Chapter 789: Ministry of Magic Attack and Defense

Just when Fish and the others arrived at Little Whinging, Kingsley Shacklebolt was walking out of the Auror's office with Tonks and several other Aurors under his command, heading towards the elevator.

"Where are you going, Shacklebolt?" Savage suddenly appeared and called them.

Kingsley lowered his eyes, restrained his vigilance, and smiled gently: "Oh, I heard that the fugitive Sirius appeared, so I wanted to go over to confirm it."

"Then I'm afraid you have to put this matter aside for the time being," Savage said: "The Minister is now convening a meeting of the heads of various departments, and we need to maintain order."

"In that case, lead the way." Kingsley said lightly after a moment of silence.

Savage led them into an elevator, and while pressing the numbers for the third and tenth floors, he said, "I still have to notify others, so I'll trouble you to go there by yourselves. Because there are so many people, the meeting will be held in the Wizengamot Courtroom on the tenth floor."

Kingsley nodded without saying anything, silently watching him leave when he arrived at the third floor, and then continued to take the elevator to the tenth floor with Tonks and others.

When he walked into the Wizengamot Courtroom, there were already quite a few people sitting inside, all of whom were heads of various departments, but Kingsley didn't know how many of them had secretly surrendered to Voldemort, and how many had been controlled by the Imperius Curse.

As the director of the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts, Arthur Weasley was naturally among them. Kingsley exchanged glances with him without making a sound, and then separated from Tonks and others, performing their guard duties competently.

After a while, Savage also arrived, and with him came the director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, as well as several directors of his subordinate departments.

When they came in, Savage left the team, came to Kingsley's right with a smile, and greeted him in a friendly manner, while John Dawlish stood silently to Kingsley's left.

Kingsley glanced at Tonks and the others, and found that they were all quietly surrounded by other Aurors. In addition, some Aurors also fell into the same situation as them without knowing it... They should not have been controlled yet.

However...

Kingsley glanced at the number of people surrounded and sighed secretly in his heart. Even though he had been mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that the Death Eaters had infiltrated the Ministry of Magic so deeply, and nearly two-thirds of the Aurors alone had been controlled.

While he was talking to Savage casually, he quietly held the wand in his hand under the cover of his sleeve.

"Everyone is here. Mr. Minister called us here. What's the matter?" As soon as everyone arrived, the director of the Memory Cancellation Command asked anxiously: "Are you finally going to send someone to deal with those Dementors?"

Recently, there have been more and more attacks caused by Dementors. Their department is so busy that they have almost no time to rest. He is very dissatisfied with Sinis who has always been only good at talking but has no intention of dealing with Dementors.

Sinis did not care about the director's rudeness. He first glanced around, then showed a creepy smile, and said sinisterly: "Why should we deal with those Dementors? Anyway, those who died are just some insignificant Muggles."

This remark immediately caused an uproar.

"Do you know what you are talking about, Minister Thickness!" The head of the Magical Law Enforcement Reconnaissance Team stood up and asked sternly.

"Did I say something wrong, Flor?" Sinix still smiled and said slowly: "Those Muggles who tried to steal our knowledge and degrade our bloodline deserve to die! Ah... I remember that you are a mudblood, of course you will speak for them."

"You, you, you..." Flor was so angry that he trembled all over and couldn't speak.

The noise in the courtroom was getting louder and louder, and those members who were still controlled couldn't understand why Sinix said such a thing.

"Ah..."

Ms. Amelia Bones, the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and Sinix's former boss, sighed heavily and slowly stood up from her seat.

As an absolute powerful figure in the Ministry of Magic, Ms. Bones' every move was watched by people, so when she stood up, the noise around her gradually subsided, and everyone looked at her, wanting to see what she would say to her former subordinates.

"Pierce," Ms. Bones looked at the current Minister of Magic and said with some disappointment, "I told you a long time ago that people in our department can be not good at other spells, but they must practice Occlumency. It seems that you didn't listen to my words."

The smile on Sinix's face disappeared instantly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"What do you mean by that?" he asked coldly.

However, what answered him was Kingsley's roar: "Do it!"

Arthur, Tonks and other members of the Order of the Phoenix took action one after another. After knocking down some Aurors who were obviously on Voldemort's side, they quickly gathered together to protect the officials who had no problems, including Ms. Bones and Flor.

The Death Eaters and the controlled wizards also took out their wands and attacked Kingsley and his team. The remaining group of people who didn't know what was going on were stunned for a moment, and most of them were knocked down by Sinix's team. The remaining few took out their wands and stood on Kingsley's side.

Because some of the controlled Aurors were knocked down at the beginning, Kingsley's team, although with fewer people, was still able to barely stop Sinix and his team, but they couldn't rush out to find other helpers.

Although Sinix's team surrounded Kingsley and his team, they couldn't take them down for a while. After finding that they couldn't do anything to each other, the two sides gradually stopped casting spells on each other, and just occupied one side and confronted each other.

"What's going on?" Flor, who hadn't figured out the situation yet, had time to ask at this time.

"In short, they have either surrendered to the mysterious man or been controlled by the Imperius Curse." Tonks answered quickly.

"God, You-Know-Who? Isn't he already...dead?" The director of the Muggle Liaison Office stuttered.

Tonks rolled her eyes, "Do you still believe the nonsense in Fudge and the Daily Prophet?"

Just then, another group of people walked into the courtroom, led by a short and fat witch who looked like a toad.

After Umbridge and the others joined in, the number gap between Kingsley's side, which was already at a disadvantage in numbers, became even bigger.

"Hehehe..." After the arrival of the reinforcements, Sinix, who thought he had won, immediately laughed, "I advise you to surrender obediently. The master is still very tolerant of those with true wizard blood."

"Do you think you will win?" Kingsley sneered, calming down the panicked officials around him.

The real Death Eater Yaxley also sneered and said, "You don't think there are people outside who will come to help you, do you? I'm not afraid to tell you that when we were in the meeting, our companions had already controlled the others. Even if someone else came, it would only be our people."

"Sometimes, it's better not to be so sure, Yaxley."

A gentle voice came from the door, and Percy Weasley and some staff of the Ministry of Magic walked in with a tall figure.

"Sorry, it took a little time to subdue all their companions. I've kept you waiting for a long time. But... I should be here in time?"

After confirming that those lying on the ground were just unconscious and not dead, Dumbledore smiled and said to Kingsley and others.

In the original novel, Arthur Weasley became the director of the Office for the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Equipment in the sixth book, but this department was established by the new Minister of Magic Rufus Scrimgeour after Voldemort was exposed. I don't have one here, so he can only continue to be the director of the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts.

……

I have a bug here. In the original novel, after the Dementors gave up, the Ministry of Magic still locked people in Azkaban...

But it's not a big problem. It can be said that Sinix deliberately locked Umbridge and others in the Ministry of Magic.
