Chapter 519: Les: The target is the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic

After the order was given, the members of the organization were finally able to leave.

With the sound of Apparition, peace returned to the island of Azkaban, and Les could start to rebuild his castle - Azkaban used to be a prison, and it was not very livable, so Les had to renovate the floor where he lived to make it habitable.

The news of the birth of the new Dark Lord was spread by these former Death Eaters and current members of the Snake Organization.

They brought two pieces of news to the wizarding world, one good and one bad.

The good news is that Voldemort is dead.

The bad news is that he died in the civil war between the Dark Lords. The new Dark Lord is stronger, younger, and more ambitious.

Les's slogan "Explore the ultimate of magic and make the magic world great again" is also well known to everyone.

The wizarding world immediately fell into panic.

Rice's slogan sounds normal, but if you think about it deeply in combination with his current identity, it is very scary.

Isn't "exploring the ultimate of magic" just a euphemism for "I want to vigorously study the dark arts"? As for "making the wizarding world great again", that is naked pure-blood supremacy, not even acting.

The Ministry of Magic was already in chaos due to the assassination of Fudge, and now it has completely lost its normal function until that man appeared.

Dumbledore arrived at the Ministry of Magic in time, stabilized the situation and calmed people down.

He then called for a new round of elections for Minister of Magic.

Under normal circumstances, the Minister of Magic would most likely be replaced by the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. However, the current situation is special, and the wizarding world is shrouded in the shadow of the Dark Lord, so the officials of the Ministry of Magic urgently need a strong minister.

Scrimgeour from the Auror Office stood out and was nominated as the new Minister of Magic.

After the election, the members of the Snake Organization gathered together in Lucius's manor in a tacit understanding.

"Lucius, congratulations." Little Avery congratulated Lucius with a flattering smile on his face.

During Voldemort's time, Lucius was a core Death Eater who had a close relationship with the Dark Lord. It stands to reason that a new emperor chooses his own ministers, and in the era of the new Dark Lord, he, a confidant of the previous dynasty, would definitely be alienated, but who would have thought that the new Dark Lord was his nephew!

Now he is no longer a confidant of the previous dynasty, but has directly become a royal relative!

In addition, most of the big figures among the Death Eaters had been sent by His Majesty to meet Voldemort, so Lucius naturally became the absolute core of the new organization, second only to the emperor.

Of course, Avery Jr. said this to test Lucius. After all, even if Les Lint had started studying black magic during prenatal education, he would not have reached the point he is at now.

Little Avery also wanted to figure out what was going on.

"But I dare not say that he is my nephew..." Lucius gave a bitter smile, and then told everyone the true identity of Les.

Organization members:?!

"Slytherin? How is that possible!" Most people couldn't believe it when they heard the news for the first time, because Salazar Slytherin was a wizard who lived thousands of years ago. How could he live to this day?

But even though they couldn't understand it, after thinking about it calmly for a moment, they were surprised to find that this statement was quite reasonable.

"What about your nephew...?" asked old Crabbe.

Lucius sighed, saying nothing.

Everyone understood: Salazar Slytherin had resurrected to take over the body of Lucius's nephew.

Now not many people envy Lucius.

High status? In exchange for my nephew's life!

After hearing what Lucius said, everyone completely believed that Les was Salazar Slytherin himself, because this method was really too evil.

Is there any magic more evil than taking away a person's life and replacing it with another?

After the members of the organization dispersed, Lint Manor welcomed a new guest: Henry Greengrass, who came for his daughter Astoria.

After listening to Henry's request, Lucius was speechless: "Brother, don't you have a clear understanding of your own identity? The potion formula looks extremely complicated. Why would the Dark Lord help you treat your daughter?"

However, considering Henry's identity, Lucius agreed to help Henry convey a message.

What shocked him was that the Dark Lord not only agreed to treat Henry's daughter, but he even kept Astoria by his side after the treatment and prepared to teach her magic personally.

Suddenly, the attitude of the Snake Organization members towards Mr. Henry changed subtly.

……

Dumbledore was like a dam, keeping the outside storms firmly out of the school, and the campus life at Hogwarts could still be described as calm.

The only drawback was that, perhaps because he was too old and his memory was declining, or perhaps because his previous reputation was too bad and he couldn't find anyone to take the blame, Dumbledore didn't even find a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for Hogwarts.

A terrible thought came to the minds of many young wizards: Could it be... No way! I don't want Umbridge to be a professor! If possible, please let her wait until I graduate before becoming a ghost professor!

But the truth is so cruel.

The professors at Hogwarts actually agreed to let Umbridge's ghost teach Defense Against the Dark Arts for a year.

Then Umbridge vividly demonstrated to the young wizards what it meant to be hated by people and ghosts. She even successfully reversed Peeves' reputation by herself.

"This can't go on any longer." After a Defense Against the Dark Arts class that was as boring as History of Magic, Harry called Hermione and Ron together and spoke to them seriously.

"What?" Ron didn't react for a moment.

"We can't keep wasting time. The current Defense Against the Dark Arts is a piece of shit. It's of no help to us!" Harry became emotional. "The Dark Lord - I mean, Les's power is growing every day. Voldemort is not really dead. I can be sure of that!"

Ron and Hermione were horrified.

The previous events are understandable. Although Rice and his followers have not made any moves recently, they are dark wizards after all.

The fall of Azkaban is a good example. Les Lint, or the monster pretending to be Les Lint, is not a person who stays quiet. After integrating the remaining forces of Voldemort, he will definitely launch a new round of more fierce offensive.

But they didn’t quite understand the following sentence. Wasn’t Voldemort confirmed dead?

