Chapter 538 The Dust Has Settled in the Ministry of Magic

"The Dark Lord from France is arrested!" About to be escorted to Azkaban! 》

"Life imprisonment!" The Dark Lord reaps the consequences"

Scrimgeour: Your Ministry of Magic Is Still Strong

"Cornelly Fudge, Sinner of the Wizarding World"

"Dolores Umbridge, the bloody devil hiding in the Ministry of Magic"

"Esmeralda Drizzt, is she a devil or an ideal goddess - the double life of Thorn Rose"

…

These were the headlines of major newspapers when Ada was tried and taken to Azkaban.

Even the articles that claimed Ada's crimes were carefully worded and not overly exaggerated. There was no "monster from France" or "a despicable and cruel female devil".

Of course, the newspapers on Ada's side did not go too far, and did not use shameful words such as "supreme".

Under Laura's instruction, these newspapers tried their best to respect the facts and present the events of the past year to the public as objectively as possible.

However, it is inevitable to praise Ada in the text. They can still tell whose job it is.

Just when the Ministry of Magic's morale was high and they were dreaming of taking down the mysterious man in one go, Ada appeared in Diagon Alley. He swaggered around and even bought a new outfit at Madam Malkin's Robe Shop.

That's not all. Ada, wearing new clothes, walked into the Ministry of Magic grandly and took away her confiscated wand. He simply didn't regard Aurors as human beings.

Amidst the cheers of some of Ada's supporters, the Ministry of Magic employees collectively fell into deep thought. No, Drizzt should be above the North Sea at this moment. How could he appear in London?

People who didn't know the truth began to angrily call Rufus Scrimgeour a loser. He couldn't even hold a prisoner. How could he be expected to lead the Ministry of Magic to resist the more powerful Voldemort?

The pro-Ministry newspapers and magazines also fell silent. They really didn't know how to clean up the matter.

I was still singing praises to the Ministry of Magic and Scrimgeour in the morning, but the prisoner escaped before the afternoon. The slap in the face came too fast, he might as well have been Fudge!

They were silent, but the newspapers that supported Ada would not be silent, and began to work collectively in order to attract attention. The headline of the evening edition of the best-selling newspaper that day was: "Tell me a joke: Your Ministry of Magic is still going strong."

Opposite Scrimgeour is Piers Thicknesse, whose popularity has grown and he has become a popular choice for the new minister. Since Voldemort returned and Ada became an enemy of the Ministry of Magic, only Piers Thicknesse has not suffered under the hands of the two Dark Lords.

Just as Fudge, Scrimgeour and others were discussing how to recapture Ada and overcome the current difficulties, the Ministry of Magic suffered another heavy blow.

Voldemort personally led a team to attack Azkaban far away in the North Sea, rescued all the imprisoned Death Eaters, and also helped free a group of dark wizards. Voldemort's power once again expanded.

Not to mention Scrimgeour and Fudge didn't think of it, not even Ada thought of it.

In order to take over the captured Ada, the number of Azkaban guards doubled that day. Under such circumstances, Voldemort did not avoid his edge, but struck hard, once again demonstrating his power and terror. Make the Ministry of Magic look even more weak and bullyable.

If Ada slapped the Ministry of Magic in the face just to the point, then Voldemort hit it to death and directly slapped the Ministry of Magic's face into a pig's head. It was probably that Voldemort had been frustrated for too long and deliberately vented his anger on them, while also freeing the imprisoned Death Eaters, the best of both worlds.

The only people who are suffering are the Ministry of Magic, which appears to be powerful but is actually weak.

The dark clouds hanging over England are getting heavier and heavier, and fog has risen in London due to the dementors' actions. The British wizarding world has completely fallen into panic, and the wizards' eyes have once again focused on Dumbledore.

In order to gain Dumbledore's support, Scrimgeour even visited him personally. As long as he can get Dumbledore's approval, Scrimgeour can serve as Minister of Magic without hindrance.

