Chapter 1602 Rise of the Dark Lord

"Ivan, is that your Minister of Magic?" Gabriel asked, looking at Scrimgeour's back, "You and Harry rejected him just now?!"

"Well, I can't say it's a refusal, it's just that our positions are different! Just like trains on different tracks, our positions are destined to be different from Scrimgeour's." Ivan replied, rubbing Gabriel's head.

Gabriel nodded half-understood, not sure if she understood.

"I think he's a nuisance!" said Ginny. "He just wants to use you and Harry."

"He's not a good guy anyway!" Elaine nodded in agreement, "He's not good to us either, restricting the area where vampires can move..."

"Look, I'm sure to give Percy a good beating when I get back," said Ron loudly, too.

"Forget it," Hermione said, "Many of the Ministry of Magic's practices are really unpopular, but they are fighting Voldemort, it is undeniable, and we are not the enemy."

At least not right now, but it won't be that way for long.

Confronting Voldemort head-on, the Ministry won't last long...

At this time, Sirius came over and asked, "What does Scrimgeour want to do?"

"As before, he wants us to reveal inside information about Dumbledore to him, and let Ivan and I act as the new ambassadors of the Ministry of Magic to deceive others." Harry said.

"We refused, and he didn't look very happy." Ivan continued, "The bad thing is that Scrimgeour doesn't seem willing to admit the current bad situation, and he doesn't want to cooperate with the Order of the Phoenix against Voldemort in the way we recognize. The position of the Ministry of Magic means that they can only choose to fight head-on, and then destroy."

"Alas, Scrimgeour is a competent Auror, but he is not a sensible Minister for Magic." Sirius was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "The school board's reply came back, and after Scrimgeour's intervention Now, they don't intend to close Hogwarts, but I doubt how many students will be willing to come back next term, even if there are more guards protecting the place, it will still be very dangerous here."

"But it's more dangerous at home, isn't it? It's the same everywhere now."

"I actually think that if Harry and I don't return to Hogwarts, Voldemort won't do anything to other students for the time being," Ivan said.

Voldemort's purpose was to rule, not to kill all wizards, and the students were no threat.

What's more, the significance of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is extraordinary, and Voldemort will probably use it as a base to train dark wizards to join his army.

If the school is closed, he will get nothing.

But about this, Ivan is not too sure, who knows how crazy Voldemort will become when he combines with the evil god.

"Ivan, Harry, we need to discuss carefully about not going back to school and the plan you two told me last time." Sirius said worriedly, knowing that Ivan and the others planned to set off to find The remaining two keys to the secret treasure and the matter of destroying the remaining Horcruxes, but they did not fully agree with their idea, "Before that, Harry, you have to go back to the Dursleys' house so that Lily can stay The magic on you is effective. Then, I will accompany you to Godric's Valley to see your parents' graves...Ewen, you should also go home to accompany your parents this summer!"

Yes, this is the last summer vacation, and Ivan really hasn't been back for a long time.

He should really go home this summer, or spend some time at Hermione's.

Then, he was going to Gringotts to take out the gold cup, which was both a Horcrux and the key to Hufflepuff's secret treasure, which was very crucial.

In view of the defense of Gringotts and the troublesomeness of the goblins, Ivan intends to go after the chaos in the wizarding world. It is best to wait until Voldemort takes over Gringotts and the goblins escape, then things will be much simpler.

"Don't forget Bill and Fleur's wedding." Ron reminded, "Before that, you have to come to my house first."

"That's right, it's something we shouldn't miss," said Sirius.

"Also, you are going to visit my house." Gabriel hurriedly said, "If you can't return to Hogwarts, you can come to Beauxbatons next semester, Madam Maxime will welcome you."

"Or how about going to the United States?" Elaine continued, "I heard from my uncle that the magic world in the United States is amazing. They are more closely integrated with Muggles than we are here. We can go to Muggle schools. There are a lot of wizards, vampires and werewolves in my Muggle school. Oh, yes, they call Muggles No-Majs there."

In this way, there will be no head. France, the United States, and Ivan planned to go to China before. These sound more like study tours and travels. The prospects before them are not so bright, but a dark and tortuous road.

At the end of this road, they will face to face with Voldemort and the evil gods.

The difficult prospect seems to be able to bring out the beauty of the peaceful golden days in front of him. Ivan did not deny Gabriel and Elaine's thoughts, but talked about them along their lines of thought.

One day, they will go back to see the wider and more wonderful magical world...

................................................... ...................................................

The endless night fell, and the light seemed to disappear.

On a narrow, moonlit path, two men appeared out of nowhere a few yards apart.

They stood motionless, pointing their wands at each other's chests; soon they recognized each other, put their wands under their robes, and sped off in the same direction.

"Any news?" the taller of the two asked.

"Excellent news," Severus Snape replied.

The left side of the path is covered with dense low brambles, while the right side is a tall and neatly trimmed hedge.

The two moved forward quickly, their robes slapping their ankles.

"Really? Good news?" Yaxley asked skeptically, his awkward figure looming now and then as the branches above obscured the moonlight. It is more difficult than imagined, I hope he will be satisfied, it sounds like you are very confident in your meeting?"

Snape nodded, but did not elaborate.

They turned into a wide driveway on the right and left the lane.

The tall hedges turned a corner with them, and an ornate iron gate in the distance blocked them, but neither of them stopped.

In the silence, they raised their right hands as if saluting, and then went straight through the iron gate. The black metal seemed to be just a cloud of smoke.
