Chapter 1286 War is not a child’s play
It's always right to be cautious. After all, human lives are at stake, so don't regret it later.
If Bill and Fleur's wedding could be as careful and cautious, perhaps there wouldn't be so many messes as there are now.
It’s a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world.
After completing the preliminary arrangements, the three of them did not plan to return to the Order of the Phoenix headquarters. Instead, they planned to find an empty house in a nearby Muggle village for a short rest, and see if they could contact Kingsley and get some useful information from him. information.
The most difficult thing about this rescue mission is actually only two points:
Find out if the Death Eaters plan to imprison Mr. and Mrs. Weasley in Azkaban Prison, and determine when they plan to do so.
If the intelligence is wrong, they will just waste their time.
As for the dark wizards who sent the Weasleys to Azkaban, they were not a problem. Since Albert now had the strength to crush most wizards, he could easily deal with them.
While resting and talking about sorting out the plan, Sirius also contacted Kingsley.
Kingsley was worthy of being an elite Auror trained by the Ministry of Magic. He soon got the exact information from a former colleague: Arthur and Molly were indeed sent to the Ministry of Magic, not only them, but also those who Guests who did not escape and were caught were also sent to the Ministry of Magic for interrogation. Only a small number of pure-blood wizards enjoyed the treatment of being released directly. The remaining unlucky ones all enjoyed the detention package, and the Weasleys were even more severely punished. Strictly interrogated.
Ron is Harry Potter's best friend, Fred and George are Albert's best friends, the dark magic defense items sold by the twins have caused them a lot of trouble, and most importantly, Wei Mr. and Mrs. Sly were both members of the Order of the Phoenix and had sheltered Harry Potter more than once. If they were not unlucky, who would be?
If Alecto Carrow had not proposed to Voldemort that the Weasleys should be used as a trap to lure Potter, Weasley or members of the Order of the Phoenix, the Weasleys would have been killed by Voldemort on the spot, but as As punishment for the Weasleys' support of Harry Potter, Voldemort killed the Weasleys' second son, Charlie, in front of them.
“The Ministry of Magic has completely fallen?” Albert looked strange.
Generally, it is difficult to do this in a short period of time. Most wizards resist and hate mysterious people and Death Eaters. Even if they do not have the courage to stand up and resist, there are still many things that can cause trouble for them.
However, the Death Eaters took control of the Ministry of Magic within hours of Scrimgeour's death.
"After all, they are just following orders. They followed Scrimgeour's orders to fight against the mysterious man and the Death Eaters. Now that Scrimgeour is dead, it is not surprising that they now follow the orders of the new minister Pierce Thicknesse." Moody There was a strong sense of sarcasm in his words.
"Could he be controlled by the Imperius Curse? I remember that Pierce Thicknesse seemed to be one of Scrimgeour's supporters." Sirius felt that the current new minister should just be an unlucky guy controlled by the Imperius Curse, something like There are countless cases.
“Perhaps, Thicknesse is indeed controlled by the Imperius Curse, but that guy is definitely a loser.”
How could Moody, who had been at the Ministry of Magic for decades, not know the virtues of Thicknesse?
“He probably joined the Death Eaters after being controlled by the Imperius Curse.”
"If I were him, I would do that. In this era, only wallflowers can live well. After all, Scrimgeour is dead, what can he do if he doesn't join the Death Eaters? It's better to find an excuse for yourself. , no matter who wins in the end, his situation won't be too bad, and he is not responsible for anything he does after being controlled by the Imperius Curse."
Albert can understand Thicknesse's approach very well. It is obviously unrealistic to expect everyone to stand up against the mysterious man like the members of the Order of the Phoenix.
Living in such a bad era, protecting themselves and their families is the most important thing for most British wizards. One cannot say who is at fault, because no one is at fault at all. They just "pinned" their hopes on the savior, hoping that Harry could defeat the mysterious man!
It’s really thanks to Harry Potter who won in the end and led them to a victory, otherwise God knows what the British Ministry of Magic would have become.
“So, he still didn’t understand the most important news!”
It’s really thanks to Albert’s divination, otherwise they would probably have been kept in the dark.
"I asked him to bring a map from the Ministry of Magic." Moody said suddenly.
Since the Human Traces Curse can take effect in Hogwarts, there should be no problem with the Ministry of Magic. Then we will be able to find out the situation inside the Ministry of Magic through the Marauder's Map.
"This is a good idea. Why didn't we think of it just now?" Sirius turned to look at Albert. He was actually more surprised that Albert had not thought of using this method to monitor the Ministry of Magic.
"The Traces Curse can actually be blocked." Although Albert said this, he also agreed with Moody's proposal. Most wizards would never have thought that someone would use this method to monitor the Ministry of Magic.
However, there is a saying that plans cannot keep up with changes. Before Kingsley arrived with the map, Albert's left wrist lit up with a dazzling red light, instantly attracting the attention of the other two people.
"what happened?"
“The ship has set off.” Albert said softly, “It’s earlier than I expected!”
"Are we going to intercept them now?" Sirius frowned slightly, "But Dobby hasn't brought the broomstick for us yet."
Without broomsticks, they would not be able to fly, let alone intercept the Ministry of Magic ship heading to Azkaban.
Albert took out his pocket watch and checked the time, then waved his wand to summon Dobby out of thin air. He was really not satisfied with the efficiency of the other party.
With a crackling sound, Dobby the house elf appeared out of thin air.
“Where’s the broomstick?” Albert asked with a frown.
“Harry Potter…”
"That's enough Dobby, I don't have time to listen to your explanation now. You have thirty seconds before I want to see the flying broomstick." Albert guessed what was going on and felt very helpless. Why are there so many people who can't figure it out? situation guy.
“What’s going on?” Sirius asked with a frown.
"Maybe other people asked Dobby, which delayed the matter." Albert turned his head and said to the two of them, "It's time for you to train everyone carefully. This is a war, not a child's play. So many people have died. , can’t we make them clearly realize that this is a war?”
“I will.” Sirius was silent for a moment and nodded.
"You can't expect everyone to be as resolute as you." Moody sighed. If everyone else could be like Albert, maybe Scrimgeour wouldn't be blocked by Voldemort.
While the three were talking, the house elf Dobby appeared in front of the three with Kingsley and several broomsticks.
“Sorry sir…”
“Follow up first, and we’ll talk about other things on the way.”
Albert took the broom from Kingsley and walked outside.
"what happened."
Kingsley hurriedly followed, he was still confused.
"The ship heading to Azkaban has been launched." Sirius quickly explained, "Arthur and the other captured people may be on that ship. We are going to intercept it now and rescue the others."
