Cassian Veylorn, still simmering with rage at Voldemort's forbidden resurrection, devised a bold plan. Using his extensive network of old contacts across Europe and the wizarding world, he meticulously compiled evidence of Voldemort's return: sightings of dark magic disturbances, traces of Horcrux energy, testimonies from black-market wizards who had unwittingly aided him, and arcane sigils linked to forbidden resurrection magic.
Once verified, Cassian released the information to the wizarding newspapers, ensuring it appeared in multiple outlets: The Daily Prophet, The Wizarding Weekly, and several European wizarding journals. The evidence was irrefutable. Voldemort was back—and far more dangerous than anyone had imagined.
In England, the reaction was immediate and catastrophic for the Ministry. Cornelius Fudge, desperate to maintain his grip on power, attempted his usual strategy: blame Dumbledore and Harry Potter for spreading fear. Propaganda flooded the airwaves, portraits of Dumbledore and Harry plastered in newspapers and posters, painting them as exaggerators trying to destabilize the wizarding world.
But this time, Fudge's tactics failed spectacularly. The wizarding community saw through the lies. Every Howler, every whispered rumor, every frantic press release only served to amplify Cassian's revelations. Wizards and witches across Britain demanded accountability, calling Fudge incompetent and deceitful.
By the end of the week, the results were undeniable:
Fudge lost every shred of political credibility.
Voting percentages for the Ministry election plummeted to record lows.
Newspapers flooded the streets with Howlers exposing Fudge's cover-ups, and angry letters poured in from citizens who had once blindly supported him.
Ministers, allies, and bureaucrats abandoned him one by one.
Even those who had once doubted Cassian's motives could not ignore the mounting evidence of Voldemort's return. Fudge, once feared for his office and connections, became a laughingstock and cautionary tale of arrogance and denial. The man who had prided himself on political cunning was now considered the worst Minister of Magic in English history.
Meanwhile, the wizarding world slowly turned its attention back to preparing for the coming storm. Dumbledore, Harry, and the others worked in the shadows to organize resistance, while Cassian Veylorn relished the chaos he had orchestrated. Fudge, humiliated and powerless, could only watch as the world he tried to control slipped entirely from his grasp.
For Cassian, it was more than vengeance—it was justice for the recklessness of Voldemort and the failures of the Ministry. Yet, little did he know, Roy Valvas was already three steps ahead, quietly observing, preparing, and laying the ultimate traps to confront Voldemort—and Cassian himself—on his own terms.
The chessboard was shifting, and every move now carried deadly consequences.
