  Chapter 1111 Rise of the Dark Lord

A black-robed man appeared out of thin air. He looked up at the manor filled with cold mist ahead, and darted towards the manor in front like a big bat. Fog stepped into the manor.

  This used to be an old Muggle manor. Before Voldemort occupied it, most of the manor was deserted. Only a middle-aged couple was hired to live here and help take care of the manor, but they have "disappeared".

  The man in black robe walked through the hall and along the passage to the living room of the manor, which was already filled with silent Death Eaters.

   "Severus," said a deep hoarse voice from the head of the table, "you are late."

   "Sorry master."

  Snape looked blankly into those scarlet eyes, and lowered his head.

   "Sit down, the meeting has just begun."

   Voldemort took his eyes off Snape and started today's important meeting.

"Lucius, you are an old friend of Cornelius Fudge, how likely do you think it is for him to succumb?" Voldemort directly set his sights on Lucius Malfoy, as an old friend of Fudge in the past, Lucius Malfoy Malfoy had more to say about Cornelius Fudge.

"The current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, is a weak character. If the means are concealed enough, through intimidation, or using the Imperius Curse to transform and control, there is indeed a chance that Cornelius Fudge will stand on our side. "

   Lucius Malfoy lowered his head lower, not daring to look directly into Voldemort's scarlet eyes.

   "But it may be very difficult to get Fudge to stand on our side publicly. I think no matter how weak Fudge is, he would not dare to do that, unless we use the Imperius Curse to control him, but that would not make much sense."

"Cornel Fudge is weak, we can give Fudge a warning, put pressure on it, maybe... we can destroy a Muggle landmark, or massacre Muggles to put pressure on Fudge to submit to his master." Yax Leigh glanced at Malfoy and offered his opinion.

"Although Cornelius Fudge is weak, it doesn't mean he will give in. Many wizards in the current wizarding world think that Fudge is the master's servant, and Fudge will definitely do his best to get rid of this," Lucius reminded, and he told Fudge had the longest contact and knew the character and weaknesses of this weak minister very well.

   "We can transform Fudge." Yaxley said without thinking.

"It doesn't make much sense to control Cornelius Fudge. He has done too many bad things in the past year, and now the entire wizarding world is asking Fudge to step down." Lucius Malfoy shook his head, "As far as I know , The Ministry of Magic has completely abandoned Fudge, and reforming him will only speed up the process and make the Ministry of Magic vigilant about it."

"They thought Amelia Burns was likely to take Fudge's place as the new Minister, and Scrimgeour even had the Aurors step up their protection of Amelia Burns, and they thought we Will do it to Amelia Bones."

   There is no Death Eater sitting here who doesn't hate that woman, Amelia Bones.

"I don't think Amelia Burns should be made the new minister. It's not conducive to our penetration of the Ministry of Magic. She should be disappeared before she is even nominated as the new minister." Yax Leigh also fears and loathes Amelia Bones.

"The Bones are a very old family. It's a pity that they went the wrong way and chose to run against us." Voldemort said softly, "Since she was chosen to be a stumbling block in our way, we can only kick it away. I will personally Deal with her to show respect for this ancient surname."

  "Before we act, we need to figure out the situation around Amelia Bones. Once the assassination fails, it will be much more difficult to kill her."

"Master, the Order of the Phoenix seems to have decided very early on that we would attack Amelia Bones." After Voldemort finished speaking, Snape interrupted to remind: "They sent people to strengthen the attack on Amelia very early on." Burns’ protection, I suspect that Anderson may have made a mess of it, maybe he predicted the death of Amelia Burns very early before providing information to the Order of the Phoenix.”

   "Albert Anderson." Voldemort whispered the name.

   "He has a very good relationship with Dumbledore. It is said that Dumbledore also received the invitation." Snape continued

   "This Mudblood has indeed caused us a lot of trouble." Voldemort looked sideways at Snape and asked, "Severus, I hope you can bring us some good news."

