v2 Chapter 1653： I opened the last (1/2)

In a dignified atmosphere, Scrimge looked at Ai.

As before, his eyes are full of distrust.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron all knew that Ai didn't tell the truth. They obviously saw him leaving the double snake stick in Hogwarts, but he didn't dare to say anything at this time, for fear of being seen by Scrimgeour.

”About the double snake, I think you know more than me, Mr. Minister.” Ai continued, ”The scepter disappeared!”

”How did it disappear?”

”It just disappeared. I put it on the bed before I went to sleep. I woke up and disappeared. It may have been stolen, but I think it is because of magic, like the magic on the Gryffindor sword. The wizards of the era always like to cast such magic on precious magical objects.” Ai said innocently, ”I am just a Gryffindor, maybe not worth having a double snake stick. If you want to find it, I suggest You are looking for the real Slytherin, you must be selected in your mind. Need my advice? I think Malfoy's family is pure Slytherin for generations, and the scepter may be in their manor, you can go Look there. As far as I know, Lucius Malfoy has always had a good relationship with the Ministry of Magic, and he may be willing to give the double snake stick to you.”

Ai's voice just fell, and Scrimgeour's face suddenly became iron.

He seems to know that Ai did not tell the truth, but there is no evidence to refute that the Death Eater Lucius Malfoy has a good relationship with the Ministry of Magic, which is a great irony.

Since the fall of Azkaban, the Ministry of Magic’s uncontrolled area is not only a wizarding prison on the North Sea, but also several other Death Eaters gathering areas, including Malfoy Manor, which is now dead. The base camp of the apprentice was unable to enter with the current strength of the Ministry of Magic.

As long as Voldemort is there, no Auror can match it.

Scrimgeour is well aware of this situation, so he can't wait to know the secrets that Dumbledore left. This secret can be a powerful weapon or a way to defeat Voldemort. Everything is good. Just find it and he will You can take the Auror into the Malfoy Manor and fight with Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

This is probably the plan of Scrimgeour, but the actual situation is completely different from what he imagined. His ideas have been wrong from the very beginning and are doomed to be unsuccessful.

And the situation is much worse than he imagined. Scrimgeour probably thought that Voldemort and Death Eaters had retreated to a place like Malfoy Manor, waiting for him to take the attack, and did not expect these black wizards to counterattack the Ministry of Magic.

Even during the last war, no such thing happened.

”About what you said, the ministry will investigate further. Mason, you'd better have enough evidence to prove that you are telling the truth, or you will face the most severe allegations.” Scrimge said bluntly, ”As for Malfoy Manor, I will go there, I am very disappointed with a few of you.”

”We are also very disappointed with you, Minister.” Harry replied bluntly.

Obviously, they are talking about collapse!

Scrimgeour didn't stay, he looked at Ai and Harry deeply, then turned around without saying a word and limped out of the room.

Mrs. Weasley hurried to the past. She stopped at the back door for about a minute, then shouted: ”He is gone!”

Shortly after Scrimgeour’s departure, Sirius came back, but Lupin and Tonks did not appear again.

Still in the living room on the first floor, the conversation continued, but this time, the object of conversation with Ai, Harry, Hermione, and Ron became Sirius.
