Chapter 546 Voldemort’s Undercover
The Death Eaters did not stop their destruction. After Emmeline Vance and Amelia Bones were killed one after another, Florin Fusco was also attacked.
Unlike the previous two, Florin Fusco is neither a member of the Order of the Phoenix nor the Director of Legal Enforcement who will soon take charge of the Ministry of Magic. He is just the manager of a soda fountain in Diagon Alley.
Such an ordinary person was attacked by Death Eaters in broad daylight, and judging from the way the Death Eaters attacked, they had no intention of harming Florin, it was more like they wanted to kidnap him away.
Fortunately, the Auror stationed in Diagon Alley responded promptly and with the help of Hartman, Florin Fusco was not captured by the Death Eaters. After the Ministry of Magic's support arrived, the Death Eaters who failed in their mission had to retreat in a hurry.
The Death Eaters' attack on the soda shop was a bit puzzling. Apart from Florin Fusco, who tutored Harry on his medieval witchcraft thesis and made delicious ice cream, there was really nothing about him. What a special place that deserves the Death Eaters to go to war for him.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Although it was a bit cliché to think this way, Ada felt that there must be a reason for the Death Eaters to attack an ice cream shop owner, and it could not be just revenge.
As for the reason, it remains to be discovered by Ada.
Florin Fusco has no answers for Ada, and is too shaken to offer her a raspberry-flavored ice cream.
A few days after Florin Fusco was sent to St. Mungo's, the body of Igor Karkaroff was found in a cabin in the north, with the Dark Mark hanging over it.
Betraying Voldemort and betraying his fellow Death Eaters allowed Karkaroff to live happily in the colorful world for thirteen years. After Voldemort returned, Karkaroff's good days finally came to an end. Even after hiding in hiding for a year, he still could not escape Voldemort's revenge.
Since these two attacks, Death Eater activities have become more frequent and rampant, and the Daily Prophet reports almost every day that people are missing or even dead, as well as other bizarre incidents.
Needless to say, those who died, some of those who disappeared were really missing, and some were hiding quietly.
Suddenly, the Ministry of Magic was overwhelmed by these disappearances and deaths. The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. The Ministry of Magic is like a farmer walking in the light, and Voldemort is like a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows. When he sees the right moment, he will spring out and bite the farmer.
The Ministry of Magic was always in a position of being passively beaten, being tossed around by Death Eaters, which made Ada feel very aggrieved when she was in the office.
Although Ada was full of anger, she had no means of counterattack. It would be great if she had an undercover agent similar to Snape in the Death Eater team.
Unfortunately, spies like Severus Snape are hard to come by, and Ada can only envy Dumbledore.
It is not advisable to be passively beaten. Ada believes that the Ministry of Magic should take the initiative and boost the morale of the Ministry through effective attacks on Death Eaters, so that the public can regain confidence in the Ministry of Magic.
…
This morning, the operation of the ministry was still the same as usual.
The splendid hall has dark wooden floors that shine brightly. The peacock blue ceiling is studded with shimmering gold symbols. Every few seconds, with a soft pop, a wizard emerged from one of the gilded fireplaces in the hall.
Yaxley, with a sinister face, sat in his crowded and small office, with trivial and meaningless tasks on his desk, and a look of resentment in his eyes.
Corban Yaxley was a Death Eater who thought the Dark Lord was finished after Voldemort's first downfall. Like his former accomplices, Yaxley narrowly escaped punishment by the Ministry of Magic by claiming to be under the Imperius Curse.
After the trial, Yaxley transformed from a Death Eater to an official of the Ministry of Magic. Before Voldemort returned, he became a senior official of the Ministry of Magic. Now he is Voldemort's insider in the Ministry of Magic.
Alongside Yaxley are August Rookwood of the Department of Mysteries and Walton MacNeil of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. It was only after the Battle of the Department of Mysteries that the identities of Rookwood and MacNeil were revealed and they were all thrown into Azkaban. Yaxley became Voldemort's only one among the top leaders of the Ministry of Magic.
After the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Fudge lost power and Piers Thickness was promoted to take charge of the Ministry of Magic. Yaxley, who was very close to Thickness, should have followed suit, but the new Minister alienated him.
On the day Thickness met Laura, Thickness, then deputy director of the Department of Legal Enforcement, received Laura’s advice: Pay more attention to Yaxley, and you will find unexpected discoveries.
Listen to others and eat enough. Thicknesse began to pay attention to Yaxley's every move and became aware of Yaxley's betrayal of the Ministry of Magic.
For unknown reasons, Thicknesse did not rush to deal with Yaxley, but distanced himself from him. Thickness even transferred Yaxley to the Office for the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts after he became minister.
The position, which had previously been held by Arthur Weasley, became vacant after Mr. Weasley was promoted to Director of Legal Enforcement. The Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Artefacts was far removed from the centers of power, and Corban Yaxley was marginalized.
Yaxley was naturally grumbling about this, as he didn't want to deal with an enchanted Muggle teapot, or a Muggle toilet with sewage backing up due to someone overfed.
Therefore, as a veteran Death Eater, Yaxley was even more careful in selling the Ministry of Magic. He would tell his master immediately if there was any trouble in the Ministry.
Including but not limited to Thicknesse's hidden beauty, Thicknessy may have received support from France, and all action plans that Yaxley has access to...
As Voldemort's eyes and ears hidden in the Ministry of Magic, Yaxley was conscientious and conscientious, and he almost sold all the Ministry's possessions to support Voldemort.
In the cramped office, Cobain Yaxley, with a fierce look on his face, had no intention of working and was only thinking about how to sell the Ministry of Magic.
After a failed attempt to kidnap Florin Fosco, much to Voldemort's displeasure, Yaxley saw his chance to claim the Dark Lord's reward if he could secure the Ministry's protection plan for Fosco.
Unable to sit still, Yaxley walked out of the office and wandered around the Auror headquarters, hoping to get some useful information.
Since Arthur Weasley took office, the Aurors have suddenly become very tight-lipped. Sometimes even the Aurors who are on the move don't know where their destination is.
After waiting and searching for a long time, Yaxley found nothing. This has been his normal behavior recently. Without information, Yaxley was increasingly ignored by his master.
Just when Yaxley was disappointed, he finally got what he wanted.
Yaxley was ecstatic. He took out his wand and whispered to the lone staff member: "The soul is out of body!"
