how did Sirius and 'You-Know-Who' get in...

[Airknight]

how did they get in the minstry of magic in book five?? i mean, as hermione said:

'but...Harry, think about this,' said Hermione, taking a step towards him, 'it's five o'clock in the afternoon... the Ministry of Magic must be full of workers... how would Voldermort and Sirius have got in without being seen? Harry... they're probably the two most wanted wizards in the world... you think they could get into a building full of Aurors undetected?'

it makes sense though, they were very popular in the wizarding world, so how did they get in without any wizard's notice??

They must've just acted like normal beings to get in.

Yeah but remember there were NO wizards in the Ministry AT ALL. Perhaps bomb threats (yes, Wizard bombs, lol), an urgent Ministry-involved incident elsewhere, etc.

Lucius Malfoy, in preperation for Lord Voldemort's plan, must have tipped them off to matters elsewhere, or somehow been responsable, since he works at the Ministry. Not to mention some of them were at Hogwarts ending the O.W.L.s.

Didn't they arrive late at night, and can't you apparate to the MoM - Mr. Weasley said he does?

Are you sure he WORKS at the ministry? I thought he always hung around Fudge but didn't work at the ministry. If i recall correctly Draco said something about his father always being with the top members of the ministry. I don't think he said that Lucius works there. It is possible that i am the one confused here. Anyone know for sure?

I don't remember anything about him actually WORKING there... but he probably is extremely influencial. He has more than enough money to crush just about anybody he doesn't agree with, so long he can find some half-assed yet viable reason. He's more like a his own personal lobbyist than a politician... but I wouldn't be surprised if he ran for minister...

Sirius never entered with Voldemort, remember? Thats just something Voldemort show Harry in his head so he would think Sirius was there so he could get Harry exactly where he wanted him. Sirius only entered the MoM after the DA was in and there were no ministry workers around.

yeah, it would be easy, wouldn't it?
