Chapter 309
At the end of October, the temperature in the Scottish Highlands dropped sharply, and the damp cold enveloped Hogwarts Castle.
It rained heavily for several days in a row, and bullet-sized raindrops hit the windows of the castle, the lake rose, and the flower beds were full of mud.
The students once again caught a cold, making the school doctor Ms. Pomfrey extremely busy.
As a senior investigator, Umbridge banned all Quidditch training activities.
The reason was that the students did not take care of their bodies and trained in heavy rain, which not only caused them to catch a cold, but also infected their classmates, and even made the clean corridors of Hogwarts full of mud marks.
In response, the Gryffindor Quidditch players naturally expressed strong protests, but it was of no use.
As a result, the members of the Gryffindor team were extremely depressed these days.
This year, their team captain Wood and goalkeeper both graduated, and Angelina Johnson took over. At the same time, there were no new players with strong ability, which led to a sharp decline in the strength of the Gryffindor team this year.
Originally, they thought that they could make up for the gap through diligent training, but the reality was not as they wished.
In this way, two days later, it was Halloween Eve.
As usual, when the students arrived at the auditorium, it was decorated with bats, dark clouds, pumpkins and other decorations.
But the little wizards did not have the same joy as before.
The whole dinner ended in a dull manner. There was not even a single activity throughout the whole process. The students were also quiet and there was no communication.
It was like having a more luxurious dinner, that's all.
Ethan felt a little uncomfortable when he returned to the dormitory!
Every year on Halloween Eve, something has to happen.
In the first year, Quirrell brought in a troll.
In the second year, the basilisk petrified Filch, and Voldemort's diary left a message on the wall about the return of the heir.
In the third year, Sirius Black broke into Hogwarts, and the Dementors were also led by Peter, causing greater panic.
In the fourth year, the Goblet of Fire spit out the day of being selected as a champion for the Triwizard Tournament. Harry was tampered with by Barty Crouch Jr., causing him to be selected, and because of Ethan, he became nine champions, which was also an accident.
Earlier, Voldemort went to the Potters on Halloween Eve, killed James and his wife, and was shot to death by his own big melon, resulting in the birth of the savior.
Thinking of this, Ethan always wanted to make some noise.
Even if he couldn't make some accidents in Hogwarts, he had to make some news outside!
Lying on the bed in the Ravenclaw dormitory, Ethan took out the wizard mailbox.
I remember that Amelia had reported to me a few days ago.
Because Azkaban was burned down during the battle between Ethan and Voldemort, the Death Eaters who were originally imprisoned, lost their prison, and had to be placed in the Ministry of Magic.
Just a while ago, they completed the transformation of an air-raid shelter outside London and used it as a new prison.
This was obtained through negotiations between the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle world, but the Ministry of Magic still needed to expand the space inside and set various spells inside before it could be used. It was not until a few days ago that it was completely completed and the Death Eaters were placed inside.
It's not that they don't want to rebuild Azkaban, but that place has been discovered by Voldemort.
If they continue to rebuild there, Voldemort can go there to rescue them at any time?
It's not always that there is a fight between the Mind Flayer and Voldemort, and Dumbledore arrives in time.
Now, Ethan plans to transform into Voldemort, rescue those Death Eaters, and then go to the Ministry of Magic.
Who made Fudge live in the Ministry of Magic 24 hours a day and never go home? If you want to find him, just go to the Ministry of Magic.
After doing this, Amelia can be promoted in advance.
Originally, this matter was planned to be carried out during Christmas or summer vacation, but now Ethan feels that this news is very suitable for Halloween.
There is also a detailed address of the prison on it, deep in a park in Brentford.
And this matter does not require the cooperation of others at all, Ethan can act alone.
Looking at the roommates who were still chatting and not sleepy in the dormitory, Ethan quietly used a silent sleeping spell.
This is not the kind of sleeping spell that takes effect directly. It takes a relatively slow time to take effect, but it is hidden and safe.
In just three minutes, the three roommates have begun to snore, obviously falling into a deep sleep.
Ethan turned into a shadow and came to the outside of Ravenclaw Tower through the gap of the window. With the ability of shadow stealth, he moved quickly in Ravenclaw Tower and the Forbidden Forest.
Ethan stopped only when he left the area covered by Hogwarts.
Then he arrived at Brentford with an apparition.
Surrey is also a suburb of London. Ethan has lived there for eleven years. Brentford is not far from Surrey, so Ethan has naturally been there.
It's just that Ethan doesn't know where the air-raid shelter is.
But it doesn't matter. Just look back at the map and signboards. After all, Amelia told Ethan the detailed location.
He didn't take out the modified McLaren sports car. He just used an incarnation spell and strolled on the street.
At this point, there were no pedestrians on the street, only a few vehicles coming and going in a hurry.
According to the map, Ethan found his destination without much effort. It was surrounded by barbed wire.
Moreover, Ethan could sense the breath of some spells, such as the Muggle Repelling Spell.
With a simple levitation spell, Ethan crossed the barbed wire directly.Silk screen, and restrained his breath.
Because he was no longer human, the night could not block Ethan's sight at all. Ethan, who was floating in the sky, soon found the entrance to the air-raid shelter.
Coming to this carelessly open entrance, there was a long and narrow tunnel going down. The whole tunnel was not spacious. Only the lights hanging on both sides revealed a little light. The dim space gave people a sense of oppression.
After standing at the entrance of the tunnel and looking at it for a few times, Ethan walked quietly inside and completed the transformation in the process.
Having bright scarlet eyes with narrow pupils, the blood-red eyes looked brighter in the dark, the pupils were two slits, and the body was tall and thin, like a skeleton, with pale skin, a bald head without hair, a mouth without lips, two slender nostrils on the face, fingers like the feet of pale spiders, and a black robe.
