"According to the latest information we received from Gadwin Robards, the head of the Auror Office, the current Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, recently accepted Kingsley Shacklebolt's proposal to secretly send most of the Aurors to attend the Weasleys' wedding. We believe that Harry Potter is very likely to appear at the wedding. It is said that he has a close relationship with the Weasleys..."
Yaxley was making a temporary mobilization of the remaining Death Eaters before attacking the Ministry of Magic.
Today's action was more of an accident.
If Yaxley had not suddenly obtained this important information from Pius Thicknesse, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, who was under his control, he would never have tried to persuade the Dark Lord to change his original plan and take advantage of the Ministry of Magic's defense to directly attack the Ministry of Magic, kill Scrimgeour and completely control the Ministry of Magic.
Compared to the so-called savior Potter, Scrimgeour is the biggest enemy of the Death Eaters. Counting the Death Eaters who fell around him, almost all of them were ordered to be executed by that bastard. How could they not feel shocked and angry
Now, the time has finally come to settle the blood debt with Scrimgeour.
In order to make the whole plan go more smoothly, Yaxley also sent a small number of dark wizards to create chaos. They successfully destroyed Big Ben on the Thames in London and led out a large number of employees and Aurors in the Ministry of Magic.
After all, their goal was not to annihilate the Aurors and employees of the Ministry of Magic, but to kill Scrimgeour and ultimately take control of the Ministry of Magic through a coup and completely disintegrate the resistance forces within the Ministry. By then, even the Aurors would be forced to submit to them.
The plan went smoothly, and they invaded the Ministry of Magic when its defense was the least, without encountering much resistance. At least, after a few fools fell, no one had the courage to resist.
Perhaps, as Yaxley said, Scrimgeour probably didn't expect that they would dare to attack the Ministry of Magic openly.
In fact, not only Scrimgeour, but even the employees of the Ministry of Magic could not understand how the Death Eaters dared to do this, and they did not understand why the Aurors and crisis response team members were indifferent to this
Until everyone saw Voldemort appear in the Ministry of Magic, they were completely desperate.
Draco looked blankly at the Ministry of Magic controlled by the dark wizards, feeling the terrified looks from the surrounding Ministry employees. He lowered his eyes, bit his lips, and tried hard to suppress the fear in his heart and try not to look directly at the Dark Lord.
"Master, our men have captured Scrimgeour," Yaxley said respectfully. "He tried to resist, but we have subdued him."
"You did a good job." Voldemort was very satisfied with Yaxley. "Tell me about your next plan."
"I have just used the Imperius Curse to control Gadwin Robards, and he is on his way to Weiss's wedding." The Dark Lord's praise made Yaxley ecstatic. He talked about his next plan as he walked. "Gadwin Robards will tell the Aurors what happened in the Ministry of Magic and help us recall the Aurors. Then the others can take the opportunity to attack the chaotic wedding and capture Harry Potter."
As for the group of Aurors who rushed back, what should we do
Yaxley was not worried. He believed that as long as Voldemort himself guarded the Ministry of Magic, those guys would not be able to cause any trouble.
"I believe that as long as the master completely controls the Ministry of Magic, it will not be difficult to catch those bugs hiding in the rat holes."
"very good!"
After Yaxley opened the door, Voldemort walked into the Minister of Magic's office.
The famous Iron-Blooded Minister Scrimgeour was being restrained in his office chair by a spell, staring blankly at the people who suddenly broke in.
The moment he saw Scrimgeour, Voldemort frowned slightly. He always felt something was wrong.
"We just gave Scrimgeour a nausea suppressant, but he has no idea of Harry Potter's whereabouts."
Walton MacNeill bowed slightly to the Dark Lord, and in revenge for Scrimgeour, he tortured him, but gained nothing except some screams.
"Who are you?"
Voldemort suddenly asked a question that made the Death Eaters around him extremely confused.
"S..."
The person sitting in the seat suddenly began to tremble violently all over, as if he had epilepsy.
Voldemort's face suddenly darkened, and he raised his wand to cast a spell on Scrimgeour.
The next moment, Scrimgeour's face melted like a candle, and soon a brand new face appeared in front of everyone.
This person is not Scrimgeour at all, but a dark wizard who was once captured by Scrimgeour.
At this moment, everyone realized that they had been deceived, deceived by Scrimgeour. That guy knew from the beginning that the Death Eaters would take the opportunity to attack the Ministry of Magic and kill him, so he specially prepared an impostor to pretend to be dead.
"this… "
Yaxley's eyes widened involuntarily, a bad feeling coming over him, he knew he had messed up.
"Avada Kedavra!"
A beam of green light hit the poor fake minister, ending his life completely.
The minister's office suddenly became eerily quiet. The Shi Si disciples felt the mysterious man's anger and lowered their heads.
No one dared to offend the Dark Lord unless he was tired of living.
"Scrimgeour will definitely attend Wesley's wedding." Yaxley's voice trembled slightly. No one would have thought that Scrimgeour would use the entire Ministry of Magic as bait.
"That guy has long discovered that we have planted people in the Ministry of Magic. He has set a trap from the beginning. I'm afraid the situation in the humble room is not optimistic!"
"Control the Ministry of Magic and don't let me down again!"
Voldemort glanced at Yaxley and walked out with the other Death Eaters. They had no other choice now.
Scrimgeour must die!
Otherwise, similar things will definitely happen again and they will not be able to afford any more losses.
Looking at the Dark Lord who was leaving in a hurry, Draco, who had just learned the news, leaned lightly against the wall, and was completely stunned.
If this was a trap set by Scrimgeour, then it was obvious what would happen to the Death Eaters who went to the shack to capture Harry.
That guy with blood on his hands never shows mercy to the Death Eaters.
And his father...
no!
Draco knew he had to inform his father, that it was a trap from the beginning, but... Draco's legs couldn't stop shaking.
No one cared about Draco, no one looked up to this wimp, and no Death Eater recognized Draco Malfoy as one of them.
Even though the Dark Lord allowed Malfoy and his son to participate in the Death Eater meeting, no one really took him seriously.
Draco eventually overcame his fear.
Glancing at the figure rushing outside, Yaxley didn't take it to heart and started his work.
"Piers, I need you to take over the position of Minister of Magic and announce to the public that Scrimgeour died in the line of duty." Yaxley paused and continued to assign positions: "Umbridge will resume the position of Deputy Minister of Magic and assist Piers in managing the Ministry of Magic. As for the position of Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, I will temporarily take over..."
Yaxley accepted Umbridge's advice and decided not to make any major changes for the time being, so as to avoid affecting other people's interests and arousing resistance from too many people, causing the Ministry of Magic to fall into complete chaos.
Umbridge, who had been in the Ministry of Magic for decades, obviously understood the Ministry of Magic better than most people, and Yaxley chose to accept her plan.
