The German Ministry of Magic Building, a symbol of the unity of the German wizarding community in the Gothic and Baroque architectural styles of the ancient Saxon Wizarding Age, was completed by many wizards who apparently felt that this combination was not a success, but a very unreasonable parallel combination of styles - conservatives opposed to Muggle aesthetics, while reformists did not like the bloated antiquity of the main building. Ludwig Hoffmann, a city architectural consultant and architect who had a great influence on the German wizarding world, was particularly scathing in his criticism: he called the building a "high-class corpse carrier".

The German Minister of Magic, Rudolf Hess, was giving his speech, and his usual loyal and old-fashioned face was now as rigid as a brick. The Minister of Magic had red, bloodshot eyes, a scruffy beard, and a gray, haggard face. His neat hair and beard needed to be washed and trimmed.

"Good evening, wizards, this is my thirty-seventh public speech in front of the Ministry of Magic, and it is here that key decisions in the history of our wizarding world have been made... Every time I stand here, it is to discuss with you important issues of interest to the German wizarding community, and any decision made during my term of office is to serve our German wizarding community as best as possible, and in the face of the recent unpredictable situation, I have always made it my duty to 'persevere', and I hope to do my best to complete the term of ministerial given to me by the German wizards..."

The tone of Hess's voice fully illustrated that the sudden chaos and complexity of the German wizarding world had made the minister haggard. Unable to deal with it, the position of the podium was much farther away from the audience than before, separated by a yellow dividing line, and the heavily armed Aurors lined up on both sides to maintain order, and the beaters, who were on the cusp of the previous incident, did not appear in the venue, apparently to avoid irritating the ordinary people who were making a commotion below so that the voices of protest would not drown out the speeches.

"But through my communication with other officials within the Ministry of Magic, I understand that because of my mistake in decision-making, I will not be able to continue to receive the support of the directors of other departments, without which I will not be able to fulfill my responsibilities for the German wizarding community and take measures that will benefit the German wizarding community and improve the situation... I have never been a half-person, and it is completely contrary to my code of conduct to advance my term of office during such periods. But as a minister, I must always put the interests of the German wizarding community first...

Germany now needs a fully committed Minister of Magic, and an equally dedicated Ministry, especially at such a critical time when there are challenges both at home and abroad... Therefore, I hereby declare that I am willing to resign, effective immediately, and that the Directors of the Ministry of Magic will form an interim decision-making cabinet until my successor is chosen..."

The news of Hess's intention to resign suddenly reduced the noise of the protesting wizards, and it was still unexpected for most people that the German Minister of Magic really supported it, although there were indeed many signs they held indicating this request for the Minister of Magic to step down, but at this time, the magic that made them protest quieter seemed redundant.

"I have to admit that the decisions and judgments I may have made sometimes, like most ordinary people, were wrong—and this part of the day was wrong—even if I believe they were the determination that seemed to me to be in the best interests of our magical community. I will always be grateful for your support to my friends and colleagues who have been with me during this difficult time, and to those who believe in me because they believe that I am right, and I will not speak ill of those who have decided not to give me any more support, believing that our original intention is to be independent and prosperous in our magical world, regardless of our judgment. And to the wizards who suffered because of my wrong decisions... I can't say sorry to you when I'm in this position, but I'll do my best to form some foundations to compensate you...

In any case, we German wizards must unite in these difficult times for a common goal, with the goal of peace, to resist and replace the greedy and cunning intentions of those who seek to wreak havoc on our country and even subvert it, which is what is necessary to sustain our German wizards in a dignified life..."

Outside, the scene was eerily quiet, except for the wind and Hess's speech, but on the contrary, within the Ministry of Magic, the heads of the various departments that made up the provisional cabinet were in an argument.

