Chapter 918: Ministry of Magic 1 mess

"...What exactly does Black want to do?"

There was a sound of smashing things and curses in the Minister of Magic’s office. Everyone knew that Fudge was furious, and they consciously bypassed the Minister’s office. Minister's mold.

Since Sirius Black threw some heavy news in the Three Broomsticks bar, Minister of Magic Fudge has been in big trouble, especially when it was reported that Fudge was collecting half of Peter's family wealth before allowing Mrs. Peter to go to Azkaban. The news that the prison visited Peter immediately aroused criticism from the magical world. What's worse is that Mrs. Peter's follow-up sorrow operation unexpectedly used compound medicine to rescue Peter from Azkaban. Many people couldn't help but think of conspiracy. They He even thought that Fudge actually knew it, and tacitly agreed that Mrs. Peter rescued Peter from Azkaban prison, and that half of Peter's family was the bargaining chip for the two parties' transaction.

When the situation is unknown, conspiracy theories are really popular.

Many people expressed doubts about this and asked the Ministry of Magic to investigate the whereabouts of the wealth.

Although the wealth was processed and most of it was donated to the St. Mungo Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries as a public welfare cause, it still caused Fudge a lot of trouble.

However, after Sirius Black broke out that Peter Pettigrew was trying to resurrect Voldemort, and there seemed to be signs of success, the whole thing got a little worse.

If there was no such thing as Voldemort's resurrection, even if someone knew about the deal between Fudge and Mrs. Peter, it wouldn't be a big deal.

After all, even if someone inquires, it will be found that Fudge did not handle the money at all, and this wealth was directly donated to the St. Mungo Hospital for Magical Injuries.

As for how much the Minister of Magic has greeted ink from it, no one knows, and no one goes into it.

After the news of Voldemort's resurrection spread throughout the magical world, even they did not know whether Voldemort was resurrected, but they all knew that it was the Minister of Magic who took half of the Peter family's property that led to Peter Pettigrew's successful escape from prison.

This scapegoat must be buckled on Fudge's head.

And, regardless of whether this is true or not, Peter Pettigrew used the Imperius Curse to control Barty Crouch, the director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department, and finally killed him at the risk of being caught by Dumbledore, a crime. The evidence is solid, even Cornelius Fudge can't hide it, and part of this account will be counted on Fudge.

Therefore, Fudge would never admit the fact that Voldemort was resurrected, not to mention that he had not witnessed it personally, and there was no evidence to prove it. Fudge would definitely not be able to overwhelm his future political career.

Fortunately, Dumbledore promised to keep the news temporarily to avoid causing panic in the magical world, so that the Ministry of Magic has time to hunt down Peter Pettigrew, prevent him from resurrecting Voldemort, and kill all dangers and problems in the cradle.

Although Fudge never admitted that Voldemort was still alive, he knew very well that he had to make up for the mistakes he made unintentionally. As long as the problem was solved smoothly, even if people knew it afterwards, the matter had passed and no one would go into it.

However, Sirius Black abruptly uncovered the scar, exposed the wound to everyone, and sprinkled a handful of salt on the wound.

This was undoubtedly the result of punching Fudge in the nose face to face, then slapped Fudge with two big slaps, and beat Fudge directly.

To make matters worse, the British magic circle has begun to have voices asking him to resign.

Once Satoshi Pettigrew helped Voldemort return, but he could not stop it.

No matter what causes Peter Pettigrew to escape successfully, Fudge will probably have to get out of the position of Minister of Magic.

This is a result that he absolutely cannot accept.

Fudge even suspected that this was Dumbledore's conspiracy. Dumbledore wanted to oust him from the position of Minister of Magic, change to an obedient Minister, or become Minister of Magic himself.

As for whether the mysterious man is still alive, Fudge expressed doubts about it. He would never admit that the mysterious man was alive before he witnessed the mysterious man with his own eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, Fudge picked up the quill and wrote to Dumbledore. He felt it was necessary for him to talk to him.

