Harry Potter’s Strongest Senior

Chapter 275 Kidnapping Astoria

【Harry Potter: The Strongest Senior】 【】

Dumbledore and Sean accompanied Harry and Draco to go shopping in Lamu, and even watched an ancient Egyptian-style stage play in the evening.

Dumbledore was in a good mood. He destroyed two soul fragments at once, which made him less stressed.

In the UK, a vicious attack took place tonight. The attackers were the wanted Barty Jr. and Wilson, who had just escaped from prison.

The victim turned out to be one of the 28 pure-blood families in the UK, Astoria Greengrass, Daphne's biological sister and Draco's elementary school girl.

Barty Jr. and the two broke into the Greengrass Manor, injured the Greengrass couple, and forcibly abducted Astoria.

Minister Fudge attached great importance to this kidnapping case and convened all department heads and supervisors overnight to discuss countermeasures.

"Minister Fudge, the recent Azkaban prison breakout and tonight's Greengrass kidnapping case are enough to illustrate one thing." Amelia Bones, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, stood up from her chair stand up.

"The mysterious man is back."

"Amelia, there is no evidence. By saying such things, you really want to cause panic among the public?" Fudge said dissatisfiedly, sitting in the chief seat.

"I don't mean to cause panic. Go out and see what the general public in the wizarding world thinks." Director Bones defended.

"Just because the public has wild thoughts and panic, we should find ways to appease such emotions." Fudge said righteously.

No minister would want the situation to be turbulent during his time in office, let alone a conservative like Fudge.

"But why did the Death Eaters attack the Greengrass family tonight and kidnap their eldest daughter?" Rufus Scrimgeour, the Auror supervisor with long tawny hair and thick eyebrows, asked.

This is also a character with seniority. In the original plot, after Fudge was laid off, he was promoted two levels to the position of minister.

"The mysterious man has always given a certain amount of living space to pure-blood families. Moreover, the Greengrass family has always remained neutral. What is the purpose of this purposeful kidnapping?"

Pierce Thicknesse, who had a goatee, a slicked back hair, and a straight suit, said, "Is this a warning from the mysterious man to the pure-blood family? He wants to withdraw the last bit of tolerance towards the neutral family?"

"Tolerance? Pierce, you seem to have used this word inappropriately." Director Bones said.

Pierce smiled coquettishly. This deputy director with a somewhat cowardly character actually took over the post of director after Director Bones was assassinated by a Death Eater in the original book, and even more so after his soul was stolen by a Death Eater. , relying on Voldemort's support, succeeded Rufus Scrimgeour and became the puppet minister.

"Fudge, I think I should stay at home. I don't worry about Chris being home." It was Barty Crouch Sr. who spoke. "I go first."

"Barty!" Fudge called him.

"Let him go," Bones said.

Before Bones, Old Barty was the Director of the Legal Enforcement Department, an extremely important department in the Ministry of Magic.

At that time, he was running for minister, and he had the highest reputation, but unexpectedly his son Barty Jr. was revealed to be a Death Eater. Barty Sr.'s support rate plummeted, and he was eventually transferred to the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation.

Bones knew Old Batty, and Old Batty must have been very uncomfortable tonight. His son came out to commit crimes again, and he couldn't stay any longer even to avoid suspicion.

That night, the Ministry of Magic sent out a large number of personnel to search for the whereabouts of Barty Jr. and Wilson. Knockturn Alley, which has always been a safe place, was turned upside down by the powerful Ministry of Magic tonight.

At about three o'clock in the morning, Dumbledore's communication conch came on. After it was connected, Constantine's excited voice came out.

"Professor, it's done, it's done, Snape has completed the antidote."

On the other end of the conch, Snape seemed to be heard talking, and then the person on the call changed to Snape.

"Professor, we have bad news. Barty Jr. and a Death Eater attacked the Greengrass family and kidnapped their little daughter Astoria."

"Voldemort, what exactly does he want to do?" Dumbledore said.

The conversation between the two woke up Sean in the same room. Dumbledore saw Sean sitting up and said.

"Sorry, I should have cast a silencing charm."

"Professor, what happened? Has Astoria been captured by Death Eaters?" Sean was also very surprised, how could such a thing happen suddenly.

"Do you know Astoria?" Dumbledore asked.

"Um, I'm not very familiar with them. I've met them before. They're all from Slytherin. They seem to be three years younger than me."

Dumbledore pondered, "Barty Jr. and a Death Eater who had just escaped from prison attacked the Greengrass family and kidnapped Astoria."

"Why would Voldemort capture a child?"

"We just destroyed two of his Horcruxes. Perhaps we launched the operation out of revenge, but why did we choose the Greengrass family to attack?" Dumbledore fell into deep thought.

Voldemort never does anything without purpose. Dumbledore knew this when Voldemort was a student.

Sean also analyzed the kidnapping case based on the intelligence he knew.

"If it is revenge, then there should be further actions. But now that Voldemort is extremely weak and makes such a big move, the Ministry of Magic will definitely strengthen its defenses."

"If his target is only Astoria or the Greengrass family, then what is he planning and what does he want to get?"

Sean's knowledge of the Greengrass family was limited to Draco's classmates, Daphne and Astoria.

"By the way, the Greengrass family's blood disease is a well-known secret among pure-blood families. Apart from this being a bit special, I can't think of anything else."

At seven o'clock the next morning, Dumbledore woke up the two people next door. Harry and Draco were still eager to go to the street again.

"Children, we have to go back. Something happened and we have to leave now." Dumbledore said.

"Ah, I haven't had enough shopping yet." Draco said with a disappointed look on his face.

"Let's talk while we walk." Dumbledore didn't even give the two children time to wash their faces.

Sean pulled Draco and whispered, "You still want to play, something happened to Astoria."

"What's wrong?" Draco looked stunned after hearing this.

"Barty Jr. and a Death Eater kidnapped her from her home."

Draco's heart skipped a beat. Because of Sean's arrangement at Ouroboros, Draco was responsible for taking care of Astoria. Although Sean was not here, Ouroboros's mutual learning sessions were still going on as usual six nights a week.

Draco and Astoria have also gradually become familiar with each other, and their relationship is getting better and better. Although they are still simply good friends, as they grow older, this relationship will undergo wonderful changes.

After returning to London, Dumbledore sent Harry and Draco home respectively, and then rushed to the Ministry of Magic.

"Is there any news?" The first thing he said after seeing Fudge was not a greeting, but a direct inquiry.

"Not yet. We sent all the Aurors and law enforcement team out last night and found no trace of Barty Jr. and Astoria." Fudge's face didn't look good.

"Where's Astoria's reaction?" Dumbledore asked.

Trace Silk is a magic that detects the magical activities of wizards under the age of seventeen. When a minor wizard is outside school, within a certain distance of his body, whether he or others use magic, the Ministry of Magic can detect it.

"It's useless. A veteran like Barty Jr. must have blocked Astoria's magic reaction when he left Greengrass' house."

As news about Death Eaters hit the headlines one after another, the business of the Leaky Cauldron was also affected. Customers went out less for fear of encountering Death Eaters.

Snape brought the antidote from Hogwarts, and Sean took the ampoule and drank it in one gulp. The pink liquid exuded a fruity aroma.

"Oh my God, I almost forgot." Sean remembered that there was a rare plant in his space bag.

His space bag is not like Newt's suitcase. After decades of construction, the environment inside it can be called a small world, and plants and creatures can grow healthily inside.

Sean's space bag, like other wizards, has a very small space. It is probably just a closet space. It is simply used to store items. It is not practical to grow plants in it.
