Chapter 597 I propose... to add the death penalty!

Scrimgeour was silent.

The ones who should really compensate for the loss of the Prophecy Hall should be Voldemort and those damn Death Eaters who destroyed it.

Perhaps Harry, who was supposed to be studying at Hogwarts Castle but accidentally broke into the Department of Mysteries, also had some responsibility, but they had already escaped with the Portkey.

But in front of him, Lin En, who was sincerely offering compensation, was the one he could not claim compensation for anyway.

After all, the destruction of the Prophecy Hall had nothing to do with Linn. What's more, Linn also saved the lives of everyone here. If Linn and Irina hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid they would all have died at the hands of Voldemort.

Just when Scrimgeour was in a dilemma, Old Barty spoke: "The loss of the Prophecy Hall has nothing to do with you or everyone at Hogwarts. It is caused by the negligence of the Ministry of Magic's defense. So many Death Eaters broke into the mysterious Affairs Department, but the Ministry of Magic did not receive any information. This is a failure of the Ministry of Magic.”

Old Barty generously took responsibility for the Ministry of Magic, which made Scrimgeour somewhat impressed.

You know, Fudge, the former Minister of Magic, would always shirk responsibility when encountering anything. Even if it was indeed the Ministry of Magic's fault, Fudge would do everything possible to frame it on others.

But their current minister, Barty Crouch Sr., is willing to admit his mistakes.

Old Barty looked at Scrimgeour and said: "Director Scrimgeour, after the battle in the Department of Mysteries, I think you have discovered that the Silent Man alone may not be enough to protect the safety of the Department of Mysteries."

"Therefore, I plan to send Aurors to sit in the Department of Mysteries. Director Scrimgeour, I need you to come up with a charter. As for this proposal, I will raise it at the Ministry of Magic tomorrow."

Old Batty said so.

After hearing Old Barty's words, Scrimgeour, who was originally a little worried about Old Barty's rise, finally showed admiration and respect.

Scrimgeour nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Minister Crouch."

Old Barty looked at Lynn again. There were outsiders present, so he could only say in a businesslike tone: "Mr. Rowle, thank you and Miss Lowell for your help. The Ministry of Magic will remember your contribution. In addition, I will Let the Daily Prophet report what is happening here as it is.”

The dynamic images published in the Daily Prophet, in addition to those taken by reporters with magic cameras, can also be images extracted from the memories of wizards.

So they don't have to worry about what's going on here being swept under the rug.

The truth will eventually be revealed, and after Barty Sr. became the Minister of Magic, it became much easier to make the truth known to the public.

Lynn smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Minister Crouch. If there is nothing else, Irina and I will go ahead?"

Naturally, the mess here was left to the Ministry of Magic to clean up. Lynn and Irina had no intention of continuing to get involved. After complimenting each other a few times, the two returned to Hogwarts Castle on any portkey.

After everyone in the Department of Mysteries had dispersed, it was midnight.

Everyone who returned to Hogwarts Castle could not bear the physical and mental exhaustion no matter how much they had on their minds, so they fell into a deep sleep on the soft big bed in the dormitory.

For these students living in the ivory tower, the most thrilling thing they have ever experienced was just an illusion test in the illusion array refined by Lin En.

No matter how real and immersive the illusion was, they all knew it was fake.

Even if they were subjected to dozens of Avada Kedavra curses during the illusion test, it would all be fake, and they would not truly die.

But in just one day, they experienced the turning points in their lives - the O.W.Ls exam, and broke into the Department of Mysteries to fight real Death Eaters.

Finally, they met the Dark Lord Voldemort, who once brought darkness to the British wizarding world and brought death and fear to countless wizards, and survived Voldemort's killings.

They just felt that this day was more exciting and thrilling than their entire lives.

The next day, the Ministry of Magic.

The matter about the battle in the Department of Mysteries has been published in the Daily Prophet in the morning. All wizards who subscribed to the Daily Prophet saw the report on the battle in the Department of Mysteries that morning.

The wizards in the British wizarding world were horrified by the reappearance of Voldemort, and were delighted that Irina had become the second genius witch in history to be promoted to the level of a demon king at the age of fifteen.

After seeing Irina cut off Voldemort's body with the purple-gold moonlight transformed from the Ziwei Hanxing, uncontrollable cheers could be heard in countless wizard residences in the British wizarding world.

Voldemort's power is undeniable. Even Dumbledore, who is known as the greatest white wizard of this century, was only able to draw a tie with Voldemort in the few known battles with him. And cannot defeat it.

Even Lynn, who repelled Voldemort in the Battle of Little Hangleton Village, was not able to inflict such severe damage to Voldemort.

This made the wizards in the British magical world highly admire Irina's magical power, and spontaneously dubbed Irina the "Savior of the New Era".

Now, the senior officials who came to the Ministry of Magic and the members of the Wizengamot had all seen the contents of the Daily Prophet, and the attack on the Department of Mysteries also made them feel panicked.

Even though Voldemort and the Death Eaters who broke into the Department of Mysteries have been driven away by Lynn and Irina, they clearly know that Barty, the Minister of Magic who just took office yesterday, will definitely use this matter to do something. article!

There are three things that a new official should do when he takes office. The three things that Old Batty set personally, only one of them has been burned now!

Although Old Barty had said before that the second and third fires would be lit in a week, the moment when the Department of Mysteries was attacked was obviously the best time to light these two fires.

Just as these senior officials of the Ministry of Magic thought, after Old Barty came to the main seat and told the process of the war in the Department of Mysteries and his proposal to send Aurors to guard the Department of Mysteries, he became ignited. The second fire.

"According to the survey data of the Auror Office, in just one year, nearly 40% of the dark wizards in all corners of the British wizarding world have joined Voldemort's command and joined the Death Eaters' camp."

"Those dark wizards are rushing to join the Death Eater camp, but they are not afraid of arrest by the Ministry of Magic! They are arrogant, arrogant, and ignore the authority of the Ministry of Magic. Why is this?!"

"I thought about it and finally came to the conclusion that they believe that even if we catch them, we can't do anything to them. Azkaban prison for life? That prison for Voldemort to come and go with ease, It is no longer a place that Death Eaters fear."

"We cannot punish them, we cannot let them receive the punishment they deserve, and we cannot give an explanation to the people who have been harmed by the Death Eaters! This is an important reason why those dark wizards join the Death Eaters without any scruples!"

"Therefore, I, the Minister of Magic, Barty Crouch, propose... the introduction of the death penalty!"

Old Batty lowered his head slightly, a sharp edge flashed in his shrewd eyes, which was obscured by his folded hands.
