The Plan Begins: Voldemort Attacks the Ministry of Magic, Proposal to Introduce Muggle Technological Weapons!

"You... you!" Umbridge extended a thick finger, pointing at Lucius and Harry, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Seeing Lucius's reaction to Harry, how could she not realize that Lucius was actually Harry Potter's subordinate?

But how was that possible?

The dignified Minister for Magic had betrayed the pure-bloods and the Ministry of Magic, defecting to Harry Potter?

"You must be joking!" Umbridge shrieked, her voice sharp enough to shatter glass. "Malfoy, you... you actually betrayed the honor of pure-bloods and became Harry Potter's lackey?"

Her face flushed crimson. Her signature pink hat tilted to one side with her violent movements, while several sparse strands of hair fell loose from her carefully arranged bun, leaving her looking utterly disheveled.

"Have you forgotten the Malfoy Family's ancestral teachings? Have you forgotten our commitment to pure-blood supremacy? Or have you been placed under the Imperius Curse by this Mudblood's lackey?"

When Lucius remained silent, merely lowering his head slightly to show his obedience to Harry, Umbridge's rage reached its peak.

She charged at Lucius like a crazed beast, shouting:

"I'll expose you! I'll let the entire Wizarding World know what a traitor you are!

"You'll be expelled from the ranks of pure-blood families! Your name will become a disgrace in the history of magic!"

However, Lucius merely shot her a contemptuous glance, sidestepped her lunge, and said coldly:

"You foolish woman, you know nothing of my lord's greatness. In the future, my lord will become the king of the New World, while you are only fit to live as a maggot in a latrine!"

Lucius's words only made Umbridge more furious and humiliated. She turned toward Harry, her expression twisting into something nearly feral.

"You think you can escape punishment, Potter?

"You think your little tricks can overturn the Ministry of Magic's order?
