Study Days at Hogwarts

"It seems that the situation over there is not good."

After repeatedly confirming that Voldemort had left, Dumbledore turned to talk to Albert, completely ignoring the fact that the other party had just thrown the Avada Kedavra at Voldemort.

"It's not good. The reinforcements from the Death Eaters arrived first, and the number exceeded expectations, but the reinforcements from the Ministry of Magic haven't arrived yet. Scrimgeour probably won't be able to hold on for long." Albert didn't hide it, telling Dumbledore It's not surprising that Lido guessed the reason why he appeared here.

We are all smart people, there is really no need to beat around the bush, that will just bore people.

After taking a final glance at the messy battlefield around him, Dumbledore summoned the phoenix Fawkes and asked him to take the two of them to the manor.

When the two people rushed over, the wedding scene was in a mess.

Even after taking the Felixir, the Aurors suffered casualties in the brutal battle.

After all, the elixir can only stimulate the potential of Aurors and improve their various abilities, rather than making them invincible.

Fortunately, they were Aurors who had experienced hundreds of battles and had a solid foundation and outstanding abilities. Otherwise, more people would have died. If they were ordinary Hogwarts students, they would probably be wiped out before Albert could come back.

At this moment, Scrimgeour was planning to lead his people to retreat to the manor, waiting for reinforcements from Albert.

This was regarded as the escape route Albert left for them. Once the situation became uncontrollable, Albert promised to help them clean up the mess. This was one of the reasons why Scrimgeour readily agreed, as the other party almost thought everything over for them.

Before the Aurors could retreat into the manor and continue to hold on, they noticed fireworks blooming in the sky. The sparks burst out like a shower, covering most of the battlefield. Those who were caught by the rain of sparks stopped and covered their heads with their hands. Shake vigorously.

The effect of the stun spell began to take effect, and the enemies with weak resistance staggered and fell to the ground.

The noisy battlefield gradually fell into silence. People looked up at the exploding fireworks in the sky, and they all realized that there was something wrong with that thing in the sky.

A vortex of gold and red suddenly appeared in the villa, and Albert, Dumbledore and Fox appeared out of thin air in the hall.

When they walked towards the open door, they saw the Aurors fleeing in panic. They were retreating to the villa while fending off the madly attacking dark wizards.

"Dumbledore!"

I don’t know who screamed loudly.

"That's fake, it's a counterfeit!" a Death Eater shouted to encourage morale.

Without fear, he shot a bolt of black magic at Dumbledore, which was easily caught by Dumbledore who raised his wand and quickly pushed back.

His whole body was blown away by the spell, and he passed out immediately.

Albert waved his wand, causing a large explosion in an instant, directly blowing up the enemies chasing the Aurors, giving the Aurors some time to breathe.

However, the explosion did not stop the giants. These rough-skinned guys resisted the explosion, waved their weapons, and were about to smash an Auror into a pulp.

When the Auror instinctively dodged to the side, a ray of magic passed over his head and cut off the giant's arm that raised the weapon. A large amount of blood spattered on the Auror, and he rolled on the ground. , when he got up again, he was startled by the rumble of falling to the ground around him, and the body of a headless giant fell nearby.

The originally noisy battlefield suddenly fell into silence. Dark wizards, werewolves, giants, and Death Eaters were all stunned by the two people walking out of the hall.

Albert didn't care what others thought, looked up at the sky, waved his wand to summon the Patronus, and let it drive away the dementors floating above the manor.

"That's fake, don't be fooled, surround them and kill them with the Killing Curse!" A Death Eater shouted at the crowd, but no one paid him any attention.

Fake?

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look fake.

Dumbledore's appearance here basically means that the Dark Lord has been defeated. Anyone with a normal mind should know that if he doesn't run now, he won't be able to run away later.

I don't know who started it. The guys who originally attacked the manor all wanted to have more legs and ran towards the outside of the manor. They hated the guys who used the forbidden apparition.

After Scrimgeour saw the enemy retreating, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to the Aurors: "Chase, don't let those bastards escape, leave as many as you can."

