Chapter 281 New York Zombies
The Auror office was large, filled with desks, separated from each other by a partition to form many cubicles.
A small half of the tables were vacant, they might have gone on a mission or a meeting, and the rest of the Aurors were busy in their respective seats.
When Rove and Margaery walked into the office, the originally noisy room seemed to press the volume down button, and the sound dropped a lot.
Everyone knows Margaery, even the trainee Aurors who have just arrived know her... not only because the girl is bright and charming, but also because she is the precious daughter of her immediate boss.
If he could catch up with her, it would save twenty years of hard work... Not to mention the Auror office, even many single wizards in the office next door were staring at this delicate rose.
But although Rose is beautiful, she has venomous thorns. Margaret has many suitors, and she has never seen any boy get close to her.
I didn't expect to see her walking into the room with a smile on her face holding a young man's arm... It was heartbreaking.
Rove only felt that every pair of strange eyes were staring at him, but he often enjoyed this kind of attention at Hogwarts, but he didn't care at all.
"Hey, Margaery." A young witch hurried over: "Mr. Kowalski is in the interrogation room, interrogating the prisoner."
"It's okay, Tracy, I'll just go to his office and wait." Margaery smiled.
Trish hummed, she ignored Margaery's weird outfit, turned her head to look at the blond boy curiously, suddenly showed surprise, and said:
"Mr Rove Scamander? Hello!"
Rove was a little surprised. "You know me?"
"Yes, there is a picture of you on the Daily Prophet." The witch looked very excited, she stretched out her hand and said:
"My name is Trish, and I noticed you from Rita Skeeter's report last year."
"I've been paying attention to the recent Black case... You rely on your keen insight to catch Pettigrew and help Black to reverse the case. It's really admirable!"
Rove shook hands with her, smiled and said, "I'm just lucky.
Trish seemed to have really paid attention to Rove for a long time. She chatted endlessly about her compliments and asked many questions.
After a while, Tracy said embarrassedly:
"Sorry, I'm a little excited, maybe I asked too much."
"It's okay, I heard a great wizard say that an excellent Auror is always curious about everything." Rove smiled.
He spoke decently without showing the slightest impatience, not at all like a thirteen-year-old boy.
Tracy led the way, and Margaret leaned close to the boy's ear, her lips were only a few inches away from him, and she asked in a low voice:
"Which great wizard said that?"
Rove lowered his voice and said, "I just said that."
Margaery almost burst into laughter, she reached out and pinched the boy's earlobe, and said softly, "Next time, tell me what I said!"
Rove rolled his eyes at Margaery, and gently patted off the girl's slender and fair hands.
A few people walked and chatted, and Rove saw all kinds of prisoners along the way, being examined by Aurors.
One of the wizards was the loudest, he yelled unconvinced:
"Why are you arresting me? I just picked up a rope, and you Aurors just randomly arrest people... Is there any law?!"
"Shut up!" a middle-aged wizard scolded, "Why don't you say that there is a wild unicorn tied behind the rope?"
Rove watched it with relish and found it very interesting, of course... provided that he was not the one being interrogated.
As several people entered the office, the Aurors became more noisy, and everyone speculated about his identity.
Trish made two cups of coffee for her, and she turned around and left the room tactfully without disturbing the two of them.
Rove sat on the sofa, and Margaery also sat down. She also raised a beautiful black silk leg and put it on the boy's lap, hehe said:
"It's ok, Little Rove, you've captured a female fan so quickly, when are you going to take her out on a date?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm a decent person!"
Rove reached out and grabbed Margery's restless leg to keep her still. He raised his head and stared at a blackboard.
The blackboard is covered with photos, and the content of each photo is horrific:
A man's lips were twisted, and he threw himself at the other man like crazy, opened his mouth to bite, tore off a lot of flesh and blood, and swallowed it directly.
There is also a photo of a witch. She grabbed a man and plucked out his eyeballs like crazy. The man opened his mouth to yell, but she bit off his tongue and spit it out...
Every photo makes me shudder.
Following Rove's gaze, Margaery said softly, "This is a recent attack. Muggles call it zombies."
"Zombie?" Rove raised his eyebrows.
"They'll go berserk and attack people like a zombie in a Muggle movie, but not enchanted."
Rove stared at the photo, looking at the pupils of those people, all gray and white, he was thoughtful.
At this time, the door was opened, and a group of dark wizards walked in. The front one was a middle-aged blond man with a short beard and a hooked nose.
The man is Queenie and Jacob's son, Margaery's dad... Horst Kowalski.
Rove's grandmother Tina and Queenie are sisters, so in terms of kinship, Horst is Rove's cousin.
Behind Horst, two Aurors followed, escorting two wizards and a corpse.
Among them was a man with red hair, his whole body was tied up, his hands were shaking like sifting chaff, and his legs twisted and twisted, as if he was dancing a grotesque dance.
Another fat wizard, with a haggard face and a bandage around the wound on his neck, seemed to have been attacked, but survived.
The body was wrapped in a white cloth, and its appearance could not be seen.
"Rove, you're back, it's great to see you!" Horst strode over and hugged him, almost tearing his whole body apart.
He looked the boy up and down carefully, and then laughed loudly, "It's much taller."
Luo Fu smiled shyly and said, "Uncle, long time no see."
"I'll talk to you later, and I'll post a few tasks."
Horst walked out of the office quickly. Apart from Rove and Margaery, there were only two Aurors left in the room, guarding the bound auburn-haired man to prevent him from breaking free and continuing to attack others.
Another fat man was the victim. He coughed and said, "Sir, I'm so thirsty, can you give me some water?"
The young Auror hesitated for a moment, glanced at the prisoner with red hair, his companion said softly: "It's okay, this guy is tied up, I can keep an eye on him."
The young Auror nodded slightly, and walked out of the room quickly, leaving only one Auror staring at the prisoner to prevent him from moving.
All the Auror's attention was on the prisoner. At this moment, the fat wizard suddenly pounced on him like a cheetah from behind.
The Auror was caught off guard and fell to the ground. The fat man slammed on top of him, bit his shoulder with his mouth wide open, and blood dripped from the bite.
The fat wizard wanted to continue to eat the Auror, but a slender vine rushed over, wrapped around his neck, and pulled him back.
The fat wizard reached into the vines that strangled his neck, arching his hips back, trying to free himself from the vines.
But the icy vines were getting tighter and tighter, the fat wizard immediately gave up the Auror, got up and rushed towards Rove and Margaery along the direction the vines were pulling.
Margaery raised her wand and shouted, "Damned."
The spell hit the fat wizard's head, but he survived.
Rove frowned. He snapped his fingers, and vines emerged from his box like shackles, instantly entangled the fat wizard's arms and ankles, making him unable to move.
The young man walked over slowly, staring into the eyes of the fat wizard, and walked towards the corpse covered by the white cloth.
When the Aurors rushed into the office, they saw the blond boy who had just been unanimously identified as a boy, squatting next to the devoured corpse, observing carefully.
This scene made everyone shudder.
Rove looked up at the crowd, then pointed at the corpse, and said calmly:
"Poisoned."
