Chapter 147 The Real Purpose Is Never Just Horcruxes

Life is always so unpredictable.

Even the Dark Lord had to compromise.

Voldemort once resented Harry Potter.

However, due to Peter Pettigrew's troubles and almost destroying or mastering all of Voldemort's Horcruxes, Voldemort was forced to choose to protect Harry Potter, a Horcrux that appeared by mistake.

The Dark Lord was looking forward to the start of Hogwarts more than anyone.

Because this school is undoubtedly the safest place. Dumbledore, the most powerful white wizard in the world, stands in the light, while he, the Dark Lord, hides in the dark.

If Peter Pettigrew noticed something was wrong with Harry Potter, Voldemort believed that this little guy would be able to shelter him from being killed by Peter Pettigrew...

"That mouse..."

Voldemort couldn't help but think of Peter Pettigrew, who had been cowardly in front of him.

The world is changing so fast.

Before the summer of 1991, Voldemort had to live in the Albanian forest. When Peter Pettigrew destroyed the Horcrux for the first time, he thought that the coward had betrayed him and turned to Grindelwald.

This incident was enough to make Voldemort angry...

However, when Voldemort returned to the magical world with the help of Quirrell, he realized that his anger was still too little. The little mouse had actually started plotting to assassinate him since he took refuge in him!

The guy who keeps pretending to be a coward...

He actually treated him, the Dark Lord, as a pawn!

Peter Pettigrew used him as a stepping stone, and the entire wizarding world regarded him as a laughing stock. Even if he died at the hands of Harry Potter, it would be far less humiliating than being used as a pawn to make Voldemort more humiliating!

"Sooner or later... I'm going to kill him!"

Voldemort's face couldn't hide his anger!

"Owner…"

Quirrell lay on the bed shivering. He could feel how angry the Dark Lord possessed the back of his head. He was afraid that the Dark Lord would get angry and kill him to vent his anger.

Apparently.

Quirrell thought too much.

At least this time, Voldemort will not waste Quirrell as a servant.

The only pity is that the Sorcerer's Stone that Voldemort wanted to get was stolen in advance by Peter Pettigrew. This made Voldemort feel that Peter Pettigrew, who once deceived him, may have become his biggest enemy!

In fact.

It's not impossible for Voldemort to get the Philosopher's Stone.

At this time, the Philosopher's Stone was not in Peter Pettigrew's hands at all.

It happened that Snape got the news from Lucius that Bellatrix rushed to the ancestral home of the Black family, and also learned that Peter Pettigrew had been following Bellatrix because he was worried about Harry. To ensure Potter's safety, he and Hagrid hurried to the ancestral home of the Black family.

Unfortunately, it was too late when they arrived.

Snape and Hagrid only knew the whole story of Peter Pettigrew's use of Bellatrix, and thus also knew the news that Peter Pettigrew used the Philosopher's Stone to bribe Cornelius Fudge and colluded with the Minister of Magic.

This kind of thing…

It's certainly not something they can handle.

So Hagrid immediately notified Dumbledore in Durmstrang.

The collusion between a Minister of Magic and a Dark Lord was definitely not a trivial matter. Even Dumbledore could not sit idly by and ignore this matter. He could only end the discussion with Grindelwald in a hurry and returned overnight. London.

Many people will have sleepless nights tonight.

Cornelius Fudge worked hard to suppress Bellatrix's appearance in Gringotts, trying to define this mad woman as the first prisoner to escape from Azkaban, trying to get rid of his own responsibility.

However, Amelia Bones, the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, is a serious person. She personally went to Azkaban to investigate the details, and there is a high probability that she can find out that Umbridge was present in Azkaban to extract The matter of the prisoner.

In fact, she didn't need to check at all.

Because someone was already making a big deal out of this.

Otherwise, how could Cornelius Fudge step down? How can Amelia Bones, the current head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, take the position of minister and free up her position?

late at night.

London suburbs.

Crouch's home.

Peter Pettigrew is back here.

This third-generation Dark Lord, who had just caused a lot of trouble, began to change his body visibly, and quickly returned to the appearance of a gray-haired boy.

It was Wesson.

Old Barty Crouch's expression was a little subtle.

Although he still doesn't know how much trouble Wesen has done by pretending to be Peter Pettigrew, but just stealing the Sorcerer's Stone and causing trouble in Gringotts is a big trouble...

"I'm almost done."

Wesson reached out and took off his large cloak, put on a set of boy's clothes again, and spoke slowly to Old Barty Crouch: "The rest is our real troublesome problem..."

"Is there anything you haven't done yet?"

Barty Crouch Sr. was not calm enough, and even showed a hint of tiredness: "You have already grabbed the Sorcerer's Stone, is there anything more troublesome than this?"

