Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1091: Holding out new heights
Chapter 1093 has reached new heights
Ministry of Magic, Auror Office.
Scremgeour stood at the door, looking at the empty office, walked towards his seat expressionlessly, pulled out the chair and sat down, and began to read the newspaper in his hand.
To the headline on the front page of today's "Daily Prophet", Scrimgeour gave a simple comment: "Death struggle."
Although Fudge tried his best to clear himself through the "Daily Prophet", he was still no match for the strong evidence presented in other newspapers and newspapers.
Now the voices in the magic world calling for Fudge to step down are getting louder and louder. Scrimgeour is very clear that part of it comes from the targeting of Fudge's political opponents, but Fudge has indeed done a bad job this year, not only making the Ministry of Magic a laughing stock, It also made other wizards lose confidence in him.
Putting down the Daily Prophet, he continued reading the other papers.
Most newspapers have their own focus, one of which focuses on Albert taking on the Ministry of Magic Aurors and portraying him as the next Dumbledore.
"The next Dumbledore?"
Scrumgeour put down the newspaper, looked at the empty Auror office, and fell into a brief silence.
At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside, and someone knocked on the office door.
"Come in," said Scrimgeour.
"Director, St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries has informed us that the professors at Hogwarts have just sent the Aurors to the hospital." The witch secretly observed the expression on Scrimgeour's face, and continued in a low voice: " The Aurors are receiving rehabilitation treatment, everyone is just a little weak, and they will recover in about two days."
"I see."
Scremgeour stood up and walked outside. He was going to visit those hapless **** at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries himself.
As soon as he arrived at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, Scrimgeour was surrounded by reporters waiting in the lobby.
"Director Scrimgeour, everyone is suspicious of the Aurors now..."
Before the reporter asked a question, Scrimgeour raised his hand to interrupt.
"I know what you want to ask!"
Scrimgeour guessed that he might be blocked by reporters, so he had already planned his rhetoric: "An Auror trained by the Ministry of Magic actually lost to a school student?"
"Aurors are human too, but they are well-trained and better at fighting." Scrimgeour signaled everyone to wait for him to finish before asking questions. The best genius wizard. Although I don't want to admit it, I think Mr. Anderson may be the most powerful dueling champion ever."
"If what I mean is not clear enough, let me just say it. Maybe Anderson has not yet reached the height of Dumbledore, and it is only because of his age. Do you understand what I mean?"
Since the Aurors were all defeated by Anderson, the only way to increase the height of the person who defeated them was infinitely. As long as Anderson was strong enough, it would not be a shame to be defeated by him.
Just as Death Eaters are afraid of Dumbledore, what shame is there for Aurors to lose to a wizard as powerful as Dumbledore?
Is this Scrimgeour's flattery?
Not really.
Albert, with countless halos on his head, can fully withstand such flattery.
No, not flattery, but reality.
"Director, do you think Mr. Anderson..."
"I think Anderson's future achievements will definitely be higher than Dumbledore." Scrimgeour interrupted again: "This is predictable, I am not surprised at all, but the Ministry of Magic unfortunately hit , become his stepping stone."
"People always instinctively ignore the countless auras on Anderson's head, and only remember that he is still studying at Hogwarts School, just a child who has just grown up and has not yet graduated." Scrimgeour said calmly: " This is the arrogance of adults, so they have suffered enough. Sometimes admitting this is not a shameful thing. If you don’t want to admit it, that is the most shameful thing."
"Of course, that's not really a duel. Both sides kept their hands. I can only say that it's fortunate that the matter didn't get out of hand." Scrimgeour is starting to build his own image. Minister position.
Partly because of being hit by the harsh reality.
"What do you think about Fudge's matter?"
"I don't have any opinion, the Aurors are just performing tasks according to the order." Scrimgeour raised his hand to stop the reporters from asking questions: "Okay, please step aside, I'm going to visit the hospitalized Aurors."
The reporters looked at each other in blank dismay, but they still moved out of the way. What Scrimgeour said just now was very topical.
Scrimgeour walked to the Department of Spell Injuries on the fifth floor, and the regular beds for Aurors at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries were already filled.
Actually, the spare beds on the fifth floor were filled by Aurors, and the therapists in the Spell Injury Department were not very satisfied with this, as there might be an emergency after all.
"How are they doing?" Scrimgeour asked.
"The situation is not too bad. It's just that I have been hungry for two days and my body is a little weak. I can leave the hospital tomorrow at the latest and go home to recuperate by myself." Mrs. McDougall took the medical record and told Scrimgeour about the Auror. Their situation, "If you want to go in, you can, but you can't stay in it for too long, they need to rest now."
