Rufus Scrimgeour, back when he went to present the Order of Merlin, Second Class, had also become acquainted with him, led by Amos Diggory.
“Yes, I didn’t expect to meet again in such a situation.”
Amelia Bones also didn’t know what to say to Ethan in this kind of situation.
This isn't a suitable place for small talk.
As for Rufus Scrimgeour, he simply nodded at Ethan as a greeting; he wasn’t a man of many words to begin with.
“Madam Bones, you probably understand the situation to some extent now.”
“These people tried to rob me of my Galleons, so they joined forces to create this chaos. Now that they have been caught, can I leave now?”
“I still need to go back and report my safety to Cassandra and the others.”
Now that the matter was resolved, and he had gained some prestige, Ethan had no reason to stay here. Rather than being with these old fogeys from the Ministry of Magic, he might as well go back and sleep with Fleur.
“Adrian, you still need to come back to the Ministry of Magic with us to explain the details…”
Rufus Scrimgeour was interrupted by Amelia Bones before he could finish speaking:
“You go back and rest first, but come to the Ministry of Magic before the start of the school term. After all, you are the person involved.”
“There are many things we still need to ask you about, and we hope you can cooperate then.”
According to normal procedures, like Rufus Scrimgeour said, he shouldn’t be allowed to leave now and must go with them.
Then, they would all return to the Ministry of Magic, and he would have to reveal everything he knew, and only after they deemed it appropriate to let Ethan return could he be released.
This is the same in the Muggle world; even victims have to go to the police station first.
Not to mention that Ethan had killed quite a few people in front of them.
There would be even more questions to ask.
“Okay, I’ll go to the Ministry of Magic in a couple of days; I won’t make things difficult for you.”
Ethan naturally wouldn’t undermine Amelia Bones since she was giving him face.
Ethan also knew these rules.
“Good, we won’t bother you then. We still need to rush to the west side of the stadium; the riots there haven’t been resolved yet.”
“By the way, do you need us to leave some people to help you clean up the scene and deal with these Galleons?”
Just as Amelia Bones was about to retreat, her eyes were suddenly dazzled by the golden light of the coins, and she immediately remembered this matter.
“You guys, take out the Galleons from their pockets.”
She knew what kind of people she had under her command; quite a few were greedy.
Some even took advantage of their Auror positions to earn some extra money.
She usually turned a blind eye to these things, after all, the entire Ministry of Magic was like this.
If you wanted to work in the Ministry of Magic, you couldn’t be clean, and you had to learn to compromise.
Now, many people were probably planning to take the Galleons from these wizards as spoils of war after they were taken to the Ministry of Magic.
Under normal circumstances, Amelia Bones wouldn’t interfere.
But now, she wanted to leave a good impression on Ethan.
She was even prepared to leave a few Aurors behind, so how could she let them ruin her plan?
Although she was also a little envious of these Galleons, she knew what she should and shouldn’t take.
Offending Ethan for the sake of Galleons wasn’t worth it, no matter how many Galleons there were.
This world ultimately values strength, not wealth.
“No need, these are not real Galleons.”
With that, Ethan directly dispelled the Transfiguration, which could be considered a subtle display of strength.
Instantly, the golden coins turned into black dust, and after a gust of wind blew, they tasted what "Galleons" really tasted like.
Damn, chocolate!
Especially those wizards controlled by the Aurors, who now had a look of having eaten sh*t on their faces, was this what they risked their lives to rob?
And how did he prepare in advance? Did he know that they were going to attack him?
So, he prepared this in advance?
Amelia Bones also looked at Ethan with some surprise.
She couldn't figure out whether Ethan knew everything that was going to happen today or whether he was just meticulous enough to prepare these fake Galleons in advance.
But now was obviously not the time to ask this.
So, she could only return with the Aurors, using Apparition, with a belly full of questions.
After the Aurors had left, only Ethan and some hidden lurkers were left at the scene.
Ethan simply ignored them.
Arriving at the tent, Ethan was surprised to find that it was still intact.
Although Ethan had deliberately cleaved open the area where his tent was located during the attack.
But they didn't even affect his tent when they were fighting, which was a bit unbelievable.
Since the tent was good, Ethan certainly wouldn't abandon it.
It was, after all, a deluxe version he bought outside, and it also contained some of Ethan's alchemical works, which he could continue to use whenever he needed them.
After confirming that nothing was missing, Ethan prepared to directly activate the Portkey to leave.
Just then, Ethan suddenly sensed a group of magical fluctuations rushing towards him.
Without any external interference, they would probably reach Ethan's current location in about a minute.
However, these magical fluctuations were not from wizards; the difference between the two was still very obvious. It was a bit like leprechauns.
Thinking of a certain possibility, Ethan immediately stopped rushing to return.
Being able to chase leprechauns with a hammer must mean there's a conflict.
The only conflict the leprechauns have had was with Veelas.
