Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

? At 9:05, Scrimgeour was making a passionate speech on the stage. The content of his speech was nothing more than that the current situation is very good, and everyone is getting ready to celebrate the holidays, so it is time to take advantage of this good situation to buy more New Year's goods.

Zhang was standing in the audience, with Fleur on the left, Luna on the right, and Ginny behind who kept kicking herself.

Last night Ginny was "released from prison." The first thing she did after coming out of the dungeon was to seek revenge on someone Zhang. As a result, she got the news that someone Zhang had already gone to Hogsmeade. So she waited until this morning to kick him a few times to relieve her hatred.

Furong looked back at Ginny, who was angry, and then at Zhang Xu, who pretended not to care. She smiled, shook her head and ignored them.

While the Northern Minister of Magic was giving a speech to a large group of wizards in the audience, the Southern Minister of Magic was also reporting to his master on recent work.

Voldemort and Bellatrix had disappeared for many days, and this was their first regular meeting since their return yesterday.

As for where the two of them had been during this period, the Death Eaters present were too sensible to ask. Rodolphus Lestrange had been captured when Majiazhuang was burned down, so the Death Eaters in the conference room were emotionally stable.

Only Snape vaguely knew that what Voldemort was going to do was related to the previous battle in front of St. Mungo's. Voldemort first asked him to obtain the memories of all the Death Eaters who escaped that day, and then took the bottles containing the memories with him. Just disappeared.

After that, no one knew where he went or what he did, except for a few orders such as the kidnapping of Mrs. Weasley.

Snape's instinct told him that there was a guy who should know something, but the other person didn't say anything.

At this time, Malfoy reported on the Northern Ministry's proposal for a truce during Christmas.

After hearing this, Voldemort was noncommittal. He just tapped the table with the Elder Wand in a specific rhythm, and then motioned for Malfoy to continue the report.

The next piece of content was about the attack on Gling Lord. Malfoy spent more than twenty minutes reporting the ins and outs of this incident to Voldemort in detail.

After listening to everything, Voldemort did not speak, but stood up and walked to the window and paced back and forth.

The Death Eaters on both sides of the long table looked at the Dark Lord with bated breath, fearing that the sound they made would interrupt their master's thoughts.

A full five minutes passed,

Voldemort returned to his seat and sat down.

"Lucius, is Draco still in Azkaban?" Voldemort asked.

Lao Ma didn't expect Voldemort to ask him this question first, and was stunned for a moment on the spot. Madam Ma, who was sitting next to him, looked at him anxiously, with pleading in her eyes.

Lao Ma ignored his wife's gaze, nodded and said, "Yes, he is still locked up there."

Since a large number of Dementors were wiped out by Zhang Xu and others in the Peak District National Park, the remaining Dementors have hid back in Azkaban to recuperate.

The Northern Ministry of Magic thought that it was no longer useful and ignored that place. But they didn't know that it had been reactivated by Voldemort. However, since the dementors have been cut off from the source of "food additives", the situation of the prisoners there is now much better than in previous years.

Voldemort played with the Elder Wand and said: "You dare to disobey my order for a girl. It is really a mistake made because of your youth."

Lao Ma and his wife did not dare to speak.

After Draco Malfoy's attempt to take away Mullie Lawrence from Hogwarts in the hope of fishing out a Death Eater spy failed, Voldemort ordered that the useless Mullie be disposed of.

However, what the Death Eaters who went on the mission didn't expect was that Master Malfoy actually injured them and then ran away with his cousin.

In the end, Lao Ma personally took action and captured the pony and the others, and then before Voldemort got mad, he just threw the two of them into Azkaban.

Although Voldemort was very angry at the pony for daring to disobey his orders, considering that the pony was very useful to him, he first sold him a favor and postponed any treatment of the pony.

To Voldemort, betrayal was a crime without mercy. Seeing their master mentioning old things again, Lao Ma and his wife suddenly became nervous.

"I should kill them both." Voldemort glanced at the pale Malfoy couple, and then continued, "But I can't give them both a chance."

In the expectant eyes of the old Ma couple, Voldemort said: "Let them retrieve something for me, and then I will pretend that nothing happened."

"Thank you for your kindness, my master." Although he could guess that helping Voldemort would involve risking his life, Lao Ma still thanked his master for giving his son a chance to live.

"But I never want to see either of them again," Voldemort said.

"I will send them to the United States afterward." Lao Ma replied immediately.

After dealing with this small matter, Voldemort glanced at the Death Eaters on both sides of the long table. The Death Eaters immediately straightened their backs when they knew their master was about to give an order.

"Goblins, those greedy, despicable lower creatures, have been crawling on the bodies of noble wizards and sucking blood for hundreds of years." Voldemort said with a solemn face, "This history should end, and those lower animals should be locked up in In a cage, working as a slave for our noble wizard."

The eyes of the Death Eaters present suddenly lit up. Gringotts is such a huge piece of fat. If they can take a bite, they will get back all the money they cheated by a certain guy back then, and they can even divide that guy. The contents of the vault. Although magic is the basis of everything for wizards, no one would be satisfied with a lack of money.

Then Voldemort ordered: "Lucius, please reply to Hogsmeade and we agree to a temporary ceasefire before the Christmas holidays."

"Severus, you start selecting people today."

"August, Gargson, Selwyn, you are now responsible for monitoring every move of Gringotts."

Orders were issued one after another, and the Death Eaters whose names were called stood up to accept the orders.

Finally, Voldemort said, "I want Gringotts as your Christmas gift to me."

Unlike other countries where the Ministry of Magic only used economic and administrative means to attack the local Gringotts, Voldemort chose the most brutal and straightforward approach to seize control of Gringotts. After killing all the goblins, Gringotts will naturally fall into his hands. If the goblins dare to launch a rebellion again, they must first ask the Death Eaters whether the wands in their hands will answer.

Only Bellatrix knew that most of her master's hatred for the goblins in Gringotts came from the fact that a cup he had entrusted to his collection was moved by the goblins to someone's vault.
