Chapter 550 Arresting the Mole

Won, but not quite. Lost, but not completely lost.

This is the result of today's battle between Ada and Voldemort, which is basically a 50-50 split.

Ada saved Florin Fusco, who opened the soda shop, and killed Barty Crouch Jr., the "most loyal servant", but failed to protect the staff master Garrick Ollivander.

As a well-known wand maker in Europe and the number one arms dealer in Diagon Alley, the importance of Garrick Ollivander goes without saying. Now that he has fallen into the hands of Voldemort, this is a disaster for both the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts. Small shock.

The loss of Ollivander means that the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts will not be able to obtain well-made wands. The vast majority of wizards will not be able to exert their strength without their wands.

From this point of view, it would be better to rename the magic wand a crutch.

In addition, Ada is also worried that Voldemort will have the same questions as herself and will obtain more secret knowledge about the wand from Ollivander, which will further enhance Voldemort's personal strength.

An unbeatable Voldemort is already very annoying, so don't strengthen him any more. Ada doesn't have a masochistic habit, so it's better for the enemy to be weaker.

If you are weaker, it will be easier to win the war and everyone will be relatively safe.

After losing Ollivander and protecting Florin Fusco, Ada didn't know if she had lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds. She could only hope that Fusco was as important to Voldemort as Ollivander. , so that she can feel better.

In the office, Ada was worrying about Voldemort and thinking about her next move, but it was extremely lively outside the office.

After Piers Thicknesse left Ada's office, he immediately mobilized manpower, Aurors, hitmen, and law enforcement teams. In short, the corridor in front of the minister's office was filled with staff waiting for the minister's orders.

A large group of people were standing in the corridor. Some staff were whispering about St. Mungo's; some were talking about why the minister had summoned everyone; some were curiously looking at the place near the minister's office. A closed wooden door, one wonders whether the person inside is the one in the rumors.

After a while, Thicknesse walked out of the minister's office together with Arthur Weasley, who still held a roll of parchment in his hand. Arthur Weasley first counted the number of people, and then set off together under the leadership of Minister Thicknesse.

After marching for a while, everyone was a little puzzled when they looked at the familiar area and the chaotic cubicles in front of them. They thought that the minister summoned everyone for a mission, but why did everyone return to the Legal Enforcement Department? And it's an Auror office?

The unaware Aurors walked through another heavy oak door under the leadership of Thicknesse, and then walked into a dimly lit and dilapidated corridor, and finally came to the end of the corridor.

There was a door on the left slightly opened, revealing a broom closet, and on the door on the right was a faded brass sign: No Misuse of Muggle Items Office.

The office space of the Misuse of Muggle Articles Office is dark and shabby. Two desks are squeezed inside. There are a row of file cabinets that are almost overflowing along the wall. There are also packages of crumbling files piled on the top of the cabinet. Next to the table There is simply no place to move around.

Deep in this simple office, there was a newly created area. Thicknesse walked forward. He didn't even bother to knock on the door, he opened the door and walked in.

Behind the minister, Arthur Weasley and several Aurors squeezed in. The cramped room immediately ran out of room to stay, and people were crowded and crowded.

An irritated Yaxley was sitting behind his desk, looking at Thicknesse and his colleagues who broke in in surprise.

"Minister, what's going on?" Cobain Yaxley asked with a stern face. Yaxley naturally knew what was going on with such a big show, but it was still necessary to pretend to be stupid.

Thickness straightened his wrinkled gold robe and said lightly: "Yaxley, you are under arrest."

"Why can't I understand what the Minister is saying?" Yaxley was still pretending to be stupid. "The Ministry of Magic is in turmoil now, but the Minister treats me like this. Aren't you afraid of chilling everyone's heart?"

Thicknesse's face darkened. He didn't like Yaxley's statement, as if he was purging meritorious officials in order to maintain his position as minister.

What's more, Yaxley is not a meritorious official, just a damn traitor.

The Aurors behind the minister looked at each other in confusion. They did not know the crime for which Thickness had arrested Yaxley. They just came after the minister brought them here.

"Stop confusing people, Yaxley." Arthur Weasley stepped forward and unfolded the parchment in his hand, "This is an arrest warrant. Do you really think we don't know your identity as a Death Eater? "

Arthur Weasley slapped the arrest warrant directly on the table, and the bang also woke up the hesitant Aurors.

Yaxley glanced at Arthur Weasley arrogantly, his eyes full of disgust, as if his office had been contaminated by something dirty because of Weasley's appearance.

He said: "Me? Death Eater? The truth of this matter has been revealed a long time ago. At that time, I was controlled by the Imperius Curse, and all my actions were not my intention. This matter existed as early as Minister Barnold's period. Conclusion!”

boom! boom! boom!

Yaxley tapped the desk three times to express his indignation, his dissatisfaction.

He continued: "You two are the ones who should be arrested! One is the leader of the female devil who came from France, and the other is the adoptive father of the female devil. You two should be sent to the Wizengamot for trial! He should be imprisoned in Azkaban for eternity!"

"Don't be annoyed or angry." Thicknesse's voice was still light when he spoke, "I'm here to arrest you today. Of course I have evidence to arrest you. If you want to quibble, you might as well wait until the trial. Maybe your sentence will be It can be reduced a little bit.”

"By the way, your trial will be open to the public. Thank you for all your contributions to demonstrating the power of the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Yaxley." Thicknesse turned around and didn't want to say anything more. "catch him!"

The Aurors immediately obeyed the order and stepped forward. The thought of resisting flashed through Yaxley's mind, but before he could touch his wand, Arthur Weasley, whom he had always looked down upon, had already pressed his wand against his. head,

"Resistance is pointless, this is the Ministry of Magic, you can't escape." Arthur Weasley said.

Yaxley, who was pressed by the wand, gave up the idea of ​​resisting. He couldn't guarantee that his movements would be faster than the dirty Weasley. In desperation, Yaxley could only accept his fate, follow the Auror and leave obediently, and was temporarily imprisoned.

The arrest of Yaxley was carried out without any cover-up, and everyone in the ministry quickly learned about it, as well as the news that Yaxley was a suspected Death Eater.

Just this morning, the Ministry of Magic carried out a safe transfer of the key protected subject Florin Fusco in advance, but the Auror was ambushed by Death Eaters just after he walked out of the ward. This easily makes people think that someone was betraying him secretly. Ministry of Magic action plan.

Everyone had been discussing the matter with acquaintances throughout the morning, and everyone looked like a traitor to the Ministry of Magic. Some people who are timid and unable to suppress things even feel that the ministry is no longer safe and that everyone except themselves is the bad guy.

Not long after arriving in the afternoon, word spread that Yaxley had been arrested and he was identified as a Death Eater. People immediately accused him of betraying the Ministry of Magic's operation plan.

As for Yaxley's defense and his accusations against Thicknesse and Weasley, no one paid much attention to it.

Thicknesse's rise to power was all thanks to Drizzt's support. This sentence has been spread throughout the Ministry of Magic before today. This news is not breaking news at all, and it is not Ada herself sitting on the chair of the Minister of Magic.

The relationship between Arthur Weasley and Drizzt is well known to everyone. Everyone knew it during the Quidditch World Cup. The matter of old sesame seeds and rotten millet is not new at all.
