Chapter 305 The Avengers Alliance
It was very convenient to have Tonks around, she could apparate, and the four of them arrived in the golden hall of the Ministry of Magic in no time.
Unfortunately, they caught up with a press conference where a group of reporters surrounded Secretary Fudge.
"Mr. Minister, is there any news from Peter now?"
"Not yet." Fudge said wearily: "We are working hard to recapture Peter Pettigrew. We ask everyone... the magic community to remain calm and give us some time."
"Mr. Minister, how long will it take? Can you give me a definite news?" A reporter raised his hand and said:
"It has been almost a month since Peter escaped from prison, and we have not seen any measures taken by the Ministry of Magic."
Fudge said angrily: "We have made a lot of efforts, as long as you open your eyes, as long as you are not blind..."
"Are you referring to informing the Muggle Prime Minister of Peter's escape?" Another reporter said loudly, "I noticed that the Muggle news is already reporting on Peter."
"I have to, don't you know Peter's danger?" cried Fudge:
"He killed thirteen innocent Muggles more than ten years ago. Anyone who meets him will be in danger, no matter wizard or Muggle, I must remind the Muggle Prime Minister.
And there are a lot of Muggles, maybe someone just happened to see Peter and give us clues..."
"But this appears to violate the Secrecy Act, Mr Minister."
"I got a guarantee from the Muggle Prime Minister." Fudge stared: "He will not reveal Peter's true identity to anyone, he will only say that Peter is a murderer."
"But some members of the International Federation of Wizards don't seem to approve of your actions." Another reporter asked: "Mr. Fontaine once criticized you..."
"Fontaine?" Fudge suddenly heard a French surname, and he was furious: "A Frenchman...has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of the British magic community!"
"But he's French...American, and now an American wizard."
"..."
"Mr. Minister, can you catch Peter before the Quidditch World Cup starts next year? Isn't it very rare?"
"Mr. Minister, which do you think is more difficult for the England Quidditch team to qualify for next year's World Cup or to catch Peter Pettigrew?"
"..."
The tricky questions from the reporters were stuffed into Fudge's mind, making a maddening noise. He suddenly had a headache, and his head seemed to be pierced by a spell, which made him have a splitting headache.
Rove stood in the distance, and after listening for a while, he felt that it was very tricky. Sure enough... not just anyone can be a minister.
At this moment, someone suddenly spotted Rove who was waiting for the elevator. Someone yelled, and all the reporters rushed over immediately.
Rove stepped forward, protecting Shirley and Hermione behind him, and the group of reporters had surrounded him.
"Mr. Scamander, what do you think of Peter Pettigrew's escape?"
"Mr Scamander, has the Ministry offered you asylum?"
"Mr. Scamander, as the hero who captured Peter Pettigrew, are you afraid that Peter will come to you for revenge?"
A series of questions came over, Rove didn't drive them away, but kept restraint and polite, he said with a smile:
"The taste of revenge is wonderful, but the word used to describe Peter is not quite accurate."
"Then what's the right word?" asked a reporter.
"Traitors, cowards, death eaters, liars, murderers, etc." Rove narrowed his eyes and said:
"Every word represents a crime. Peter has committed countless crimes. A group of people want to kill him and taste the wonderful taste of revenge."
"Dumbledore, Black, Lupine... a large group of 'Avengers' who hated him, have long been filled with anger, and can't wait to avenge James Potter and Lily Potter."
"Not to mention those wizards who have lost their loved ones because of Death Eaters, they will form the Avengers Alliance, shout out justice, fight for their loved ones, and destroy every Death Eater."
Everyone fell silent... The two girls standing behind Rove, the reporters, Minister Fudge, and the Ministry of Magic officials all surrounded the impassioned blond boy.
"Everyone, please remember...Peter's escape from prison is not the end, but the beginning, the beginning of revenge!"
"Every Avenger is waiting for him...Peter will regret not staying in Azkaban, because then, he can still save his life."
"You guys ask me if I'm afraid of revenge?" The young man stared at the group of reporters, and he raised his voice:
"I guess I'll leave that question to Peter Pettigrew."
"Peter, I know you can hear me...I'll be right here waiting for you to come to me for revenge...but until then, you'd better be alive."
After Rove's words fell, the wizards who had been aroused by him clapped desperately.
With the sound of Ding Ding Dang Dang and rattling, an elevator descended in front of them.
Rove whispered to Shirley and Hermione who were in a daze behind him, "Go in."
Only then did the two come back to their senses and walked into the elevator. The young man walked forward slowly, with a bright smile on his face and said:
"Everyone, send it here, goodbye."
Rove poked button number nine, and the bar slammed shut. The elevator made a rattling sound, which was very ear-piercing.
After entering the elevator, it was still very quiet. Rove turned his head and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
Shirley, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said seriously:
"Rove, if Peter comes to seek revenge on you, I will do my best to protect you."
"Me too!" Hermione said hastily.
"Thank you." Rove was a little moved, and he smiled: "We protect each other."
Tonks glanced at Rove with great interest, then at the two girls, and whistled:
"Rove, you are really amazing."
"Um?"
"In short, it's amazing in every sense." Tonks praised.
Rove changed the subject, "I heard that Mad-Eye Moody is retiring?"
"Yeah, he's been teaching me the skills of Aurors recently." Tonks sighed, and said melancholy: "I've lost three instructors."
"The first instructor died while performing the task, the second teacher was transferred to another department, and the third was Moody... I didn't expect him to retire suddenly."
Tonks looked uncomfortable.
Rove looked at Tonks in surprise, what kind of bad luck possessed him, and he lost three Auror teachers, and he hasn't turned from a trainee to a full-time Auror yet?
This made the boy suddenly think of a classmate in his previous life, who survived several tutors without graduating, and finally no professor dared to take him.
The lift slowly ascended, the chain rattling, and when it came to a stop, a nonchalant woman's voice said, "Department of Mysteries."
After the fence was opened, Rove walked out of the elevator. He stopped suddenly, looked at the wizard not far away, and said in surprise:
"McGonagall...Professor?"
