Chapter 982: fudge pill
At this moment, in the kitchen of No. 12 Grimmauld Place, Sirius is vividly telling everyone what happened in the Spanish International Wizarding Duel Competition a while ago.
Since he had previously told the story of the Death Eaters who tried to send someone to assassinate Albert, but was served in one pot, now every meal has become the happiest time for everyone, because Sirius always finds time to tell the unfinished story. The story goes on.
As unbelievable as it sounds, those are real things that happened, not stories that Sirius made up.
"In short, it was a very exciting and unforgettable duel." Sirius ignored Mrs. Weasley\'s complaining eyes, cleared his throat and continued: "At that time, Voldemort seemed to have used a compound potion, disguised as A dark wizard named Avger, this guy has used black magic to kill two opponents in the previous duel, and also sent other opponents to the hospital. He is an extremely cruel guy. I think Voldemort probably wants to use the identity of that guy. Do cover to murder Albert."
"After all, it\'s not a strange thing to kill other opponents in the next game in the form of the dark wizard Avger." Sirius\'s mouth rose slightly, "However, Voldemort\'s conspiracy was actually given a look by Albert. See through."
"See through at a glance?" Bill asked in surprise.
"Yes, as soon as Voldemort arrived in the players\' lounge, he let Albert see through it." Sirius nodded and said, "That\'s what Dumbledore said."
"How did he see through it?" Lupin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Even Dumbledore couldn\'t see through it. Maybe we can use his method in the future."
"I don\'t know, you have to ask him yourself." Sirius shook his head and said.
On the opposite side, Fred and George exchanged glances after hearing the words, obviously thinking of the reason, but neither of them planned to say it.
"I still can\'t believe that such an event would allow players to kill people." Hermione put down her spoon and couldn\'t help but say.
It\'s really hard to imagine that other players would be allowed to kill their opponents in an international dueling competition.
"Although the organizer does not allow the players to kill people, duels will inevitably lead to accidents, and there will be loopholes that can be drilled." Sirius suddenly showed a strange expression: "Also, Spain actually relies on this to make money, otherwise there is no Good-looking duels, why do their tickets sell for such high prices? Dark wizards participate in the competition, which is actually a highlight of the duel competition. People like to see someone defeating dark wizards and even killing them. Anyway, those guys should be damned? Of course, most At some point the referee will come forward to stop the senseless murder."
"By the way, I remember that you seemed to bet on Mr. Anderson to win." Lupin asked with a complicated expression.
"It\'s about 20,000 Galleons!" Sirius noticed other people\'s gazes and coughed softly: "Don\'t look at me like that, some of them belong to Anderson, and I remembered asking you to follow me too. Bet, you don\'t bet yourself."
"Twenty thousand Galleons!"
Ron was dumbfounded when he heard the numbers from Sirius.
"It always feels like that guy makes money as easy as drinking water."
Fred and George looked at each other and couldn\'t help showing a wry smile. Of course, they guessed what kind of prank it was.
It\'s all too familiar.
"Does this count as cheating?" Hermione asked with raised eyebrows.
"Definitely not, there are only a few people who dare to do this. After all, who dares to be sure that they will win the championship?" Sirius happily announced: "I plan to use several thousand Galleons as the funds for the activities of the Order of the Phoenix. ."
Since killing Peter Pettigrew and going to the graves of James and Lily to pay homage, Sirius\'s whole body has a new look. His purpose in life has also changed, which is to kill Voldemort, fulfill his responsibilities as godfather, and watch Harry grow up, get married and have children.
Everyone was shocked by Sirius\' generosity, a few thousand Galleons was not a small sum of money.
You must know that the Order of the Phoenix did not have any so-called activity funds at all.
"By the way, Remus, in the next edition of the "Defense Guide", we will upload these reports." Sirius thought for a while and said, "Everyone has the right to know the truth."
"If you put the truth on it, I\'m sure Fudge would be very unhappy," reminded Mr. Weasley.
"So the magazine also needs to think of a new name."
"Change your name?"
Everyone cast doubtful glances at Sirius.
"What does the new magazine have to do with us?" Sirius said rightfully. "Even if Fudge sees that he\'s mad, he can\'t do anything about us, because there\'s no evidence for that magazine. It\'s about us."
"I think Fudge probably doesn\'t need proof." Lupin looked strange, surprised by Sirius\' wit.
"Okay, children, it\'s time for you to go back to your room to rest."
After dinner, Mrs. Weasley started chasing people, because there was something to be discussed next that was not suitable for other people to hear.
