Chapter 162 160. Tombstone stained with sin and blood
Temporary member meeting, the circular conference room was full of wizards.
The three wizards who hold the highest authority in the French magic world, the Minister of Magic, the Speaker of the Wizarding Council, and the Wizarding Justice, sat in the only gap in the circular meeting room, facing everyone's direction.
This meeting room is not a closed room, it is surrounded by glass walls, and the outside is the office hall of the French Ministry of Magic.
Almost all visitors to the Ministry of Magic will pass by here, so every process in the meeting will not be concealed, and anyone can watch. Only the most important meetings in the French Ministry of Magic will use this meeting room to show the release of various the fairness of this policy.
At this time, the glass wall was already surrounded by wizards, and there were many magic newspaper reporters with cameras, and the flashes were continuously lit.
Throughout the history of the French magic world, the interim parliamentary meeting was seldom convened. It was only when the wizard justice and more than 70% of the wizard court judges believed that the current Minister of Magic was harmful to the French magic world. will be held.
During the period, all wizard councilors will judge and vote on the current minister of magic to determine whether the current minister will stay or not.
The current minister of the Ministry of Magic, Eric Amalek, has only been in office for more than a year, and it has already been his turn. No minister in history has such an "honor" like him.
Facing such an embarrassing situation, in the eyes of some councilors, Amalek still sat on the chair as if nothing had happened, pinching his fingernails boredly.
This caused a lot of discussion in the conference room, and even the French wizards who were watching outside the glass wall frowned and pointed at their ministers.
Naturally, Roland presided over the meeting.
She maintained order in the entire venue, and then stated all the crimes Amalek had committed during his tenure as minister.
Surprisingly, her speech is not a long speech, and it can even be called short.
But this does not affect the final result in the slightest. Not to mention the Ministry of Magic, there are already many wizards in the outside world who are dissatisfied with the political attitude of the current minister.
Pure-bloods all know that he just wants to make money for his own interests, but in fact it does not have any substantial help for the promotion of blood superiority theory in France.
Muggle factions even dislike his attitude of publicly praising pure bloodism. Simply put, his removal is what the people want.
So when the final vote was made, more than 90% of the MPs agreed to expel him from the Ministry of Magic. From this moment on, Amalric was no longer the Minister of the French Ministry of Magic.
Outside the glass wall, the wizards watching were jubilant, and the reporters hurriedly took the photos in their cameras, wanting to return to the newspaper office as soon as possible to be the first reporter of this news.
However, just as some members of the council were about to leave in the conference room, the reporter from the newspaper was about to leave.
Roland cleared his throat, and said loudly with the unresolved Amplifying Charm.
"Now that the resolution to expel Amalek has been passed, we can now enter the second topic of this meeting."
Everyone who heard her words fell silent, and those councilors who were about to leave found that most of the councilors in the conference room hadn't moved at all. They seemed to have known it in advance and were waiting for Roland to announce the second topic. .
Next to Roland, the speaker of the parliament, Gerald Caso, who was also preparing to get up, was stunned. He turned his head and frowned at Roland, and just wanted to ask in a low voice, what is the second topic, and why he was not informed before At that moment, Roland's calm voice echoed throughout the conference room.
"It is impossible for the Ministry of Magic to have no Minister of Magic. The second topic is about the election of new ministers."
The pot exploded after her voice fell outside the glass wall, but there was a strange silence in the conference room. A few members looked at Roland in shock, and some even wondered if she had been under some kind of forgetting spell. Of course, the Minister of Magic has to be re-elected, but it is impossible now.
Gerald Cassel's brows frowned even tighter. He stared at the woman in front of him who suddenly made him feel a little strange, and then looked around the conference room where most of the councilors sat in their positions very calmly. , A very, very bad premonition suddenly rose in my heart!
