"Haki Bee Haki, you're under arrest."
The moment Roy heard that voice, he knew who it was. He lowered his guard and turned around with a smile.
"What, is this because I hurt your sweetheart?"
Roy turned around with a flourish and looked at Tonks behind him. Taking part in a summer internship, she wore a dazzling trainee Auror badge on her chest.
Tonks greeted Roy cheerfully with a relaxed expression, but her supervising instructor and the several Aurors accompanying her were all tense beyond measure.
Kingsley swiftly pulled the scatterbrained Tonks behind him, while the accompanying Aurors immediately formed a circle around her to protect her.
Kingsley surveyed the surrounding area. The once-flat concrete ground now looked as though it had been bombarded by mortars, covered in blast marks and uneven craters.
Looking at Roy, who stood opposite them holding Mia with a grief-stricken expression, Kingsley looked troubled. After thinking for a moment, he signaled for the Aurors behind him to lower their wands before cautiously making a request of Roy.
"Mr. Roy Smee, because the fight you just engaged in severely violated the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, we have no choice but to bring you to the Ministry of Magic."
Everyone present knew that the unremarkable-looking Roy opposite them was a ruthless man who had fought his way out of a hundred Dark wizards. Not long ago, they had worked countless extra hours because he had been kidnapped. Now the tables had turned, and they were actually being asked to bring Roy back to the Ministry for questioning.
Seeing Mia unconscious in Roy's arms, Kingsley kindly put his wand back into his robes, his voice carrying a soothing note. They did not know what had happened here, but for safety's sake, they still had to remain cautious.
