Chapter 346 Accidental Exposure
The familiar sound of explosion brings with it the familiar production safety accidents.
However, this time the production safety accident seemed particularly serious, so that when Jian Yu realized that something was wrong, she was already half lying... half buried in the bricks on the ground.
She covered her buzzing head and tinnitus ears, told herself to clean up, and opened her eyes with difficulty to look up.
She didn't see the ceiling, only the sky.
It’s just that the sky wasn’t very blue, and the clouds weren’t very white.
Because they had been dyed into dirty black-gray and dangerous dark red by the raging fire and smoke caused by the explosion.
The situation was really bad. She could feel the poisonous gas at the scene even through the bubble head spell automatically triggered by the anti-curse hat. The thick smoke blocked her vision, and there was dust and sand everywhere, and bright flames were burning. If it weren't for the armor spell and temperature control spell on her clothes, she would have turned into ashes long ago.
Jian Yu struggled to stand up and moved the bricks off her body, only to find that her anti-spell robe had been blown into rags by the explosion, barely able to exert the last bit of magic power.
She drew out her wand and tried to stop the fire from spreading:
"The curse stops immediately! Weather curse! Clear water like a spring..."
When the smoke cleared and the dust settled, she discovered that the original laboratory building had disappeared, leaving only a pile of ruins.
Several dark figures were slowly crawling out from among the bricks and burnt unidentified objects. Everyone's face was completely black, with only the whites of their eyes and a mouthful of teeth remaining white - they were her researchers!
Standing in the ruins, everyone looked at each other, and then at the laboratory that had been razed to the ground by the magic explosion and had no possibility of being repaired. For a moment, their brains collectively crashed and no one was able to speak.
Jian Yu only felt sadness flowing like a river in his heart!
Her factory, her laboratory, her equipment, and the inventory of anti-curse clothing and anti-curse hats that she had worked so hard to produce were fixed assets worth countless gold Galleons.
All cleared with one click!
"…Uh…" She asked dryly with the last glimmer of hope, "Augustus, Crocker, did you keep any records of the experiment?"
The two lines of wide tears running down Augustus' dark face said it all.
But it was too late for Jian Yu to grieve for the lost gold galleons and experimental records.
Because she was watching in horror as a figure slowly emerged from the half-burnt brick house next to her.
The man's black robe had turned into a tasseled curtain, and the expression on his face was three points darker than the black robe...
That was her mentor, Severus Snape!
"How thoughtful, Miss Jane, you really care about your old professor." Snape, who was almost mad with anger, swung his tassels as he stepped over the mess and started to scold him sarcastically, "You finally blew up Spinner's End Alley, otherwise I would always be worried that you would blow up."
He held Jian Yu's shoulders, turned her around, and forced her to look at the miserable state of the house next door.
One brick wall had completely collapsed, exposing the furniture and decorations inside. The second-floor bedroom that she was very familiar with was left with only an overturned wardrobe, and one side of the room on the first floor was buried by bricks and a collapsed ceiling.
"I have to thank Miss Jane for not killing me," he continued sarcastically, "for sending her good professor the spell-proof robe in advance, so that he could be sent to see Merlin without being bombed and the house collapsed."
"...I will compensate for these losses..." Jian Yu's voice was completely choked with sobs. She heard the sound of the gold galleons returning to zero in a trance, which made her feel like a sharp knife was cutting her heart again and again. "Pay the full amount...I will never default..."
But Snape didn't say anything. He had no time to think about his bombed house.
He scowled, waved his wand, and used a levitation spell to move the bricks and slabs covering the buried first-floor room away.
A creature with gray limbs was revealed underneath...
His body was already stiff, his limbs were curled up and all broken, his short body was half mouse, half human... presenting a 2D shape...
A very short wand fell beside him, full of cracks, covered with dust and dirt, and looked like it would break at any moment.
That was the Death Eater, Peter Pettigrew, who was carried away and died in the magical explosion!
"Damn it..." Snape cursed inwardly, wishing he could spit on him.
He felt like his brain had completely shut down.
Wormtail's death made him feel both happy and troubled.
The good thing is that although he was unable to kill the enemy himself and had to use Jian Yu's explosion, his hatred was finally avenged.
What was worrying was that the person sent by the Dark Lord to monitor him died in his house, and he didn't know how to explain it.
But before he could open his mouth, his heart suddenly tightened -
Because of the shrill sirens, ambulances, fire trucks, and Muggles' shouting, it sounded from far away and then got closer!
The violent explosion in the laboratory caused the layers of magic barriers that had been set up here to be broken. The magical flames and shock waves generated by the explosion affected the surrounding abandoned houses, causing a huge noise -
The noise alarmed the Muggles!
Everyone present was visibly terrified; they knew they had completely violated the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy and had exposed the magical safety incident that had taken place here to the Muggles!
This is enough to get them sent to the Wizengamot court and spend the rest of their lives in prison!
"After all... do I still have to sing Tears Behind Bars..." Augustus murmured in despair.
Jian Yu felt that her brain had never been working so fast. The sirens that were getting closer and closer were ringing in her ears like a death knell.
She knew that within a few minutes, the Aurors and special agents responsible for protecting the area would descend from the sky with people from the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes!
Even with Dumbledore and Bones as guarantees, this disaster would be enough to have a very adverse impact on them.
She had to do something to prevent her researchers from ending up in Azkaban!
In a split second, she had an idea, and a flash of inspiration came to her mind -
She quickly walked forward and picked up Pettigrew's cracked wand, and recalled Barty the Younger's spell, waving it carefully so as not to break it completely:
"morsmordre!"
The magic circuit of this already very fragile wand was not very smooth, but fortunately a small Dark Mark still jumped out.
A huge snake emerged dejectedly from the mouth of the skeleton, and the skull slowly and weakly rose to the ruins, revealing a sense of reluctance and reluctance.
Jian Yu looked at the ugly pattern half-lying on a stone brick with satisfaction.
Then she bent it gently, and the wand, which was already very fragile, broke completely in the middle and became two parts.
She looked down again at the 2D flat body of the dwarf that had been pulled out.
May the deceased rest in peace. Although he had never done anything good when he was alive, she felt that he could be a good person after his death.
- For example, share the pressure with them and take the blame for violating the "Secrecy Law".