Having dealt with Voldemort several times, Ethan naturally remembered his appearance, and using the Transfiguration Spell to transform into his appearance was naturally not a problem.
At the same time, Voldemort, who was conducting human experiments on local wizards in the Mediterranean region, sneezed violently.
"Who wants to harm me again?"
Stopped his hand, Voldemort walked to the window and looked at the dark and starless night sky and muttered to himself.
"No, I have to speed up."
In the air-raid shelter, Ethan didn't walk far before he saw the guards of this new prison.
They were in a pavilion, with a total of two people, about 40 or 50 years old.
But these two people were obviously not alert, even when Ethan approached, they were still touching the wine bottles.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Who is it!"
Hearing the knocking sound, the two quickly put down the bottles in their hands, picked up the wands on the table and became alert, but there was no one outside the window.
Today is Halloween Eve. Although they have to stay here because of the mission, what's wrong with eating something good and drinking a little wine?
As a new prison, not many people know about it. Voldemort has also suffered a series of setbacks during this period and is unlikely to take action again.
But the reality is so cruel. He has encountered this situation just a few days after taking office.
As prison guards, if someone from the Ministry of Magic comes, they will definitely follow the procedures and notify them in advance. Now there is only one possibility.
Prison break!
Thinking of this, the two immediately prepared to press the alarm equipment connected to the Ministry of Magic, but the hands they raised were stiff in the air, and there was a strange happiness on their faces.
After controlling the two people, Ethan walked directly into the pavilion and began to ask them about the situation here.
This prison was built by Fudge's people and they are also in charge of it.
In order to change his reputation and compete with Dumbledore, he published his firm opposition to Voldemort in the newspaper and promised that he would never let these Death Eaters escape from prison.=|
Amelia didn't know much about the details inside, but Fudge did a good job of keeping it secret. (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Unfortunately, because he had to communicate with the Aurors, the address of the prison could not be concealed.
Through the control of the two people by the Imperius Curse, Ethan also understood the situation inside.
The main jailer was still the Dementor. When the Dementor escaped, the Ministry of Magic immediately launched a pursuit.
Once the Dementor got out of control, the damage caused to the Muggle world was greater than anything else.
They feed on emotions, and both Muggles and wizards can satisfy them in this regard, and they especially like crowded places, and bustling metropolises are their first choice.
Muggles have no means to defend against them, and physical attacks are ineffective against them. This is a completely unsolvable existence.
Therefore, the Ministry of Magic put the task of chasing the Dementors in the first place.
During this period, most of the fleeing Dementors were chased back and now they are concentrated here to do their own business.
In addition to the Dementors, the Ministry of Magic also set up some traps here, such as the trigger-shaped Fiery Curse, the Freezing Curse, the Petrification Curse, and some areas were set up with biting cabbages, etc.
After asking clearly, Ethan had no intention of going over to break through.
"Bring out all the Death Eaters!"
"Yes!"
The two nodded immediately and walked towards the dark passage with a lantern.
It must be said that the Imperius Curse is really too convenient. You don't need to do anything yourself.
And it is also quite difficult to defend against it. []
After handing over the task, Ethan sat on the chair and waited for more than an hour. A noisy voice came from the dark passage in the distance.
"Master, Master, I knew you would come again!"
"Haha... I'm free..."
"Damn you Aurors..."
Ethan suddenly felt a little headache. Although the appearance was right, he had to pretend to be Voldemort, the crazy guy. This would test his acting skills!
Immediately, Ethan relied on his strong memory to replay the scenes related to Voldemort in his mind.
"Congratulations on regaining your freedom. Now I will lead you to take back your honor!"
"Perhaps the last failure will disappoint you, but I have gained more powerful power now, and the world will finally surrender to us."
"Now, pick up your wand and go to the Ministry of Magic with me, which will be our new starting point."
Ethan walked out of the pavilion and issued his own declaration to the 42 Death Eaters below.
As for the two prison guards who brought them out, they are now missing.Ethan didn't want to care where Ying went, because he was Fudge's man anyway.
Then he pointed to the box in the pavilion, and suddenly several wands of different colors, lengths, and thicknesses floated in front of the Death Eaters.
These wands were all captured by Ethan before, mainly contributed by wizards in Greece when he was there, and a total of hundreds of them were harvested.
These wands were useless after Ethan put them away, and they were thrown aside all the time. Now they can be said to be recycled.
Just now in the pavilion, Ethan picked out dozens of them for them to choose from.
Compared to the mass-produced goods prepared by Voldemort last time, Ethan's wands are obviously much better.
They can choose the right wand to use according to their own characteristics.
"This one is mine!"
"I saw it first!"
"Get out of here!"
They are worthy of being Death Eaters. A conflict broke out so quickly, and it was within their own group.
Sure enough, many of them had no concept of companions.
But fortunately, because Ethan, disguised as Voldemort, was still at the scene, it did not turn into a scene of spell bombardment.
"Master, I was wrong, can you forgive me?"
"I shouldn't..."
Bellatrix, who had grabbed the wand, staggered forward a few steps and knelt directly at Ethan's feet, speaking incoherently to beg Voldemort's forgiveness.
Her face was full of panic.
During this period of imprisonment, Bellatrix has been living in this panic.
She figured out that the reason Voldemort fought last time was because she acted rashly.
Later, she was controlled by the other party and released the killing curse on Voldemort more than once.
After doing these things, Bellatrix was very afraid that Voldemort would give up on her.
This was something Bellatrix, who regarded Voldemort as a belief, was absolutely unwilling to endure.
Even if she died, she didn't want to be blamed and hated by Voldemort.
"It's not your fault, Bella!"
"What is our goal!"
"Ministry of Magic!"
"Ministry of Magic!"
"Ministry of Magic Zhu!"
