Chapter 1657: The Stormy Ministry of Magic
"Scrimgeour wants to figure out why Dumbledore gave us those things, and he seems to suspect that there is a way to defeat Voldemort. ”
It wasn't surprising that he had been locked up in his office for the past month or so, and he must have been studying the things Dumbledore had left behind. "Scrimgeour pinned all his hopes on unrealistic ideas, such as what Dumbledore had left behind to restrain Voldemort so that the Ministry would be victorious." On the other hand, it also proves that he really can't do anything about the current situation, especially since the Azkaban prison break broke out again, and the Ministry of Magic is in a deep self-conflict, and they can't even decide whether to take extreme measures against the dark wizards, because there are many officials who oppose it. It's funny, but what Auror would want to capture a Death Eater without taking extreme measures? after all, it's risking his life, and there's no point in catching him......"
It's ironic enough to think that the Ministry of Magic had just sent the Death Eaters in, and within a few days they had escaped from prison.
In this way, the Death Eaters and Dark Wizards were even more emboldened, and what reason did they have to fear the Ministry of Magic and the Aurors?
As long as he didn't die on the spot, even if he was caught and put in the wizard's prison, he would be rescued quickly.
This has happened many times, but it is an excellent way to show loyalty to Voldemort. The Death Eaters and Dark Wizards were even more heroic in the battle, knowing that the Ministry of Magic could not really do anything about them, imprisoned in Azkaban as if someone really cared.
In the past, wizards feared Azkaban because they feared the brutal torture of the Dementors who guarded it.
Right now, without the evil brains and dementors beneath the island, Azkaban is just an eerie and terrifying structure.
The failure to catch the Death Eaters was criticized, and the public blamed the Ministry of Magic for inaction, but what to do with it now became a problem.
The situation is now such that the Ministry of Magic does not even have a suitable place to hold the Dark Wizards, and it cannot deal with them.
Evan had always felt that the Ministry of Magic was a bit of a joke in this matter, but under the current system and circumstances of the Ministry of Magic, it was so difficult to authorize the Aurors to take extreme measures against the Dark Wizards. From this point of view, Scrimgeour is inferior to Barty Crouch, who may be a qualified Auror, but not a veteran politician.
"I'm sure Scrimgeour should understand this, and he should know that what Dumbledore has left behind won't help him in any way. "I gave him some advice later, and he obviously didn't listen, but he wasn't in such a hurry...... Wait, Lupin, you said Scrimgeour was going to act tomorrow morning?"
"That's the news from Kingsley!" Lupin said worriedly, "Scrimgeour was so impulsive, he's kidding with his life!"
"That's better than doing nothing and waiting for destruction, that's what a Minister of Magic and a veteran Auror should look like. Sirius said solemnly, "He knows that he has nothing to do, but because of his responsibility and mission, there are some things that must be faced head-on and cannot be evaded." Even if he is sent to death, people in the future will commemorate him as a real hero, rather than a cowardly and incompetent coward. Seriously, Scrimgeour was going to do that, and I would rate him a little better, because he'd made so many foolish decisions over the past year, and they were disappointing, almost as bad as they were when Fudge was there. ”
"Rather than waiting for destruction, it is possible to simply attack Malfoy Manor and fight the Death Eaters to survive, but I still think it is too strange, since even the Order of the Phoenix knows the news that the Ministry of Magic is going to attack Malfoy Manor, it is impossible for Voldemort and the Death Eaters not to know. The situation is not good for the Ministry of Magic, and in this case, the attack is even more death, Scrimgeour really intends to send him to death?" Evan analyzed, "Even the attack should be carried out secretly, Scrimgeot will not underestimate Voldemort's power, he should not do it, and his idea has always been to keep the Ministry of Magic first, and then fight the Death Eaters." ”
"Keep the Ministry of Magic!" Sirius sneered, "The Ministry of Magic has long been rotten to the roots, and at least half of the wizards there support Voldemort. ”
"That's why Scrimgeour was doomed to fail, the destruction of the Ministry of Magic was a matter of time, and he was powerless to turn the situation around and lead such a Ministry of Magic to victory in the war. Of course, his decision to attack Malfoy Manor and fight Voldemort now has accelerated the process of destruction. "He's definitely fighting with all the remaining forces of the Ministry of Magic, and from what I know about Scrimgeur, I don't think he should ......."
"You're not alone, the Order of the Phoenix also thinks this is suspicious, and whether Scrimgeour really plans for a decisive battle or something else, we'll need to wait and see before we can make a judgment. "The Mad-Eye has sent someone to keep an eye on the Ministry of Magic, and he's asking me to come and tell you to be on your toes." ”
There was a moment of silence, and everyone seemed to be thinking about the real purpose of Scrimgeur's move.
"Alas!" Sirius sighed eventually, "Scrimgeour has always been a respectable Auror, and while I don't approve of his approach in certain matters, I have nothing to say about him. He should have been well aware of the current situation, but he didn't discard the mess Fudge left behind and walked away, the Ministry of Magic needed him, and he stepped up. Either way, I hope he succeeds, and Scrimgeour may not be very likable, but he can be trusted as an ally. ”
"If he really goes to attack Malfoy Manor now, it may not necessarily be a bad thing, Voldemort is not in the country at the moment, he is ......"
Harry was about to tell the story of his dream that Voldemort was looking for Grigovich in Germany, but he stopped immediately, as Mrs. Weasley, dressed in her pajamas, rushed out of the Burrow in a rage, yelling for Evan and Harry to go upstairs to sleep. Ron had been watching upstairs for a long time, and he didn't have the courage to jump from the stairs like Aven, so he went up the stairs, and as he expected, even though he was very careful and light, he still woke Mrs. Weasley.
Mrs. Weasley was worried about the latest move by the Ministry of Magic, and she had always objected to Sirius, Evan and Harry.
With her intervention, the discussion quickly ended, and Evan and Harry were ordered to go back upstairs to sleep.