Several children reluctantly left the kitchen, and Mrs. Weasley released a distraction spell at the entrance to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
"The Gowers were all acquitted. I heard that Malfoy was running around and donating a lot of money to St. Mungo\'s Hospital for the Injured." Mr. Weasley\'s face was a little gloomy, and his voice was lowered. Said: "Fudge thinks that they were only kidnapped by dark wizards during the international wizarding duel competition. They are not dark wizards at all."
"Is Fudge crazy? The evidence is solid, how dare he..." Bill\'s eyes widened, it was hard to imagine that Fudge would dare to do this.
"He\'s really crazy," Arthur sighed. "A lot of people think he\'s crazy. Not long ago, they tried to kick Dumbledore out of Wizengamore, and I\'ve heard that because of Fudge, Dumbledore also lost his position as president of the International Confederation of Magicians."
"I heard that they plan to take back the Merlin First Order Medal given to him by the Ministry of Magic." Arthur sighed, "If there is any news, it should be in the next few days."
"Fudge must have taken a bribe." Sirius tapped his fingers on the table and turned to Lupin. "We could list some of his crimes, you know, if the truth comes out...people will be surprised to find them. The Minister of Magic is actually a…”
"Fudge can\'t be a Death Eater," Lupin interrupted.
"I didn\'t say he was a Death Eater, I just wanted to list the **** he did one by one, so that everyone could keep their eyes open and see what their Minister of Magic did," Sirius said softly, but Very cold: "I think everyone\'s eyes are sharp. Whether Fudge is innocent or not, everyone must be able to see."
This move is actually very cruel.
Perhaps, one thing is separated and it is not conspicuous on weekdays, but once someone deliberately connects them and exposes them to everyone\'s eyes, and the environment of the Ministry of Magic is getting worse, it is difficult for them even if they don\'t want to make associations.
"You came up with it yourself?" Lupin felt that Sirius had really changed a lot.
"That\'s right!"
"If that\'s the case, I think the prophecy that Fudge will step down seems to be..." Bill said after mulling over his words, "it may come true."
"Did we do something wrong?" Sirius said suddenly, "Should some beasts escape?"
"I thought Goyle, Crabbe, Selwyn, and Avery would be punished when their Death Eater identities were revealed, but what happened? Except for Peter, who was killed by me, everyone else fled. It\'s been a while."
"You think we should kill them?" Lupin frowned, which was undoubtedly not a pleasant topic.
"No, I don\'t think it matters whether we kill them or not. We need to make them unable to become our enemies and deal with them harmlessly." Sirius shook his head and reminded: "Lock them up, or other... In short, let them not How can we continue to be a threat to us, otherwise Goyle, Crabbe, Selwyn and Avery will kill our companions one day, can we think that they died because of us?"
Everyone frowned, what Sirius said was undoubtedly a very likely thing to happen.
However, once the massacre is kicked off and both sides kill red eyes, the situation may get completely out of control.
"Are you going to bring this up at the next Society of the Phoenix meeting?" Mr. Weasley asked Sirius.
"No, I\'m going to discuss with Dumbledore privately, and don\'t tell Snape that that guy is unreliable," Sirius reminded.
"Come on Sirius, Snape still sent us a lot of reliable news." Lupin chose to believe Dumbledore.
"Snotling also gave some information about us to Voldemort, a double agent like him, who knows which side he belongs to?" Sirius raised his hand and interrupted: "Since I don\'t know, and I can\'t be sure, then Just don\'t believe it in the first place."
…
Fudge has been in a good mood in recent days. They not only succeeded in getting Dumbledore to lose his position as president of the International Federation of Magicians, but also kicked him out of the highest wizarding tribunal, Wizengamot. Order of Merlin, First Class, Fudge believes that not many people are willing to believe Dumbledore\'s words anymore.
The masses are blindly obedient, and they are seldom willing to think about the reasons, which also makes it not difficult to mislead them. With the bombardment of newspaper information one after another, uninformed wizards will be misled by the information in the newspapers, thinking that Dumbledore is true. The old man was confused.
"Then, it\'s how to deal with Harry Potter, find a way to shut him up and discredit him... Let people think he\'s a fool who likes delusions."
Fudge knew that soon no one would want to believe them, no one would believe Voldemort\'s resurrection, because they were equally unwilling to believe it themselves.
"Dolores, I need your help to pay attention to Harry Potter. If he has any illegal use of magic, let me know as soon as possible." Fudge said to Umbridge, which can actually be regarded as a hint. Fudge had been sitting in the position of Minister of Magic for several years, how could he possibly have no means.
"I will," said Umbridge.
"Very good, as long as that guy uses magic outside, I can make Dumbledore fire him."
