"There is currently no evidence to suggest that person has returned. This is merely the ramblings of a mentally unstable criminal; that person has not returned..."
"Even if that person returns, our Ministry of Magic has dozens of powerful Aurors, and we are confident that we can handle any provocation!"
Rita Skeeter immediately stood up. Now that Gemma Farley is in charge of the logistics management of Toutiao, she returned to the front line, where she was more familiar with the work.
For over a year, she had been held back by Umbridge and had long harbored resentment towards Fudge. She immediately questioned him without hesitation:
"Minister Fudge, you don't even dare to mention Voldemort's name. What makes you think you have the ability to lead the Ministry of Magic against his return?"
Fudge broke down again, his face flushed, and said, "Who said I dare not mention Fu... Fu... that person's name? I'll say it again, he didn't come back, and he never will!"
After saying that, Fudge threw down the microphone, turned, and left. Umbridge followed behind him, whispering:
"Lord Fudge, this must have been arranged by that Su Yu. Do you remember the magical contract he signed with you? He must want to oust you from power, so he created this public opinion!"
Back in his office, Fudge immediately called Su Yu, who was leaning against the headboard on the bed, whispering something to Chen Ying. As soon as he picked up the phone, he heard a roar from the other end:
"Su Yu, are you deliberately trying to trick me? You bastard, I don't know how..."
Before Fudge could finish speaking, Su Yu hung up on him. And that wasn't all; Su Yu blocked Fudge. He knew that the Minister of Magic wouldn't last much longer, or even live much longer, and that talking to someone like that was a waste of time.
Just three days after Fudge denied Voldemort's return, another major event occurred: Azkaban, known as the most terrifying and secure prison in the wizarding world, was broken out.
It wasn't just one or two prisoners who escaped, but all the prisoners of Azkaban, and even all the Dementors guarding Azkaban prison vanished.
Voldemort seemed to be announcing his return by deliberately leaving one jailer alive. Faced with questions from reporters, the jailer appeared somewhat mentally unstable.
“He’s back… The mysterious man… It’s him… Yes, it’s him… He killed everyone… Everyone… The Dementors ran away with him, they all ran away…”
The jailer's statement was tantamount to a direct slap in Fudge's face, and the mass breakout of Azkaban prisoners further exacerbated the panic among British wizards.
Fudge had no choice but to hold another press conference, forcefully declaring to all British wizards: "Voldemort has not returned. This incident was perpetrated by the remnants of the Death Eaters. The Ministry of Magic has mobilized all Aurors and will certainly bring all the fugitives to justice within three months."
However, this time, less than half of the people believed in Fudge, and a large number of wizards spoke out, demanding that Fudge step down.
At Hogwarts, Dumbledore gathered all the professors together and said, "Voldemort is back. I think everyone here is aware of this. They have released the prisoners of Azkaban and have the support of the Dementors."
“I believe that soon Voldemort will lead his Death Eaters to restart his reign of terror, and we must stop him.”
"First we need to find all of Voldemort's Horcruxes, otherwise even if we destroy his physical body, we won't be able to kill him completely, just like this time."
"Fortunately, Professor Su Yu has found and destroyed Voldemort's four Horcruxes for us. I must express my sincere gratitude to Professor Su here!"
Su Yu stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Professor Dumbledore, let me correct you, it's not four Horcruxes, it's five!"
As he spoke, Su Yu took out the last Soul Weapon in his hand, the Gaunt family ring. Of course, the soul on it had already been fed to Jarvis by Su Yu.
Dumbledore was taken aback. He took the ring from Su Yu's hand and asked in surprise, "Is this the Resurrection Stone?"
Chapter 262 The Final Battle with the Ministry of Magic 1
Su Yu nodded: "That's right, this is the resurrection stone. As far as I know, Voldemort currently has two more Horcruxes besides the five I destroyed."
The professors were in an uproar. Most of them had some knowledge of Horcruxes and knew that they were dark magic tools created by tearing apart souls.
Tearing apart the soul! Ordinary people can't even bear the thought of their own bodies being torn apart, let alone their souls. In history, only the despicable Herpo has ever created a Horcrux.
Who would have thought that Voldemort had actually created seven Horcruxes? Sirius Black pressed, "Where are the other two Horcruxes?"
Su Yu didn't mince words and said directly, "The first thing is a giant python, a living giant python. I saw it in the graveyard of Gaunt's ancestral home when Voldemort was resurrected."
After pausing to allow everyone to process the information, Su Yu continued, "As for the second Horcrux, if I'm not mistaken, it should be Harry Potter."