Chapter 310
"Antonin, take a few people to release the Dementors!"
"Bella, wait for Antonin to return, press the alarm and attract the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic!"
Before leaving, he ordered again.
According to the two prison guards before, Ethan learned that this was an alchemical device specially set up by the Ministry of Magic for prison safety.
As long as it is pressed here, the corresponding alchemical device in the office of the Ministry of Magic's prison will sound.
At that time, the Ministry of Magic will rescue this place as soon as possible.
This is also the reason why the two prison guards pressed the alarm switch as soon as they found that something was wrong.
Unfortunately, the two were controlled by Ethan just when they were about to take action.
Otherwise, if they want to go to the Ministry of Magic now, they have to fight here first.
As for the Dementors, they are naturally needed to trip up the Aurors.
Brentford is different from Azkaban, an isolated island in the deep sea. Although it is a suburb of London, it is also one of the most prosperous areas in Great Britain.
It is behind the park, and there are several communities not far away. This is definitely a delicacy that Dementors cannot refuse.
As long as they escape from this prison, they will definitely be tempted to go and eat.
When the Aurors arrive, according to the Statute of Secrecy, they cannot expose the affairs of the wizarding world, and they will definitely arrest these escaped Dementors as soon as possible.
"Yes!"
Bellatrix and Antonin Dolohov naturally would not have any doubts about Voldemort's words.
Antonin Dolohov immediately named several Death Eaters to go to the depths of the tunnel with him. Before Ethan had to wait for long, the temperature around him began to drop sharply and became extremely cold.
The next moment, a group of people wearing black cloaks, whose bodies were rotten and whose facial features could not be seen clearly after being soaked in water for a long time, floated over Ethan and others.
The Dementors did not even look at the old friends below.
After all, if they were exploited every day, there would be no hope and happiness for them to absorb. They could only barely maintain their lives.
In comparison, the colorful atmosphere outside was much more attractive.
Ethan and others did not stop them at all.
After Antonin Dolohov returned, Bellatrix immediately walked to the pavilion, found the alchemical device and took a fierce photo of it.
Many Death Eaters could understand Voldemort's arrangement.
As expected of the Black 767 Demon Lord, he had calculated everything.
It was late at night, and there were not many Aurors left in the Ministry. In addition to some staff on duty, there were only some wizards living in the Ministry. It could be said that the power was the lowest during the day.
If the Aurors were attracted again, there would be almost no resistance inside the Ministry, and those Dementors who escaped would just be used to captureAurors.
Even if their bodies were not in peak condition and their wands were not very handy, they thought it would be no problem to beat those clerks.
And who would have thought that they would attack the Ministry of Magic as soon as they got the prison break!
After everything was done, Ethan announced it immediately!
"The Ministry of Magic will be destroyed today!"
"Pick up your wands, and we will give the Minister of Magic a gift for Halloween!"
Bellatrix, who walked out of the pavilion, laughed when he heard it:
"Fudge will definitely like this gift!"
The other Death Eaters also laughed, and they couldn't wait to vent their anger.
Led by Ethan, a series of black figures appeared on a bleak street.
There are only a few shabby-looking offices, a tavern and a dump truck that is almost overflowing.
Of course, there is also a shabby red telephone booth with several pieces of glass missing and a wall that is painted all over.
Ethan and others came directly to the red telephone booth.
This is the passage for outsiders to come to the Ministry of Magic to handle business.
This is the only way to go at this time of night.
After all, this time is not the normal working hours of the Ministry of Magic. Except for those special fireplaces, all other fireplaces that can enter and exit the Ministry of Magic are closed.
Even the lobby where Apparition can reach is now prohibited.
Of course, under normal circumstances, this passage also needs to dial the correct number, and then contact the person on the other side to confirm the identity and the business to be handled before it will be opened by the other party.
But Ethan definitely doesn't need this step now. Anyway, as long as he can be sure that the Ministry of Magic is below, it will be fine.
He immediately drew out his wand and pointed at the dilapidated red telephone booth. A ball of orange-red flames directly wrapped up the telephone booth. The visible telephone booth disappeared in the flames, and the last ball of hot flames fell directly below the telephone booth.
A few seconds later, a violent explosion sounded from below, followed by flames rushing to the ground.
Ethan pointed his wand, and the flames gradually subsided, and then he jumped into the dark pit first.
Under the effect of the special flying spell, Ethan's lower body turned directly into dark mist, coupled with the fluttering black magic robe on his body and the deformed appearance of Voldemort, it really had a bit of the flavor of Dementors.
With Ethan leading the way, other Death Eaters also jumped into the pit one after another, and then used the same flying spell as Ethan.
It can be said that this spell is a skill that Death Eaters must learn.
At the same time, the originally quiet Ministry of Magic was suddenly destroyed by the red telephone booth and the fallingThe fireball directly caused the alarm inside the Ministry of Magic to ring non-stop.
Many staff members who stayed in the Ministry of Magic also came here according to the noise.
"What happened?"
A thin middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses walked over quickly. Simpson Cress, the deputy director of the Security Management Office, was also startled by the noise.
In order to find out the situation, he ran out of the office as soon as possible.
This Security Management Office is a special department. There must be someone on duty 24 hours a day, and there must be a deputy director or director on duty.
There are two deputy directors and one director. This week's night shift is Simpson Cress' turn to work.
Not long ago, the alarm of the new prison in Brentford sounded, and Simpson Cress went to deal with it as soon as possible.
Although there were doubts about whether there was a problem with the equipment or it was accidentally touched, otherwise how could this prison that not many people knew about go wrong so quickly?
But Simpson Cress didn't dare to gamble.
Because their office was directly managed by Fudge, and the people inside had long been replaced by Fudge's confidants.
