"The Jedi counterattacked and the Ministry of Magic won a complete victory."

"Scrimgeour—Fight fire with fire."

"The Ministry of Magic's temporary policy adjustment during the war - no tolerance for dark wizards."

"Albert Anderson - the youngest prophecy master in history."

"Bloody wedding, who is behind it."

"Veritaserum will be used in the interrogation of prisoners."

"The most ruthless Minister of Magic ever."

"Another Dumbledore, the wizard who is feared by He Who Must Not Be Named."

On that day, the news that Scrimgeour led the Aurors to defeat the Death Eaters spread quickly through major newspapers, and the entire wizarding world was in an uproar. Fudge, who was helping Scrimgeour handle the election, was even more shocked.

Fudge suddenly understood why Scrimgeour was stalling for time. It turned out to be just for this. Taking the position of Minister of Magic with the power of defeating the Death Eaters would save him a lot of trouble.

All this was Scrimgeour's plan. The guy had already discussed it with Anderson and used the other party's wedding to set up a trap to lure the Death Eaters into taking the bait.

Thinking about it, the guests attending the wedding were all Aurors pretending to be Aurors. It's no wonder that the Death Eaters fell into trouble.

Eight were killed and three were captured alive.

Fudge also heard that the three Death Eaters survived because Scrimgeour planned to fine them.

To be honest, Fudge was completely stunned when he heard the news, and he imposed heavy fines on the Death Eaters.

Are you sure the fine is not extortion?

Fudge never thought that he would one day blackmail Death Eaters.

The reason why Fudge knew this bombshell news was that Scrimgeour hoped that he could persuade the three unlucky ones to pay. Because the three Death Eaters were all his old friends: Malfoy, Crabbe and Carlo.

In Scrimgeour's words, the Ministry of Magic is in urgent need of money to purchase dark arts defense items for all Ministry of Magic employees.

Since the Death Eaters caused this chaos, they should pay for it.

This bandit's logical statement simply confused Fudge.

Dark magic defense items?

Fudge learned from Percy a while ago that it was said that the products were sold in a store opened by Albert and three friends, and the response from the Aurors was very good.

This... wait, Fudge suddenly understood.

This was obviously a cooperation between the two parties. He originally thought that the relationship between Auror and Anderson was not good, but now it seems that is not the case.

Scrimgeour is obviously colluding with Anderson, and Scrimgeour is very good at this. He directly secured the position of Minister of Magic and also attracted a reliable ally. It is said that Scrimgeour is also wooing Dumbledore and Phoenix.

Society, and also planned to let Kingsley and Arthur persuade Harry Potter to give him a platform and support his course of action against Death Eaters and dark wizards.

As for using veritaserum to torture prisoners, Fudge didn't think it was a big deal at all.

The problem is that Scrimgeour seems to be planning to use this place to kill a group of extremely vicious dark wizards.

If both Harry Potter and Dumbledore could support him, after a wave of interrogations with veritaserum, it is hard to imagine how many of the captured dark wizards would survive in the end.

Fudge heard that Scrimgeour had hidden his family and that he was the only one left at home, and he was ready to fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters head-on.

So cruel.

Moreover, he is not only cruel to others, but also cruel to himself.

However, Scrimgeour may really be able to change the terrible situation in the wizarding world.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

"minister……"

As soon as Percy opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Fudge.

"Weasley, I have recommended you to Scrimgeour. He is very satisfied with your abilities." Fudge said to Percy, "Next, you have a task, which is to work with Kingsley and Arthur.

Let's go find Harry Potter with Weasley."

"Looking for Harry Potter?"

Percy was in a daze. He was not surprised that he became the assistant to the new minister, because Albert had already made a prediction for him.

Percy knew his next task very well, which was to become the bridge of communication between Scrimgeour and Albert.

Sometimes, Percy felt it was incredible. He never expected that Scrimgeour would cooperate with Albert. The two parties had been very unhappy before, but Scrimgeour was actually willing to put down his position, which surprised him.

However, seeing this wave of magical operations, he suddenly understood why.

"Yes, Scrimgeour hopes that Harry Potter can support his subsequent policy against Death Eaters and dark wizards." Fudge handed a piece of parchment to Percy, "This is the process. Harry Potter only needs to reveal

When we meet, just say a word."

