Chapter 239 The Last Scene of the Drama

The atmosphere on the table suddenly froze.

After another glass of red currant rum, Fudge was visibly drunk, but his eyes were still clear.

Sirius legend?
Could it be the legend of Sirius he thought?
"I said, you're going to be in this—"

"The story of Sirius, or the story of Black, is fine with me."

"Yeah, Sirius. How much are you going to add to him?"

Facing Fudge's question, Toby said in a natural tone: "Of course it is all of them. Since the names are all called Sirius Biography, there must be no reason not to tell the story clearly - we can start from the entrance, no I know if you know, Sirius is the only known member of the Black family who has been sorted into Gryffindor College in the past hundred years, which is rare enough - if you don't believe me, you can ask Lupine He is a good friend and knows everything about him very well.”

Lupine nodded silently, Snape snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more.

What Toby said was right, Sirius was definitely a wonderful work of the Black family.It was fine that he was not assigned to Slytherin House according to the convention, but he could still be a student of Gryffindor—these two houses have always had a strong competitive relationship, which has been a tradition since ancient times.

At least from this point of view, he rebelled against his family fiercely.

Regarding the drama, even if Toby didn't announce it with much fanfare, Lupine and Snape could still get part of the news from other people.Now that rehearsals have begun, it is not difficult to know this information.

Lupine didn't expect Toby to do this. He knew a lot of grievances between Sirius and Toby. It was an important turning point to start with Slytherin - so, in a way, Sirius' rebellion against Slytherin House was regarded by Toby as his betrayal of himself.

It is betrayal.

At that time, little Toby thought that he was the most decent Slytherin, and sooner or later he would achieve greater achievements than Slytherin himself, and vaguely occupied the later Slytherin House with a master mentality.

As a result, no one expected that such a restless guy as Sirius would appear in Hogwarts.

In addition, Snape, Sirius and James have always been at odds, so, back and forth, the two sides have accumulated a lot of conflicts, and in the end it is difficult to tell what is going on-everyone If you want to seize the opportunity to tease each other severely, it doesn't matter if you kill a life.

Toby did so, and he was sure Snape must have thought so too.Otherwise, why would Snape invent a spell like Shen Feng Wu Ying that was designed to deal with flesh and blood, and would leave scars that would never heal, just to teach those two guys a lesson.

Well, Toby naturally excludes himself from the reason why Shenfeng Wuying was invented.In the end, Toby still suffered a lot because of this spell—it’s hard to say whether the reason for Snape’s attack when he was in the carriage just now had something to do with Toby’s arrangement of such a drama—it sounds like he misses Sirius, how could he With such a reputation?It should be trampled underfoot so hard that it won't be able to turn over until it dies.

There was a long silence at the table, and since Toby's answer, Fudge and Scrimgeour looked at each other, and then said nothing.

The reactions of the three people on the opposite side made Fudge unable to figure out what was going on for a while—he was not surprised that Haimer would find a helper, but the wonderful appearance just now was enough to shock people. Not to mention that among the two, Lupine was more likely to come under threat. As for Snape - no need to look, this guy must be Highmore's enemy.

But Fudge's psychological preparation in advance was to find more black devils, at least at the level of Death Eaters.As a result, the reality was different from what he had imagined, a very big difference.

At this time, Scrimgeour suddenly spoke, his brows were frowned tightly: "If I heard correctly, you are planning to re-enact the experience of Sirius being wronged and imprisoned? I want to tell you Yes, it was a time when even the Aurors were free to use the Unforgivable Curse, and it was tougher than you can imagine—"

"Yes, I know very well." Toby interrupted with a wave of his hand. "I also know that this is not good for the Ministry of Magic, so are there any other questions?"

Scrimgeour was dissatisfied with Toby's reaction, but he didn't ask any more questions, leaving the most important questions to Fudge.

"Are you going to mention other people in this play?" Fudge said pointedly, he couldn't care less now, and suddenly realized that the carriage that had just been blown up might be a warning.

If Toby Highmore can blow up that carriage, does that mean he can easily blow up this bar too?

"Don't forget the agreement between us." Fudge continued to remind: "And don't forget why we held this celebration-it must be revealed to the outside world that the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts have reunited news, or we'll all be in big trouble."

His eyes were red when he said these words. It was obvious that he hadn't slept well for a long time, and it was difficult to sleep well. There are many aspects to clearing up the suspicion of collusion with Grindelwald. Difficulties to deal with.

The International Confederation of Wizards had grown increasingly dissatisfied with his behaviour.

"Yes, I also know the purpose of the celebration, Minister." Toby said in a slow tone, causing Fudge's brows to twitch again, and he gradually calmed down after confirming that the nearby Aurors hadn't gone far.

"Then why do you insist on arranging the legend of Sirius?" He asked angrily.

"Because there won't be any wizards in this drama." Toby still said in that casual tone: "It's magical animals. To be precise, they are the pets of Hogwarts school and professors."