At the beginning, Fudge published in the newspaper that he would firmly fight against Voldemort and promised that he would never let these Death Eaters escape.
It was also that he took that opportunity to seize the management of the prison.
Now this prison has only been built for a few days. If there is a problem now, wouldn't it be a slap in Fudge's face?
Moreover, this will also give Dumbledore or Amelia Bones a good opportunity to attack Fudge.
Now that the situation has improved a little, he dare not ruin Fudge's good deeds, so no matter whether there is a real problem with the new prison in Brentford or the two guards accidentally touched it, he has to deal with it as soon as possible.
So, Simpson Cress immediately contacted the Auror on duty at the Ministry of Magic to handle emergencies.
And emphasized the danger and the consequences of the successful escape of the Death Eaters, and asked all three teams of Aurors to go to the new prison in Brentford to suppress it, and must not let a Death Eater escape successfully.
As a result, Simpson Cress, who had just sent these Aurors away, returned to the office. Before he could even sit down, several alarms went off and there were explosions outside.
Realizing that something big had happened, Simpson Cress ran out as soon as possible without delay.
"It was an attack, Director!"
"The telephone booth at the visitor's office was destroyed, and then a large ball of fire fell down!"
A young man on duty not far away also witnessed the scene. When faced with Simpson Kress's inquiry, he immediately reported it.
An attack, it really happened!
This immediately reminded Simpson Kress of,The alarm of the new Brentford prison just received in the office.
Whether the new Brentford prison was really attacked or the wrong signal transmitted by the alchemical equipment was interfered, one thing can be confirmed, that is, these attackers are using this to draw out the power of the Ministry of Magic.
Undoubtedly, their plan was successful, and they sent out the Auror troops.
"Effie, you quickly contact the Aurors and ask them to withdraw. The prison is just a feint. The real target of those dark wizards is the Ministry of Magic."
"Then contact Mr. Minister and activate the first-level alarm!"
Thinking of the key point, Simpson Cress immediately turned his head and said to one of the two people behind him.
This is also a member of the Security Management Office, but she is now an intern who has just joined.
The reason why she is taken care of at this moment is because of her connections.
"I'll go right away, Director!"
Effie didn't dare to delay, and immediately took action and ran to the office she had just come out of.
At the same time, she also knew that the Director asked her to stay away from the battlefield, so even if she was sent to run errands at this moment, she had no complaints.
After doing all this, Simpson Cress shouted:
"Everyone draw your wands, and be sure to hold on until the Aurors return!"
Hearing this, some wizards around were also on high alert, of course they had already drawn their wands before this.
After all, from that movement, anyone who is not a fool can see that the other party is not a good person.
At the same time, Simpson Cress was also thinking about who would attack the Ministry of Magic again. (To read the violent novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
But there was also a little luck in his heart.
What if this was just the red telephone booth that was cast with a spell, and it broke down due to old age and disrepair, causing an explosion and burning, and then it fell down by itself!
Although the probability is relatively small, there is still a possibility!
However, as a figure in a black robe appeared in front of everyone in the dark passage, Simpson Cress's fantasy was ruthlessly broken.
He stared at the figure with his eyes fixed, and said in disbelief:
"God... the mysterious man?"
Who else could look like this except the mysterious man?
This discovery made Simpson Cress's hand holding the magic wand tremble unconsciously, and he didn't even dare to shout out the name Voldemort.
Although, during this period of time, Voldemort's status in the British wizarding world has been declining again and again.
First he was forced to flee after being hammered by the Balrog, then he was defeated in a fight with the Mind Flayer. Now he is no longer the number one dark wizard.
There are even rumors that Voldemort has been hammered twice and is too embarrassed to face people and dare not cause trouble again.
But in the hearts of many wizards, the fear of Voldemort is already rooted in their bones. Who made those fewIn the past ten years, Voldemort has brought great harm to the wizards in Britain.
So much so that they dare not even mention his name.
Besides, just because others can beat Voldemort doesn't mean that people on their side can look down on him.
Whether it is the Balrog or the Mind Flayer, neither of the two who can beat Voldemort belongs to the Ministry of Magic. []
Now Voldemort has rescued his Death Eaters and led the Aurors out. At this point, it is too late even if he wants to do something.
As early as the moment Ethan appeared, the wizards who were originally surrounded in the hall began to flee in panic, and screams of fear were endless.
Most wizards did not have the courage to face the Dark Lord head-on, including Simpson Cress. After finding a reason for himself, he had already retreated quietly, so that there was no one on the scene to take charge of the situation.
"Avada Kedavra!"
A dazzling green light flashed by, and a random unlucky fell to the ground silently.
As a Dark Lord, he must behave like a Dark Lord, and at this moment, he naturally needs to treat people to a bit of a big melon.
Of course, Ethan did not use the advanced Kedavra curse, which was still in a single-shot state and could not be ejected.
Who made Voldemort, who specializes in eating big melons, unable to reach this step!
After the first death, the already chaotic scene became even more chaotic, and countless people screamed and wanted to escape from here.
However, what made them even more desperate was that a large number of Death Eaters who used variant flying spells landed directly in various places in the main hall.
"Crucia!"
"Avada Kedavra!"
As soon as they landed, the Death Eaters vented their anger for being imprisoned for so many years.
More than a dozen people fell down on the spot, some were quite peaceful as if they were asleep, while others were rolling on the ground and wailing in pain.
But after all, this is the Ministry of Magic. As the alarm sounded, the people who stayed here continued to rush here and began to gather under the organization of the leader. .
Chapter 311
"Blow up the fireplace first!"
Looking at the Death Eaters who were in a state of excitement, Ethan ordered in Voldemort's unique hoarse voice.
At this point in time, most of the fireplaces in the main hall were shut down. Even if you knew the correct address, you couldn't use the floo powder to get there. There were only a few special fireplaces, which were used by some people and were open 24 hours a day.