After Scrimgeour finished shouting to the Aurors, he turned to Albert and Dumbledore and said, "You also come to help. It's best to keep them all. The wizarding world will have peace for a long time. ”

"Cover this area with a coma spell." Albert suggested. He knew that Dumbledore would probably not kill him, so he proposed a more reliable method, which is also the most suitable solution at present.

There is no way, if there are too many enemies, they will not be able to catch them at all.

Putting them all down might be a good solution!

Dumbledore nodded in agreement, and Scrimgeour breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Dumbledore was unwilling to help and missed this good opportunity to seriously injure the mysterious man's minions, let alone seize more of the mysterious man's minions, which would affect the future. The more advantageous it is to serve as Minister for Magic.

Albert and Dumbledore both raised their wands and fired stun spells into the sky. The red spells were like exploding fireworks, and the sparks that burst out enveloped the entire manor. The guys who were escaping fell one after another.

"If possible, it is best to keep those giants." Scrimgeour gritted his teeth and said, if it were not for those giants, the Ministry of Magic's casualties would never be as serious as they are now.

Albert didn't pay attention to Scrimgeour's words, he still continued to project magic.

In just a few minutes, all the wizards who could withstand the coma spell escaped from the manor and disappeared, and the rest all fainted.

There is no doubt that the battle is over and the Ministry of Magic is victorious.

Albert put down his wand, looked at the manor shrouded in red sparks, turned to Scrimgeour and said, "Okay, I have to go, and I have to deal with tomorrow's wedding. I believe the Ministry of Magic can handle the problems here."

"Professor, don't forget the wedding tomorrow."

Albert winked at Dumbledore, bent down, picked up a scrap of wood, turned it into a portkey, and disappeared.

"What are you going to do about it?"

Dumbledore looked at the direction Albert left and turned to ask Scrimgeour.

"I plan to execute those extremely vicious Death Eaters who escaped from prison on the spot in accordance with the laws of the Ministry of Magic to avoid other incidents. The remaining guys will be thrown into Azkaban Prison after being tried by the Ministry of Magic." Scrimgeour's His voice was as cold as a piece of ice. There was nothing he could do. Several Aurors had died. It would be damning if he could be in a good mood.

"If there is a place suspected of being controlled by the Imperius Curse, we will use veritaserum. After confirming that he is forced to do anything, we will make special space in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies to hold these prisoners who need treatment."

Dumbledore was silent. Albert's proposal to Scrimgeour was just within the scope of Dumbledore's acceptance.

In fact, Scrimgeour really wanted to kill all the bastards in front of him instead of throwing them into Azkaban prison.

However, it is still necessary to go through the process of legal trial, so that the authority of the Ministry of Magic can be re-established, at least when Scrimgeour is elected Minister of Magic, it will allow him to gain greater authority in a short period of time.

As for the excuse to kill them, Albert had already found it for Scrimgeour, that is, the Azkaban prison is no longer safe, and the mysterious man may rob the prison again at any time. It is better to kill those vicious wizards directly. Once and for all, lest they be released by Voldemort again.

I believe that as long as the Wizengamot members have some sense, they will not be naive enough to think that those scum should be given a chance.

The Aurors who had just experienced a bitter battle also began to get busy. They first needed to confirm the casualties of their colleagues, and some Aurors needed to receive treatment.

"Let me help you go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Maladies." Dumbledore didn't quite agree with Scrimgeour's approach, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't persuade him to give up, so he found an excuse and left.

Out of sight, out of mind is the best approach.

Tonks also left with Dumbledore. She needed to go to the Ministry of Magic to mobilize people to help deal with the problems here.

As for the others, they began to clean the battlefield and use coma spells on the fainted prisoners to ensure that they would not wake up in a short time.

"There are eleven Death Eaters left in total." Gadwin finally felt better and reported to Scrimgeour: "Five of them are dead, four are seriously injured, and two are slightly injured."

Scrimgeour glanced at the Death Eater whose mask had been removed, and whispered his name, "August Rookwood."

The next second, Scrimgeour suddenly raised his wand and used Avada Kedavra on August Rookwood's body.

The green light of death suddenly lit up, startling all the surrounding Aurors.

"August Rookwood is dead." Kingsley quickly reminded him.

