Chapter 14: A war without a winner (14)

In a dark room in Parkinson Manor, Draco Malfoy, who was on the Auror blacklist, was sitting on an armchair with dull eyes, with the latest issue of the Daily Prophet spread out in front of him.

Defeated!

In the blink of an eye, he was completely defeated!

Draco Malfoy really couldn't understand what had happened to the world and why it had changed so quickly, making him feel strange and helpless.

The war has clearly just begun, and the Dark Lord has just led countless dark wizards into Hogwarts Castle with overwhelming force.

But just for a moment, they lost inexplicably.

A large number of Death Eaters under the Dark Lord were killed in that gloomy castle, and even Malfoy almost lost his life.

If Snape hadn't disappeared inexplicably, which made him feel panicked and gave up following the Death Eaters into Hogwarts Castle, he might have turned into a cold corpse like other dark wizards.

What Malfoy couldn't accept the most was that it was obvious that the Dark Lord had killed the savior Potter with his own hands and was trying to turn the tide of the war on his own, but... he was actually killed by Albert Anderson in full view of the public.

There wasn't even a decent battle between the two sides. Voldemort was killed by Albert Anderson when everyone was caught off guard. Also killed was the future and life of all Death Eaters and Dark Wizards.

They were defeated so completely and so unexpectedly.

If Draco hadn't run in time and fast enough, he might have followed in the footsteps of his other colleagues, which made him so frightened that he even needed to rely on sedatives to keep himself calm.

"It's time to take your medicine, honey."

Pansy came to Malfoy holding a cup of potion that bubbled like earth, and handed Malfoy the compound potion that she finally bought from the black market.

As a remnant of Voldemort and a former Death Eater, Draco Malfoy naturally had a difficult life. He would disguise himself as a distant cousin from the Parkinson family and come to take care of Pansy during her pregnancy in order to continue to stay by his wife's side.

Although this was an extremely annoying thing, Draco Malfoy now had no reaction to his need to dress up as a woman. After being manipulated into changing into women's clothes, he saw the real person in the hall. Mr Parkinson listens to an interview with interim minister Kingsley on the radio.

"I can only wrong you in the near future. As for Eileen, there is no need to worry. She has quietly left the UK and traveled around the world. Even if people from the Ministry of Magic have suspicions, it will be difficult to find any flaws." Mr. Parkinson said Arrangements for Malfoy.

"Dad, is the situation really bad?" Pansy couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, the situation has changed so fast." Mr. Parkinson turned down the volume of the radio and shook his head. "We thought it would take a few months for Kingsley to secure his position, but no one expected that he would only be able to secure his position." It only took two days to get everyone’s approval, completely disrupting our original plan.”

If they had gone according to the original plan, the purebloods would have hoped to make the other party compromise on certain things through a deal with Kingsley, but they couldn't think of such a thing now. ….

"What should Draco do?" Pansy looked worried.

"The best thing that can happen is to find an opportunity to surrender to the Ministry of Magic." Mr. Parkinson glanced at Draco and said what he thought of while listening to the radio.

"Surrender?" Everyone was stunned.

"The status of a Death Eater is very bad, but as long as you have never killed anyone and the crime is not serious, you can reduce your sentence by actively cooperating with the Ministry of Magic. If you donate a large sum of galleons at that time, you should be able to get rid of it in two or three years. Bai was released from prison.”

"As for the issue of using Veritaserum to interrogate prisoners, there is actually no need to worry at all. As long as you have money and the antidote to Veritaserum, this thing will be useless, and it can also help Draco escape and clear his name."

"That's really great. Then you won't have to hide anymore." After listening to her father's analysis, Pansy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She looked at her husband who was a little distracted and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, everything is fine." Everything will be fine, and my children and I will wait for you to come back."

"Oh, will they really let me, Voldemort's remnant, go?" Malfoy showed a bitter expression.

"As long as you make a good deal with Kingsley, he will definitely not mind letting you go. After all, there are many employees in the Ministry of Magic who are forced to commit crimes with Voldemort. It is impossible for the Ministry of Magic to kill everyone. They also need Set an example and appease other wizards." Mr. Parkinson knew the rules of the game at the Ministry of Magic.

The biggest problem now is to hide Malfoy and wait for the right time to let him appear.

Just as he was thinking this, Mrs. Parkinson appeared outside the hall clutching a letter from an owl with a restless face.

"What's wrong?" Mr. Parkinson noticed something strange about his wife.

"Letter from the Ministry of Magic." Mrs. Parkinson said tremblingly. "They seem to think Draco is hiding in our manor and plan to search..."

"What should we do now?" Pansy was completely panicked.

