It's always right to be cautious. After all, it concerns human life. Don't regret it later.
If Bill and Fleur's wedding had been this careful, perhaps there wouldn't be so many problems now.
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world.
After completing the preliminary arrangements, the three did not plan to return to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, but instead planned to find an empty house in a nearby Muggle village for a short rest, and by the way see if they could contact Kings and get some useful information from him.
The most difficult part of this rescue mission is actually only two points:
Find out whether the Death Eaters intend to imprison the Weisleys in Azkaban prison, and determine when they plan to leave.
If the intelligence was wrong, they would have wasted their time.
As for the dark wizards who sent the Weiss couple to Azkaban, they were not a problem at all. With Albert's overwhelming strength against most wizards, he could easily deal with them.
While resting and discussing the sorting plan, Sirius also contacted Kings.
Kingsley was worthy of being an elite Auror trained by the Ministry of Magic. He soon got accurate information from a former colleague: Arthur and Molly were indeed sent to the Ministry of Magic. Not only them, but also the guests who did not escape and were caught were also sent to the Ministry of Magic for interrogation. Only a small number of pure-blood wizards were directly released, and the rest of the unlucky ones were detained. The Weisleys were even more strictly interrogated.
After all, Ron was Harry Potter's best friend, Fred and George were Albert's good friends, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts items sold by the twins caused them a lot of trouble. Most importantly, the Westleys were members of the Order of the Phoenix and had sheltered Harry Potter more than once. If they didn't suffer, who would
If Alecto Carrow had not suggested to Voldemort that the Weisleys be used as a trap to lure Potter, Weisley or members of the Order of the Phoenix into the trap, the Weisleys would probably have been killed on the spot by Voldemort. However, as a punishment for the Weisleys for supporting Harry Potter, Voldemort killed the Weisleys' second son, Charlie, in front of them.
"The Ministry of Magic has completely fallen?" Albert had a strange expression on his face.
Generally speaking, it is difficult to do this in a short period of time. The vast majority of wizards resist and hate the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters. Even if they do not have the courage to stand up and resist, there are still many things that can cause trouble for them.
However, the Death Eaters were able to seize control of the Ministry within hours of Scrimgeour's death.
"They are just following orders after all. They originally followed Scrimgeour's orders to fight against You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters. Now that Scrimgeour is dead, it's not surprising that they are following the orders of the new Minister, Pius Thicknesse." Moody's words were full of sarcasm.
"Could he be under the control of the Imperius Curse? I remember that Pius Thicknesse seemed to be one of Scrimgeour's supporters." Sirius felt that the new minister was probably just an unlucky guy under the control of the Imperius Curse. There were countless similar cases.
"Perhaps, Thicknesse is under the Imperius Curse, but he is definitely a fence-sitter."
How could Moody, who had worked in the Ministry of Magic for decades, not know what kind of person Thickness was
"He probably joined the Death Eaters after being controlled by the Imperius Curse."
"If I were him, I would do the same. In this day and age, only fence-sitters can live well. After all, Scrimgeour is dead. What else can he do if he doesn't join the Death Eaters? It's better to find an excuse for himself. No matter which side wins in the end, his situation won't be too bad. After all, he won't be responsible for anything he does after being controlled by the Imperius Curse."
Albert could understand Thicknesse's approach. It was obviously unrealistic to expect everyone to stand up and resist the mysterious man like the members of the Order of the Phoenix.
Living in such a bad era, protecting the safety of themselves and their families is what most British wizards value most. It is impossible to say who is wrong, because no one is wrong at all. They just put their hopes on the savior, hoping that Harry can defeat the mysterious man!
It was all thanks to Harry Potter who won in the end and led them to victory without any effort, otherwise God knows what would have become of the British Ministry of Magic.
"So, he still hasn't figured out the most important news!"
Sirius also knew that it was unrealistic to ask Kings to find out when the Death Eaters planned to send Arthur and Molly to Azkaban, but he still couldn't help but complain.
It was all thanks to Albert's divination, otherwise they would probably still be kept in the dark.
"I asked him to bring a map of the Ministry of Magic," Moody said suddenly.
Since the Human Sign Charm can be effective in Hogwarts, there should be no problem at the Ministry of Magic. By then, we will be able to find out the situation inside the Ministry of Magic through the Marauder's Map.
"This is a good idea. Why didn't we think of it just now?" Sirius turned his head to look at Albert. He was actually more surprised that Albert had never thought of using this method to monitor the Ministry of Magic.
"The Human Tracking Curse can actually be blocked." Although Albert said this, he also agreed with Moody's suggestion. Most wizards probably would not have thought that someone would use this method to monitor the Ministry of Magic.
However, there is a saying that plans cannot keep up with changes. Before Kings arrived with the map, a dazzling red light flashed on Albert's left wrist, instantly attracting the attention of the other two.
"What's going on?"
"The ship has departed," Albert said softly, "even earlier than I expected!"
"Are we going to intercept them now?" Sirius frowned slightly, "But Dobby hasn't helped us bring the broom."
Without broomsticks, they couldn't fly, let alone intercept the Ministry of Magic's ship heading to Azkaban.
Albert took out his pocket watch to check the time, then waved his wand to summon Dobby out of thin air. He was really not satisfied with the other party's efficiency.
With a crackling sound, Dobby the house-elf appeared out of thin air.
"Where's the broom?" Albert asked with a frown.
"Harry Potter..."
"That's enough, Dobby. I don't have time to listen to your explanation. You have thirty seconds. I want to see the flying broom." Albert guessed what was going on and felt helpless. Why were these guys just a bunch of people who didn't understand the situation
"What's going on?" Sirius asked with a frown.
"Maybe other people asked Dobby and delayed things." Albert turned his head and said to the two of them, "You should train everyone carefully. This is a war, not a joke. So many people have died, can't they clearly realize that this is a war?"
"I will." Sirius was silent for a moment and then nodded.
"You can't expect everyone to be as decisive as you." Moody sighed softly. If everyone else could be like Albert, perhaps Scrimgeour would not have been blocked by Voldemort.
As the three were talking, the house-elf Dobby appeared in front of them with Kingsley and several flying brooms.
"I'm sorry sir..."
"Come on first, and we'll talk about other things on the way."
Albert took the broom from Kingsley and walked outside.
"What's going on?"
Kings came quickly to catch up, he was still confused.
"The ship to Azkaban has already started." Sirius explained quickly, "Arthur and the other captured people may be on that ship. We have to intercept it now and rescue the others."