If it is not necessary, Fudge really does not want to have unnecessary conflicts with Dumbledore. Dumbledore’s reputation is so great that his words are sometimes even more useful than his own Minister of Magic. Fudge knows that as long as Dumbledore is willing , Many people are willing to push him to the position of Minister of Magic, which makes Fudge very jealous.

Putting down the quill, Fudge glanced at the "Daily Prophet" and decided to write to Barnabas Goofey, the editor-in-chief of "Daily Prophet" by the way. Those **** false reports must stop.

...

Barnabas Gufe, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, also encountered some troubles.

Those words of Sirius Black deeply hurt some people and made them wonder whether the Daily Prophet could tell people the truth.

However, Barnabas Guffi’s situation is not as bad as Fudge’s. Sales of "Daily Prophet" are still good. Despite a lot of infamy, Rita Skeeter’s recent article on Ministry of Magic sports The report by Ludo Bagman, Director of the Sports Department, successfully diverted everyone's attention.

By the way, the reports for several days have turned everyone's attention to the Ministry of Magic. After all, Barty Crouch Jr. is still alive, and is hiding away to make trouble.

This scapegoat undoubtedly needs to be buckled to Barty Crouch. Even if Barty Crouch is dead, this scapegoat will also be buckled to the Ministry of Magic. Who makes Barty Crouch the international Where is the director of the Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department?

This is a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic, and there is nothing he can do about it.

What's more, there is the scandal of Ludo Bagman, the director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic, who owes money and lapses in debt, and Barty Crouch, these two big melons, are enough for everyone to divert attention.

Oh, yes, and the Minister of Magic.

Although the "Daily Prophet" did not report Fudge's deeds, it still pointed the finger at the Ministry of Magic. The posture of the Ministry of Magic that there are problems everywhere is not a problem with their "Daily Prophet".

Rita Skeeter is still quite good, and easily distracts everyone's attention, which has also caused Fudge's recent troubles to increase.

As for the Minister of Magic’s protest against the false report of the "Daily Prophet", Barnabas Guffi did not care very much. The "Daily Prophet" was not run by the Ministry of Magic. He absolutely did not allow the "Daily Prophet" to be published by wizards. In his heart, there is an image of often collecting hush money and shutting up on certain things.

What's more, this matter is too late. When Sirius Black throws out this heavy news, he can’t hide it. Even if the Daily Prophet shuts up, Sirius Black will have his own magazine. Comparing them with each other, the status of "Daily Prophet" will plummet, and the reputation of the mouthpiece of the Ministry of Magic will be lost.

As for the Minister of Magic’s anger, Barnabas Gourfee naturally had a way to deal with it. He wrote a letter to the other party, implying that he could not cover the matter at all, and pointed the finger at Sirius Black who threw the heavy news. And remind Fudge that even if he shuts up, Sirius' magazine will still publish relevant news, which is meaningless.

As for how Fudge intends to deal with this matter, it is not what Barnabas Guffi is concerned about, anyway, he has already thrown out the scapegoat.

Fudge was very angry after reading the letter from Barnabas Guffi, but he also knew that Barnabas Guffi was right. This matter was indeed a problem with Sirius.

And Sirius was Dumbledore's, he would like to hear how Dumbledore planned to explain this later.

...

Late at night, Fudge finally waited for the old guy he hated in his office, and angrily accused the other party of deliberately leaking the news and causing panic in the magical world.

"I probably know the reason."

Dumbledore completely ignored the angry Fudge, and said calmly: "Sirius wanted to kill Peter. You should know their grievances. His friend died because of Peter's betrayal, and he himself was imprisoned in Azka. In Ban prison for more than ten years, their hatred has been endless. It is not a problem that someone can solve in a few words."

"Before, because of Harry's persuasion, Sirius finally made up his mind to send Peter Pettigrew to Azkaban prison, and Peter Pettigrew escaped from prison. This is obviously something Sirius Black cannot tolerate."

