The border between Somerset and Devon welcomed a new group of guests for a long time. Albert's wedding was held at a manor deep in Exmoor National Park on the border of the two counties.
At this moment, it's approaching eleven o'clock.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan were standing outside the manor waiting for the guests who had arrived for the wedding. A white tent had been set up in the courtyard of the manor, and soothing and soft music was playing inside.
If you sit down and observe carefully, you will find that the wedding guests here are more or less a bit weird.
No, it should be said that this wedding itself is weird.
Even the soothing music could not alleviate the tension in the air, giving people the impression that this group of people did not look like they were attending a wedding.
That's right, they are indeed not here to attend the wedding.
From the trio who greeted the guests at the door, to the waiters who served the food, to the guests attending the wedding, and even the couple who were about to get married, they were all Aurors from the Ministry of Magic in disguise.
This is really strange.
Once a Death Eater breaks into a wedding venue, something interesting will definitely happen.
It is worth mentioning that the food at the wedding banquet was really good, even quite delicious. It was a pity that only drinks were provided at the banquet, probably to prevent Aurors from getting drunk and causing trouble.
Of course, even if no Death Eaters came to cause trouble afterwards, it would still be a wonderful experience for the Aurors who came to attend this magical wedding.
"Do you think the Death Eaters will really come?" Gadwin was still a little confused.
There is no way, who made what happened today, it is too magical, the Ministry of Magic has never used this method to combat Death Eaters.
"Yes. Don't forget, Anderson is a master of prophecy. Since he dares to do that, he has his reasons." Scrimgeour's tone was very calm. In order to prevent Aurors from leaking this secret, all the wizards who came here to attend the banquet were
Working together in twos and threes, even if a strange person sneaks into the Aurors, I believe they won't have enough time to report the situation.
"Although I don't know much about prophecies, as far as I know not all predictions made by the prophecy masters come true."
At this moment, Gadvin was pretending to be an invited guest, slowly enjoying the Italian food in front of him.
"The food here is really good, but what about the expenses? Is it too extravagant?"
"Anderson provided it for free." Scrimgeour, who was also enjoying the food on the plate, said in a neutral tone: "If someone hadn't tried to cause trouble at Anderson's wedding and made him crazy, do you think we would have
Such an opportunity?"
"It seems that we are quite lucky."
Italian food is obviously much more delicious than British food. If they hadn't known that there might be a battle next, the Aurors would have feasted on these exotic delicacies.
"Do we have any reinforcements?"
Kingsley brought the juice to Scrimgeour, touched the glass with him, took a sip and asked.
"Yes, there is a crisis response team, but they don't know the situation here. I only told them that after finding the giant, I will immediately notify them to encircle and suppress the giant."
Scrimgeour made no secret of the fact that Kingsley's role was the most dangerous.
After all, the mysterious man wanted to kill him, and Death Eaters and other incoming enemies were no exception.
In fact, if Kingsley was not Dumbledore's man, he would be more suitable than Gadwin to take over the position of Director of the Auror Office.
"Having said that, that guy is really not easy to mess with." Kingsley looked around at the Aurors who were chatting in low voices, and couldn't help but sigh, "He didn't even do anything himself, but he arranged for the group of guys who were causing trouble for him.
It must be clear that he even asked someone to avenge his revenge."
"Yes, everyone is willing to help him." Scrimgeour was actually curious. Dumbledore didn't win over the other party, or did he fail to win over?
"Have you noticed the identities of the invited guests?" Gadwin interrupted.
"guest?"
The two began to look around and observe the identities of the guests.
In fact, if he hadn't happened to know a few of them, Gadwin wouldn't have noticed this.
"Except for Albert's relatives, friends and school teachers, the other guests are all well-known wizards in the UK and even abroad, and they are also respected guys in various fields."
After finishing speaking, Gadwin pointed to the two potion masters chatting in the corner. One of them was Damocles Belby, the inventor of Wolfsbane potion.
Many members of the Wizengamot also came, at least many of whom Gadwin could recognize by name.
