Chapter 100: Heavy Losses and Great Trouble for the United States
The next day, the man who couldn't even mention his name returned. A short statement on Sunday night by the temporary spokesman for the Ministry of Magic www.biquge.info confirmed that the man whose name he could not even mention had returned to the country and was once again active. He brought people into the Ministry of Magic later on Saturday, and it has been confirmed that the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fortie, and the Director of the Law of Magic Enforcement, Amelia Bones, and other officials have been killed.
Pierce Hinkenes, the interim minister of the Ministry of Magic, said that Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office, had ended his leave early and rushed back to London. Given the gravity and urgency of the situation, the election of new ministers will be held next Monday.
"It is with great regret that I have to announce that the Mysteries are alive and active among us again," Sinkenis said in a speech to reporters, looking tired and embarrassed, with a solemn expression, "and it is also regrettable that we have to inform the Dementors of Azkaban that there has been a massive rebellion, and that they have expressed their opposition to continuing to work for the Ministry of Magic." We believe that these Dementors are currently working as mystery people. β
"We strongly appeal to the people of the wizarding world to remain vigilant. The Ministry of Magic is publishing a guide to the initial defense of families and individuals, which will be distributed free of charge to all wizarding families within the next month. β
The Ministry of Magic's statement has caused alarm and unease in the wizarding community, despite the fact that they had just received assurances from the Ministry last Wednesday that "no matter what rumors are circulating at the moment, the idea that mysterious people are once again operating among us is pure nonsense." β
Exactly what prompted the Ministry of Magic to take a 180-degree turn, the details are unknown, but one thing is certain, the man whose name is not even mentioned led a group of followers (known as the Death Eaters) into the Ministry on Saturday night, where a fierce battle broke out with Dumbledore in the Atrium, and so far we know that twenty Ministry officials have been killed, and the number of Aurors killed has not yet been announced. The hall of the Ministry of Magic has been completely destroyed, and the reconstruction is being carried out at an accelerated pace, which is expected to be completed before the new minister takes office.
Albus Dumbledore, who has been reinstated as Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, member of the International Confederation of Wizards, and Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot, has spent the past year insisting that the Mystic Man is not dead as everyone hoped and believed, and that he has once again rallied his supporters to regain power. It is currently reported that Dumbledore is being treated at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries - a hospital spokesman said there is no such thing,
However, when we learned that Dumbledore had been reinstated as Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he did not immediately return to the school to take up his duties. ββ
"Really," Daphne looked at the teacher's box, Dumbledore in the middle empty, "you say he's really hurt?"
"Probably that," Phoenix was scooping porridge into his bowl, "don't you know that?"
Slytherin students know far more than they read in the newspapers. For example, Ollivander is assisting the Ministry of Magic in identifying personnel, carefully separating various wreckage from the space the size of a Bludger, allowing him to judge some wand materials to determine the victims.
They turned their heads to look at Draco not far away, and there were a few students around him, all of whom were the children of Death Eaters who had been at the Ministry of Magic last night. The dementors' ramp did not immediately disable Azkaban from the ability to guard his prisoners. As a prison guarded by magical creatures, it has more than one security measure.
"They have nothing to complain about, at least their parents are still alive. β
Phoenix poured some minced meat into the porridge, "Rogge, people have a strong ability to remember pain. β
This week is probably the quietest time in the castle. No one wants to go out, and no one thinks the castle is safe. It's only when people feel a little safe when they're together, and people in the common room either get together in groups or simply revise for the OWL exam.
No one wants to wander the hallways, it's a bit like a second-year room incident. Everyone hurried to the next class teacher after class, and when they went to the bathroom, they were also in groups, as if Voldemort and the Death Eaters were at Hogsmeade ready to attack Hogwarts.
I really don't know why they are so sensitive.
Unable to stand the oppressive atmosphere in the room, Phoenix got up and planned to library. But as soon as he got out of the door, he changed his mind, Snape should be back, he still has class tomorrow. I just don't know which side he went to first.
