Chapter 416 The Ministry of Magic is About to Undergo a Major Change

As night deepened, the once quiet and somber Privet Road suddenly became restless, with one explosion after another caused by the appearance of phantoms.

The Muggle residents living here looked out of their windows and saw that the streets were deserted, with not a single person in sight, only rows of cars that had lost their luster and were sitting there looking dusty.

Of course, the empty streets represent the world as seen through the eyes of ordinary people, or Muggles.

In fact, the square number 4 Privet Drive was already surrounded by the Ministry of Magic's support, with wizards even standing on the roof.

Furthermore, the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters arrived at Magnolia Road to handle the aftermath, and Mrs. Figg's house, which was near the Dursleys's, was temporarily requisitioned to serve as the Department of Magical Law Enforcement's office on Privet Road.

Williamson and Prout, along with the Ministry of Magic staff who had previously been responsible for protecting Harry, were all here making corrections.

Under the dim yellow light of the streetlights, Belvina suddenly appeared from the void.

She stood on the clean and tidy street for a while until the Ministry of Magic guards confirmed her identity before heading toward Mrs. Figg's house, which was not far away.

Upon learning of Harry's attack and the deaths and injuries of one Ministry of Magic employee, Belvina immediately traveled to St. Mungo's to visit the seriously wounded Aurosech.

In the ward of the St. Mungo's Curse Injury Department, the air was thick with the stench of blood. Sevich's chest wound was deep enough to expose bone, and it was difficult to heal and was bleeding profusely.

Despite numerous attempts by the healers, they were unable to heal the clean, sharp wound. They could only administer a large amount of blood-replenishing medication to prevent him from dying from excessive blood loss.

Boom boom boom!

Belvina knocked on the door.

The people who opened the door were Mrs. Figg, the owner of the house, and Manny Smith, a witch from the Ministry of Magic.

Melanie was a witness to tonight's attack at the Magnolia Road amusement park. She saw her colleagues die from the Killing Curse and saw Sevi fall in a pool of blood.

"Miss Black!" Melanie Smith was very emotional. "How is Sevic Sevic now?"

'

"Mr. Savage is out of danger for now, Miss Smith," Belvina said, her calm tone reassuring Melanie Smith.

Then, Belvina looked at the homeowner, Mrs. Figg, and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you today, Mrs. Figg."

Slightly nervous, Mrs. Figg waved her hands repeatedly, and her gray hair once again stubbornly peeked out from under her hairnet.

Arabella Figg was feeling conflicted. On one hand, she was worried about Harry's safety and whether Sergei, who was seriously injured, was alright. On the other hand, she hated herself for not being able to help and hated Mundungus Fletcher for abandoning his post.

"It's alright, it's alright—no trouble at all—" Mrs. Figg said as she ushered Belvina into the house. "This way, everyone's in the living room."

This is the first meeting between two members of the Order of the Phoenix: one is a Squib who can't even transform a tea bag, and the other is a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic from a pure-blood wizarding family.

Led by Mrs. Figg, Belvina and Melanie Smith returned to the crowded living room.

Williamson, Prout, and everyone else in the living room stood up, their eyes all fixed on Belvina.

"Mr. Sević is out of danger for now," Belvina said. "However, the healers at St. Mungo's haven't found a way to heal his wounds yet, so he'll need to stay in the hospital a little longer."

Upon hearing this, the wizards in the living room breathed a sigh of relief, and their heavy expressions eased somewhat.

Although Sevic's injury sounds rather serious, he is at least out of danger and will eventually find a way to heal his wounds.

"Miss Black, it's my fault for not taking good care of everyone," Williams said remorsefully. "If I had been more careful, more attentive, they wouldn't have—"

As the leader of Harry's team, Williamson is now filled with remorse. If he had been the one who stayed at the amusement park, Savage might not have been injured, and another colleague might not have died.

"This isn't your fault," Belvina said to Williamson. "The fault lies with those evil dark wizards."

Then she said to the other wizards in the room, "Now is not the time for grief and self-blame. You should cheer up and avenge your dead and wounded colleagues."

