Chapter 519: Les: The Target Is the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic
After the order was issued, the members of the organization could finally leave.
With the sound of Apparition, Azkaban Island returned to peace, and Les could start to rebuild his castle. Azkaban used to be a prison, not very habitable, so Les had to renovate the floor where he lived to make it habitable.
The news of the birth of the new Dark Lord was spread by these former Death Eaters and current members of the Snake Organization.
They brought two pieces of news to the wizarding world, one good and one bad.
The good news is that Voldemort is dead.
The bad news is that he died in the civil war between the Dark Lords. The new Dark Lord is stronger, younger, and more ambitious.
Les's slogan "Explore the ultimate of magic and make the wizarding world great again" is also well known to everyone.
The wizarding world immediately fell into panic.
Les's slogan sounds normal, but combined with his current identity, it is very scary.
Isn't "Explore the ultimate of magic" a euphemism for "I want to vigorously study the dark magic"? As for "making the magic world great again", it is naked pure-blood supremacism, not even acting.
The Ministry of Magic was already in chaos due to Fudge's assassination, and now it has completely lost its normal function until that man appeared.
Dumbledore arrived at the Ministry of Magic in time, stabilized the situation, and calmed people down.
Then he launched a new round of elections for the Minister of Magic.
Under normal circumstances, the Minister of Magic is likely to be succeeded by the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. However, the current situation is special, and the magic world is shrouded in the shadow of the Dark Lord, so the officials of the Ministry of Magic urgently need a strong minister.
Scrimgeour from the Auror Office stood out and was elected as the new Minister of Magic.
After the election, the members of the Snake Organization gathered in Lucius's manor very tacitly.
"Lucius, I really want to congratulate you." Little Avery congratulated Lucius with a flattering smile on his face.
During Voldemort's time, Lucius was a core Death Eater who had a close relationship with the Dark Lord. It stands to reason that a new emperor appoints new ministers. In the era of the new Dark Lord, he, a confidant of the previous dynasty, would definitely be alienated. But who would have thought that the new Dark Lord is his nephew!
Now he is no longer a confidant of the previous dynasty, but a royal relative!
In addition, most of the big figures among the Death Eaters in the past were sent to see Voldemort by His Majesty, so Lucius naturally became the absolute core of the new organization.
Of course, Little Avery said this to test Lucius. After all, even if Les Lint started studying black magic during prenatal education, he would not have reached the current level.
Little Avery also wanted to find out what happened.
"I dare not say that that person is my nephew..." Lucius smiled bitterly, and then told everyone the true identity of Les.
Organization member:? !
"Slytherin? How is it possible!" Most people couldn't believe it when they heard the news, because Salazar Slytherin was a wizard from thousands of years ago. How did he live to this era?
But they couldn't figure it out, and after thinking calmly for a moment, they were surprised to find that this statement was quite reasonable.
"What about your nephew...?" asked old Crabbe.
Lucius sighed, and everything was self-evident.
Everyone understood: Salazar Slytherin occupied the body of Lucius's nephew when he was resurrected.
Now not many people envy Lucius.
High status? In exchange for his nephew's life!
After listening to Lucius's words, everyone completely believed that Les was Salazar Slytherin himself, because this method was really too evil.
Directly taking away a person's life and replacing it, is there any magic more evil than this?
After the members of the organization dispersed, Lint Manor welcomed a new guest: Henry Greengrass, who came for his daughter Astoria.
After listening to Henry's request, Lucius was speechless: Brother, don't you have a clear understanding of your identity? The formula of the potion is extremely complicated just by looking at it. Why would the Dark Lord help you treat your daughter?
However, considering Henry's identity, Lucius agreed to help Henry pass on a message.
As a result, something shocking happened. The Dark Lord not only agreed to treat Henry's daughter, but also kept Astoria by his side after the treatment, preparing to teach her magic in person.
For a while, the attitude of the members of the Snake Organization towards Mr. Henry changed subtly.
...
Dumbledore was like a dam, firmly blocking the storms from the outside world outside the school, and the campus life of Hogwarts was still calm.
The only drawback was that perhaps because of his old age, declining memory, or his previous reputation, he could not find a scapegoat at all. Dumbledore did not find a new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts for Hogwarts.
A terrible thought emerged in the minds of many young wizards: Could it be... No way! Don't let Umbridge be a professor! If possible, please let her wait until I graduate before being a ghost professor!
But the truth is so cruel.
The professors at Hogwarts actually agreed to let Umbridge's ghost teach Defense Against the Dark Arts for a year.
Then Umbridge showed the young wizards vividly what it means to be hated by people and ghosts, and she even successfully reversed Peeves' reputation by herself.
"This can never go on like this." After a Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson that was as boring as the history of magic, Harry called Hermione and Ron together and spoke to them seriously.
"What?" Ron didn't react for a moment.
"We can't waste any more time. The current Defense Against the Dark Arts is a piece of shit and won't help us at all!" Harry became excited. "The Dark Lord - I mean Les's forces every day. They are all getting stronger, and Voldemort is not really dead, I can be sure!”
Ron and Hermione were horrified.
The previous things are understandable. Although Les and his followers have not done much recently, they are dark wizards after all.
The Fall of Azkaban is a good example. Les Lint, or the monster pretending to be Les Lint, is not a peaceful person. After integrating Voldemort's remaining forces, he will definitely launch a new round of more violent offensive.
But they didn't understand the last sentence very well. Wasn't Voldemort already confirmed to be dead?
"Have you forgotten what happened in second grade? I wonder if Voldemort might have left other similar items?"