"I think it's time for me, the propagandist, to make something that will stir people's hearts. Goebbels straightened his hair and wanted to go out to speak on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, "You see those mudbloods are calming down a lot. ”

"I'm coming back late!" Heinrich Thälmann, the director of the German Aurors, was also furious at this time, "You fools pushed Minister Hess out, pinned your hopes on Hess, and wanted him to take all the blame... Do you think this is really something he can solve by resigning? There is no substantive solution, and the wizards who can't get by in those days don't need any of your speeches at such times... I told you that the striker was under the Imperius Curse, and the reason why things have come to this point is that there is no force behind it, who would believe it? My people have found out that these protest groups were engaged in organized incitement before they broke out..."

"Paul, you think so beautifully, you want to be a minister if you have achieved something? I was the first to disagree. Göring slapped the table heavily and questioned, "As for Heinrich, you don't have the qualifications to run for the election, do you? Because isn't this itself something that your Aurors' incompetence provoked us? yes, we all know that behind these protests... You don't have to guess to know that this is Harris's revenge, but isn't it also that you and Hess, the two hawks, are planning to provoke them with those stupid Bulgarians? Hess is voluntary, no one forces him, he just loses the bet... We're generous enough that we didn't push you out!I've been bringing in a bunch of floats to give hope to the populace that they'll support me as Minister of Magic. ”

"Aren't you afraid that Harris will come back and take your place back?" and now blame me and Hess?" Heinrich's face flushed, "And the Joachimes?"

"Don't look at me like that, that champagne dealer was already scared by Harris. Goering relied on his fat body advantage to look at him without giving an inch, "He doesn't dare to continue to oppose Harris, his position should naturally be relinquished... so that we can put an end to Harris's infiltration and keep the German wizarding community dignified and decent..."

"Herman, you say it nicely," Heinrich sighed, his voice softened a little, "we don't have the top power to deal with the Dark Lord and that Alan Harris... You all know what happened to Dumbledore and Grindelwald that night, Lord Goering, times have changed, even if the White Wizard and the former Dark Lord join forces, they are not the opponents of the Mysteries, and the Mysteries are not the opponents of Alan Harris..."Heinrich paused worriedly, "There is no problem that I am not the Minister of Magic, this time it is true that my department is responsible, but not to mention the top power, our Aurors need a lot of money and manpower to really reform to be able to fight the British, did you hear what the goblins said?" They are now even putting the blame for being robbed on us... Even if the people had not been instigated, they would not have been satisfied with Hess's resignation... What's more, they still have Harris behind them... As long as anyone has a way, I will say that I will support him to become the next minister of the Ministry of Magic, Hess is right, we can't fight among ourselves anymore..."

As if to confirm Heinrich's concerns, the areas where the light earplug listening spell was cast in order to avoid affecting the speech were clearly and tacitly heard three doubts.

"If you mess things up, you'll leave, coward, is this a kind of shirking of his duties, will he leave when he's done enough?"

"Who should solve the problem of compensation for our victims? The beaters run faster than anyone else against outsiders, but they fight our own innocent people harsher than anyone else..."

"Think about how many purebloods of Grindelwald's followers and Mystic men escaped punishment with the universal pretext of being cast a Imperius curse. ”

This caused an uproar among the protesters, the temporary shock and pleasure brought by the resignation of the Minister of Magic and the subsequent sense of helplessness quickly dissipated invisibly, the existential problems in reality, the insecurity caused by violent law enforcement, and the anger that the officials of the Ministry of Magic in their own country wanted to resign and escape responsibility for the trouble, and the loss of trust in the Ministry of Magic reminded the protesters of the purpose and anger of their protests, and they held up "clarify responsibilities", "return my property", "step down of the Ministry of Magic" and other placards, chanting slogans such as "Never allow one to leave" and "Thorough investigation and accountability", it seems that the trend of opposition is no different from Hess's announcement of resignation.

......

Then, as if pinching a point, at this moment, huge black fabrics began to appear in the sky of the German Ministry of Magic building, and even above the heads of many German wizards' gathering places, they rose from the ground and rolled towards the place where the wizards gathered on the ground.
