Chapter 241: The Ministry of Magic is shocked
"Find!" Dumbledore swiped his magic through the air, drawing the image of a crown, "That's it!"
A bunch of people used their hands to use magic to float up and check everything in the pile, and threw it on other garbage heaps if it wasn't crowned. Horcruxes often have a powerful resistance charm on them, and ordinary magic can't displace them, so soon a small pile of things with resistance charms are left on the ground, and then you need to manually search for them - with a clear goal and a lot of strength, you can quickly find the Ravenclaw crown.
The crown was a glittering crown of jewels, and on the base of the crown was engraved the famous Ravenclaw motto, "Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest treasure of mankind." β
"No one has seen this thing in years...... Dumbledore sighed as he took the crown, "and it doesn't seem to have as much protective magic on it as it does on the Slytherin pendant." β
"Legend has it that Rowena Ravenclaw has cast a spell on this crown to make the wearer smart!" Hermione looked at the crown with shiny eyes, "I don't think anyone would want to take this crown and destroy it, so Lady Ravenclaw didn't put too many protective spells on it!"
"What Hermione said should be what Miss Ravenclaw really thought, and my gut told me that this thing was not as difficult to deal with as the last pendant. Dumbledore happily led the group out of the Room of Requirement. "When the Ministry of Magic reinforcements arrive, we can get rid of the pile outside, and we can destroy this crown where we destroyed the diary. β
ββ
Dumbledore led the group out of the Room of Need, and Harry suddenly held his head uneasily, as if he had a headache.
"What's the matter, Harry!" Hermione was the first to notice, "Once you've found the crown, you can restore the Occlumency, don't let him invade your brain!"
"Harry, use Occlumency, quick!" McGonagall hurried over to check on Harry.
"Oops, Voldemort - he's going to attack the Ministry!" Harry exclaimed nervously, "Someone from the Ministries has turned off the guards!"
Everyone looked around Hogwarts, and the mountains were full of corpses, and they hadn't retreated yet.
"Don't be scary, Harry. Tonks said reproachfully.
A blue smog burst into the sky, forming a sign of the Ministry of Magic - it was the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic who had come to help!
"It's a mystery man's ploy! I want to make us nervous, you see, the Ministry of Magic isn't here to solve the siege. Lockhart said lightly, "Let's go out and help, the Aurors can't deal with mysteries and so many Death Eaters." β
"Okay, I'll go first, and you guys will come over at once. Dumbledore nodded, not daring to let Voldemort kill too many reinforcements from the Ministry of Magic, and after lifting the shield, he was the first to turn into a white light and rush out of Hogwarts.
Leaving Harry and the others behind, the other professors then used all means to get under the mark, only to be surprised to find that more than two dozen Aurors were clearing the corpse with Dumbledore, and had not fought Voldemort and the Death Eaters.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, Voldemort seems to have left, leaving only the Yin Corpses here, clean up!" - Dumbledore wanted to let go of his hand to deal with the Yin Corps, that scene was really fierce, killing the Yin Corps was like mowing grass, from the south to the north, one person cleaned up more than half.
ββ
A large crowd gathered at the gates of Hogwarts.
It was Scrimgeour himself who led the Aurors, and it seems that he was really afraid of Voldemort and was not worried about the new director Gadwin. "What did he do around Hogwarts?"
"Didn't do anything, the siege scared a little, the Aurors were coming, and they ran......" Lockhart replied, he was suddenly a little nervous: "What's going on with the Ministry of Magic, this can't be the mysterious man's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!"
"No way, the Ministry of Magic's shield is always open......"
"As I said, there's an internal response within the Ministry, and Voldemort is probably already storming the Ministry by now!" Harry shouted anxiously, and it was a shame for a group of adults not to take his words seriously. "Whether it's a hallucination he gave me, you'll find out when you go back!"
Scrimgeour looked at Harry in surprise, he had no idea that Harry was connected to Voldemort's soul, but decided to be careful. "Headmaster Dumbledore, you shut down the anti-apparition at Hogwarts for the time being, let's go back to the Ministry. β
"Well, hard work. Dumbledore waved his wand lightly, and everyone suddenly felt the space around them less rigid - but then alerted again.
"Have you lifted them all, but I still can't apparition. Scrimgeour was nervous and blurted out, "Who shut down the network of Floo in this area!" I didn't inform the Department of Transportation...... Contact the Ministry of Magic and get them to connect to the Floo network in this area immediately. β
"Can't be contacted!"
"Oops, I understand why the Mystic went to great lengths to block the magic signals in this area, not so that we could not send out the distress signals, but so that we could not receive the Ministry of Magic's distress signals!" Lockhart figured it out at once, "I'm afraid what Harry saw is true, we need to go back to the Ministry of Magic now!"
"What......" Dumbledore was also startled, "Wait, calm down, I want to think about it......"
