Chapter 186 184. Scarbio
Scabio is reading a book.
The entertainment life on Azkaban Island is very scarce, not to mention living with someone who can't talk to him at all.
Yeah, he didn't like McNeill at all.
Although everyone is of mixed blood, no one has a higher status in the magic world, but as a self-cultivated and self-motivated person, Severus Snape, who can be of mixed blood, is overwhelming in status. Most pure-blood wizards regarded the aspiring half-blood as an idol, and he really looked down on McNeil, a mindless bastard.
Even if there is no advantage in being born, as long as he is not so miserable as a Mudblood, he will always feel that he still has a chance to improve in the future.
He actually didn’t discriminate against Mudbloods. After all, before Voldemort ruled the entire British wizarding world, he had already lived in that “abnormal” magical society for many years. At that time, he also had many friends who were from Mudbloods.
But even if you don't have much agreement with the theory of pure blood superiority, so what?
As long as he wants to gain power and promotion, he must support this idea.
Therefore, when he suppressed the Order of the Phoenix led by Dumbledore, he did not hold back at all, and no less than three members of the Order of the Phoenix died directly or indirectly in his hands.
It was precisely because of such outstanding achievements that his position in the Auror Command was promoted very quickly.
Lucius Malfoy, the head of the office that manages all Aurors, has hinted to him in private that after the completion of the task of stationing in Azkaban, the ministry is likely to transfer him to other key offices of the Department of Magical Law, Give him a chance to be a director.
It is precisely because of this realization that Scabio doesn’t like watching Quidditch games, playing wizard chess, or traveling.
I only like to read books, and constantly enrich myself with knowledge, so that when I need to seize an opportunity, I will not miss this opportunity.
And this time, he felt that he might have encountered an extremely critical opportunity.
Of course, if not handled properly, this opportunity may also turn into a fatal danger.
As for how to deal with the remaining Auror in the building, Jon and the others have no better way.
He obviously has no intention of going out, and has been staying in a certain room on the second floor. If he wants to launch a sneak attack on him, he must enter the building.
This is undoubtedly a very risky move. After all, this place has always been the residence of the Aurors. They don't even know if there are any special arrangements inside.
But regardless of whether there is any risk or not, they must solve this trouble today.
"Nick is with us. You are a ghost and will not be harmed by any spells, so you go ahead and scout for us. Fred and I are behind in an invisibility cloak."
"If you have spotted the enemy, but the enemy has not found you, you should keep quiet and point out his location to us with gestures, and we will try to sneak attack. If he also finds you, you should tell us his location loudly , with the invisibility cloak, he can't determine our position at the first time, so we still have the advantage of first strike."
"The rhythm of spellcasting is also the same. Listen to my pronunciation, Fred. No matter what, we must first assume that the other party is maintaining the Iron Armor Curse at all times, and the initial attack is mainly armor-piercing. Finally, we must pay attention to ourselves. Don’t have any thoughts of dying together, it’s not worth it to us.”
Nick was in front, and it passed through the solid wooden door without opening the door at all.
After checking that there were no abnormalities or problems on the entire first floor, he walked out the door again to signal Jon and the others to enter.
Then Jon put the cloak of invisibility on himself and Fred again, and the two gently held the handle and pushed open the door, and walked in cautiously.
Their movements were extremely slight, and they hardly made any abnormal noises.
But just as the door was opened, Scarbio, who was reading a book in the study on the second floor, instantly became gloomy.
On the first day he came here, he set up a guard against the only entrance door in the entire building. As long as someone came in or out of this place, the magic he left would be triggered and he would sense it.
Of course, McNeill will inevitably be noticed when he enters the door, but if he comes back, it will definitely not be so quiet.
Every time this shit-headed guy walks in the door, he yells that it's too cold outside and he needs a hot chocolate or asks himself to get him a coat.
The sound of stamping their feet in front of the door to clean up the dirt on the soles of their shoes was so loud that it seemed to alarm the dementors in the castle.
It's too quiet now.
It was so quiet that Scabio could only suspect one possibility at the first time, considering the current chaos in the magic world.
Someone else broke into Azkaban Island, that idiot McNeil has been dealt with!
The second this thought came to his mind, he grasped the magic wand that had been on the desk like lightning.
He stood up from the sofa, and first walked to the door of the study room, but just as he stretched out his hand and opened the door slightly, his gaze was fixed on the owl cage that had been placed above the bookcase.
There is an owl belonging to him in the cage, which is meeting his eyes.
After hesitating for less than a second, he walked to the bookcase again, opened the owl's cage, and released the owl that had been with him for less than three years.
He pulled out a piece of parchment from the desk, quickly wrote a line of letters on it with a quill, and then rolled up the parchment, letting the owl grab it in its claws.
Finally, he took out a pendant from his robe pocket, hung it around the owl's neck, and opened the window opposite to the building door for it.
"This thing can help you fly out of the fog. Go back to the Ministry of Magic and find Lucius Malfoy, the director of the Auror office. Be sure to deliver this letter to him, and the take-off movement must be gentle!"
Every owl that delivered the letter to the wizard could understand human speech. It carried a pendant, grabbed the letter, and flapped its wings carefully, before flying out of the room.
Scabio was not sure who and how many people landed on Azkaban, but he had to make sure the news got out before he was ready to gamble for the opportunity that was at hand.
Otherwise, it would be okay if he seized the opportunity, but if he didn't, then all his previous achievements may not be able to offset this mistake.