"My purpose is not for the Sorcerer's Stone..."

Wesson sat on the chair in the living room, holding the back of his head in boredom: "I bribed Cornelius Fudge with the Philosopher's Stone and asked him to release a Death Eater from Azkaban. In this case, it should almost be possible." Pulled him down from the position of Minister of Magic, right?"

"..."

Old Batty's eyes were suddenly shocked!

What the hell kind of operation is this?

He actually used the Philosopher's Stone to bribe the Minister of Magic!

Which Minister of Magic could withstand such a test?

Unless they were someone like Rufus Scrimgeour, it would be hard to say that other wizards could withstand the temptation of the Philosopher's Stone, not to mention that Cornelius Fudge himself was a greedy guy!

"If nothing else, Dumbledore should know it soon."

Wesson spread his palms and said his plan easily: "I specifically told Sirius's group to let them know that Cornelius Fudge accepted the bribe of the Sorcerer's Stone and colluded with Peter Pettigrew... "

I told quite a story in the ancestral home of the Black family!

It would be a waste of his story if this matter were not revealed. He used the Philosopher's Stone to create a trap for Cornelius Fudge!

When he said this, Wesson's eyes suddenly became sharp and he chuckled: "The entire Ministry of Magic should also know about Minister Fudge. How will this minister be dealt with?"

"..."

Old Batty fell silent.

There's something wrong with this little guy.

After working so hard and even using the Philosopher's Stone as a price and bait, just to unseat Cornelius Fudge?

but…

He can definitely do it.

If what this little guy Wesson said is true, once this matter is exposed, no one will agree to Cornelius Fudge continuing to serve as Minister of Magic. This week we will definitely see Cornelius Fudge being News of dismissal or resignation.

Two years ago.

Wesson has said that he wants the Minister of Magic to step down.

Now the Minister of Magic, who has only been in office for a year, is really about to step down.

What they originally agreed upon was that Barty Crouch Sr. return to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, take control of the Ministry of Magic's Auror team, and completely control the Ministry of Magic's armed forces.

"If Fudge steps down..."

Old Barty Crouch thought about the situation in the Ministry of Magic and couldn't help but slowly shook his head and said: "The next minister should be Rufus or Amelia, but I may not be able to return to the Department of Legal Enforcement. …”

This matter is not easy to control.

Although Wesson has created enough opportunities, it is not easy for Old Barty, who has been drifting away from the center of the Ministry of Magic, to return to the center of power.

"Then you stand with Dumbledore."

Wesson gave an opinion and continued nonchalantly: "I believe Dumbledore must hope that someone with good intentions towards him will become his assistant in the Ministry of Magic, as long as you and the Dark Lord are at odds with each other..."

"..."

Barty Crouch Sr. didn't know what to say.

It is clear that the most dangerous Dark Lord in the world is his partner, but he still has to pretend to be irreconcilable with the Dark Lord to lure Dumbledore to support him...

Such a scheme against an old man...

Why doesn't Weisen's conscience still hurt?

If nothing unexpected happens.

Dumbledore would definitely like it.

Since the previous Minister Millicent resigned, the Ministry of Magic has not done anything serious with the Dark Lord this year. Anyway, it has begun to cause trouble for Dumbledore at this time. Everyone can see this...

Once Cornelius Fudge steps down and Amelia Bones, the current director of the Department of Legal Enforcement, takes office as Minister of Magic, her position will be vacant. Generally speaking, this position must require someone with a strong hand.

Now there is a most suitable candidate for the entire Ministry of Magic to be the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Rufus Scrimgeour, because he also happens to be the head of the Auror Office.

It's a pity.

Rufus Scrimgeour is too tough.

He even had a very tough attitude towards Dumbledore at one point. He could not understand Dumbledore's compromise with Grindelwald at all. This man did not hesitate to suppress Dumbledore in order to maintain the majesty of the Ministry of Magic.

Once Scrimgeour becomes Director of the Department of Legal Enforcement, who knows how much trouble this guy will cause. Unfortunately, Dumbledore has no reason to interfere with Scrimgeour's appointment...

unless.

Someone is willing to step up.

If this person happens to be a wizard who has a good impression of him, Dumbledore will not specifically interfere with the appointment of officials from the Ministry of Magic, but he will definitely push the situation along, especially when the entire magical world is in chaos!

This year…

All three Dark Lords will appear on the stage of the wizarding world!

Even if Dumbledore wins over Grindelwald in advance, the pressure on him will be considerable. If someone who can mobilize Auror troops at any time is willing to support him, it will definitely be of great benefit to the future.

August 2, 1991.

This is a day that is destined to be anything but peaceful.

Today's headlines appear in the Daily Prophet.
