Chapter Fifty-Nine: Ministry of Magic, Look at What You've Protected!

What happened on Christmas night in 1995 was destined to leave a mark on the entire history of British magic.

The late arrival of the Daily Prophet is a novelty. In normal times, even in bad weather, the owls will deliver the newspaper to the customer on time.

Occasionally, if you delay a little because you need to change the news, you will be less than five minutes late at most.

Today, the Daily Prophet was three hours late, for the first time since the newspaper was launched!

This has led almost all wizards to wonder what is the reason why the Daily Prophet is so late?

And when they get the newspaper, they almost can't wait to open it and find out.

The wizards didn't have to wait long, they quickly found the answer on the first page of the newspaper, and they were all shocked.

Last night was Christmas Eve, and everyone was enjoying the food at home, admiring the snowfall outside the window, and feeling the singing and dancing of the wizarding world.

But unexpectedly, in that calm night, the Department of Mysterious Affairs of the Ministry of Magic was actually invaded by the mysterious man and his Death Eaters and dark creatures!

What's even more frightening is that Minister Fudge has been captured and Senior Deputy Secretary Umbridge has mysteriously disappeared!

Even your own ministers and deputy ministers can't protect well, Ministry of Magic, look at what you have protected?

But the news didn't end there, and another heavyweight news was published on the second page - before the intruders were caught, there was a mysterious prison robbery in Azkaban.

According to the author Rita, she has reliable first-hand information that proves that the mysterious person personally participated in the prison robbery, and even directly led to the complete destruction of the entire Azkaban Island, turning it into a deep pit in the ocean.

After reading the two news, the same sentence came to the minds of all wizards again: Ministry of Magic, what can you protect?

As soon as these two blockbuster news came out, they directly shook the entire British wizarding world and quickly spread to other countries.

After all, although the sun never sets on the empire now, it is no longer majestic, but after all, it is still supported by Dumbledore, the first person in the world on the bright side, and at the same time, the ancestors are still very brilliant.

Their unique jailers, the Azkaban Wizard Prison and the Dementors, have a great reputation throughout the international wizarding community.

Although the Department of Mysteries is not well-known among the people, it is extremely important in the eyes of the Ministries of Magic of various countries.

Now that both have been invaded, Azkaban has been turned into a giant hollow in the ocean, which is shocking to think about.

The disappearance of the Minister and the Senior Deputy Minister also made the British Ministry of Magic a laughing stock.

In addition, there is another important name that catches everyone's eye, and that is the mysterious man. The shock was followed by a deep sense of fear.

Who is the mystery man? It is the famous Dark Wizard, or rather the Dark Lord.

Just because he's a madman doesn't mean he has mastered the Curse and the speed at which he kills.

Although he hadn't been to the continent a few times in his heyday, and his style seemed to be very low, it was only because he was stopped by Dumbledore and met the final boss at the beginning of the novice village.

And the news in the newspaper is openly declaring that such a terrifying being who once started the wizarding war has now been resurrected, and it also gives tangible evidence.

All of a sudden, the entire wizarding world was panicked, and many wizards began to quickly count their family's possessions after reading the newspapers, and pack up the gold and silver.

As soon as the wind blows, they are ready to move their families abroad.

This is also normal. Although Voldemort didn't have time to do evil after reshaping his body this time, he only invaded the Ministry of Magic once and robbed Azkaban Prison again, and did not bring any direct harm to the inhabitants of the wizarding world.

But this noseless wizard had left an eternal wound in the hearts of almost everyone in the wizarding world.

Who doesn't have a few relatives who died at Voldemort's hands or his minions?

The fear that Voldemort brought to the wizarding world will probably die out only as these generations grow old.

The high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic were also extremely uncomfortable when they saw Rita writing this news, as if they had eaten flies.

They were already very troubled, after all, so many wizards quietly disappeared in the Department of Mysteries, which showed that there must still be loopholes hidden in the Ministry of Magic.

The option of their own suicide had long been ruled out of the minds of the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic. Who wants to die if a man lives? If you were yourself, you would definitely not choose to die. It is very obvious what the group of invaders will choose to do.

