With the end of the inspection, all the ten narrow compartments on the Knight Bus disappeared... replaced by more than twenty hard leather sofa seats that suddenly appeared.
Jon Hart, disguised as "David Jolman", sat in a back position; he waved his wand, conjured a belt, and tied himself to the hard leather sofa. Used as a seat belt.
Amos Diggory on the side looked a little curious, but also a little puzzled.
Only a loud "bang" was heard, and the car started suddenly...Jon was almost thrown out by the Cavalier Bus, but the temporary "safety belt" played a vital role.
The companions on the side were not as transported as he did. Several wizards, including Amos Diggory, couldn't help but slam their heads against the sofa in the front row.
Of course, not everyone is so embarrassed with them... Most of the Aurors still maintain a stable posture in this situation, as if inertia has not affected them at all.
Especially Rufus Scrimgeour, he sat there as steady as Big Ben.
The dingy Amos Diggory returned to his seat, covering his head while he studied Mr. Yorman... He conjured a twine and tied himself to the sofa.
Since Jon is sitting by the window, he can look out the window. They are now driving steadily and fast along some weird streets.
This knight bus always hits the sidewalk, but it can't hit anything; the rows of lamp posts, letter boxes and trash cans all jumped and avoided when the car came, waiting for it to pass. , It returns to its original position.
The conductor Stan Sampark looked at them curiously from time to time, but he was afraid of Scrimgeour's old lion-like face, and he dared not ask anything.
The knight bus swiftly moved forward, washing away the bushes, bollards at the top of the pedestrian island, telephone booths and trees... until more than an hour later, the rapidly changing scenery outside the window began to slow down
After dozens of seconds, the car also stopped completely on the side of the road.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Stan Sunpark gathered up his courage and said, "Blackpool is here!"
……
Led by Rufus Scrimgeour, they got off the Knight Bus one by one.
Then they all looked around curiously...
To be honest, the surrounding situation looks a bit miserable.
Broken floors, collapsed streets, and uprooted trees... these destroyed scenes can be seen everywhere.
The staff of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement were dispatched last night. They transformed this city destroyed by Death Eaters and giants a little bit like it was caused by a hurricane.
It's a pity that traces of magical destruction can still be seen everywhere.
Rufus Scrimgeour gathered everyone together and sternly shouted: "Listen, our current identity is a Muggle rescue team from London; you have a pile of Muggles in your backpack. Don’t reveal your identity..."
"...Then we will act in two ways. The Aurors are led by me, holding the black magic detector to detect the traces of the black magic; as for the people in the misinformation office, you are responsible for leading them to find the giants. The trail, their footsteps are quite obvious!"
"I understand, Director Scrimgeour, leave it to me!" Dirk Krasway nodded solemnly.
"Well... we will start in two ways now!" Scrimgeour ordered decisively.
……
Following this group of Fantastic Animal Management and Control Department employees, Jon's brows can't help but frown.
This kind of action plan means that he and the Aurors will part ways, and if they are in danger, their resistance will be greatly reduced; moreover, Kingsley and Tonks, two members of the Order of the Phoenix, can't help him.
If it weren't for the advantage of the prophet to know that Rufus Scrimgeour would not take refuge in Voldemort, then he would probably suspect Scrimgeour now.
Kingsley was also clearly aware of this. When the two sides left, he quietly glanced at Jon with a questioning look; however, Jon still shook his head slightly at him, beckoning him not to act rashly.
After all, now that the Death Eaters are in the dark and they are in the light, any strange behavior may cause trouble.
A group of people continue to move forward
From the corner of Jon's eye, he glanced at Walton McNeill from time to time without leaving a trace.
This executioner who belongs to the Committee for Disposal of Dangerous Creatures, whose true identity is a loyal supporter of Voldemort...At this time of the original book, he should have been imprisoned in Azkaban because of the defeat of the Department of Mysteries in the First World War; but now due to a coincidence, He did not participate in the battle of the Department of Mysteries, nor did he expose the identity of the Death Eaters, and still became their companion as an employee of the Ministry of Magic.
So Jon has been paying attention to McNeill's movements nonchalantly during this period... However, the other party behaved more normally than himself on the road, without any additional actions, and had no intention of contacting the Death Eater companions.
In desperation, Jon had to continue to watch the changes.
The speed of their actions is not fast, because if they encounter refugees on the road, they need to stay and distribute some relief supplies... in order to maintain their status as "relief team members."
Of course, this trip is not without gain.
……
A few hours later, they found a lot of footprints on the beach in Blackpool.
These are about three feet in length and close to one foot in width...Such large footprints ~EbookFREE.me~ obviously will not be left by humans; the possibility of footprints belonging to giants is very large.
Although these footprints have different directions, no matter which direction they are, they disappear at the junction between the ocean and the beach.
This makes people a little puzzled. Is it possible that the mysterious people transported giants from the sea and then transported them back to the sea...Looking at the number of footprints on the beach, there are at least twenty giants and they want By sea transportation, this is almost impossible!
The members of the misinformation office began to get busy-some were measuring the size and depth of the footprints; some took out their wands and tracked the remaining breath on the footprints; and others, on the heavily damaged roads and streets. an examination……
Jon also bends down, pretending to observe.
Suddenly, his face changed--
Because within his gaze... the actions of Death Eater Walton McNeill suddenly became a little weird.
