Chapter 296
Crack!
The white beam of light smashed the blue barrier like a broken bamboo, and in the blue light fragments, it whizzed past Voldemort's pale cheek.
Cold sweat had already appeared on Voldemort's bald head. He was almost, just almost shot in the head.
Touching his cheek, Voldemort could clearly feel that a piece of flesh was missing, as if it was directly melted away. Yes, there was not even a trace of pain.
The Mind Flayer stared at the sky with full concentration, and did not even dare to look back to see the impact of the spell he had just obtained on the Death Eaters behind him.
This spell was really too weird. While the damage was explosive, the speed was also very fast. Except for the fact that it could not turn, there was no disadvantage.
Ethan was quite satisfied with the first actual combat effect of the Ultimate Flash spell.
This spell has reached the level of level nine, but Ethan has never used it once outside.
It was only today that I learned that this spell can also have a certain restraining effect on the Killing Curse.
Otherwise, when he was fighting with Voldemort just now, it would not be so easy to overwhelm him.
You know, Voldemort's attainments in the Killing Curse are quite high. Even if Ethan also uses the Killing Curse, even if he can rely on the advantage of magic power to suppress it, he will definitely not have such an advantage.
Ethan, who was originally preparing to fight with the Killing Curse, also found a faster way.
Thinking of this, Ethan turned over and got off the horse and floated to the ground.
I am not a so-called knight, and I am still a little uncomfortable sitting on the rune horse to fight.
At the moment when Ethan floated down, Voldemort stared at Ethan intently, but suddenly a green light appeared behind him.
The sound of eating big melons came one after another.
Voldemort's hair stood up, and he pointed his wand at the ground without thinking.
A stone pillar stood up behind him.
Bang!
Bang!
A series of sounds sounded behind him, just like setting off firecrackers, but the flames were green.
But before Voldemort could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a bright white light shining again on the Mind Flayer's hand.
One after another, Voldemort knew that he couldn't be so passive anymore.
The whole person turned into a black smoke and was ready to jump into the sky.
But before he could move, the white light column had already arrived and hit the dark fog.
Even if it was hit head-on, the dark fog did not stop at all. After jumping into the sky, it immediately stopped on the roof of a prison.
After revealing his original form, Voldemort had a bowl-sized hole on his waist, which could be seen from one side to the other.
The strange thing was that there was no trace of blood flowing out of the hole.
After taking a look at his own Death Eaters, Voldemort took out a bottle of potion while keeping an eye on the Mind Flayer on the other side and quickly poured it into his body.Entrance.
Although he was at a disadvantage, he should retreat according to the current situation.
But if he left like this, wouldn't his status among the dark wizards be reduced by one again?
After losing to the Balrog, if he lost to the Mind Flayer again, would anyone who wanted to stand out have to step on his head?
And during this period, he was not without progress.
It is extremely difficult to reach the current level of strength without any improvement. This requires time to settle, as well as the assistance of luck, and finally to usher in a little breakthrough.
But there are shortcuts.
Human body transformation is one of them.
The human body is too fragile. Abandoning this identity, Voldemort firmly believes that he will become extremely powerful.
More powerful magic, strong physique, and quick recovery ability, all these combined, abruptly raised his strength.
The reason why I lost last time was that the Balrog's physique was stronger than mine. The punch he hit on me was not like a human body, and his magic power was stronger than mine. Maybe he had also modified his body.
So, after healing the last injury, Voldemort hid in the safe house and transformed himself again.
This is also where Voldemort's confidence lies at the moment, but it is not so perfect now, and he needs the cooperation of potions in the middle.
The Aurors are ready to open champagne at this moment.
It would be better if they killed one of them.
But they dare not act rashly. Now it is a fight among the dark wizards, why should they join in the fun.
Even the Death Eaters did not touch them.
After all, in the scene just now, everyone saw who was controlled by the Mind Flayer.
It is worthy of being the Mind Flayer. In just a moment, he controlled all the Death Eaters. If he was dealing with himself, it would not take much effort.
Even though many of them had been specially trained in the Imperius Curse to increase their resistance to the Imperius Curse in order to fight against dark wizards, no one wanted to try to fight for the control of the Mind Flayer at this moment.
Amelia Bones was relieved.
The Mind Flayer did not fool her that day. He is really stronger than Voldemort.
The subsequent plan is naturally not a problem.
It seems that the day when he ascends the throne of the Minister of Magic is just around the corner.
It's just that Ethan looked at Voldemort and felt a little incredible.
It's okay that the wound that was just blasted didn't bleed, but now it has grown granulation at a speed visible to the naked eye, directly filling the hole. What's going on?
Last time, Voldemort didn't have this ability!
Although Voldemort wanted to show off and explain, he didn't have the time.
The Death Eaters who were controlled by him were heading towards him.Come on.
Voldemort, who didn't want to kill his own people, could only fight quickly.
After feeling that his wounds had almost recovered, he opened his mouth wide and spit out a tongue that was much longer than that of an ordinary person, and a large ball of fire appeared in his hand.
The moment he threw the flame on the top of the prison, the flame spread instantly, turning the entire prison into ashes and covering Voldemort's figure.
This is the solution he has come up with now.
Since that weird ancient magic is difficult to confront head-on and cannot be defended, there is only one way to find another way.
For example, use flames to block the opponent's sight so that he doesn't know where the beam of light is shooting.
As long as he can't aim, he can't hit himself.
At the same time, Voldemort also felt his current shortcomings.
There is a lack of magic that can be used. All the spells used are common ones. Even the Killing Curse that I like the most and put the most effort into is the same. It is really useless in high-end games.
So I really suffered a big loss in the battles during this period.
When I go back, I have to find some ancient magic.
In this regard, I also studied some of the remaining materials when I was immersed in traveling in Europe.
Ancient magic is more powerful and simple to cast, but it consumes more magic power, which is a bit difficult to learn, and requires some ancient rune knowledge.