"Melane," Belvina said, looking at Melane Smith, whose eyes were red-rimmed, "tell me again what happened back then."

Melanie Smith sniffed, temporarily suppressing her sadness, and recounted the attack that had occurred at the amusement park in detail.

Based on Melanie's and other eyewitness accounts, and considering Sevic's injuries, a question arose in Belvina's mind: why didn't the Death Eater who ambushed Sevic kill him?

Judging from the situation at the time, there were two people who rescued the bound Death Eaters. One of them used the Killing Charm to kill a Ministry of Magic employee on the spot, while the other only seriously injured Savage. Was it an accident, or did he change his mind?

However, in Belvina's mind, mercy and Death Eaters were two completely unrelated words. Torturing others was the Death Eaters' pleasure. They were all ruthless killers who saw human life as no different from roadside weeds.

While in St. Mungo's ward, Belvina harbored doubts.

Because Sevic's injury was so perfectly timed; it was serious enough, but not life-threatening as long as he was taken to the hospital in time, as if the person who attacked Sevic had made a precise calculation before making the move.

In addition, there was something else that Belvina couldn't understand.

With Voldemort hiding his tracks, where did the Death Eaters get the audacity to approach Harry Potter? Weren't they afraid of exposing themselves too early and disrupting Voldemort's plans?

If Belvina were a Death Eater, she certainly wouldn't dare disrupt Voldemort's plans.

Even if they wanted to take action to welcome the Dark Lord's return, they could only cause trouble at the Ministry of Magic; they would never dare to set their sights on the boy who had miraculously survived.

At this moment, Belvina was worried that her long hair would fall out strand by strand until she became a round, shiny bald head, and then she would say to everyone: I don't understand.

Just then, a meow interrupted Belvina's reverie. She looked down and saw a cat circling around her feet.

"This is Titi," Mrs. Figg said, looking at the cat with loving eyes.

Belvina bent down, scooped up the cat Titti that was clinging to her feet, held it in her arms, and gently stroked the cat's little head.

"If it weren't for Titi tipping me off today, I wouldn't have known that Harry was in trouble," said Mrs. Figg, who was knitting.

Because the Ministry of Magic staff were all in the living room, Mrs. Figg didn't say much, but that didn't stop her from silently cursing Mundungus Fletcher for abandoning his post.

Boom boom boom!

The knocking sounded again in the living room.

Melanie Smith, with red-rimmed eyes, went out of the living room to open the door.

After a while, Melanie brought Arnold Pisgood back to the living room.

"Belvina!" Arnold saw Belvina as soon as he walked in. "I've taken care of everything here."

Arnold Pisgood works in the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters and is the head of the Accidental Reversal Events team. He and Belvina are old acquaintances.

He continued, "It's very hot today, and most Muggles are staying home, so not many people saw what happened at the amusement park. We've also repaired all the facilities that were damaged by magic."

"Thank you for your hard work, Ani," Belvina said to Arnold.

After speaking, Belvina's gaze returned to Mrs. Figg, who was knitting.

"Do you still need us here?" Arnold Pisgood asked. "If there's nothing else, we'll head back now."

.

Belvina thought for a moment and replied, "You guys go back first, there shouldn't be any more accidents."

Privet Drive has been occupied by the Ministry of Magic tonight. No matter how audacious the Death Eaters are, they wouldn't dare to launch a full-scale attack on No. 4 Privet Drive tonight.

Arnold Pisgood nodded and left, his visit brief and his departure brief.

Not long after Arnold left, a third knock came at the living room door. This time, it was Auror Kingsley Shackler.

As soon as he entered the living room, Kingsley stated his purpose without even greeting anyone.

He said, "Amelia just made a brief statement announcing the attack in Little Huigkin and informing the public that Death Eaters have resumed their activities."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the living room became even more oppressive and tense.

Every Ministry of Magic employee present realized that the tide was truly about to change within the ministry.

Belvina looked at Kingsley Shackleton and received a subtle glance from him, knowing that Kingsley had something to say.
