For example, the Malfoy family heard that they had to give away more than half of their family property to barely clear themselves of the crime. This was mainly because Lucius was a thief and kept a low profile, so there was no direct evidence for trial. He insisted that he was robbed. The soul curse is under control, and only then can there be a chance to escape guilt.
And those who directly showed their faces to do evil are either dead or thrown into Azkaban, and are still suffering.
But even if they were not captured, the Malfoy family has been really having a hard time these years.
If it were decades ago, would the Malfoy family still be afraid of a search for dark magic items presided over by a partial director of the Ministry of Magic?
Some time ago, Lucius was forced to clear out a wave of dangerous items inherited from his family, because he was worried about being caught.
This is all ancestral property and money!
Lucius originally disliked the Weasley family, but now he hates them even more.
Ted glanced at Ginny, who had her head down and was helpless, and the second-hand cauldron and textbook she was holding in her hands, and felt that Lucius might want to take the opportunity to retaliate.
He definitely didn't know that the diary Voldemort left in his house was a Horcrux, otherwise he wouldn't have taken it out even if he was killed.
If I mess things up this time, I may not have the chance to destroy the notebook in the future.
This Horcrux is different from the others. It is the first Horcrux that carries Voldemort's memories and personality at that time and has self-awareness.
Later Horcruxes became useless. It may be that Voldemort's technology improved and he no longer had such loopholes that he could exploit himself.
Maybe Voldemort deceived Lucius, saying that the notebook was the key to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
This is very possible. Using one secret to cover up another secret is an old trick.
So Lucius wanted to give the diary to Ginny in order to retaliate against Mr. Arthur's series of targeted policies.
Think about it, if Ginny opened the Chamber of Secrets and killed Muggles, and she was a pure-blood, this would undoubtedly be a huge blow to her father's pro-Muggle stance.
The more Ted thought about it, the more he realized it was worth noting that although Voldemort had been gone for more than ten years, the struggle between purebloods and Muggle wizards had never stopped.
The winner of the bookstore fighting match here has just been decided, and the players from both sides are still talking harsh words before leaving the field. Suddenly, I heard a commotion and shouting in the street outside.
Ted and the others turned around suddenly and found seven or eight wizards lifting up their robes and running like crazy. As they ran, they shouted: "Run! Run! There is a monster!"
"A monster bursts out of Knockturn Alley!"
"Not one, many!"
"Ah~~run quickly!"
"Mom, mom, where are you~"
The wizards had been in peace for a long time, and they didn't have the mentality to deal with emergencies, so they panicked. In an instant, the children were crying and the wives were screaming, and the streets were in chaos.
I heard the sound of smashing and destruction in the distance, as if the demolition team was coming.
There are also the sounds of some wizards chanting spells, but the situation feels bad because the wizards are still running crazy this way.
The scene was no different from that of Muggles in crisis.
Ansu, who was watching the wizard boxing match, got Ted's signal and instantly lifted into the air, flying towards the direction of the approaching chaos.
Ted's psychic energy connected to Anzu's spirit, and he closed one eye and switched to Anzu's perspective.
I saw a fork in the road less than a hundred meters away, and a group of wizards were running out in a hurry. There were normal wizards, but also some guys with big noses and hunched bows who didn't look like good people at first sight.
There's even a Bodkin Bock store owner that Ted spied on before!
They were running out of Knockturn Alley, with many strange things chasing them.
There are green and blue bodies covered with scales and mucus, like fish-headed monsters with slender arms and legs that walk upright.
This is a fishman, different from a mermaid. Merfolk are more like humans, and murlocs are more like fish.
Ted had only heard about and seen moving paintings in books, but this was the first time he had seen them alive.
The book says that fish people are cruel by nature. Although they have their own language and some individuals can even cast a few magics, they actually eat people!
These four or five fishmen, led by a taller fishman, held simple sticks and brooms, and chased the black wizard of Knockturn Alley in front of them while shouting nonsense.
Although he was knocked over by magic spells from time to time, he seemed to have strong magic resistance and did not lose his fighting power. He got up and continued to chase.
