Chapter 1129: change of weather

"The Jedi strikes back, and the Ministry of Magic wins."

"Scrimgeour—fighting fire with fire."

"Temporary policy adjustment during the Ministry of Magic war - no tolerance for dark wizards."

"Albert Anderson - The Youngest Master of Prophecy in History."

"Bloody wedding, who is the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Veritaserum will be used to vet prisoners."

"The most ruthless Minister of Magic ever."

"Another Dumbledore, the wizard who can't even mention his name."

That day, when the news of Scrimgeour leading the Aurors to defeat the Death Eaters spread through the major newspapers, the entire magical world was in an uproar, and Fudge, who was helping Scrimgeour with the election, was even more shocked.

Fudge suddenly understood why the other party was delaying the time. It turned out that it was for this reason. He took the position of Minister of Magic with the power of defeating the Death Eaters, and then he could save a lot of trouble.

All of this was Scrimgeour's plan. That guy had already discussed with that Anderson, and used the other party's wedding to set up a trap to lure the Death Eaters into taking the bait.

When you think about how all the guests going to the wedding are disguised as Aurors... it's no wonder that the Death Eaters would have a big downfall.

Eight were killed directly, and three Death Eaters were captured alive. Fudge also heard that the three Death Eaters survived because Scrimgeour planned to fine them.

To be honest, hearing this news, Fudge was completely stunned and fined the Death Eaters a lot.

Fine, really not extortion?

It never occurred to him that he would one day blackmail the Death Eaters.

And the reason Fudge knew the big news was because Scrimgeour hoped he could persuade the three hapless men to pay. Because the three Death Eaters are his old friends Malfoy, Crabbe and Carol, they are all relatively wealthy.

In Scrimgeour's terms, the Ministry of Magic was in dire need of a sum of money to buy Dark Arts protection for all Ministry employees.

Since the chaos was caused by the Death Eaters, they paid for it instead.

The robber's logic just confused Fudge.

Defense Against the Dark Arts?

Fudge had already heard about it from Percy, who was said to have run the shop with three friends.

It is said that the Defence Against the Dark Arts item has a very good response to the Aurors.

This... wait, Fudge suddenly understood.

This is obviously a cooperation between the two parties. He originally thought that the relationship between the Auror and that Anderson was not good, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Scrimgeour was obviously colluding with Anderson, and Scrimgeour's hand was very beautiful. He took the position of Minister of Magic directly, and also attracted a reliable ally. It is said that Scrimgeour is still attracting Dumbledore. With the Order of the Phoenix, Kingsley and Arthur were also asked to convince Harry Potter that the Savior would stand for him and support his course of action towards Death Eaters and Dark Wizards.

As for the guilt of using Veritaserum to torture prisoners, Fudge doesn't seem to care at all.

The problem is that Scrimgeour seems to be planning to use this to put a horrific dark wizardry to death.

If Harry Potter and Dumbledore both support him, after a wave of Veritaserum interrogation, it is really hard to imagine how many dark wizards who are captured will survive.

Fudge heard that Scrimgeour had already sent his family away and hid himself, and he was alone, ready to go head-to-head with Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

Really cruel.

And, not only ruthless to others, but also ruthless to yourself.

However, Scrimgeour might really change the bad situation in the wizarding world.

At this time, the door was knocked.

"Come in."

"minister…"

As soon as Percy spoke, Fudge interrupted him.

"Weasley, I've recommended you to Scrimgeour, and he's very satisfied with your abilities," Fudge said to Percy. Weasley went to find Harry Potter."

"Looking for Harry Potter?"

Percy was a little stunned. He was not surprised that he became the assistant to the new minister, because Albert had already helped him make predictions.

Percy was well aware of his next mission, which was to be the bridge between Scrimgeour and Albert.

Sometimes, Percy felt unbelievable. He didn't expect Scrimgeour to cooperate with Albert at all. The two sides had been very unhappy before, but Scrimgeour was willing to let go of his body, which surprised him.

However, seeing the current wave of hype, he suddenly understood why.

"Yes, Scrimgeour hopes that Harry Potter will support his follow-up policy against Death Eaters and Dark Wizards." Fudge handed a piece of parchment to Percy, reminding, "This is the process, Potter only needs to reveal Next time, just say a word."