"Please come in. Snape said in a tired voice.
Phoenix entered, and Snape staggered to his feet, his face haggard, dark circles under his eyes, and a strong smell of medicine.
"You look tired?" said Phoenix, sitting in the chair across from his desk, his eyes surveying Snape's newly added specimen.
"Just got back from headquarters a few hours ago," Snape sat down, "Dumbledore is in a bad condition, he was injured a lot before he left to save Potter, some kind of spell or some kind of magic, that spell is weird-"
So Potter was unscathed. He asked, surprised.
"Yes, but he'll stay at Headquarters for the time being until Dumbledore is regained. He believes that the school's current security is too weak and that it is dangerous to keep Potter at the castle. β
"So you don't know about Voldemort?" Phoenix continued.
"I don't know. Snape's dark eyes stared straight at Phoenix, "I've only confirmed a few Death Eater deaths - Bella, Rudolph, Jargson. β
"It's all some miscellaneous fish, but Bella is dead?" Phoenix was visibly interested, "and maybe her death would be a surprise to me." β
Snape looked at Phoenix in bewilderment, and he smiled without explanation.
"Is there a clue to the HQ β the thing I asked you to find?" Phoenix lowered his voice and leaned forward slightly, as if he was worried that others would hear.
"No, I searched his room and found nothing. I don't have enough time, I'll be looking for an opportunity. Snape said truthfully.
"Gotta turn that house upside down, if notβ" Phoenix didn't continue, but the meaning was clear. They're in big trouble.
The locket could be hidden anywhere by Regulus, Gringotts, Hogwarts, find a cave or something, and apply magic, it's really hard to start.
When he returned, Draco handed him a letter.
"What Eden sent seems to be very important. Draco said weakly.
"Thank you. "Open the letter, it's very long. When Phoenix left the Ministry of Magic, there was also a blow on the European continent against Klaus's forces. Several Ministries of Magic succeeded in a coup d'Γ©tat in less than twenty-four hours, and without a sound.
Klaus did not show up and did not put up any resistance. In fact, earlier today, several die-hard elements went to Poland to make a final stand.
In the letter, Carlo suspected that Klaus was in Poland and was probably in poor condition, unable to walk or unconscious. He thought that Phoenix's plan was quite successful, and many people took a stand in favor of him. Apparently, they thought Klaus was finished, and Smith in North America wrote that last year's Gringotts profits had left for Switzerland.
"Good news?" Draco said with dissatisfaction as he saw the corners of Phoenix's mouth rise slightly.
"Yes," Phoenix put away the letter, "don't be unhappy, your father is fine." β
"Phoenix!" Rogge ran over, his face flushed, "Professor McGonagall looking for you, it seems that something has happened to the Ministry of Magic?"
Rogge said that Professor McGonagall made it so urgent that whatever he was doing, go to the Chancellor's office immediately. Confused, Phoenix knocked on the office door.
"Please come in. The tone was very hurried.
"Mr. Peverell, the Minister has just written. Professor McGonagall picked up an old teapot and walked around her desk as she spoke, "There's a major magical exposure in the United States - all Floo networks and the Transfiguration public area are transferring support personnel from various countries to the United States, and someone at the Ministry of Magic will explain the details to you." β
McGonagall sighed and placed the teapot on the table, "Mentos!"
The innocent teapot glowed blue, making the table creak, and after a few seconds, it was motionless again.
A high-pitched voice came from high on the wall, and a yellow-faced wizard with black hair and short bangs had just returned to his empty canvas.
"Minerva, the Minister has just returned to his office after dealing with the transfer of Russian amnesiates. β
"Thank you, Evra. Professor McGonagall said, then quickly turned to look at Phoenix, "Good luck to you." β
"I knew that when everything went well, there was always going to be trouble. He stepped forward and touched the teapot with his index finger. (To be continued.) )