To be honest, when Mrs. McDougall heard that Albert had brought down all the Aurors and hung them on the wall for two days, her mood was extremely complicated, especially after seeing this group of unlucky bastards. This emotion is even stronger.
After Scrimgeour went in, he found that the Aurors were not in a good mood, and bowed their heads in shame when they saw him.
"I know very well that this is not all your fault. No one thought that Umbridge woman would be so stupid, so you don't have to be ashamed of it." Scrimgeour looked at the Auror who bowed his head. They calmly comforted: "I also need to take part of the responsibility."
Scrimgeour took the initiative to take responsibility, which is conducive to winning people's hearts. If he wants to compete for the Minister of Magic, he must do something.
These Aurors are his foundation.
"But one thing, you guys made a big mistake, you shouldn't underestimate your opponents, I know you underestimate Anderson because he is young, but you don't know that you are facing a wizard second only to Dumbledore , I hope this kind of thing will not happen again."
Actually, Scrimgeour didn't take Dumbledore very seriously at first. After all, no matter how powerful a person is, he can't be a match for a group of people. But Albert told him in the cruelest way that the Ministry of Magic Even the most elite Aurors are like that.
…
Late at night, Eve walked expressionlessly in the long-abandoned Muggle village, and finally stopped in front of a half-collapsed house. Entering the dark and dilapidated fireplace, there is actually a secret passage in the fireplace, and at the end is an old wooden door.
Avery raised his hand and tapped on it a few times, a gap opened on the door, a pair of eyes peeped out from the darkness, as if peeking at the outside world, and the wooden door was closed after seeing someone outside. Squeak open.
"You're late!" Lucius said, frowning.
"Sorry, I've been in some trouble recently and wasted a lot of my time." Avery muttered, he looked a little tired, as if he had really encountered some serious trouble.
"Come in, the meeting has already begun."
Lucius Malfoy took a step back, put Avery from the outside inside, and looked outside again before closing the wooden door again.
Inside the door is a spacious hall, a round table is full of people, and everyone is whispering.
"Where is the discussion now?"
Avery found an empty seat and sat down, and asked a casual question.
"Discussing **** that Mudblood!"
"Mudblood?" Avery's eyes were confused, as if wondering if the Death Eaters gathered here to deal with a Mudblood?
"Did you pay attention to the newspapers a while ago?" Lucius Malfoy raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What, newspapers, no, I've been busy recently, so I don't have time to read newspapers, and... what big news can there be in newspapers?" Avery became more confused.
Lucius Malfoy put several newspapers in front of Avery. After reading the headlines on them, the latter couldn't help staring at Malfoy with wide eyes, "So, you want to tell me, this is Really? I think you should be very aware of how watery newspaper news is."
"Maybe there's water, but most of what's inside is true. That Mudblood indeed defeated dozens of Aurors." Lucius Malfoy said this with a particularly gloomy face, and he remembered I also tried to murder that mudblood named Anderson a while ago. "Of course, the Aurors just wanted to catch him, so they didn't use any dangerous magic."
"It's ridiculous, you actually believe it?"
In Bella's opinion, Scrimgeour's bragging words are just trying to find a way for those useless Aurors. How could that Mudblood be of Dumbledore's level.
Perhaps, that Mudblood does have some abilities, but he is completely vulnerable to black magic, a matter that Avada Kedavra can solve.
"It is very difficult to get rid of him head-on. It is said that the other party's spells are very fast, and they use all silent spells. All the Aurors who hit him directly are caught off guard." Lucius Malfoy said what his son gave him Intelligence, looking around at everyone with a gloomy face, continued: "His spells are also very strange. Two Slytherin students suffered fractures from just being hit by the Obstructing Curse. They are still in the St. It is almost impossible to defeat him in a normal way."
There were some things that Lucius Malfoy didn't dare to say. He suspected that even if the Dark Lord took action himself, he might not be able to kill him smoothly.
The rise of Albert made all the pure-blood wizards here feel threatened.
"Can we use other methods?" Antonin Dolokhov suggested: "Start with friends around him, just like how we dealt with Potter."
"The probability is not high. It is said that the Mudblood can predict the future, maybe he will be aware of what we plan to do." Avery reminded, "If it can't be kept secret enough, the plan may be difficult to succeed."
"We'll try again after we're done with this matter!" Malfoy interrupted the conversation. They didn't gather here to discuss how to deal with the Mudblood.