Even Cornelius Fudge, as long as Dumbledore still supports him, he can stay in office and continue to stay in the minister's position.

In this way, Ada's plan to take over the Ministry of Magic would be in vain. Scrimgeour, a tough man, would not let Ada mess around in the Ministry of Magic.

However, I don’t know whether it was Scrimgeour’s stubbornness or his immaturity, but he got into a dispute with Dumbledore when he was clearly asking for help.

The last hope was dashed. Due to internal and external pressure, Rufus Scrimgeour was destined not to become the new Minister of Magic. Even if Scrimgeour shamelessly takes the position of minister, he will probably be the minister with the shortest term.

In early July, Fudge stepped down and rolled out of the Ministry of Magic in disgrace, without even being offered the position of Advisor to the Minister.

If the timing hadn't been right, Cornelius Fudge might still have been interrogated and investigated. After all, Fudge did too many immoral things in the last year of his tenure, and he was the main reason for the Ministry of Magic's unfavorable situation.

After meeting with the Muggle Prime Minister, Piers Thicknesse took office and took over the Ministry of Magic in a precarious situation.

Once an emperor and a minister, Thicknesse officially became a minister, followed by a series of personnel changes. The first was Amos Diggory, who was appointed Deputy Director of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.

Percy Weasley then resigned from his position as Assistant Minister and returned to the Department of International Magical Cooperation.

Since Thickness became minister, the position of director of the Division of Legal Enforcement became vacant. This position can almost be said to be the most important position besides the position of minister.

Compared with the current deputy director who is still hot on his butt, people are more optimistic about Rufus Scrimgeour.

Although Scrimgeour messed up the task of escorting Ada, it was not entirely his fault. It was simply that he could not be beaten. The staff of the Ministry of Magic were generally optimistic about his abilities.

Amid repeated calls from the staff, the new Director of the Legal Enforcement Department was announced - Arthur Weasley.

Yes, he was the head of the Office for the Prohibition of Abuse of Magic. He suddenly became the director of the Law Enforcement Department. People's eyeballs did not explode in shock, and their jaws remained in place. This was an unexpected but reasonable result.

Does Arthur Weasley have what it takes to serve as a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic?

There must be some, there is no doubt about that. Arthur Weasley had previously written the "Muggle Protection Act", an important law. It was this law that made him unpopular with pure-blood wizards and prevented him from getting promotion opportunities.

It is different now. Arthur Weasley is very close to Dumbledore. It is said that he is a member of the Order of the Phoenix led by Dumbledore. As the director, he will get a certain degree of support from Dumbledore.

Another thing I need some ideas is that the devil from France was the adopted daughter of the Weasley family.

According to rumors in the ministry, Thicknesse may have a cooperative relationship with the Devil. Otherwise, how did Thicknessy catch someone who Scrimgeour couldn't even see?

No matter from any point of view, Arthur Weasley is a good choice, no less popular than Rufus Scrimgeour, and even much better.

It's just that everyone collectively ignored Arthur Weasley before.

In mid-July, everything in the Ministry of Magic finally settled down and began to work at high speed for the war.

But before that, the minister's inaugural speech is still necessary. The panic-stricken magic world needs a shot in the arm.

Ada was not interested in what Pierce Thicknesse said. She left London early and appeared in the village of Little Hangleton.

On the hillside where Riddle House is located, Ada looked around. The destroyed cemetery and church in the distance had long been repaired, and the villagers of Little Hangleton could not remember the fire that engulfed the world that night.

Looking around to no avail, Ada had no choice but to move to a higher place. Only by standing high could she see further. But after reaching the top of the mountain, she still couldn't see what she wanted. All she could see was the clear and blue sky like the forget-me-not flower.

Ada sighed, thinking that if she could "single and (Hu) eighty thousand barrels", would she be able to find Gunter's old house near Little Hangleton?
