Chapter 246 St. Mungo's Hospital
"I need you to tell me about a few other locations. Also, you need to take this lady to St. Mungo's and tell them that it was Lane who wanted to save her and her child. Is that alright?"
"Can."
Although he answered affirmatively, Bockborg's voice was soft, revealing some hesitation.
This hesitation stemmed from three points. First, he worried that relying solely on the description would prevent Ryan from finding the exact location where the dark wizard had hidden the Squirt, leading to further setbacks and delays.
Secondly, Burkeborg's claim that the man he brought was the one Lane was trying to rescue was actually quite unconvincing, as no one knew what connection the two had. However, based on his reputation as a Knockturn Alley black marketeer, St. Mungo's wouldn't buy it.
Last but not least, he was incapable of finding the unconscious woman's child. He was merely a well-informed black marketeer, and while his reputation might be well-known in the British magical world of Diagonal and Knockturn Alley, he was just an ordinary person and naturally wouldn't have the ability to extend his reach into the Muggle world.
Ryan saw his concerns: "Since the headmaster isn't here, I won't let you go to Hogwarts. I'll give you Senior Ralph's contact information; you can contact him. The Ministry of Magic will handle communication between St. Mungo and this lady's child."
As he spoke, he sent a message to Larvin, who was probably busy and only replied with an "okay".
O
"That way, there won't be any problems," Bockborg said.
As if he had made up his mind, he pressed his wand against his temple and drew out constantly changing silver threads from his mind: "I'm afraid my words might be inaccurate. This is my memory, which records the specific locations of the remaining places. I hope it will be of some use."
The ability to build such a large family business is not entirely due to the family's generations of inheritance. He can make decisive decisions when necessary, and this decisiveness alone is enough to make him a well-known figure. Ryan took over the memory and used the method of mind control to guide this memory into his brain.
With a sudden realization, a series of images suddenly appeared in my mind, each corresponding to a place in the dynamics of memory. In each of these images, one or two duds were brought into the scene without any knowledge.
It felt somewhat similar to the scene that appeared when the intelligence was refreshed—after obtaining the address, he rushed to the corresponding location as quickly as possible.
After making a call and receiving a brief report from Larvin, Bockborg also took the comatose mother to St. Mungo's Hospital.
Upon receiving the communication from Burke Boggin, Larvin, who was far away at the Ministry of Magic, immediately arranged for people to investigate the family situation of the person in question.
He then brandished his wand, wrote a lengthy article, and strode toward Crouch's office.
On his way to Crouch's office, he mentioned the incident to everyone he passed, whether intentionally or unintentionally, though the details were fragmented and each person only heard a sentence or two.
But once everyone knows part of the story, piecing it together reveals an even more shocking truth.
Conclusions drawn through self-exploration are more profound than those given directly, especially in stories involving wizarding and magical policies that led to the destruction and ruin of Squibs' families.
Even though wizards consider Squibs insignificant compared to them, they can still enact laws of secrecy to protect Muggles. Naturally, they wouldn't completely ignore the joys and sorrows of Squibs, making such stories enough to move any discerning person.
On this day, the Ministry of Magic staff heard Laugherch and Larvin arguing again, but this time it was different from Larvin slamming his fist on the table and leaving before.
This time, in Laukker's office, it was Laukker who stormed out angrily, slamming the door behind him.
An insider revealed the content of the argument between the two.
Essentially, Laugher was furious. He believed that as a member of the wizarding community and the Council of Ministers of Magic, Larvin shouldn't be criticizing a minister over such a trivial matter. Laugher said, "Let the Squibs and lower-ranking wizards suffer; someone else will bear the blame. For the sake of the Ministry of Magic's image, you can't do this. Doing this shows a lack of unity among colleagues and disregard for the bigger picture!"
"A Squib's fate is its own! The Ministry of Magic was established to better guide and serve wizards, to improve their lives, not to be a tool for people like you to fight for power!"
Thus, the two parted on bad terms.
For a long time afterward, the Ministry of Magic staff looked at Laugher with a strange expression.
If Squibs suffer, what about Muggle-born wizards? And even more so, what about wizards from non-pure-blood families?
The noble Laukki family naturally had nothing to fear.
But most wizards are not so "noble".
That's a story for another time.
Having received Larvin's assurance at this moment, Bockborg arrived at a department store as quickly as possible.
He told an ugly doll in the department store window what his purpose was.
The next second, the ugly doll nodded slightly to him, then extended a finger, causing ripples to spread across the shop window.
He pushed open the shop window and stepped into St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries.
Besides the waiting and reception area, the first floor mainly houses the equipment accident department, which generally handles accidents such as crucible explosions, wands going off the rails, and brooms running away and hitting people.
Unsure which department he should take the person to, Bokbokin hurriedly went to ask the nurse in a dark green uniform at the information desk in the center on the first floor.
The nurse had blonde hair, looked a little overweight, and had faint dark circles under her eyes, as if due to lack of rest.
She cast a few minor spells to examine the woman: "This lady's condition seems to be due to prolonged starvation and exhaustion, as well as being tormented by a spell. You can go directly to the Spell Damage Department on the fifth floor."
St. Mungo's Hospital has different departments on different floors, such as the Department of Magical Creature Injuries, the Department of Herbal Potion Poisoning, and so on.
Bokin thanked him and went to the fifth floor to find the attending physician, who had already received a call from Larvin.
According to Larvin, Borgin claimed that he was now working for Lane, which naturally gained everyone's trust.
"Phew, I'll stay here and watch. There absolutely can't be any mistakes while I'm on the job."
Watching the woman being wheeled into the emergency room, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although it wasn't a difficult task, the psychological pressure had left him physically and mentally exhausted.
Looking up, I saw that the ward across the hall had number 49 written on it, and a tall, thin old lady walked in.
The old lady was tall, wearing a sweater and a hat with a vulture pattern on it.
It's the kind of outfit that makes children feel scared and terrified at first glance.
"That's—Mrs. Augusta Longbottom?"
Borgin recognized the old woman and recalled a tragedy that occurred not long after Voldemort's downfall: two loyal and brave Aurors were driven insane by the Death Eaters through extremely cruel torture.