"Let me propose a candidate first." Roland said loudly, "As we all know, the French magic world is not stable now, and all wizards are arguing endlessly about what kind of future we should choose for the land we live in. The more we get to this time, the more we need a leader who can truly lead us to a bright future!"
Her words silenced the entire conference room, while outside the conference room, most Muggle wizards became excited.
After listening to Roland's speech, they thought that she wanted to use this opportunity to run for the post of Minister of Magic, and she has always been known in the wizarding world for fighting for the rights of Muggle wizards, and she has attracted a large number of elite Muggle wizards , are doing secret work for her.
But her next sentence made all the wizards watching outside the glass wall open their mouths.
"In France, I haven't seen a wizard with such ability. Looking around us, there is only one person who is qualified to be our leader—the greatest gentleman who is leading the British magic world to glory!"
She glanced at the stunned Muggle wizards with contempt, and said in a calm voice.
"Now the voting begins, please raise your hand if you agree with that gentleman to be the Minister of Magic."
In the conference room, more than 80% of the councilors raised their hands without hesitation, while the rest of the councilors looked blankly at their colleagues, while others blushed with anger. , They pointed at Roland's nose and began to curse.
"You are betraying the interests of all French wizards!"
"I suggest that Adele Roland be screened for the Imperius Curse! She is being controlled by those demons in England!"
"This time the vote is invalid! The minister's elected members have no right to vote! Apart from letting people see your hypocrisy, this meeting is meaningless!"
The outside of the glass wall also began to boil, and the Muggle wizards only reacted at this time, but Roland's voice still did not change in the slightest.
"The vote is passed, let us welcome the new owner of the future French Ministry of Magic, a great gentleman!"
The moment her voice fell, black mist filled the meeting room, and those congressmen who had no knowledge of today's events all fell powerlessly on their chairs.
Outside the glass wall, some clever people had already started to run outside the Ministry of Magic, while most people still looked at the man who appeared in the center of the conference room with disbelief on their faces!
"Good evening, everyone."
He sat in the chair in the center with grace, and after saying good night with a smile, he leaned on the back of the chair and supported his head with one hand, looking at the congressmen with encouragement in his eyes.
"I have always been very democratic, whether in the UK or in France, if someone has an opinion on me, you can raise it now."
An old congressman suddenly stood up from his chair.
"Dark Lord! France will never submit to your rule!"
"Avada Kedavra!"
In a burst of exclamation, Amalric, the former Minister of Magic who had been resigned, cast a death-defying curse on the old wizard in public!
No one could react at all. The old Muggle wizard who was highly respected among the councilors just fell to the ground with an unbelievably weak face.
"Oh, maybe everyone misunderstood what I said."
Voldemort smiled.
"Mudblood, to me, he is not considered a human being."
The night wind blew the jet-black hair on Sirius' body, he stared at the mouse that was running wildly in front of him, his bloodshot eyes could no longer accommodate any other creatures!
But Wormtail has a small body and quick reflexes. Lily and Lupine's spells basically landed on the dirt beside it, causing no direct damage to it.
And just as Lily lowered the handle of the broom with a gloomy face, and began to accelerate at low altitude, trying to fly in front of Wormtail to stop him, a "dark cloud" suddenly enveloped their heads!
Wormtail, who was running forward, became excited.
He rolled on the ground, and then turned into a tall, thin, bald wizard, waving at the black-robed Aurors and Death Eaters in mid-air!
"It's me! Pettigrew Peter! I have completed the task of the master! Come and save me!"
However, his call for help did not receive any response. The wizards flying in the sky seemed to have never seen the situation underground, and continued to move forward without looking back, flying towards the direction of the Hogwarts carriage.
The originally excited expression on Wormtail's face began to turn into astonishment, but Sirius, who had been following behind him, didn't stop his steps!
He jumped up from the ground without hesitation, and his huge body threw Wormtail to the ground on the spot!
Lily and Lupine looked at each other at the same time, their brows were furrowed, but without any hesitation at all, they turned around and headed back to where the carriage stopped.
