Chapter One Thousand and Eighty-Two
"It's ...... changed here"
Hermione couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the slightly depressed Diagon Alley, and a week after returning to London, Hermione had already abandoned her desire to live in the Muggle world.
There is no way to do it, whether it is a hurricane or a broken bridge, none of these things can be borne by a Muggle.
Hermione was afraid of what her status would bring to the people around her, especially after the news of Voldemort's return was announced, and the activities of the Death Eaters became more and more rampant.
This worries the girl, as these Death Eaters are no other wizards, and their attitude towards Muggles is that they don't care about their lives or deaths, especially for wizards like her.
This identity......
"It's really changed. Van Lin nodded.
Shortly after the news was announced, Diagon Alley became empty.
It wasn't a safe place right now, either because of the threat from the Death Eaters or, more directly, the pressure from Voldemort forced the wizards present to make a choice.
Stay here, or, leave before the war is fully unfolded.
It was clear that Fudge's Ministry of Magic was no longer able to protect them, and naturally, it was imperative to protect themselves with their own powers, but in the face of a large number of Death Eaters and the memorable vampires of the Quidditch World Cup......
Of course, this is not something that ordinary wizards can resist if they want to.
Naturally, more people will choose to leave.
The way to survive is not just to rebel.
"Let's go, I don't think there's going to be anything to gain today. Van Lin shook his head and prepared to leave.
"Sir, do you need a newspaper?" a newsboy came running quickly, much to the surprise of Van Lin, who did not expect that there were still people selling the Daily Prophet on the street during this period.
However, the Ministry of Magic always needs to promote their ideas, and naturally, there is no way for the newsboys to do it.
"Okay, thank you. Van Lin handed him a few bronze nats, then reached for a copy of the latest Daily Prophet.
It was written with a big headline: Scrimgeour succeeds Fudge!
This is what Van Lin expected, in fact, it was the same in the original, and making different choices naturally has this corresponding result.
If Fudge had chosen to trust Dumbledore as he always did, he would still be the Minister of Magic to this day, but now it seems that Scrimgger would have done a better job than him.
Regarding Scrimgeur, Van Lin still has a certain impression that the main battle faction has been in contact with him during the Quidditch World Cup.
Speaking of which, he is still a difficult person to control, and in some ways, his ideas are often in opposition to those of the Order of the Phoenix.
It's not a good candidate, but right now, there are very few people who dare to oppose Voldemort and have the right to be Minister for Magic.
Dumbledore wasn't a good fit, the Ministry of Magic was a bit complicated, and the nails that the Death Eaters planted in the Ministry of Magic wouldn't allow that to happen.
......
Van Lin focused his gaze on the Daily Prophet.
A large portion of the front page is dominated by a black-and-white photograph of a man with lion-like hair and a scarred face. The picture is movable - the man is waving at the ceiling. Rufus Scrimgeur, former head of the Auror Office of the Law Enforcement Division, has succeeded Cornelius Fudge as Minister of Magic.
The appointment was very popular in wizarding society, but within hours of his inauguration, rumors of a feud between Albus Dumbledore, who had just been reinstated as chief wizard of the Wizengamot, surfaced. Scrimgeur's spokesman admitted that he had a meeting with Dumbledore immediately after taking office as minister, but declined to comment on the topics they discussed.
Albus Dumbledore (3rd edition, 2nd column) There is also a folded newspaper to the left of this one, on which you can see a report titled "The Ministry of Magic Keeps Students Safe".
The new Minister for Magic, Rufus Scrimgeur, said today that they will be taking strong measures to ensure that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry students can return to school safely this fall.
"For well-known reasons, the Ministry of Magic will not release the details of this tight security plan," the Minister said, "but we have been confirmed by informed sources that these measures include a number of defensive spells, a complex set of spell-breaking spells, and a task force dedicated to the safety of Hogwarts students, all made up of the Aurors." β
Most people feel reassured by the new minister's strong stance on student safety. Lady Augusta Longbottom said, "My grandson Neville, who was a good friend of Harry Potter, and by the way, was at the Ministry of Magic last June when he fought alongside Harry against the Death Eatersβ"
"If you are locked in the dungeon, it can be regarded as a confrontation......" Fan Lin shook his head helplessly, and along the way, after phantom transformation, before he knew it, the two of them had returned to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.
Sirius was gone, and he still had a lot of new jobs, such as solving some troubles, or continuing to find where Voldemort was hiding.
This is especially important for their family.
Cappadocia fell into a deep sleep, because of the vampire's identity, sleep does not mean death, but it does not help them in any way.
Of course, there are other things.
For example, in the correspondence with Harry two days ago, Voldemort was looking for another thing at the Ministry of Magic.
But now it seems that Voldemort has a high probability that he has been found, otherwise he would not have hid so peacefully, except for a few dark wizards who died, there was no news at all.
However, Van Lin still wants to go to the Department of Mystery Affairs to find it, but he hesitates about the status of the Department of Mystery Affairs, even Fudge has no right to allow non-related personnel to search the Department of Mystery Affairs, and there are several portals that cannot be opened, even Dumbledore cannot force in, after all, the boundary between life and death is there, and it is very simple to solve a wizard, even if Van Lin believes that even if Dumbledore still has the ability to come back after crossing the portal, Dumbledore did not force it.
In Dumbledore's words, the Ministry of Magic should have secrets and considerations that belong to the Ministry......
However, Van Lin felt that Dumbledore felt that they couldn't get more out of the Ministry of Magic, and even Harry didn't know what Voldemort was looking for, and that they were no different from headless flies if they only guessed.
