Chapter 557: “The Masked Group”
Jerry, please take care of yourself. Well be waiting for you at the Leaky Cauldron, Hermione waved at Jerry with concern and then crossed the portal to Diagon Alley, accompanied by Ginny and Harry.
Subsequently, the wizards, along with their family members, expressed their gratitude with grateful glances before proceeding through the portal.
As the last wizard stepped through, Jerry closed the portal with a wave of his hand.
Before Arthur could voice his concern, Jerry interrupted, Sir, dont worry about me. Remember, I can handle myself well in a fight. With these words, Jerry reminded Arthur of some of his previous heroic deeds, including facing a group of Dementors and disarming multiple Aurors on the Hogwarts Express last year.
Alright, then you stick with us, but prioritize your safety. If things go south, dont hesitate to escape, Arthur urged.
He, Bill, Charlie, and Jerry proceeded towards the masked figures, with the other members of the Ministry of Magic who had been maintaining order gathering behind Arthur.
Among them was Percy, who had already started working at the Ministry of Magic.
When Arthur stood before the group of masked individuals, he brandished his wand and shouted, Whoever you are, cease this cruelty immediately, or we will take action.
The person under the mask could be seen chuckling at his words, elegantly waving his cloak, and maintaining his poise.
Malfoy, the leader of the masked group, glared at Arthur with disdain, his eyes filled with disgust.
In his perspective, Arthur was the embodiment of everything he detested.
A member of the Sacred Twenty-Eight Pureblood families, he had always stood against them, aiding Muggles and associating with Mudbloods.
In his eyes, Arthur was a pure-blood traitor, more loathsome than an enemy.
Upon hearing Malfoys threat, Arthur and his Ministry companions hesitated.
Although they had the upper hand in this confrontation, with Jerrys giant guardian angel and their support, they feared for the safety of the hostages taken by the masked individuals.
However, in this critical moment, Jerry, who had been standing behind them, took swift action.
He waved his wand and invoked a levitation spell.
Instantly, more than a dozen Muggles, previously suspended in the air, broke free from the magical control of the masked figures and flew toward Jerry.
These former Death Eaters, who now held various official positions in the Ministry of Magic, reveled in their malevolent intentions.
Malfoy, however, soon realized the pressing matter. Remember, we cant linger here. We must return swiftly. If were not present when the Ministry contacts us, well end up in prison.
As officials of the Ministry of Magic, the sudden significant event required their attention, and their absence would be conspicuous.
If such things continue to happen, their safely secured key positions would be threatened.
Resulting in other loss of their connection is a no for these groups.
Lucius, no need to worry. We understand, the other masked individuals nodded in agreement.
They initiated their Apparating Spells, intending to teleport back to their homes.
Yet, when they completed the incantation, they realized something was amissthe spell failed, and they remained stationary.
Panic rippled through the group. Whats going on?
Sorry, I placed an anti-Apparition spell nearby while you were conversing earlier, an unexpected voice echoed from the woods behind them.
Alarmed, everyone whirled around with wands at the ready. A young wizard emerged from the woods, sporting a grin and holding a magic camera.
JeJerry Carmen!
Its you, Jerry Carmen!
Few of the masked people in the group could be seen trembling upon seeing the presence of Jerry.
Good evening, everyone. Why dont you take off your masks and give us a smile?
Facing a dozen wands aimed in his direction, Jerry displayed no hint of fear.
The ones who showed signs of fear instead were the ones with their wands pointed at him.
Without even wielding a wand, he held up the magic camera and snapped a picture of Malfoy and his companions.