Probably only Dumbledore could have such a wide network of contacts, and because it would not hinder the subsequent battle, all the people who came were middle-aged.
"I plan to formally establish a crisis response team." Scrimgeour put down his knife and fork and changed the subject. "Ask Moody for me and ask him if he is willing to come back and serve as an instructor for everyone. You can be the director."
Kingsley was surprised at Scrimgeour's solicitation.
Even Gadwin was surprised by Scrimgeour's actions.
"There is no need to show that expression. If you want to win this war, you always need to pay something." Scrimgeour said, "Everyone needs the ability to protect themselves. Strengthening the combat effectiveness of the Ministry of Magic is undoubtedly a very important thing.
Many wizards have really poor defense against the dark arts."
"Also, you'd better tell Dumbledore to hurry up. I believe he will definitely have a way to deal with the mysterious man." Scrimgeour said: "If that doesn't work, just try the stone door in the Death Hall of the Department of Mysteries. I
I think that thing can definitely solve the mysterious man."
Although he deliberately lowered his voice, it was not very low. He obviously intended to let the surrounding Aurors hear him and make them have confidence in him.
This is important.
If the magic world completely loses confidence in him, then death is really not far away.
It is also important to win over the Order of the Phoenix, especially Dumbledore.
In Albert's words: Don't try to talk politics with You-Know-Who. It's useless. When all the Aurors combined can't beat You-Know-Who, you have to find someone who can beat You-Know-Who.
Otherwise, as long as the time is right, the mysterious man will choose the right time to kill you, just like Bones. Don't be unconvinced, who makes you unable to defeat the opponent?
If you can't beat him and you don't hide obediently, then don't blame others if you die.
The way Albert pointed out to Scrimgeour was to strike hard at the Death Eaters.
As long as the mysterious man's minions are chopped off, the other party will not dare to be too active. He cannot fight against the entire Ministry of Magic alone. Scrimgeour's life safety can be guaranteed, and he can gain a high reputation in the Ministry of Magic and secure his position.
The position of the Minister of Magic."
It is also important to win over Dumbledore. He knows the mysterious man better than anyone else and has been studying how to kill him. He will definitely have a way to deal with the mysterious man, and they need to wait patiently for that time to come and wait for Harry Potter.
Now that I have grown up, I am not called the savior for nothing.
"Of course, Albert also nakedly hinted to him that Azkaban Prison could not hold prisoners. As long as Voldemort was not dead, he could rob the prison at any time and release the prisoners, and then all the sacrifices would be in vain.
"
"Looks like he's really angry," Scrimgeour muttered.
"What?"
"Nothing." Scrimgeour would not share this information with others, and Anderson did not let him do so. This was a deal reached by both parties.
To be honest, since Albert leaked the secret, Scrimgeour has become more palatable to him. Although they are using each other, this kind of thing is actually normal in the Ministry of Magic. As long as everyone can benefit, it is better than anything else.
Be reliable.
…
On the other side, a few miles away from the manor, Lucius Malfoy managed to recruit a large group of helpers and prepared to take action.
Although Malfoy was not very popular with the Dark Lord, the contacts he accumulated during the last Wizarding War were still there, and the Dark Lord's emphasis on killing the Mudblood made many Death Eaters willing to join.
Not only Death Eaters, but also dark wizards, dementors, werewolves, and even some giants who have taken refuge here.
Lucius Malfoy went to great lengths to kill Albert Anderson.
"Albert Anderson's Mudblood is a big problem. He is a master of prophecy. I dare say he must have expected us to appear. We will probably fall into a trap next, but if there are enough of us, we will
Don't be afraid of traps. Even if there is a trap in front of you, just run over it." Malfoy stood there and made his speech.
"As for why we wanted to kill him."
"Because the Dark Lord wants him dead."
"Because once the Mudblood cooperates with the Ministry of Magic, none of us can escape. Real diviners are very good at finding people. As long as the Mudblood is willing, we can't even hide."
"Because that is a character like Dumbledore. We must nip the danger in the cradle. I think everyone does not want a character like a young Dumbledore to appear again in a few years. There is a Dumbledore.
