Chapter 1277 The Fall of the Ministry of Magic
"According to the latest information we received from Gadwin Robards, Director of the Auror Office, the current Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, accepted Kingsley Shacklebolt's proposal not long ago and secretly transferred most of the Aurors We were sent to attend the wedding of the Weasley family. We believe that Harry Potter is very likely to appear at the wedding. It is said that he has a close relationship with the Weasley family..."
Before attacking the Ministry of Magic, Yaxley was doing a temporary mobilization with the remaining Death Eaters.
Today’s action is more of an accident.
If he hadn't suddenly received this important information from Piers Thicknesse, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement under his control, Yaxley would never have tried to persuade the Dark Lord to change his original plan and take advantage of the empty defense of the Ministry of Magic to directly Attack the Ministry of Magic, kill Scrimgeour, and take complete control of the Ministry of Magic.
Compared to the so-called savior Potter, Scrimgeour is the biggest enemy of the Death Eaters. If you count the Death Eaters who fell around you, almost all of them were ordered to be executed by that bastard. How could they not be shocked and angry?
Now, it’s finally time to settle the blood debt with Scrimgeour.
In order to make the whole plan go more smoothly, Yaxley also sent a small number of dark wizards to create chaos. They successfully destroyed the Big Ben on the Thames River in London and lured out a large part of the employees and Aurors of the Ministry of Magic.
After all, their goal is not to annihilate the Aurors and employees of the Ministry of Magic, but to kill Scrimgeour, and finally control the Ministry of Magic through a coup, and completely collapse the resistance within the Ministry of Magic. By then, even those Aurors will forced to surrender to them.
The plan went very smoothly. They almost invaded when the Ministry of Magic's defenses were at their most empty, and they encountered few obstacles. At least, after a few blind idiots fell, no one had the courage to resist.
Perhaps as Yaxley said, Scrimgeour never expected that they would dare to attack the Ministry of Magic openly.
In fact, not only Scrimgeour, but even the employees of the Ministry of Magic couldn't understand how the Death Eaters dared to do this, let alone how the Aurors and members of the crisis response team were indifferent to it?
Until everyone saw Voldemort appear at the Ministry of Magic, they were completely desperate.
Draco looked blankly at the Ministry of Magic, which was controlled by dark wizards, and felt the frightened looks cast by the Ministry of Magic employees around him. He lowered his eyes, bit his lip, and tried to contain the fear in his heart, trying not to look directly at it as much as possible. The Dark Lord.
"Master, our men have captured Scrimgeour." Yaxley said respectfully, "He tried to resist, but we have subdued him."
"You did a good job." Voldemort was very satisfied with Yaxley, "Tell me about your next plan."
"I have just used the Imperius Curse to control Gadwin Robards, and he is rushing to Weasley's wedding." The Dark Lord's compliment made Yaxley ecstatic, and he answered as he walked. The next plan, "Gadevon Robards will tell the Aurors what happened in the Ministry of Magic and help us recall the group of Aurors. Then others can take the opportunity to attack the chaotic wedding and capture Harry Potter." special."
As for the group of Aurors who rushed back, what should we do?
Yaxley was not worried. He believed that as long as Voldemort personally guarded the Ministry of Magic, those guys would not cause any trouble.
“I believe that as long as the master completely controls the Ministry of Magic, it will not be difficult to catch those bed bugs hiding in the mouse holes.”
"very good!"
Voldemort walked into the Minister of Magic's office after Yaxley opened the door.
Scrimgeour, the famous iron-blooded minister, was being bound to the office chair with a spell, staring blankly at the few people who suddenly broke in.
The moment he saw Scrimgeour, Voldemort frowned slightly. He always felt a sense of disharmony.
"We've just given Scrimgeour an antiemetic, but he doesn't know where Harry Potter is."
Walton McNeil bowed slightly to the Dark Lord. In order to retaliate against Scrimgeour, he tortured him, but except for some screams, he gained nothing.
"Who are you?"
Voldemort suddenly asked a question that puzzled the Death Eaters around him.
…
Voldemort's face instantly darkened, and he raised his wand to cast a spell on Scrimgeour.
The next moment, Scrimgeour's face melted like a candle, and after a while, a brand new face appeared in front of everyone.
This person is not Scrimgeour at all, but a dark wizard who was once captured by Scrimgeour.
At this moment, everyone realized that they had been deceived and deceived by Scrimgeour. The guy knew from the beginning that the Death Eaters would take the opportunity to attack the Ministry of Magic and kill him, so he specially prepared An impostor plans to take advantage of the situation and pretend to be dead.
"this…"
Yaxley couldn't help but widen his eyes, and a bad feeling came into his heart. He knew that he had messed up.
"Avada Kedavra!"
A green light hit the poor fake minister, completely ending his life.
The minister's office suddenly became eerily quiet. Feeling the anger of the mysterious man, the Eaters lowered their heads one after another.
No one dares to touch the Dark Lord's troubles unless he is impatient with life.
"Skrimgeour will definitely go to Weasley's wedding." Yaxley's voice was slightly trembling, and no one expected that Scrimgeour had actually used the entire Ministry of Magic as bait.
“That guy has long since discovered that we have sent people to the Ministry of Magic. He has set a trap from the beginning. The situation in the shack may not be optimistic!”
“Get a hold of the Ministry of Magic and don’t let me down again!”
Voldemort glanced at Yaxley and walked out with the other Death Eaters. They had no other choice now.
Scrimgeour must die!
Otherwise, similar things will definitely happen again, and they can no longer afford any losses.
Looking at the Dark Lord hurriedly leaving, Draco, who had just learned the news, leaned lightly against the wall and was stunned.
If this was a trap set by Scrimgeour, it is self-evident what the fate of the Death Eaters who went to capture Harry would be.
That guy with blood on his hands will never show mercy to Death Eaters.
And his father…
no!
Draco knew he had to inform his father, it was a trap from the beginning, but...Draco's legs couldn't stop shaking.
No one cares about Draco, no one thinks highly of this weakling, and no Death Eater recognizes Draco Malfoy as one of their own.
Even though the Dark Lord allowed the Malfoys and his sons to participate in Death Eater meetings, no one really took him seriously.
Draco finally conquered his fear.
Glancing at the figure rushing outside, Yaxley didn't take it to heart at all and started his work.
"Piers, I need you to take over the position of Minister of Magic and declare to the public that Scrimgeour died in the line of duty." Yaxley paused and continued to assign positions: "Umbridge resumed the position of Deputy Minister of Magic to assist Piers. Manage the Ministry of Magic. The position of Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement will be temporarily taken over by me..."
Yaxley accepted Umbridge's suggestion not to make too many changes for the time being to avoid touching the interests of others and arousing too many people's resistance, causing the Ministry of Magic to fall into complete chaos.
Umbridge, who has been involved in the Ministry of Magic for decades, obviously understands the Ministry of Magic better than most people, and Yaxley chose to accept her plan.
