Tom stared at Elwyn in shock. Then, as if remembering something, he quickly lowered his head in fear.
Even though there was no official announcement, he vaguely knew some things. In fact, he saw with his own eyes that many people had fled the night before, and he had recognised the wizards who had entered his bar today. Iven was not the first one who had acted so rudely.
They were Death Eaters!
Or dark wizards who supported the Lord Voldemort!
In most people's eyes, there was no essential difference between the two. These people were pouring into this country from all over the world, appearing in public without any scruples.
Although this was only the first day of the fall of the Ministry of Magic, it was already rare to see a decent wizard on the streets. If one still did not understand what this meant, they would understand the changes in Diagon Alley this morning. Old Tom was not stupid. On the contrary, his job as a bar owner made him more informed than others.
Because he knew more, he was more aware of the current situation.
At this time, Tom noticed that Elwyn was staring at him, so he lowered his head even more.
The consequences of offending the Lord Voldemort or his followers were terrible. This was undeniable. He did not want to die.
Now that the world of magic had changed, it was the world of the Lord Voldemort and his followers!
For most wizards, the first thing they needed to learn was to adapt to the new rules and learn to lower their heads.
Although the wizard Elwyn disguised as had just returned from abroad and had not yet come into contact with the Lord Voldemort, Tom still could not afford to offend him.
"I'm a pureblood, dear sir," Tom muttered in a very small voice.
"Pureblood? But you don't know the noble Bulstrode family?! " Elwyn looked at Tom apologetically, then pretended to be disgusted. He said in a voice that could be heard by Antonin Dolohov and Dolphin Rolle, "I'm not interested in whether you're really a pureblood or not, but I smell something. Stay away from me! This country has been rotten for too long. I really hope that the Dark Lord can use more effective measures to clean up trash like you. I dare say that he can't wait to see me and accept my allegiance. You should know that my grandfather's relationship with The Dark Lord is beyond imagination … "
He paused and looked at the wanted posters behind Tom.
On it, the faces of Elwyn, Harry, and Sirius were staring at him. Elwyn noticed that the words "Most Dangerous Person" were marked in red letters under his profile picture, but there was no disparity in price written on it, which disappointed him a little. He wanted to see how much he was worth.
"What's this?" He deliberately asked in a puzzled tone, raising his head towards the wanted poster.
"The Ministry of Magic sent a new arrest warrant this morning!" Tom replied.
"Is that so? I saw these two boys this morning, and there were two girls with them. They're … "Elwyn stopped abruptly.
Behind him, Antonin Dolohov and Dolphin Rohr were both on their feet.
"Where are they?" Dolohov could not help but ask.
"Who are you?" Elwyn asked, turning around as if he had just noticed the two men.
"Antonin Dolohov, servant of The Dark Lord," Dolohov said impatiently. Said Dolohov impatiently. "Tell me quickly, my lad, Mason and Potter …"
"Watch your attitude!" Elwyn interrupted haughtily, his tone deliberately filled with unconcealable excitement as he turned to look at the wanted poster. "I didn't expect this boy to be Harry Potter, and Elwyn Mason, I heard his name when I was in Paris. This is very important information, I can give it to The Dark Lord as a greeting gift. I knew it was right to come back, I will restore the glory of my family. "
"The Dark Lord wants to catch these two boys and tell him where they are!" Rolle shouted, pulling out his wand. "Or you'll be in trouble!"
The next second, as if sensing something, Elwyn quickly turned around, his movements as smooth as flowing water. He pulled out his wand and waved it to block the curse flying towards him.
There was a flash of sparks, another red light, and Dolphin Rolle flew backwards.
With a bang, his thick body slammed into the bar wall, and then he fell unconscious.
"Big fool, you want to sneak up on me, you're not qualified!" Elwyn said, pointing his wand at Dolohov. "I know what you want to do, nothing more than go to The Dark Lord to ask for credit, but I found them first! I won't tell you, I want to personally report this to The Dark Lord, or you can try! "
"It's very important to catch these two boys." Dolohov said slowly, carefully looking at the wand in Elwyn's hand. "We won't be able to contact The Dark Lord for a while."
"Then let his most trusted servant find me, the two of you are not qualified." Elwyn paused for a moment and said, "Let Malfoy or Lestrange come, these are of the same noble bloodline as Bulstrode. Okay, now get me a room, I will wait for you upstairs. "
He put away his wand, and under Tom's guidance, Elwyn followed up the stairs.
Dolohov stared at him, as if hesitating, but until the end, he did not pull out his wand from his waist.
When the sight disappeared, Elwyn let out a sigh of relief.
He believed that it would not be long before the Death Eaters came looking for him.
Hopefully, the identity of the person who came would be satisfactory. Elwyn mentioned Malfoy or Lestrange just now to remind them.
The strength he displayed, and the whereabouts of Elwyn and Harry, should be enough to attract enough attention. Now all that was left was to wait!
As for the possibility of the Lord Voldemort coming in person, this was unlikely, or else Elwyn would not have put on such a show.
Dolohov also said that they could not contact the Lord Voldemort, and from what Harry saw last night, in order to open the Door of Death in the Ministry of Magic, the Lord Voldemort should have left for Germany to search for the old wand, and was not currently in England.
When Old Tom closed the door, Iven went to the window. The window of the room faced the alley.
He looked at the narrow cobblestone street. It was quiet, and it was just time for the shops to open, but there were almost no customers outside.
The winding cobblestone alley had changed a lot. When Elwyn first came here before he joined Hogwarts, the alley was bustling and lively. Now that so many shops were boarded up, there were a few new shops selling black magic items, and they were currently being renovated.
Elwyn suspected that the owners of these shops had used some dishonorable method to snatch the shops last night.
Some of them were black magic merchants in Knockout Alley, some were run by Death Eaters, and some were dark wizards from abroad.
Other than that, he also saw many similar wanted posters behind the bar counter posted all over Diagon Alley, as well as in the windows of other shops.