As for the wands scattered around the stone arch of the Hall of Death, they were also considered shoddy tricks, but they were meant to mislead the vision. The group of wizards must still have spare wands on them.

In addition to the headache of the invasion of the Ministry of Magic, the disappearance of Fudge and Umbridge also made the group of officials head two.

You know, it's not a cat or a dog who is missing, it's the Minister of Magic and the Senior Deputy Minister of Magic!

Although Fudge no longer has any rights, he will leave his job "decently" at any time; Umbridge is also no longer welcomed, and is a loyal supporter of Fudge, and is likely to be forced to be "decent" at the same time as Fudge leaves.

But after all, the two of them are the two most powerful and highest-ranking people in the Ministry of Magic, and now that they are missing, they not only slap the Ministry of Magic in the face, but also bring a deep sense of insecurity to all the employees and officials of the Ministry of Magic from top to bottom.

Both the Minister and the Deputy Minister of Magic can disappear quietly, but what about us?

Then there was Azkaban, and when the Aurors sent by the Ministry of Magic arrived in Azkaban, the minds of these professionals stopped working for a long time.

The Aurors were sure they were in the wrong place, and this was Azkaban, a place they could reach with their eyes closed.

But they were also sure that there was no familiar island under their broomsticks, no familiar prison, only a huge hollow. Countless seawater is pouring into it, and it is not known when this sinkhole will be filled.

So...... And what about the big Azkaban island? No matter how much you mysterious person is in danger, no matter how much you rob the prison, there is no need to deliberately make Azkaban Island disappear!

There was a backlog of worries, but Rita wrote them all out again. If you do that, how can we convince the people of the wizarding world that they are protected?

So the wizarding world, which has always been slow to act, actually succeeded in gathering high-level officials at ten o'clock in the morning and held the first meeting of the day to discuss how to deal with it.

However, by noon that day, the Ministry of Magic suddenly realized that it didn't seem to have to do anything.

Because the "Daily Prophet" ingeniously printed an issue of the lunchtime newspaper, which was also called the "Christmas Special Issue".

And this new issue of the newspaper published a series of thematic articles - "The Patron Saint of Silent Eve: The Victorious Harry Potter and the Mysterious Man Who Died Completely", both written by Rita.

After Rita obtained a lot of first-hand information from Harley, she flipped through a number of thick ancient magic histories overnight, and found many narrative records of ancient wizards, and used them to concoct a "great war".

The excitement of this battle is that the sky is falling, the ground is cracking, the wind, thunder and tsunami appear, and the avenue is about to be wiped out.

Even Hallie herself was amazed after reading the article, it turned out that she was dealing with Senior Riddle like this!

Rita described it in such detail that if it weren't for her own experience, she would have believed it.

And in order to add credibility to the matter, Rita took a series of photos after getting the "corpses" of Voldemort and several famous Death Eaters under his command.

Malfoy and several of the Death Eaters were also present for the shoot, and they were known as "meritorious deeds" and "meritorious deeds", and at the last moment, they came to their senses and provided Dumbledore and Harley with a lot of key information.

And they themselves are trying to confirm the truth of all this, after all, they were all Death Eaters.

Suddenly, the entire wizarding world was boiling. The Second Wizarding War ended as soon as it began!

Countless owls flew around the sky, with unusual daylight and night, and even Muggles noticed this strange phenomenon.

Many wizards apparitions appear everywhere and string the doors, exchanging the joy of their hearts.

There are even many wizards who weep with joy and violate the law of secrecy by rushing out into the streets in wizard robes to celebrate.

Once bitten by a snake and feared the well rope for ten years, the inhabitants of the wizarding world no longer wanted to remember the fear brought to them by the Undulating Earth Demon.

The Ministry of Magic also received news from Professor Dumbledore and learned that everything Rita said was true.

Everyone was confused, feeling like they were being kept in the dark. I don't know anything yet, but it's all over.

But what does it matter? Fools have foolish blessings, so it's good that you don't have to worry about yourself.

