Chapter 306 The imminent war

"Ah... Amelia?" Fudge was so frightened that he almost jumped up and asked stammering, "Why are you here?"

"I'm fulfilling the few good administrative directions of the previous minister," Amelia Bones said quietly.

"In view of Count Dracula's good relationship with the teachers and students of Hogwarts in the past, the decision-making team of the Ministry of Magic believes that he is a powerful force that can be fought for; and the identity of Count Dracula determines that I must come here in person to negotiate..."

"However, I didn't expect that during our discussion, I found a familiar name coming to visit."

Amelia stared at Fudge and said seriously: "Connelly, don't you have any reflection on why you stepped down? The exposure of your vampire identity is just an introduction. The wizarding people have been dissatisfied with your inaction for a long time! "

"I was...I concealed the news about the mysterious man just to suppress the panic in the wizarding world!" Fudge argued stiffly, "Who knows what will happen to those ignorant wizard families after suddenly learning such shocking news?" Maybe the Death Eaters haven't started a riot yet, but they themselves started a riot..."

"Stop making excuses, Connelly, you are just afraid that you can't control the situation and don't want to lose your power." Amelia said, "You don't think about the people of the magic world at all. This is what I And the reason why Rufus must have you removed.”

"You lied!" Fudge yelled, "Don't think I don't know, you are just here for my position! You became the Minister of Magic, and Rufus Scrimgeour replaced you as the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement Chang, the two of you will benefit the most!"

"Not everyone cares about power as much as you do, Connelly." Amelia shook her head slightly.

"I remember that you were not like this before. Old Barty was supposed to be the Minister of Magic back then. You happened to catch up with his son's accident and took over the position of Minister in his place... You were very unpopular when you first took office. I still relied on writing letters to Principal Dumbledore every day for consultation to stabilize my position."

"But I don't know since when, you started to be obsessed with this position. Has power brought you too many temptations?"

There was confusion, disappointment, contempt, and even disgust in Amelia's eyes, which pierced Fudge's psychological defenses.

"Why do you look at me like that!" Fudge shouted angrily, "Are you sure that if you stay in this position for a few years, you won't become like me?"

"No matter what kind of person I become in the future, at least I am working hard for the stability of the magic world during this war!" Amelia said calmly, "I will do the negotiation with the vampire family myself. Just go home and retire with peace of mind."

"No...I'm not willing..." Fudge murmured in a daze, "I definitely have a chance to become the Minister of Magic again...there must be..."

He suddenly looked at Dracula and said hopefully: "Count Dracula... Lord Count! I am your subordinate now. It will be good for you if I become the Minister of the British Ministry of Magic, right?"

"Even if you don't care about those benefits, having a Minister of Magic as your little brother is very honorable!"

"Amelia happens to be here. You can definitely kill her easily or imprison her, and then announce to the public that you have reached a cooperation with me personally. Then I will definitely have a better chance of winning than Rufus Scrimgeour becoming the Minister. Bigger..."

The series of blows during this period made Fudge almost lose his mind. The position of Minister of Magic has completely become an obsession for him-if he died on the spot now, there is a high probability that he would become a man who wanted to become the Minister. ghost.

Seeing Fudge's comical behavior of rushing to the doctor due to his illness, Dracula's lips curved into a smile of interest.

Amelia Bones glanced at Dracula with some concern and secretly made a defensive posture.

She wasn't sure whether the moody vampire Earl would agree to Fudge's request for a little benefit or a little face... It was a pity that the Auror who followed was stopped outside the castle by the vampire guards, otherwise she might have gained a few more points. Confidence.

Just when Amelia was feeling uneasy, the smile on Dracula's face suddenly turned cold.

"Who do you think you are? You dare to call yourself my subordinate?" He said lightly, "What's more, this proposal is really boring... Do you really think that I don't have any subordinates to the Minister of Magic?"

Fudge and Amelia opened their eyes at the same time.

"I suggest you use your brains to think about why the living conditions of vampires in Romania are so much better than those in other countries?" Dracula asked with a chuckle, "Is it just because the wizards here spontaneously have no prejudice against vampires? "

Amelia Bones suddenly remembered some details - when ministers from multiple countries met, no matter which Romanian Minister of Magic always liked to go indoors under a black parasol, all meetings outside were held indoors. I would reject all arrangements and rarely attend banquets.

Originally she thought this was some special traditional custom in Romania, but now combined with Dracula's tone, she can easily draw a conclusion -

Romania's Minister of Magic has been controlled by a vampire!

Amelia took a breath, gaining a new understanding of the power of Dracula's Castle.

This knowledge also made her more eager to hope that the British Ministry of Magic could cooperate with Dracula...at least not to let this ethnic group belonging to the dark forces be won over by Voldemort.

Fudge's eyes also became a little desperate.

"But...but the British Ministry of Magic is different from Romania. Aren't the more ministers you have under your command, the better?" he finally struggled to say.

"Sorry, I'm not interested." Dracula waved his hand casually, "Two people will come and drive Mr. Fudge back to his own country, and then add his name to Dracula's Castle blacklist."

"I think he needs to experience how a vampire without the protection of Dracula's castle survives in the magical world!"

Seeing the two vampires guarding the door come in, Fudge yelled in panic: "No... no no, Lord Earl, I have other uses..."

However, Dracula had completely lost interest in him, allowing his subordinates to throw Fudge out of the castle, and then turned his attention directly to the current Minister of Magic, Amelia Bones.