Unfortunately, during that time, my experience was not focused on this. I was full of thoughts on how to kill Dumbledore, which resulted in no gains in this aspect.
Now this incomprehensible light column magic completely meets the characteristics of all the ancient magic that I said I knew.
Ethan naturally didn't know Voldemort's inner drama, and a touch of white light appeared on the wand.
Although Ethan couldn't see where Voldemort was, he could sense it!
Even with such a large source of magic fluctuations, he could hit it with his eyes closed.
Looking at the white beam of light that pierced through the flames, the white light particles that dissipated in the air, and a small part of his shoulder that disappeared.
If he hadn't sensed the danger and twisted his body, his head and body would probably have been separated.
At that time, even if he had a powerful healing ability, it would be useless.
Before Voldemort could analyze the reason why he was hit, the second beam of light shot over.
At the same time, the Death Eaters also felt it, and without saying a word, they aimed at Voldemort and released the Killing Curse.
Against the orange-red flames, these green lights looked particularly charming.
Faced with this saturation artillery attack and the incoming beam of light, Voldemort was confused for a moment, and accidentally hit by the white beam of light again.
It is also very simple to break the situation. Expand the fire and burn all the controlled Death Eaters, so that no flies will come back to disturb him.
But Voldemort couldn't do that. Even if he was crazy, he knew that this was his last batch of team members. If he killed them all, what could he do with the few big cats and small cats left?
Not to mention, there was a waste like Mandel among them.
Even if they couldn't be rescued this time, as long as they were alive, there would be a chance later.
Voldemort changed his position again. Before he could take a breath, his whole body shrank down again and waved the wand in his hand fiercely.
After these few evasive experiences, Voldemort also believed in his intuition more and more. He didn't need to think and followed his feelings. If he thought for one more second, he would be hit by a cannon.
Ethan also erected a blue barrier. Crossbows with only a little dark light fell from the sky. The density was probably to shoot him into a sieve.
It is estimated that this also represents Voldemort's heart at the moment.
Seeing that the attack did not work, Voldemort was not discouraged. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
The Fiery Flame in the distance suddenly turned into dozens of giant flaming pythons that roamed around and scattered around, setting the surroundings on fire. Under Voldemort's control, they rushed towards the Mind Flayer in the middle.
But before he got close, he saw a circle of dark flames burning under the Mind Flayer's feet.
The dark flames surged around like a wave, and in the blink of an eye, the orange-red fire pythons were swept into it, and then dark fire dragons flew out of it.
The Aurors kept retreating at this moment. This was really a fight between gods and mortals.
What can they do about the confrontation between Fiery Flame and Fire Escape Bodyguard?
If they were touched by anything, they would be reduced to ashes. This excitement is not good.
"Use the End of All Curses together to protect yourself."
Looking at the fire that was about to spread, Amelia Bones could only resort to this last resort.
As for those Death Eaters who lost their combat ability and were captured alive in the previous battle, let them leave it to fate!
After receiving the order, the Aurors took action immediately. They were compatriots who cooperated tacitly. They did not panic for a while. They found the right position and directly used their End of All Curses, lowering their wands above the ground.
As the red light connected, it gradually formed a huge circle of red light, protecting everyone inside.
It was not necessary to extinguish the flames outside, as long as the flames outside could not get in.
Ethan also controlled the Death Eaters to shrink in the corner to avoid the spreading flames.
The following plan still needed these Death Eaters, but they could not all die. []
I thought Voldemort would be defeated soon, but I didn't expect him to last so long.
I didn't use the Ultimate Flash right away, because it was still a little short of the maximum level.
Each spell will undergo a qualitative change after reaching the maximum level.
Ethan, who was fully controlling the flame, directly used the magic powerInstill it.
The pitch-black flames, which had already taken advantage, suddenly surged in intensity, and rushed over like a roaring wave, assimilating and swallowing the suppressed orange flames. In the process, dozens of pitch-black flame dragons rushed out of the sea of fire.
Although Voldemort didn't have to dodge the white light beams like a fly, it made Voldemort feel a lot easier.
But seeing this scene, Voldemort still wanted to curse.
How much do these people like to set fires?
Voldemort thought that he had played the Fiery Curse very well, but now he always felt that the spell he used was not at the same level as them. What's going on?
Just as Voldemort had just reproduced the compound spell that he had used to fight the Balrog in Malfoy Manor, a huge snake head emerged from the dark clouds, and it had not yet been fully formed.
I saw a white beam of light rushing into the dark clouds, and the clouds dispersed, the sky cleared, and even the Dementors disappeared.
Ethan just tried it out, but he didn't expect that the Ultimate Flash would have this effect, directly dispelling the curse.
It seems that the next step is to practice the Ultimate Flash to the fullest, which is much stronger than he imagined for restraining dark magic.
Accompanied by the morning sun, shining through the broken clouds.
Voldemort's heart was completely dead.
Today, it was another day of being beaten.
Now Voldemort no longer thought about his status or who he would lose to later, but how to retreat.
Just then, facing the sun, a ball of fire suddenly appeared in the air.
In the eyes of everyone, the fireball split into two the moment it appeared, turning into a white-bearded old man wearing purple pajamas and a sheep-horned hat and a big turkey with an unremarkable appearance.
Immediately, Voldemort realized that this was an opportunity, and turned into a black smoke and fled to the sea.
Although he didn't know how to go back, as long as he escaped from here, he was afraid of getting lost.
Ethan turned a blind eye to the fleeing Voldemort.
With a fierce wave of the wand in his hand, the sea of fire that almost occupied the entire Azkaban surged directly towards Dumbledore who had just arrived, and the flaming black dragon hovering in the sky also swooped down.
Then he soared directly into the air and came to the divine rune horse to prepare for retreat.
Dumbledore, who was still in his pajamas, looked at the scene in a daze. Fortunately, the big turkey was powerful enough to grab Dumbledore's shoulder and disappeared. When he reappeared, he came to the red light circle of the Aurors.
