Fortunately, the new acting Minister Pierce was not discouraged by this. Instead, he showed unimaginable courage in such a crisis. On the day of Dumbledore’s funeral, he announced that Voldemort was listed as the most wanted criminal of the Ministry of Magic and dispatched a large number of people.

Under the recommendation, the novel app I am using recently, [\\mi\\mi\\reading\\app\\\\] Android and Apple phones support it!
A week after Dumbledore’s funeral, "Voldemort" took action again and personally led a large number of Death Eaters to attack Gringotts, which was said to be absolutely unbreakable. Hundreds of goblins were injured as a result, and many Gringotts officials died. Under the Avadaso curse of the mysterious man.
Fortunately, the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic provided timely support and did not allow the Dark Lord's conspiracy to succeed. Instead, Voldemort's spirit was once again frustrated, and a dozen Death Eaters who had no time to escape were arrested.
As for the result of this war, Pierce is naturally a big book and special book, publicizing the Ministry of Magic to defeat the mysterious man again.
The Daily Prophet has also kept posting articles to boost the confidence of the British wizards in these days, trying to make everyone understand that as long as they are united, the Dark Lord is not invincible!
Under such bombarding propaganda, the various initiatives of the Ministry of Magic quickly gained support from all walks of life. Pierce even used Gringotts staff to forcibly arrange for some Ministry officials to temporarily replace those vacant positions. , So as to maintain the normal operation of Gringotts.
Not only that, but the twenty Aurors that Pierce had brought in the past also stayed in Gringotts to take charge of daily defense work, in case the mysterious people attack here again.
After such a combination of punches, relying on the threat posed by Voldemort, the power of the Ministry of Magic has become more and more powerful. After several centralization bills have been passed, Pierce, as the acting minister, is naturally proud.
It can be said that no minister has ever had such a huge power.
Fortunately, Pierce was not dazzled by the power in his hand. The magic mark on his arm reminded him of his position at all times. Therefore, after finishing the Gringotts, Pierce rushed immediately. Go to the safe house located in Knock Down Alley and meet with Ivan.
"Your Excellency Hals, I have obtained what you ordered to find..." Pierce held a box, placed it on the table in front of him, and continued.
"According to your request, I asked the people of the Department of Mystery Affairs to make a magic-isolating storage box in advance, and put it in the first time I found it. No one touched it during this period."
"Very well, your caution is correct, Pierce! This is a dark magic item made by a mysterious man himself. It is very dangerous..." Ivan nodded and gently waved his wand to unlock the protection on the storage box. The magic wand, a simple golden trophy appeared in front of him.
After thousands of years of wind and frost, this Hufflepuff's relic is still gorgeous. The golden cup is engraved with various exquisite magic runes, which looks shining under the light of the noon sunset.
Ivan didn't reach out to touch it, so he watched it for a while...
The waiting Pierce complained to himself in his heart. In his opinion, Ivan Hals simply took this precious magic item into his bag in the name of a mysterious man.
Just as he was thinking about it, a grey-white flame suddenly ignited on the wand held by Ivan's right hand.
A feeling of heart palpitations suddenly surged into Pierce's heart, and then before he could wait for the Hufflepuff Golden Cup placed on his reaction table to feel threatened, it trembled violently, and then the endless black mist came from the cup. The mouth gushed out, and the whole room was enveloped in dense mist in an instant.
Pierce was taken aback by this sudden abnormality. He drew out his wand in a panic, only to find that he could not see anything but the black mist around him, and he could not tell where the danger came from.
And these weird black mists seem to have magical powers, mapping out what Pierce desires most, so that he has the idea of ??destroying this place directly, and even killing Ivan Hals. .
Killing him I am the real Minister of Magic... Just kill him!
The malice in Pierce's heart became stronger and stronger, but before he could act, a harsh scream rang out in the room, and the thick black mist began to gradually dissipate. After about five seconds, the whole room changed back again. It turned out that everything that happened before was like an illusion.
Pierce was stunned in place ~www.mtlnovel.com~ It took a long time to wake up, remembering the thoughts that had appeared in his mind before, and his body shivered involuntarily, and his eyes flashed when he looked at the Hufflepuff Golden Cup. A touch of fear.
"Your Excellency Hals, that was..." Pierce asked cautiously.
"Obviously, Voldemort has arranged a powerful black magic on this thing, which can evoke the evil thoughts in people's hearts..." Ivan did not mention the Horcrux, explained casually, and then took the wand away. come.
On the wooden table in front of him, Hufflepuff's golden cup had an extra round hole that was burnt out, and the exquisite magic inscriptions became extremely dim, and this magic item had been completely damaged.
It is a pity that Ivan put the golden cup in the cupboard, and it may be possible to fix it in the future.
Pierce on the other side was caught in fear for a while. Fortunately, he was somewhat restrained and was not completely bewitched. Otherwise, once he did it, the consequences would be disastrous!
But Pierce didn't know that Ivan knew everything he did and even thought, but Ivan didn't care.
After all, he had seen the ability of Horcruxes to affect emotions, and coupled with the fact that the acting minister had been suppressed by himself for so long, it was impossible for him to have no thoughts at all.
But as long as the other party has some brains, it can be thought that there is only one dead end to rebel against oneself, because now the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic are all their own, and the most elite striker is in the hands of Fren, away from himself, the so-called Pierce The acting minister is the polished commander, and no one will listen to him.
Not to mention, after Dumbledore's death, Ivan has become the veritable strongest in the magic world!
His power alone is enough to match a wizarding army. This is why Ivan is relieved to let Pierce, an outsider, be in power...
