Voldemort's reign of terror was growing more and more vicious with each passing day. His followers, the Death Eaters, were carrying out his every command, no matter how cruel or evil. And Voldemort himself was becoming more and more unpredictable, lashing out at anyone who dared to cross him.

One day, Voldemort received word that a group of goblins in East Leake, England, were rumored to be plotting against him. The goblins were notorious for their cunning and their love of gold, and Voldemort suspected that they might be working with the Order of the Phoenix to undermine his power.

He wasted no time in dispatching a group of Death Eaters to the goblin enclave in East Leake. The goblins had long been allies of the wizarding world, and their support was crucial to the Order's success. But Voldemort saw them only as potential threats.

When the Death Eaters arrived, they found the goblin enclave barricaded and heavily guarded. The goblins had clearly been warned of the impending attack and were prepared to defend themselves.

But the Death Eaters were more powerful, and they quickly overpowered the goblin guards. They burst into the enclave, wands at the ready, and began attacking anyone in their path.

Voldemort himself was leading the charge, his eyes blazing with a deadly light. He was determined to root out any hint of rebellion and to show the wizarding world that he would stop at nothing to maintain his grip on power.

As the Death Eaters swept through the goblin enclave, they began attacking families indiscriminately. Many of the goblins tried to defend themselves, but they were no match for the powerful magic of the Death Eaters.

In the end, only a few goblins managed to escape the massacre. The rest were killed, including several innocent families who had nothing to do with the supposed rebellion.

Voldemort emerged from the enclave, his robes spattered with goblin blood. He surveyed the destruction with a cold, emotionless gaze. For him, the death of the goblins was just another step in his quest for power.

But for the wizarding world, it was a chilling reminder of the depths of Voldemort's cruelty and the lengths he was willing to go to maintain his hold on the world.

The Death Eaters were growing bolder and more ambitious with each passing day. Voldemort's power was spreading across the globe like a dark cloud, and his followers were carrying out his every command with ruthless efficiency.

It wasn't long before the Death Eaters set their sights on the Ministries of Magic in Asia. They knew that if they could take control of these key centers of magical power, they could solidify their hold on the region and expand their influence even further.

The first target was China. The Death Eaters launched a surprise attack on the Ministry of Magic in Beijing, catching the wizards and witches there off guard. They quickly overpowered the defenders and installed their own officials in key positions.

From there, the Death Eaters moved on to Bangladesh, India, Iran, Japan, Mongolia, and Pakistan. Each Ministry fell to their relentless assault, and within a matter of weeks, the Death Eaters had established a stranglehold on magical power in the region.

As Voldemort consolidated his power in Asia, he sent word to his followers in other parts of the world, urging them to continue their attacks on the Ministries of Magic in their own countries. He knew that if he could take control of enough of these centers of power, he would be able to exert his influence over the entire magical world.

But even as the Death Eaters celebrated their victories, whispers of rebellion began to spread among the wizarding communities of Asia. Some were appalled by the brutal tactics of Voldemort's followers, while others feared for their own safety and the safety of their families.

In the shadows, a new resistance was forming. Wizards and witches who had previously been too scared to stand up to Voldemort and his minions began to band together, sharing information and strategies for fighting back against the Death Eaters.

The coming days would be dark and dangerous, as the forces of good and evil clashed in a battle for the soul of the wizarding world. But one thing was certain: Voldemort's grip on power was growing ever tighter, and the consequences of his reign would be catastrophic for all who opposed him.

FROM ISLINGTON, LONDON...

Bartemius Crouch Snr was a man of strict principles and an unwavering dedication to justice. He had long served as the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and his reputation as a no-nonsense enforcer of the law was well known throughout the wizarding world.

But as the Dark Lord Voldemort's power grew, Crouch found himself faced with a new and dangerous threat. The Death Eaters, Voldemort's most loyal and fanatical followers, were carrying out their master's every command with ruthless efficiency.

Crouch knew that he needed to take drastic measures to stop them. He convened a meeting of the Auror Office, and made a stunning announcement: he was giving them permission to use the Unforgivable Curses on Death Eaters without warning.

The Unforgivable Curses - the Killing Curse, the Cruciatus Curse, and the Imperius Curse - were among the most powerful and dangerous spells in the wizarding world. Their use was strictly forbidden under normal circumstances, and even aurors were usually only permitted to use them under the most extreme circumstances.

But Crouch knew that these were not normal circumstances. The Death Eaters were a dire threat to the safety and security of the wizarding world, and they needed to be stopped at all costs.

Under Crouch's new policy, suspects were sometimes handed over to the Dementors without a Wizengamot trial. It was a controversial move, and one that sparked intense debate and outrage among many members of the wizarding community.

But Crouch remained resolute. He believed that the Unforgivable Curses were a necessary tool in the fight against the Death Eaters, and that the threat they posed to the wizarding world was too great to be ignored.

In the coming weeks and months, the aurors unleashed a wave of unprecedented brutality on the Death Eaters. They hunted them down relentlessly, using any means necessary to bring them to justice.

Many Death Eaters were captured and imprisoned, and the wizarding world breathed a collective sigh of relief. But there were others who saw Crouch's actions as a betrayal of the very principles of justice and fairness that the wizarding world was built on.

In the end, it would be up to history to judge whether Crouch's actions were justified or not. But there was no denying that his decision to allow the use of Unforgivable Curses on Death Eaters marked a turning point in the first Wizarding War - a point at which the battle between good and evil became more brutal and unforgiving than ever before.