Seeing that Dumbledore was safe, Moody was relieved.
It was he who sent a message to Dumbledore just now, asking him to come over.
To be more precise, he sent the message when the Mind Flayer had just arrived and had not yet fought with Voldemort.
It was just that Dumbledore had not gotten up at that time.
When he got up, he sawThe news came without even changing clothes, and Phoenix brought it to him.
Just after landing, he almost became a box. .
Chapter 297
Ethan and Voldemort left one after another, but Dumbledore couldn't just leave.
"Alastor, what's going on?"
Dumbledore, wearing pajamas, asked Alastor Moody while using the Aurors to quell the flames that almost covered the entire Azkaban.
He was still confused now.
Before that, Dumbledore, who had just woken up, was about to go to the toilet first, but he saw the wizard mailbox on the bedside table flashing.
I thought it was the old friend who contacted me again, and I thought it wouldn't take much time to open it.
As a result, I saw the message from Moody.
I and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic met Voldemort and the Mind Flayer in Azkaban.
This message has been sent for a while, and there is no time to go to the toilet. I just called the Phoenix sleeping on the bird stand and arrived here through the Apparition of Magical Beasts.
Fortunately, Dumbledore had brought Phoenix to Azkaban before. That time, he wanted to find a light-sentenced prisoner to teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts, so Phoenix remembered this place. Otherwise, it would take some effort to come here.
As a result, as soon as he appeared, he faced a saturation magic attack.
And, I don't know why, the other party ran away as soon as he came.
Faced with Dumbledore's questioning, Moody did not hide anything and told Dumbledore everything he knew.
Including the fact that these Aurors had ambushed here in advance.
It's just that they didn't know before that they needed to ambush Voldemort. They were notified two days ago that there were wizards who wanted to come to Azkaban to rescue the imprisoned Death Eaters.
At that time, Moody agreed without saying a word. Many of these "803" Death Eaters imprisoned in Azkaban were captured by him personally, so naturally he didn't want them to be rescued.
It was just that he didn't expect to find out that it was Voldemort himself, and even the Mind Flayer had come.
Feeling that things were out of control, Moody immediately sent a message to Dumbledore.
If he could come to the rescue, he would come, but if he couldn't, he would have to collect the bodies of himself and others.
As a result, the development of the matter was so dramatic. Bellatrix Lestrange, that crazy woman, provoked the Mind Flayer, which led to a fight between the two.
If not for this, even if only Voldemort attacked himself and others, the scene would not be so good now.
After listening to Moody's story, Dumbledore looked at Amelia Bones in surprise.
He didn't believe there were so many coincidences.
Just received the news and came to ambush, and met Voldemort and the Mind Flayer.
And the two of them fought, so the Aurors suffered no losses. They didn't even fight Voldemort before, but ambushed him. It must have been premeditated.
Now she has repelled Voldemort and arrested the Death Eater who was about to escape successfully. She has gained all the benefits.Coincidence, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
Thinking of the unpleasant chat between him and Amelia Bones last time, Dumbledore almost figured out what happened this time.
I didn't expect that the Bones family also took sides, and it was the side of the dark wizards.
But Dumbledore didn't say it. This kind of thing is quite common among pure-blood nobles. For the sake of interests, you have to make a choice.
There are even some who bet on both sides.
It's just that my focus is wrong.
How come a dark wizard can beat Voldemort.
From Moody's mouth, I know that Voldemort has always been the one who was suppressed since the beginning of the fight.
Looking at the dark flames that almost covered the entire island, Dumbledore also had some guesses about the strength of the Mind Flayer.
It's not inferior to the old rival in his youth. At least this fire escape self-defense is like this.
Is this what he taught?
I have never heard of the Mind Flayer before. It seems that he appeared out of thin air. His identity is quite suspicious.
If he was born as a saint, he went to Nurmengard to receive his teachings. It is not impossible for him to come to Britain for greater benefits.
It seems that I have to take time to go there after I go back.
Dumbledore calculated while calming the fire with the Aurors. After doing all this, he was taken away by the Phoenix without saying a word.
You know, Dumbledore is still holding it in. He was ready to release the water after getting up, but he didn't go because he was in a hurry.
At such a young age, it is almost leaking now. Naturally, it is impossible for him to help them finish it.
"Amelia, what should we do now?"
Dumbledore's departure did not affect the Aurors. After putting out the fire, they directly arrested the remaining Death Eaters.
These Death Eaters have no will to resist now. They have not lost their memories when they were controlled by the Imperius Curse. Whether Voldemort was suppressed and beaten throughout the whole process or they were controlled to attack their master, it was a blow to them.
Besides, there are only four and two people left now.
It can be said that the Death Eaters are still good. There are still some other prisoners in Azkaban. They have not been released. When the fire spread, they had nowhere to run. They were directly wiped out. Now they can't even dig out their ashes.
For those people, the Aurors can only choose to ignore them.
But now there is a problem in front of them. This fire directly destroyed Azkaban, and there is no place to imprison these Death Eaters.
As a guard, the Dementors fled when they encountered danger just now, and now no one knows where they went.
"Take it back to the Ministry of Magic!"
After taking a quick look at the situation in Azkaban, Amelia Bones made a decision.
There is no other way. There is no building here now, so it is naturally impossible to use it as a prison.
Want to rebuildEven with the help of magic, it would take some time, not to mention finding those Dementors who had gone to who knows where.
"Rufus, go and notify the ship to come over."
The ship that their group of people came on was staying in another direction and was hidden on the bottom of the sea. They only needed to send a message to make him come over.
As for the ship that Voldemort came on, it was not long after Voldemort landed on the island that someone went to remove his Imperius Curse and then drove the ship back.
There are only a few such ships in the entire Ministry of Magic. They are considered important assets, so they will not give up if they can.
After Ethan rode the Rune Horse away, he also came all the way to Knockturn Alley, without hiding any whereabouts on the road.