"Don't kill him so easily!"
Before leaving, Lily left a last sentence for Sirius who had already started biting at the howling Wormtail.
She and Lupine hadn't been completely blinded by hatred yet, knowing that the carriage needed their protection more now, not to mention that with Sirius around, it was impossible for Wormtail to have another chance to escape.
The carriage has completely disappeared in this wilderness.
The wizards of the Order of the Phoenix kept these Aurors and Death Eaters firmly out of their blockade!
There was a gap of nearly five times in the number of the two sides, but Dumbledore almost suppressed all the wizards of the other side with just one person.
The red flames reflected half of the sky into a sea of flames, and the black-robed wizards had no way to break through half a step forward.
The incantation sounded again and again, and people in the sky began to fall from the broomstick constantly, and then there were also people who were rescued by their companions again and again.
This battle lasted until midnight, and finally ended with the Death Eaters retreating.
In other words, their original purpose was not to defeat the Order of the Phoenix with Dumbledore, but to prevent him from interfering with their master's plans on other important occasions at such a critical moment.
As for the Hogwarts carriage, it will give Dumbledore an extra surprise.
The wizards of the Order of the Phoenix cleaned up the battlefield left behind. As long as it is a war, it is impossible for there to be no undead, but under the protection of Dumbledore, they were lucky to lose only two people this time, most of the others Just hurt.
McGonagall, who had a big hole in the cuff of his robe, looked at Dumbledore worriedly.
"Is there nothing wrong with the students?"
Dumbledore was pouring Fox's tears on Arthur's shattered thigh, and said softly.
"Trust them, Jon never let any of us down."
They didn't stay here any longer, but after cleaning up the battlefield, they used Apparition together and left from this field.
The next moment, all the Wizards of the Order of the Phoenix appeared together on the cliff by the sea.
The waves beat against the rocks.
Wizards buried the two dead companions here, while Lily Lupine and Sirius grabbed a trapped wizard and came to two tombstones, one large and one small.
Wormtail, who had returned to his original chunky appearance, cried and howled, writhing his blood-stained body constantly.
"Lupine! Sirius! Lily! My friend! Forgive me! I beg you! Forgive me! I was forced! It was the Dark Lord who forced me! I couldn't resist that!"
"How dare you call us by our names!" growled Sirius, waving his wand, "Crucio!"
The Unforgivable Curse stimulated Wormtail's soul, and his screams even covered the sound of the wind and waves. Wizards from the Order of the Phoenix looked at him, but no one showed any sympathy.
"Master, save me, I'm doing my best and don't leave my master"
He curled up on the ground, stretched and collapsed, begging and praying, but got no response.
Lupine kicked him in the face, so that he was facing the two tombstones in front of him.
"Look at these two! Peter Pettigrew! Look at them!"
Wormtail was forced to lift his face, and he saw the names on the two tombstones, one big and one small.
【James Potter】【Harry Potter】
"Remember them? Wormtail, do you remember them?"
Lily didn't scream, didn't roar, but asked in that weird, extremely calm voice.
Snot and tears were left all over Wormtail's face. He was still howling in pain, but the sound of pain was still mixed in. It was not known if it was a sincere confession or an attempt to survive.
“.I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. It’s my fault.”
Lily was expressionless. She tapped a branch next to her with the magic wand in her hand, and a sharp blade gleaming with cold light was formed in the next second.
Wormtail's body trembled even more violently, his whole body was shaking like a sieve.
“.I’ve already apologized. Lily have pity on me. I don’t want to die”
Lily held the sharp knife.
"I accept your apology."
She aimed at Wormtail's chest.
"But whether James and Harry accept it, you need to ask them yourself."
She stabbed down hard.
"Poof!"
Scarlet warm liquid sprayed out, and the cold sea breeze blew the robes of everyone here.
The moonlight of hatred and hatred illuminates the two tombstones stained with sin and blood.
