A large group of goblins fell to the ground or landed on people.
Swing your weapon.
They rushed into Gringotts impatiently.
"Kill these traitors!" A goblin waved his hand and built a high platform for himself. He stood on it and pointed forward, "Take back the wealth that belongs to us!"
The goblins in Gringotts were a little overwhelmed to react.
The wizards were also frightened.
After the two goblins at the door were chopped down by the rebels and the blood irritated their eyes, they finally reacted and screamed in fear.
Snape looked up again at the Dark Mark floating above his head.
Without saying a word, he followed the goblin team into Gringotts.
Ministry of Magic.
Scrimgeour had been having a good time lately.
Although the Wild Hunt caused such a big commotion that he had to take great pains to explain to the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Magic worked overtime for three days before completely eliminating the consequences of the incident. The explanation to the outside world was that it was spies who destroyed the natural gas pipeline, causing the large-scale explosion. As for the frost... that was a normal phenomenon caused by the cold weather and the large temperature difference.
Great Britain strongly condemns this!
The country across the strait acquiesced.
Several countries that have nothing to do with Great Britain responded positively.
This is an incident of extremely bad nature.
But it had no effect on Scrimgeour, as wizards never paid attention to Muggles. The Minister of Magic handled the matter very well, and in just three days, all speculations about wizards disappeared, and Great Britain was now hotly discussing the country across the Channel.
Moreover, even because of the emergence of new enemies.
The situation inside the Ministry of Magic suddenly became stable.
If Harry and Dumbledore hadn't personally asked for it, the Ministry of Magic wouldn't even invest any energy in Mr. Scamander. However... with only a few people, the reaction was too slow, causing the whole incident to explode so tragically.
The Ministry of Magic officials who had previously been wavering and leaning towards Thicknesse now immediately stood by Scrimgeour.
Thickness was suspended pending investigation.
Those officials whose resumes showed connections with Death Eaters were also suspended one after another.
Just waiting for the final judgment.
In the Minister's office.
Scrimgeour read through the letters of protest from the Prime Minister. There was one almost every week. The Wild Hunt incident was a huge stain on the current Prime Minister.
The office door was suddenly pushed open.
Kingsley, the current head of the Auror Office, walked in, frowning, "Minister, terrible news, Gringotts has been attacked."
"Attacked again?" Scrimgeour looked up, incredulous. "Who?"
He was uneasy.
The last time Gringotts was attacked, Voldemort was resurrected there.
What about this time?
"The goblin rebellion," Kingsley replied.
Scrimgeour breathed a sigh of relief. "The goblins are rebelling again? You can handle this matter yourself and then report to me."
Goblin rebellions are nothing new.
They are very sensitive creatures.
There was a major rebellion every hundred years, with a few smaller rebellions in between.
The reasons are varied.
Because there was no goblin representative in the Wizengamot, because the goblins in Gringotts died unexpectedly, and because Hogwarts had never returned the sword stolen by Gryffindor...
There were even cases of wizards imprisoning a goblin for trying to kill three wizards, and the Ministry of Magic arresting goblins for selling leprechaun coins - the magical gold coins that disappear after a certain period of time...
However, after entering the 20th century, the goblins' rebellions became much less frequent.
Those radicals grew old and died.
But it just became less, not a lot.
The Ministry of Magic can handle these things much more easily than it did a century or two ago.
"I'm afraid the Auror Office can't handle it." Kingsley shook his head.
Scrimgeour was stunned.
Kingsley raised his hand and pointed all his fingers. "It's estimated that there are five or six hundred goblins, but I think that number may be exaggerated, but it should be one or two hundred."
"So many? Where did they come from?" Scrimgeour stood up with a bang.
Kingsley shook his head and continued, "And there's worse news."
"Those goblins all had armor and weapons, but luckily, no wands."
Scrimgeour frowned. "Anything else?"
He just asked casually.
Kingsley actually nodded: "The worst news, along with them, there is also a dark wizard who released the Dark Mark."
Scrimgeour's heart skipped a beat, and his voice was distorted: "Dark Mark?"
"That dark wizard is..."
"It's probably not the You-Know-Who." Kingsley tried to make his voice as gentle as possible, not to give Scrimgeour any more provocation. "He's wearing a hood, so we can't see his face, but his magic power is superb, and he can break the shadow lock we set up."
Scrimgeour came out from behind the desk, "Go to Hogwarts and invite Mr. Potter and Mr. Dumbledore!"
"How many Aurors are available now?"
He emphasized the word "usable".
Kingsley understood what he meant and followed his lead, quickly answering, "Only a little over twenty."
Of course, there are more members in the Auror Office than just these.
but……
Most Aurors who have received simple training can only handle minor disputes between wizards.
Most people are not qualified for tasks like this, having to suppress goblin rebellions and even fighting against dark wizards.
"What about transfers from other departments?" Scrimgeour asked.
Kingsley shrugged. He was just the head of the Auror Office and had no idea about the situation in other departments.
When he reached the elevator door, Scrimgeour finally calmed down: "Kingsley, go organize the Auror operation."
"As for the rest, have them keep a close eye on Thicknesse and the other suspended wizards."
Kingsley complied.
Scrimgeour turned around and instructed the secretary beside him, "Contact the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and the Department of Magical Incidents and Catastrophes and ask them to organize some manpower. It must be useful."
"The Goblin Liaison Office is keeping a close eye on other goblins in Great Britain. We cannot have any more enemies."
"Contact the Transportation Department to close all the fireplaces in Diagon Alley, and organize the people at the Apparition Testing Center to control the Shadow Lock in Knockturn Alley."
He paused and instructed another secretary, "Go contact the Department of Mysteries and ask them to provide as many manpower as they can."
Hundreds of goblins, armor, weapons...
If he fails to handle the situation well, his position as minister will be over.
Scrimgeour turned back and said, "I will contact Dumbledore and Mr. Potter personally."
He returned to his office.
Sprinkle Floo powder on the fireplace and stick just your head in.
Dumbledore was in his office, arguing with Fawkes.
This phoenix controls its sugar intake every day.
It’s all Harry’s fault for talking too much. It’s bad for the health of the elderly to eat too much sweets.
I am a wizard!
What's wrong with eating more sugar?