But this kind of shutdown can be opened at any time in the Department of Magical Transportation. They have a floo network management bureau.
In other words, as long as they react, the support of the Ministry of Magic can be continuously transmitted through the fireplace.
As for the anti-apparition spell that is now activated, it is not so easy to shut it down. Someone needs to operate it in the main hall. But now this is the scene of the battle. Do they have the time and space to operate it?
Faced with Voldemort's order, the Death Eaters, except those who were fighting, began to attack the gilded fireplaces embedded in the wooden boards on both sides.
In the red flames, the gilded fireplaces turned into fragments and exploded everywhere.
Ethan also waved his wand, and the passage was full of Fiendfyres. If you want to get in, you have to break through or extinguish these Fiendfyres.
It's just that the golden fragments all over the ground made Ethan feel quite sorry. Even in the wizarding world, gold is a precious metal.
And the huge golden statue, can it be taken away?
There is a fountain in the middle of the two warring parties, and a group of pure gold statues stand in the middle of the circular pool.
When he came to the Ministry of Magic before, Ethan suspected that this three or four-meter-high statue composed of wizards, witches, centaurs, goblins, and house elves was gold or gold-plated.
But without actual testing, Ethan did not dare to confirm it.
When Amelia Bones was asked later, she gave an accurate answer, pure gold.
Just as Ethan was looking at the pure gold statue, the Ministry of Magic also organized a counterattack.
More and more members of the Ministry of Magic gathered here. The wizards who were desperately fleeing at the beginning also knew that it was time to fight to the death when the fireplace was blown up.
For a while, both sides actually fought in a very good manner.
There was no way. After all, the Death Eaters had just been released from prison. Their physical condition was completely at a low point, and their wands were not very handy. They could fight like this because of their crazy energy and fearless spirit.
As for the Ministry of Magic, even the clerks, although they had no chance to fight after entering the Ministry of Magic, they were considered to be the better graduates of Hogwarts at the time, and they still had an advantage in numbers.
Some older ones, even clerks, had participated in the last wizard war started by Voldemort, so their strength was quite good.
"Jesse, what's wrong now!"
Fudge, wearing brown pajamas, sat anxiously on the sofa and asked his guardCaptain.
As early as the moment the alarm sounded, Fudge was awakened and knew what happened. After all, as the Minister and still in the Ministry of Magic, Fudge was naturally the first person to be notified.
But Fudge had no intention of going out, and he didn't even send out any of his guards.
The reason why he came to live in the Ministry of Magic now is because the wizarding world is too dangerous now. As the Minister of Magic, he might be attacked one day. Compared with home, the Ministry of Magic is naturally safer.
Now that he knew that Voldemort was outside, he immediately summoned the guards to protect himself.
Anyone who is not a fool knows that after Voldemort comes, he will not end up well. He will either be killed or controlled by the Imperius Curse.
These guards were specially selected by him after the Triwizard Tournament.
After the accident at the Quidditch World Cup, Fudge brought the Auror troops to protect his safety.
But at the moment when the Triwizard Tournament ended, Fudge realized that the Aurors were not his own people.
So Fudge had to prepare this guard.
There were not too many people, only seven.
"The Death Eaters were stopped, but Voldemort has not taken action yet."
"The fireplaces were all blown up by the Death Eaters. The anti-Apparition spell in the Apparition Test Center could not be turned off, and the Aurors could not get in now."
Jesse looked at the wizard mailbox in his hand and quickly reported to Fudge.
It is convenient to have a wizard mailbox. Now they can understand the situation in time.
"Aren't you going out to take charge of the overall situation?"
Although he knew the answer, Jesse still asked a little unwillingly.
As the Minister of Magic, Fudge going out to take charge of the overall situation will definitely be inspiring. As for whether it is useful, I don't know.
But his own survival rate will definitely increase a lot.
After all, Voldemort is now attacking the Ministry of Magic, and he must be using Fudge, the Minister of Magic, as a sacrifice to restore his reputation, which has fallen a lot recently.
When Voldemort personally attacks and kills here, as Fudge's guard, facing Voldemort, it is basically impossible to survive.
On the contrary, on the front battlefield, the ones fighting are Death Eaters, and maybe they can find a chance to escape.
Being a guard is also a job for money.
If Fudge hadn't given them enough gold Galleons, they wouldn't have come here. Who knew they would encounter such a big thing now.
If they really had the strength to dare to fight Voldemort head-on, they would not come here to be a guard at all.
"Don't go out. Go contact Umbridge and other people outside. Ask them to find Dumbledore in person and ask him to come to the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible."
Fudge didn't even look up at his guards. He thought for a moment and said hurriedly.
Now Voldemort didn't make a move, and he could barely stop him. In other words, VoldemortAs soon as the devil made a move, the front line collapsed.
If you want to save yourself and beat back Voldemort, you still need someone who is strong enough.
Even if he had a falling out with Dumbledore, at this time, Fudge still thought of Dumbledore first.
Only he could come to the rescue.
As for what Fudge said in the newspaper some time ago that Dumbledore and Voldemort were colluding with each other, would this be a wolf in the house? Fudge himself knew that this was just to divert the trouble and hit Dumbledore's prestige. It was unlikely that the two would have any cooperation.
"I'll go now!"
After Jesse responded, he immediately took action.
After seeing Jesse start to contact people one by one, Fudge also sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.
Can Dumbledore come here in time?
Whether he is willing to come here is also a question worth thinking about.
It was late at night, and the little noise in the wizard mailbox was unlikely to wake up Dumbledore and let him know what happened in the Ministry of Magic.
So it was necessary to contact other people and ask them to call Dumbledore. It was uncertain how many of them would receive the message.
