Chapter 777 The Forgotten Weasley (page 12)
When he heard that Cedric was okay, Fred immediately laughed out loud, but soon he realized that this was the Ministry of Magic, and there were many people around him who were busy coming and going. On the lips.
However, Mr. Diggory didn't know what they were thinking, and asked curiously: "Speaking of the Weasley boys, didn't you two resign? Why are you here?"
"Ah, we heard that this place was attacked, so we came here to help." George said.
"That's right." Fred nodded.
For some reason, they didn't mention Cedric again, they just said they were here to help.
"Well, they are really a group of enthusiastic children." Mr. Digory smiled and nodded, "But let me tell you, you are really lucky."
"Yeah, that's right." Fred said with a smile, "If we hadn't resigned, we might have been sent to St. Mungo's by now."
"It's not possible, it's definitely... maybe it will be worse." Mr. Digory shook his head, and his expression became much more serious. "I heard that the Death Eaters made a special trip after they came out of the minister's office. Department of Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Items.
"My guess is that Arthur has repeatedly opposed the Death Eaters, and they want to take revenge."
"Yes, dad has indeed been fighting against the Death Eaters." Fred said with a smile, looking like he didn't care at all.
As members of the Order of the Phoenix, it was normal for them to be deliberately targeted by Death Eaters, and there was nothing surprising about it. Otherwise, their family would not have moved from the Burrow to No. 12 Grimmauld Place.
"How's old Perkins?"
"Not good." Mr. Digory shook his head with a heavy face. "As far as I know, he met the Death Eaters in the elevator and was tortured by them with the Cruciatus Curse. But luckily , he saved his life.”
"Yes." George sighed a little, "I remember that he always wanted to retire early... Now he should be able to do so."
Several people continued walking upstairs.
After learning that Cedric was fine, they were not so anxious and began to help the injured people on different floors, while also asking about what happened here.
Judging from everyone's descriptions, the Death Eaters did not leave directly after killing Fudge, but relied on the large number of people to find those who opposed them one by one.
Later, Amelia Bones, Scrimgeour and others arrived in time with Aurors and strikers, and the two sides had a great battle here.
As for the outcome of this battle... Although the Aurors succeeded in driving away the Death Eaters, the Ministry of Magic lost from the beginning, and lost completely.
At this time, there were many Ministry of Magic employees upstairs who were affected. Most of them were old employees engaged in clerical work. Because they had not participated in a battle for a long time, they were immediately stunned when encountering such an unexpected situation. .
Some people didn't even take out their wands before being knocked down by the Death Eaters.
As soon as Kyle turned a corner, he saw a wizard unconscious in the ruins.
He had the impression that this person had been checking visitors' wands in the hall before, but he didn't know why he appeared here. Maybe there was something going on, or he might have escaped here in the chaos.
With a wave of his wand, Kyle transformed a battered door into a stretcher, then turned several rocks into little people with legs.
The stone man threw the man roughly onto the stretcher, carried him and ran downstairs.
"Hey, this is a really good move." Fred said from the side, and followed the same example to help other wounded people.
But when he was busy working, he always felt as if he had forgotten something, and the same was true for George next to him.
They subconsciously think they should go somewhere and do something, but they can't tell where they are going.
However, the two of them didn't pay attention and continued to devote themselves to the rescue work.
If you can't remember it, it certainly doesn't matter.
During this period, they also met Amelia Bones, the director of the Legal Enforcement Department who was leading a team of thugs to direct the follow-up work in an orderly manner.
She also expressed her gratitude to people like Fred and George who had resigned but came forward to help.
"Mad, take a few people to the third floor. The Muggle Mediation Committee office has almost been demolished."
"There is also the sixth floor. Barty is injured. He cannot restart the floo network before dawn by himself."
"Scrimgeour, please, please and the Aurors guard each entrance to guard against Death Eaters returning."
She arranged the work quickly and efficiently, and every order was carried out quickly. No one disagreed, even Scrimgeour led the Aurors to the hall without saying a word.
"It looks like she will be the next Minister of Magic."
After Amelia Bones left, Fred suddenly whispered: "I remember Dad said that the director of the Auror Office cannot be commanded by just a division chief."
"I think so too." Kyle nodded.
During her tenure as the Director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic, Amelia Bones always gave people the impression of being fair and rigorous, and she never made any mistakes. Almost everyone spoke highly of her.
Including when Sirius was retried, Amelia was the first person to advocate his innocence.
Also, the last time Kyle came to the Ministry of Magic for interrogation, the other party also argued with Fudge, and after the result came out, he offered to help Kyle contact the Wizengamot.
So Kyle's impression of her has always been very good.
And more importantly, Amelia Bones insisted on opposing Voldemort from beginning to end. Even though she was almost killed by Death Eaters, this never changed.
Someone who has the ability, responsibility, and a stand... Such a person is indeed the most suitable person to become the new Minister of Magic.
"What a shame." George sighed suddenly. "I thought you were going to be the Minister of Magic."
"Who, me?" Kyle pointed to himself.
"Otherwise." Fred said with a smile, "It can't be me. Of course, I don't have an opinion myself, but I'm afraid that other people won't agree."
"Don't worry, I will definitely be the first to object." George said.
"What are you thinking about?" Kyle curled his lips and calmly put a broken window back together and put it back in its original position. "Let's put it this way, unless everyone is crazy, they will let a wizard who just graduated from Hogwarts be the Minister of Magic during the war.
"If someone really proposed this idea, even Dumbledore would be suspected of being under the Imperius Curse of a mysterious man."
"That's why I say it's a pity." George whispered: "Eighteen-year-old Minister of Magic, if you succeed, you will become a legend."
"Maybe it's a joke." Kyle glanced at him, "Besides, I just graduated and I don't want to enter another bigger and busier 'castle' so soon."
"Is this why you haven't come to work?" Fred couldn't help but laugh: "I must remind you that Ms. Bones just said that she would deduct half a month's salary from you."
