Chapter 229: The Changed and the Unchanged

"That'...... That's black...... The Dark Lord? ”

"O Merlin! Am I dazzled? ”

The wizards were talking, and they couldn't believe what they had just seen, that the man who couldn't be named had really returned. They wanted to think that their brains were broken, but the hall of the Ministry of Magic, which had been beaten to ruins, and the terrifying figure just now, told them:

Yes, the Dark Lord is back!

"He was right there! Minister! He's right there! A man in a ponytail and a red robe shouted, a little hysterical, a little out of voice.

"I ...... I know, I've seen him too......" Fudge said vaguely, "it's incredible...... How is this possible......"

"If you go down to the Department of Mysteries and take a look, you'll see that there are many more people there." Dumbledore put away his wand and beckoned Sirius and the others over, "There are probably a dozen Death Eaters out there, and many of them escaped from Azkaban last time. ”

"You! Dumbledore! Fudge pointed at Dumbledore trembling, a little surprised, and a little indescribable, "Why are you ...... here?"

"Arrest him!" He panicked a little, and suddenly remembered that Dumbledore was still a wanted criminal in the Ministry of Magic, and immediately shouted to the Oro around him.

"Connelly, you don't want me to fight your people again." Dumbledore turned his head to look at the ruined hall, and everyone understood what he meant.

He walked directly in front of Fudge and said calmly, "It turns out that what I have been emphasizing for the past year is true, Voldemort is back, and you have all seen it with your own eyes." ”

"No...... No! Fudge stepped back in a panic, grabbing an equally panicked wizard next to him, but he easily broke free.

Fudge kept looking for his people in the crowd, hoping for a little support, but people mostly turned their heads everywhere he looked.

"Dallux! Dalus! Williamson! Fudge finally saw his most loyal men, "Go to the Department of Mysteries!" Just go! ”

The two men whose names were called immediately rushed to the elevator, and Fudge was looking for his own person again, but this time he didn't see any of them. He wiped a handful of sweat from his head and said to Dumbledore, "For...... Why, this ...... What the hell is going on? ”

"I'll tell you." Dumbledore smiled and patted Fudge on the shoulder, "After we get back to Hogwarts." ”

Dumbledore stepped aside and searched through the rubble to find a statue head that was still intact. He pointed his wand at the head and whispered, "Mentos! ”

"Dumbledore! Stop it! It's against the law! Seeing this, Fudge shouted, "This is an illegal portkey!" ”

Dumbledore turned his head suddenly, and Fudge immediately lost his voice as if he had been choked by the neck.

"I'll tell you what happened here tonight, and of course there's the other ......," Dumbledore said, "but before you can do that, you need to give Dolores Umbridge an order to leave Hogwarts and dismiss Hagrid, and I need him to return to Hogwarts to continue working." ”

As he spoke, he took out a pocket watch from his pocket and opened it to look at it: "I think half an hour is enough......"

"Of course, Harry Potter needs to leave first." He called Harry to him and shoved the statue into Harry's hand. Before Harry could say anything, the portkey led him out of the Ministry of Magic.

After Harry left, Dumbledore continued, "Alright, Connelly, go to your office, let's talk......"

"Sirius, Lupin, go to the Department of Mysteries and bring our people out, some of them are in dire need of treatment......"

"As for ...... here," Dumbledore pointed to the ruined hall, "I don't think we need our help. ”

On the other side, after Lao Fu returned to Malfoy Manor with Ike and Bella, he directly blew up the long table in the basement in anger. This frightened Wormtail and Narcissa and the others who had been waiting.

"Damn old guy, damn it!" He cursed loudly, and almost destroyed the entire basement before the fire subsided slightly.

When he walked to the place where he used to sit, there was no chair, and he had destroyed it just now. Seeing this, Ike took out his wand and waved it gently, and under the effect of the recovery charm, everything changed back to its original state.

Comrade Lao Fu took a deep breath, sat down slowly, lightly tapped his fingers on the handle, and said, "Tell me, what happened?" ”

Bella immediately fell to her knees at Lao Fu's lap, her voice trembling, and told her everything that had happened to the Department of Mysteries. Lao Fu listened quietly and did not interject to ask, but his face became more and more ugly.

"So......" said Lao Fu slowly after Bella finished speaking, "not only have I been captured by a dozen servants, but I have not only gotten the prophecy ball?" ”

"Master......" Before Bella could finish speaking, she was hit by a magic spell and fell straight down, shrinking into a ball on the ground and trembling in pain.

"How many months of preparation, how many months of hard work...... Once again, my servants have lost to Harry Potter and Dumbledore......" Old Fu turned to look at Ike, and then said, "Ike, you have disappointed me......"

"I'm sorry, teacher, for disappointing you." Ike got down on one knee, lowered his head, and naturally rested his right hand on his left knee.

Lao Fu didn't say anything, just stared at Ike who was kneeling, and then looked at Bella, who was still holding back not to shout, waved his hand, and stopped the heart drilling.

"You know, today's events have taught me one thing......" he said, as if to himself, "Harry Potter isn't a hindrance, and the Order of the Phoenix that rebelled against me doesn't matter......"

"Dumbledore, yes, only Dumbledore is the real trouble!"

Suddenly, Lao Fu slapped the handle fiercely, scaring the worm's tail.

"Today, Ike and I can't defeat Dumbledore, it's sad, it......'s sad," he said, pacing, "I need more men, more strength, more power......"

"Then, get rid of that Dumbledore in the way!"

"But ...... master," asked Bella, timidly, "how can we kill him?" ”

"Oh Bella, Bella, Bella......" The old man bent down suddenly, reached out and gently pinched Bella's face, Bella's eyes were immediately closed, and her face showed an expression of intoxication, surrender, and enjoyment.

"Did you know that there are many mysterious magical items in this world, some are legends, some are real......"

"Merlin's legacy, the gift of the gods, the mystery of magic beyond our imagination......"

With that, he let go of Bella's face and sat back in his chair, his fingers tapping the handle lightly again.

"You've all heard a story about Death and the Three Brothers......"
