Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 748 Celebration Banquet
"what?"

The wizards, including Fudge, all looked at Anduin in astonishment, as if they couldn't believe it.

"I mean..." Anduin reiterated at this time, "Voldemort has taken the initiative to end his own life, and now I can no longer sense his existence in my soul-absorbing orb."

"Is this true?" Fudge looked at Anduin blankly, and then turned his head to look at each other with his colleagues around him. Up to now, he still couldn't be sure.

"Anduin, can you show me the soul-destroying pearl?"

Dumbledore on the side was also shocked by the sudden change, and quickly waved to Anduin.

"No problem!" Anduin nodded indifferently, and then used the levitating spell to send the orb to Dumbledore.

As a result, after the soul-absorbing orb, Dumbledore checked it carefully, inside and out, and then nodded with the same certainty, "Yes, Voldemort's soul has indeed dissipated, although he can still be detected There are no traces of it, but at this time it is completely gone, it should be Voldemort who committed suicide."

After reaching this conclusion, even Dumbledore couldn't believe it. You must know that he has always believed that only Harry can finally defeat Voldemort.

Who ever thought that the other party could not help tormenting so much, and was scolded to death?
"Should? Are you really sure? He didn't escape from it, did he?" Fudge looked at Dumbledore nervously. He couldn't bear the consequences of letting Voldemort go. If that happened, his safety might even be affected. will be threatened.

"This is just a more rigorous statement." Dumbledore smiled wryly and shook his head, "Voldemort was not able to break through the protection of the Dementor Orb just now, I believe many people can be sure of this, and his soul has indeed disappeared without a trace, then Only the conclusion of suicide is the most reasonable, compared to if he has the means to escape from it, then there is no need to wait until now, isn't it?"

"Voldemort killed himself? Is he really dead? The Dark Lord is really dead!"

After repeating and confirming these conclusions repeatedly in Fudge's muttering, his expression gradually changed from confusion and suspicion to joy, and finally to ecstasy!

"Voldemort! He, the evil Dark Lord, has now ushered in his own doomsday, and justice has finally triumphed over evil!" Fudge cheered ecstatically towards the crowd, constantly venting his joy to everyone.

"Is he really dead? He's really dead! Voldemort is really dead this time!"

"Long live! Long live the Ministry of Magic! Long live Minister Fudge! Long live Mr. Wilson!"

"Thank God! We are finally free from this nightmare! Justice will prevail!"

These onlookers were also stunned for a while, and gradually fell into ecstasy. At the same time, they continued to cheer and revel, and some even set off fireworks indoors. They were celebrating this great event in their own ways.

Suddenly, the courtroom fell into chaos again. Of course, this time the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic and Fudge did not stop the crowd, because they were also cheering.

However, among these people, some individuals remained calm, especially Anduin and Dumbledore.

Dumbledore has not been able to accept such a result until now, so Voldemort died like this?This is too childish.

Anduin also had doubts about the disappearance of Voldemort's soul, because the other party's death was indeed very sudden.

At the same time, in his cognition, it is not that there is no technology that can keep alive after dissipating the soul, such as the "Runive Snake" in the Silver Spear Club, even if the soul of the clone is killed, the soul of the main body Nor will it die.

But does Voldemort have such means?Or does he have similar means?
Anduin had reservations about this, but he wasn't willing to believe that Voldemort died so easily.

But at the same time, he was not particularly worried about this matter, because such a method must mean a very high price, and no one can be safe and sound after killing part of his soul.

Of course, even if the opponent really recovered to a full body state, Anduin was not afraid at all. After this confrontation with the opponent, he already had a basic judgment on Voldemort's strength.

Even if Voldemort is really not dead, it's just to catch him one more time.

Thinking of this, Anduin withdrew his thoughts, and then winked at Fudge. To him, whether Voldemort was alive or not was just a trivial matter, and now he was most concerned about his own business.

After receiving Anduin's signal, Fudge nodded happily like a newly married daughter-in-law. Today is really wonderful for him.