"Have you forgotten what happened in second year? I wonder if Voldemort has left behind other similar items?"

Hermione's expression turned horrified.

"If that's the case, that's terrible. One Les is enough for us to deal with, and now there's another Voldemort lurking in the dark..."

"What are you talking about?" Godric suddenly appeared, scaring the three of them.

After Harry told Godric his speculation, Godric looked at the three of them with strange eyes.

"Haven't you heard of Horcruxes?" he asked curiously.

Harry and the other two had never even heard of Horcruxes, which surprised him greatly.

It's fine that Harry and Ron, who don't read much, didn't know, but how come even Hermione didn't know? It seems that there are indeed some problems with Hogwarts' magic education.

Godric gave Harry a detailed description of what a Horcrux was, which made Harry extremely excited.

"Yes! That's right! An evil wizard like Voldemort must have created more than one Horcrux!"

Although Harry's doubts were answered, his inner worries increased instead of decreased - now there really were two Dark Lords lurking at Hogwarts.

"We can't waste time," Harry decided.

On the surface, Les Lint was in Azkaban, accumulating strength, and secretly, Voldemort was relying on the Horcruxes to survive and plotting evil. In such a dangerous environment, how could Harry allow himself to waste a year learning some bullshit magical defense theory?

Are you learning this in order to hypnotize Rice by reciting the textbook when you fight him in the future?

Godric looked at Harry with interest, wanting to see how this young wizard would break the current deadlock.

To be honest, Godric felt that Dumbledore's response to the recent series of events was really terrible and as childish as a child.

If he hadn't known that the ultimate villain was Salazar, he would have been furious.

Firstly, Dumbledore actually allowed Fudge to continue to smear him for two months during the summer vacation, which made him and Harry very passive in public opinion; secondly, when the Ministry of Magic tried to interfere with the operation of Hogwarts, he failed to make a strong response, which made Godric, the founder, very dissatisfied.

When Fudge was killed by Salazar, Dumbledore made another mistake, and the new Minister of Magic was actually chosen!

When Godric heard this, he couldn't believe his ears. Even he felt that at this juncture, he should elect a more reliable person to the throne.

This Scrimgeour looked like a tough guy, but in fact, Godric could see at a glance that he was actually very soft.

Salazar blatantly broke into Azkaban and established power there, but he didn't react at all, as if nothing had happened.

Again, if Godric hadn't known that the person who did this was Salazar, he would have overthrown Scrimgeour's rule together with Helga and then gathered all their strength to go straight to Azkaban to fight a decisive battle with the dark forces.

Salazar was not confused about major issues, which was why Godric remained restrained.

But there is no doubt that Godric thinks Dumbledore is unqualified as a righteous leader.

It may be because of his advanced age, but this is just a reason and cannot change the conclusion.

Harry didn't notice the change in Godric's expression, as he was seriously thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

He just felt that he should do something, but he didn't know how.

However, Ron and Hermione realized it earlier than him. After digesting the series of explosive news, they quickly found a way to break the deadlock.

They both turned their eyes to Harry.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Harry asked confused.

"We need a qualified Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, one who can teach us how to use spells and correct our mistakes."

Harry's first thought was Lupin the werewolf, but he had been working for the Order of the Phoenix, and as an outsider, he could not enter Hogwarts. If he came to class, he could only attend classes during Hogsmeade's open day, which was far from enough teaching time.

"It's you." Hermione broke the window paper, which scared both Harry and Godric - Godric thought it was directed at him.

"Me? Hermione are you kidding me—"

"Harry, in your first year, you took back the Philosopher's Stone from You-Know-Who; in your second year, you eliminated Riddle and killed the basilisk left by Salazar Slytherin—"

"Wait! What did you say?" Godric couldn't sit still any longer. "You killed the snake king that Salazar raised?!"

Harry and the other two looked at Godric with strange eyes, as if to say "are you serious, brother?"

Godric's face froze, and he felt extremely overwhelmed.

The snake king had been with Salazar for a long time, and he loved him dearly. If Salazar knew this news, it would be a big trouble.

He responded with a few words and fooled Harry and the other two.

Harry and the other two didn't take Godric's strange behavior seriously. They had other things to argue about.

Harry thought Hermione's words were hilarious. In his first year, he killed Quirrell with the help of the magic left on him by his mother. In his second year, he fought against the basilisk and the Horcruxes, and it was the Phoenix Fawkes who dealt the heavy damage. He was just helping to finish off the enemy.

"But what about the year before last? You fought off a hundred Dementors by yourself!" Ron was excited. "Last year you even escaped from You-Know-Who's nose!"

"Viktor used to say that he couldn't do the magic you could do, and he was in his last year at Durmstrang."

"Are you still in touch with him?" Ron looked at Hermione suspiciously, but Hermione ignored him.

"So it's actually quite appropriate for you to teach everyone magic!"

Godric watched with interest the three little wizards' chattering and arguing.

He seemed to see the four of them when they were young. They were like this back then, young and cute.

Finally, Harry was convinced. After a fierce ideological struggle, he agreed to the suggestions of his two friends.

But a new problem emerged: where should they practice spells? If they want to teach, they must have a place, right?

At this time, Godric, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.

"As for the venue, I do know one. Do you want to come with me to take a look?"

"Ok?"

……

While Harry and his friends were busy redeeming themselves, Les was also having routine meetings with members of his organization.

Among the information submitted by everyone, one piece caught Rice's attention.

"The Hall of Prophecy? Interesting." He raised his head and instructed the members of the organization sitting at the bottom of the long table: "Our next target is the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic."