In short, what kind of meeting is there and what are you worried about? Let's celebrate!

…………

After a brief period of celebration, everything was back on track.

Amelia lived up to expectations and became the new Minister of Magic.

She was already expected by the public, and her approval rating was extremely high, and her election was not only satisfactory to ordinary wizards, but also to the relief of all members of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

This Minister of Magic deserves to be the head of our Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and you are the deputy director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, why?

Amelia didn't celebrate as much as Fudge when she took the stage, after all, she had too much to do.

The Ministry of Magic has determined that the mysterious wizards who invaded the Department of Occult Affairs should be Death Eaters in makeup.

After all, the timing of their invasion could coincide so perfectly with the timing of Voldemort's robbery, and the three-year-old wizard would not believe it if the two sides had nothing to do with each other.

Leaders of other countries have confirmed that these invaders are not dark wizards from their own countries.

However, identification is not enough, and the Ministry of Magic also needs to conduct security checks of locations, including the Department of Mysteries, in an attempt to prevent such incursions from happening again.

In addition, the so many prisoners and Death Eaters who died in Azkaban also need to be addressed.

It is said that people die and debts are eliminated, but this rule of the Muggle world does not apply in the wizarding world.

If you commit a heinous sin, you want to escape by dying? Then who will believe in the glory of justice!

So the reckoning began, and the Ministry of Magic began to check some pure-blood families one by one, and if it was determined that there had been Death Eaters in the family, they would have to compensate the wizarding community based on various information.

The way to confirm the target is also very simple, just see which family dies. The Ministry of Magic had gotten quite a bit of information from Harley to determine the most effective way to do this.

At the end of the Christmas holidays, Amelia went to talk to Harley herself, and invited her to stand up for the Ministry of Magic, as an ambassador for the Ministry of Magic, and help restore the reputation of the Ministry of Magic.

For this kind of good thing that fell from the sky, Harley naturally readily agreed.

Her existing anchor point will at most last until she becomes the king of angels, which is certainly not enough; Only when the existing fans are further impressed with themselves, and then expand new foreign believers, can they more effectively support a sequence zero.

After getting Harley's consent, Amelia and Harley had a detailed conversation about what happened on Christmas Eve, and this method of judging Death Eaters based on the dead was proposed by Harley.

She was sure that what kind of Death Eater would survive under the blows of her multiple natural disasters. At least the general sequence four demigods certainly don't have this qualification.

Amelia acknowledges Hallie's approach, and decides on the spot to follow Hallie's proposal to deal another blow to the grieving family.

This is adding fuel to the fire and falling into the well, what a beautiful thing.

…………

The Christmas break ends in a blink of an eye, and Hogwarts starts as normal.

During this time, Hallie's walk in the school attracted more and more attention.

She just went to have a meal, and there would be a large circle of people around her, and there would be many young wizards in the first and second years running over to ask for autographs.

But this is normal, after all, this is a wizarding star who killed Voldemort with his own hands, comparable to Professor Dumbledore.

Although everyone has long seen that Hallie is extraordinary through a series of championships and papers, who would have thought that when he was still struggling with his homework to be handed in tomorrow, Voldemort would have already been solved!

What is a gap? It's called the gap!

And Rita continues to publish serials in the newspapers, and she has once again found the traffic password, and is ready to expand on the battle between Hallie and Voldemort, and write at least fifteen episodes!

Of course, there are also people who don't like Harry, such as some Slytherin snakes who physically killed their parents.

But they didn't have the courage to trouble Harley, and now their home was censored by the Ministry of Magic!

Although most of the senior members of the Ministry of Magic are purebloods, purebloods have different positions.

Like the Crouch family, which has been reduced to the dust of history, and the Burns family, which is now in full swing, both of them are the purest pure-bloods, and belong to the bloodlines that can be valued immediately after joining the Death Eaters.

But the two families were also the most staunch, opposing the Mystic Ones, Amelia Bones' brother was once a member of the Order of the Phoenix and died in the war with the Death Eaters.

Now that these families are in power, do you want them to show mercy to those Death Eaters? It's impossible to think about!