"Minister, what about my appointment at Hogwarts, did Dumbledore agree?" Umbridge asked suddenly.
"He hasn\'t agreed, but if Dumbledore can\'t provide a faculty candidate, I will make you a professor at Hogwarts through Ministry of Magic law." Fudge said without hesitation: "I\'m afraid you have to go to Hogwarts at any time. Preparations for Gwartz to serve."
"What if he finds someone?" Umbridge felt that Fudge was unreliable.
"He couldn\'t find the right person!" Fudge said affirmatively.
"All right"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the minister\'s office.
"Come in," Fudge said to the wooden door.
"Minister, it\'s not good!" Percy walked into the minister\'s office panting.
"What\'s the matter, Weasley?" Fudge asked, frowning. He didn\'t like Weasley\'s rash look.
"Defense Guide, Sirius Black has released the latest issue of Defense Guide." Percy put the magazine in front of Fudge and quickly turned to a page.
"Bastard, how dare they!"
After Fudge took over the magazine, his face suddenly changed, his hands clenched fists on the table and he stood up straight, staring straight at the magazine in front of him, wishing he could tear it to shreds.
This issue of the magazine contains articles from the Spanish side of the International Wizarding Duel, and contrasts it with the attitude of the Ministry of Magic on the matter.
It\'s like putting Fudge on the fire.
"Immediately place a bounty on Sirius Black and Remus Lupin on the charge of disturbing social order." Fudge roared at Percy, and the spittle stars flew to Percy\'s face.
"I\'m afraid not." Percy said with a bitter face, cautiously reminding: "Although this magazine looks a lot like "Defense Guide", it is an imitation."
Percy pointed to the name of the magazine, not Defense Guide, but Defense Express.
"We don\'t have any proof that this is a newspaper printed by Sirius Black\'s magazine. Even if they catch Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, they won\'t admit that this matter has anything to do with him."
"What\'s your idea?" Fudge stared at Percy. "Tell me, what\'s your idea."
"We just have to figure out a way to turn this magazine into a joke," Percy suggested.
"Can\'t ban them?" Fudge was very dissatisfied with Percy\'s actions.
"The more it is banned, the more likely it will have the opposite effect. People will wonder what the news is in the magazine, why is the Ministry of Magic banning it?" Percy reminded.
"Enough, I don\'t want to hear you say this." Fudge said irritably, "I allow you to use all means to minimize the impact of this incident."
"I will," Percy said earnestly.
"As long as you can show your ability to do things, I will promote you as appropriate." Fudge drew a big cake for the other party.
No way, the Spanish Ministry of Magic has identified Gower and his group as Death Eaters, and Fudge thought they were just kidnapped and acquitted several of them.
Actually, it doesn\'t matter. Everyone is forgetful. As long as no one mentions it, it will pass by covering it up.
However, "Defense Express" brutally opened the scar and exposed the **** wound to everyone.
The four people who were thought to be innocent were actually suspected of being Death Eaters, and to make matters worse, there were photos attached to them.
The photo taken when the four were just "rescued".
It\'s not like being "saved".
It was almost as if he was telling other people that those four guys were Death Eaters, and he, Connelly Fudge, was related to Death Eaters.
This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed, even Fudge suspects that several of them are Death Eaters.
"Protest diplomatically to the Spanish Ministry of Magic," Fudge said suddenly.
"Are you taking action against Albert Anderson?" Percy asked tentatively.
"Not for now?" Fudge frowned and said, "That guy has just won the championship for the British wizarding world, and... there\'s no rush about it. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"
After the last experience, Fudge realized that there was also a group of supporters behind that guy. He attacked Dumbledore, and he had pushed many wizards to the opposite side. His political opponents even laughed at him recklessly. Fudge felt that it was time to continue. Provoking another group and pushing the neutrals to the opposite side is definitely not a good choice.
"Okay, I\'ll deal with it now!" Percy nodded slightly at Umbridge and left in a hurry.
"Minister, I\'ll go first!"
Umbridge looked at the annoyed Fudge, turned and left thoughtfully.
In fact, she was somewhat disdainful of those guys who only knew how to mumble over there all day, but didn\'t dare to take action.
"Someone has to act." Umbridge thought this was a good opportunity.
Fudge\'s words just now reminded Umbridge that Potter had violated the International Confederation of Magicians Confidentiality Act more than once before.
If he continues to violate secrecy laws, the Ministry of Magic will have reason to fire him.
It\'s not difficult to force Harry Potter to use magic.
Umbridge believes that as long as he has a decent face and doesn\'t get caught, Fudge certainly doesn\'t mind why the Dementors chase Harry Potter, but is happy to have the opportunity to fire Harry Potter.