The fact that Beauxbatons could rely on the Rune Horse to pull a carriage from France to Britain shows their speed. It didn't take Ethan much time to get from Azkaban to Knockturn Alley.
After the Witch Heart Association dismounted, the divine horse was directly handed over to Dennis, who had asked him to pull it from Thres two days ago.
As for the captured Dementors, Ethan stuffed them directly into the Nibelungen.
After doing all this, Ethan took off the Voldemort cloak and returned to his home in Godric's Hollow with an apparition.
It's just right to go for breakfast now.
...
The matter of Azkaban fermented after a day.
The next day, before dawn, a large number of owls flew out of countless newspapers and magazines, all of which flew to various parts of Britain with the latest newspapers.
Most of the wizards who got the newspapers were frightened by the content above.
It turned out that the gossip was true. Voldemort really resurrected after fourteen years, and attacked Azkaban to rescue the captured Death Eaters.
Fortunately, the Aurors caught the news in advance and stopped Voldemort's conspiracy. All the Death Eaters did not escape, either died or were re-arrested, only Voldemort escaped by luck.
Seeing this, they were relieved.
Except for some wizards who are still older, most wizards in this transition have experienced the era of Voldemort.
Now they don't want this peaceful life to be broken again. At that time, they really worried about not seeing the sun tomorrow every day. It's better now.
But Voldemort was really defeated by the Ministry of Magic?
When did the Ministry of Magic become so awesome? Why didn't I know it?
Unless Dumbledore took action. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Continue reading, it answered the previous doubts, but the expression was a little tense.
It turned out that the Aurors still picked up a loophole.
It was a fight between Voldemort and the Mind Flayer. In the end, Voldemort was killed and Dumbledore interfered, causing the Mind Flayer to escape as well. That's why the Aurors achieved this incredible feat.
There are even several photos below. Although they are a bit blurry, they still look great.The atmosphere was in place.
These were all prepared by Amelia Bones in advance. After all, if you want to report it, you still need to provide some evidence.
It's just that the environment is really bad. It's either too dim or too bright, and there's a blazing fire. You don't dare to use flash, so the effect of the photo is naturally not very ideal.
After reading this report, the wizards also fell into deep thought.
They found a problem. Some time ago, Dumbledore announced the return of Voldemort in Hogwarts and told this news to every little wizard studying in Hogwarts.
But the next day, Cornelius Fudge, the head of the Department of Body Demons, personally stood up to refute the rumor.
Now the evidence is in front of us, and it's clear who is lying.
Although the photos of Voldemort and the Mind Flayer are a bit blurry, the scene of Dumbledore and the Aurors putting out the fire is still very clear, as well as Azkaban, which has almost become a scorched earth, and the remaining Death Eaters who are covered in dust.
This can prove the intensity of the exchange between the Mind Flayer and Voldemort.
Finally, the Mind Flayer rode the Rune Horse back to Knockturn Alley, which was also seen by many people. This cannot be false. After all, who dares to disguise as the Mind Flayer in that position?
But why did Fudge conceal this news?
For this result, many wizards have come up with various conspiracy theories. []
So a large number of owls gathered near the Ministry of Magic, but because the window for receiving letters was closed, these owls could only hover near the Ministry of Magic.
Now inside the Ministry of Magic, in the office of the Minister, Fudge and the officials who had surrendered to him were all gathered together. Now, their hair was like a chicken coop and their faces were greasy.
Especially, Fudge's face looked uglier than eating shit. His hat, which he always wore, was thrown to the ground, and there were footprints all over it.
The newspaper had already come out, so Fudge naturally knew the news a long time ago.
When Amelia Bones escorted the Death Eaters back yesterday, she didn't think of hiding the news, and even held a simple press conference for the reporters, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big commotion.
But Fudge couldn't stop Amelia Bones's openly turning against him.
Although he had great power, the other party had great power too, and was still holding his fist, and was now the one who was right.
So Fudge wanted to use his power to force Amelia Bones to stop her job and settle the matter, which was impossible at all.
"Have you figured out a solution? What should we do next?"
This is not the first time Fudge has asked this question.
After yesterday's incident, and the failure to stop it, Fudge immediately gathered all the people under his command.
If he can't get through this wave, he can step down early.
These people are labeled with their own factions, or they have today'sI have to rely on myself. If I lose power, they will also be liquidated, and they are like grasshoppers on the same rope.
Only they will do their best to help me at this juncture.
The dozen wizards below looked at each other and could see the despair in each other's eyes.
It's not that they didn't give Fudge suggestions, but they were all rejected.
Now I can't think of any solution at all.
Thinking that power and money will be far away from me, everyone is so heartbroken that they can't breathe.
"I asked you to speak, but each of you is mute. The means of making money are more clever than the other. Is it so difficult to come up with an idea now?"
Looking at the silent subordinates, Fudge exploded.
I don't have much time left. It won't last long if I lock myself up like an ostrich.
For the events of the past two days, if I can't stand up and give everyone a satisfactory explanation, those wizards will dare to attack the Ministry of Magic.
Therefore, we must save ourselves in the shortest possible time. If we continue to drag it out, it will only lead to chronic death.
"I have an idea!"
In the corner, a thin middle-aged wizard with gold-rimmed glasses said in a low voice with some lack of confidence.
But in this office where you can hear the sound of breathing, even the smallest sound can be heard by everyone.
So everyone around stepped aside and exposed it.
"Tony, just say what you think."
Fudge still had a good impression of him. Although his position was not too high, he was just an office director, but every time he made money, he would give a part of it to himself, and he would not bother himself with some troubles on weekdays. This is worth learning from others.
"That is, we can divert the conflict and throw the problem on Dumbledore."
"Oh, tell me more carefully."
Fudge suddenly opened his eyes wide and became interested.
Fudge had wanted to take revenge on Dumbledore for a long time, and even wanted to send him to the Wizengamot for trial.