   "He will be married in mid-July," Snape said.

   "Mid-July?" Voldemort wasn't too pleased with that.

"He has been prepared for a long time. All the invited guests don't know the exact time." Snape took out a silver card from his robe pocket and put it on the table, explaining in a low voice: "Many professors at Hogwarts Invited, but not me, Anderson didn't trust me from the start. It's the invitation."

   "Invitation?"

  All eyes fell on the silver card, expressing doubts about Snape's words.

"This is a card that has been enchanted. It is said that the specific time and place of the wedding will not be displayed until a certain point in time." Snape explained to Voldemort, "Anderson is very vigilant, I suspect he knew from the beginning Eyeing him."

"Master, we should arrest that old woman McDougal for interrogation, and we will definitely know the exact time and place." Bellatrix raised her arms and volunteered, "That old woman actually allowed her daughter to marry a mud It is simply a shame of pure blood, why don't you let me..."

"McDoug doesn't live at home, but hides somewhere. Except for going to work at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries every day, she never appears in other places at all." Snape looked a little crazy Bellatrix reminded softly: "Unless you plan to take someone into the St. Mungo's Magic Injury Hospital to catch them, but I have to remind you that the other party has long been prepared."

"In just a few minutes, I can grab that old woman McDougal from St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries." Bellatrix didn't care about Snape's words at all, but was a little eager to try, obviously not at all. Take it seriously to break into St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries.

"Although I don't want to admit it, Anderson is indeed a big trouble." Snape reminded with a frown, "I have taught him for seven years, and I know his level very well. If you despise him because of his status as a mud farmer, you will definitely suffer a lot. .”

   "Master." Yaxley interjected, "According to the news I got recently, Scrimgeour hopes to find us with the aid of the Mudblood's prophecy."

   Voldemort fell into a brief silence, recalling some unpleasant memories. Not long ago, the lair was given over by Aurors, and there are indications that Scrimgeour probably found the specific location through that Mudblood named Anderson.

"No matter what method we use, we must get rid of that mudblood before he becomes our trouble." Voldemort tossed the silver card lightly, and the card landed in front of Lucius Malfoy, "Don't let me Disappointed, Lucius, send me a surprise for that Mudblood."

"I'll get rid of that mudblood, I promise, but..." Lucius Malfoy took the silver card and hesitated for a moment before saying, "If Dumbledore also goes to that wedding and wants to be under his nose It wasn't easy killing that Mudblood."

  Voldemort suspected that Dumbledore blocked the door earlier, and it was also related to the mudblood's prophecy?

   His Nagini, his Horcrux.

"I don't care what methods you use, get rid of that mudblood before he causes trouble for us, and I allow you to mobilize all your power." The murderous aura emanating from Voldemort made other Death Eaters around feel suffocated, "Dumbledore If so, I will deal with him myself."

"It's the master." Although Lucius Malfoy said so, he didn't have much confidence in his heart. He knew how difficult Albert Anderson was. He failed one after another, but Lucius Malfoy could not refuse Voldemort's order, nor did he dare to refuse.

  The last mission failed and he was caught. With the Portkey, he helped the captured Death Eaters escape from Azkaban Prison.

Although the Dark Lord didn't hold him accountable for his failure,...Lucius Malfoy knew that Voldemort blamed himself for the destruction of the Prophecy Ball, because he was responsible for the whole plan, even if the failure was not his fault , but Lucius still cannot avoid the need to bear the consequences of failure.

"Warning Cornelius Fudge first, if he doesn't want to stand with us, then teach those hypocritical guys a painful lesson." Voldemort made the final decision, "Yaxley, I need you as soon as possible Find out about the security around Amelia Bones. Lucius, I leave that Mudblood to you, Severus, I need you to keep watching Dumbledore and give us more Order of the Phoenix information."

   "Yes, Master!"

