Chapter 243 The Gathering at the Ministry of Magic Begins

"I've never seen so many wizards at once."

When the field of vision in front of him changed, Tang Sen first heard a voice coming from the front, and then there was a wave of sound that made people dizzy.

Tang Sen stepped out of the fireplace and saw a middle-aged man with red hair standing in front of the fireplace, and further away, there were scattered figures, as far as the eye could see.

Snape was right, the Ministry of Magic itself has an extremely powerful invisible extension spell——

I don't know how vast this space is, but looking up, the dome is probably hundreds of meters high. Thousands of wizards are staying in this space, and it doesn't seem too crowded.

The wizards gathered into small circles one after another, and from time to time the voices of arguments between the two circles could be heard. The core of the conversation was naturally about the magician and the society he hoped to achieve to coexist with Muggles.

No one could convince the other, and the only thing that kept their argument from turning into an all-out argument was the presence of Aurors who were always on guard around them.

Snape stepped out of the fireplace shortly after and said, "We have to go see Professor Dumbledore first."

"Many people have tried, but Minister Dumbledore has refused everyone's visit. Don't worry, he will show up soon." The red-haired middle-aged man in front turned back with a surprised expression: "Oh, Professor Snape, long time no see."

"Mr. Weasley." Snape nodded reservedly: "I heard that you have resumed your position? I thought you would be busy today."

"It's the Aurors who need to be busy." Mr. Weasley looked at Tang Sen: "This should be Professor Tang from the Divination class, right? I often hear your name, especially in the letters sent back by Ron."

Tang Sen smiled and nodded.

Mr. Weasley was obviously very interested in talking. He took a few steps closer and said, "No one knows what Minister Dumbledore thinks. In fact, he has never publicly made any remarks about magicians. But I I think you will definitely support the magician’s proposition. We all know that Minister Dumbledore has always been an enlightened and wise man, and it is impossible for him not to see how great the future depicted by the magician is.”

Snape didn't know how to answer this long series of words, or he didn't want to answer at all, so Townsend could only respond: "Apparently Mr. Weasley is on the magician's side?"

"Of course." Mr. Weasley said without hesitation: "For a more brilliant civilization."

"For a more brilliant civilization!" Mr. Weasley's words prompted responses from the wizards nearby.

Then they got more responses.

Soon, this slogan began to echo throughout the hall. These voices overwhelmed everyone's quarrels and the opponents' deliberate troubles and roars, just like the one at Stonehenge three months ago. Like a party, these voices gathered together quickly and became unified.

"It's amazing." Professor Snape said this sentence without any expression: "It's only been three short months."

"The power of faith and unity." Townsend commented: "Everyone shouting here believes that they are creating a better future, Professor Snape. This is change, a change that is already rolling in and unstoppable. "

"Even if the magician does not appear today, no, even if he dies in front of everyone, change will not stop, because the fire of civilization has been planted in everyone's heart."

Professor Snape was silent for a moment. He certainly knew what Townsend was talking about. In fact, this was the most repeated sentence he had heard from Dumbledore in the past three months.

Change cannot be stopped.

He never understood why Dumbledore paid such attention to that being and released that being, but now that he saw this scene, he finally understood - the magician was not Grindelwald. Dumbledore could Defeated Grindelwald to stop his ideas from spreading, but couldn't stop the Magician in the same way.

The believers of the two parties are not the same group of people at all. Most of Grindelwald's believers are pure-blood families, including many dark wizards, and the magician's followers - hell, they are almost the most sincere and kind-hearted people in the magic world. of those people.

They may not be as powerful as pure-blood families, but they are often more able to firm up their ideals, work hard for them, and find it difficult to give up.

Snape really didn't know what Dumbledore would do now. If it were him - maybe it wouldn't be unacceptable to hand over the Ministry of Magic to the magician, and he couldn't defeat him anyway.

The shouts in front suddenly became quieter, and everyone saw that at the end of the space, a stone platform began to rise slowly.

A clear chirping sound sounded, and in the flames, Dumbledore's figure appeared on the table. The phoenix hovered above his head, leaving golden traces of flames in the air.

He was still wearing loose and comfortable robes, a pointed wizard hat, and his long beard was neatly tied up. He looked no different from before.

Everyone closed their mouths spontaneously.

Even those dark wizards who were mixed among the crowd did not dare to show up at this time. This was the intimidating force from the recognized most powerful wizard.

"I hope everyone has had breakfast."

This was Dumbledore's first sentence, which was unexpected, but no one interrupted him, so he continued: "After all, the Ministry of Magic may not be able to provide breakfast for so many people. This has never happened since the establishment of the Ministry of Magic." So many visitors.”

"Moreover, the quality of the breakfast at the Ministry of Magic is really mediocre. It's hard to say that. After leaving the post of Headmaster of Hogwarts School and becoming the Minister of Magic, the thing I'm not used to the most is food."

There was a buzzing murmur in the audience, and many people looked puzzled because of Dumbledore's words.

Obviously, what everyone here wants to hear is not about where the breakfast is more delicious.

"Please forgive the nagging of an old man." Dumbledore noticed this and said apologetically: "I was just trying to ease the tense atmosphere. Now it seems that my opening chapter failed. Let's get down to business."

"I know that many people are curious and even extremely angry about why I want to forcefully seize the power of the Ministry of Magic - the word seize is hard to accept, but I will never deny it."

"I have done a lot of wrong things in my life, and I never think that all my decisions will lead to good results. For example, I am not sure whether I should be standing here now, and I am not sure what I will do next. Is the matter right——"

He paused, and after a lengthy opening, finally got to the point.

"But, right or wrong, it is much better than facing a war that sweeps the world and affects all wizards."

"Yes, war - I believe everyone is familiar with this word recently."

"But what I'm talking about is not the war that the man we're waiting for here today talks about."

"What I'm worried about is another war."

"A war between wizards and wizards started by the magician himself."
