The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

If it had been anyone else, surrounded by so many dementors, they would have fainted. But Tom, who wears the crown, is not afraid of the desperate atmosphere created by the dementors. He is completely immune.

Bones' arrival alarmed the dementors, and they drifted towards Bones with ill intentions.

Bones saw the dementors ready to move, as if waking up from a dream. At this time, she had no time to think about the relationship between the masked man and the dementors. She knew that she should prepare to take out the official documents from the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible to calm these dark creatures. She believed that the patronus charms of her ancestors were enough to deter these crazy guys.

Just then, the masked man moved. He stretched out a hand, and all the moving dementors seemed to be frozen, daring not to take another half step forward.

After all the dementors stopped, Tom took a few steps forward and walked to Bones.

"Hello, Secretary Bones."

Only then did Bones see the masked man's appearance clearly. She recognized this guy in an instant - he was the "person" she met at the Pig's Head Bar that day.

She will never mistake this mask!

Before, she thought that the masked man was Dumbledore's crony, but now she was not sure - who had ever seen a wizard who could live in harmony with dementors! The two can live in harmony, just like a hungry wolf and a fat sheep becoming good friends.

So she thought, this thing might not be some strange magical animal, right? Or maybe an extraordinarily smart Dementor was born over the long years, and it eventually evolved into the King of Dementors?

"I didn't expect you to have such an identity." She said with a complicated expression.

Tom:…

Tom didn't know how to answer Bones' words.

"Why are you here?" he asked.

Bones informed Tom of his purpose.

"How about it? Are you willing to send some dementors to help me search Knockturn Alley? Those prisoners who are caught will eventually be escorted to Azkaban, which is a good thing for your tribe." Bones She looked at Tom with some anxiety. She didn't know whether the negotiation could proceed smoothly after the talker appeared among the dementors.

After all, there is a big difference between fooling a higher intelligent creature who is as smart as a wizard and fooling a group of fools.

"Why should my tribe and I help you?" Tom was keenly aware that there seemed to be a loophole in Bones' words. In this loophole, he heard the sound of extortion.

"Because... the captured wizards will be sent to Azkaban, and you will have more fresh food." Bones' eyes flickered slightly.

"Aren't criminal wizards always sent to Azkaban? If I don't get out this time, won't you send people here?"

Dementors and Azkaban are the only prison institutions in the British wizarding world, and even the entire wizarding world. Is there any more absolute monopoly than this in the world? nonexistent.

As far as Tom knows, the Ministry of Magic in other countries only has relatively simple short-term prisons, or customized prisons like Nurmengard. The only large prison that can hold many wizards for a long time is Azkaban.

This is a pure seller's market. Even if Tom rejects Bones' request, can Bones still turn against him? If you fall out with me, where are your prisoners, Gringotts?

Or do you build an institution to temporarily detain wizards who commit minor crimes in the Ministry of Magic?

Bones: ...

Sure enough, it has become difficult! She was now wary of this mysterious guy: it was too suspicious. According to Bones's judgment, this creature has been involved with Dumbledore, and there must be very close cooperation between the two - they joined forces to overthrow Fudge's rule. It was with their help that he took the position of minister.

When she didn't know the identity of the masked man before, she wasn't that worried. As for Dumbledore and his henchmen, it was normal. This kind of thing had happened countless times in history - the Malfoy family was the leader among them. Being ignored by Dumbledore is not a bad thing, it is better than being ignored by a pure-blood noble. But now Bones is anxious, because this seems to be no longer an internal fight among wizards, but a racial confrontation.

What is Dumbledore going to do? How could he collude with an alien like a dementor?

After a little analysis, Bones felt that Dumbledore wouldn't be able to do something like this because of his personality, so maybe there was a hidden secret behind it. The identity of the masked man is still open to question.

After figuring out this link, Bones was no longer so nervous. She felt that the top priority was to persuade this guy to send out dementors to help her clean up Knockturn Alley. Well, question Dumbledore later.

"Without your help, even if we catch people, we won't catch many."

Tom didn't know that in Minister Bones' mind, he had almost become a foreign careerist who challenged the wizard's status. He was just thinking about what kind of price he should offer as a condition for sending "troops".

"There seems to be no official communication channel between the Ministry of Magic and the Dementors," Tom said calmly, "I hope you can set up a Dementor Liaison Office or a Dementor Office, and I will be in charge of magic. Communication between the Ministry and the Dementor clan.”

When Bones heard this, his first reaction was to search in his mind to see if there was an agency in the Ministry of Magic that fit the description of the masked man. Then she was surprised to find that in the huge Ministry of Magic, there was no dedicated department responsible for contacting the dementors!

Generally speaking, non-human creatures should be handled by the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures, but there are seven offices under this department (Beast Office, Alien Office, Ghost Office, Goblin Liaison Office, Centaur Liaison Office, Pest Information Office, Error Information Office) offices), none of which deal with the management of dark creatures.

If Dementors were classified as ghosts, the Ghost Office would be able to control them, but they are really not ghosts!

Bones thought about it for a moment, and after some careful consideration, she found that she could only set up another agency specifically responsible for contacting the dementors. And this organization must be very important, because it is responsible for connecting with Azkaban. Those look-a-joke offices in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures are definitely not the place to be.

"Then I'll simply set up an Azkaban Liaison Office, under the jurisdiction of the Magical Law Enforcement Division."

Tom naturally had no objection.

The two discussed for a while, and finally reached a consensus: Tom sent dementors to help Minister Bones capture the dark wizards in Knockturn Alley, and at the same time suppress their ability to escape. In return, Bones will establish an Azkaban Liaison Office at the Ministry of Magic after Operation "Tornado" is over, responsible for all Azkaban-related affairs. This department is in the hands of Tom.
