I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - #134 - Chapter 134 Arrest from the Ministry of Magic

Ian walked out of the room and went to the lobby on the first floor of the Leaky Cauldron. He simply ordered some food and after a few mouthfuls, he was ready to go to the store. After all, there was only an hour left before the agreed time.

“You seem to have something on your mind?” Old Tom asked curiously when he saw Ian eating absentmindedly.

“You don’t want to be a detective, but instead run a bar here. It’s really an insult to your talent.” Ian replied with a smile. “It’s nothing to worry about, but I do have something. I bought a shop in Diagon Alley this morning and I’ll pick it up later as promised.”

“Merlin! It’s only the first day of summer vacation, and you went out to buy a shop early in the morning? It’s as easy as going out to buy an ice cream in the morning!” Old Tom looked a little unbelievable.

Then he asked curiously: “Whose shop is it? I haven’t heard of anyone putting it up for sale recently.”

“It’s more troublesome to buy ice cream than in a store because I don’t know which flavor is the best.” He responded jokingly. “Not on the main street, in the alley next to Ollivander’s Wand Shop, Poppy’s Candy Shop.”

“Old Stella’s property, how long has he been dead…” Old Tom sounded a little sad. “Do you need me to accompany you later? I know his son Les, he is not a serious person.”

Ian was a little touched when he heard this. Old Tom left his own business alone and ran to look at the house with him. It was obvious that he treated him sincerely.

“Thank you. However, I don’t need to trouble you. We have already registered at the Ministry of Magic this morning. The contract is already with me. I will just go and receive the key later.”

After hearing this, Old Tom said with some relief: “Just go to the Ministry of Magic, just go there. It’s a very wise approach. It seems that you are much more mature than I thought.”

I sat here for about 20 minutes, and the chat was all about safe and warm topics. After hearing that he had gone to the Ministry of Magic, Old Tom just said that he could come to him if he needed help, and ended the topic of the shop.

Moreover, from the beginning to the end, the other party did not inquire about the specific contents of the transaction, such as: how it was negotiated with Les, how many galleons the deal was for, etc.

Ian opened his pocket watch and took a look. “It’s almost time and I should go there. If nothing unexpected happens, I will stay back at the bar tonight. I guess Les won’t leave too many things for me.”

“Hahaha, you are always welcome here.” Old Tom replied with a smile.

Then Old Tom shook his head and said with some agreement: “But you are right. I watched that boy Les grow up. He is greedy and stingy, and he will not leave anything behind.”

…

It’s 6:45 pm, perhaps because of daylight saving time, the sun is still slanting in the sky, and Diagon Alley is still bustling with activity.

As Ian walked, he kept thinking about the name of his shop in his mind. As for the business type, he didn’t plan to change anything, so he chose the candy category.

He bought this shop just for fun, not to make money, so it was best to sell candies and the like. He even thought about the interaction with the new generation of children after graduation.

In short, along the way, he still couldn’t think of a suitable store name, either it was too ordinary, or it didn’t fit his aesthetic.

When he came to this small alley, Ian saw 4-5 adult wizards standing in front of his shop all the way away. Judging from the costumes, they should be a group of beaters.

This kind of striker belongs to the same office as the Auror, although he is usually a front-line combatant. But they mostly dealt with magical pranks against Muggles, such as the old recidivist Willy Widdershin who repeatedly caused the sewage to back up in the Muggle neighbor’s toilet.

Compared to the British Muggle world, beaters are somewhat similar to community police officers, while Aurors, who track and arrest dark wizards, are special police.

Although he saw that his shop was blocked, Ian did not panic at all. All the fear came from the lack of firepower. This sentence was confirmed again. And he is also very interested in it and wants to see what joy these little Karamies will bring to him.

The distance between them was getting closer and closer, and Ian found that several beaters were faintly surrounding Les, while the leader was yelling something loudly.

“Les, the agreed time has come. I’m here to receive the keys.” He said in a calm tone. At the same time, he glanced at the furnishings in the store and found that there was no trace of tidying up and moving. Comparing the situation with him, he understood instantly. The whole story.

Obviously, this Les was not satisfied with the 300,000 Galleons, and during the day, the other party obviously went to find out his details, instead of organizing and moving as agreed.

