Chapter 292 'Minister's Wrath'

After placing his injured men in St. Mungo's Infirmary, Rufus Scrimgeour hurried back to the Ministry of Magic.

The first thing he did when he returned to the Ministry of Magic was to meet Cornelius Fudge.

"Director, you'd better not go in yet, Secretary Connelly is throwing a tantrum in the office."

Outside the minister's office, Delis kindly reminded his boss Rufus Scrimgeour, but Scrimgeour did not listen to his kind advice.

Still headstrong, he opened the office door and walked into the minister's office.

At this time, the office was already crowded with Aurors.

"While the robbers were attacking Gringotts, they also deployed anti-Apparition spells around Diagon Alley and set up large magic barriers to resist our attack."

An Auror was standing in front of the minister's desk, introducing Fudge to everything that happened in Diagon Alley at that time.

On the table,

It's a huge piece of parchment spread out,

It shows the architectural layout of Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley next door.

Scrimgeour pushed aside the wizard blocking the way and walked to the front of the crowd.

"They occupied the entire Diagon Alley and relied on the buildings in Diagon Alley to set up defensive positions to fight against us."

Fudge waved the hand holding the quill in front of him nonchalantly, "There are more than two hundred Aurors and strikers we sent to Diagon Alley. The group of robbers are just a bunch of chickens in the face of such power.

It’s just a tile dog.”

After thinking for a while, Fudge, who was wearing a pair of reading glasses, added, "And the Aurors are still under the leadership of Scrimgeour, our most outstanding Auror Office Director."

After hearing Fudge's words, the wizard who was briefing the minister looked at Kingsley Shacklebolt silently.

"Minister..." His tone was trembling, "Director Scrimgeour..."

The Auror did not dare to continue speaking, and another of his colleagues had to take over his words and continue.

"Director Scrimgeour... failed to catch the robbers who robbed Gringotts."

There was silence in the room for a long time.

Cornelius Fudge used his trembling arms to take off his reading glasses. An action that was usually very simple seemed extremely difficult at this moment.

"Scrimgeour, Kingsley, Kreps and Burgdorf stay."

Cornelius Fudge's voice was almost inaudible, but in such a silent environment it seemed particularly clear.

Most people exited the study room.

Dellux, who was standing outside the office, heard Connelly's loud roar.

"There are only about thirty people on the other side! Over thirty people!"

"There are more than two hundred people in the Auror and Striker force! You can't take down just a few robbers!"

Connelly stood up from behind his desk and waved his short arms excitedly.

"You just watch them loot the vault under Gringotts and then walk away!"

"Coward! Traitor! Bastard!"

Scrimgeour protested loudly without fear: "Minister, these words are a bit excessive!"

Fudge shouted back louder than him,

"You Aurors are the scum of the Ministry of Magic!"

He slammed the quill in his hand onto the table. The quill collided with the table and made a crisp sound.

"I'm so angry!"

"You Aurors have gone through many years of training before officially joining the ranks, and you have also spent a lot of resources in the ministry. In the end, you only learned how to eat with a knife and fork!"

In the office, Fudge's roar continued: "Where has the glory of the Auror force gone when the mysterious man was wreaking havoc!? All you are doing is holding me back!"

"I should have dumped you all in Azkaban to feed the Dementors!

Cornelius Fudge, tired of scolding, sat back in his chair with a tired look on his face.

"Although I did not continue training in the Auror office after completing my studies at Hogwarts, my abilities were recognized by Albus Dumbledore!"

Gu Min

When saying this, Fudge proudly beat his chest with both fists.

Everyone knew that Fudge was referring to Dumbledore's selection of him as Minister of Magic.

"Rebel him!"

Fudge then uttered a few more curse words, and the Aurors outside the door clearly captured a few words of C language, as well as his cordial greetings to Dumbledore.

In fact, Fudge's words were a greeting to the mothers of the robbers, but the problem is that Kyle is one of the robbers, and his biological mother is Albus Dumbledore, so it is also a cordial greeting to Dumbledore.

no problem.

"This is an unforgivable betrayal of those who trust the Ministry of Magic!"

"Catch all those robbers!

There was a bit of murderous intent in Fudge's tone, "In addition to asking them to return the money they took away from Gringotts, I also want them to use their own blood to atone for their sins!"

"They will drown in their own blood!"

Outside the office door, a trainee witch who had just joined the Auror department could not help sobbing softly when she heard the minister was so angry.

next to her,

Fellow trainee Auror Nymphadora Tonks comforted her irritably: "It's okay, Gerda."

Tonks knew why Fudge was so angry.

According to an anonymous Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt,

A total of ten vaults in Gringotts were ransacked this time, and Minister Cornelius Fudge's personal vault was among them.

Minister Fudge alone accounted for 40% of Gringotts' losses this time.

Because other big families, based on the principle that eggs cannot be put in the same basket and distrust of goblins, they will only store part of their property in Gringotts.

The remaining property will be stored in the treasury of their own mansion.

For example, there is a huge treasure trove under the Malfoy Manor, and the property they store in Gringotts is less than half of their family's savings.

This is why Sirius was able to sneak back to the Black Mansion when he was still a wanted criminal and withdraw money to buy Harry a Firebolt.

As for our beloved Secretary Connelly, he is more miserable.

In order to maintain the image of a clean minister in public, Fudge lived with his wife and children in a dilapidated small building in Godric's Hollow.

Even after taking office, the minister had the right to build a ministerial residence for himself. After all, construction in the wizarding world could be easily solved with a wave of a magic wand, but Connelly still refused.

Every time during the informal working hours of the Ministry of Magic, when subordinates had urgent matters to discuss with the Incorruptible Minister, the Minister could always be seen slurping down a bowl of noodles in the dark dining room.

A mouthful of noodles and a clove of garlic cost nothing for Kang Dehan.

It is precisely because he lives in a dilapidated small residential building that Fudge cannot build a secret vault at home like those big families who own luxurious mansions, so he can only store all his property in Gringotts.

Moreover, Gringotts' confidentiality system also reassured him that the people in the wizarding world would never know how much savings he, the minister, had.

result……

Well, now that they were also robbed, those big families could still retain 60 to 70% of their property, but Cornelius was not so lucky and became a pauper.

Even the Weasley family, recognized as the poorest in the wizarding world, their family's apparent wealth is currently wealthier than that of Fudge.

At any rate, there is still a gold galleon in his treasury, but Fudge's treasury is really empty.

If it weren't for his years of corruption... Bah, hard work was wiped out overnight, Fudge would never have said such a thing to the Aurors under him.

What frightened Fudge even more was the huge sign that appeared over Diagon Alley.

That was Voldemort's symbol, but didn't Voldemort die in Godric's Hollow that night more than ten years ago?

Why do the Death Eaters who follow him still appear in Diagon Alley and commit such heinous and heartbreaking crimes?

In the room, "The Minister's Wrath" continued to play out.

Cornelius Fudge sat on the chair with his head lowered, "All Aurors have become useless in the long-term peace. How can such an Auror office handle the tasks I have assigned you?"

His face was full of sorrow for Jin Gallon, "You can do whatever you want."

After hearing the minister's words, the few people in the room silently left.