"Who knows? I just need to make sure he doesn't get up and fight against us." Scrimgeour said nonchalantly: "Come on, take off their masks and let's see who we know."

The surrounding Aurors looked at each other, but no one would blame Scrimgeour for what he did. One of the Aurors bent down and took off the mask of a Death Eater.

"Antonin Dolokhov," someone exclaimed.

"This guy actually still has breath. He's really lucky, but his good luck seems to have ended here." Scrimgeour signaled the Auror to get out of the way, and then directly gave the dying Antonin Dolohov One hit of Avada Kedavra.

Antonin Dolokhov, who was still breathing, completely burped.

"Next."

Gadwin glanced at Scrimgeour, bent down and took off the mask of the other Death Eater, and whispered his name: "Gibbon."

Scrimgeour raised his wand and said, "Another old acquaintance."

"He's dead." Kingsley reminded after checking.

"Who knows?"

"Let me do it."

Gadwin raised his wand and cast the Avada Kedavra on Gibbon's body.

"Travers!" Kingsley took off the mask of a Death Eater and said through gritted teeth.

"An acquaintance of yours?" Scrimgeour turned and asked,

"He murdered the McKinnon family in the last war." Kingsley was very angry. His relationship with McKinnon was actually not bad.

"If you want revenge, he will die anyway." Scrimgeour made a gesture of invitation.

Kingsley hesitated for a moment, then raised his wand and used Avada Kedavra to kill the seriously injured Travers.

"Don't be merciful, otherwise you will probably be killed next moment." Scrimgeour taught the surrounding Aurors, "Don't expect your enemies to be merciful."

As he spoke, he also bent down and took off the mask of the other Death Eater, and softly called out the other Death Eater's name: "Lucius Malfoy, look, it's another old acquaintance."

"Wait Scrimgeour." Gadwin suddenly stopped Scrimgeour from chanting a curse to kill Lucius Malfoy.

"What's the matter?" Scrimgeour asked doubtfully.

"Many colleagues were seriously injured and even died, and their families need a consolation payment." Gadwin hinted.

The Ministry of Magic doesn't care about solace payments, because Aurors' salaries are very high, and this high-risk benefit directly pushes the wages of most Ministry of Magic employees to the point where they can't see the tail.

Scrimgeour was silent, because there were nine fallen in total, seven of whom had been killed in the battle, the other two were seriously injured and unconscious, and many other Aurors were also injured.

"If the Malfoy family is willing to pay a high fine, we'd better sentence him to Azkaban for life instead of killing the person directly." Gadwin suggested.

This was actually a solution they had discussed over and over again. The Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic actually didn't have much funding. If you wanted the Aurors to work hard, you had to spend some money.

As long as you are smart, you will know that being sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban is much better than being directly killed by the Aurors.

After all, if you go to jail, you still have a chance to get out.

This is not the first time Voldemort has robbed prison.

If you were killed directly, you wouldn't even have a chance.

"Well, if he is willing, I don't mind." Scrimgeour hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Before that, we need to use veritaserum to interrogate these scum, and those who do evil must die."

The conversation between the two did not avoid the other Aurors around them, but it was mainly to see their reactions.

There is no doubt that this proposal has been approved by everyone.

This is blackmail in disguise.

In the past, even if Death Eaters were caught, they would not be killed directly.

It was said that the Death Eaters were to be killed, but in fact it was just Scrimgeour's order, and Gadwin was only helping them to benefit. The families of those Aurors who died could receive a compensation, and those who were seriously injured and hospitalized could receive subsidies. In the future, the family would at least be able to Can live more comfortably.

Of course, there is another reason.

Scrimgeour plans to bribe the employees of the Ministry of Magic and buy them dark magic defense items. These all require Galleons. The Ministry of Magic can provide some of them, but someone must help pay for most of the Galleons. Death Eaters are a good money bag. , anyway, they are very rich, they are allowed to spend money to save their lives, but the special preferential treatment given to them is not available to others.

Of course, this would also allow Gadwin to secure his position as Director of the Auror Office. A leader who is willing to consider his subordinates is always loved by others.

"Take off their masks and let's see what lucky ones get away with."

Fish, how innocent.
