Chapter 301 The Ministry of Magic's Counterattack

"Death Eaters ravage England - Godric's Hollow is destroyed

Last night, the notorious Death Eater Ike Strider and the werewolves destroyed Godric's Hollow with extremely cruel means. The houses of a large number of Muggle and wizarding families were burned to the ground...

So far, seventeen Muggles have been killed and more than 300 people injured; twenty-four wizards have been killed. The following is the list of victims...

...The Ministry of Magic has still not responded to this..."

"Bang!"

Scrimgeour slammed the Daily Prophet onto the table, with anger written all over his face. He had only been in office for a few months, but he had become much older, as if he had suddenly aged more than twenty years. He had golden hair.

One-third of my hair has turned white.

The pressure from Voldemort and his Death Eaters was too great!

Attacks are happening every day. Dementors, giants, werewolves, vampires and various dark creatures are everywhere. Whether they are wizards or Muggles, they are their targets, spreading fear without any scruples.

In contrast, people from the Ministry of Magic have to worry about the existence of the "Statutory of Secrecy" and are somewhat constrained in fighting the Death Eaters. At the same time, the fighting qualities of the two are not on the same level.

Except for Aolo, most of the people in the Ministry of Magic have poor combat abilities. Even if they purchase and equip the "Anti-Spell Series" products produced by Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, it often takes two or three people to work together to deal with one

Voldemort's men were unable to arrest him.

Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, in the past few months after Voldemort announced his return, the Ministry of Magic was completely at a disadvantage and could even be said to have no power to fight back.

Although some results have been achieved, it is impossible for the Ministry of Magic to gain public recognition by arresting those who want to make a fortune and confiscating some cursed magic items.

People chose Scrimgeour to be the new Minister of Magic because they hoped that the Ministry of Magic could defeat the Dark Lord under his leadership, rather than wiping the ass of the Death Eaters. In their view, this is what the Ministry of Magic is doing now.

.

Scrimgeour sat on the chair, leaning back completely on the chair. His eyes glanced at the "Daily Prophet" on the table. He was silent for a long time, and finally picked it up again. But without even looking at it twice, he threw it away again.

aside.

"Bang bang, bang... minister?"

"Come in!"

There was a knock on the door, and Scrimgeour straightened up his appearance a little before letting someone in. When he looked up, a smile appeared on his face.

"Kingsley, sit down quickly...how are you doing? Is there any good news?"

Shacklebolt Kingsley bowed to Scrimgeour, sat on the chair opposite him, and said: "I'm sorry, Minister, we were a step late and didn't catch Strider, only a few who ran slowly.

The werewolf was caught."

"Bang!" Scrimgeour hammered the table angrily and stood up suddenly, "Damn! Damn! What's the use of those werewolves! Can werewolves stop the people's mouths!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the "Daily Prophet" and threw it again. This time the newspaper was thrown to pieces.

Kingsley did not get up, but slowly tidied up the scattered newspapers and placed them neatly back on the table.

He knew very well that Scrimgeour was just venting his anger, and the recent events had really made him a little anxious. As the Minister of Magic, he had undoubtedly endured most of the pressure.

Scrimgeour breathed heavily and stood there for a while, finally calming down a little. He tidied his somewhat messy hair and sat back on the chair, his face regaining his composure.

"You must have read today's newspaper, Kingsley?" he asked.

"Yes, Minister," Kingsley replied.

"We don't have enough manpower...I mean, those who can fight on the front line." Scrimgeour said slowly, "Apart from Ao Luo, only Arthur and the people in his office can be of any use.

…”

"Of course I know that those people are not good at fighting in the first place. They have been working as civilians in the Ministry of Magic for so many years, but even so, it's not like they can't even use a qualified armor spell!" Scrimgeour's tone!

He was very serious, but his wide eyes were full of disappointment.

"I really don't know how Hogwarts teaches..."

"Minister!" Kingsley suddenly interrupted Scrimgeour, "We and Dumbledore have the same goal in fighting the Dark Lord."

"Yeah, yeah..." Scrimgeour also reacted, but his face was a little more angry and complaining, "We have the same goal, but the newspapers are full of articles criticizing me."

"That's Dumbledore, the only person the Dark Lord fears, but he can't even defeat a teenage wizard..."

This time, Kingsley remained silent. He knew very well that the minister in front of him still followed the same path as his predecessor. This was expected and inevitable.

As long as Dumbledore is still alive, no matter who sits in the position of Minister of Magic, he will be deeply wary of him. After all, no ambitious person will tolerate a person who cannot be controlled by him to be wandering around all the time.

I also have to rely on others for some things.

Everyone knows that when it comes to defeating the Dark Lord, compared to the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore and his Order of the Phoenix are the real main force.

Although they haven't achieved any good results yet.

After talking for a while, and having vented enough, Scrimgeour finally stopped. After taking a sip of tea from the cup, he cleared his throat and asked again: "Kingsley, I've been thinking lately, should we

Should we concentrate on cutting off some of the Dark Lord’s followers? It’s not okay to always be led by their noses. We simply cannot provide strong protection for our people.”

He knocked on the cover of the newspaper, pointed to the photo of "Burning Godric's Hollow" and said: "The dispersion of power gives them opportunities and makes us exhausted."

"Yes, yes, but minister, which wing of the Dark Lord should we eradicate?" Kingsley nodded and asked, "Werewolf, vampire, or giant?"

"With all due respect, this does not solve the underlying problem."

"Of course I know!" Scrimgeour glared at Kingsley and said, "But who among us can deal with those guys? Lestrange is fine, but what about Strider?"

"Then... I think we might as well target the werewolves." Kingsley thought for a moment and said, "Capture Fenrir Greyback, and then capture as many as possible and kill those vicious werewolves, maybe

It will weaken the Dark Lord's power to the greatest extent."

He also pointed to the photo in the newspaper and said: "According to Stan Sampack, the conductor of the Knight Bus, and the survivors, the only ones who really took action were the werewolves."

"Based on the current situation, compared to dementors and giants, eliminating werewolves is the easiest goal to achieve."

Hearing this, Scrimgeour fell into deep thought. After a long while, he sighed and nodded.

"Okay, that's it...but it seems I have to meet Dumbledore and have a good chat."
