Chapter 429: Control
A large group of goblins fell to the ground, or fell on people.
Swing your weapon.
They rushed into Gringotts in a hurry.
"Kill these traitors!" A elf reached out and built a platform for itself, and it stood on it, raising its finger forward, "Take back the wealth that belongs to us!" ”
The goblins at Gringotts were a little overwhelmed.
The wizards were also frightened.
It was only when the two goblins at the door were cut down by the rebels and the blood irritated their eyes that they finally reacted and screamed in horror.
Snape glanced up again at the Dark Mark floating around his head.
Without saying a word, he followed the tail of the goblin team and walked into Gringotts.
Ministry of Magic.
Scrimgeour has been doing well lately.
Although the wild hunt made such a big noise, he had to go to great lengths to explain to the Prime Minister that the Ministry of Magic had worked overtime for three days before the consequences of this incident were completely eliminated, and the external rhetoric was that it was a spy who sabotaged the gas pipeline and caused a large-scale explosion, and as for the frost, it was a normal phenomenon caused by cold weather and too large temperature difference.
Great Britain strongly condemns this!
The country on the other side of the strait acquiesced.
A few countries, which are incompatible with Great Britain, responded positively.
This is an extremely egregious incident.
But it had little effect on Scrimgeur, and wizards never paid attention to Muggles. The Minister of Magic handled the matter beautifully, and in just three days, all speculation about wizards had vanished, and Great Britain was now talking about the country across the Channel.
Moreover, even because of the appearance of a new enemy.
The internal anomaly of the Ministry of Magic suddenly became stable.
If it weren't for Harry and Dumbledore's personal request, the Ministry of Magic wouldn't even be putting any effort into Mr. Scamander. However. There were only a few people, and the reaction was still too slow, which made the whole incident break out so tragically.
The officials of the Ministry of Magic, who had wavered in favor of Sinkenes before, were now standing by Scrimgour's side.
Sinkenness was suspended for investigation.
Those officials who had been associated with the Death Eaters were also suspended one after another.
Just waiting for the final judgment.
In the minister's office.
Scrimgeour flipped through the Prime Minister's letters of protest to himself, and almost every week, there would be one, and the Wild Hunt was a huge stain on the current Prime Minister.
The office door was suddenly pushed open.
Kingsley, the current head of the Auror Office, walked in and frowned: "Minister, bad news, Gringotts has been attacked. ”
"Attacked again?" Scrimgeour looked up, incredulous, "Who?" ”
He was uneasy.
The last time Gringotts was attacked, it was Voldemort who was resurrected there.
And this time?
"Goblin Rebellion." Kingsley replied.
Scrimgeour breathed a sigh of relief: "The elves are rebelling again?" You can handle this kind of thing yourself and then report back to me. ”
Goblin rebellion is nothing new.
They are very sensitive creatures.
Every hundred years there is a big rebellion, with a few small rebellions in between.
The reasons are bizarre.
Because Wizengamot has no goblin representatives, because the goblins in Gringotts died unexpectedly, and because Hogwarts has never returned the sword that was stolen by Gryffindor.
There was even the fact that a wizard imprisoned a goblin who tried to kill three wizards, and because the Ministry of Magic arrested a goblin who peddled goblin gold coins, the kind of magic coins that disappear after a certain amount of time
However, in the twentieth century, the elves rebelled much less.
The radicals are old and dead.
But it's just less, not very much.
The Ministry of Magic is much easier to deal with these things than it was a century or two ago.
"I'm afraid the Auror office can't handle it." Kingsley shook his head.
Scrimgeour was stunned.
Kingsley raised his hand and held up all his fingers: "It is estimated that there are five or six hundred goblins, but I think this number may be a bit exaggerated, but one or two hundred should be there." ”
"So much? Where did it come from? Scrimgeour snapped to his feet.
Kingsley shook his head and continued: "There's worse news. ”
"Those goblins have armor and weapons, but luckily, they don't have wands."
Scrimgeour frowned, "Anything else?" ”
He just asked.
Kingsley nodded genuinely: "The worst news, along with them, there is also a dark wizard who released the Dark Mark. ”
Scrimgeour chuckled in his heart, and his voice was a little distorted: "Dark mark? ”
"The Dark Wizard is."
"Probably not a mystery man." Kingsley kept his voice as gentle as he could, not giving Scrimgeour any more stimulation, "He's wearing a hood and can't see what he looks like, but he's magical, and he's able to break the shadow locks we've put in place. ”
Scrimgeour stepped out from behind his desk, "Go to Hogwarts and ask Mr. Potter and Mr. Dumbledore!" ”
"How many of them are available on the Aurors now?"
On the word "usable", he accentuated his tone.
Kingsley understood what he meant, followed in his footsteps, and quickly replied, "There are only twenty of them." ”
Naturally, there are more members in the Auror office than that.
But.
Most Aurors with simple training can only handle minor disputes between wizards.
Like this, most of them are not qualified to suppress the goblin rebellion or even fight the dark wizards.
"What about other departments?" Scrimgeour asked.
Kingsley shrugged, he was just an Auror chief of staff, who didn't know what was going on in the other departments.
Walking to the elevator door, Scrimgeour finally calmed down completely: "Kingsley, you go and organize Operation Aurors. ”
"For the rest, let them keep an eye on Sinkenes, and the other suspended wizards."
Kingsley responded.
Scrimgeour turned his head and instructed the secretary next to him, "Go and contact the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control, and the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, and let them organize the manpower, it must be useful." ”
"The Elven Liaison Office keeps an eye on the other elves in Great Britain, and we can't have any more enemies."
"Contact the Department of Transportation, turn off all the fireplaces in Diagon Alley, and organize the people at the Phantom Shift Test Center to control the lock lock in Tumble Alley."
He paused and instructed the other secretary, "You go and contact the Department of Mysteries, and they will give as many people as they can." ”
Hundreds of goblins, armor, weapons.
If you don't handle it well, your position as minister will come to an end.
Scrimgeour turned back, "I'll contact Dumbledore and Mr. Potter personally." ”
He went back to his office.
Sprinkle the fireplace with Floo powder and stick only your head in.
Dumbledore was in his office, arguing with Fawkes.
This phoenix controls its sugar intake every day.
It's all to blame for Harry's mouth, and it's not good for the health of the elderly to eat too much sugar.
I'm a wizard!
What's wrong with eating a little more sugar?
