Chapter 253: Expected Attack

As time was getting later, Sirius looked at Minister Light, who was still reluctant to leave, and wanted to chase him away.

The laughter and joy outside the camp suddenly disappeared, replaced by countless screams of terror.

Minister Wright, who was the first to notice something was wrong, smiled slightly and remotely controlled the bird to start searching.

Sirius and Lupin, who later realized what was wrong, told everyone not to act rashly.

The two of them looked at each other, and Sirius came over and said to Minister Wright, who was refusing to leave:

"Minister Fudge, we need to go out and check the situation. You see..."

"Okay, okay! I'll go too. After all, I'm the Minister of Magic too!"

After saying this, Minister Wright ran out without waiting for their reaction.

Minister Wright was unexpectedly so impulsive, and Sirius and Lupin quickly followed suit and rushed out.

Seeing this, Harry couldn't help himself and ran out.

"Harry!"

Hermione screamed and ran out too!

"Harry, Hermione!"

Seeing his friends running out, Ron gritted his teeth and rushed out of the tent as well.

"what?!"

Mr. Weasley reacted and quickly stopped the people who wanted to run out with him.

After instructing Regulus and Mrs. Weasley to look after the children, he ran out.

There was a lot of chaos outside the tent, with people screaming and running in panic.

A group of black-robed people wearing black hoods and masks covering their faces were setting fires everywhere and attacking the surrounding tents with magic wands.

There were also a few men in black robes, pointing their wands above their heads.

There were several struggling figures in the air, their limbs constantly twisting, and sharp creaking sounds could be heard continuously.

"Expelliarmus! Fall unconscious..."

Sirius and Lupin just came out of the tent and saw this scene.

He knocked down the black-robed men in front of him very quickly and rescued the ravaged wizard from the air.

Then they saw Minister Wright in the rioting crowd, who seemed to be waiting for them not far away.

When Sirius and Lupin were about to catch up, he sped away again.

Harry, Hermione and Ron saw the shadows of Sirius and Lupin in the distance and followed them.

Knowing the coming east wind, he arranged the birds around the woods early on.

Using the bird's tracking ability, Minister Wright quickly found the elf Winky at the edge of the woods.

It was stumbling towards the depths of the woods, seemingly dragging a huge bag behind it.

After finding the target, Minister Wright quickly caught up.

Outside the woods, a faint black mist emerged and obscured his figure, and he followed into the jungle.

Quietly following behind the elf Shanshan, sensing through his own powerful magic.

He could sense that the magic in Barty Crouch Jr. was gradually weakening.

At this time, Barty Crouch Jr. was being dragged, his expression sometimes confused, sometimes hateful, and sometimes sad.

Amidst a mixture of emotions, his body continued to struggle, trying to break free from the restraints and to return to the camp.

As Barty Jr.'s emotions and body continued to struggle, the magic covering him quickly faded.

Soon, when he regained all his memories and sanity, Little Barty raised the wand in his hand high.

With an extremely cold voice, he shouted loudly: "The corpse reappears!"

A green light shot up into the sky and exploded directly in the dark air.

Countless emerald green spots of light formed a huge skull, and a huge green snake emerged from the skull's mouth like a wriggling tongue.

"Dark Mark!"

Seeing this scene that they hadn't seen for a long time, Sirius and Lupin didn't say anything and hurriedly speeded up.

He planned to forcibly bring the Minister of Magic back first to prevent him from being captured.

The moment the Dark Mark rose, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

Just as more and more Aurors or strikers were moving towards the place where the Dark Mark was launched.

Harry and the other two also rushed towards the most conspicuous area in the chaos.

Shortly after Barty Jr. sent out the Dark Mark, the Death Eaters who came after seeing the signal encountered Sirius and Lupin face to face.

Fortunately, the two of them cooperated very well. Although they were at a disadvantage, they were able to barely fight against a group of wizards.

With the arrival of subsequent Auror reinforcements, the Death Eaters who were causing trouble in the camp immediately dispersed.

Sensing that the incident was gradually coming to an end, Minister Wright no longer hid his intentions and directly took out his wand:

"Collapse!!"

Before the house-elves Winky and Little Barty could make any move, two spells sent them into a deep sleep.

Minister Wright looked at Barty Crouch Jr., who was still wearing an invisibility cloak with only his head showing.

The faint black mist that covered the body then wrapped around the hands.

Then he walked up to Little Batty, directly extracted his spiritual body, and began to operate.

When the reinforcements of Aurors and strikers arrived, the Death Eaters around the woods also scattered.

Sirius and Lupin, who did not try to stop him, rushed over first and reached the edge of the woods.

Harry, Hermione and Ron followed closely because they were not fighting.

Immediately afterwards, more than ten or twenty Aurors surrounded them.

He also pointed his wand at Sirius, Lupin, Harry, Hermione and Ron who were standing at the edge of the woods!

At this time, Mr. Weasley's extremely anxious voice came from behind all the Aurors:

"Stop, stop everyone!"

"That's my child. I'm the Director of the Department of Muggle Affairs. Please stop."

Several Aurors stopped Mr. Weasley who was about to rush over.

One of the strikers stared closely at the five people standing in front of the woods and asked loudly:

"Who released the Dark Mark!"

Sirius and Lupin lowered their wands, protecting the extremely frightened Harry and the other two behind them, and shouted:

"I don't know! It's not us. We just got here too."

"do not lie!"

A serious old man with short grey hair walked out from the group of Aurors. The striker who had just been asking questions saw the newcomer and saluted respectfully:

"Chief Barty Crouch!"

Barty Crouch Sr. nodded to indicate that he would respond later.

His expression was extremely cold and serious. He kept scanning the surrounding scene and asked in a cold voice:

"Who among you did this?"

"If it wasn't you, then who on earth sent out the Dark Mark?"

Sirius, who was once again facing injustice, did not choose to remain silent, but directly refuted:

"Not us, we just got here too!"

But Old Batty's tone was still cold and hard, and he asked sharply:

"Not you? You were found at the crime scene, Sirius, you just…"

"What a great official authority!"

"Director Crouch, in a few days, I will be the Minister of Magic and you will be the one to take over."
