Chapter 118 116. Three battlefields
In the hall of the Ministry of Magic, the witches and wizards who were originally dealing with affairs were leaving quickly.
No one dared to stay here for too long, even though the old man sitting in the chair in the center had never had any record of killing anyone, he didn't dare to let others Watch here.
The chair under Dumbledore was of course not given to him by someone. Even if some of these people still had a good impression of him, none of them had the courage to stand in front of so many people present. Express even the slightest intimacy with him.
The wizard who was in charge of registering the wands and names of the visitors had already been **** on the ground, with his face facing the ground and his neck curled up. While pretending to be dead, he wanted to bury his whole head in the ground like an ostrich.
The chair was just under him.
The Auror Command reacted quickly. They quickly gathered their people through the fireplace and arrived at the entrance of the hall. Lucius Malfoy led the team himself. He saw An Ran sitting in the middle of the hall, as if he was in his own living room A contented old man, his face was as dark as if he had been smeared with ashes.
He commanded the Aurors to divide into two waves, guarding the exit and entrance of this hall respectively, surrounding Dumbledore in the middle.
Everyone drew out their wands in anticipation, and aimed at the old man in the middle with hundreds of wands, but on the contrary, the hand holding the wand on the side with more people was trembling uneasily, and the forehead was bulging. Khan, it's like being surrounded by hundreds of people instead of hundreds of people.
"Albus Dumbledore."
Lucius had a gloomy face, seeing the name of the old man on the seat, Dumbledore smiled and waved to him.
"Ha, it's been a long time, Lucius, my friend. I praised you before, but you see, my vision is still very accurate. Now you have become the leader of all Aurors."
Lucius stared into Dumbledore's eyes, he didn't smile, but asked with extremely cold eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, "Of course I came to meet my greatest student, what? Didn't he mean to meet me?"
He was smiling, like an old man in a neighbor's house chatting about household affairs, and the magic wand in his hand twirled casually.
It was this moment that made most of the Aurors pointing their wands at him slow down their heartbeats, and swallowed subconsciously.
Lucius' face became even more ugly.
The current situation is not that they surrounded Dumbledore, but that Dumbledore came to the magic department and guarded them!
Before the Hogwarts battle seven years ago, he never felt that this seemingly harmless old man could pose any threat. He has never experienced his peak period, so such contempt is normal.
But after participating in that battle, especially when Lucius was so close to the battlefield in the Astronomy Tower, he almost watched the entire battle between the two top wizards in the magic world, which made him clear from the bottom of his heart. Recognized Dumbledore's horror.
Even if the old man loses in the end, it only proves that the one who won is more terrifying, not that he is weak.
Now if they really act, most of the tenth floor of the Ministry of Magic underground will be destroyed. It is impossible for Dumbledore to kill all of them, but he can leave safely after paralyzing the Ministry of Magic. go.
It was precisely because of this in his mind that Lucius was extremely nervous and apprehensive at this time. He didn't know what was going on outside at this time. He needed Dumbledore to come to the Ministry of Magic in person, and he didn't know that the Ministry of Magic was in Voldemort's heart. And these people in the Ministry of Magic, what is the weight in his heart at this time, and whether it is worth it for him to come here in person.
Just as the beads of sweat on Lucius' forehead slipped from his forehead, a voice that made him terrified and delighted suddenly sounded behind him.
"It's been a long time, Professor Dumbledore."
The handsome and extraordinary wizard with a tall and straight figure and sharp features came out from behind the Auror.
No one dared to stand in front of him, and every Auror standing here bowed to him in trepidation, lowered their heads, and shouted in unison.
"gentlemen!"
Dumbledore leaned against the back of the chair, crossed his hands and put his fingers on his knees. The smile on his face remained unchanged. He looked at the most powerful man in the magic world opposite him. He waved his hand, and someone moved him A chair came, and then all the Aurors present, including Lucius, retreated and left the hall, leaving only the teacher and student Dumbledore and Voldemort.
"Hogwarts, Azkaban, and the Ministry of Magic, you still know me as before, and you know that this is the only place I can't let go of." Voldemort looked calmly into Dumbledore's eyes, "But I I'm still curious, how did you insert people into the other two places?"
Sirius and Lupine each carry a person on their backs.
Behind them were more than thirty Azkaban prisoners in ragged clothes and emaciated faces!
At this time, they had rushed to the gate of this prison, and nearly 80% of the dementors on the entire island had gathered here.
Silver radiance flowed between them, and the overflowing light illuminated the entire gray and foggy castle.
But there are too many dementors gathered in front of the prison gate, they are almost endless, the dementors whose bodies are melted close to the silver light shrink back, and the dementors behind them push forward.
Deadly despair and joyful hope resisted, but the final result was that the escaped prisoners became more and more depressed.
Gritting his teeth, he protected the unconscious wizard behind him with one hand, preventing him from falling off his back, and raised his wand with the other hand.
"the last time!"
Lupine was also contrary to his usual gentleness and calmness. He roared and raised his wand high above his head, and the silver light flowed over them!
Every prisoner held up his magic wand just like him, and for a moment, the dazzling light swayed down like the scorching sun!
"Call God for protection!"
The incantations of countless Patronus Charms sounded together, the lights were condensing, and various animals stepped lightly in the air, leaving gorgeous silver flying debris, swooping down towards the dementors in front of the gate !
Wolf, dog, cow, chicken, fox, honey badger, goat. More than 30 patron saints rushed out a huge gap for them together!
The breath of freedom blows in. Outside the prison, Moody is leading dozens of other members of the Order of the Phoenix riding broomsticks to deal with the Death Eaters stationed on the island. The feet of these prisoners!
