Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1630 A War Without Winners (Eighty)

The news of Kingsley's attack spread quickly throughout the British wizarding world.

Although two werewolves took the blame, anyone who was not a fool could see that the attack was not an accident, but a carefully planned conspiracy against the temporary minister, Kingsley Shacklebolt.

Someone wanted to kill Kingsley or drive him out of office, otherwise there would never be a ridiculous scene where two werewolves happened to appear "near" Kingsley's house during the full moon. That was not only to threaten Kingsley and his family, but also to force Kingsley to bravely stand up to protect his family and fight the two transformed werewolves head-on.

That meant that Kingsley would face the risk of being bitten or killed by werewolves.

Fortunately, Kingsley acted decisively and used dark magic to kill a werewolf as soon as possible, and used it as a deterrent to drive away the other werewolf.

Otherwise, if he was really besieged by two werewolves, the consequences would be disastrous.

That is why the Wizengamot convened an emergency meeting immediately after the attack. They all realized that some things could not be delayed any longer, otherwise they did not know what bad things would happen next.

The plan to shorten Kingsley's temporary ministerial term was quickly passed by the Wizengamot with a crushing vote.

Kingsley only needs to hold another election and get the nominal recognition of British wizards to take off his temporary hat. Everyone in the Ministry of Magic knows that the voting process is just a routine process.

Voters are never important. They are only given a sense of participation. The vote counters have already decided everything in secret. Unless Kingsley does something as infuriating as Fudge did in the past, there will be no surprises in the voting results.

Only one day later, the Ministry of Magic announced through the Daily Prophet that the voting ended early. Kingsley had obtained 65% of the votes in the entire British wizarding world and officially and legally took over the position of Minister of Magic. The speed was so fast that many pure bloods who once supported Voldemort did not have time to react.

The purebloods, led by Perkins, therefore held an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with the next problem.

They actually expected Kingsley to take over as the new minister, but they did not expect it to be so fast and in such an urgent way.

Especially the sudden werewolf attack, which was simply an assist for Kingsley. Those who did not know thought that the two werewolves after transformation were actors arranged by Kingsley for himself.

What surprised them most was that none of them dared to admit that they had sent the two werewolves to attack Kingsley.

Could it be that the two werewolves really wanted to take revenge on Kingsley, so they took the initiative to run to Kingsley's home during the full moon?

Who are they trying to fool?

Moreover, the other werewolf who escaped was eventually killed, which was enough to show that the whole thing was a murder by someone against Kingsley.

If the thing succeeded, I believe the people behind the scenes would be willing to admit it, but if it failed, no one would be willing to take the blame.

Even though they cursed the guy who was more trouble than success in their hearts, the matter still needed to be resolved.

Because Kingsley used his power as the Minister of Magic to announce a lot of news as soon as he became the Minister of Magic, and added a lot of temporary legal provisions to the Ministry of Magic, providing a legal basis for the Aurors to use dark magic reasonably.

According to the latest temporary law, Aurors are allowed to kill the werewolves who transformed and were out of control under the full moon on the spot when necessary to ensure their personal safety.

Everyone realized that the new minister was going to kill people.

Those newly added temporary laws were obviously aimed at Death Eaters and dark wizards.

Not long after Kingsley's temporary legal bill was announced, some dark wizards who stayed in the UK chose to leave directly, not intending to offend Kingsley.

The new minister encountered such a mess, and he would inevitably carry out a large-scale sweep of the entire British magic world after taking office.

Whether it was for revenge or for other reasons, Kingsley had to do something.

This is true. Many gray areas are facing the arrival of Aurors. Some blind guys filled Azkaban prison in a few days.

The most fucked up thing is that Kingsley made a bold attempt, although most people suspected that this was a visible trap.

Yes, there are no Aurors guarding Azkaban prison, and the Ministry of Magic did not even confiscate the prisoners' wands.

It was just that on the day they entered the prison, they were informed of the various risks that were about to come.

Among them, one of the most serious regulations is:

Anyone who dares to escape from prison will be wanted by the British Ministry of Magic and face the risk of being shot on the spot if caught next time. If you don't believe it, you can demonstrate it to everyone in person.

This style of waiting for you to escape from prison and then finding an excuse to kill you makes all the prisoners in Azkaban clearly feel the undisguised malice of the new minister.

This is also one of the main reasons why no one is willing to die and escape even if there are not many guards in Azkaban.

The guys who will be imprisoned here can be released from prison without charge in a few months at most, so there is no need to take this risk.

Of course, some of Kingsley's formal style has also been questioned by the entire magic world, but this question was quickly suppressed by a magical Azkaban prison break.

No one expected that the prisoners in Azkaban prison not only did not want to escape, but also took the initiative to repel the dark wizards who came to break the prison, which really stunned everyone, and all the doubts stopped in an instant.

In fact, anyone with a little bit of brains knows that those vicious guys will never be imprisoned in Azkaban Prison and wait for the dark wizards to rescue them.

Kingsley is not a fool and will not make such a mistake. The group of wizards who made small mistakes only need to pay a fine and do not have to be treated harshly. To put it bluntly, throwing them into Azkaban is to hope that they can correct their mistakes, instead of using the notorious reputation of Azkaban prison to deter prisoners and prevent them from committing crimes as in the past.

As we all know, the effect of doing so is usually mediocre.

The best way to stop crime is to increase the cost of crime.

In Albert's words, the cost of crime has increased, so many wizards will calm down and carefully consider whether crime is worthwhile.

After all, no one wants to spend money to go to jail.

Therefore, after having enough funds, even the environment in Azkaban Prison has improved a lot.

However, behind the relaxed rules, there is still a set of very strict laws that everyone needs to abide by consciously, unless they still want to continue to spend money to go to jail, or lose their lives.
