Chapter 1118： Get lunch

Chapter 1118: Receive lunch

"How is it going?"

Emmeline Vance secretly walked into a house near Amelia Bones' home. Because the owner had left the place vacant for a long time, it was temporarily requisitioned by members of the Order of the Phoenix.

"The looking glass rang twice. I initially suspected that some Death Eaters were coming to check, but when I went out to check, I found nothing." Tonks glanced at the large looking glass on the table, reached out to cover his yawn and muttered, "I always feel that the looking glass is not very useful. Maybe we should prepare a demon mirror."

"Of course, there may be something wrong with the Auror sent by the Ministry of Magic to protect Ms. Bones." Tonks observed the situation outside through the window, "But this possibility should not be high. The Auror sent to protect Ms. Bones The ladies' Aurors are some of the most elite in the Ministry of Magic."

"I will suggest to Moody to get a magic mirror." Emmeline Vance smiled and handed the late-night snack she just bought to Tonks. "Thank you for your hard work. You can go back and rest first. I will be responsible for standing guard next."

 “Then I’ll go back and rest first.”

Tonks took the midnight snack and after completing the handover with Emmeline, he apparated directly and left.

The secret protection of Amelia Bones is still ongoing, all due to the warning of "Master of Prophecy" Anderson.

Amelia Bones will be murdered.

 The credibility is very high.

Emmeline Vance did not believe in Anderson's prophecy, but because she knew the grudges between the Bones family and the mysterious people and Death Eaters.

 The Death Eaters would never let Amelia Bones become the Minister for Magic and stand in their way.

Once Amelia Bones becomes the Minister of Magic, she will use the power of the Ministry of Magic to avenge her dead relatives and strike hard at mysterious people and Death Eaters.

This is actually why members of the Order of the Phoenix are willing to protect Amelia Bones. They need to enlist the Ministry of Magic to fight Voldemort together.

 Although there have been no incidents so far, it does not mean that there will be no incidents. Sirius said more than once that Amelia Bones underestimated her opponent and would get herself killed sooner or later.

 Looking down on the enemy?

 They have never underestimated their enemies.

Emmeline Vance cast a disembodiment spell on herself and began to patrol around Amelia Bones' residence to determine the safety around Amelia Bones' residence. If she really sensed a crisis, she would Notify the Order of the Phoenix immediately, and even cover Amelia Bones' retreat.

 After all, she could definitely cause trouble for the sneak attackers, thereby disrupting the Death Eaters' plans and buying enough time for the surrounding Aurors.

 This is a method they came up with together. It would be unwise to fight against the Death Eaters alone.

While Emmeline Vance was patrolling around with the help of street shadows, the speculum in her robe pocket actually reacted. She took the speculum out of her pocket and frowned slightly.

 This is not the first time Emmeline has encountered this situation.

 Although it is likely to be a false alarm, we will handle it carefully every time to prevent accidents.

Emmeline Vance put the speculum into the stocking she had prepared in advance, raised her wand and began to alert her surroundings for possible enemies.

As long as you are careful enough, there should be no problem, because she is hiding under the Disillusionment Curse, and it is difficult for ordinary wizards to see through the Disillusionment Curse and find themselves.

Just when Emmeline Vance finished her patrol and was about to return to the temporary stronghold, she suddenly heard a sound coming from the front and several black figures came out of the temporary stronghold.

"Solve it?"

"We've taken down the Aurors around us," another masked Death Eater whispered.

 “Where are the people from the Order of the Phoenix?”

 “Not in it.”

"He must be found. We must clean up the area before the Dark Lord arrives." The Death Eater said in a low voice, "There must be no accidents."

 “Death Eaters!”

Emmeline Vance put her hand on her chest, trying to steady her heart that was beating fiercely. She must send the news back immediately.

  No, Dumbledore must be notified immediately, and Amelia Bones must be warned, otherwise Amelia Bones will die.

Just when Emmeline Vance was about to retreat quietly, she suddenly felt as if there was a person standing behind her. The person was pointing a wand at her, with a pair of cruel, scarlet eyes on his expressionless face.

 “Where are you going?” the man asked indifferently.