"Everyone! Please calm down!" Fudge didn't yell for silence at this moment, but raised his hand and greeted everyone loudly a few times, and the scene gradually returned to calm.

"I can understand everyone's happy mood. After all, even I am not surprised, but this is the Ministry of Magic's trial room after all, and it is still in the public trial at this time, so please allow me to complete this trial first, and then everyone can Go back and share your joy with your family and friends."

Fudge's behavior was unusually decent at this time. After the previous public trial, he became more and more comfortable in dealing with similar situations.

It was natural for everyone to hear the words, so they all suppressed the surging excitement in their hearts and looked at Fudge intently.

"As for today's public trial, I would like to say...we have achieved a remarkable achievement. Not only was it confirmed on the spot that Voldemort was brought to justice, but the other party even chose to commit suicide under the humiliation of everyone!"

Fudge couldn't help making a joke when he said this, which caused everyone to laugh happily.

"At the same time, we also arrested five Death Eaters who tried to rescue Voldemort at the scene. Although they temporarily escaped sanctions and hid among us, the justice trial will still come. The public trial for them will take place in a period of time." It will be held later, if you want to watch it, please pay attention to relevant news in the media."

Fudge finished speaking in a cadence, and then his tone gradually turned low.

"In addition, in this trial, we also re-realized a truth that has been buried for a long time, that is, the mystery of the death of the Potters. Sirius Black, who was originally thought to be the secret keeper, turned out to be innocent, and the real betrayer turned out It's Pettigrew!"

"Next, the Ministry of Magic will overturn the previous trial of Sirius Black after confirmation, 'officially' release him and restore his honor, and issue a reward order for Peter Pettigrew!"

When Fudge said the word 'official', he couldn't help emphasizing his tone, because he knew that the other party had actually been released a long time ago, and now he was just making the matter official.

The wizards onlookers also nodded frequently in satisfaction with Fudge's decision, obviously they all accepted this decision very much.

"Finally!" said Fudge, his eyes gradually turned to Anduin, "This time, the demon king Voldemort was successfully arrested, thanks to the efforts of the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic and the strong support of Mr. Wilson of the Silver Flash Firm! "

"For this reason, I have decided to award medals of honor to all members of the Department of Law Enforcement and the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, including those heroes who have fought against the Death Eaters. Wizarding families who have sacrificed in the Wizarding War will also receive Medals and tributes from the Ministry of Magic."

"Next, the Ministry of Magic will purchase prizes from Silver Flash Trading Company and distribute them to their owners in the shortest possible time."

With a big wave of his hand, Fudge casually promised this huge benefit. Of course, this matter was confirmed with all the directors and Anduin before.

On the one hand, it is because the Ministry of Magic is really well-off now and can afford this expense. On the other hand, it can be regarded as a reward for Anduin. After all, they all know that Voldemort was taken down by Anduin alone. .

Of course, when conducting internal transactions beforehand, Anduin also offered to offer a discount to the Ministry of Magic. You must know that this is a large order worth tens of thousands of Galleons, and even after the discount, the profit is quite high.

At the same time, doing such a good deed will not only win a good reputation for the Ministry of Magic, but also give Silver Flash Trading Company a free advertisement.

When the onlookers heard the news, they gave their applause almost unanimously, and they couldn't help but feel Fudge's generosity in their hearts.

The Ministry of Magic is simply a humanitarian brilliance!

But the happiest thing here is the employees who belong to the two major companies. They find that they seem to have done nothing, and an honor and reward will fall from the sky, which is simply inexplicable.

"At the same time..." Fudge raised his hand and pressed the button, calming the restless crowd before continuing, "For the biggest hero in this arrest operation - Mr. Wilson! The Ministry of Magic will give him a special commendation."

"Since Mr. Wilson already has the 'Order of Merlin, First Class', the Ministry of Magic has decided to award him a Gold Medal of Courage and the officially recognized title of 'Fearless Pioneer' in recognition of his service during the war and this The fearless spirit in this incident!"