With a large group of Veelas coming, it would be a real shame if Ethan missed this opportunity.
With a "pop," Ethan disappeared from the spot, actually using the Illusion Charm to enter the shadows.
At the same time, white mist began to spread across the campsite, starting as a rather thin layer, but within a few seconds, it became so thick that it was impossible to see things more than a meter away.
Ethan's Misty Cloud spell, although he could use a black mist or other colored versions, he didn't want to startle the British Ministry of Magic at this moment.
The ordinary version was sufficient.
The leprechauns, who were originally trying to escape, were overjoyed when they saw the thick fog.
Instead of running outwards, they continued to rush towards the depths, which was Ethan's direction.
They wanted to use the fog to shake off the Veelas' pursuit.
Ethan was happy to see this scene unfold.
In the mist, after the leprechauns passed by, Ethan silently opened the Nibelungen.
Due to the cover of the fog, the Veelas had no idea where they were running.
They were already relying on their senses to pursue in the mist.
By the time the mist cleared ahead and they realized something was wrong, there was no way back.
And opposite them was a group of rather strange things.
After doing all this, Ethan also directly activated the Portkey and left without hesitation.
After Ethan returned, the mist covering the campsite began to dissipate.
The leprechauns, seeing that the Veelas had disappeared behind them, immediately hugged each other, jumping and cheering, indeed using the mist to get rid of those annoying Veelas.
"Ethan, you're back!"
In the rather depressing living room, Nagini exclaimed directly upon Ethan's return.
Hearing Nagini's words, the other girls immediately raised their heads.
They had just been worried about what happened to Ethan, although they all looked quite calm when he left.
But it was impossible to say that they weren't worried at all; they were just trying to reassure Ethan at the time.
Especially Cassandra and Fleur, who had both received messages from their families that Fudge's life was unknown, which made them even more worried.
Even a Minister of Magic was left in an unknown state of life or death during this disturbance, which showed how chaotic the scene was, how strong the opponent was, and how much pressure Ethan, as the target, had to face.
After all, although Fudge wasn't very strong, as the Minister of Magic, he always brought a large group of people with him when he traveled.
Afterwards, Ethan also told them what happened after the few of them left.
Of course, Ethan only told them what he could say.
At the same time, he also learned about the information they had. The Delacour family and the French Ministry of Magic had gone together to help suppress those rampaging magical creatures.
And Cassandra's father had also gone with several colleagues.
"Fudge's life is unknown, what exactly happened?"
Ethan was particularly interested in this and immediately asked them.
"I don't know. My dad said Fudge was attacked, his life is unknown, and he's been sent to St. Mungo's."
Cassandra spread her hands, she only knew that much.
Her own father only sent two messages and then disappeared, but he chatted a lot with her mother, but she didn't know either.
Fleur's father sent a lot of messages, and at the moment, his group was slacking off over there.
Given the relationship between France and Britain, everyone dislikes the other, and it would be good if they didn't step on them now, how could they possibly help.
But he didn't go into detail about this, probably because he didn't want it to spread or something.
"Alright!"
"However, your dad should be fine. I just met Amelia Bones, she came from there. If something happened to your dad, she would have told me. Since she didn't say anything, basically nothing happened."
After chatting for a while, Ethan put his arm around Fleur and walked towards the room.
Cassandra and the others also exchanged glances before returning to their respective rooms.
After all, they really didn't sleep much last night, especially Ethan and Fleur.
Lying on the bed with Fleur in his arms, Ethan didn't make any moves. After placing his hand in a suitable position, he was also thinking about whether the Veela version of the Magic Blood would work.
Veelas are also considered magical creatures, and Fleur and the others will definitely increase their bloodline concentration if they take the Veela version of the Magic Blood.
He just didn't know if they would revert to their ancestors and inherit the ability to turn into bird heads.
Ethan was struggling with this.
Chapter 236: Troubles of the Ministry of Magic
The next day, by the time everyone gathered in the dining room, it was already noon.
After lunch, Ethan and the others sat on the sofa, flipping through the Daily Prophet.
Without a doubt, with such a big event happening, and at a venue with 100,000 people, the events couldn't be covered up at all.
It would definitely be disclosed, as for how much of the content was true and how much was false, it was hard to judge.
But all in all, there were some news inside that Ethan and the others didn't know.
"Muggles Attacked, Dark Mark Appears at the Scene, Ministry of Magic Panicked, Criminals Not Caught... Lax Security, Dark Wizards Still at Large, Bringing Shame to the Country!"
Fleur exclaimed in disbelief as she looked at the newspaper headlines.
The reporters in Britain are really daring to write, completely disregarding the Ministry of Magic's face, really brave!
It's just that this seems different from what Ethan said last night!
Wasn't it a large group of wizards going to rob Ethan of his Galleons?
How did it become Death Eaters and the Dark Mark?
