Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1286 War is not a child's play

   It’s always right to be cautious, after all, it’s about human life, so don’t regret it later.

  If Bill and Fleur's wedding can also be so cautious, perhaps there will not be so many messes now.

  Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world.

After completing the preliminary arrangement, the three of them did not intend to return to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, but to find an empty house in a nearby Muggle village for a short rest, and to see if they could contact Kingsley and get some useful information from him. information.

  The most difficult thing about this rescue mission is actually only two points:

   Find out if the Death Eaters intend to imprison the Weasleys in Azkaban, and when they intend to go.

   If the intelligence is wrong, they can only waste their time.

  As for the dark wizards who sent the Weasleys to Azkaban, they weren't really troublesome. With Albert's ability to crush most wizards, he could easily deal with them.

  During the break and discussing the finishing plan, Sirius also got in touch with Kingsley.

Kingsley is worthy of being an elite Auror trained by the Ministry of Magic, and soon got definite information from a former colleague: Arthur and Molly were indeed sent to the Ministry of Magic, not only them, but also those who The guests who did not escape and were arrested were also sent to the Ministry of Magic for interrogation. Only a small number of pure-blood wizards enjoyed the treatment of being released directly, and the rest of the unlucky ones enjoyed the detention package, and the Weasleys were even more severely punished. Strict torture.

Who made Ron the best buddy of Harry Potter, Fred and George were Albert's friends, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts props sold by the twins caused them a lot of trouble. Most importantly, Wei Both Sly and his wife were members of the Order of the Phoenix, and they had sheltered Harry Potter more than once.

At the beginning, if Alecto Caro hadn’t proposed to Voldemort to use the Weasleys as a trap to lure Potter, Weasley or members of the Order of the Phoenix, the Weasleys would probably have been killed by Voldemort on the spot. To punish the Weasleys for supporting Harry Potter, Voldemort killed the Weasleys' second son, Charlie, in front of them.

   "The Ministry of Magic has completely fallen?" Albert had a strange expression.

  Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to do it in a short period of time. Most wizards resist and hate the Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters. Even if they don’t have the courage to stand up and resist, there are still many things that can cause trouble for them.

   However, the Death Eaters managed to take control of the Ministry within hours of Scrimgeour's death.

"After all, they are just following orders. At first they obeyed Scrimgeour's orders to fight against the Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters. Now that Scrimgeour is dead, it is not surprising that they obey the orders of the new Minister Pierce Thicknesse." Moody There was a strong irony in his words.

"Will it be controlled by the Imperius Curse? I remember that Piers Thicknesse seems to be one of Scrimgeour's supporters." Sirius felt that the current new minister should be just an unlucky guy controlled by the Imperius Curse, similar to The cases are countless.

   "Perhaps, Shinkenis was indeed controlled by the Imperius Curse, but that guy is definitely a fool."

  What kind of virtue Thickness is, how could Moody, who has been in the Ministry of Magic for decades, not know.

   "He probably joined the Death Eaters after being controlled by the Imperius Curse."

"If I were him, I would do the same. In this day and age, only scumbags can live well. After all, Scrimgeour is dead, so what can he do if he doesn't join the Death Eaters? Why don't you find an excuse for yourself? , no matter which side wins in the end, his situation will not be too bad, anyway, he is not responsible for anything he does after being controlled by the Imperius Curse."

  Albert can understand Thickness's approach very well. It is obviously unrealistic to expect everyone to stand up against the mysterious man like members of the Order of the Phoenix.

  Living in such a bad age, protecting the safety of themselves and their families is the most important thing for most British wizards, and it is impossible to say who is at fault, because no one is at fault. They just "pinned" their hopes on the savior, counting on Harry to defeat the mysterious man!

   It was really thanks to Harry Potter winning in the end, leading them to lie down and win a wave, otherwise God knows what the British Ministry of Magic will look like.

   "So, he still hasn't figured out the most important news!"

  Sirius also knew that it was unrealistic for Kingsley to find out when the Death Eaters planned to send Arthur and Molly to Azkaban, but he still couldn't help complaining.

   It's really thanks to Albert's divination, otherwise they probably would have been kept in the dark.

   "I asked him to bring a map of the Ministry of Magic." Moody said suddenly.

  Since the Human Tracking Curse can take effect at Hogwarts, there should be no problem with the Ministry of Magic. Then we can use the Marauder's Map to find out what's going on inside the Ministry of Magic.

   "That's a good idea, why didn't we think of it just now." Sirius turned his head to look at Albert. He was actually even more surprised that Albert hadn't thought of using this method to monitor the Ministry of Magic.

   "The Human Tracking Curse can actually be blocked." Although Albert said so, he also agreed with Moody's proposal. Most wizards probably would not have thought that someone would use this method to monitor the Ministry of Magic.

  However, there is a saying that plans cannot keep up with changes. Before Kingsley rushed over with the map, Albert's left wrist lit up with a dazzling red light, instantly attracting the attention of the other two.

"what happened?"

   "The ship has set off." Albert said softly, "Earlier than I expected!"

   "Are we going to intercept them now?" Sirius frowned slightly, "But Dobby hasn't brought us the broomstick yet."

   Without broomsticks, they can't fly, let alone intercept the Ministry of Magic's ship heading for Azkaban.

   Albert took out his pocket watch to check the time, and waved his wand to summon Dobby out of thin air. The efficiency of the other party really did not satisfy him.

   With a crackle, Dobby the house-elf appears out of nowhere.

   "Where's the broomstick?" Albert asked with a frown.

   “Harry Potter…”

"Enough Dobby, I don't have time to listen to your explanation now, you still have thirty seconds, I want to see the broomstick." Albert guessed what was going on, and felt very helpless, because a group of people couldn't figure it out Situation guy.

   "What's going on?" Sirius asked with a frown.

"It's probably because other people asked Dobby, which delayed the matter." Albert turned his head and said to the two, "You should train everyone carefully, this is war, not a joke, so many people have died , can’t you make them clearly realize that this is a war?”

   "I will." Sirius was silent for a moment, then nodded.

   "You can't expect everyone to act as swiftly and decisively as you." Moody sighed softly. If everyone else could be like Albert, maybe Scrimgeour wouldn't be blocked by Voldemort.

   While the three were talking, Dobby the house elf appeared in front of the three with Kingsley and several broomsticks.

   "Sorry sir..."

   "Follow up first, and talk about other things on the way."

   Albert took the broom from Kingsley and walked outside.

"what happened."

  Kingsley hurriedly followed, but he was still confused.

   "The sea ship heading for Azkaban has already started." Sirius quickly explained, "Arthur and the other captured people may be on that ship, and we are now going to intercept it and rescue the others."
