448. Spiritualist Elixir
At the Ministry of Magic, figures were constantly shuttling through the wide square, and officials were busy everywhere.
Almost everyone's face was tense, and there was not a hint of a smile in sight, and tension permeated every corner.
Wizards who have paid even a little attention to the recent situation know that with the current situation in the European magical world, war could break out at any time.
Somewhere in the vast playground inside the Ministry of Magic, Fudge was standing in front of the stage giving a speech.
To his left stood Mr. Scrimgeour and Mr. Weasley, and to his right stood Professor Lupin and Mr. Weasley. Sirius, behind him stood two wizards who were somewhat unfamiliar to the other Aurors, Alice Longbottom and Frank Longbottom.
Below, there were Aurors and, of course, beaters.
"I'm sure you've all heard more or less rumors that 'that man' is back, right?"
"Even in the previous operations against the Death Eaters, you had a vague suspicion."
"I'm going to tell you. These are all facts, and the dark wizard who fought with me in the previous operation was 'that person', and he was the one who caused the Ministry of Magic, and I regret to tell you that the current turmoil in Bulgaria and Romania is his handwork."
As soon as Fudge opened his mouth, he directly let the audience explode.
This is the first time that Fudge has acknowledged the news of Voldemort's return in public, in fact, this is okay, although the news has been publicly released in the Daily Prophet and the Daily of Poison and Antidote, no one is a fool, and Scrimgeour has called the other party the Dark Lord before.
What really shocked everyone was the news of the uplifting of the Ministries of Magic of the two countries.
That's the Ministry of Magic of two countries, even if the overall strength is not as good as the Ministry of Magic of England, but it will definitely not be weak.
The Aurors had different expressions, some surprised, some calm, some suddenly realized, some thoughtful, but there was no fear.
In fact, the Aurors are not as unbearable as they appear in the original books. Most of the time, they can only be used as a foil, either being knocked out or on the way to being knocked out, and they are not even as bright as the Death Eaters.
They are the strongest force in the Ministry of Magic, at the forefront of the fight against dark wizards, and each of them knew the dangers they would face when they became Aurors, and they were ready to sacrifice their lives at any time, but they joined the team without hesitation.
In fact, in many cases, it was not the Aurors who lost the battle, but the stupid decisions of the commanders that led to the loss of the occupation.
It can be said that the Aurors never lack courage, what they lack is a leader who can 'be reliable, carryable, catchy, and stable' at critical moments.
There will be a nest of bears, and one will be incompetent and exhaust the three armies, this is the case.
"Be quiet."
Fudge cleared his throat, and the audience quickly fell silent.
At this time, Fudge and Fudge were not as prestigious among the Aurors.
His abilities are obvious to all, and more than one person saw that if the bald wizard who was in the woods before was 'that person', then how strong was Fudge who fought head-to-head with him?
"Facts have also proved that 'that person' is not invincible although powerful."
"Don't forget, our Professor Dumbledore drove him away, and he didn't even dare to stay in England."
If 'that man' is truly invincible, then why run away when facing Dumbledore?
"The wizarding world needs stability, England needs stability, we need to stabilize the hard-won peace now, not a chaotic society that preaches 'he's back' everywhere, and can only live in the shadow of 'him'"
"The chaos of disorder will give him a chance, and it will only make the ranks of the Death Eaters stronger."
"People are so afraid of that person that they will even mess with themselves when they hear his name, all because of the inaction of the Ministry of Magic over the years. Now that I'm here, I don't absolutely not allow such a thing to happen again. ”
Fudge said solemnly, as if what the Ministry of Magic had done all these years had nothing to do with him.
Although it really has nothing to do with it
"So. I want to tell everybody in this room. Please remember that we will never admit that 'that person' has returned, and that 'that person' has been dead for more than ten years, and there are no ashes left. It's definitely not 'that man' who rules the Death Eaters now, but a newly rising dark wizard."
"We can call him that."
"Tom the Dark Wizard."
As a result, Voldemort has an additional identity in the mouths of the Aurors of England, a new generation of Death Eater commanders - the dark wizard Tom.
"Also, I would like to announce one thing from now on, in order to prevent a recurrence of what happened more than ten years ago when the Ministry of Magic was collectively controlled by the Imperius Curse, all of you, including the Strikers, are under my direct control."
"Anyone who wants to go beyond this relationship commands you, don't doubt it. That must have been under the Imperius curse. ”
Fudge continued, "I've had the best alchemists in the world find us to make us instruments that can measure whether or not we have fallen under the Imperius Curse. ”
He's telling a little lie here, and he doesn't have any equipment at all, but potions.
"I'll put a spell on you in a while, so that I can find out my identity and prevent you from being deceived by the Polyjuice Decoction and other methods."
"It's also easy for me to determine your identity."
As Dudley said to Dumbledore, it would be outrageous to succeed twice in the same method, and it would normally be necessary to start looking for a solution after the first encounter.
The Death Eaters are consolidating their powers, and the Aurors need to integrate their powers.
He needed to get these Aurors to do some targeted training, so he directly took over the direct jurisdiction of the Aurors.
Many people in the Ministry of Magic were waiting to see Fudge's excitement, as it was the exclusive prerogative of the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, but Amelia Bones, the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, expressed her approval of Fudge's approach.
On the last day of the holiday, Dudley pushed open the door of the Potions classroom with a little tiredness, and it wasn't long before the two Potions professors, one oil and one fat, with big black circles under their eyes, followed out one after the other, leaning against the wall.
Professor Snape (back to Hogwarts) and Professor Slughorn looked very weak, as if a gust of wind could knock them down.
However, when they saw the dark blue potion in Dudley's hand, both professors puffed out their chests at the same time.
The birth of this potion marks the end of the Imperius Curse, one of the three unforgivables, which is no longer immeasurable and can only be lifted by personal will.
The trio named it - Spiritualist Elixir.
The implication is to bring back the soul that has been robbed of sanity.