"Then we can finally talk quietly, Ms. Bones, how did you come up with the idea of ​​establishing cooperation with me?" The smile returned to Dracula's face, "From your perspective, don't I Should he be the criminal who forcibly transformed a wizard into a vampire in public?"

Amelia Bones also showed a reserved smile on her face and gently sat on the chair opposite Dracula.

"To be honest, some people in the ministry are indeed dissatisfied with your behavior." She said softly, "Rufus doesn't really appreciate your style of doing things."

"However, not only is he dissatisfied with you, Rufus also has strong objections to Principal Dumbledore. Because establishing independent forces and going beyond the Ministry of Magic to fight against mysterious people is actually an approach that undermines the authority of the Ministry of Magic."

"Oh?" Dracula raised his eyebrows, "He can even have opinions about people like Dumbledore, shouldn't he hate me deeply? He didn't stop you from coming to me to discuss cooperation?"

"In fact, there may be many members of the Ministry of Magic like Rufus who are dissatisfied with you, but there are still many members who are optimistic about cooperating with you." Amelia said, "You may know Percy Wes coming?"

"Of course." Dracula nodded, "I have the impression that he was originally Barty Crouch's personal assistant."

"Yes, after the ministry confirmed that Old Barty was killed, I didn't want to delay Percy's talent, so I made him the secretary of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement." Amelia said, "In addition to Percy, there are many Young people who have recently joined the Ministry of Magic all admire you."

"The proportion of such young people in the Ministry of Magic is not small. Because of their efforts, the Ministry of Magic voted to approve the plan to unite with the vampire clan... Rufus even lost his temper at that time."

"Tsk, it's hard for those little guys to actually be willing to speak for a vampire." Dracula chuckled.

"To them, your first identity is their professor, and your second identity is the leader of the vampire family." Amelia also said with a smile, "It seems that Count Dracula is in Hogwarts." It’s very popular.”

"A bunch of blind little guys actually like to listen to the vampire professor's lectures." Dracula shook his head seemingly helplessly, but the smile on his face was difficult to hide easily.

"So..." Amelia pursed her lips and asked, "For the sake of your students, is Count Dracula willing to join forces with the British Ministry of Magic to deal with the upcoming war?"

Dracula looked at Amelia's serious expression, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised.

"my pleasure."

He stood up from his tall chair and walked towards the door of the reception room.

"Let me think about it... Well, Tesla, it's you!" He pointed to a senior vampire with a goatee who was on duty outside. "You represent Dracula's Castle and bring some of the middle and low-level people with you." The vampire goes to England and cooperates with Ms. Bones at any time.”

"By the way, how is Cedric learning his vampire talent? If there is no problem, take him with you and let him go home to visit his parents and former friends..."

"Selena, help me send a message to Lupine from the werewolf group next door——"

"Let's just say... Let him go to England with those ambitious werewolves to deal with Voldemort. It depends on whether we can change the inherent impression of werewolves and vampires in the magical world in one fell swoop!"

…

War seems to be about to break out.

No one expected that the Death Eaters would move so quickly.

Shortly after Amelia Bones left Romania and returned to British territory through a portkey, before she could return to the Ministry of Magic, she was blocked by several Death Eaters.

"Yaxley, you are indeed a Death Eater!" Amelia looked at the man in front of her with blond hair and a gorgeous robe, her expression was very ugly.

"Didn't you already know that?" Yaxley stared at Amelia fiercely, the anger in his eyes completely concealed, "Didn't that traitor Lucius Malfoy tell you my identity? Yet?"

"If I hadn't had a few well-informed friends in the ministry, I might have been caught by Scrimgeour by now..."

"Damn it! The war is about to begin, how come there are still people in the ministry who can't see the seriousness of the situation." Amelia stamped her feet and said through gritted teeth, "Those people told you my itinerary, right? "

"Of course, who told you that you secretly arranged the arrest?" Yaxley said coldly, "Others don't know that I am a Death Eater. As long as I take out a few more Galleons, it will be easy." I can find out your itinerary."

"It seems that you have been planning for a long time and are ready to find an opportunity to kill me, the new Minister of Magic, right?" Amelia asked.

"Of course, we can't let the Ministry of Magic and Dracula form an alliance." Yaxley said with a sneer, "As long as we kill you all here, no one will know how you died... Then we can completely blame Dracula for your death and completely destroy your alliance."

"When your obstacle is removed, we will use the Imperius Curse to control an official of the Ministry of Magic and support him to take over the position of Minister of Magic."

"With this method, we can accomplish multiple things with one stone, allowing the Dark Lord to easily control the entire Ministry of Magic!"

"You talk too much, Corban!" Avery, another Death Eater next to Yaxley, reminded, "It will be a long night, so we are going to take action directly."

Amelia took out her wand and winked at the Aurors who were acting as bodyguards around her.

The Aurors raised their wands and stood around Amelia to prevent her from being hit by the sudden spell.

"It's a good idea, but do you think you guys...can hurt me?" Amelia's voice came from behind the many Aurors.

In fact, in addition to being a politician, she is also an extremely talented wizard with excellent spell-casting abilities.

This Death Eater's posture obviously cannot be easily dealt with by her.

"We know you are strong, Amelia." At this moment, Yaxley's voice sounded again, "So there is a big gift waiting for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of Inferi with stiff movements, ulcerated skin, and Yin Qi all over their bodies appeared behind him and surrounded him from all directions.

At the same time, many werewolves subdued by Voldemort rushed up with bared teeth; there were dementors floating in the air in the distance...

As if in the blink of an eye, the place turned into an army of dark creatures, overwhelming Amelia and the surrounding Aurors.