"How could this be? This is impossible!" Sirius stood up, exclaiming incredulously.
Su Yu pointed to his forehead and said, "That scar on Harry's head. Voldemort wanted to kill Harry back then, but Lily's curse rebounded and killed him instead. A part of his soul was torn apart and fused into Harry's scar."
Dumbledore then stepped forward and said, "Su Yu is right. For the past year or so, Harry has been hearing strange noises. I think that's Harry's soul resonating with Voldemort's soul."
Sirius Black paced anxiously, clutching his head with both hands: "So, to completely kill Voldemort, we have to kill Harry first? No, no, no, I absolutely cannot allow that to happen."
Dumbledore patted Sirius on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I really didn't know what to do before today, but Sue just gave me this."
Seeing Dumbledore raise the ring in his hand, Snape asked, "You mean to kill Harry first, and then use the Resurrection Stone to bring him back to life?"
“Yes, that’s exactly what I think!” Dumbledore nodded.
"Can you guarantee that Harry will be resurrected? Can you guarantee that this stone will work? If it doesn't work, what will happen to Harry? I will not allow Lily's child to be treated like this unless I die!" Snape was equally agitated; his love for Harry seemed no less than Sirius's.
Seeing that the two sides were still arguing, Su Yu spoke up again: "Headmaster Dumbledore, do you remember the Japanese dark wizard I mentioned to you?"
"You mean... Orochimaru?" Dumbledore remembered this and looked at Su Yu with a questioning look, asking him why he was bringing it up now.
"I've made some progress in researching how to deal with his sealing technique. If we can bring Voldemort back to his soul state, I think I can seal him completely," Su Yu offered his plan.
"Is that really true?" Dumbledore's eyes lit up.
"Of course, but there's something I must tell you all. Just now, Voldemort, leading his Death Eaters, stormed the British Ministry of Magic!" Su Yu suddenly dropped an even more explosive bombshell.
In fact, Su Yu did not just receive this news. Half an hour earlier, Avery, the undercover agent, had already informed Su Yu that Voldemort was going to attack the Ministry of Magic headquarters.
However, to ensure Voldemort's impact was significant enough, Su Yu didn't share this information immediately, only revealing it now that Voldemort and his party were about to arrive at the Ministry of Magic.
At this moment, Voldemort, leading more than thirty Death Eaters, werewolves, and Dracula, stepped into the Ministry of Magic's main hall.
In the center of this ancient and magnificent hall is a huge sculpted fountain, surrounded by noble wizards, elegant witches, centaurs, fairies, and house-elves.
Streams of water shot from the tips of the wands, the centaur arrows, the goblin hats, and the house-elves' ears, falling into the pool below.
Voldemort looked at the statue and was not very satisfied. He waved his wand and the statue immediately changed, and a wizard who looked nine-tenths like Voldemort in his youth appeared.
He sat arrogantly on one magical throne after another, while wizards, witches, centaurs, goblins, and elves all knelt on the ground below.
"Haha...hahaha...that's right, that's right..." Voldemort let out his neurotic laughter once again.
The commotion immediately attracted the attention of others, and two Ministry of Magic employees rushed over to try and stop Voldemort.
Before Voldemort could speak, Bellatrix stepped forward and fired an Avada Kedavra, hitting one of the men.
The man died on the spot. The other man was stunned when he saw this. He didn't know whether he should run away or not, so he just stood there trembling.
Bellatrix was about to continue, but Voldemort stopped her, walked up to the employee, and said with a smile, "Let me introduce myself, I am Voldemort. May I ask where Minister Fudge's office is?"
Voldemort probably had no idea how terrifying his noseless face looked when he smiled. The employee tremblingly raised his hand and pointed towards the elevator:
"Take the elevator down to the basement level, and at the end of the corridor, the largest office is the Minister's!"
"Thank you very much!" Voldemort said, then left, leading everyone towards the elevator.
The employee breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had escaped a disaster, but before he could even feel relieved, a tall man suddenly appeared beside him.
The slender fingers gently hooked under his chin, causing the employee a slight pain. Then, his blood seemed to flow uncontrollably, gushing out wildly.
In the blink of an eye, all the employees, both living and dead, were turned into mummies. The one who did it was naturally Dracula. Wizard blood was a great tonic for him, and it was one of the conditions he agreed to help Voldemort this time.
The Ministry of Magic's main hall was on the eighth floor. Voldemort didn't go directly to the first floor; instead, he would release several Death Eaters every time he ascended a floor.
These guys have only one goal: to force all Ministry of Magic employees to choose between submission or death, and then to deal with them accordingly based on their choices.
