The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 616
Knowing that Voldemort was going to terrorize Hogwarts, there was no reason for Ada and the Ministry of Magic not to get involved.On the one hand, it can attack the Death Eaters and weaken Voldemort's power, and on the other hand, it can once again establish the authority of the Ministry of Magic.

"Your Ministry of Magic is still strong," Ada said in a toothless manner, and she couldn't say it before Voldemort was completely wiped out.

After discussing with Thicknesses and Mr. Weasley, a small group of elite Aurors secretly stationed in Hogsmeade.

They are different from the Aurors who usually patrol Hogsmeade. The only thing these elites need to do is to keep an eye on Hogwarts and report back immediately if there is any trouble.

The reason why there is no large-scale stationing at Hogwarts and more careful protection of the school is mainly to prevent surprises, and also to prevent Voldemort's voice from east to west.

What if Voldemort came to use reverse thinking and yelled at Hogwarts on the surface, but in fact he wanted to capture the Ministry of Magic?The Ministry of Magic came out in full force, isn't it just right?

Once the Ministry of Magic falls, it is almost equivalent to being captured by the enemy, which is too bad for morale.

Voldemort and the Death Eaters will sweep away the previous decline, the wizarding world will fall into greater turmoil and uneasiness, and the hearts and courage that have been accumulated with great difficulty will also be dissipated.

Have to guard against, must guard against.That's why only a small group of elite Aurors were sent to Hogsmeade. As long as they keep an eye on the school, the ministry can rush to help Hogwarts at any time, and wipe out all future Death Eaters.

The Ministry of Magic is prepared to deal with emergencies at Hogwarts, and I believe the Order of the Phoenix is ​​also the same. The Death Eaters, one of the actionable protagonists, seem to be unprepared, and they have been slow to act.

As the days went by and the temperature gradually increased, there was nothing abnormal in the school, and there was no sign of a Death Eater even on Borgin Burke's side.It's as if the Death Eaters really took a high temperature vacation. They don't come out to make trouble, but instead make people more anxious and worry about their true intentions.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of June, and the Ministry of Magic was very lively on this day. The magnificent hall was crowded with people, various media from the magic world gathered together, and there were also members who stopped to watch and forgot to work.

A temporary platform was built in front of the Magic Brothers fountain, and Shinkenis, who was wearing a gilded robe, was standing on it, smiling all over his face.

Mr. Minister had just finished his speech and once again shouted the slogan "The Ministry of Magic is still strong".

In order to reassure the people and prevent the public from panicking, such press conferences have been held every month since Thickness took office.Mr. Minister will show the results of his recent work and inform the public that the Ministry of Magic is invincible, and you must have confidence in the Ministry.

But not every time there are so many people onlookers, so lively.The last time there were so many people crowded was when the International Federation of Wizards' review of Ada was announced.

At that time, because Ada was declared innocent, the Ministry of Magic would no longer want Ada. Thickness was sweating profusely from being questioned by reporters, and now Mr. Minister feels scared even thinking about it.

The reason why so many people have been called this time is because the Ministry has newly established an important organization-the Rapid Response Team.

Quick Reaction Teams, as the name suggests, are combat units that intervene on a very short time scale.The members of the team are composed of the elite of the Ministry, drawn from various departments, in order to deal with all emergencies in the magic world.

Of course, the main task at present is to fight against the Death Eaters and prevent their frequent harassment.

"...Yes, the future is difficult and tortuous, and our enemy is very powerful." Thickness said eloquently, "It is for this reason that we have established a rapid response team aimed at protecting people's lives and property. I believe that the rapid response team will become a sharp weapon to dispel the darkness, and we will definitely win the final victory..."

Following Thinknes' speech, the crowd of onlookers burst into applause. The media repeatedly pressed the shutters in their hands, dazzling flashlights flashed together, and puffs of purple smoke drifted out.

This is the case in the past, and Thickness sometimes cooperates with the media to take pictures, because his photo will appear on the front page.But today is different from the past, but murderous intentions are hidden in the bursts of smoke.

Suddenly someone emerged from the crowd. It was a short, grumpy man who was a reporter for the Daily Prophet, and it wasn't his first time attending a ministry press conference.

Only this time, instead of a camera, he was holding a wand.

"Avada Kedavra!" the short man yelled sharply, and the green light went straight to Shinkenis on the stage.

At the same time, the short man's accomplices also jumped out one after another. Some of them were media reporters present today, and some of them were ministry staff who were watching here.

These people have a clear division of labor, some are responsible for point killing the Aurors and strikers on the spot; some are responsible for indiscriminate attacks and causing more chaos.Obviously, this attack on the Ministry of Magic had been planned for a long time.

Fortunately, the Aurors had the armor produced by Weasley. Except for those who were directly hit by the Killing Curse, everyone else withstood the first wave of surprise attacks and launched a counterattack immediately.

As fierce fighting broke out in the hall, the petrified people finally reacted, and they ran away screaming in all directions in a mess.From time to time, someone uttered a scream after being hit by a spell, but someone couldn't even utter a scream.

If you fall at this time, no matter if you are hit by a spell, or you fall by yourself, there is almost no possibility of standing up.

The panicked crowd ran around like headless chickens, some ran towards the fireplace, trying to leave through the Floo powder; some ran towards the lobby where the elevator was located, probably seeking shelter.

Those who had just run to the fireplace were horrified to find that the flames in the gilded fireplace had turned green before they could even sprinkle the Floo powder!

With a soft poof, the Death Eaters in black robes and masks appeared in front of the people, cooperating inside and outside!Someone had secretly connected to the Floo network, allowing these Death Eaters to be present during the attack.

As soon as the Death Eaters arrived, they grinned and joined the battle, reaping the lives.

The people in front of the fireplace were like a flock of sheep, being driven to the hall where the elevator was located, without any thought of resistance.Lambs are afraid of wolves because wolves will eat them!
With the influx of these lambs, the much smaller hall was packed like a can of sardines, and the Aurors in front of the elevator wanted to go out to help, but they couldn't move an inch.

Those who want to go in can't get in, and those who want to get out can't get out, the Aurors can only worry.The lambs are not afraid of the sheepdog, because the sheepdog will not eat them.

At this moment, there was another clanging and rattling sound, and an elevator descended to the small hall.The golden fence gate slid open gently, revealing Ada's figure inside.

This face is so easy to recognize, it is the prestige of the first battle!
There was no need for Ada to speak. The people who were pushing and shoving in front of the elevator just now took the initiative to give way, so that the Aurors who were blocked in the small hall could rush to the hall for reinforcements.

Perhaps it was the retrograde Aurors and strikers that gave people courage, or maybe it was the appearance of Ada that gave them confidence. Many people pulled out their wands and followed them out of the small hall, joining the camp against the dark atrocities.

The hall that was resplendent just a few minutes ago has already been destroyed, and the corpses are lying on the ground in disorder.

And the brutal battle has just begun, and more people will fall today.
