Chapter 453 448. Soul-Calling Potion
In the Ministry of Magic, figures kept moving through the large square, and officials were busy everywhere.
Almost everyone’s face was tense, with no smile in sight, and a tense atmosphere filled every corner.
Any wizard who pays a little attention to the recent situation will know that with the current situation in the European magic world, a war may break out at any time.
In a spacious playground inside the Ministry of Magic, Fudge was standing in front of the stage giving a speech.
On his left stood Scrimgeour and Mr. Weasley, on his right stood Professor Lupine and Sirius. Behind him stood two wizards who were somewhat unfamiliar to other Aurors, Ellie. S. Longbottom, Frank Longbottom.
Below, there were Aurors and of course Strikers.
“I think some of you have heard rumors that ‘that person’ is back, right?”
“Even in the previous operations to fight the Death Eaters, you had some vague guesses.”
“I want to tell you. These are all facts. The dark wizard who fought with me in the previous operation was ‘that person’, and it was him who caused trouble in the Ministry of Magic. And I regret to tell you that the current turmoil in Bulgaria and Romania is… From his handwriting”
As soon as Fudge opened his mouth, the audience exploded.
This is the first time that Fudge has admitted the news of Voldemort’s return in public. In fact, this is not bad. Although the news has been publicly announced in the Daily Prophet and the Daily Poison and Antidote, no one is a fool. Besides, Scrimgeour had previously Call the other party the Dark Lord.
What really shocked everyone was the explosive news that overturned the Ministry of Magic in two countries.
Those are the Ministry of Magic of two countries. Even if their overall strength is not as good as the Ministry of Magic of England, they are certainly not weak.
The expressions of the Aurors varied, some were surprised, some were calm, some were suddenly enlightened, some were thoughtful, but there was no fear.
In fact, the Aurors are not as miserable as shown in the original work. Most of the time they can only be used as foils, either being knocked unconscious or on the way to being knocked unconscious, and they are not even as bright as the Death Eaters.
They are the strongest force in the Ministry of Magic, the front line against dark wizards. Each of them knew the dangers they would face in the future when they became Aurors, and were ready to sacrifice their lives at any time. However, they still joined without hesitation. This team.
In fact, many times it was not the Auror who lost the battle, but the commander’s stupid decision that led to the failure of the occupation.
It can be said that Aurors never lack courage. What they lack is a leader who is ‘reliable, able to carry, able to catch and steady’ at critical moments.
This is the situation in which a general is in a den of raging beasts, and one general is incompetent and exhausts the whole army to death.
“Be quiet.”
Fudge cleared his throat, and the audience quickly fell silent.
Fudge at this time had a very different reputation among Aurors than Fudge had before.
His ability is obvious to all, and more than one person saw it at the beginning. If the bald wizard in the woods before was ‘that person’, then how powerful is Fudge, who never lost in a head-to-head fight with him?
“Facts have also proved that although ‘that person’ is powerful, he is not invincible.”
“Don’t forget, our Professor Dumbledore drove him away and didn’t even dare to stay in England.”
If ‘that person’ is really invincible, then why did he run away when facing Dumbledore?
“The wizarding world needs stability, England needs stability, we need to stabilize the hard-won peace now, instead of a chaotic society that preaches ‘he is back’ everywhere and can only live in the shadow of ‘him'”
“The chaos that disorder will give him will only serve to strengthen the ranks of Death Eaters.”
“People are too afraid of that person, and even get into panic whenever they hear his name. This is all the result of the Ministry of Magic’s inaction over the years. Now that I’m here, I will never allow such a thing. Happen again.”
Fudge said seriously, as if what the Ministry of Magic had done over the years had nothing to do with him.
Although it is indeed irrelevant
“So, I want to tell everyone here. Please remember that we will never admit that ‘that person’ has come back. ‘That person’ has been dead for more than ten years, and he died without even ashes. Now the commander-in-chief The Death Eater is definitely not ‘that person’, but a newly rising dark wizard.”
“We can call him.”
“Dark Wizard Tom.”
As a result, Voldemort had an additional identity in the mouths of England’s Aurors, the leader of a new generation of Death Eaters – the dark wizard Tom.
“In addition, I want to announce one thing. From now on, in order to avoid the recurrence of the Ministry of Magic being controlled by the Imperius Curse more than ten years ago, all of you Aurors, including strikers, will be under my direct jurisdiction.”
“Anyone who wants to go beyond this level of relationship and order you, no doubt, must be under the Imperius Curse.”
Fudge continued: “I have asked the best alchemist in the world to make us an instrument that can measure whether we are under the Imperius Curse.”
He told a little lie here. There was no instrument at all, but a magic potion.
“I will put a spell on you in a moment. This will be used to identify me and prevent you from being deceived by polyjuice potion and other methods.”
“It will also make it easier for me to determine your identity.”
Just like Dudley said to Dumbledore, it would be outrageous if the same method could succeed twice. Under normal circumstances, you should start looking for countermeasures after the first encounter.
The Death Eaters were integrating their forces, and the Aurors also needed to consolidate their forces.
He needed these Aurors to undergo some targeted training, so he directly took over the direct jurisdiction of the Aurors.
Many people in the Ministry of Magic are waiting to see Fudge’s excitement, because this belongs to the exclusive authority of the Director of Magical Law Enforcement. However, Amelia Bones, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, expressed disapproval of Fudge’s actions. Totally agree.
On the last day of the vacation, Dudley pushed open the door of the Potions classroom with a slightly tired look. Not long after, two Potions professors, one oily and one fat, with big dark circles under their eyes, supported him one after another. The wall follows.
Professor Snape (who has returned to Hogwarts) and Professor Slughorn looked very weak, as if a gust of wind could blow them down.
However, when they saw the bottle of dark blue potion in Dudley’s hand, both professors puffed up their chests at the same time.
The birth of this potion marks that the Soul-Impering Curse, one of the three unforgivables, is no longer immeasurable and can only be lifted by personal will.
The three of them named it – the soul-calling potion.
The implication is to bring back the soul that has lost its mind.