Perhaps it was discovered that he was an outsider, not from a large pure-blood family, and had no backing, which led to the current scene.

“I underestimated the greed of human nature.” Ian thought to himself.

Although he knew what was going on, he still wanted to see how the play was rehearsed. He wanted to see something new after being bored for a long time.

“Ian, you’re here. These batters are like plaster sticking to me…” Before Les could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the leader.

“Ian Titus! I am Chapman Noah, the leader of the Strike Team responsible for the security of Diagon Alley and London.”

The other party first gave a brief introduction. After seeing Ian nod, the conversation changed:

“We were following a case before. Mrs. Weber lost a huge amount of gold in her manor three years ago, and we learned that you also exchanged gold for a huge amount of Galleons in Gringotts today.”

Having said this, Chapman paused for a moment, put on a stern expression, and then said:

“This has to arouse our suspicion. Of course, it is just suspicion, but this also requires you to go to the Auror office with us to assist in the investigation. Although this may bring you reputational damage and be mistaken for a criminal by your classmates. Perhaps You broke your wand and were imprisoned in Azkaban, but this was your only chance to prove your innocence.”

Ian looked at the other party with some amusement in his heart. Don’t be too obvious when it comes to intimidating children. But it’s normal. Under normal circumstances, a 15-year-old orphan going to school would be frightened if he was dragged out of the Auror office to assist in the investigation.

“No! That’s not the case. Chapman, I have proven Ian’s innocence to you. Moreover, you just said that as long as I testify, you will not arrest Ian.” Les seemed to be stimulated. Here we are, speaking hoarsely.

Ian turned to look at him, and it must be said that Les’s acting skills were still very good. If it weren’t for the release of Legilimency, the other party’s words almost deceived him.

The leading hitter seemed to be waiting for Rice’s words, and suddenly said in a very helpless tone: “I’m not lying to you. But you have to guarantee the other party, and you have to pay at least 200,000 Galleons as a deposit. …”

After hearing the 200,000 galleons, Les said with some disappointment: “But…but this is much better than breaking the wand and being imprisoned in Azkaban, where there are all terrifying dark wizards.”

“Indeed, this is much better than being imprisoned in Azkaban. So, do you choose to pay?” Chapman shrugged and said indifferently.

Les was suddenly at a loss for words and said hesitantly: “My money has been spent in the afternoon… I bought real estate and a manor in France, and I only have 20,000 galleons left in cash. Do you accept mortgages on real estate in France?”

“I’m sorry, this is the British Ministry of Magic.” Chapman decisively rejected Rice’s proposal.

Ian saw that the drama was almost over, and it was his turn to take the stage. After all, Les and the percussionist were singing and singing, and one with a red face and the other with a white face had been talking here for a long time, and they almost had ‘asking for money’ written on their faces. On.

It’s not like Ian has never seen this kind of thing before. He eats and asks for cards just because he has some rights. Don’t let too many people pluck their feathers. However, what makes him depressed is that this time he opened his mouth and asked for 200,000 Galleons. Are these attackers hungry for too long? Or is he too easy to bully?

What he was supposed to encounter in Knockturn Alley at noon instead happened to him in Diagon Alley… Thinking of this, he felt a little angry.

“That…Captain Chapman.” Ian deliberately made his voice sound a little panicked. “It will be 40 minutes before the Ministry of Magic closes. Let’s leave now.”

“Let’s go?” Chapman looked at Ian with some confusion, which made him not sure how to answer the question.

“Yes, I’ll go to the Auror office to assist you in the investigation.” Ian replied somewhat innocently.

In fact, Ian can solve everything quietly here. A forgetting spell is enough. No one except Dumbledore can detect the problem.

He just didn’t want to do this. To put it bluntly, he didn’t have a clear idea and wanted to go to the Ministry of Magic to cause trouble.

For a person who has awakened three times, how can Voldemort, even after his death, be able to intimidate these people for 20 years with just one name, and yet he has to be beaten here?

In fact, Ian also has another meaning, which is to take this opportunity to establish his authority. After all, he plans to settle in the UK in the future. If we don’t set up our authority and raise the flag, we are guaranteed to encounter similar things in the future. We should use this opportunity to solve everything once and for all.