"It's not Neville's fault. Hermione rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with that. Tavr was also a Death Eater. β
"Oh, of course," Van Lin nodded, for Tavre, although he had no contact, but he was able to succeed Umbridge and lurk in the Ministry of Magic, Van Lin still recognized Tavrell's ability, but according to Harry's description, Taver was very beautiful, but he was a little perverted in his heart.
Shake......
The one who shook around was similar to Bellatrix, and both of them liked the Drill Heart Charm.
Going upstairs and putting the newspaper on his phone, Kreacher put the brewed tea on the table next to Van Lin.
"Thank you, Kreacher!" said Van Lin, "what about Dobby?"
"Dobby and Sparkle are out the door, the ...... of the two house-elves"
"Oh, don't say that, Kreacher!" Hermione frowned, "actually, you can ...... Forget it......"
Hermione didn't say much, Kreacher just bowed and slowly exited the room.
What is that? Van Lin saw something on the table, a purple pamphlet that read: Authorized by the Ministry of Magic
"I don't know," Hermione picked it up, flipped through it briefly, and read it aloud.
Protect you and your family from the dark forces, and the magical society is currently under threat from an organization calling itself the Death Eaters. Following these simple safety rules will help protect yourself and your family from attack......
1. Don't leave the house alone.
2. Pay special attention at night. Wherever you are, try to end your journey outside before dark.
3. Review the safety facilities around the house and make sure that every family member knows what to do in case of an emergency. For example: Iron Armor Charm and Phantom Body Charm, for underage family members, there is a magic avoidance charm.
4. Identify safety questions with your family members and close friends to prevent Death Eaters from using Polyjuice decoction to disguise themselves as others. (See page 2 for details)
5. If you sense something unusual about your family member, co-worker, friend, or neighbor, immediately inform the Magical Law Enforcement Team, as they may have been caught under the Imperius Curse. (See page 4).
6. If the Dark Mark appears anywhere, don't go inside, contact the Auror office immediately.
7. Unconfirmed sightings suggest that the Death Eaters may be using the Shadow Flyer. Anyone who sees anything like this should report it to the Ministry of Magic immediately.
"I'm willing to bet no one will do that, except for a few, some ordinary wizards will just choose to leave here. Van Lin said lightly, then threw the Ministry of Magic brochure onto the table next to him.
"So, there's going to be war, isn't it?"
"I'm afraid so. Van Lin pretended to be relaxed, as if to resolve the worry on Hermione's face, but it didn't help, some things couldn't be solved by his denial.
"So, that guy, I mean...... The missing member of the Order of the Phoenix, she ...... Is she dead?"
"I'm afraid so. "In fact, we found her body where the Muggle Prime Minister was, she was killed by the Death Eaters, perhaps because they wanted to control the Muggle Prime Minister......"
"Control the Muggle Prime Minister, what do they want?"
"I don't know, maybe it's paralyzing Muggle society. In fact, they have succeeded, if nothing else, there is now a Muggle government official inside the St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which Kingsley told me, and not long ago, Fudge and Scrimgeour went together to meet the Muggle Prime Minister and inform them of the news of Voldemort's return, and now it is mainly Kingsley who is responsible for the safety of the Muggle Prime Minister. β
"How can they do that, I mean...... It's a thing of the wizarding world......"
Hermione felt a little bad that she had tried to avoid more contact with Muggle families, but in fact, that didn't change anything.
"But they wanted to enslave Muggles in the first place, and controlling a leader was obviously an effective way, which was not difficult for wizards, and fortunately, the security of every Muggle Prime Minister was good, and since the establishment of the Ministry of Magic, they had not relaxed their surveillance of Muggle Prime Ministers, especially in bad times. Van Lin touched his nose, "Kingsley told me that now the Muggle Prime Minister has been forbidden to leave the sight of the Ministry of Magic, which is equivalent to imprisonment, but no matter what, this is the fate of the Muggle Prime Minister, and in the face of Voldemort, Muggles can't resist it at all......"
Hermione's expression was a little dark, and now the situation was getting worse by the day, which was really hard for the girl to accept.
"Alright, Hermione, as long as we hit him, everything will work out......"
"It's hard to ......," Hermione said, hanging her head, "but I trust you. β
Hermione said, hugging Vanlin.
Feeling each other's body temperature seems to calm all the bad moods, but it doesn't really solve the problem.
"Young Master Fan Lin, Young Master Fan Lin......"
Dobby's voice rang out untimely from behind Van Lin.
In fact, every time you see Dobby, you can bring different feelings of joy to others, especially Dobby's strange outfit.
The scarf Hermione gave Dobby was hanging diagonally over the shoulders of the house-elves, socks of different colors, if Verlin read correctly, they were human stockings, but they were too long for Dobby, one end of the sock was above Dobby's knee, gray jumpsuit......
Okay, I can't know for sure, but it was a mess of strips of cloth that became Dobby's clothes, and the only thing that seemed normal was the little brown leather shoes that Mr. Al gave Dobby.
The baby model, even so, doesn't fit as well on Dobby's feet, and Van Lin suspects that Dobby will throw his shoes off if he walks on his legs.
And Twilight behind Dobby is still the same, just like when she first came out of Barty Crouch's house, Sparkle still hasn't given up Barty Crouch's costume, even though she is now working with Dobby for Van Lin and Hogwarts.
"What's wrong, Dobby?" Hermione hurriedly let go of Van Lin and pushed it, even if it was a house-elf bumper, but the warm environment was broken, and the conditioned reflex always made Hermione feel a little uncomfortable.
