The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 619
As Thickness fell, it seemed that someone had pressed the pause button in the resplendent hall. Everyone's movements stopped at this moment, and the expressions on their faces also froze.

The Aurors, the batterers, and the civil servants who later joined the war, and the people in the ministry were all stunned by the sudden news. They were at a loss for a while, and some people even felt desperate.

No matter how the outside world rumored that Thickness was a puppet, and no matter how famous Ada's name was, Thickness was the Minister of Magic after all.His death is unacceptable. To put it lightly, it is a lack of morale in the army, and to say it more seriously, it means that the future is not bright.

The black wizard who broke into the ministry today and made trouble was also stunned, looking at Thickness's body in disbelief, why did he die suddenly!

Most dark wizards and inner ghosts are well aware that it is difficult for them to get out of the Ministry of Magic today. Although Thickness's death cannot change this result, at least their deaths have become more meaningful.

The bloodbath of the Ministry of Magic and the successful assassination of the minister were the most important strokes in their dark wizard career.

The dark wizard and the inner ghost would like to thank the man who killed Thickness for giving them "glory".Thinknes' death came so suddenly that many people didn't realize it, let alone see who did it.

Time doesn't stop forever, and when it starts flowing again, the sound of incantations and screams fills the hall again.

For the staff of the Ministry, now is not the time to be sad, and there is more than one Sinkenis who has fallen beside them, and indulging in grief will only let themselves go with them.

For the black wizards, they started killing from the moment the raid was launched, and they had already made enough money. Now every time they kill a person, they are making money, and they can get one more person to back them up.

Rookwood, who was lying on the ground, struggled to turn over. His shiny hair was now disheveled. He reached out to pick up his dropped wand, and aimed the wand at Ida, who was facing away from him.

He used all his strength to chant: "Avada Kedavra!"

A miserable green light shot out of the wand, carrying Rookwood's hatred and unwillingness.

August Rookwood was a very experienced and loyal Death Eater, one of ten Death Eaters who escaped from prison in 1996.Perhaps, before going to the Ministry of Magic, Rookwood knew that the crime would be fatal, but he still came.

But this hatred and reluctance failed to take effect after all, and Ada bounced the killing curse without even turning her head.Turning around, raising his hand, the red disarming spell knocked away the wand that Rookwood had managed to pick up.

"Kill me!" Rookwood yelled, "Kill me! The master will avenge me, Thinknis is your end! You despicable ants!"

Severing the Ministry of Magic and killing the Minister for Magic, Rookwood and the other Death Eaters completed Voldemort's mission at the cost of their lives.

The Elder Wand pointed at Rookwood, and a thin blue flame emerged from the tip of the wand, piercing his chest like a sharp sword.Blue flames began to spread from the wound on his chest, instantly burning Rookwood to ashes.

Ada walked toward the Fountain of the Magic Brothers, waving her wand as she walked.

Every time the old wand fell, it would take away a life, and the wand fell again and again, and all the dark wizards in sight became ghosts.It seems that only killing can relieve the boredom in Ada's heart.

The shouts of killing gradually stopped, those who could be caught were caught, and those who could not be caught were killed. The riots caused by Death Eaters, black wizards, and inner ghosts were over.There was a heart-pounding silence in the hall.

Thicknesse's body was surrounded by a circle of people, Amos Diggory, Rufus Scrimgeour, and others.When Ada approached, these people automatically moved out of the way.

"I want to know what happened," Ada said. "Why did he die?"

After the reinforcements arrived, the number of Aurors guarding Thickness increased accordingly. Ada couldn't understand that he could lose his life with so many guards.

Everyone looked at one place, and there was a woman kneeling next to Thickness's body, Isabel, the secretary whom Thickness got along with day and night.Isabel was tied up with ropes, staring at the corpse with a happy smile on her face.

Although Ada's office is separated from the minister's office by a wall, the two of them don't have much contact, but Laura always sees her.

"It should be the Imperius Curse," Scrimgeour said. "Isabel suddenly attacked from behind...assaulted Pierce, and the Auror who was protecting him had no time to react..."

"Poor Pierce, poor Isabel..." an elderly witch said with tears, "She has been with Minister Thicknesse since she entered the Ministry of Magic."

Ada nodded and did not continue talking, and the others were not in the mood to speak.Thicknesse's body is here, and nothing else will help.

What everyone has to do now is to put the broken Ministry of Magic back together, and never let the Ministry of Magic be destroyed like the statue of the Magic Brothers.

The people around the corpse looked at Ida, including Scrimgeour, and they were all waiting for her to give orders.Now only Ada is qualified to do such a thing.

"Activate the emergency plan and resume normal operations in the shortest possible time." Ada ordered. In order to deal with such situations, the Ministry of Magic has emergency plans.

Ada went on to say: "I know it's hard. We lost too much today, but I hope everyone can do their best. Today will always pass, and tomorrow will come."

A group of people took a last look at Thickness's body one after another, and dispersed one after another. Everyone was busy, and everyone was very clear about their work.

Scrimgeour was to temporarily head the Law Enforcement Department until Mr. Weasley returned from Hogsmeade.Their task is the heaviest, not only to strengthen the protection of the headquarters, but also to guard those rebels who are still alive, and pry their mouths open.

The staff of the Accident and Disaster Department were responsible for the aftermath. They arranged the dead colleagues neatly at one end of the hall, and organized the injured to go to St. Mungo's for medical treatment under the protection of Aurors...

Under the leadership of Amos Diggory, the Department of Magical Beast Management and Control began to contact the centaurs and goblins, and strengthened the monitoring of werewolves and other dark tribes to prevent them from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.

…………

Everything is going on in an orderly manner according to the emergency plan, but everyone's face can't hide the sadness. Death is always heavy, and the living will mourn because of it.

But as Ada said, today will pass and tomorrow will come.The Ministry of Magic needs to brace itself for an even more violent storm before tomorrow.

The small hall where the elevator is located is empty at the moment, and the people congested here have been evacuated.

Ada silently walked into this smaller hall, boarded one of the elevators, and returned to her office.

Back at the office, Ada flung herself on the soft sofa, her wand out of hand.She felt very tired, physically and mentally exhausted, she closed her eyes and wanted to rest for a while.

Everyone is sad for the dead colleague and worried about the future of the Ministry of Magic. Only Ada knows that tomorrow may be a more difficult day.
