Of course, it would be better if she did not point her wand at Elwyn and Sirius!
"What are you trying to do by breaking into this empty house in the middle of the night? Thieves?!" The witch raised her sharp chin and looked at Elwyn and Sirius. "There are indeed a lot of priceless antiques here. They can be sold for a good price."
"We didn't …"
"Don't lie to me. I saw the seal torn downstairs. This house is being monitored by the Ministry of Magic."
"We've been here for more than half an hour, and you've only just arrived. If this is the monitoring you're talking about, then it's really funny." Sirius said disdainfully. "I know that the French Aurors are of poor quality, but I didn't expect them to be this bad."
"That's because we're understaffed in Dijon. I'm the only one in charge of this case." The witch blushed a little awkwardly, but then she glared back. "Sir, before you question the performance of the French Ministry of Magic and the Aurors, please know your place first. You haven't cleared your name yet."
"We're not suspicious!"
"Is that so?!" The witch squinted and looked at Sirius with great interest. "You may not know, but not long ago, there was a shocking murder case in this room. Look at the blood on the wall … Ah, I just noticed that you've taken off the wallpaper. What are you doing? Destroying the evidence?"
"We're looking for clues!" Sirius said impatiently. "Looking for clues that you haven't noticed."
"So, you demolished this house. I don't see how this will help the case."
"If you can still see, take a look at what's on this," Sirius said, pointing at the wall that had been carved.
"What is this? A child's graffiti?!" The witch muttered and looked at the pattern on the wall in confusion. Then she raised her voice. "Thank you for reminding me. I'll look at it later. But now, I repeat, because you broke into this house, you two are arrested. Throw the wand on the ground, put your hands on your head and squat down. I'll send you to where you belong. Otherwise, I don't mind using some forceful methods. "
"Listen, we mean no harm. It's not what you think. We're not thieves." Sirius took a deep breath.
He maintained a certain level of restraint, perhaps because the other party was a French Auror, and also a woman.
"It doesn't look like it. This child is too young. The semester isn't over yet, right?!" The witch glanced at Elwyn and turned back to Sirius. "So, you're a teacher at the school? I heard that Mrs. Maxim took some students to the Hogwarts because of the Top Three Tournament. "
"I'm a student of Hogwarts. The competition between the top three has been canceled because Lord Voldemort has returned. We are now doing something very important for Dumbledore. Mrs. Maxim is with us." Elwyn said, "She's waiting for us at the hotel. Not long ago, I was attacked by the terrible Owl Man. We followed the enemy to this place."
"The mysterious man, Dumbledore?!" The witch was stunned for a moment before she realized what Elwyn was talking about. "Little guy, you said Mrs. Maxim is here too. She came to Dijon? No, you just mentioned the Owl Man. Where is he? Well, answer the first question first. "
The woman did not grasp the main point at all. It seemed that she was not sure what to ask Elwyn.
"We can sit down and talk. I'll tell you all the information we know, but only if you put down your wand."
There was a moment of silence. The female Auror looked obviously hesitant, and then she shook her head.
"Forget it. After disarming you, we have all the time in the world to talk," she said slowly, as if she was very worried about Sirius. She said slowly, as if she was very worried about Sirius. "Seven years ago, in my first class after I became an Auror, the teacher told me not to trust strangers casually, never put down my wand, and never let down my guard!"
"This sounds like what Professor Moody would say …" Elwyn said.
"You mean Madman Moody?!" The witch said, "He's the teacher of that class. It's an Auror training jointly organized by the magic circles of England, France, and Germany. Moody is a very powerful Auror, and I learned a lot from him."
"Yes, he's now the professor of Defense Against Dark Magic at Hogwarts." As Elwyn said this, he gave Sirius a look. This guy was too stubborn, and they did not have time to waste here.
According to the plan, Elwyn still had to go to the Owl Fortress outside the city to take a look at the curse of the past. He did not want to be interrogated by a female Auror here, especially when it seemed like there was no end to it.
"Since you're Moody's student, then you're one of us. We're preparing to track down that Owl Man and investigate the secret behind this matter. If you're willing, you can follow us!" Elwyn said as he took a step forward.
"Oh, this is an Auror matter. We've received professional training," she said. "You just need to tell me what you know."
"After we've dealt with this matter, we'll tell you the results. If we're lucky, we might even bring back that monster's corpse." Sirius said. "Now, please step aside. We're leaving this place. There are still many things waiting for us to do. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!
"Wait, what are you trying to do? Stop!" the female Witch shouted as she looked at the charging Sirius. "Damn it, faint and fall to the ground!"
A red magical light flew over. Sirius quickly dodged to the right, avoiding the curse.
"Disarm your weapon!" he shouted as he waved his wand and chanted.
In the next second, Sirius's Disarm Curse hit her. The wand flew high into the air and landed in his hand.
"Very good, you win. You've openly attacked an Auror from the Ministry of Magic. What do you plan to do next?" Although she did not have a wand, the female Witch did not show any signs of weakness. Instead, she stared at Sirius with her beautiful eyes and panted. "Imprison me here …"
"I don't have such a hobby!" Sirius said as he threw the wand back. "I'm only doing this to prove that you alone cannot stop us. Now, please step aside. Don't delay us from tracking down that Owl Man. "
The female Witch caught the wand and looked at Elwyn and Sirius for a while. Then, she walked over and extended her hand.