Especially that idiot. She was the closest to Dumbledore, and Fudge still had a glimmer of hope for her.
But after notifying Dumbledore, whether he would come or not was another question.
Recently, given the mess between him and me, if it was me, I would definitely watch Dumbledore die, and then hold a big party to celebrate for a week.
Moreover, after my death, the most likely person to take over was Amelia Bones, which was quite beneficial to them.
Fudge could not think of any reason why Dumbledore would come to save him, and his face became more and more gloomy.
He even regretted it a little and broke up with Dumbledore directly.
Jesse looked at Fudge while contacting the members of Fudge's party outside with the wizard mailbox and asked them to inform Dumbledore.
Seeing this, he also had some small thoughts.
Ethan saw that the Death Eaters had forced their way through several times, but failed to break through the defense line formed by the Ministry of Magic members, and more than ten of them died.
Immediately decided not to wait any longer.
Pointing the wand in his hand at the pure gold statue, the huge statue directly ignited orange-red flames, and the gold melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming a huge flaming golden python. The golden fragments on the ground also rushed to the golden python at a rapid speed.
The combined magic of Transfiguration and Fiery Fire was used successfully, and the huge flaming python immediately took action the moment it was formed.
With a sweep of the thick tail, several members of the Ministry of Magic were directly blown up, and even the fragments of the body were turned into ashes in the flames.
Although the sudden appearance of the golden flame python caught the members of the Ministry of Magic off guard, they quickly reacted. More than a dozen wizards joined forces and used magic spells to attack the golden flame python.Golden Flame Python.
Colorful spells hit the Golden Flame Python, and explosions continued to sound, directly hitting the surface of the python with pits and even a part of its head was knocked off, so that there was a lot of burning golden liquid on the ground. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
But what was beyond the expectations of the Ministry of Magic was that even though the Golden Flame Python was beaten into this state, it did not fall down. Instead, the flames burned more vigorously, and the burning golden liquid on the ground flew up directly to repair the broken python.

Magic creations are like this. As long as they are not broken up at once and the person who provides magic power is still there, they can use magic power to repair them continuously.
Looking at this scene, the members of the Ministry of Magic, who had gradually gained some confidence, also fell to the bottom of the valley.
When the Death Eaters saw this scene, they immediately became excited and rushed out one by one, charging fearlessly.
As for this magic, it did not arouse their suspicion at all.
They knew that Voldemort's Sharpfire was also quite amazing. Many people had seen the giant python transformed by Voldemort's Sharpfire.
Now it was just the gold transformed by the Transfiguration Spell. What's so strange about this?
The reorganized golden giant python charged again, and rushed into the formation of the Ministry of Magic personnel. After crushing and burning several people, the burning golden body exploded directly.
Countless fist-sized, burning golden liquid exploded in a fan shape, bombarding the Ministry of Magic personnel.
Originally, those huge pillars that were used as shelters by the Ministry of Magic personnel to protect themselves from the battle with the Death Eaters were also blasted to pieces under such violent attacks. Needless to say, the consequences for those Ministry of Magic members hiding behind them were of course severe.
Some used armor to protect themselves, but many blue barriers were directly shattered by the burning golden liquid.
Only a few were able to defend themselves.
Not to mention those who didn't even know the Shield Charm, because most of them were clerks, and the Shield Charm was not a compulsory spell.
Of course, not everyone would learn this more difficult spell.
In this round of attacks, more than half of the Ministry of Magic personnel who were organized to resist the Death Eaters were directly lost.
The remaining people also had indelible fear on their faces.
This is Voldemort, the man who brought darkness to the Ministry of Magic more than ten years ago. He is not at the same level as them.
He has such strength, what level can the Balrog and Mind Flayer who can suppress him be?
They dare not think about it.
A deep sense of despair began to spread in their hearts. As the first wizard put down his wand and knelt down to beg for mercy, more and more people chose to follow.
Behind these people, there are two peopleStanding together, their faces were quite ugly.
One was wearing a black suit, with a pale face and a look of kidney deficiency, while the other was full of flesh and looked fierce, wearing a gorgeous silver robe.
Piers Thicknesse and his assistant Corban Yaxley. The former is now the director of the Office for the Prohibition of the Improper Use of Magic and a member of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, but he is one of the few people on Fudge's side.
In the original book, Piers Thicknesse took over the position of Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement after the death of Amelia Bones, and then became the Minister of Magic after the death of Rufus Scrimgeour. Unfortunately, he was controlled by his assistant Corban Yaxley and worked for Voldemort.
His assistant Corban Yaxley, a hidden Death Eater, escaped the disaster at the beginning and thought that Voldemort had completely fallen. Like Lucius Malfoy and others, he whitewashed himself on the grounds that he was controlled by the Imperius Curse, and then joined the Ministry of Magic.
In the original book, after Voldemort was resurrected, he returned again and controlled Pius Thicknesse, making himself the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. After Pius Thicknesse fell, he became the Minister.
These two people can be said to be the two Ministers of the Ministry of Magic in the future.
According to what Lucius knew, Ethan did not summon him after his resurrection. []
They were the organizers of this group of Ministry of Magic personnel to stop the Death Eaters, but now they were directly beaten to pieces.
"Sorry!"
"What!"
"Soul out of the body!"
Without any resistance at all, Pius Thicknesse showed a happy smile on his face.
He never thought that his assistant would attack him.
Even if you want to persuade me to drop my wand and kneel down to surrender like those people to save my life, we can still discuss it!
Other Ministry of Magic personnel around also noticed this scene, but they didn't react.
Now that he couldn't save himself, how could he care about the conflict between his two superiors.
As for the use of the Unforgivable Curse, if he is still alive after this wave, he will naturally be handed over to the Ministry of Magic, but the premise is that he can still survive.
Chapter 312
"Master, Master, do you remember me? I am Coban!"
