Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

Chapter 328 326. Good news about Voldemort

Inside an old house on the outskirts of Newport, Wales.

Voldemort's current mood can be described as terrible.

The planned resurrection ceremony was ruined, and Potter, who planned to execute him as a sacrifice in front of all his Death Eater subordinates, not only failed to succeed, but also ambushed them.

The Death Eaters suffered heavy losses

The heavy losses here do not refer to casualties.

The Death Eaters he summoned that night all held high positions in the Ministry of Magic. In the past, all Death Eaters were in the management ranks.

Regardless of these people's ability in combat, their influence is undoubtedly the greatest.

Unexpectedly, they were all captured by the Aurors.

If they were all imprisoned in Azkaban, that would be the absolute worst case scenario. With his current ability, he would not be able to control Azkaban.

If you don't have strong power to suppress things like dementors, they won't mind imprisoning you as a food (happiness) reserve, just like the Death Eaters currently imprisoned in Azkaban.

Fortunately, he still has a body and can exert some power. If he turns into a state of water and steam that is worse than even a wandering soul at the beginning, and can only survive by possessing some small animals, that would be the most despairing thing. thing.

"My master, your loyal servant has returned."

A humble voice sounded outside the door. One of the several Death Eaters he rescued that night, Avery hurried in. The first thing he saw when he saw Voldemort was crawling at his feet.

Voldemort had liked this attitude of Death Eaters in the past, as he considered it a sign of loyalty. Now that my body has shrunk and changed into a fairy look, I naturally like it even more.

"Everyone else was captured by the Aurors. With Moody and Scrimgeour here, plus Dumbledore, no one except us can escape."

After hearing Avery's words, Voldemort's face turned even uglier.

It can be said that the entire army was wiped out.

If this elite group of Death Eaters were caught, all that would be left would be a ragtag group of people.

"Master, in the past few days, the Wizengamot has not shown any intention to sentence them."

Avery, who was lying on the ground, raised his head slightly, looked at Voldemort's face and said cautiously, for fear that he would say anything wrong and cause the Voldemort's resentment.

He had a bad temper before, and now it's even worse.

"Huh?" Voldemort's eyes lit up when he heard this: "They were not punished for such an obvious situation?"

"It appears they got away with it some other way."

"Perhaps the current Ministry of Magic is not of the same mind."

When so many officials have problems at the same time, it is a very troublesome thing in itself. If the Minister of Magic acts decisively and resolutely, it will be fine. If he is unable to stretch his hips and has poor wrists, there will be opportunities to take advantage of him.

The performance of the Aurors that night should not be like this. Dumbledore personally led the team.

"Who is the Minister for Magic now?"

"It's Cornelius Fudge, my lord."

"Connelly? Fudge? Never heard of it."

Voldemort thought about it for a moment, but he couldn't find any information about this person in his mind.

"Tell me about this person."

After hearing Voldemort's question, Avery quickly told him all the information he knew about Fudge.

Before becoming the Minister of Magic, Fudge served as the head of the Magical Accidents and Disasters Department. He had mediocre qualifications, average abilities, and no political achievements. Most of the work was left to his subordinates. Voldemort never paid attention to such a character in the past, so naturally he didn't know about him.

The reason why he was able to sit on the throne of the Minister of Magic was purely because the officials of that term of the Ministry of Magic were not good as a whole. Barty Crouch, who was the most promising to sit on the position of Minister of Magic, was completely eliminated because of his son's matter. Another most prestigious wizard, Dumbledore, was still unwilling to serve as Minister of Magic.

Then he got a big deal.

For Fudge, it was equivalent to waking up after a long sleep and becoming the Minister of Magic for no apparent reason.

"What a complete waste."

Voldemort commented after hearing this.

Timid, lack of opinion, and greedy for power.

Voldemort summed up Fudge very accurately.

After so many years, he has not yet secured his position as Minister of Magic, and yet he is still being sent shouting letters and an entire office by ordinary wizards? If this isn't iron waste, what is it?

No, even if the tough guy pulls his hips in a fight, at least he looks mighty and domineering, but what about Fudge?

He sat in the most powerful position in England.

After making the evaluation, Voldemort was smiling.

It's really the best news I've heard in the past few days.

If nothing else, these Aurors were doing useless work, and Dumbledore was also doing useless work.

Only when the clouds on Voldemort's face cleared away and a hint of joy appeared did Avery dare to tell him the information he knew.

"I heard that Scrimgeour reported Fudge the same day he captured your loyal servants."

"But Fudge seemed unwilling to believe it, and even less willing to take over the matter. He scolded him severely. For this, the two of them had a big quarrel in the minister's office, and the wizards outside heard it."

"In the end, it was Dumbledore who interceded as the chief wizard of the Wizengamot to calm down the situation."

"Transferred the handling of this matter to the Wizengamot"

Avery's words undoubtedly verified Voldemort's conjecture.

"Don't worry, my servants will come out soon, but they may have to pay a small price."

"Don't worry. As long as the person is fine, everything else is a minor problem."

"When I fully return, I'll just make up for them."

Voldemort said confidently.

The Wizengamot? He knew the Wizengamot too well. What else would those wizards do besides fight for power?

Many of his subordinates are members of the Wizengamot themselves.

Let them judge themselves?

Isn't this a replica of "Who in the hall is suing me?"

The goblin's unique little eyes shine with a light called hope.

If the Ministry of Magic is united, he will still be afraid of one or two things. If the Ministry of Magic is like this, he will not be afraid of any more.

"Avery, my loyal servant. You must keep an eye on this matter. Once the others are acquitted, you must find them immediately and bring them to me."

"Also give me these potion ingredients."

He wants to brew another pot of potion, and he wants to reshape his body.

This is the reason why Voldemort deliberately took Avery away before leaving. He was the eldest among the other Death Eaters and one of the most powerful. He could collect materials much faster than Wormtail at least.

He had already thought about it. As soon as his body recovered, the first thing he would do was go to Azkaban, recover the group of dementors, and release his most loyal subordinates.

Then there are giants, werewolves, those who were his former supporters.

Finally, he found a chance to deal with Dumbledore, the only wizard who troubled him.

According to the official setting, Fudge was the Minister of Magic who was promoted after the resignation of Millicent, the year before Harry entered school. However, most fans do not seem to use this setting, and the movie version does not mention the specific time.