In the minister's office, Fudge was reviewing piles of documents with a headache. In just a few days, all sorts of crimes had broken out all over Britain.
Fudge felt that if things continued like this, he would be killed by these headache-inducing documents before Voldemort killed him. His good helper Umbridge was naturally helping him as well.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Fudge didn't even look up and said impatiently, "Come in!"
Chapter 263 The Final Battle with the Ministry of Magic 2
"Minister Fudge, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Voldemort pushed open the door and walked in, greeting him politely, though his voice wasn't pleasant, having a rough, abrasive quality.
"Speak quickly, I have a lot to do!" Fudge still didn't look up; this would probably be the bravest thing he ever said to Voldemort.
Upon seeing this, Voldemort let out a sickening laugh: "Ha ha... Ha ha ha... Minister Fudge, I would like to ask you to give up your position."
Fudge finally realized something was wrong. He looked up, his pupils contracted sharply, and he raised his hand incredulously, pointing at Voldemort: "Voldemort, Voldemort, Voldemort..."
Fudge's voice startled Umbridge, who was also busy at work. Umbridge, however, was much more direct than Fudge, letting out a piercing high-pitched cry: "Ah..."
Avada Kedavra!
Umbridge's voice abruptly stopped, the light in his eyes gradually faded, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Fudge finally came to his senses. He stood up, not even glancing at Umbridge beside him, hesitated for a moment, and then bowed humbly, saying, "Lord Voldemort..."
Voldemort didn't say anything, but walked to Fudge's table, and Fudge very smugly made way for him.
Voldemort sat down, wiggled his hips, and said with a smile to the Death Eaters at the door, "What do you think of me sitting in this position?"
Bellatrix entered first, flicked her wand, and tossed Umbridge away like a rag doll. Then she stood beside Voldemort and said, "Perfectly suited!"
Voldemort nodded in satisfaction and looked at Fudge, saying, "In that case, there's no need for you, the Minister of Magic, to exist."
"No..." Before Fudge could finish speaking, Voldemort stretched out one hand, and Fudge was lifted into the air as if a giant hand had grabbed his throat.
Fudge struggled desperately, kicking his legs wildly, but he couldn't break free. Soon his face turned liver-colored and he stopped moving.
At that moment, Avery suddenly walked in and said, "Master, my informant at Hogwarts told me that Dumbledore and his men have come to the Ministry of Magic."
Voldemort's face instantly turned cold. He had just arrived, and Dumbledore was right behind him. There must be a traitor in his team.
He glanced at the people present, remained silent for a long time, and then released the dying Fudge, saying, "Dracula, add something to this guy's body. We'll prepare a gift for Headmaster Dumbledore."
“No problem! But the price is separate!” Dracula said coldly. He was probably the only one in the group who wasn’t a Death Eater.
Su Yu and his group followed Dumbledore and quickly arrived at the Ministry of Magic's main hall via the Floo Network. The first thing they saw was that the statues that originally represented magical creatures uniting around wizards had been transformed into statues of wizards and magical creatures bowing down to Voldemort.
"That bastard!" Moody cursed angrily.
Su Yu's attention, however, was focused on the two mummified corpses on the ground. He went over and did a quick check, confirming that both of them had been drained of blood. Needless to say, it must have been his old rival, Dracula, who did it.
At this moment, Ministry of Magic staff began to run up the stairs to the hall. This was because Su Yu had just contacted Tonks, Kingsley, Amelia, and others via Feixin to inquire about the situation at the Ministry of Magic and had them bring everyone to the hall.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Dumbledore in the hall, and quickly came to stand behind him.
Tonks rushed to Su Yu's side and gave him a big hug, but only after hearing Chen Ying's cold snort did he lower his head and stand aside.
Su Yu didn't know why, but Chen Ying seemed less resistant to Tonks, and Tonks was no longer as distant from him as before. It seemed that the two had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
Before they could think, the Death Eaters caught up with them. Originally, these Death Eaters were chasing after Ministry of Magic employees, but when they saw Dumbledore, they dared not move. They could only stand quietly in place, preparing to escape while waiting for Voldemort to arrive.
Voldemort did not disappoint, and soon stepped out of the elevator, but he was carrying a twitching fat man in his hand, who was none other than Minister Fudge.
“Headmaster Dumbledore, it’s been a long time. As your former student, I must present you with a gift!” With that, Voldemort waved his hand, and Minister Fudge was tossed over.
Dumbledore simply raised his hand, and Fudge slowed down, eventually resting at his feet.