"Don't worry, we've long expected this might happen, haven't we?" After reading the contents of the letter, Mr. Parkinson looked calm on the surface, but his back was already soaked in cold sweat.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, it would have been completely over. Just being accused of hiding a wanted criminal would be enough.

Fortunately, Gadwin, who took over as the director of the Auror Office, was polite and sent a letter in advance to remind him of the search of the manor.

However, what Mr. Parkinson didn’t know was that the friendly Auror Office Director in his mind, Mr. Gadwin Robards, had actually led a group of Aurors to hand over the Parkinson family’s estate to him after receiving the intelligence. They were surrounded, not even an owl could escape.

Sending a letter to the other party before the search is actually a courtesy to everyone. In Kingsley's words, there is no need to make the relationship too tense.

Therefore, when the Aurors broke into the Parkinson family manor for a routine search, they still behaved extremely politely.

The members of the Parkinson family were friendly invited into the hall, and Gavin Robards personally communicated with them to ask for some news about Draco Malfoy. The Aurors use some kind of magical detector to walk around the manor, searching for fugitives who may be hiding. ….

Of course, everything went as smoothly as Mr. Parkinson expected. Although they expressed doubts about Draco's transformation into Ms. Erin, after urgent communication with Erin's family to confirm that it was happening, they ignored it lightly. .

"Sorry for disturbing everyone."

After Gadwin Robards was about to say goodbye and leave, the assistant next to him handed him a report on the search process for him to sign.

"No, no, I can understand. If we meet Draco, we will definitely persuade him to surrender to the Ministry of Magic. The child was only affected by his family." Mr. Parkinson said polite words to pave the way for the follow-up. However, they found that the Aurors who were about to leave suddenly stopped.

"Is there anything else?"

Gadwin Robards suddenly asked someone to bring a basin filled with water, and said apologetically, "There is also the last process, which you also know. We are just doing a routine search. Can I trouble you now?" Use the water in the basin to wash your face."

The Parkinson family looked at each other, wondering what the Ministry of Magic was doing, but their intuition told them that the situation seemed a bit bad. However, under the gaze of more than a dozen Aurors, they still had to wash their faces. Fortunately, nothing happened, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ms. Eileen, you are the only one left."

Gadwin Robards actually knew very well that this guy was Draco Malfoy, because according to intelligence, that guy was hiding in this manor. If he couldn't find him, there was a high probability that the guy was pretending to be someone else. , and the woman in front of him is very suspicious.

Sure enough, when the young lady named Eileen gingerly held up water to wash her face, part of her skin seemed to have melted, and her original facial features returned to that of Draco Malfoy.

Before the Parkinson family could react, the professional Aurors had already pulled out their wands and pointed them at him.

Before that, Gadwin had already asked the Parkinson family to put all their wands on the table some distance away from them.

Therefore, this arrest operation was undoubtedly quite successful, and it also brought the Parkinson family into trouble.

"Mr. Parkinson." Gadwin narrowed his eyes and looked at the owner of the manor, UU Reading www.uukanshu. net "I don't know if you know about this, but there's no doubt you're in trouble."

As he spoke, Gadwin asked the Auror next to him to bring a metal bracelet to the other party, and reminded him kindly, "For the reputation of the Parkinson family, I hope that your family will not leave the UK without permission in the next period of time. And try our best to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic’s investigation to clear the suspicion.”

"I will." Mr. Parkinson said with a stiff face. He never thought that things would turn out like this. Didn't they already successfully deceive the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic? Why did Draco let people do it? Caught?

"Let's go, Mr. Malfoy. I hope you won't make any pointless resistance. No matter how powerful you are, you will never be a match for a group of us."

Gadwin looked up and down at the young Death Eater in women's clothing and reminded him kindly, "Mr. Kingsley has authorized us to use black magic during the capture of extremely vicious criminals, and even use Ava when necessary." Dakeldor kills enemies who try to escape."

However, Gadwin did not relax his vigilance, and before bringing the person back to the Ministry of Magic, he first knocked down Draco Malfoy.

He never looked down upon any Death Eater.

"Go and investigate Ms. Eileen's situation, and notify Lord Kingsley to hold a press conference." Gadwin made the arrangements in advance in an orderly manner. He didn't know whether it was because of bad taste, but the Aurors did not Instead of changing Malfoy's clothes, he was asked to appear hurriedly in women's clothing in front of reporters' cameras.

This undoubtedly directly aroused the curiosity of reporters and became an extremely topical event. When countless people talked about this incident, Kingsley's reputation was further enhanced, and everyone was full of confidence in their new minister.