After using the Imperius Curse to control Pius Thicknesse, Coban Yaxley immediately transformed into a loyal Death Eater, kneeling on the ground with a flattering face to show his loyalty.
When Voldemort was resurrected in Little Hangleton, he used the Dark Mark to summon Death Eaters. Since Coban Yaxley was still working in the Ministry of Magic at that time.
Even though he was anxious and wanted to go because of Voldemort's pressure, he couldn't get away at that time, so he gave up and waited for Voldemort to summon him again.
Compared to the Ministry of Magic, he still had more confidence in Voldemort.
Unfortunately, Voldemort never summoned him. After the battle with the Balrog, Voldemort's myth was shattered, and he hid away to lick his wounds. He didn't even chase Igor Karkaroff, a traitor who escaped punishment by betraying the Death Eaters, so how could he care about Coban Yaxley.
After Voldemort was defeated by the Mind Flayer again, Coban Yaxley's mentality changed again. He didn't want to return to the Death Eaters.
Unfortunately, Voldemort now told him that your master is still your master.
In order to save his life, Coban Yaxley could only hold on to his identity as a Death Eater.
However, the development of things was not what Coban Yaxley expected.
"Haha, you traitor, now you know to call the master?"
Bellatrix kicked Coban Yaxley in the chest, kicking him to the ground.
If Voldemort had not expressed his position, he would not have been kicked, but would have been hit by the Killing Curse or the Cruciatus Curse.
Not only Bellatrix, but many of the Death Eaters present were quite hostile to his "one seven seven" attitude.
Like Barty Crouch Jr., many of the Death Eaters who were arrested and imprisoned were Voldemort's diehards, and the ones he hated the most were the traitors.
There is no need to say much about the iron traitors like Igor Karkaroff. Lucius Malfoy and Coban Yaxley, who immediately distanced themselves from Voldemort after the incident, were also traitors in their hearts.
In Azkaban for so many years, there were so many prisoners coming and going. These prisoners brought a lot of news from the outside world, and sometimes newspapers appeared in Azkaban. These led to Bellatrix and others having some understanding of the situation in the outside world.
Why do these loyal Death Eaters have to face Dementors every day in Azkaban, while those traitors can maintain their high status and continue to enjoy themselves outside.
This strong contrast makes their hearts more twisted. It can be said that they hate these traitors more than Barty Crouch Jr.
Unless Voldemort accepts them again, once they are out of trouble, these people will be on his kill list.
Just now, this guy was leading the Ministry of Magic to resist his own people stubbornly, and caused considerable damage.Lost, now seeing the master take action, he wants to come over again, how can it be so good.
"Master, master, listen to me, I joined the Ministry of Magic to develop our people in it, so that you can control the Ministry of Magic after your return."
Koban Yaxley, who was kicked, did not dare to resist at all. The moment he got up, he knelt and moved towards Voldemort, and kept making excuses for himself.
He knew that unless Voldemort spoke, these lunatics would tear him apart.
Looking at their eyes, you can tell that even if other members of the Ministry of Magic can survive, they will definitely die.
"How many of our people have you developed, who among them is mine?"
"Just now I didn't see who among them is mine!"
Ethan lowered his head and looked down at Coban Yaxley with Voldemort's hideous face.
"This..."
After being asked this question, Coban Yaxley was a little speechless.
Those were just excuses for him to survive.
As for developing Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic, if Voldemort was still alive, this would be possible.
After Voldemort's death, it was too late to sever ties with him. Only crazy people would develop Death Eaters.
Perhaps, he would be reported as soon as he mentioned this to others.
As for Voldemort's resurrection, he lost two battles in a row. He had other thoughts, so how could he win people over.
"Bella, he will be handed over to you!"
Seeing that Coban Yaxley was speechless, Ethan was not going to pay attention. After giving a word, he walked towards the Ministry of Magic members who were kneeling on the ground.
"Master, Master, wait..."
"Crucio!"
"Ah!"
Not only Bellatrix, many Death Eaters surrounded him, they were reluctant to use the Cruciatus Curse to send Coban Yaxley to hell.
Looking at the approaching Voldemort and Coban Yaxley who was constantly under the Cruciatus Curse, the members of the Ministry of Magic trembled even more.
"Who can tell me, dear Minister Cornelius Fudge, where is he?"
Through Amelia Bones, Ethan knew that Fudge had a residence in the Ministry of Magic and had been living here for some time. Ethan even knew where he was.
But Ethan was not familiar with the Ministry of Magic. Even if he knew the place, it would take some effort to find it.
Faced with the inquiry, many Ministry of Magic personnel looked in one direction. Fudge's address in the Ministry of Magic was not a secret, and many people knew it. But there was a person at the scene who was in constant contact with Fudge and passed information between the two sides. This person also escaped this disaster like them.
Being watched by so many people, including Voldemort, Conrad felt quite stressed for a while, and could only stand up tremblingly and said:
"The wizard mailbox under my feet is in contact with Fudge. II can also take you to Fudge's place."
He knew that being a guide usually didn't lead to good results, but he had no other choice after being pushed out by so many people.
He didn't even call the Minister, but called Fudge's name directly.
"Very good, take me there!"
Ethan was quite satisfied with his answer, and then looked at the members of the Ministry of Magic.
Being looked at like this, they were also nervous, and it was time to welcome their fate.
"Antonin, put away their wands and control them. If we want to control the Ministry of Magic, we are far from enough!"
They can still accept this result, at least they are not facing the Killing Curse or the Cruciatus Curse.
"Yes! "
Antonin Dolohov agreed and immediately took action.
Originally, after the Azkaban incident, there were only about 40 Death Eaters left, and he just lost more than a dozen people. He also knew that he could not do anything big with just these few people, let alone run the Ministry of Magic.