But because too many things happened during this period, he had not yet started to implement the plan to take revenge on Dumbledore.
If he could put the blame on Dumbledore.
That would definitely kill two birds with one stone, and he would wake up laughing in his dreams. .
Chapter 298
"The key to this is Barty Crouch Jr!"
"Minister, Barty Crouch Jr. was at the Triwizard Tournament that day, and he removed the effect of the Polyjuice Potion in front of everyone!"
Tony came to Fudge and asked. In his opinion, this point was very important.
It's just that he didn't arrive at the scene that day, and Fudge couldn't tell them about these situations.
The news they knew were all hearsay versions.
"That's right, Barty Crouch Jr. removed the Polyjuice Potion in front of everyone, and took the sword of Gryffindor from Dumbledore. At that time, he was a little impatient and quite excited, as if he had accomplished something big."
Fudge recalled the situation on the scene that day and said to everyone.
"That's good. After Alastor Moody was rescued, he was questioned by the Ministry of Magic. He said he was captured before the start of school at Hogwarts."
"That means Barty Crouch Jr. has been lurking in Hogwarts for a year disguised as Alastor Moody and has not been discovered."
"Why would Barty Crouch Jr. lurk in Hogwarts for no reason? He must have his own plan."
"Combined with Voldemort's resurrection, it must be related to Barty Crouch Jr.'s lurking in Hogwarts."
"Although I don't know how Voldemort was resurrected, others don't know either. We can do something about this process."
"We don't know whether Dumbledore has anything to do with Voldemort's resurrection, but we can also make them related."
"Who made Dumbledore known as the strongest white wizard, but he didn't even know that there was a Death Eater hidden in his own school to be a professor!"
Fudge, who listened to Tony's words throughout the process, also understood the room for maneuver here.
Although this minister is not qualified and his strength is not very good, he is still a politician, and his IQ is naturally not bad.
And after Tony's guidance, there are some details that I didn't pay attention to at the beginning, and now I remember them.
On the scene that day, Barty Crouch Jr. said that he came to Hogwarts just for Harry Potter.
Harry Potter was selected by the Goblet of Fire to become one of the warriors representing Hogwarts, which is his masterpiece.
And during the Triwizard Tournament, Barty Crouch Jr. also provided a lot of help. He said that Harry Potter and the Death Eater Voldemort was resurrected.
When saying this, Barty Crouch Jr. was quite proud.
As if he wanted to let everyone know how much he contributed to Voldemort's resurrection, and that he was the most competent Death Eater.
At that time, Voldemort had already been resurrected, and Barty Crouch Jr. didn't need to lie.
Combining these, Harry Potter is an important part of Voldemort's resurrection, and the biggest contributor is the Dark Lord who lurked in Hogwarts for a year.Barty Crouch, the Defense of Magic professor.
It was just that I was shocked by the news of Voldemort's resurrection, and Dumbledore's refusal to cooperate and sing a different tune, which led me to not pay attention to these details.
Now it seems that the relationship between Voldemort's resurrection and Hogwarts is really not small.
It can even be said that I, the Minister of Magic, was really caught in the crossfire.
After all, Alastor Moody is no longer a member of the Ministry of Magic. He is a retired Auror. He did not go through the Ministry of Magic to teach at Hogwarts, but was invited by Dumbledore himself.
In this process, the Ministry of Magic did not participate at all.
It was just that Barty Crouch came to the referee's seat to say these words, and did not cast a loud spell on himself, so that not many people heard these in the noisy environment.
But this is not a big problem, and it may be more conducive to my performance.
After all, when Barty Crouch Jr. returned to his original form, everyone saw it. What happened next was up to him.
But there was still a problem that still could not be solved.
"What should I do about the fact that I refuted Dumbledore some time ago and declared that Voldemort had not been resurrected?"
Putting the blame on Dumbledore for Voldemort's resurrection could indeed help him attract hatred to a certain extent.
But his most core problem was still not solved, and it was still difficult to overcome the difficulties in front of him.
Thinking of this, Fudge hated Dumbledore a little more. If it weren't for him, he would not have gotten to this point at all.
Amelia Bones would not have seized such an opportunity.
"You can still blame Dumbledore. After all, in our plan, we have completely torn our relationship with Dumbledore, so there is no need to care so much."
"Let's say Dumbledore helped Voldemort to revive, and used this to cause panic in the wizarding world, and wanted to take this opportunity to win over more wizards to sit on the seat of supreme power."
"Minister, you discovered this, and in order to stop Dumbledore, you had to announce that Voldemort had not been resurrected, and secretly organized to fight against Voldemort."
"Although some people still don't believe it, and there are still some problems with you, it is also an explanation, and the focus of this, Dumbledore, will definitely attract more attention."
Tony became more and more confident as he spoke.
Among so many people, only he gave useful suggestions. Once Fudge can overcome the current difficulties, it will be difficult for him not to get a promotion and a raise in the future.
Perhaps after Fudge retires, I can take over Fudge's team and run for the position of Minister of Magic based on my achievements.
Dreams are important!
Fudge is also thinking about the feasibility.
It is possible to overcome the current difficulties by shifting the focus, passing the buck, and then apologizing.
And the reason why I have been doing this for the past few years is thatIsn't it because I'm afraid that Dumbledore will seize power from me when I suppress him secretly?
But even though I suppressed Dumbledore, I didn't break up with him. Now they've completely turned against each other.
It will be hard to survive Dumbledore's counterattack!
After all, he's not a wooden stake that will let me throw the blame on him.
It's impossible to kill Dumbledore with one blow based on this.
It's because I can't produce decisive evidence, unless Barty Crouch Jr. makes public his alliance with Dumbledore, but I know it's impossible.
At that time, there will be Amelia Bones and Dumbledore.
One is the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the chief wizard of the Wizengamot.
One controls the Auror Corps of the Ministry of Magic, and the other has a network of connections and countless supporters. Even if I throw dirty water on him, there will definitely be many die-hard fans.