"I agree that the Ministry of Magic has taken tough measures to deal with dark wizards. When facing these evil guys, you must not be lenient and show mercy, because that is irresponsible for yourself, your family, and everyone's lives." Percy read softly. Even he felt that the words on the parchment made sense.

Is this to make Harry Potter support the Ministry of Magic to directly kill those evil dark wizards?

Percy was aware of Scrimgeour's post-employment policies.

Scrimgeour apparently intended to have the Savior and Dumbledore endorse it and share his burden.

Otherwise, kill a large number of people, what will other people think.

Too cruel, and equally terrifying.

But if you don't do this, it's really hard to suppress the arrogance of Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

Percy felt that the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters ran into trouble at the wedding, completely annoyed Albert, so he told Scrimgeour something.

"What about the reporters?" Percy asked suddenly.

"Let the reporters come back tomorrow to interview the new minister," Fudge said impatiently, and he had business to do.

After a while, Fudge went to the courtroom alone, where ten Aurors were guarding three Death Eaters, all of whom looked a little stunned, as if they had just been forcibly injected with Veritaserum, Scrimgeour's assistant. They were writing something on the parchment, and when they saw Fudge come in, everyone nodded slightly towards him.

"How's it going?" Fudge asked.

"The charges have been made clear."

The assistant handed a few pieces of parchment and notes to Fudge, and then followed the Auror out of the courtroom temporarily, leaving room for them to communicate.

Fudge glanced at the incriminating evidence on the parchment, and then at the contents of the note. He couldn't help but shudder for a moment. He quickly regained his composure and looked at the old acquaintances who were locked in the iron cage.

After a long silence, Fudge said suddenly, "Scrimgeour asked me to convince you."

Lucius was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Convince us?"

"He asked me to ask you, if you want to die or go to Azkaban prison alive." Fudge glanced at the contents of the note and continued: "Actually, you are very lucky, at least you still have the chance to choose, a total of Eight Death Eaters were killed on the spot."

"What do we need to give?" Lucius Malfoy tried to calm himself.

"Gallen." Fudge flipped the parchment in his hand and introduced calmly: "Pay the fine according to your crime. Mr. Malfoy needs to pay a fine of fifty thousand Galleons, Mr. Crabbe is thirty thousand, Mr. Carroll Twenty thousand."

"You guys are outright robbery," Crabbe growled angrily.

"Actually, I feel the same way." Fudge showed a helpless expression and shrugged at the three of them, "But this is what Scrimgeour meant. Several Aurors died in battle. He was very angry and didn't let you guys directly. You died in battle because you were pure-blooded wizards and the crime was not serious. Fudge put away the parchment and reminded: "Don't look at me like that, I'm actually just a helper, you only have five minutes to consider. "

"What if we don't agree?" asked Lucius Malfoy.

"The Aurors outside will come in and help you die." Fudge took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time. "This is not a threat, Scrimgeour actually wants to kill you all. By the way, he asked me to give you the legend. In other words, there is hope in living.”

"Don't think about it, I promise to pay the fine," Lucius Malfoy said before Fudge left. "Are we going to be sentenced to life?"

"right."

"This new minister is really unusual!" Lucius said with emotion.

"You..." Crabbe turned to stare at Malfoy.

"Promise, there is hope if you live," Malfoy said to two of his colleagues. "What should we do next?"

"Write a letter to the family and ask them to pay the fine." Fudge was very satisfied with Malfoy's sense of current affairs, at least the task Scrimgeour gave him was successfully completed.

After persuading the three, Fudge called in the Aurors outside, and the Aurors would temporarily detain them in the Ministry of Magic, awaiting trial in two days.

In the meantime, if the Ministry of Magic fails to get the money, the three of them are not even eligible to be tried.

After completing the mission, Fudge went directly to Scrimgeour's office.

Although Scrimgeour has overwhelmingly elected the new minister, the appointment is tomorrow morning, so Scrimgeour is not using the minister's office.

"How's it going?" Scrimgeour asked.

"They've agreed to accept the fine," Fudge nodded.

"fine."