This title of 'Fearless Pioneer' was a temporary thought of by everyone gathered together in the past two days. In fact, Fudge wanted to use the title of 'Sin Buster' at first, but Anduin felt that it was too rustic, so he did not agree. This was decided because of time constraints.

And after Fudge's reminder, everyone recalled that Anduin seemed to be a 'battle hero' officially recognized by the Ministry of Magic before!The other party was only ten years old at the time.

Now that there is another title of 'Fearless Pioneer', Anduin immediately becomes the brightest star in the eyes of the crowd. He is simply the pride of the British wizarding world!

"in addition……"

Fudge has not finished his speech at this time, or what he wants to say now is the main content of holding this public trial.

"Tomorrow in Diagon Alley is the opening ceremony of the 'Magic Communication Network' jointly constructed by the Ministry of Magic and Silver Flash Trading Company. In order to celebrate Voldemort's arrest and his final 'annihilation', the Ministry of Magic decided to hold the opening ceremony. Hold a grand celebration banquet!"

"Everyone here is the witness of this trial, and they are also the heroes who jointly 'eliminated' Voldemort. Therefore, I formally extend an invitation to everyone to participate in this celebration banquet and witness the future together!"

The reason why Fudge invited so many people to participate in this public trial was to prepare for tomorrow's opening ceremony.

It's just that he didn't expect that a trial against Voldemort would eventually turn into a public execution. The Dark Lord actually committed suicide on the spot, but he still didn't forget the highlight of tomorrow.

"And the celebration banquet?"

"Great! Long live the Ministry of Magic, long live the Silver Flash Firm!"

After people heard the good news, they didn't think about why Fudge was able to temporarily decide to turn tomorrow's opening ceremony into a celebration banquet, nor wondered whether they could organize it so quickly. Anyway, a banquet is always a great joy.

At this time, Anduin in the center of the venue also smiled and said loudly, "Everyone, in addition to the opening ceremony and celebration banquet tomorrow, I will also prepare a mysterious gift for everyone on behalf of Silver Flash Business."

Everyone was even more ecstatic when they heard the news. They didn't expect that they would gain so much by participating in a temporary public trial today. They secretly decided in their hearts that they would cancel all the arrangements for tomorrow and go to Diagon Alley to attend the celebration banquet!
And this sudden interim public trial came to an end in such an atmosphere of universal celebration.

As for Voldemort who chose to commit suicide on the spot?

Of course he didn't die so easily.

At this time, in the distant Malfoy Manor, Voldemort's consciousness gradually awakened in a notebook, and with his awakening, there was also an endless pain that almost penetrated his soul.

"what!!!"

In the notebook, Voldemort's soul hugged his head and howled in pain, "Why does it hurt so much? How could my soul return to the original Horcrux?"

After struggling for a long time, the pain subsided slowly, or it didn't subside completely. After all, it was the pain of tearing the soul, and Voldemort just gradually got used to the feeling of pain.

And when his consciousness slowly condensed, Voldemort discovered to his horror that not only was he extremely weak now, but even his memory was slightly confused and lost.

After some serious and careful sorting, Voldemort gradually recalled some memory fragments that happened before, in which Anduin, Dumbledore, Fudge, and the Ministry of Magic appeared.

But more content has gradually become blurred, and even as long as you recall in that direction, you will feel endless pain like touching a wound.

"So what is it that forced me to commit suicide to escape? Judging from the scene in my memory, it should be related to Anduin and Dumbledore."

Voldemort is very aware of the consequences of doing so, the self-destruction of the main body soul, although the consciousness will be transferred to other Horcruxes for resurrection, but it will also cause him serious injuries, so unless it is a last resort, he will not escape through this method .

But now, due to the severe damage to his soul, Voldemort can't even remember why he committed suicide before. He only knows that the strong unwillingness and humiliation still remain in his memory when his soul is transferred.

"It seems that I have to cultivate for a period of time before I can get back that part of the lost memory. Damn it! No matter who drove me to this point, I will never let him go!"

After swearing secretly in his heart, Voldemort slowly closed his senses, let his consciousness gradually sink, and the notebook returned to calm again.
