[Comprehensive] The Wizard and the Fugitive

Not long ago, Draco had told Denis to go find Rita Skeeter and make her the mouthpiece of the Slytherins in the British wizarding world.If she doesn't agree, threaten her with the word beetle.

Deni didn't understand it at first, but the world of wizards is not a mystery to vampires. Considering the recent events, he can easily guess what the so-called beetles mean.

An illegal Animagus, of little use to them, would be enough to be the Ministry of Magic's go-to for a bunch of mad wizards.

But it wasn't for nothing that Draco chose Rita without hesitation.He knows that the notorious reporter Si is a smart person, she knows how to choose and how to fight for the best interests for herself.At this time, the best way to benefit from the secret war between the Ministry of Magic and Slytherin is by no means to rely on the Animagus form to steal gossip.

Facing Denis' skeptical look, Rita smiled confidently, took out a document from her bag and handed it over.

"What's this?" Denis raised his eyebrows and asked, but didn't reach out to pick it up.

Without pushing, Rita unwrapped the parchment herself, spread it out on the table, and showed him the Ministry of Magic's seal.

"This is the Animagus application I just passed yesterday." Rita said, "There is a guy in the department in charge of this matter who is short of money—who in the British magic world is not short of money—I'm leaving A back door was opened, and several approval steps were omitted.”

Deni nodded, leaned forward slightly, glanced at the contents on the parchment, and leaned back in the chair: "Since your Animagus form has been exposed, why do we need you?"

"Cooperating with you, I'm afraid I don't need any Animagus." Rita said, "Master Malfoy will tell me what to write, right?"

Denis rested his chin on one hand, stared at her thoughtfully for a while, and then suddenly grinned.He stood up, forced himself to be lazy, and stretched out his right hand to Rita Skeeter.

Rita stood up immediately: "So, I passed the test?"

Denis nodded casually: "It can be said so. Happy cooperation, Miss Skeeter."

Rita laughed: "Happy cooperation, Mr. Bartolomé."

……

The British Ministry of Magic is undercurrent.With the revival of Diagon Alley and the addition of the Arctic Circle route, the economy is starting to turn around, and on the surface, it seems promising.The wizards are all working hard for a new life, and even the Slytherin retrial case that caused a hot wave did not stay in everyone's sight for too long.When wizards don't have enough time to be busy with their own lives, no one wants to allocate limited energy to Malfoy, Zabini, Parkinson, and Marcus who have never met.

These Slytherin masters and ladies used to be so far away from them that they could only be masked with disdain to hide their inner jealousy.But now, these people have fallen from a height, and what is left is an old and dilapidated manor.

They are still dismissive, but this dismissal is no longer a whitewash for jealousy, but an expression of their superiority.

Look, so what if Malfoy got the Arctic Circle route?Still have to obediently hand it over to the Ministry of Magic.

They are no longer the largest family in Britain.The current Patriarch Malfoy doesn't even dare to go back to his own manor, it's not as good as Zabini!

You ask how the wizards know that Draco doesn't live in the manor?Of course it was reported in the Daily Prophet!

Everyone knows that he is actually hiding in the Muggle city. Up to now, the blockade of Malfoy Manor has not been completely opened, and he has not asked the Ministry of Magic to return the house elves belonging to the family, nor has he looked for new ones. go home.

Countless British wizards were immersed in the sense of superiority they imagined from the clues, satirized Draco's "cowardice", and laughed that he was scared out of his wits by an attack from Oro, the Ministry of Magic.No one noticed, and before they knew it, their "catch Malfoy" had slowly turned into "attack Malfoy". "Cunning, sinister" Malfoy became "cowardly, poor" Malfoy.

They laughed at Draco for being a coward, not as good as his father in every way, for forgetting so easily how he had once regarded a helpless young man as the most odious Dark wizard, clamoring for the Ministry of Magic to sentence him to Dementor's Kiss.

Now, under the careful teaching of William, Draco has become a real dark wizard, and these people regard him as a soft persimmon that the Ministry of Magic can squeeze and crumble, and make up for his misfortunes after returning to England, and then Sarcasm him, laugh at him, sympathize with him.

What happened at Hogwarts or in the Dark Lord's camp during the war is remote to most people.Everything they know comes from Hermione's biography of Harry Potter, or the recollections of various "participants".

Except for Granger, who is famous for his integrity, no one can guarantee the truth of the words, and from Granger's book, there is no direct evidence that Draco is a Death Eater.

She said that Draco and the Dark Lord lived under the same roof for a long time, but that was because the Dark Lord took over Malfoy Manor.She said Draco tried to kill Dumbledore, but in fact Draco only used a Disarming Charm on Dumbledore.She said Draco was asked by the Death Eaters to identify Harry Potter, but in fact, his hesitation saved Potter's life.

All this does not mean that Draco is a Death Eater, but can be used as evidence of Draco's innocence, proving that he is not willing to stay among Death Eaters.

And no matter how high the magic world is, 220 Baker Street will always be safe.Draco spent the most time thinking about how to survive William's potion every day, and then took a little care of the situation of Diagon Alley and the airline, and calculated the debt of the Ministry of Magic.

By the way, it can't be said that it is completely safe. Apart from the matter of the magic junction, he and William also have to face the occasional harassment from the detectives and doctors next door.

The Eros Potion made Sherlock unable to restrain himself from expressing his deepest emotions to Watson, and the fanaticism was far beyond his own acceptance range.

So, after the effect of the medicine passed, before Watson had time to be embarrassed, Sherlock himself had already chosen to escape.

Interestingly, even though the Eros potion has embarrassed these two people who are not going to face emotional entanglements, they still insist on getting together and continuing to investigate the case for Scotland Yard.And after a busy day, these two people often knock on the door of No. 220 as soon as they return to Baker Street. Naturally, it seems that No. 220 is their home, and they go back to No. 221b after dinner.

During the dinner time on the 220th, the atmosphere was weird for several days. As long as no one spoke, they would fall into anxiety, and the silence was suffocating.
