After all, based on the information he had, he felt that Harry was perfectly capable of doing these things... and might even do them very easily.

"I knew it," Scrimgeour nodded approvingly. "Kingsley Shacklebolt, what's your opinion...?"

"Watch out! Protego!" But before Scrimgeour could ask, the wizard named Kingsley Shacklebolt suddenly noticed several Dementor shaking abnormally overhead, and he was immediately alarmed.

The kid didn't run away; instead, he used Disillusionment Charm to hide nearby!

With his mind racing and no time to think, Kingsley Shacklebolt shoved Scrimgeour away from where he stood, then waved his wand, creating a solid magical barrier around himself and the other Auror.

At the same time, a point of blue light suddenly shot out from the corner of the corridor, causing a powerful explosion right under the feet of the Auror!

"Extremely powerful Bombarda!!"

Boom!!

With a deafening roar, Kingsley Shacklebolt's hastily activated Shield Charm was instantly shattered by his opponent's all-out evil curse. Although the Auror were fortunate enough not to suffer serious damage, the shockwave from the explosion still sent one of them flying high into the air, and coincidentally, he landed right in the arms of the Dementor perched on the ceiling!

Now, the Dementor who had wandered in were overjoyed. They didn't care whether the person in their arms was a criminal or Auror; they just picked them up and started sucking them in.

"Savage... Oh no! Patronus Charm!" At the critical moment, Tonks saw the situation was bad and stepped forward, using his own pup Patronus to forcefully ram into the Dementor, barely managing to save the Auror who was being attacked.

However, after being attacked by several Dementor, the wizard named Savage clearly had no choice but to withdraw from the battle.

"That guy... no way!" At that moment, Tonks, who had caught a glimpse of the enemy's departing figure, suddenly showed a look of astonishment on his face.

"That person isn't Harry at all, it's Malfoy!" Tonks shouted, pointing at the escapee shrouded in black robes. "There's no mistake, it's the missing Lucius Malfoy!"

"What did you say?!"

Scrimgeour was startled by what he heard, but Kingsley Shacklebolt secretly wore a thoughtful expression.

In his view, the person fighting them could only be Harry, and definitely not the missing head of the Malfoy family.

So, could it be him?!

Suddenly, Kingsley Shacklebolt's expression also became extremely serious.

The truth behind Harry Granger's ability to impersonate Lucius Malfoy is enough to blow up the entire Wizarding World!

But Kingsley Shacklebolt knew very well that even if he guessed the 'truth,' he absolutely could not reveal it to anyone... because in the eyes of the Ministry of Magic today, Harry and Dumbledore were bound together; if one of them suffered, the other would suffer too.

Besides, even if I told them, the people here wouldn't believe me.

"Master, something terrible has happened! Travers, the Death Eater who was being held captive, has been kidnapped by that guy!" At this moment, the last Auror Prout shouted anxiously.

"I knew it! That letter was pure slander, a case of the thief crying 'stop thief!' There was no story of a third-grade student avenging their parents; on the contrary, there was some guy trying to restore the Dark Lord and break into the prison!!"

After roaring like a lion, Scrimgeour took off running, relentlessly pursuing the enemy in the direction they had gone.

"Hurry up and come with me, we have to catch this guy today!!"

However, at this moment, only three Auror remained who were able to respond to his call.

In Harry's first encounter with the Auror, not only did the Auror lose two members, but they also successfully misunderstood his identity.

Meanwhile, Harry had already pocketed the second Death Eater, Mulciber Jr..

And while no one was chasing him, he used the Patronus Charm to blast away more than a dozen Dementor blocking his path.

Chapter 459 Being relentless can easily lead to injury.

Something's not right...

As they continued their pursuit, when the Auror discovered that Mulciber Jr.'s cell was also empty, Scrimgeour seemed to sense something was amiss.

"That guy's identity might be questionable. If he really wanted to rescue the Death Eater, why didn't he just create widespread chaos? And... how exactly did he repel all those Dementor along the way? Death Eater can't use the Patronus Charm!"

"Perhaps they're worried that a large-scale operation would raise our alarm, since the You-Know-Who hasn't been resurrected yet." Seeing that Scrimgeour was already suspicious, Kingsley Shacklebolt had to try to guide him, "As for the Patronus Charm, under certain Patronus Charm circumstances, Death Eater can also master it. Look at that friend from Hogwarts, for example."

"In short, send a letter to the Ministry of Magic right now, ordering them to send someone to Hogwarts immediately!" Scrimgeour commanded in a low voice as he chased after them down the narrow corridors. "If he really is Harry Granger in disguise, then he certainly doesn't know Apparition and there's no way he could return to the school anytime soon!"

