Chapter 722 The frightened Fudge (page 12)
Kyle originally thought he would be taken to No. 12 Grimmauld Place, but unexpectedly, Fox ended up taking him to the Legal Enforcement Department on the second floor of the Ministry of Magic.
Before Kyle came, there were already many people here, and they were all acquaintances.
Chris, Mr. Weasley, Fred, George, Auror Kingsley, Tonks...
And, of course, Dumbledore.
When Kyle arrived, Dumbledore was bending over, and a warm yellow light reflected on the walls on both sides of the corridor, flickering.
"Fox is back!" someone exclaimed.
Then everyone turned their heads.
"Kyle?" Fred rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong.
"Why are you, not a therapist at St. Mungo's?"
No one answered his question, because everyone subconsciously gave way to a path, and Kyle also saw clearly the situation ahead.
There was blood everywhere on the floor, and it had a weird purple color to it.
Amelia Bones of the Law Enforcement Division was lying in a pool of blood, breathing weakly.
Dumbledore put his wand against her body, and the warm light that Kyle saw before came from the tip of the wand.
In just a moment, Kyle understood why Fox had brought him here.
"Are you here?" Kyle asked directly, ignoring the dizzying discomfort.
"The situation is urgent. She can't move for the time being." Dumbledore said equally quickly: "You have to hurry up, Fudge has already reached the seventh floor."
"Okay." Kyle nodded and immediately opened the box.
"Wait...wait..." This is when a weak voice came.
It was Amelia. She tried to open her eyes, but this simple action took almost all her strength.
"Death Eaters...attacked...the Ministry of Magic..." Amelia said intermittently, "Tell the Aurors...to attack...not to...be left alone..."
She probably wanted to explain something, but her voice became lower and lower.
"Hurry up!" Dumbledore urged: "Mr. Weasley, Fudge is almost here..."
Although Dumbledore's words were vague, Fred and George immediately understood what he meant, nodded, and quickly ran towards the corner of the corridor.
Kyle's box is open.
"Turn around!" Chris said seriously.
Out of trust, everyone immediately turned their heads to the wall, including Chris, but when he turned around, he waved his wand and conjured a mirror on the ceiling.
"...Oh, Mr. Minister, you are here!"
"It's so scary, you must be prepared...Really, I can't even look at it."
The voices of Fred and George were heard not far away.
"Merlin, what happened!" Fudge couldn't hide the panic in his voice.
"I really don't dare to recall it. You will know if you see it for yourself."
"Slow down, Minister, be careful where you step, don't fall."
"Get out of the way, you two, and stay out of the way." This was Scrimgeour.
He quickened his pace and hurriedly appeared at the end of the corridor, followed by Fudge's belly.
Fred and George stayed at the end.
At this time, they were surrounding Fudge with their hands stretched out, fearing that he would fall if he ran too fast. This action looked too cowardly.
"Oh!" After Fudge saw clearly what happened in the corridor, he suddenly clutched his chest. "Is that Amelia?"
"I think so," Scrimgeour said in a deep voice, and walked over quickly.
"She was petrified."
Scrimgeour took out his wand, tapped Amelia's gray skin, and whispered: "Resume quickly..."
"The curse is lifted!"
"Appear immediately!"
He tried many spells in succession, but Amelia Bones showed no sign of recovery.
"It's a very sophisticated black magic." Scrimgeour glanced at the blood on the floor, "But it's also lucky that her petrified state saved her life."
He looked at Kingsley and Tonks in the crowd, and asked with a serious face: "Tell me, what exactly happened here."
"Death Eaters attacked," Kingsley said. "Just ten minutes ago, at the Ministry of Magic."
"They originally wanted to go to the first floor, but when they were in the elevator, Ms. Bones saw through their disguise, so the Death Eaters changed their target temporarily."
When he heard that the Death Eaters' target was the first floor, Fudge trembled suddenly.
Isn't the first floor where the minister's office is located?
The target of those Death Eaters was him, the minister!
For a moment, Fudge felt cold all over. If Amelia hadn't happened to take the same elevator as them, he might have been the one lying on the ground.
Fudge's legs were a little sore, and he tried to move his body so that he could lean against the wall.
But no one around noticed the minister's poor performance.
After hearing the two Aurors' explanation, Scrimgeour was furious.
"What about you, what are you doing! Why didn't even an Auror show up when such a big thing happened?"
"I don't want to shirk responsibility." Kingsley shook his head, "We rushed over immediately after hearing the news of the fighting, but by that time, the Death Eaters had already escaped."
"This is impossible," Scrimgeour said. "Apparition is prohibited in the Ministry of Magic. How could they escape!"
"It's not Apparition, it's a portkey." Kingsley said solemnly: "We saw with our own eyes that the Death Eaters gathered around a cane and disappeared collectively."
"Is there more than one Death Eater?" Fudge asked tremblingly.
But Scrimgeour was not too surprised.
Amelia Bones did not get into the position of Director of the Legal Enforcement Department by flattering her, her strength is not weak either.
In a one-on-one situation, it was impossible for those Death Eaters to defeat her in such a short time.
Unless there are enough people.
But Scrimgeour couldn't figure out how the Death Eaters got into the Ministry of Magic. They strictly guarded every passage here, especially the corridor where the fireplace was located, where two large looking glasses were installed. Logically speaking, there were no Maybe someone sneaked in silently.
As a result, there were only three Death Eaters, and they had not received any news.
This made Scrimgeour's face burn, as if he had been slapped hard.
"I think we need to go to the Department of Magical Transport," Tonks said. "I suspect there's someone there to help them."
"Then what are you waiting for?" growled an irritable Scrimgeour.
After Kingsley and Tonks left, he also used his wand to lift up the petrified Amelia on the ground. "Minister, I have to send her to St. Mungo's immediately. Please give way."
"Okay, okay, we're going to St. Mungo's." Fudge said hesitantly as he tried to get closer to the wall.
Amelia Bones is attacked in the Ministry of Magic, seemingly causing him to completely lose his cool.