It's enough for us, do you want another one?" Lucius Malfoy said loudly to everyone: "Now, I will give you another reason to kill Albert Anderson, and the reward will be ten thousand Galleons.
In the name of the Malfoy family, I promise to go out now and kill that mudblood."
There is no doubt that the last reason is more convincing, and Lucius Malfoy also knows what others want.
loyalty?
This is absolutely the most ridiculous.
Even Death Eaters don't have much loyalty to the Dark Lord. All they need is to satisfy their own selfish desires in the name of Voldemort.
The Malfoy family is naturally no exception.
Ten thousand Galleons obviously did not complete the task. It is important to regain the Dark Lord's weapon. Since the last Wizarding War, Lucius Malfoy has enjoyed the benefits of becoming the Dark Lord's right-hand man. As for the ten thousand Galleons scattered, it is very important.
You can get it back soon through other means.
With a roar, this huge team began to move towards the manor. The Death Eaters needed to deploy a large-scale disapparition magic first to prevent the mudblood from using Apparition to escape.
Of course, Lucius Malfoy was fully prepared. The Death Eaters had already done something similar the last time they went to deal with Bones.
The protective magic that was originally placed around the manor was easily broken through by the Death Eaters. With the combined efforts of many dark wizards, the entire manor was covered by magic that prohibited apparation. This was still
The result of special training to kill Bones.
In fact, it was completely unnecessary for the Death Eaters to do that, because the entire manor was also under a magic ban on Apparition.
When the Death Eaters appeared within a mile of the manor, the detector originally placed on the table suddenly sounded an alarm.
The Aurors all cast surprised glances in the direction of the sound, and soon realized that the enemy had arrived.
"Take Felixir and be prepared. Our prey has arrived." Scrimgeour stepped forward to stabilize the situation and shouted to the Auror, "Don't hold back."
At this moment, everyone heard something break, and then a sharp alarm sounded throughout the manor.
After taking the elixir, the Aurors all became extremely calm. After exchanging glances, they all pulled out their wands, because a large group of dementors had appeared in everyone's sight.
"When will reinforcements arrive?" Gadwin asked Scrimgeour.
"I have already sent out the message that the crisis response team will arrive within half an hour." Scrimgeour said calmly. He actually did not expect the crisis response team. He said that just to give everyone sufficient confidence.
"They are really generous!"
Kingsley grunted and pulled out his wand. He found that the enemy wanted to kill Albert more than expected. Not only were the Death Eaters coming, but there were also a large number of dark wizards, giants and werewolves. By the way, the leading werewolf was
Fenrir Greyback.
An old friend of Lucius Malfoy.
Just when the Aurors were about to cast a spell to expel the Dementors, a group of black figures wearing cloaks and masks rushed directly into the tent like cannonballs, shouting at everyone: "Put down your wands and kill that muddy Albert Anderson."
Hand over the seeds and you will leave here safe and sound."
However, what greeted the man was the sharp and cold scrutiny of the Aurors.
The atmosphere at the scene was very strange.
Before the other party could react, several spells hit the arrogant Death Eater, knocking him away and falling heavily to the ground, unable to get up again.
"It's up to you!"
Scrimgeour, disguised as a guest, raised his wand and sneered at the Death Eater who was so arrogant just now but now looked like a dead dog.
"Kill them."
The dark wizards who were the first to rush into the manor were all unlucky and were knocked to the ground by the Aurors.
Because Scrimgeour had mentioned before that there was no need to be merciful, the Aurors were particularly ruthless now. In the blink of an eye, several of those at the front fell down.
The wizard who mastered the Patronus Charm directly summoned the Patronus to drive away the group of dementors hovering over the manor.
Other Aurors also used the Felixir to show extraordinary abilities.
After a brief battle, most of the first batch of dark wizards who rushed into the manor had fallen, and Lucius Malfoy, who fell behind, was stunned. Although Malfoy had guessed that there might be a trap, this time
...Fortunately, he found a lot of helpers, otherwise he might have really messed up.