Faced with such a combination, I still feel powerless.
At first, I just wanted to get through the difficulties in front of me, but now I have to face the follow-up problems. I can only say that people will never be satisfied.
Facing Fudge who was in deep thought, no one dared to disturb him.
Even Tony retreated back to the crowd.
Not long after, Fudge thought of a solution, or to be precise, he only thought of half of it.
If Amelia Bones and Dumbledore join forces, I will definitely not be their opponent.
But as long as I can disable one of them, it will not be a problem.
Amelia Bones is the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. She is also a top pure-blooded aristocrat. It is not easy to take action, and I have no handle on her.
But Dumbledore is different. This time, the dirty water can also be used.
For example, first remove his identity as the chief wizard of the Wizengamot. As long as he loses this identity, it will be much easier to throw him to the trial later.
As for the position of the headmaster of Hogwarts, there is really no way to do it.
Although the power of the Minister of Magic is greater than that of the headmaster of Hogwarts, there is no clear superior-subordinate relationship between the two. It is impossible to directly remove Dumbledore from the position of headmaster.
But as long as Dumbledore still has the base of Hogwarts, he will not fall.
It can be said that anyone with a good vision in the wizarding world can realize how much influence the headmaster of a magic school will have.
We must find a way to remove Dumbledore from the position of headmaster of Hogwarts.
When the time comes, I will have a certain chance of winning against Amelia Bones.
Just to remove Dumbledore from the position of headmaster, I must find some problems within Hogwarts to prove that he is not qualified as the headmaster.
As for the Voldemort incident this time, as long as Dumbledore does not admit it, it is still a little short.
The annual rotation of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts is a good opportunity. I can arrangeInsert one person in.
"Who of you is willing to go to Hogwarts to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
Thinking of this, Fudge immediately looked at the subordinates in front of him.
Such an important matter can only be handed over to them.
But unlike Fudge's assumption, the officials of the Ministry of Magic were all confused when they heard this.
Just now they were still talking about how to survive the crisis at hand and how to put the blame on Dumbledore and let him take the blame this time.
Now they are jumping to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts?
Besides, I am doing well as an official, and I am afraid that I have a problem with my brain when I want to be a professor!
Everyone present here graduated from Hogwarts, and many of them had the experience of teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts for seven years when they were still in school.
Who doesn't know that it is a position cursed by Voldemort.
Anyone who takes up the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor will not have a good ending.
In serious cases, some died before the end of the school year due to various accidents.
For those in a better situation, they can hold on until the end of the school year, but various situations will occur in a few years, and being disabled is considered a great luck.
Although in recent years, there are two professors of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Lockhart and Lupin, and although there were some minor problems in the teaching process, they are safe now, but who can say for sure in the next few years, who can guarantee that they will not have problems?
Besides, if they don't have problems, can I still have such luck?
In this case, only those with a mental problem will become Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Even if I am fired and go home, it is better than going to Hogwarts to die.
Besides, we were just discussing about shifting the blame to Dumbledore. If you offend him and go to his territory to be a professor, will he let you off easily?
With Dumbledore's targeting and Voldemort's curse, how many lives can you survive this pit!
Seeing the silent subordinates below, Fudge also found the problem.
Immediately told him what he had just thought.
After knowing the reason, everyone looked at Tony.
Since this problem was born under Fudge's suggestion, it is natural for you to solve it.
Anyway, it is impossible for them to be the professor of the so-called Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Being looked at by everyone like this, Tony was also under great pressure.
What others can figure out, he can naturally.
Tony didn't want to take this hot potato!
But even though he had scolded everyone, including Fudge, in his heart, his face remained normal.
"Minister, you know me. I got an E in both O.W.L and N.E.W.T. and my current level is not that high. I am not suitable to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts!"
Faced with Fudge's expectant eyes, Tony racked his brains to shirk.
Now he is not thinking about getting a promotion and a raise, becoming the Minister of Magic, and reaching the pinnacle of life. []
It's good enough to be able to save his life.
I have given you so many ideas, and you Fudge treat me like this?
"It doesn't matter. Everyone knows what level of Defense Against the Dark Arts professors recruited by Hogwarts in recent years. Even criminals in Azkaban can take up the position. Tony, you are more than qualified."
Fudge seemed to not understand Tony's eyes and comforted him directly.
This is the truth. It can be said that as long as you are willing, any adult wizard with no brain problems can serve as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, because if Dumbledore doesn't want this class to be vacant, there is no room for selection.
"Why don't you let Gilderoy Lockhart go?"
"He has been a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for a year. He is experienced and popular. He will definitely be able to complete your task."
Tony didn't dare to answer at all, so he could only make such a suggestion.
It's impossible for me to go anyway. At worst, you can just fire me.
I have made a lot of money in these years. I can retire abroad and don't have to get involved in this mess.
"Gilderoy Lockhart is not one of us."
Fudge shook his head and refused directly.
Lockhart joined the Ministry of Magic through Ludo's path, but he joined the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. He is not the same as himself.
For this kind of thing, Fudge can only entrust it to someone he trusts, and Lockhart is not in this range.
On the contrary, if he entrusts it to Lockhart, once he joins forces with Amelia Bones, he will be in a passive position.
"Then it's Dolores Jane Umbridge. She has been expecting you to give her another chance."
Tony has already given up. He won't go anyway.
And Tony is not wrong. Everyone knows what kind of person Dolores Jane Umbridge is.
She was born as a half-blood wizard. Her father was a floor cleaner in the Ministry of Magic. She was able to climb up like this. She relied on her fighting spirit and desire for power. Now she will definitely seize the opportunity.
Since she used Fudge to block the thunder last time, Umbridge was expelled from Fudge's small team. Although she made a mistake at that time, it was not enough to be thrown into Azkaban.
But in order to punish her, Fudge still used a little power to let Umbridge take over her father's job and become a glorious cleaner.