 In Emmeline Vance’s last memory, she saw an ominous green light.

 Emmeline Vance collapsed heavily to the ground.

The Death Eaters were obviously attracted by the green light that just turned on, and they raised their wands vigilantly and pointed in the direction of the green light.

Just when the Death Eaters were about to approach, they saw Voldemort coming out of the shadows.

"Owner."

 The Death Eaters lowered their heads.

"I'm very disappointed. You almost let the guy sent by the Order of the Phoenix to protect Amelia Bones escape." Voldemort glanced at his servants indifferently, very dissatisfied with their poor performance. Fortunately, he personally Come, or today's murder of Amelia Bones is likely to end in failure again.

 The Death Eaters all lowered their heads in shame.

Voldemort didn't look at them and walked directly towards the house where Amelia settled.

 After getting rid of the spies and guards installed here by the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix, he can easily get rid of Amelia Bones.

The information provided by Severus saved them a lot of trouble.

 Once the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic or people from the Order of the Phoenix come to cause trouble, Amelia Bones will probably be allowed to escape.

 …

At this moment, in the bedroom, Amelia Bones, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the warning sound from the looking glass on the bedside table.

Amelia Bones has been on alert since Sirius last warned her that she was being targeted by a mysterious man.

Not only did he put a big looking glass in the bedroom, but he also put his wand where he could reach it at any time.

Even though Scrimgeour sent Aurors to strengthen her protection, Amelia Bones still did not relax her vigilance. Especially since Fudge left his job early, the Ministry of Magic called for her to serve as Minister of Magic. Big, those guys with ulterior motives obviously would not allow her to become the new Minister of Magic.

 At least, neither the mysterious man nor the Death Eaters would allow it. They would attack her before she could serve as minister.

 Amelia Bones, who had just been awakened by the looking glass, immediately grabbed the wand on the bedside table, quickly shook her lips and used the Disguise Charm on herself, hiding herself first to ensure her own safety.

Of course, it may just be a false alarm. The looking glass is not as practical as expected, and there have been many misunderstandings recently.

Amelia Bones also hopes that this time it will still be a mistake.

However, apparently not.

 Because Amelia had already heard the footsteps outside. The person who came was probably a Death Eater.

Amelia Bones would not be stupid enough to fight with the other party, especially when she had been told that she might lose her life. The first thought of the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement was to use Apparition to leave here. .

 The enemy came, but the Auror responsible for protecting her didn't respond at all, which was obviously abnormal, and the members of the Order of the Phoenix seemed to be protecting her secretly.

However, it was too late to escape now, because she discovered that the Apparition had failed, and the Death Eaters had already been found through the sound of the looking glass.

Amelia regretted putting the looking glass in the room. It was almost telling others that she was here.

She slowly moved to the corner and pretended to have escaped.

 “She escaped. Amelia Bones was forewarned and escaped.”

There was a tremor in Yaxley's voice. He was worried that Voldemort would vent his anger on him.

 “She didn’t run away!”

Voldemort walked into the room, glanced at the looking glass that was still spinning, shining, and screaming, and turned his gaze to a corner of the room, "I'm right, Amelia Bones. .”

 After saying that, Amelia Bones was caught off guard and was hit by Voldemort's spell, and the Disillusionment Curse on her body was forcibly lifted.

"Voldemort!" Amelia gritted her teeth, and a ray of light flew directly towards Voldemort, but was easily pushed away.

If it was just a group of Death Eaters, they would probably be deceived into thinking that Amelia had escaped by apparating. However, Voldemort could easily see through Amelia Bones's Disembodiment Curse and accurately find her. Hiding location.

Amelia underestimated Voldemort's determination to kill her.

"The Bones are a very ancient family, even though they chose to go against us." Voldemort raised his arms to stop the Death Eaters who were trying to cast a spell on Amelia Bones. "We should give her a decent ending. To show respect for this ancient surname.”

 “What a disgusting guy. If you want to kill me, just do it.”

Amelia Bones gritted her teeth and stared at the ugly Voldemort. She knew that she had no chance to avenge her family.

 If...if I had listened...

 There is no if!

