Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1272 Repeat the old trick

   In the dark night, several strange black shadows flitted across the sky, and suddenly landed in a certain remote wizarding town. Before the black smoke pervaded their bodies dissipated, they raised their wands without hesitation, blasted open the wooden door of the target house, and broke in directly. The huge explosion instantly awakened the dead town.

   "What are you going to do?"

   In the middle of the night, a man's roar sounded.

  A green light symbolizing death lit up from the window of the room, followed by a scream.

"Determine the target."

  The Death Eaters headed by them knocked down the screaming woman and looked at a person beside them.

   "That's right, it's him." The man nodded and said, "This guy showed off to people in the bar."

   "Very well, take people away."

  Two Death Eaters next to her immediately stepped forward, grabbed the woman's arms, pulled her up from the ground, and walked straight out, so as to get out of here before the other wizards could react.

  The last Death Eater preparing to Apparate raises his wand and shoots the Dark Mark over the house. He glanced at the sorcerers who had hurriedly assembled, with a hint of disdain on the corner of his mouth, and the apparation disappeared immediately.

  Looking at the skull image floating above the house, everyone was stunned,

   On the same day, the news that the Dark Mark appeared in France quickly spread in the French magic circle through newspapers. At noon the next day, Scrimgeour, who had just received the information, fell into a brief silence as he looked at the headline photo of the Dark Mark on the Sun King Daily.

  Of course he guessed what was going on.

   But, that guy is actually hiding in France?

   "Minister, they're here." Percy reminded softly.

   "Let them come over."

   Scrimgeour looked up at Percy and said, "I can understand if you want to take a day off to go back to the wedding."

   "Forget it." Percy shook his head and walked outside. After a while, he brought the two of them over.

   Scrimgeour handed the newspaper to his Auror office director, "Look at this newspaper, those guys have made big troubles recently, unfortunately they chose the wrong target."

   "With such a big commotion, will France..."

   Robards looked at the minister expectantly. If the French Ministry of Magic can also participate in the fight against the mysterious man, their pressure will be greatly reduced.

   "Don't count on those cowards, they won't get involved. Unless the mysterious people try to invade and control the French Ministry of Magic and mess up the French magic world, no one wants to get involved in this war."

   Scrimgeour knows those people all too well, because he would do the same. It's not just a few people who died. Once the French Ministry of Magic is really involved in this wizarding war, more people will die.

   As for the reaction of the masses, that is the least important thing from the start.

   Unless the French Minister of Magic is as angry as Fudge, there will be no embarrassing situation where the Minister is kicked out.

  Kingsley, who had been silent since just now, took the newspaper, and after toppling over a certain burned house on another page, he suddenly asked, "Are those Death Eaters looking for Anderson?"

   "Obviously. But that guy was prepared." Scrimgeour never thought that the Death Eaters could find Albert.

   "Then what shall we do next?" Robards asked with a frown. He doesn't really care about these **** things, he only cares about the current situation of the Ministry of Magic. His old friend Scrimgeour only told him that there was going to be a big operation, and the Aurors were required to be ready for battle at any time.

"According to the scheduled plan, this operation should be in the next few days, you should make preparations first." Scrimgeour stopped the director of his Auror office before he was about to leave: "You can start Rumors are spreading that the French Ministry of Magic is enraged by You-Know-Who and is discussing with us to send Aurors over to deal with You-Know-Who.”

   As he spoke, Scrimgeour pointed to the newspaper on the table, signaling his Auror office director to take it away.

   "We have to reassure people first, and send the wrong message to those Death Eater spies."

   "No problem, leave it to me!" Robards picked up the newspaper and glanced at Kingsley before leaving.

  After Galdwin left, Scrimgeour said to Kingsley, "I agreed to your previous proposal. When is Bill Weasley's wedding?"

   "Two days later."

  Kingsley was surprised, he never expected Scrimgeour to agree so simply.

   "Will Anderson go to the wedding?"

   "Should be." Kingsley said.

"Remember to ask Arthur to send me some invitations, you know, the Ministry of Magic can't blatantly mobilize Aurors to protect a wedding, but I never mind finding some benefits for Aurors. For the past year, their work has been It's all very heavy."

   "Are you going to repeat the old trick?"

Kingsley's eyes widened, and he immediately guessed Scrimgeour's intentions, just like they used Albert's wedding to set up traps and directly killed a large number of Death Eaters, but now the Ministry of Magic plans to use Bill and Fleur The wedding serves as a lure to the Death Eaters.

  Whether the Death Eaters fall for it or not, the Ministry of Magic does not lose.

   No, Kingsley believed that those Death Eaters would never let go of this good opportunity.

  After all, Harry is likely to attend the wedding, as well as the Weasley brothers, and even Albert may be there, there is no reason for the Death Eaters to miss this good opportunity to catch them.

   But if this ever happened!

  Kingsley couldn't imagine that Bill's festive wedding would directly turn into a battlefield.

   "Things happen, don't they?"

Scrimgeour looked Kingsley up and down, shook his head in disappointment and said, "Anderson said that after the Mysterious Man is completely finished, you have a high probability of becoming the next Minister of Magic, but in my opinion, you want to take this position , it's not far away."

  Kingsley opened his mouth, he never thought that Scrimgeour would actually say that directly.

   "I don't deny that you are excellent, but if you want to take the position of Minister of Magic, you still lack something." Scrimgeour also didn't understand until he became Minister for nearly a year.

"If I die, remember to stay close to Anderson. The Order of the Phoenix is ​​completely unreliable after losing Dumbledore. When facing a dangerous guy like the Mysterious Man, without an extraordinary wizard to help me, I will end up like this now .”

"When the Ministry of Magic collapses, you will take over the last remaining power. I don't think I can count on Anderson's side. Remember to kill more Death Eaters to avenge me. I let them go easily last time. That's why this disaster was buried, especially without Dumbledore's help, those guys will not be safe." Scrimgeour saw Kingsley's astonished expression, and suddenly showed a strange smile.

   "Are you surprised?"

   "Somewhat."

  Kingsley was more than surprised, his heart was not peaceful at all.

"Anderson's predictions have always been accurate. It's a pity that he hasn't grown up to take Dumbledore's place, otherwise I can definitely...forget it." Scrimgeour laughed at himself, "the current Ministry of Magic probably has a lot of Death Eaters Even Gadwin may not be reliable, and now you are my last choice."

   "Why?" Kingsley asked suspiciously.

   "Because I believe that you, the Order of the Phoenix, are not so easy to betray, and I believe in that guy's vision."

   Scrimgeour's words were not lying, but it was more to draw a big cake for Kingsley and win him over completely.

  Now that the Ministry of Magic is being gradually infiltrated, there are not many Scrimgeours who can really be relied on. Therefore, he planned to win over the Order of the Phoenix through Kingsley, to see if he could take this opportunity to completely injure the Death Eaters and buy himself enough time.

  If Scrimgeour ultimately fails and dies at the hands of the mysterious man, Kingsley, who believes in integrating the remaining resistance forces of the Ministry of Magic, will definitely continue to cause trouble for the Death Eaters.

  Even if he dies, they can't even think about it.

   What's more, Scrimgeour believes that Albert has a way to avenge himself by the way.

   I had a toothache for two days, and my whole body was not feeling well.