But during this year, Umbridge did not give up and kept thinking about crawling back. She contacted many old friends here, some of whom were her bedmates when she was young. But now, with Umbridge's appearance, who would still hang on to her!
Now, there is a mission that is very likely to cost her life, and Tony thought of this former close friend.
Fudge was silent after hearing the name.
He still had a lot of opinions about Umbridge.
It was because of that accident that he became a joke and lost face abroad. Fudge could not forgive her for this alone.
Give her a chance. To be honest, Fudge really didn't want to, and didn't even want to see her.
But looking at the performance of the people below, Fudge knew that everyone in this group was willing to go.
It seemed that apart from Umbridge, he couldn't find a more suitable candidate.
"Tony, you go and contact Umbridge.".
Chapter 299
"Haha, interesting, ahem!"
Hiding in the safe house, Voldemort looked at the newspaper in his hand, and his ugly and deformed face smiled happily.
In the past, Voldemort had no habit of reading newspapers.
Any important news was reported directly to him by his Death Eaters.
But since he knew that Dumbledore and Fudge had fallen out and fired at each other, Voldemort did not miss a single issue of the newspaper. What could be happier than seeing his old enemy in trouble!
Since they lived in the safe house, the owls that delivered newspapers here could not arrive, so Voldemort gave this task to Goyle and Crabbe.
Although he was quite short of manpower now, if they couldn't even do this little thing well, Voldemort didn't mind sending them to see Mandel.
Fortunately, these two people did not make any mistakes. They delivered the newspapers to Voldemort as soon as they received them every day.
After eating today's melon, Voldemort put down the newspaper and came to a renovated laboratory.
"Snape, have you achieved any results now?"
Hearing the voice of Voldemort behind him, Snape turned around and replied without any joy or sadness:
"No, failed again!"
I don't know if it's because he stayed in this laboratory for too long, Snape's hair became oilier, and he had two serious dark circles under his eyes, and his whole body became a degree whiter.
"Take a break, Hogwarts is about to start school, you should go back, but you can't neglect the task I gave you, and report the progress to me every month."
Although he was a little disappointed, Voldemort didn't blame Snape.
Voldemort knew how difficult the potion he was given to study was.
Or, this is not even a potion, just a concept and hypothesis, and it is naturally not an easy task to reproduce it.
After fighting the Balrog, Voldemort remodeled his body.
Physical fitness, magic power, and recovery speed have all increased significantly.
But that was only a semi-finished product, and he had to rely on potions to reconcile his body on weekdays.
If it were just that, Voldemort would not be so urgent.
In the battle with the Mind Flayer in Azkaban, he was injured several times in the middle, and his body was a little wrong at that time, but after drinking the potion, he could still hold on.
But after returning, his body has not recovered to its peak state, and he needs to take potions more frequently, and the number is increasing day by day.
In this situation, Voldemort also knows that this is because the body is damaged and a lot of magic power is consumed, resulting in irreversible damage to the body that was originally imperfectly transformed.
Until it is resolved, Voldemort will not dare to start a fierce battle again.
There is no way. Once he is injured again or consumes a lot of magic power, he doesn't know what his body will be like.
So, after escaping from Azkaban, Voldemort once again looked forSnape came, and he was not allowed to go out during this period. He has been studying potions for himself here.
Human body transformation, this is the technology Voldemort obtained in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.
The principle Sacharus Lytlin also stayed.
In more ancient times, there was a legend that some wizards successfully integrated the blood of magical animals.
Others think it is a legend, but Sacharus Lytlin does not think so. He found some evidence and conducted research on it.
The result is human body transformation, which involves three technologies: alchemy, spells, and potions.
Even this human body transformation still has many defects.
So much so that Slytherin did not use it on himself, but left this technology when he left, so that his descendants could perfect it.
But after Voldemort found Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, he didn't care about it. After graduation, he transformed himself, and his strength did improve.
He chose the basilisk, the one in the chamber of secrets.
After the human body transformation, although he did not obtain the basilisk's ability to petrify and super-strong poison, his physical fitness, magic power, and resistance were greatly improved, and the substitute for strength was obvious.
But Voldemort also knew that the degree of completion of this human body transformation was not high. After all, according to Slytherin, the real human body transformation will obtain the special abilities of the magical animal after success, and there will be no side effects. Voldemort not only became a half-human and half-ghost, but also stupid and without any ability.
Later, Voldemort also conducted a lot of research, but it was not considered to be serious. This was too difficult, and even if he got the abilities of the magical animal, it would not be of much use. What era is it? Those abilities can be replaced by spells.
Even if there are some results, he dare not use them on himself.
Until the day when he was beaten to a pulp by the Balrog, he directly used the research results of many years on himself.
This time, I chose the Thestrals, which had a pretty good effect, with obvious improvements in all aspects, but I still didn't get any special abilities.
It was nothing at first, but after a fight, it became like this.
Voldemort knew that there were two ways to solve the problem. One was to die and then revive again, with a brand new body, which shouldn't be as bad as it is now.
But Harry Potter's blood had to be obtained again, and now he was protected by Dumbledore, so it wasn't that easy to get.
Especially since he didn't have anyone to use, he might have to do it himself, and he might have to face Dumbledore directly at that time, which Voldemort didn't want to do.
The second option was to continue the human body transformation and thoroughly perfect it, which would not only solve the problem of the body, but also take it to the next level.
After repeated thinking, Voldemort naturally chose the second option.
In order to perfect it, Voldemort set his sights on the Chimera, the Sphinx, the Manticore, and the Scorpion.These magical animals.
These are all magical animals created by wizards using spells and alchemy. Since they can integrate various genes and reach a state of balance.
Why can't I transform my own human body?
For this reason, Voldemort dissected these three magical animals and checked some information about their birth. However, the records were not very detailed, and there was no specific step. After all, these things were all before the Common Era, where could there be any detailed information left? Now they are all natural reproductions and I don't know how many generations.