"Now that the Ministry of Magic is in turmoil, the Dark Lord thinks the time has come, and the specific time is this Friday."
Lucius Malfoy brought the topic back again. They gathered here to help the Dark Lord capture the prophecy ball and catch the famous Harry Potter, and all the wizards sitting here will participate in this battle conspiracy.
"Actually, I have always had a doubt." Avery said suddenly.
"What doubts?"
Everyone looked at Avery in unison.
"The main goal of this mission is to predict the ball, right?" Avery asked.
"Yes," said Malfoy.
"Then why doesn't the Dark Lord go get it himself?"
"He's going to get it himself?" Bellatrix laughed maniacally, glared at Avery and said, "You idiot, people completely ignore the return of the Dark Lord, why is he here?" Time to walk into the Ministry of Magic and expose yourself to the Aurors?"
Avery didn't pay attention to Bella's words, but looked at Lucius, and continued: "The Dark Lord has been planning for so long, just to get the prophecy ball, and to confirm the contents of the prophecy ball, which is more important than all tasks , right?"
"What do you want to say?" Lucius asked, frowning.
"Why didn't the Dark Lord go to the Department of Mysteries to get the Prophecy Orb by himself, and then just leave, it didn't take a few minutes at all." Avery reminded: "Surely no one knows that the Dark Lord took the Prophecy Orb, Even if you are worried that others will find out that the prophecy ball is missing, you can destroy some of the nearby prophecy **** as a cover, and no one will know that a prophecy ball has been lost."
"If you lure Harry Potter to steal the prophecy ball, and then let us get it back, it will undoubtedly be superfluous." Avery ignored the gazes of other people around him, and continued, "There are more processes in the whole plan, That means that a mistake in any link may lead to the failure of the entire plan."
"You're scared."
"I just don't want the plan to fail again, I've had enough of Cruciatus," Avery muttered.
"The plan cannot fail." Lucius Malfoy glared at Avery and said in an affirmative tone.
"I don't think the members of the Order of the Phoenix will be indifferent to Harry Potter rushing to the Ministry of Magic. To be honest, this is not really a pleasant thing, because we may also need to face reinforcements from Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic Aurors."
Without a doubt, Avery points to the biggest problem with the whole thing, which is instability.
Harry Potter itself is an uncertain variable, let alone handing the prophecy ball to Potter, God knows what will happen.
"You're right, Avery."
Lucius Malfoy was silent for a moment, then nodded in acknowledgment.
"But there is one thing that you haven't considered, just like what Bella said just now, the Dark Lord doesn't want to expose himself too early, it will unite the entire magic world and it will not help us control the Ministry of Magic, I miss you We should not forget the last experience, we are not as strong as that time now, so it is necessary to hide ourselves well, especially since we can still use Fudge to attack Dumbledore."
"Inducing Harry Potter to do this, we can not only get the crystal ball, but also use it to capture Harry Potter and bring him to the Dark Lord, even if we can't catch it Potter, that was Harry Potter breaking into the Ministry of Magic to steal the prophecy ball. I believe Fudge would be happy to make trouble for him. Then Potter will lose his asylum. Compared with other methods, I think the Ministry of Magic should be used. Deal with him."
Lucius knew that some words were untenable, but there were some things he didn't dare to say, that is, the whole thing was actually the Dark Lord's punishment for causing the diary to be destroyed. If you get away with it, you will be punished more severely if you fail.
The Dark Lord has cornered him ~IndoMTL.com~ and will not allow him to fail.
The most important thing is that the success probability of the whole plan is not low. As long as you get the prophecy ball and leave the Ministry of Magic, there will be no other problems at all.
Avery took a deep look at Lucius and said nothing.
Of course, Lucius didn’t say something, that is, since Harry Potter unexpectedly escaped from Voldemort last year, many people are doubting the prophecy, thinking that Harry Potter is the one who defeats the Dark Lord .
This is actually the reason why Voldemort made up his mind to hear all the contents of the prophecy. Voldemort believed that he could find a way to get rid of Harry Potter in the prophecy.
After the meeting started, Lucius Malfoy began to talk about his entire planning process, and accepted inquiries from others, so as to improve the plan, formulate more countermeasures, and avoid mistakes during the period, just like Avery Having said that, the longer the process, the more prone to problems.
As for convincing the Dark Lord, Lucius never thought he could do it, let alone be foolish enough to try, and if the Dark Lord needs to do everything himself, what else do they need?