Behind the fish-men, there were seven or eight things that looked very similar to fairies, with similar noses, ears, and sizes.
But their eyes are more cruel and bloodthirsty, their mouths are full of fangs, their nails are dirty and sharp, they hold cauldrons and benches they grabbed casually on the street as weapons, and they howl and cheer from behind.
This is... Goblin?
According to what is written in the book, goblins are not very courageous. Shouldn't they dare to attack wizards with a larger number of seven or eight?
The reason why they are so brave is that they have one backbone - a monster over two meters tall and two meters thick, covered in fur, with hands hanging down on its knees, a face like a brown bear, a mouth with long fangs, and a huge nose!
This turned out to be a bugbear!
There is still a piece of iron chain left on its wrist!
Level 10 Furious Bugbear Marauder/Level 2 Anti-Magic Monster...a total level 12 monster!
According to Ted's appraisal, this bugbear's magic resistance is as high as level 5!
This is the existence with the highest magic resistance Ted has ever seen so far. Even Voldemort, who was crippled before, might not be this tall.
Perhaps, only high-level magical animals such as unicorns and phoenixes have such high magic resistance.
Basically, magical beings have a certain amount of magic resistance.
And if something has been under the influence of magic but has not died due to it, then it will be easy to form an adaptability under the influence for a long time.
That is to say, the magic resistance has been upgraded!
And this bugbear is like that.
It is an elite bugbear, one of the more capable bugbears, and a predator that specializes in attacking other creatures.
It was captured by a dedicated dark wizard hunting team and sold to Knockturn Alley.
In Professor Quirrell's experimental memory, Ted saw him buying those alien monsters from some black marketeers in Knockturn Alley for experiments.
Although the Ministry of Magic has issued relevant laws prohibiting the private capture and sale of alien monsters. But of course someone will do it if it is profitable.
Bugbears like this are not weak in their own right, but the market has been bad recently, and they have been stored in Knockturn Alley for more than a month without selling.
So the owner of the dark wizard shop used it to experiment with magic, but in the end, he just upgraded his magic resistance and turned into some kind of anti-magic monster.
Then a small accident allowed the bugbear to seize the opportunity to directly destroy the magic cage and shackles, withstand a disintegration and a stun spell, and hammered the dark wizard's head open.
Then it lost its temper and smashed the underground warehouse to pieces, and some other "goods" also took the opportunity to escape.
In fact, Ted and the others are only facing part of it, and there is still another part that is tossing in Knockturn Alley!
"Ouch~" The Bugbear, who had been tortured for a month, was about to go crazy. He howled and rushed out of Knockturn Alley, followed by a group of temporarily attached goblins.
Seeing the two magic spells hitting it, the bugbear only paused for a moment, and a few tufts of fur were knocked off!
At this time, Gringotts, located at the intersection of Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, bore the brunt of the attack.
The goblin guard in red looked bad and shouted in a sharp voice: "Quick! Close the door, close the door!"
This sound attracted the enemy, and the bugbear actually rushed towards the two conspicuous goblin guards wearing bright red, like a mad bull seeing a matador holding a red cloth.
"Paisiyasla~" An elf guard stretched out his unusually long fingers and chanted the elf language magic spell at the top of his lungs.
I don’t know what the effect of this curse is. Anyway, it hit the bugbear and it just shook it for a moment, and then it jumped up six or seven steps at a time.
The hand he raised was an iron rod, which should have been removed from the iron cage.
Although the goblin guard seemed to have cast a protective magic on himself, he was still thrown away like a cannonball, and he was already vomiting blood when he fell to the ground.
Before he could struggle to get up, a face that was somewhat similar to his, but with more cunning and cruelty appeared. A long and narrow "dagger" made of broken glass with a rag wrapped at the end, directly It penetrated into his eye socket, and blood overflowed~
And the goblin who killed this "respectable distant relative" in a sneak attack laughed extremely proudly, covered in blood, danced around, and was extremely excited.