I have some ideas, but I can't do it directly. The human body is definitely not as resistant as magical animals. If there is a slight problem, it will be almost GG.
Therefore, Voldemort needs the assistance of potions, a potion that can perfectly blend the blood of three magical animals and make them perfectly integrated.
And let Snape make this potion according to his own ideas.
In the field of potions, Voldemort had to admit that Snape was above him and was definitely one of the top five potion masters in the wizarding world.
He was also the only person he could find to help him brew this potion.
But the result was obvious. After wasting so many materials, he still got nothing.
"I know, Master~!"
Faced with Voldemort's request, Snape did not dare to neglect it and agreed immediately.
"If you need any potion materials, go contact Lucius. By the way, make a copy of your research log and leave it."
That's right, Lucius provided all the expenses during this period. Voldemort had no money anyway.
After giving a few more suggestions, especially about the undercover matters, Voldemort let Snape leave.
There was no way. Even if he was unwilling, there was only half a month left before Hogwarts started.
As the dean of Slytherin and the professor of potions, Snape really needed to return to Hogwarts to do some preparations.
Voldemort still wanted him to continue to be an undercover agent in Dumbledore, so he naturally couldn't keep him any longer, otherwise he would probably arouse Dumbledore's suspicion.
During this period, Snape also used the excuse that he had no time to make potions, but this reason was not omnipotent.
After Snape left, Voldemort was not in a hurry to leave, but looked through Snape's research log during this period.
After Voldemort put down the heavy notebook, he went to the reception room and contacted Lucius and others through the Dark Mark.
Now we are going to enter the next stage.
Snape continued to be an undercover agent, and Lucius lay dormant, providing intelligence and financial assistance.
As for Barty Crouch Jr., it was not ideal to win over the giants. He met the people sent by Dumbledore to stop him, and they told him about Voldemort's recent situation in the giant tribe, so he naturally couldn't recruit anyone.
There is no other way. Voldemort is going to let Barty Crouch Jr. go to Europe to try the vampire route.If the clan is not there, Dumbledore will not be able to interfere!
As for myself, it is time to improve myself. I have seen the location of ancient magic.
I have encountered relics related to this before. Now I can go and see if there are any clues.
My body can still bear it now. As long as I don't experience fierce battles, I can suppress it by taking medicine. (To read violent novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
…
Just when Voldemort summoned Lucius and others to a meeting, Snape, who returned to his residence in Spinner's End, contacted Dumbledore as soon as possible.
During this period, Snape naturally did not dare to do anything small with Voldemort, even if he had the brain occlusion technique.
So much so that he did not dare to contact Dumbledore at all, for fear of arousing Voldemort's suspicion.
Snape did not wait for long before a ball of fire appeared out of thin air in the center of the living room.
When the flames dissipated, Dumbledore appeared in front of Snape with the phoenix Fawkes.
But now Dumbledore was obviously a little tired and looked much older.
Although he had white hair and beard before, his mental state was still quite good and his face was quite ruddy, but now it is far worse.
There was no other way. After the Azkaban incident, he went to Nurmengard.
After learning from that man that the Mind Flayer had nothing to do with him, he could only let the newly reorganized Order of the Phoenix under his command collect intelligence.
This was not over yet. Fudge slandered him again, causing him to either explain to his old friends or issue statements during this period, which added a lot of work.
This summer vacation, Voldemort, Balrog, Mind Flayer, Fudge, everything had to be taken care of. It was much busier than when he was still in school at Hogwarts.
And except for Fudge, these guys were more troublesome than each other.
Faced with this situation, a body over a hundred years old naturally couldn't bear it.
Now, after receiving Snape's message, she put down her work and rushed over as soon as possible. After returning, she had to continue to deal with things.
By the way, Hogwarts is about to start school, so she has to be busy again.
And the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was sent by the Ministry of Magic because the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts was disguised as a Death Eater, and Hogwarts did a very poor job in this regard.
So he brought the opinions of the students' parents and sent a special person from the Ministry of Magic to serve as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. He couldn't refuse this.
It seems that it was the same person who caused Fudge to be bitten by the Winged Demon.
She came to Hogwarts, and it was definitely not as simple as being a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. The workload must have increased a lot.
Thinking of this, Dumbledore felt a headache.
"Severus, do you have anything to report?"
Although Snape had been making excuses for brewing potions, he had notHe had contacted me and replied to the messages I sent him in a very formal way, so Dumbledore could naturally guess where he was.
After all, Snape had reported to me before that I had safely lurked beside Voldemort.
"Voldemort has a problem with his body, and he needs a lot of potions every day to recuperate..."
Snape told Dumbledore everything he knew.
Although the British wizarding world is quite unstable now, all kinds of dark wizards have jumped out, and even Voldemort is a little overwhelmed.
But Snape is still concerned about Voldemort.
The Mind Flayer and the Balrog are not targeting Harry, so it's none of his business.
Now I tell Dumbledore all this just to see if he can seize any opportunities here. []
It's just that Snape concealed a little bit, and neither Dumbledore nor Voldemort told him.
That is, he had some clues about Voldemort's potion, but he had never experimented in that direction.
It was simple not to tell Voldemort. A healthy Voldemort was not a good Voldemort.
As for Dumbledore, Snape didn't want him to have any outrageous ideas. After all, many of Dumbledore's actions were quite unreliable in Snape's eyes, such as letting Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
I could see that he was wrong, so how could Dumbledore not know?
Snape had also read the newspapers during this period. He didn't think that the Ministry of Magic was writing nonsense. At least Dumbledore was definitely not as innocent as he seemed in the matter of Voldemort's resurrection.
On this issue, the two also talked for a long time.
Why do you all want to improve so much?
I have seen the Balrog three times, each time stronger than the last, and the progress is too fast.
Voldemort is too eager to improve now.
It's the Mind Flayer. It's the first time I've seen him. I can't say much about him.
Can't he be a little more lazy like me? .