Hermione's expression turned to horror.
"If that's the case, that's too bad. One Les is enough for us, and now there's another Voldemort lurking in the dark..."
"What are you talking about?" Godric suddenly appeared, frightening the three of them.
After Harry informed Godric of his speculation, Godric looked at the three of them with strange eyes.
"Haven't you heard of Horcruxes?" he asked curiously.
Harry and the other three had never even heard of Horcruxes, which surprised him greatly.
It's fine that Harry and Ron, two people who don't read much, don't know, but why doesn't even Hermione know? It seems that there are indeed some problems with magic education at Hogwarts.
Godric gave Harry a detailed description of what a Horcrux was, which made Harry extremely excited.
"That's right! That's it! An evil wizard like Voldemort must have made more than one Horcrux!"
Although the doubts in Harry's heart had been answered, the worries in his heart only increased instead of decreasing - now there were really two Dark Lords spying on Hogwarts.
"We can't waste any time." Harry made up his mind.
On the surface, Les Lint is occupying Azkaban and accumulating power, but secretly, Voldemort is relying on Horcruxes to survive and plot evil. In such a crisis-ridden environment, how could Harry allow himself to waste a year learning some bullshit magical defense theory?
Do you want to learn this stuff because you want to hypnotize Les by reciting the textbook when you fight him in the future?
Godric looked at Harry with interest, wanting to see how the little wizard could break the current impasse.
On one occasion, Godric felt that Dumbledore's response to the recent series of events was really terrible, as childish as a child's.
If he hadn't known that the ultimate villain was Salazar, he would have been furious.
First of all, Dumbledore actually allowed Fudge to continue to smear him for two months during the summer vacation, which made him and Harry very passive in public opinion; secondly, when the Ministry of Magic tried to interfere with the operation of Hogwarts, he did not Being able to react forcefully made Godric, the founder, very dissatisfied.
When Fudge was killed by Salazar, Dumbledore made another mistake. The new Minister of Magic was actually chosen!
Godric couldn't believe his ears when he learned about this situation. Even he felt that at this juncture, a more reliable one of his own should be elected to power.
This Scrimgeour seemed to be a tough guy, but Godric could tell at a glance that he was actually very soft.
Salazar openly broke through Azkaban and established his power there, but he didn't react at all, just like nothing happened.
Again, if he hadn't known that the person who did this was Salazar, Godric would have worked with Helga to overthrow Scrimgeour's rule and then gather all their strength to go straight to Azkaban and fight the dark forces to the death.
Salazar was not confused about major matters, which was why Godric still maintained restraint.
But there is no doubt that Godric thought Dumbledore was unqualified as a leader of justice.
There may be reasons for his advanced age, but this is just a reason and cannot change the conclusion.
Harry didn't notice the change in Godric's expression. At this time, he was seriously thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
He just felt that something should be done, but didn't know how.
But Ron and Hermione woke up earlier than he did. After digesting the series of explosive news, the two quickly found a way to break the situation.
The two of them turned their attention to Harry in unison.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Harry asked confused.
"We need a qualified Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, one who can teach us how to use spells and correct our mistakes."
Harry's first thought was the werewolf Lupine, but he had been running for the Order of the Phoenix, and as an outsider, he could not enter Hogwarts. If he came to class, he could only take classes during Hogsmeade's open days, which would not be enough teaching time.
"It's you." Hermione broke through the window paper, startling both Harry and Godric - Godric thought it was coming at him.
"Me? Hermione, are you kidding-"
"Harry, you took back the Philosopher's Stone from You-Know-Who in your first year; in your second year, you eliminated Riddle and killed the basilisk left by Salazar Slytherin--"
"Wait! What did you say?" Godric couldn't sit still, "You killed the snake king raised by Salazar?!"
Harry and the other two looked at Godric with strange eyes, as if to say "Brother, are you serious?"
Godric's face froze, and he felt extremely overwhelmed.
The snake king had been with Salazar for a long time, and he loved it very much. If Salazar knew this news, it would be a big trouble.
He responded with a few words casually, and fooled Harry and the other two.
Harry and the other two didn't take Godric's strangeness to heart, they had other things to argue about.
Harry thought Hermione's words were just funny. In his first year, he killed Quirrell with the magic left by his mother. In his second year, he fought against the basilisk and the Horcrux, and the output was all done by Phoenix Fawkes. He just helped to finish off the enemy.
"But what about the year before last? You fought off a hundred Dementors by yourself!" Ron was excited, "Last year you even escaped from the eyes of the You-Know-Who!"
"Viktor always said that he didn't know the magic you knew, and he was in his last year at Durmstrang."
"You still keep in touch with him?" Ron looked at Hermione with suspicion, but Hermione ignored him.
"So it's actually very suitable for you to teach everyone magic!"
Godric watched the three little wizards arguing with interest.
He seemed to see the four of them when they were young, and they were like this at that time, young and cute.
In the end, Harry was convinced. After a fierce ideological struggle, he agreed with the suggestions of his two friends.
But a new problem surfaced: where should they practice spells? If they want to teach, there must be a place, right?
At this time, Godric, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.
"As for the venue, I do know one. Do you want to go with me to take a look?"
"Hmm?"
...
While Harry and his friends were busy redeeming themselves, Les was also meeting with his organization members as usual.
Among the intelligence submitted by everyone, one piece caught Les' attention.
"The Hall of Prophecy? Interesting." He raised his head and told the organization members sitting at the bottom of the long table: "Our next target is the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic."
