Chapter 259: “Secrets”

At this moment, the newspaper that had been trembling suddenly opened, and a huge net enveloped it. James cast a defensive spell to block the attack for Sirius. He quickly stepped back, and the huge net directly covered the Lestranges.

The huge net was like a living creature, and the net was tightened suddenly. The three had no time to react, and the wands in their hands fell to the ground.

The net was still tightening crazily, and there was even the sound of bones rubbing. Rodolphus was bound in the innermost part and rolled his eyes.

Sirius whistled, then waved his wand and unleashed a Lumos. The other Guards quickly stepped forward and bound the three with a restraining spell.

James put away the huge net that had turned back into a newspaper, weighed it in his hand, and said with a smile, “Magic props are quite useful. Someone must be proficient enough to transform the Devil’s Snare like this.”

Sirius grabbed Rodolphus’s collar and wiped his wand, “It’s really good for a surprise attack. But it’s a pity that the activation time is too slow, and the Devil’s Snare personality is a little bit tricky to control.”

“It’s good enough for now, take them away.”

The other team members Apparated with the Lestranges. James was at the back, turned his head, and glanced, “From what we got, your sister doesn’t need to be arrested?”

Sirius spread his hands, “According to my understanding of her if she did not break the law, she would not resist so fiercely. Maybe there is something hidden that only she knows.”

“Well, I brought you closer to work in the office, and now I have arrested your relatives. I’m afraid Regulus will come to you later.” James frowned slightly.

Sirius replied, “I promised to help you, don’t consider what they’re going to think of me. Besides, no matter what I do, I’m already a disgrace to the Black family. And I’m proud of it .”

James shook his head, “Regulus is just trapped in the minds set by your parents. You and I both know that he is not as brave as you to fight it, but deep down, he is still kind.”

Sirius waved his hand, “My stupid parents are obsessed with pure blood. They gave birth to a freak like me. Of course, they have to brainwash another son. Regulus believes in the nobility of pure blood, and he accepts that easily.”

“I think you should talk it out with your brother later.”

Sirius interrupted James with an uneasy expression, “I have you, Lupin, and the others. As well as Harry and Daisy, and that’s enough for me.”

James glanced at Sirius, and he finally shrugged, “Don’t look at me like that. Also, he is already in his second year at Hogwarts, and you found a decent job.”

“My uncle left me enough money to spend on my entire life. If it weren’t for helping you, I would probably just enjoy plenty of red wine and wizard chess.”

“Please, even though you came from a well-known rich family, you still want to go to work.”

“That’s because Lily didn’t want you to die, and becoming an Auror might relieve her a bit.”

“I don’t deny that. I might be on the national Quidditch team now if it wasn’t for Daisy’s illness.”

“If you said you were regretting it, I’d punch your nose right now.”

“You’ll never get that chance, buddy.”

The arrest of the three members of the Lestrange family has become big news in the wizarding world.

Unless the crime is really heinous, a family like Lestrange can’t be questioned by the public. Although the arrest of these three is in the name of torturing and killing many people in the past few years.

According to the public statement of James Potter, the UK office of the United Wizards Guard, although the three have always refused to plead guilty, the evidence is quite sufficient, and it is possible to dig out more and longer cases from them.

“Good job, keep up the good work. Did they see your Dark Mark when they came in?”

Bellatrix immediately said, “As you expected, they checked my left arm. But before the guards came to check it, I had hidden the mark according to the spell you taught me. As for Rodolphus and the others, their markers should have been seen.”

Sean nodded, “You did a good job. Keep hiding. You can talk with the people around you. If I guess correctly, your roommate will come to chat with you the next day.”

“Master, how should I deal with it?”

“Just chat casually. Remember, no matter what they say, never reveal your identity.”

After cutting off the contact, Sean got up from the bed and walked to the window. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the moonlight shining from the window.

He is almost sure that there must be a connection between the United Wizards Guard and the Association in France.

It seems to be deceiving, but the reason why he didn’t let Bellatrix expose herself is very simple. Bellatrix’s behavior of hiding her mark and keeping her mouth shut about the Death Eaters will give them a signal that she can’t get in touch with Voldemort.

Even the most careful people would relax their vigilance against Voldemort under such circumstances, and Bellatrix might get more information.

Secondly, the Dark Mark of the Lestrange brothers can be seen at a glance. But Bellatrix does not. There are people who think that Bellatrix has a secret identity and she is probably Voldemort’s confidant.

In the eyes of the other people, Sean, or Voldemort himself, is the head of a pure-blood organization. This has a high probability of having something in common with their goals, and the commonality means the possibility of cooperation. What’s more, they can’t confirm how much Voldemort’s strength has recovered.

Sean sneered. In the end, they still didn’t think highly of Death Eaters.

From Sean’s point of view, he didn’t care what others thought of the Death Eaters. He just wants to get more information. Even if they wipe out all the Death Eaters, he’ll go back to his normal life.

After all, he got Dumbledore and Grindelwald backing him up.

In front of the window, Sean’s gaze froze for a moment. He raised his head suddenly, and an idea popped up in his mind.

Just in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper floors of another tower, two old men were leaning on the railing and watching the night scene outside the window.

“Heh,” Grindelwald narrowed his eyes and exhaled, “Times have changed. Some people’s poor guts will actually swell under boring days.”

Dumbledore looked at him seriously, “Gellert...”

Grindelwald cut him, “Albus, let me guess. ‘The bigger picture matters,’ is that what you meant to say?”

Dumbledore fell silent, and he finally sighed.

“Albus, I haven’t forgotten what you said to me,” Grindelwald laughed wildly, “You tell me to stop the war and become a headmaster, and I will start to move the wizarding world. But for the sake of our great cause, I was willing to put up with the babble of those little bugs right in front of my eyes.”

“That touched me very much,” said Dumbledore.

Grindelwald laughed even more, “It makes me so happy. Can I say that?”

Dumbledore looked up at him, then looked out of the window, and said slowly, “You didn’t owe me in the first place. It was just an accident.”

Grindelwald moved in front of Dumbledore’s eyes.

“I’m glad that I mean it.”