Voldemort raised his wand, and all the Death Eaters around him stepped back for fear of being affected by the duel.

 The battle is imminent.

 “Die, Avada Kedavra!”

The room was suddenly filled with an ominous green light. After a long time, the green light finally dissipated, and Amelia Bones fell to the ground stiffly.

 She is dead!

Died in a duel with Voldemort.

The Death Eaters were all terrified. No one expected that the famous Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement would actually recite the Killing Curse without hesitation during a duel.

This is enough to show how much she hates them.

Fortunately, the Dark Lord came in person, otherwise even if he could really kill Amelia Bones, he would probably have to lose several lives.

Yaxley raised his wand and released the Dark Mark out the window. He glanced at Amelia Bones, who was still staring at death, with a pleasant smile on his lips, and apparated away with the other Death Eaters.

 …

 At the end of the day's work, Scrimgeour had just closed his eyes to rest when he was woken up by someone.

 “What’s going on?” Scrimgeour was in a bad mood.

 “The Dark Mark appears again.”

Gadwin Robards's face was a little gloomy. Ever since Voldemort was resurrected, the Dark Mark has appeared one after another in the magical world.

 “Who was attacked?”

Scrimgeour took the strong tea from his wife, took a big sip, and then frowned and asked.

"Amelia Bones." Gadwin Robards glanced at Scrimgeour secretly, as if he wanted to read something on the other person's face.

“Where are the Aurors on duty?” Scrimgeour frowned and asked, “I remember that the protection of Amelia Bones has been strengthened.”

"All the Aurors on duty were knocked down, and we also found the body of Emmeline Vance around us." Gavin Robards hesitated for a moment, then continued, "It should have been caused by Avada Kedavra. Killed.”

　　"Emmeline Vance?" Scrimgeour repeated the name in his mouth, seeming to realize something, "Emmeline Vance is Dumbledore's person."

 “I’m afraid so.”

Scrimgeour fell into an even longer silence as Amelia Bones was murdered under the protection of the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix.

 “It was the mysterious man who did it!” said Scrimgeour through gritted teeth.

"I'm afraid the mysterious man did it himself." Gadwin Robards analyzed. "If it were just Death Eaters, it would be difficult to kill Amelia Bones under our eyes, but the Aurors Obviously they couldn't stop the mysterious man, the only problem is that they didn't kill the few Aurors standing guard."

Scrimgeour actually guessed the reason. The people who protected Amelia Bones were all pure-blood Aurors. Voldemort preferred to control rather than kill pure-blood wizards, so they survived.

Amelia Bones was dead, but Scrimgeour felt no joy at all.

Albert predicted the death of Amelia Bones. She was killed despite being protected day and night by the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix.

That also means that Scrimgeour is likely to die during his tenure as Minister for Magic, which is definitely not good news.

What's worse is that Amelia Bones didn't have time to become the Minister for Magic, nor did she deal with the mess left by Fudge.

The entire Ministry of Magic is still in chaos. Scrimgeour doesn't even know how to deal with the current mess in the Ministry of Magic. Even if he really takes over this position, he still has no good solution.

Must talk to Dumbledore.

"What should we do now?"

"Have the Crisis Response Team deal with this, notify Amelia Bones' relatives, and have someone notify Minister of Magic Fudge, notify... Nymphadora Tonks, I think she's from the Order of the Phoenix Someone tell her about the death of Emmeline Vance." Scrimgeour covered his cheek with his hand and continued, "As for the reporters... let the Minister of Magic handle it, Fudge is better at dealing with those reporters."

"I'm going to the scene to see the specific situation. If the Auror wakes up after being knocked unconscious, remember to notify me as soon as possible. We must find out what happened."

"yes."

Gadwin Robards looked at Scrimgeour, hesitated for a moment and then lowered his voice and said: "Amelia Bones is currently the most powerful candidate for minister..."

"I know what you mean, Gadwin, but the minister's position doesn't look as good as you think. Amelia Bones is dead, and there's no one to clean up the mess Fudge left." Skrein Jay signaled to Gadwin not to talk about this topic for the time being and hurried to the scene of the crime.