   "Master, I found Igor Karkaroff." Yaxley said after Voldemort finished his affairs, "That traitor is hiding somewhere in the seaside cabin in the north."

   "Very good, very good, I will personally execute that traitor." Voldemort's scarlet eyes flashed dangerously.

  He, Voldemort, wants to kill now.

  …

The next day, Cornelius Fudge returned to the office with everyone's strange eyes on him. Since the news of Voldemort's resurrection spread, his situation has become worse. Both his former accomplices and former political enemies are working together. Tried to oust him.

  There are times when Fudge wonders if he should leave the job himself.

   But he was very worried that he would be thrown into Azkaban prison just after he left his job.

  Even if he really wants to leave early, he must say hello to the next minister, and Fudge believes that his years of ministerial experience can also help the new minister.

  The idea is beautiful.

   But the next minister is likely to be Amelia Bones.

   That is a serious, brave, fair lady.

  Fudge was really not sure of convincing the other party.

  There was a hasty knock on the door outside the office.

   Fudge's right-hand assistant, Arthur Weasley, hurried into the office and reported out of breath, "Minister, the Brockdale Bridge has collapsed, and the mysterious man has collapsed the Brockdale Bridge."

   "Finally... started?"

  Fudge's body trembled slightly. Ever since Voldemort returned, he had expected such a day, but he never thought that this day would come so early.

   "Cornelly Fudge, now I'm talking to you directly."

   At this moment, a high-pitched, cold voice echoed between the walls and the floor, and the entire Ministry of Magic employees could hear Voldemort's voice. Those who didn't know it thought Voldemort was in the Ministry of Magic now.

"Throw away your hypocrisy, stand with me, I will let you stay in the position of minister, if you don't want to stand with me, a large number of Muggles will die because of you, that bridge is just a warn."

  Fudge's face was extremely pale. What Voldemort said just now drove him to a desperate situation.

   "Minister, are you okay?" Percy quickly reached out to support the crumbling Fudge, and glanced at the chaotic Ministry of Magic.

   "I'm all right, all right," said Fudge weakly. His mind was blank now, not knowing what to do.

   "Hold a press conference." Amelia Bones walked over, looked at the weak Fudge, and reminded with a slight frown, "Now, we must clarify immediately."

   "Yes, yes, this matter must be clarified immediately." Fudge nodded quickly and said, "Weasley, please."

   "Leave it to me, Minister."

   "Are you okay?" Burns asked.

   "Perhaps, it's time for me to resign myself." Fudge was full of bitterness. He knew very well that he was finished, and it would be useless to express his opinion immediately, unless he surrendered to Voldemort. No, even if he surrendered, he would not be able to continue serving as Minister of Magic.

  Borns looked at Fudge and fell into a brief silence. She knew what Fudge wanted to say, but she didn't know how to clean up the mess Fudge left behind.

"Everyone should have heard that we are facing unprecedented challenges." Fudge came to the hall and said to all the employees of the Ministry of Magic, "Since the resurrection of the mysterious man, I have expected this bad day to come, but I will not Bow down because of that, and the Ministry of Magic won't give in to threats like that..."

   Fudge's speech was met with genuine indifference.

   "Minister, what countermeasures are you going to take?"

   "Minister, when will you leave?"

   "Minister, Minister..."

   "When everyone elects the next minister, I will leave immediately." Fudge looked bitter, and he knew that he had to give an explanation today.

  The whole wizarding world has been clamoring for him to resign for a long time.

  If a large number of Muggles were slaughtered because of his relationship... Fudge couldn't bear to think about it any longer. Maybe, he should resign earlier and leave this mess to others.

   Having received Fudge's willingness to resign, all the employees of the Ministry of Magic couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They all hope that the new minister can lead everyone through the current crisis.

  However, they thought too much.

  Even Dumbledore can't solve the current problem, let alone the Ministry of Magic who likes to intrigue. In their eyes, their own interests are the most important.
