Outside the ministry, Voldemort and his followers from the inner circle were waiting for news about what was going on in the ministry, Voldemort had pressed his wand against Snape’s dark mark and surprisingly, none of the marked death eaters that work in the ministry had come out to their call.

“It’s not working my lord,” Snape said with a confused expression before he fell on his knees.

No matter how many patronus he sent, his doe disappeared before entering the building.

“Something wrong is going on here…” Voldemort muttered to himself as he considered the options he had. “We’re going to enter by force but before that, we need our human shields, it’s time we use the camp prisoners for their purpose,” Voldemort said with a cold tone.

Yaxley looked at his master’s eyes with a smirk before he nodded and apparated away from there.

“I think I’ll call the Granger girl my lord, she’s going to serve us well for this,” Snape suggested with a slight smirk and Voldemort nodded at his most faithful follower.

Snape cast another patronus but he was surprised to realize that the patronus moved towards the ministry once again even though it was directed at Granger and the thing dissipated again which only meant one thing.

“Granger…She’s inside,” Snape said as he gritted his teeth. “It seems like she has decided to betray us, such a shame, she showed some interesting talents but she decided to betray us,” Snape couldn’t believe it.

Just like the dark lord, he thinks of him as the strongest that none would dare to defy, however, inside he knew he shouldn’t be so surprised about what Granger did.

“Are you sure Severus?” Asked Voldemort with a curious expression.

“Yes, if there’s someone that could be behind something like this is Granger, the girl is quite the fighter, in fact, she could’ve easily been a Slytherin even if she’s a muggle-born,” Snape couldn’t help but snicker.

He hated her so much, she was just like Lily, and to make things worse, apparently, the Granger girl admired the redhead, so, Snape became angry because he sometimes felt like she was trying to surpass Lily, his beautiful Lily whom no one could compare of in his mind.

“Well I guess I need to tell Crabbe and Goyle to take care of her parents,” Snape smirked.

Snape then touched his mark but nothing was happening, then he tried to send a Patronus but his doe didn’t move, so, his eyes widened, he knew what that meant.

“Crabbe and Goyle…They’re dead,” Snape said with a shocked expression.

Soon there were gasps in the inner circle, the parents of those two couldn’t believe what they were hearing.

“Severus…There must be something wrong it can’t be—” Goyle didn’t want to believe that his son was dead.

“There’s no mistake, my patronus hasn’t moved, and that’s because it knows that the persons I’m trying to reach are dead,” Severus’ words made everyone gulp.

Someone killed the children of two of the members of the dark lord's inner circle, not only it was something bad for the fathers but it was also an insult towards Voldemort, after all, this made it look like his protection meant nothing.

But before they could say something, Yaxley came back and he was barely able to stand up, he was bleeding everywhere because he had lost an arm.

“Yaxley what the…” Voldemort’s eyes widened as he saw his army general’s current state. “No way…You idiot…Did you touch something weird?!” Asked the dark lord with a shocked expression.

“Yes…It tempted me, it was a ring, it was so beautiful it was screaming at me to put it on and then my arm started to darken, luckily I was able to cut my arm before the curse advanced,” Yaxley said with a scared tone.

“You idiot, that curse is still going…Where are the prisoners?!” Asked Voldemort as he started to lose his patience.

“T-They’re gone…And the guards are dead or missing—” Yaxley couldn’t continue because suddenly he started screaming as he felt like his whole body was set on fire. “Make the fire stop, it hurt!” Screamed the man desperately.

Meanwhile, the death eaters were looking at him with confused expressions because the man was shaking and moving desperately from side to side, they had no idea what fire he was talking about as he seemed fine.

“I’ll do it, I’ll do whatever I need to do to make it stop, and if that’s what you want I'll do it!” Yaxley suddenly raised his wand.

The death eaters and Voldemort were looking at him with confused expressions but then, most of them were caught by surprise by the man as he started sending killing curses everywhere, Yaxley started to laugh maniacally but the fire wasn’t stopping.

“Okay, this is enough!” Voldemort said angrily. “You’re of no use to me any longer…Avada Kedravra!” Said the dark lord before Yaxley fell to the ground completely lifeless with a smirk on his face.

But even if the chaotic entity was gone, the panorama didn’t look too good as Yaxley took some of the wizards of the inner circle including Crabbe and Goyle.

“This is not right,” Voldemort said as he tried to get into the ministry by force. “This place is warded,” the dark lord murmured as he tried to break down the wards.

However, his eyes suddenly widened before he moved as fast as he could from his position, suddenly a thunder pulverized some of his followers, and he would have been one of them if he hadn’t moved fast.

“My lord…What shall we do?” Asked Snape feeling uneasy.

There was clearly someone defying the dark lord and it was someone strong, Snape was starting to feel doubts about the role they were playing because their enemy clearly didn't fear them.

In different circumstances, Voldemort would’ve decided to leave this place alone, however, he couldn’t afford to make himself look like a coward in front of the men and women at his service.

“Activate protocol seven,” Voldemort said with a low tone.

The death eaters started to murmur but then grinned as they knew something amazing was about to happen, the dark lord didn’t look as amused as them but they were hopeful this was going to be interesting.

“As you order my lord,” Snape said with a tone full of servitude before he apparated from this place.

A few minutes later Snape came back and he was grinning.

“It’s done, my lord…Your army, the giants, the werewolves, the vampires, and many other dark creatures are ready to come to assist us in capturing the traitors who did this,” Snape said with a confident tone.

“Very well, those giants are going to be a huge help due to their ability to defend,” Voldemort couldn’t help but chuckle.

They decided to wait, it was just a matter of time before the entire army arrived at this place, the ten thousand creatures at his service were going to destroy any attempt at revolting, this was going to be interesting, the dark lord had already started to fantasize about what he was going to do with the traitors, however, he was too distracted to notice a laser-like light that moved close to his face, in fact, the moment he felt his cheek bleeding, he felt a bit scared.

“Who are you? What are you doing? Reveal yourself!” Ordered the dark lord with an angry tone.

Then coming out of the ministry, Dumbledore and the order of the phoenix were standing next to each other with smiles on their faces, however, the dark lord suddenly got scared because he realized that they weren’t alone as the international police were with them too, the ICW finally decided to make a move and he didn’t know how to feel about it.