Pierce Hinckness asked suspiciously that he was the next head of the Magical Law Enforcement Division that Scrimgeour had ordered.

"Give those three lucky ones a chance to live," Scrimgeour explained calmly. "You know, the employees at the Ministry are uneasy about the situation, and we need to give them some security, and it will take a while. Pen Galleons to make it happen.”

"Guarantee? What kind of guarantee?"

"The Defence Against the Dark Arts props used by the Aurors are very effective. Our employees also need some. This requires a large amount of Galleons, and they happen to be rich, so they use Galleons to buy a chance to be imprisoned for life."

Sinkness's face twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

Who made Scrimgeour blackmail the Death Eaters?

Moreover, they are also going to use the blackmailed Kanon to benefit the employees of the Ministry of Magic. Although this kind of thing is unprecedented, but now is the time of war, and the enemy is not worthy of sympathy.

"Your mission has two tasks," said Scrimgeour grimly. "Hurry up and use the Veritaserum to judge the group of captured dark wizards to see if they are under the Imperius Curse."

Sinkenis could clearly feel the killing intent emanating from the new minister, but he still asked hard: "What if it was controlled by the Imperius Curse?"

"Wizards under the Imperius will spend the next long time in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. We will set up a prison there to hold these Imperius patients until They will be released when they fully recover." Scrimgeour said without hesitation: "Don't worry about using Veritaserum, at least we will give them a chance to reduce the number of innocent wizards dying."

"In addition, you need to reduce the number of dark wizards as much as possible. The most sinful must be sentenced to death, not put in Azkaban prison." Scrimgeour reminded again, "It's better to pull them out and kill them on the spot, don't leave them behind. any chance."

"But, will this..."

"Too cruel? No, if anyone has an opinion, we can arrange for them to have a good chat with the families who were killed by the dark wizards." Scrimgeour looked Sinkenis in the eyes and said, "Remember, forgive them for never It's not our job, we're only responsible for sending them to see those innocently killed by them, understand?"

"Understood?" Sinkenis couldn't help swallowing.

"Well, the main thing is that our prisons are not safe. Azkaban has had several escapes." Scrimgeour said without hesitation, "So, it is necessary for us to reduce the number of dark wizards. , lest someone rob the prison and let them out to harm other people."

"Where's the Death Eaters?" Sinkness couldn't help asking.

"Those of the Death Eaters, I don't think they will end well even if they escape. You-Know-Who is not a benevolent guy." Scrimgeour sneered. uukanshu.com "And, if they escape again, I will order the Aurors to kill them the next time they meet."

Pierce Sinkenis nodded stiffly in agreement.

"By the way, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to," said Scrimgeour suddenly.

"What's up?"

"Your safety."

"My safety concerns?"

"Yes, if you want to disintegrate the Ministry of Magic, You-Know-Who will have to murder or control the upper echelons of the Ministry of Magic. It is necessary for us to make sure that the higher echelons are not controlled by the Imperius Curse." Scrimgeour continued: "Next, we need to introduce a war effort. time."

At this time, the office was ringing.

Arthur Weasley pushed open the door and walked in, looking at everyone in the office in astonishment.

"Arthur, you will be appointed as the director of the Office of Reconnaissance and Collection of Counterfeit Defense Spells and Protective Equipment. This appointment will take effect tomorrow." Scrimgeour said straight to the point: "Recently, the mysterious man has made everyone People are panicking, there are people all over Diagon Alley making some weird stuff to sell for money, I don't want to see those things, and the Ministry of Magic will be ordering a batch of Defence Against the Dark Arts items, I need you to be able to talk to the store Communicate, get a good internal price for the Ministry of Magic, and cooperate with the Aurors to check the finished product. Of course, we will be ordering in large quantities, and it would be better if they can develop something specifically for our needs.”

Arthur Weasley was a little stunned. After receiving the transfer document handed over by Scrimgeour, he was stunned.

Because the Defense Against the Dark Arts items were actually made by the shop opened by Fred and George.

"Next, you have an urgent task, go to Harry Potter with Kingsley and Assistant Minister Weasley, and convince the other party to support the Ministry of Magic's follow-up policy against Death Eaters and Dark Wizards, Dumbledore's side I'll discuss it with him myself."
