Chapter 259 Changes in the Magical World
The situation has been laid out for several years, and now it is finally time to settle the matter.
This summer vacation, the Ministry of Magic has undergone several earth-shaking changes.
First of all, the information about Voldemort's resurrection has been confirmed, and people strongly condemned Fudge in major newspapers and magazines for this matter.
Immediately afterwards, Fudge jumped out and announced the Ministry of Magic's trump card.
"I have an army of three thousand fire elves to protect your safety."
As soon as this news came out, the wizards were slightly relieved.
However, precisely because of this, wizards around the world strongly condemned this matter.
After all, if you didn't take it out during Voldemort's previous reign, it would be obvious that these three thousand fire elves only came after Voldemort's death.
It was already a peaceful era at that time. What did you, Fudge, want to do by raising so many fire elves?
Although Fudge explained that these fire elves were inherited from his previous minister.
But no one accepts this statement.
Former Minister Millicent Bagno has retired for so long, and she herself traveled to other countries last year, and now she doesn’t know whether she is dead or alive.
How to ask for verification?
Shameless Fudge, who raised so many dangerous magical animals, yet puts the blame on his former minister?
It's obvious that you want to cause trouble!
For a time, the wizards made assumptions about what Fudge wanted to do.
Does he want to start a third wizarding war?
Is he planning to bring all of Europe into his territory this time?
"This was deliberate and premeditated."
"I think his purpose of raising three thousand fire elves is to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out Europe in one fell swoop so that all wizards can become his slaves!"
"Look at the Umbridge he sent to Hogwarts to use dark magic on our children."
"They wear a pair of pants!"
"Get off!"
"Incompetent Ministry of Magic!"
Following Lumi's wishes, wizards around the world were making trouble at the Ministry of Magic every day over the fact that Fudge had raised three thousand fire elves.
Its momentum has far surpassed that of Voldemort's resurrection.
Fudge was eager to prove that the purpose of raising these fire elves was to fight Voldemort.
So he took the fire elves to where Voldemort was.
He didn't know the exact location, but he had heard reports that he had been seen in the town of Telford.
He rushed there in a hurry, but there were only two Death Eaters killing Muggles for fun.
In order to prove that his fire elves were used to deal with Death Eaters, he let two fire elves attack them in front of other Aurors.
The end result is undisputed.
The Death Eaters were burned to ashes by the fire elves.
Burning to death is the most painful way to die.
Although this move did prove that Fudge would stand up to Death Eaters, many wizards still did not trust him.
Finally one day, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Screaming letters were sent to his office every day, and his cronies were looking for new backers bit by bit.
His words became less and less effective, and almost every day he received news that the Death Eaters were causing trouble again.
In just one month, his hair fell out one after another.
It would be okay if that were the case.
But when he returned home, his family members worriedly asked him if he really wanted to start a war.
His job didn't go well, and his family didn't trust him.
This successfully broke his spine.
He announced his resignation as Minister of Magic in early August 1995, and then officially handed over the three thousand fire elves to the next minister.
Naturally, the transfer method cannot be direct grant.
These three thousand fire elves are a huge problem for the Ministry of Magic.
They will put the next minister and the Ministry of Magic of Ying Kingdom into a huge vortex of danger.
The best way is to release these fire elves and let them return to their homes.
But now that Voldemort is still alive and his own safety cannot be guaranteed, it would be very good to have such a fire elf as a bodyguard.
Even if it is released as a last resort weapon.
At least this can cause trouble to the other party and give you time to prepare, which is also great for escaping.
After being exploited by some people, when the next Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, took over, only a thousand fire elves were left to him.
Everything seems to have calmed down, but Lumi has spent a long time trying. Is the ultimate goal just to force Fudge to step down?
No.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lumi deployed a large number of foreign wizards to settle in Ying Kingdom.
The Ministry of Magic, the most powerful country, directly intervened in the Auror office in the name of support, and many new faces have been added to the Aurors inside.
With Fudge's downfall, the senior staff eliminated more than half of Fudge's party in order to express their position to Scrimgeour.
Taking this opportunity, wizards from other countries also took over various tasks of the Ministry of Magic.
Although the key positions have not been captured, the grassroots personnel of the Ministry of Magic have been almost penetrated.
The original ones were dismissed by the superiors for various reasons. Those who performed well took the opportunity to be promoted, and the vacant positions were filled by wizards from other countries.
As for the reason why these wizards came here?
Various changes are taking place in their own country, and these changes are somewhat unacceptable to them, so they come here.
Of course, these words are just for Yinguo to hear, but do they really believe them?
Who knows where to go?
Anyway, now that Voldemort has been resurrected, the wizards of Ying Kingdom are already panicked, and not many people are willing to continue working in the Ministry of Magic.
After all, Voldemort and his Death Eaters made moves at the Ministry of Magic last month. Who knows if he will come to the Ministry of Magic again with a large number of Death Eaters?
These wizards from other countries can jump into the fire pit if they wish.
There is a saying that goes well: a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist.
You go ahead, I'll hide and see how the wind blows.
The upper management and leadership of the Ministry of Magic of Ying Kingdom remained unchanged. Many people at the grassroots level were under Lumi's staff, and they were present in various departments of the Ministry of Magic.
In this way, Lumi can grasp any order issued by the Ministry of Magic immediately.
This is also one of the purposes of this plan.
The most important purpose is that there are some elites among these people, who can join the Wizengamot Trial Seat as quickly as possible.
Even if it is not possible, under their subtle influence, the local wizards in Ying Kingdom can be influenced and brought under their command.
According to Lumi's thinking, Voldemort will definitely attack the Ministry of Magic again, and then a number of those officials will be freed up.
There will be a vacancy for wizards in the Wizengamot at that time.
At that time, the new senators will inevitably be selected from the Ministry of Magic. By then, everyone in the Ministry of Magic can be said to be his people.
In this way, when Voldemort falls in the future, there will be Lumi's people in the Wizengamot Tribunal and the International Federation of Wizards.
By then, the resistance to overturning the secrecy law will be much reduced.
