Chapter 301 The Counterattack of the Ministry of Magic

"Death Eaters ravage England - Godric's Hollow is destroyed

Last night, the notorious Death Eater Ike Strider and the werewolves destroyed Godric's Hollow in extremely brutal ways.A large number of Muggle and wizarding families' houses were burned down by fire...

So far, seventeen Muggles have been killed and more than 24 people injured; [-] wizards have been killed. The following is the list of victims...

...The Ministry of Magic has still not responded to this..."

"boom!"

Scrimgeour slammed the Daily Prophet onto the table, anger written all over his face.He had only been in office for a few months, but he had aged a lot, as if he had suddenly aged more than [-] years. One-third of his golden hair had turned white.

The pressure from Voldemort and his Death Eaters was too great!

Attacks happen every day.Dementors, giants, werewolves, vampires and all kinds of dark creatures are everywhere. Whether they are wizards or Muggles, they are their targets, spreading fear without any scruples.

In contrast, people from the Ministry of Magic had to worry about the existence of the "Secrecy Act" and were somewhat constrained in the battle with the Death Eaters.At the same time, the fighting qualities of the two are not on the same level.

Except for Aolo, most people in the Ministry of Magic have poor combat abilities. Even if they purchase and equip the "Anti-Spell Series" products produced by Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, it often takes two or three people to deal with one person. Voldemort's men were unable to arrest him.

Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, in the past few months after Voldemort announced his return, the Ministry of Magic was completely at a disadvantage, and could even be said to have no power to fight back.

Although some results have been achieved, it is impossible for the Ministry of Magic to gain public recognition by arresting those who want to make a fortune and confiscating some cursed magic items.

People chose Scrimgeour as the new Minister of Magic in the hope that the Ministry of Magic could defeat the Dark Lord under his leadership, rather than wiping the ass of the Death Eaters.In their view, this is what the Ministry of Magic is doing now.

Scrimgeour sat in his chair, leaning back completely.He glanced at the "Daily Prophet" on the table, remained silent for a long time, and finally picked it up again.But without even looking at it twice, he threw it aside again.

"Bang bang, bang... minister?"

"Come in!"

There was a knock on the door, and Scrimgeour straightened up his appearance a little before letting someone in.Looking up, a smile appeared on his face.

"Kingsley, sit down quickly...how are you doing? Is there any good news?"

Shacklebolt Kingsley bowed to Scrimgeour, sat on the chair opposite him, and said: "I'm sorry, Minister, we were a step late and didn't catch Strider, only a few who ran slowly. The werewolf was caught."

"Bang!" Scrimgeour hammered the table angrily and stood up suddenly, "Damn! Damn! What use do I need those werewolves! Can werewolves stop the people's mouths!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the "Daily Prophet" and threw it again. This time the newspaper was thrown to pieces.

Kingsley did not get up, but slowly sorted out the scattered newspapers and placed them neatly back on the table.

He knew very well that Scrimgeour was just venting his anger, and the recent events had really made him a little anxious.As the Minister of Magic, he undoubtedly endured most of the pressure.

Scrimgeour gasped and stood there for a while, finally regaining his composure.After arranging her somewhat messy hair, she sat back on the chair, her face regaining its composure.

"You must have read today's paper, Kingsley?" he asked.

"Yes, Minister," Kingsley replied.

"We don't have enough manpower...I mean, those who can fight on the front line." Scrimgeour said slowly, "Apart from Aoluo, only Arthur and the people in his office can be of any use. …”

"Of course I know that those people are not good at fighting in the first place. They have been working as civilians in the Ministry of Magic for so many years, but even so, it's not like they can't even use a qualified armor spell!" Scrimgeour's tone! He was very serious, but his wide eyes were full of disappointment.

"I really don't know how Hogwarts teaches..."

"Minister!" Kingsley suddenly interrupted Scrimgeour, "We and Dumbledore have the same goal in fighting the Dark Lord."

"Yeah, yeah..." Scrimgeour also reacted, but his face was a little more angry and complaining, "We have the same goal, but the newspapers are full of articles criticizing me."

"That's Dumbledore, the only person the Dark Lord fears, but he can't even defeat a teenage wizard..."

This time, Kingsley remained silent.He knew very well that the minister in front of him still followed the same path as his predecessor.This is expected and inevitable.

As long as Dumbledore is still alive, whoever sits in the position of Minister of Magic will be deeply afraid of him.After all, no ambitious person will tolerate a person who cannot be controlled by him to be wandering around all the time, and he has to rely on the other person for some things.

Everyone knows that when it comes to defeating the Dark Lord, compared to the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore and his Order of the Phoenix are the real main force.

Although they have not achieved any good results now.

After talking for a while, Scrimgeour finally stopped after he had vented enough.After taking a sip of the tea in the cup, he cleared his throat and asked again: "Kingsley, I have been thinking recently, should we focus on cutting off some of the Dark Lord's followers? We are always led by their noses. But no, we simply cannot provide strong protection to our people.”

He knocked on the cover of the newspaper, pointed to the "Burning Godric's Hollow" photo above and said: "The dispersion of power gives them opportunities and makes us exhausted."

"Yes, yes, but minister, which wing of the Dark Lord should we eradicate?" Kingsley nodded and asked, "Werewolf, vampire, or giant?"

"With all due respect, this does not solve the underlying problem."

"Of course I know!" Scrimgeour glared at Kingsley and said, "But who among us can deal with those guys? Lestrange is fine, but what about Strider?"

"Then... I think we might as well target the werewolves." Kingsley thought for a moment and said, "Capture Fenrir Greyback, and then capture and kill as many ferocious werewolves as possible, maybe It will weaken the Dark Lord’s power to the greatest extent.”

He also pointed to the photo in the newspaper and said: "According to Stan Sampack, the conductor of the Knight Bus, and the survivors, the only ones who actually took action were the werewolves."

"Based on the current situation, compared to dementors and giants, eliminating werewolves is the easiest goal to achieve."

Hearing this, Scrimgeour fell into deep thought.After a long while, he sighed and nodded.

"Okay, that's it...but it seems I have to meet Dumbledore and have a good chat."