So, even if he had a strong murderous intention in his heart, he could only endure it at this moment.
Just when Ethan was about to go to find Fudge with the guide, Conrad stuttered and said:
"My Lord Dark Lord, Fudge is being tied up by his guards and is on the way. "
It was a while before he could change his identity. He couldn't call out the title of master that the Death Eaters called him.
When he bent down to pick up the wizard mailbox, several messages came from it. These were naturally sent by Fudge's guard Jesse.
Since the last message Conrad sent was that Voldemort had already taken action, the details of the rest had not been sent.
But the other side kept asking about the current situation, but there was no reply. The last sentence was that he had tied up Fudge and was on the way to the front hall.
Conrad didn't dare to hide this result.
"Fudge is being tied up by his guards?"
Ethan's expression was a little strange. Why are there so many people like this in the Ministry of Magic?
"Yes! "
Conrad nodded in response and handed over the wizard mailbox.
Ethan took it and saw that it was true. He didn't know where Fudge recruited guards.
Since Fudge was tied up by his guards, Ethan naturally didn't need to go over.
A little earlier in time, when Ethan was making good progress, Hogwarts also ushered in a little commotion.
Professor McGonagall, who was sleeping, was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
Professor McGonagall, who was wearing pajamas with cat patterns, had no time to change clothes and hurried to open the door. She thought something urgent had happened.
But as soon as she opened the door, she saw that broad, ugly face with loose skin, and her face immediately turned cold. This was definitely one of the people she hated the most.
"If I remember correctly, the time is three o'clock in the morning, and they are here to executeWhat kind of educational order do you have? "
Being quarreled at this time, Professor Umbridge and McGonagall naturally have no good attitude towards her, not to mention that there are many people from the Ministry of Magic standing behind her. They must have bad intentions.
I don't know why Dumbledore is so indulgent to her. Just the things that Umbridge has been doing recently have made Professor McGonagall feel a little resentful towards Dumbledore.
Hogwarts has become like this now..
Look at this Halloween party, it has never been so boring.
"What is the password to the principal's office? "
Umbridge didn't have time to say anything more to Professor McGonagall, so she asked directly.
Before coming here, she went to the principal's office first. There was a lounge dedicated to the principal in the principal's office. Dumbledore lived in it. It was no secret. Unfortunately, without the password, the stone statue could not be opened at all.
Since they were looking for Dumbledore to put out the fire, they didn't dare to use magic to blow up the statue to wake Dumbledore.
Otherwise, if Dumbledore found an excuse to refuse to go, they would be finished.
As a last resort, they could only come to McGonagall, the vice-principal. She must know how to get to the principal's office.
"What do you want to do? "
Professor McGonagall still had a cold face and did not answer Umbridge's plan at all.
They looked like they were coming to Hogwarts to confiscate the property. It was impossible for Professor McGonagall to tell them.
Umbridge took a deep breath and held back the swear words that were about to come out of her mouth. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
"The Ministry of Magic has been attacked by Voldemort and the Death Eaters. We need Dumbledore."
Looking at McGonagall's current look, Umbridge knew that if she didn't explain, she would definitely not tell her the password to the headmaster's office.
Although Umbridge acted silly, she was able to get along well in the Ministry of Magic before the failure, which showed that she was quite shrewd.
"I'll take you there now. "
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and hesitated for two seconds, but decided to take them there.
She couldn't tell whether what Umbridge said was true or not, or whether this was a trap specifically targeting Dumbledore.
But if Voldemort was really attacking the Ministry of Magic, she wouldn't dare delay such a big thing.
As for what would happen, it would be better to leave it to Dumbledore to decide.
Umbridge was relieved to see Professor McGonagall agree.
She knew that McGonagall had a very stubborn temper. If she and she were stuck because of what she had done during this period, then everything would be over.
Without Dumbledore's rescue, Fudge could basically be sentenced to death. Without Fudge, how would these members of the Ministry of Magic who depended on Fudge end up?
These members of the Ministry of Magic who followed Umbridge, many of whom were familiar faces in Fudge's office that day.
Because their interests were directly tied to Fudge, after they were awakened by the house elves, family members, and servants, and saw the message on the wizard's mailbox, they took action immediately.
First, they took the flying broom, then went directly to Hogsmeade Village through the fireplace, and then rode the flying broom to Hogwarts in Hogsmeade.
Since Hogwarts cannot be reached directly by Apparition, they can only use method 2.3. []
Fortunately, this method does not take much time.
After arriving, they naturally found Umbridge as soon as possible.
But Umbridge was still sleeping like a pig at that time. When she was awakened, she opened the door with a bad temper and scolded them. At that time, Umbridge thought it was a prank by a student.
During this period, Umbridge had experienced such things.
It was not until he saw this group of familiar faces that he realized something was wrong.
"Strawberry Jelly!"
As the words fell, the stone statues blocking Umbridge and others immediately separated, revealing a spiral staircase. The group did not dare to delay and immediately stepped forward.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
With the knock on the door, it was not long before Dumbledore, wearing purple pajamas, opened the door of the principal's office and appeared in front of everyone.
As an old man, his sleep was still very light. He woke up as soon as he heard the knock on the door.
There were statues blocking the road outside, and only a few professors could come over, so something must have happened at this moment, and he did not delay.
"Voldemort attacked the new prison in Brentford, rescued the Death Eaters, and is now attacking the Ministry of Magic."
The moment Umbridge saw Dumbledore, he said quickly.
She was not sure whether Dumbledore would go to save Fudge, but she prepared a set of moral blackmail to deal with Dumbledore.
Once the Ministry of Magic fell, it would all be Dumbledore's fault.
"I know, I'll go right away!"
However, Dumbledore did not give Umbridge the opportunity to use moral blackmail at all. .
