Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 237 The Beginning of Chaos ([-])

"To the Muggle Prime Minister, requesting an interview. It is urgent, please reply immediately.

Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour. "

The ugly little man in the portrait suddenly made a sound, interrupting the conversation between Fudge and the Prime Minister.

"Yes, yes." The Prime Minister nodded and agreed, and then a green flame burst out from the fireplace again. He was a tall and thin man, with dark brown hair and thick eyebrows mixed with strands of gray, behind a pair of sharp gold-rimmed glasses. s eyes.He stood there like a fierce lion.

Although very old, but still can not be underestimated.

Seeing Scrimgeour, the Prime Minister suddenly understood why the wizarding world would make such a guy a minister.In such a complicated and dangerous situation now, only such people can lead them to victory.

"Hello." The Prime Minister stood up and stretched out his hand to Scrimgeour.Scrimgeour shook hands with the Prime Minister solemnly, then drew out his wand, walked to the door, and knocked on the lock.I clicked on the window again, and the curtains were drawn tightly.

"If I could..." said the Prime Minister, "I would prefer not to lock the door."

"Believe me, it's better to lock it, to avoid danger, and to watch." Scrimgeour checked again, and then sat down on the chair and said, "Fudge should tell you all about the current situation, I This time, we must first solve your safety issues."

"Safe?" The Prime Minister frowned, "I am very satisfied with the existing security measures, and there is no need for..."

"No, you need it." Scrimgeour directly interrupted the Prime Minister, "Those villains can do anything. If you are controlled by the Imperius Curse, it will be very troublesome."

"Besides, it is tradition that you, the Queen, the most important people in this country are surrounded by our protection. This is always the case, let alone now." Scrimgeour said, "like your secretary, Kingsley Shaker, do you think he is just a secretary? In fact, he is a wizard who protects you."

The Prime Minister had something to say, but Scrimgeour didn't give him the chance.

"And Herbert Jollet, your assistant, the man who entertained the public by duck quacking at press conferences?"

"Joe Lai? He just learned how to call a duck, so maybe he needs to rest more..." the Prime Minister said with some embarrassment.

"I gotta tell you, it was his reaction to a lame Imperius Curse, and in fact he was being treated by a medical team at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Wounds as we spoke. Scrimgeour's eyes became sharper, "As far as I know, he has attacked no less than three people so far, and wants to strangle them to death."

"This...well, safety or something, that's it." The Prime Minister gave up his defense and resistance. From what he heard just now, it is true that he can't do without the protection of this group of wizards.

Scrimgeour saw that the prime minister had softened, and he couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.He took out a stack of thick paper from his pocket, spread it out and placed it on the Prime Minister's desk.

"What is this?" The Prime Minister picked up the paper and found that it was covered with pictures of people and some basic information.

"Now that you know the information about the Death Eaters, I need you to hunt them down too." Scrimgeour said, "Although it is impossible for you to catch them, it will be more or less useful, and it will make our Work just got easier."

"Wanted warrant, I know." The Prime Minister put the papers aside.Scrimgeour nodded upon seeing this, raised his hand to look at his watch, and then stood up.

"Okay, let's stop here." Scrimgeour stretched out his hand to the Prime Minister, "I'm still very busy and have a lot of things to do, so I may not be able to find time to tell you the progress of the matter. But don't worry, Fudge has agreed to stay as an adviser. At the Ministry, when I don't have time to come myself, he will come."

With that said, Fudge also stood up, and walked to the fireplace with Scrimgeour.He dug out the Floo powder from his pocket, sprinkled it in, and a green flame ignited immediately.

He didn't speak to the Prime Minister again, stepped over the fence, and then disappeared.

The Prime Minister stared blankly at the flames in the fireplace disappearing, and the curtains and doors were opened at some point.In a daze, he took out a bottle of whiskey and a glass from the cabinet next to his feet, poured some, and dried it without even adding ice cubes.

It took a while to suppress the strong and dry feeling, but the complicated mood finally calmed down.After straightening his tie, he directly picked up the phone, dialed a few numbers, and said directly after being connected, "Let Shaker come over."

After a while, Kingsley Shaker knocked on the door: "Prime Minister, you are looking for me."

The Prime Minister pointed to the chair made by Fudge just now, and after Shaker sat down, he said directly: "Tell me, how dangerous is your side..."

"Sorry, Prime Minister, I don't understand..." Shaker showed a puzzled expression, but he heard the Prime Minister say directly, "Come on, don't hide it, your minister and former minister were sitting here just now."

"So... let's talk..."

The Prime Minister's expression was calm, listening to Shaker talking about the turmoil, occasionally asking some questions, and giving answers only after Shaker thought about it.

After asking and answering like this for a long time, Shaker was allowed to leave.

He poured another glass of whiskey, but this time he took a sip. At this time, he had almost understood it.As the prime minister, he must know as much information as possible about the upcoming war, and it is not enough to listen to the subpoena of the seemingly unreliable former minister.

"Maybe I'm going to see the queen tomorrow." The prime minister thought, looked at the time, drank the wine in his glass, but was ready to rest.

Meanwhile, Scrimgeour, the new Minister back at the Ministry, has no time to rest.As the former head of Auror's office and now the Minister of Magic, he is indeed very busy.

Voldemort's comeback is an opportunity for him, but also a severe challenge.Having dealt with Death Eaters and Dark Wizards for so many years, he knew the danger of those guys very well.Moreover, what the Ministry of Magic has to face now is not only those guys.

Giants, werewolves, vampires, and dementors, when the news of the Dark Lord's return spread throughout the magic world, those dark creatures returned to Lao V's command almost at the same time. The chaos in England during this period was basically These guys were making trouble, but those Death Eaters and dark wizards disappeared without a trace.

Scrimgeour sent a large number of people to deal with the disturbance caused by the group of dark creatures, and at the same time to investigate the whereabouts of the Dark Lord. Undoubtedly, the latter is the most important.However, those guys seem to have disappeared. His people have almost turned Britain upside down, and they haven't found even a clue.

This feeling of impending storm was very bad, and Scrimgeour had no chance to breathe.

"Are you really going to do this?" He was sitting on a chair in the minister's office, holding a piece of parchment in his hand, looking lost in thought.The quill is next to him, but he has been unable to sign his name for a long time.

It was a search warrant for Malfoy Manor.