"Well... alright." Kingsley Shacklebolt sighed helplessly upon hearing this, and had no choice but to obey Scrimgeour's orders, summoning a Winky lynx Patronus and rushing towards the front of the corridor.

Scrimgeour was a seasoned veteran who could often spot many flaws quickly, so Kingsley Shacklebolt didn't dare to openly cover for Harry in front of him and could only let things develop as they were.

Moreover, he was already reluctant to get involved in Harry's affairs.

Although they had never met before, Harry had been causing Kingsley Shacklebolt a lot of trouble since Harry was ten years old.

Kingsley Shacklebolt thought to himself that if he hadn't had some connections with the Muggle government, things would probably have gotten much more chaotic.

Including this ambush, Kingsley Shacklebolt, who was well-versed in the art of self-preservation and worried that this kid would implicate Dumbledore, would have been too lazy to get involved in this mess.

'Sigh, hopefully he can find a way to get back to Hogwarts before the Ministry of Magic does, and please, he shouldn't cause Dumbledore trouble...'

The Auror's pursuit continued, and just as Kingsley Shacklebolt was thinking this, his Patronus unexpectedly encountered Harry.

Harry was trapped in front of Rookwood's cell, surrounded by dozens of Dementor that blocked the corridor. Even if he transformed into Golden Eagle and forced his way through, he would never be able to get through.

The pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, so Harry dared not use the Patronus Charm again, lest the Auror see the light and confirm that he was not Death Eater.

However, at that moment, a silver lynx came flying like an arrow, its fluorescent body illuminating the dark corridor.

"Is this a message to the Ministry of Magic... I've got it!" Seeing the Patronus rushing towards him, Harry suddenly had an idea.

He seemed not to see the lynx Patronus at all, letting it sweep past him and charging straight into the dozens of Dementor blocking his path!

With a muffled thud, the Dementor dispersed.

In the blink of an eye, Harry seized the opportunity and suddenly struck, using a ball of extremely pure water element to grab the Patronus who was about to continue running!

Immediately afterwards, he cast Transfiguration on the stones on the ground, turning them into a stone ball that completely enveloped the water elemental and the lynx Patronus.

By the time Scrimgeour and his men caught up, Harry had already packed up the shrunken Rookwood, and his escape route from the prison was now completely clear!

"Damn it... You're not getting away! Impediment Jinx! Bombarda!"

Scrimgeour, as expected of a battle- Auror, immediately conjured a series of obstacles at the end of the corridor to block the enemy's escape when he saw them trying to flee. He then unleashed a barrage of spells at Harry, showcasing his formidable spell-based combat skills!

"Petrificus Totalus!" "Stupefy!"

Seeing this, Tonks and the other Auror Prout also launched an attack on Harry, and Kingsley even casually fired an Exterminator weapon.

"Well done!" Faced with the spell that had almost completely blocked the corridor, Harry's eyes widened, and his magic suddenly erupted!

"Protego Maxima!!"

He swiftly waved the wand he had obtained from Lucius, instantly creating an extremely powerful protective barrier around himself. With a near-perfect movement, he blocked the explosive impact and the rapidly approaching spell!

Faced with a sleeping spell that slipped through the net, Harry instantly calmed himself down, silently chanting "Clear Mirror Still Water" while fixing his gaze firmly on Proudfoot, who had cast the spell!

A mysterious blue light flashed and disappeared, Proudfoot suddenly felt as if a clear mirror, as clear as water, had appeared before his eyes, reflecting the spell he had just cast!

"Ugh..." However, immediately afterward, he felt a sudden wave of drowsiness wash over him, and his eyes rolled back as he lost consciousness.

"Proudfoot?!" Scrimgeour was both shocked and furious to see that his side had mysteriously lost another Auror.

However, Harry had already turned around and unleashed a Diffindo, easily tearing apart the obstacle Scrimgeour had just set up.

"If you keep chasing us, I really won't be so polite!" Harry coldly threatened before striding away.

"Damn it! I'll never let you get away with this!"

But Harry's threats had no effect on Scrimgeour; instead, they provoked him so much that he abandoned his unconscious companion and chased after Harry again.

"Troublesome fellow..." Harry frowned helplessly as he caught a glimpse of the Head of the Auror Office relentlessly pursuing him out of the corner of his eye.

Harry thought the battle was essentially over by now, but he never expected Scrimgeour to be so relentless.

Seeing that he had already rushed to the prison gate, and the lion head behind him was still trying to interfere with him with a spell, a hint of impatience flashed across Harry's face. He then swung his wand and blasted the stone ball he had just made backhand!

"Waddiwasi!"

"Hmph! Such petty tricks are useless; Diffindo!"

Seeing that his opponent had only thrown a single stone ball, Scrimgeour couldn't help but sneer inwardly, easily smashing the stone ball into pieces.

