A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 914 Witch Dragon Knight

In the living room, the wizards sat around an ornately decorated long table.

No one dared to move or speak; they all kept their heads down, like wooden sculptures.

What should I say?!

Ask the Dark Lord what Narcissa did when he took her away for half an hour alone.

Or... ask Narcissa why she returned home disheveled, with tears in her eyes, and looking dazed?

Otherwise, ask what happened with that scream.

Did Draco, Malfoy's son, discover something and want to stop something?

These doubts alone are enough to make the Death Eaters imagine a love story no less dramatic than that of the Magic Department's Mr. Qin.

But I can't ask... I'd be risking my life!

So, Lucius is definitely the one who suffered the most.

He's in prison, just started rehabilitation... The Dark Lord took over his manor and used it as his command center, and now even his wife and kids are gone...

If he finds out, he'll probably write down seven "misery" characters in prison, then fly into a rage and transform into a super green man.

However, Voldemort didn't care what his servants were thinking. He simply waved his hand and announced the official start of the war council.

This meeting featured many new faces.

This is normal. With several missions failing, many Death Eaters have been killed or captured, so fresh blood must be brought in.

Among them are wizards personally recruited by Voldemort, the most eye-catching of whom is the McFastie family.

"Come sit here, Jaehaerys," Voldemort beckoned and called out affectionately.

Jaeharis McFastie sat calmly beside the Dark Lord amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.

Many people secretly cursed:

The wizards who sat next to the Dark Lord never had a good ending.

Bella from the very beginning, Rozier from last summer, Malfoy from a few months ago... which one of them didn't run into trouble?

Thinking about it this way, everyone immediately felt more at ease.

However, Jaheris's words immediately displeased the wizards present.

"Master, we can provide sixteen well-trained black dragons from the Hebrides Islands," Jaeheris said eagerly.

"With the addition of our family's Witch Dragon Knights, we are guaranteed to complete any mission without failure."

Jaeharis glanced smugly at the other Death Eaters, his sarcasm obvious.

However, Jaeheris really does have the confidence to back it up.

The Hebdiri Black Dragon is a species of fire dragon that lives in the Hebdiri Islands of Scotland.

They are more aggressive than the other type of common Welsh green dragon, which is native to the British Isles.

For centuries, the MacFastie family has cared for the Black Dragon of the Hebdiri Islands.

In other words... this is their family business, they are born to train fire dragons.

Even the McFastie family's crest is a single, three-headed fire-breathing dragon on a black background with red markings.

"Master, if you can conquer Romania, hand over the Fire Dragon Protection Area to our family..." Jaeheris said confidently.

"I guarantee that I will provide you with thirty tamed fire dragons in one year."

With these fire dragons and shaman dragon riders, we can turn any land that refuses to submit into scorched earth.

The flames will consume every rebel who opposes you.

The "Fire Dragon Battle" was indeed highly effective, but Voldemort remained noncommittal, glancing at the others and allowing them to speak freely.

Dolokhov said impatiently, "Master, I object. This proposal is utterly unfeasible."

"Oh, tell me about it." Voldemort looked at Dolokhov.

Encouraged, Dolokhov quickly stood up and said:

"Romania is in the Balkans, too far from Britain."

Furthermore, France, Italy, Switzerland, and Austria—these four European countries—have blocked the route to Romania.

And almost all of these Ministers of Magic were on good terms with the Starks.

We might be able to occupy the Romanian Fire Dragon Reserve, but the cost would be unbearable.

Dolohoff's words were met with nods of agreement from many wizards.

These four ministries of magic were among the first to condemn the Death Eaters and the Void.

It's unclear what conditions Stark promised.

Voldemort didn't speak, but he agreed with this view.

Unlike Grindelwald, he did not want the war to spread to other countries... as that would only create more opposition.

Grindelwald is still lying low; the Romanian Fire Dragon Plan can only be realized after he has recovered Eastern Europe.

Jahelis didn't expect to succeed; he was just deliberately setting a high bar to pave the way for what was to come.

He immediately retreated and asked for the next best thing:

"In that case, Master, the fairies also have a dragon-breeding base in Ireland, which is used to train Gringotts guards."

There are also three dragon sanctuaries under the Ministry of Magic's jurisdiction.

Jaheris looked around and said:

"If we take this territory, our fighting strength will increase dramatically, enough to sweep aside the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix!"

"The fairies are neutral now," Avery whispered.

"If we attack fairies, given their meticulous nature, they will immediately side with the Order of the Phoenix... That would be extremely unwise."

Many people echoed this sentiment.

They certainly don't like goblins, but Gringotts can't side with the Order of the Phoenix... after all, their own coffers are still inside.

"The Ministry of Magic's dragon sanctuary can be attacked. The goblins can wait, but pressure must be applied to them immediately," Voldemort decided.

Jaheris clenched his fist, becoming excited.

His family had coveted these fire dragons for a long time, which was why he was willing to side with the Dark Lord.

Voldemort looked toward the other end of the table, the firelight casting an eerie glow in his red eyes.

"Have you found out where our new minister lives, Yaxley?!"

Everyone turned their heads around again.

"Not yet, but..." Yaxley puffed out his chest.

"Master, I have taken control of Herbert Joley, the Muggle assistant minister to the prime minister."

As is customary, the new Minister of Magic will meet with the Muggle Prime Minister; we'll find out then.

Voldemort nodded slightly, reminding him, "Even the Muggle prime minister is protected by a wizard."

"This... I couldn't find anything." Yaxley was startled and nervously scratched his hair.

"It's alright, Severus has already found out. It's Emily Vance." Voldemort smiled. "She's protecting the Muggle Prime Minister."

The Dark Lord issued the order:

"Dolokhov, you lead the team to ambush Bornes. You must kill her."

He then looked at Yaxley and said:

"Once Burns dies, the position of Minister of Magic will immediately become vacant."

Scringer is likely to succeed her as the new minister.

He's also a hardliner, which isn't in our interest.

I need you to regain control of a high-ranking official and fight for this position for us. Do you have anyone in mind?

Yaxley said thoughtfully:

"Sinkness is a good choice; he is said to be about to be promoted to Director of the Legal Enforcement Division."

He had frequent contact not only with Scrimgeour himself, but also with the heads of various departments within the Ministry of Magic.

I think if we could control such a high-ranking official, competing for the ministerial position would be a piece of cake.

"Very good, the last task." Voldemort fiddled with his wand and looked at Lukewood.

"I need Ollivander, and the owner of the Florin Daco ice cream shop in Diagon Alley... Bring them both here."

Everyone stared in astonishment at the Dark Lord.

Without Ollivander, many wizards would not be able to make wands.

They could understand taking control of this "arms" manufacturer, but why arrest the ice cream shop owner?

Does the Dark Lord want to eat ice cream?

Voldemort offered no explanation, only his teeth chattered, his eyes burning with intensity.

Once he finds that legendary, all-powerful wand, neither Stark nor Dumbledore will be his match.

He's destined to win this wizarding war!