"I see. Hermione's mind has always turned fast: "The mysterious man attacked Hogwarts first, scared us into hiding inside, and at the same time attracted all the most elite Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, I am afraid that the Aurors will leave the Ministry of Magic with a phantom on their front foot, and the mysterious man will lead a phantom to attack the Ministry of Magic on his own hind foot, and at the same time, the Ministry of Magic should close the defense of the Ministry of Magic, and then cut off the Floo network to prevent the Aurors from returning to support." β
"That's right, I didn't feel right just now, but Hogwarts has always been unable to apparition, so I didn't remember what went wrong, it's over, we have to go back quickly!" Scrimgeour was so anxious that the bruises on his forehead came out, "Mr. Dumbledore, you open all the defenses of Hogwarts and go with us, I'm afraid it's a big trouble now, but as long as we take back the Ministry of Magic, we can still go back to Hogwarts immediately, don't worry about the situation here." β
"Minerva, you take over the headmaster of Hogwarts first, and Horace and them guard Hogwarts, and Tonks stays, without further ado, let's go!"
ββ
The Aurors, as well as some members of the Order of the Phoenix, flew from Hogwarts to London with the best broomsticks they could find, and after some distance away, they resumed their communication with the Ministry of Magic, but then received the bad news that the Ministry of Magic had been charged by the Death Eaters, and even the Aurors who stayed behind could only pretend to surrender and secretly tell them the news.
At the time of Voldemort's appearance, the Ministry of Magic's defenses had been shut down, and the Minister of Magic escaped being killed because he didn't learn Occlumency well, but was controlled by the Imperius Curse, and now the entire Ministry of Magic is under the control of the Death Eaters.
"How can this be, I said a long time ago, too many wizards from pure-blood families hold important positions in the Ministry of Magic, and something will happen sooner or later!" Lockhart said angrily, "This time it must be those pure-blood people who have turned off the Ministry of Magic's defensive magic and Floo net." β
"I'm not the Minister of Magic, and there are so many good half-blood and Muggle-born wizards!" Scrimgeour also said annoyedly, "And it may be that the staff of the Ministry of Magic were controlled by the Imperius Curse to lead this situation, you have the ability to become the Minister of Magic yourself, and then use all half-blood wizards to manage the Ministry of Magic!"
"I think Voldemort is already waiting for us at the Ministry of Magic at this time......" During the high-speed flight, it became difficult to speak, but fortunately everyone was wizards - Lupin hesitated, "maybe we should go back to Hogwarts and ask the International Council of Wizards for help, and let wizards from other countries interfere?"
"You're naΓ―ve, Remus. Dumbledore shook his head, "The great war that swept the entire wizarding and Muggle world fifty years ago, England is the country with the most intact Muggle and wizard preserved strength in the whole of Europe, this guide: Until now, the British Ministry of Magic has been the center of the European wizarding world, and wizards in other countries have long been dissatisfied with this. β
"That's right, this English wizarding civil war, other countries must be stealing fun, it's okay not to come in and intervene," Scrimgeour also said in disappointment. "As for asking them to help us eliminate the Mysteries and Death Eaters, don't even think about it. β
"But they're dark wizards!"
"Hehe, you're even more naΓ―ve, Gildero, you can try to ask the International Anti-Black Arts Association for help, they will definitely want you to show complete evidence to prove it...... Wait until you've gathered enough evidence, and the daylilies are cold!"
"No one has come out of this when the daylily is rancid...... It's considered disciplined that they don't tie you up and hand you over to the new rulers of the British wizarding world. Dumbledore had to continue pouring cold water: "The so-called black and white wizards are completely the saying that the winner is king, and the loser is the villain. If I can't reclaim the Ministry of Magic this time, the Daily Prophet can let me transform into the First Dark Wizard overnight to show you. β
Lockhart stopped talking...... The Ministry of Magic can package itself as a hero in the wizarding world, as long as it controls public opinion, and it is completely fine to call itself the most evil dark wizard.
A group of wizards couldn't discuss the results for a while, so they could only fly over the towns and villages on broomsticks, and it seemed that Voldemort had asked Nai Ying to shut down the entire British Floo network, and could only fly all the way to London, Hogwarts in Scotland...... and London is separated from almost the whole of the United Kingdom.
"What should we do if the mystery man opens the Floo network to Hogwarts and attacks the school at this time?"
"There's no need to worry, the Ministry of Magic can only close the Floo network to Hogwarts, but there is no way to bypass the Floo network in the area we are flying over along the way to open a Floo network that only goes to Hogwarts, if he wants to sneak attack Hogwarts, we can also use the Floo network they opened to go back directly...... Or go straight to the Ministry of Magic. Scrimgeour explained comfortingly, "And the Death Eaters must have made it their priority to keep the Ministry of Magic firmly in check, and it is unlikely that they will risk attacking Hogwarts after their victory." β
"So we're going to break into the Ministry of Magic?" Gardwin asked Scrimgeour uneasily, "what will happen to the Ministries of Magic?"
