"One by one, black smoke columns fell from the sky, landing on this land that has been ravaged."
The cruel and vicious laughter of Death Eaters and dark wizards under the command of the Dark Lord turned the men of the Ministry of Magic into a pale blue.
"If you kneel down and lick my boots right now, I can show you mercy and spare your life, Black!"
Bella stood on a high ridge, watching Sirius's wild laughter, his expression tensed.
"I can't learn that servile posture you had when licking Voldemort's robe, Bellatrix--"
"You actually dare to call him by his name, a disgusting***!"
Sirius successfully infuriated Bellatrix with his cold, derisive tone. The woman shrieked and ran down the ridge to confront Sirius.
"Don't act impulsively, Bellatrix!"
A cloaked wizard whose face was not visible called out, and the voice was easily recognizable as that of Lucius Malfoy.
"Don't forget what the Dark Lord has told you!"
"I can kill him first and then go. I have to kill him, no one else is allowed to, he's mine!"
Bella raged, "You can't stop me!" her wand lashing out violently. The spell casted hit the front of Sirius and Remus, causing a huge explosion and sending debris flying in all directions.
"Take Nocturnus away, he has completed his mission!"
Remus waved his wand, throwing unconscious Tanatos at the shocked Theffil, and then he swung his wand in the air, creating ripples.
" You've just lifted the counter charm on Apparition, Alastor!"
Sirius, standing in an array of battle formation, exclaimed in surprise.
"It's already pointless!"
Moody repelled the jinx casted by Bellatrix who was running towards them and shouted at Theffil, who was carrying Tanatos.
"Take him to King's Cross station!"
In an instant, the concentrated beam of light heading towards Theffil was so bright it was almost blinding, but Moody was prepared. He waved his wand and bellowed--
Suddenly, a solid wall rose in front of Theffil, giving him valuable seconds to prepare.
Two inconsequential minor characters escaping didn't matter to Bella at all. She finally made it near Sirius, her wand slashing out repeatedly.
Several streaks of spells fired by Bellatrix were blocked by Sirius' wand. As she rushed towards him in a frenzy, Sirius's handsome face showed no mercy. He took a step forward to meet her!
"The Dark Lord seems to have given his Death Eaters some orders. Whatever they are, Sirius, we need to stop him!"
"Remus whispered,"
Sirius's grey eyes gleamed with intelligence. He covertly glanced at the masked wizard who had just foolishly announced this, nodding imperceptibly before stepping forward to fight.
Boom!
But just as the two were about to engage in battle, an unexpected explosion occurred at an already dilapidated ruins. Without warning, a succession of ghostly apparitions appeared from the ground, one after another, in the gaze of the Death Eaters' vigilance!
Just like the Death Eaters had arrived moments ago, this dense group of apparitions spun in the sky for a few rounds before descending to Remus.
Emerging from the apparition state, Rufus Scrimgeour nodded to Remus and then fixed his steely gaze on the "endless" ranks of dark wizards, finally settling on Bella as she paused in her step.
"Bellatrix Black --"
Scrimgeour's tawny eyes shone with the keenness of an eagle, his tone ice-cold and severe,
"Did the Dark Lord send you back to face justice?"
Spit!
Bellatrix spat on the ground and glared at Scrimgeour,
"Jackal!"
Two hundred Death Eaters arrived to level the playing field, and no one was surprised by the current situation.
Malfoy was at...
Sirius, positioned at the front, was stealthily observing the wizard who was almost certainly Lucius Malfoy. He saw Malfoy taking advantage of the standoff to quietly...
Sirius saw Malfoy sneakily backing away...
Sirius was startled for a moment by this discovery. This flaw was spotted by Bellatrix, who grinned wickedly and lifted her wand, firing a spell at Sirius's chest like an arrow shot from a string!
"You're still so low, Bellatrix--"
Bang, bang!
Two consecutive booms, and Frank and Alice appeared in front of Sirius, Frank waving his hand to block the attack.
Compared to just a few months ago when they had just woken up, Frank and Alice's bodies were much fuller, and their complexions were as normal as others'. However, in the gaze of the two staring at Bellatrix, there was a cold, icy feeling.
"Lupin and Tonks"
Suddenly seeing these two, Bellatrix also had a moment of confusion. However, she quickly revealed a false smile.
"I'm truly shocked to hear that you've awakened from St. Mungo's, my dear. Oh, it's truly wonderful to see you recover!"
"Sirius--"
Frank turned to look at Sirius behind him, his usual gentle and humorous expression gone, replaced by a stern one.
"If you don't mind, Frank and I want to take our revenge for the fourteen years we've lost."
"But you--"
Sirius hesitated for a moment before not immediately agreeing.
"We have completely recovered, Sirius--"
Alice still stared at Bellatrix.
"And I think that Bellatrix really deserves a harsher punishment than being confined to Azkaban, but it's better not to have you do the honors."
"Alright――"
Sirius pressed his lips together and let out a single word.
"Are the Death Eaters launching a full-scale attack?"
The calm voice of Kingsley suddenly appeared behind Remus. He was there with Hagrid.
"That's... Boggart?"
Hagrid stared in shock at the giant who was pierced by something, wearing a pixie helmet.
"I won't have mistook that pixie helmet, oh!"
Looking at the giants scattered everywhere, bloodstained by the ground, Hagrid sighed and didn't say anything else.
"Not too many of us have been lost, have we?"
Arthur also appeared, and the magnificent scene of the two groups of wizards facing off for a standoff shook him for a moment.
"This is unavoidable, Arthur!"
Remus' eyes darted rapidly, he grunted, "Albus--"
"Perhaps we'll all die here today. But if we can catch these scum, it'll be easier!"
"Where's Amoska?"
The reinforcements reduced Sirius's pressure sharply, and he looked at Hagrid.
"As per the plan, you should have gone back to the Ministry with him to retrieve the gold?"
"The train carrying Kingsley had just arrived not long ago, and we were unloading the gold at the time. The two bounty hunters appeared in front of us and reported the situation --"
Hagrid wiped the tears from his eyes,
"Amoska had us all come to support, and he stayed at the station to guard the gold."
"What about the gold at this time?!"
Sirius couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he soon realized that Amoska might be preparing for something.
"I'll say this only once--"
The wind howled, blowing Scrimgeour's robes fiercely. He looked coldly at the dark wizard army opposite him.
"If you are willing to surrender now, I can recommend leniency to Minister Bone. But if you continue your stubbornness. "
Scrimgeour's words indeed caused some unrest, but it was only a minor disturbance.
"Since so--"
Scrimgeour's face turned fierce, he slowly raised his right hand――
Boom!
As the newly appointed Minister for Magic's right hand resolutely brought down the wand, the two massive currents finally collided!
