Chapter 983 The Controlled French Ministry of Magic

Since the previous French minister was struck by Grindelwald's Imperius Curse and died unexpectedly at the International Wizarding Conference held a month ago, Bruno and others, after returning to the Ministry of Magic, in addition to starting the new minister In addition to the election, there was also a thorough investigation of the entire Ministry of Magic.

However, although this idea is good, it is not that easy to implement.

The death of the previous Minister was too sudden, and the senior officials who were able to compete for the position of Minister were not convinced by anyone. Therefore, the entire Ministry of Magic quickly became a mess, and the investigation of the personnel within the Ministry gradually got out of control. A large number of officials, Aurors He was inexplicably labeled a saint and was thrown into prison without trial.

At first, Furong and others thought it was just a political struggle, and several ministerial candidates planned to use this opportunity to eliminate dissidents so that they could ascend to power.

However, during a mission, she and several fellow Aurors accidentally discovered some clues. Several saints who were supposed to be arrested and imprisoned in prison for interrogation actually reappeared openly. In front of them, a shocking massacre of Muggles was committed.

Fleur felt very strange at that time. After they recaptured these saints, they learned from the responding Auror that there was a problem in the prison a few days ago. Several prisoners escaped due to poor control.

Naturally, Furong would not believe such a nonsense answer, so she secretly discussed the matter with several colleagues who also noticed something was wrong.

But before they could find anything, they were inexplicably wanted and hunted down by a group of people they had never seen but claimed to be French Aurors.

These people were more ruthless than the others, using all kinds of black magic almost without any scruples. Several of her colleagues fell under various evil spells in the process of escaping from Paris, but she was the only one. Fortunately, he was rescued by the British Ministry of Magic when he was about to be killed.

Listening to Fleur's story, Ivan couldn't help but frown. It seemed that Grindelwald's penetration of the French Ministry of Magic was far greater than he imagined.

It can be seen from the fact that Fleur and others are wanted on an unfounded charge that the entire French Ministry of Magic is not far behind, if not completely fallen.

Maybe those ministerial candidates have been controlled or replaced by Grindelwald, and this time he just took full control of the French Ministry of Magic in the name of searching for the saints.

But this is not a bad thing. What gave Ivan a headache before was that he could not find the whereabouts of Grindelwald and the saints, but now he has a target.

Although Fleur's escape will definitely make the other party wary, Grindelwald has been operating in France for so long and will never give up so easily.

Thinking of this, Ivan's frown relaxed and he turned to speak. "Don't worry too much, Fleur. Since Grindelwald and the Saints are hiding in the French Ministry of Magic, the International Federation of Wizards will never sit idly by."

Furong nodded with lingering fear, and then she spoke as if she suddenly thought of something. "By the way, there's one more thing. Before we escaped from the Ministry of Magic, the captain heard news that some high-ranking officials in the French Ministry of Magic seemed to be planning to take action against the Muggle rulers."

Ivan and Pierce looked at each other and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

Unlike most wizards who are still living in their old dreams, Grindelwald has never underestimated the power and threat of Muggles.

Ivan had previously thought about what kind of strategy Grindelwald would adopt to counterattack after his defeat at the League of Nations conference. What worried him the most was whether Grindelwald would directly announce the existence of the wizarding world, or hide in the dark. Waiting for opportunities to control heads of state.

The former will undoubtedly bring the conflict between Muggles and wizards to the surface. When faced with the denunciation of Muggles and successive conflicts, the wizards who were originally neutral may favor Grindelwald's side.

As the official force of the wizarding world, they have to quell the disputes between wizards and Muggles and consider the possible outbreak of war, and on the other hand they have to find ways to deal with Grindelwald, so the power they can use will be greatly reduced.

This is obviously not what Ivan wants to see.

As for the latter, it is impossible to guard against it. With the power Grindelwald possesses, he can sneak into the president's home quietly and control him with the Imperius Curse.

Although the heads of various countries are protected by a large number of Aurors, these people cannot actually stop any of Grindelwald's actions. The only thing they can do is to spread the news to him as much as possible so that he can know that Grindelwald Already controlled a certain president or prime minister.

Now there is a flaw in France. If the entire Ministry of Magic has fallen, what about the Aurors who originally protected the French President?

The worst guess is that Grindelwald has long secretly controlled the French President, and even some other senior officials. If this is true, it will be difficult to handle.

You must know that France is a nuclear-armed country, and if it is not done correctly, it can easily cause extremely serious consequences.

Thinking like this, Ivan couldn't help but feel a little worried. It seemed that Grindelwald must be dealt with as soon as possible, and he must not let the other party continue to toss like this.

"You should have a good rest here during the recent period, Furong. I will send additional personnel to protect your safety." Ivan said solemnly.

"No, no need. I have recovered now and can return to the battlefield at any time. Don't forget that I am also an Auror!" Fleur said firmly. She could not forget her companions who died to protect her, and she was even more urgent. Want revenge.

"Unfortunately, Miss Delacour, you may not know that all matters related to Grindelwald and the Saints have now been handed over to the League of Nations' rapid reaction force. They are all the most elite wizards... "Ivan rejected Furong's proposal without hesitation.

"But, the French Ministry of Magic..." Fleur subconsciously wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Ivan just as she opened her mouth.

"You can't do anything on your own. As a person who has provided important clues, what you need to do most is to protect your own safety."

"Also, the injury on your face has just healed. I can't guarantee whether the spell has been completely removed, so you'd better stay in the hospital for more observation time to prevent the injury from recurring..." Ivan said in a frightened manner.

As a former representative of Beauxbatons Academy, Fleur's strength is very good compared to her peers, but in Ivan's opinion, it is far from enough, especially her lack of experience in dealing with black magic.

Under Ivan's patient persuasion, Fleur had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of ​​joining the battle and prepare to recuperate at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries for a while.

After comforting Fleur, Ivan winked at Pierce, then said goodbye to Bohan and others and walked straight out of the ward...
