, Rufus and the other two returned.
"Director, the arrest warrant application cannot be processed."
Rufus looked a little depressed, "The secretary of the Wizengamot said that the Lucius couple had always had a good reputation in the wizarding world, and they often did charity. Just based on the words of a fugitive, in the peace of the family gathering It was inappropriate to arrest the Malfoys at night.
If they cannot be convicted in the end, the reputation of the Ministry of Magic will be affected. "
"But letting these evil Death Eaters go free will have no impact on the reputation of the Ministry of Magic?" Moody said angrily in a hoarse voice.
Rufus smiled bitterly and shrugged: "What he means is, let's go to Malfoy Manor to search first. If we really find evidence of collusion between the Luciuses and Barty Jr., we can apply for an arrest warrant to arrest them. "
After hearing this, Robards next to Moody complained:
"Now the secretary of Wizengamot is too timid and afraid of trouble, and he doesn't dare to take any responsibility..."
"Okay, don't say these useless words."
Melody interrupted him, stood up and said, "Then let's go to Malfoy Manor to search first!"
…
As one of the pure-blood families in the wizarding world, the Malfoy family's mansion is located in Wiltshire, England.
Although the style of this manor is different from the Wilson Manor that Rosie once visited, the size and magnificence of the manor are similar.
Because it was a festival, the entire manor was illuminated by colorful lights.
This also made it easier for Rosie and the others who came to search, allowing them to see most of the scenery in the garden clearly before they even got close to the manor.
The Malfoy Manor mansion has six floors. The fourth floor has an open-air terrace with luxurious and rich metal carvings on the top. The whole building has a Baroque style feel.
Whether it is the carefully manicured gardens surrounding the mansion, or the several fountains and peacocks roaming freely in the garden, they all exude an air of luxury and magnificence.
During the observation period, everyone had arrived at the exquisite wrought iron gate of the manor. At this time, Rossi suddenly noticed an owl flying out of the manor.
Immediately afterwards, the system prompted a "ding" sound.
"Mission Four: Save Ginny (Completed)."
Eh? Is this mission completed?
Looking at the text on the task panel, Rossi couldn't help but have a guess in his mind:
This task had not been completed before, perhaps because Voldemort still had the intention of using potions to make Grace completely lose control.
And now it was completed suddenly. I am afraid that someone sent a letter to Lucius, telling him that we were going to search his house, which forced him to get rid of the madness potion...
Without the madness potion, little Barty was arrested again. It would be difficult for Voldemort to find someone who would do his best, so his plan to deal with Grace went bankrupt.
"Open the Alaho hole!"
Just as Rosie's thoughts were racing, Moody pulled out his wand and unlocked the door.
Tonks and Williamson opened the door, and Melody walked in first.
As he passed the open wrought iron door, Rossi felt as if he was walking through smoke.
At this time, Lucius and his wife led Draco out, followed by several house elves.
"Isn't this Director Melody? Happy Christmas Eve!"
Lucius's eyes swept across Rossi's face, "You brought the Aurors here to celebrate the festival? Then I really... welcome you."