"I very much agree that the Ministry of Magic takes tough measures to deal with dark wizards. You must not be merciful or merciful when facing these evil guys, because that is irresponsible for yourself, your family, and everyone's lives." Percy read softly.

Even he felt that the words on the parchment made sense.

Is this asking Harry Potter to support the Ministry of Magic in directly killing those evil dark wizards?

Percy knew about Scrimgeour's policies after he took office.

Scrimgeour obviously planned to let the Savior and Dumbledore endorse together to share his pressure.

Otherwise, if you kill a large number of people, what will other people think?

It's so cruel, it's also scary.

But if we don't do this, it will be really difficult to suppress the arrogance of Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

Percy felt that it was probably the mysterious man and the Death Eaters who came to cause trouble at the wedding, which completely annoyed Albert, so he said something to Scrimgeour.

"What should we do with the reporters?" Percy suddenly asked.

"Let the reporters come back to interview the new minister tomorrow." Fudge said impatiently, he still had things to be busy with.

After a while, Fudge went to the courtroom alone, where ten Aurors were guarding three Death Eaters. The three of them looked a little dazed, as if they had just been force-fed veritaserum. Scrimgeour's assistant

He was writing something on the parchment. When they saw Fudge coming in, everyone nodded slightly towards him.

"How's it going?" Fudge asked.

"The charges have been clearly explained."

The assistant said as he handed several pieces of parchment and notes to Fudge, and then followed the Auror to temporarily leave the courtroom, leaving room for them to communicate.

Fudge glanced at the incriminating evidence on the parchment and then at the content on the note. His heart trembled for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and looked at a few old acquaintances who were locked in iron cages.

After a long silence, Fudge suddenly said: "Scrimgeour asked me to convince you."

Lucius was silent for a moment and then asked: "Convince us?"

"He asked me to ask you whether you want to die or go to Azkaban prison alive." Fudge glanced at the content on the note and continued: "Actually, you are lucky. At least you still have a choice. Eight

A Death Eater was shot dead on the spot."

"What do we have to pay?" Lucius Malfoy tried to calm down.

"Gallons." Fudge turned over the parchment in his hand and introduced calmly: "Pay a fine according to your crime. Mr. Malfoy needs to pay fifty thousand, Mr. Crabbe thirty thousand, and Mr. Carrow twenty thousand.

"

"This is naked robbery." Crabbe roared angrily.

"Actually, I think so too." Fudge showed a helpless expression and shrugged at the three of them, "But this was Scrimgeour's intention. Several Aurors died in the battle. He was very angry and didn't let you directly.

Death in battle is because you are pure-blood wizards and the crime is not serious. Fudge put away the parchment and reminded: "Don't look at me like that. I'm actually just helping to spread the word. You only have five

Minutes to consider.”

"What if we disagree?" Lucius Malfoy asked.

"The Aurors outside will come in and help you die." Fudge took out his pocket watch and looked at the time and said: "This is not a threat. Scrimgeour actually wants to kill you all. By the way, he asked me to pass a message to you.

If you are alive, there is hope."

"No need to think about it, I promise to pay the fine." Lucius Malfoy said before Fudge left, "Will we be sentenced to life imprisonment?"

"right."

"This new minister is really extraordinary!" Lucius sighed with emotion.

"You..." Crabbe turned and glared at Malfoy.

"Promise, there is hope only if you survive." Malfoy did not look at the two colleagues around him, but directly asked Fudge, "What should we do next?"

"Write a letter home and ask them to pay the fine." Fudge was very satisfied that Malfoy knew the current affairs. At least the task given to him by Scrimgeour was successfully completed.

After convincing the three of them, Fudge called the Aurors outside. The Aurors would temporarily detain the person in the Ministry of Magic, waiting for trial in two days.

Meanwhile, if the Ministry of Magic fails to get the money, the three of them will not even be qualified to be tried.

After completing his mission, Fudge went directly to Scrimgeour's office.

Although Scrimgeour has been elected as the new minister by an overwhelming vote, the appointment will not take place until tomorrow morning, so Scrimgeour did not use the minister's office.