"That's why he did that." Fudge felt baffled.

"Yes." Dumbledore said, looking at Fudge calmly. "In Sirius' eyes, this matter has some of your problems. I think he did that to force you and the Ministry to find and kill as soon as possible. Dead Little Dwarf Peter."

"We want to do that too. The Aurors are looking for Peter's whereabouts all the time. They have tried their best." Fudge said angrily.

"Don't say this to a person who has been dazzled by hatred. It doesn't make any sense." Dumbledore shook his head. "I heard that he has been looking for a fortuneteller recently, trying to find the position of Peter Pettigrew by means of divination."

"Augur." Fudge felt it was absurd.

"Yes, he found a certain prophecy master living in Britain. We don’t know whether he got the answer, but there is no doubt that what Blake said should be true. He still won’t give up on the hunt for Peter Pettigrew. I also heard recently that he was trying to encourage...Anyway, a man who wants revenge in his head, no matter what he does for revenge, I won’t be surprised.” Dumbledore said quietly, “As for why Blake is targeting You, I think you should be very clear."

"It was just an accident, how could I know..." Fudge was quite angry.

"This matter really deserves our vigilance. It's best to catch Peter alive and use Veritaserum to tell him where Barty Crouch Jr. is." Dumbledore stared at Fudge and reminded, "If you don't want Voldemort to come back to life. Suppressing his helper is the best choice. If you sit on the sidelines for some reason, everyone will be unlucky together."

"It's ridiculous Dumbledore, the mysterious man is dead." Fudge said angrily.

"No matter how you deny it, you can't deceive others." Dumbledore didn't argue with Fudge in this regard, he knew that there was no point in doing that.

"I have received a lot of bad predictions. Someone once told me that one time was a coincidence and two times were a coincidence. How about three times or more?" Dumbledore ignored Fudge and said to himself. "There are not so many coincidences in this world."

"What prophecy? Who made the prophecy?"

"I don't know, Sirius didn't say, he said the other party wouldn't let it." Dumbledore said gently. "The magic world will become a mess in the next few years. It will get worse every year, and people will die everywhere, ah Inmates in Zkaban prison will also escape on a large scale. Eventually the Ministry of Magic will collapse, so he is planning to leave Britain and seek refuge elsewhere."

"It's nonsense." Fudge shouted, blushing.

"Actually, I don't really believe in the prophecy. There are so many things involved." Dumbledore didn't care about the angry Fudge, and said calmly, "Of course, fortunately, it doesn't take long for us to break through each other. Lie."

Dumbledore did not wait for Fudge to speak, and continued: "By the way, I almost forgot. I was originally here to discuss the Triwizard Tournament with you. There is a problem with the two leaders of the Ministry of Magic. You Who are you going to be responsible for?"

"Then suspend the Triwizard Tournament, this incident itself is very suspicious And you don't mean that Potter's becoming a Warrior is a conspiracy in itself?" Fudge said impatiently.

"Unfortunately, after the Triwizard Tournament started, we couldn't stop it, because the Warriors have signed a contract with the Goblet of Fire, and breach of contract requires a high price." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows slightly, "I thought you know."

"There are too many annoying facts lately." Fudge said depressed: "There is a lack of referees in the Triwizard Tournament, right? Then I will be the referee. As for the other person, let Amelia Burns act as the referee. Go to the referee, I think she wouldn’t mind taking a few hours out to watch a great game."

Fudge couldn’t help it. Now the Ministry of Magic is in a mess. Since Rita Skeeter stabbed Ludo Bagman, more and more victims have come out to speak out, and finally a debt collection group emerged. As a result, Ludo · Bagman does not know where he went now, his position is temporarily vacant, and he has not yet found a suitable successor.

As for the death of Barty Crouch, the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department was also in a mess. They began to re-examine the orders Crouch gave Percy Weasley during his lifetime. Moreover, the next director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department was also not selected. Many people were staring at that position.