In his view, the suspect had run out of tricks...

However, at that moment, a beam of red light suddenly arrived swiftly and instantly enveloped all the wreckage in front of Scrimgeour!

"Confringo!!"

BOOM!!

A flash of red light appeared, and the shattered stones were detonated by Harry's magic, instantly creating a burst of sparks in front of Scrimgeour, blasting him into a dusty mess.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, Scrimgeour could only barely cast the Shield Charm for defense. Even so, half of his clothes were torn to shreds, and his arm, which he used to cover his face, was cut and bleeding profusely by flying debris!

"This... no way?" Tonks, who was lagging behind, was completely shocked.

Even Rufus Scrimgeour, the powerful Head of the Auror Office, was injured?!

Chapter 460 Dealing with the Ministry of Magic requires advance preparation.

To be honest, Harry wouldn't have wanted to hurt Scrimgeour if he hadn't been so persistent.

He had no grudge against the other party, and Scrimgeour was only acting under orders, so Harry really had no reason to kill him.

If Harry were to decide who he really wanted to beat to a pulp today, he'd actually prefer to make someone else bleed.

Kingsley Shacklebolt Shacklebolt Finn – Harry had seen this guy before when he disguised himself Peter Pettigrew and met Lucius, but Harry couldn't deal with him then because Moody was there.

This guy was no ordinary passerby. Although Sirius Shacklebolt wasn't on the list of Order of the Order of the Phoenix members Kingsley Shacklebolt Black gave him, Harry was 100% certain that the other person was a die-hard Dumbledore.

When Harry was eleven, if Kingsley Shacklebolt hadn't gone to court Prince Charles, and if his recently graduated nephew hadn't simultaneously misled Will and Hermione, how could Harry have ended up in such a dilemma, reluctantly going to Hogwarts?

Now that things have come to this, Albus Dumbledore has already been confronted by Harry, Hogwarts has become his alma mater with which he has an emotional attachment, and he can't touch Prince Charles... Therefore, the only ones he can settle scores with are the Shacklebolt and his nephew.

So today...

"What the hell?" Harry was furious when he looked up and saw Kingsley Shacklebolt Shacklebolt standing there.

This guy, a grown man, actually shrank behind Tonks, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally... Doesn't he have any shame?!

Well, it seems Kingsley Shacklebolt Shacklebolt has confirmed his identity and knows he absolutely won't harm Tonks, so he's determined to survive until the end.

Okay, then just wait and see. Sooner or later you'll be all alone.

Harry silently threatened the two men with his wand raised, then ignored the terrified Tonks and the Kingsley Shacklebolt who was trying to slack off, and turned and left Azkaban prison.

Seeing his actions, Kingsley Shacklebolt finally stopped being so worried.

That's too risky...

He was now incredibly grateful that he had reacted quickly enough to hide behind Tonks, otherwise he would probably have ended up like Rufus.

Kingsley Shacklebolt was a very shrewd and perceptive man, and he had a keen eye for people, especially Harry's personality.

Although most of the Hogwarts teachers thought Harry was a good kid, Kingsley Shacklebolt knew that Harry's 'goodness' was only reserved for his own people.

Furthermore, Dumbledore had secretly consulted Kingsley Shacklebolt, asking whether his nephew should take the initiative to apologize to Harry, or whether Harry should continue to hide quietly in the remote corner of the Wizarding World...

From that moment on, Kingsley Shacklebolt was certain that this orphan of the Potter family was absolutely vengeful.

Now, the child has become almost uncontrollable.

His strength, capable of taking down four Auror in succession, wouldn't have surprised Kingsley Shacklebolt much; however, Harry's capture of his Patronus in some bizarre way was rather perplexing.

To be honest, when the stone sphere exploded, Kingsley Shacklebolt was genuinely terrified as he looked at his Patronus torn to pieces.

"What are you two standing there for? Go and bring him back right now!"

"Ah... okay, Tonks and I will go after them right away!"

Kingsley Shacklebolt snapped out of his daze when he heard Scrimgeour's angry accusations and chased after them with an equally uneasy Tonks.

But when they arrived at the prison's perimeter, their opponents had vanished, leaving only a group of Dementor roaring unwillingly in the air.

"It looks like they've already escaped..." Although his tone was regretful, Kingsley Shacklebolt secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That little scourge is finally gone...

"Kingsley Shacklebolt, that guy... is he Malfoy or Harry?" Tonks asked, her face full of confusion; she was actually quite hesitant herself.

Her understanding of Lucius Malfoy was that he was a very annoying distant relative whose only skill was money.

Tonks didn't believe that 'Lucius Malfoy' had the strength to defeat Auror one after another, and even injure Scrimgeour.
