Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 231 Changed and Unchanged
"Then... is that the black... Dark Lord?"

"Merlin! Am I dazzled?"

The wizards talked a lot. They couldn't believe what they saw just now. The person whose name cannot be named really came back?They really wanted to think that their brains were broken, but the ruined Ministry of Magic hall and the terrifying figure just now told them:
Yes, the Dark Lord is really back!
"He was there just now! Minister! He was there!" A man with a ponytail and a red robe shouted, a little hysterical, and his voice broke.

"I... I know, I saw him too..." Fudge said vaguely, "This is incredible... how is this possible..."

"If you go down to the Department of Mysteries to take a look, you will find that there are more people there." Dumbledore put away his wand, and greeted Sirius and others, "There are about a dozen Death Eaters There, many of them escaped from Azkaban last time."

"You! Dumbledore!" Fudge pointed at Dumbledore tremblingly, a little surprised, and also had some indescribable feelings, "Why are you here..."

"Arrest him!" He panicked, and suddenly remembered that Dumbledore was still a wanted criminal by the Ministry of Magic, and immediately shouted to the surrounding Aurors.

"Connelly, you don't want me to fight your people again." Dumbledore turned his head and looked at the ruined hall, and everyone understood what he meant.

He walked directly in front of Fudge, and said calmly: "Facts have proved that what I have been emphasizing in the past year is true. Voldemort is back, and you have all seen it with your own eyes."

"No...no!" Fudge stepped back in a panic, grabbing a wizard next to him who was also in a panic, but he broke free easily.

Fudge kept looking for his people in the crowd, trying to get some support, but wherever he looked, people basically turned their heads away.

"Dawlish! Dawlish! Williamson!" Fudge finally saw his most loyal men. "Go to the Department of Mysteries! Go!"

The two whose names were called immediately ran to the elevator, and Fudge was looking for his own people again, but this time he didn't see any of them.He wiped the sweat from his brow at an unknown time, and said to Dumbledore, "Why...why, this...what the hell is going on?"

"I'll tell you." Dumbledore patted Fudge on the shoulder with a smile, "after we return to Hogwarts."

Dumbledore walked aside, searched among the ruins, and finally found a fairly complete head of the statue.He pointed his wand at the head, and whispered, "Mentus!"

"Dumbledore! Stop! It's illegal!" cried Fudge. "It's an illegal Portkey!"

Dumbledore turned his head suddenly, and Fudge immediately fell silent as if someone had strangled his neck.

"I will tell you clearly what happened here tonight, and of course there are others..." said Dumbledore, "but before that, you need to give an order that Dolores Umri Odd left Hogwarts, and at the same time ended the hunt for Hagrid, I need him to return to Hogwarts to continue his work."

As he spoke, he took out a pocket watch from his pocket, opened it and looked at it: "I think half an hour is enough..."

"Of course, before that, Harry Potter needs to leave first." He called Harry to him, and put the statue in Harry's hand.Harry was about to say something, but before he could say anything, the Portkey took him out of the Ministry of Magic.

After Harry left, Dumbledore continued: "Okay, Connelly, go to your office, let's have a good talk..."

"Sirius, Lupine, go to the Department of Mysteries and get our people out, some of them are in dire need of medical treatment..."

"As for this place..." Dumbledore pointed to the ruined hall, "I don't think we need our help."

On the other hand, after Lao V returned to Malfoy Manor with Ike and Bella, he directly blew up the long table in the basement angrily.This frightened Wormtail, Narcissa and others who had been waiting.

"Damn old guy, damn!" he cursed loudly, and almost destroyed the entire basement before he calmed down a little.

He walked to the place where he usually sat, but there was no chair, and he also destroyed it just now.Seeing this, Ike took out his wand and waved it lightly, and under the effect of the restoration spell, everything returned to its original state.

Comrade Lao Fu took a deep breath, sat down slowly, tapped the handle with his fingers, and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

Bella immediately knelt down beside Lao Fu's legs, and with a trembling voice, she recounted everything that happened in the Department of Mysteries.Lao Fu listened quietly without interrupting to ask, but his face became more and more ugly.

"So..." After Bella finished speaking, Lao Fu said slowly, "Not only have I been arrested by more than a dozen servants, but I haven't gotten the prophecy ball either?"

"Master..." Before Bella could finish speaking, she was hit by a spell and fell down, curled up on the ground and trembling in pain.

"How many months of preparation, how many months of hard work... My servants lost to Harry Potter and Dumbledore again..." Lao Fu turned to look at Ike, and then said , "Ike, you let me down..."

"Sorry, teacher, I disappointed you." Ike knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and naturally put his right hand on his left knee.

Lao Fu didn't say anything, just stared at Ike who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Bella who was still trying not to shout out, waved his hand, and stopped the Cruciatus Curse.

"You know, today's incident made me understand one thing..." he said, as if talking to himself, "Harry Potter is not a hindrance, and the group of Phoenixes who resisted me are not important... ..."

"Dumbledore, yes, only Dumbledore is the real trouble!"

Suddenly, Lao Fu slapped his hand hard, scaring Wormtail into a fright.

"Today, neither Ike nor I can beat Dumbledore. It's very sad, very sad..." He stood up and said while pacing, "I need more men, more strength, A more powerful force..."

"Then, get rid of Dumbledore who is in the way!"

"But, Master..." Bella asked timidly, "How can we kill him?"

"Oh Bella Bella Bella, Bella..." Lao Fu suddenly bent down, stretched out his hand and gently pinched Bella's face, Bella closed her eyes immediately, with an expression of intoxication, submission, and enjoyment on her face.

"Did you know that there are many mysterious magic items in this world, some are legends, and some are real..."

"Merlin's legacy, the gift of the gods, the mysteries of magic are beyond our imagination..."

As he spoke, he let go of Bella's face, sat back on the chair, and tapped the handle with his fingers again.

"You should all have heard a story about Death and the three brothers..."
