The early morning sun was still rising from the sky, and the people who woke up from their sleep had no idea of the series of major events that happened last night. They were enjoying breakfast as usual while flipping through the "Daily Prophet" delivered by the owl postman.
Unprepared for breaking news:
Scrimgeour resigns as Minister for Magic.
This news, which was enough to shock countless people, suddenly appeared on the headlines of the Daily Prophet.
No one knows why Scrimgeour resigned, but it's definitely not normal.
While the entire wizarding world was still confused, the news that Piers Thicknesse had taken over as the new minister spread quickly.
People gradually realized what happened, but no one dared to come forward.
This coup was almost silent and caused no waves.
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Voldemort did not announce his usurpation of the throne, but hid behind the scenes to control the Ministry of Magic.
This is a very wise approach.
Even if Voldemort is not sitting in the minister's office, everyone agrees that he is the new minister of magic. As for Thicknesse, he is just a puppet used to handle daily affairs.
Another advantage of doing this is that it will not easily lead to open resistance from the entire British magical community, let alone lead to international disputes.
Of course, after Voldemort took control of the Ministry of Magic, he not only pushed the puppet to take over, but also extended his hand to Hogwarts. Regarding Snape being appointed as the principal of Hogwarts, it was only one step away.
formal document.
As for who killed Dumbledore, the blame was of course placed on the famous Harry Potter. As the number one bad guy, his bounty was as high as 10,000 gold galleons.
Of course, Harry is not alone. He is not the only one who has received a bounty. Albert has also received a bounty. Moreover, the bounty is as high as 20,000 gold galleons, which is beyond the reach of even the famous savior.
Those who died tragically in the burrow were all blamed on Albert. Notorious and murderous words cannot describe Albert's brutality.
However, the guests who attended Bill's wedding all knew what happened, but no one dared to stand up and speak out for Albert.
On issues that mattered to their own life and death, they backed down.
However, the person involved did not think there was any problem with this. Instead, he looked at the wanted list sandwiched in the newspaper with great interest.
"So, he gave me the title of murderer, and the reward was only 20,000. This is too stingy!"
Albert, who was drinking afternoon tea, picked up the wanted list on the table and couldn't help but complain: "What was the reward for the mysterious man back then?"
"I remember that the highest in the past was 10,000, and your 20,000 must have broken the record." Lee Jordan couldn't help but joked, "Why, you still want to go to the Ministry of Magic to surrender yourself and claim the Galleons for your reward.
Already?"
"That's a good idea." Albert curled his lips and said, "If they are willing to pay, I wouldn't mind dying once."
"Death once?"
Qiu Zhang, who was sitting next to Cedric, cast a doubtful look.
"Use the compound potion." Shanna said without thinking, "Disguise someone else as Albert, and directly pretend to be someone else to collect the reward."
"The compound medicine has been used for a long time, and it will be exposed after it expires."
"The biggest problem is that the British Ministry of Magic will not give this Galleons." Albert shrugged. "Otherwise, he can give up his moral integrity and claim his bounty by himself. How can I say 20,000?
Galleons are a lot of money."
"You're not short of money."
Everyone rolled their eyes at Albert. Although they didn't know what Albert planned to do, there must be something he could do.
"Who says I'm not short of money?" Albert placed the tea cup under his reward order. "It takes Galleons to maintain the normal operation of this place. Do you naively think that the things you use appear out of thin air?
?”
Everyone suddenly fell silent.
None of them can be of much help in this matter.
There is no way, they are all a bunch of poor people who just graduated.
"It seems that we will have more work to do in the future." Li Jordan suddenly said.
"What job?"
"Robbing dark wizards." Lee Jordan said matter-of-factly. "If we encounter them in the future, I will not only take away their wands, but also empty their pockets."
A group of people actually discussed this matter seriously.
There is no way, who makes them have no money?
But it doesn't matter, they don't have it themselves, the enemy must have it.
The originally serious atmosphere suddenly turned weird.
"However, what they are doing now is too blatant. Everyone must know that the mysterious man controls the Ministry of Magic." Angelina said doubtfully, "I think few people are fools, especially from the "Prophet Newspaper"
I saw the new changes in the Ministry of Magic, even Harry Potter was put on a bounty, and there were so many Aurors who witnessed Scrimgeour’s death.”
"Many people will actively hypnotize themselves and are unwilling to believe these so-called truths." Truman, who once worked at the Ministry of Magic, has more say than most people here. "As long as their lives and property are not threatened, most employees of the Ministry of Magic are actually
I don’t care who I work for, since everyone is just working for the Ministry of Magic anyway, it doesn’t matter who is the Minister.”
"As for the Aurors, it's obviously impossible to expect them to risk their lives to tell the truth. You can't expect everyone to have the courage to stand up against the mysterious man like Kingsley."
"It's unbelievable. Many people must have experienced the last wizard war. How could they think that the mysterious man..." Qiu Zhang really couldn't understand.
"It's because many people have experienced the Wizarding War, so they all know how to work as facilitators to protect themselves and their families." Kenneth said sinisterly: "Anyway, isn't there still Harry Potter as the savior?
?”
As Kenneth Toller, who has been in the gray area, he knows these things better than most people.
In fact, if Albert hadn't shown extraordinary strength, plus he was really good to his friends and was a worthy investment, Kenneth wouldn't even be sitting here, but would start thinking of various ways to make money for himself.
.
"Then what should we do now?" Shanna asked sideways.
"Nothing else to do, wait patiently, the Ministry of Magic will soon issue some unfriendly regulations." Albert suddenly asked Lee Jordan: "By the way, how is the situation of Mr. and Mrs. Weasley?"
"It's not good. They were tortured by the Cruciatus Curse and were very weak. Now they can't go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries for treatment. In the end, Professor McGonagall asked Madam Pomfrey to help with treatment." Lee Jordan tentatively said.
Asked: "How about you go and show it to them? I remember that you also have research in the field of treatment."
"Forget it, I can only be considered average in treatment." Albert shook his head.
"The potion you gave me last time to slow down the Cruciatus Curse was very effective." Cedric reminded, thinking that the Weasleys might also need that potion.
"I remember there should be another bottle in the medicine cabinet here. Fred and George must have taken it when they left."
"I think they may have been too anxious and forgot about it," Lee Jordan suddenly said.
"Then let Dobby take it to them. I remember that the effect of that thing should only be considered average." Albert looked at Cedric. He who had used potions before obviously had more say.
"It works quite well," Cedric said.
After asking Dobby to deliver medicine to the Weasley twins, Albert mentioned another reason for coming here today.
"I plan to hold a defense association meeting this weekend to discuss recent events." Albert turned to Lee Jordan and said, "Also, I need our radio station to report recent events."
"everything?"
"In all things, people have the right to know the truth, the unforgivable crimes committed by the mysterious man and his minions, and the news of the rescue of the Weasleys and others." Albert thought for a while and continued.
, "We also have to remind Muggle wizards to be alert to changes in the situation. I believe it won't be long before the Ministry of Magic starts persecuting Muggle wizards. We must warn them in advance to avoid being caught off guard."
"Well, in the end we need to open a new branch for other underage wizards to stay temporarily."
"Isn't it possible here?"
Cedric didn't understand why Albert went to all the trouble to do that.
"No, there are traces of underage wizards on their bodies, and I don't want them to be exposed here." Albert tapped the table with his fingers, "We need to transform a safe house suitable for living to accommodate them. This can not only divert the death-eating
This will attract the attention of the gangsters and make them think that is our headquarters, and this requires everyone’s help.”