The expression on Fudge's face was a bit dazed, but Scrimgeour was the first to come to his senses. He investigated Toby very clearly and knew what he had done recently.

"Anti-demon glasses?" He asked, "Are you trying to sell your own products?"

"Wrong." Toby said, shaking a finger left and right: "It's not my product, but Hogwarts's—forget it, let's say the Dark Devil Foundation."

The corners of Fudge's mouth twitched. He really didn't want to hear the name "Black Devil", even if it had a foundation in its name.

Toby ignored his expression and continued: "This is just a simple drama, it won't be complicated, even if you want it to be complicated, it's hard to make it, the students' pets can't understand human language - but if they can listen It would be worse if I knew better, and I don't want to find a second Peter Pettigrew."

Fudge listened to Toby's sarcasm, and his expression became a little ugly.But what does it matter to him?That was a problem left by the previous minister, and it was not caused by him.

"So—" Toby continued, "If it wasn't for such a name, probably not many people would understand that this is the life of acting Sirius Black."

Fudge was gradually reassuring, but he still had one most important question to ask.

"Who's behind the scenes?" He asked, "Who are you going to think is behind the scenes?"

He was so close to asking directly whether to choose Voldemort or Grindelwald.

This is also the main reason for the recent troubles. If it weren't for being so entangled in the handling of Gellert Grindelwald, and Dumbledore was still holding on to the issue of dementors, there would be so many things.

"The man behind the scenes will not be a person, but a symbol."

Toby stared closely at Fudge and said, "Any wizard may become this symbol, minister, so we must be careful and cautious, and we must not confuse the enemy with the friend, otherwise it will be difficult for anyone."

Fudge heard what Toby meant, and it was obviously Grindelwald again—Toby was warning himself not to have any contact with Grindelwald.

"I hope you can guarantee that too."

Fudge said that he was not annoyed by Toby's threat, he really thought so-if it weren't for the recent tension between Dumbledore and Fudge, Fudge would have brought the headmaster along with him-he wouldn't Hopefully, there will suddenly be an enemy like Toby Highmore.According to the collected clues and evidence, this person can always be involved in many families with a long history, long enough to have a lot of influence.

Toby frowned and stared at Fudge, thinking that Fudge had not yet grasped his intentions.

Kingsley of course!What are you keeping him for?Waiting to rescue Grindelwald again?

Do I have to do it myself?

Well, it seems that it is not impossible, as long as the celebration is over - no, we can't wait that long, it is best to control Kingsley before that, and force him to ask difficult questions about the magic ball.

As for the headmaster - although Dumbledore had already promised to go to Nurmengard, it was treated as a second-hand preparation.

There is never too much preparation, and the more the better.

"Oh, yes, one more thing."

Just as Fudge was about to leave, he suddenly heard Toby speak again. He really felt that he shouldn't have drunk the rest of the red currant rum, otherwise he would have left the bar long ago.

"What's the matter?" Fudge asked, "If it's a difficult question for the Ministry of Magic, please forgive me for not agreeing, and you can't add any more conditions."

"No, no, no." Toby said, shaking his fingers, "Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble for you, but to help you solve it."

"You mean surrender yourself?" Scrimgeour sneered.

Toby said disdainfully: "Surrender yourself? Do you think that dementors alone can control me? Or do you think Azkaban is too strong? Think you can trap everyone? How was Sirius rescued?"

The answer is of course that the culprit is right in front of Scrimgeour, but unfortunately this has become a mystery, and the closest guess is that Black is an Animagus that has never been registered, which happens to be the weakness of dementors , they cannot sensitively sense the emotional changes of animals.

Seeing that Scrimgeour would continue to argue, Fudge said impatiently: "Tell me what's the matter? I have to attend a meeting later, and I don't have that much time."

"Sirius Black's body," said Toby, "then it should be in the Ministry of Magic, am I right? How long do you want to wait, Pettigrew and Sirius, you have to choose one, right? Otherwise It’s hard to change the atmosphere outside.”

Fudge was obviously moved, and the handling of Pettigrew was very tricky. It involved the International Court of Justice and the International Council of Wizards, neither of which was easy to deal with.

But Sirius was different. He was dead now, and there was only one body left, which would be buried sooner or later.

"Buried with his parents?" asked Fudge.

"No." Toby shook his head and said, "How can that work, it's not attractive at all-don't get excited, Remus, I think people like Sirius would want to show off even at his own funeral of."

"You're talking about James," Lupine corrected. "The showman is James."

"Of course." Snape was no longer silent, he said with twisted corners of his mouth, "I'll never find anyone as pushy as him, like a clown—"

Seeing that there seemed to be another quarrel, Fudge quickly mediated: "Stop, stop, the meeting I said is true. Now there are only 5 minutes left, and it will be too late."

"It doesn't take 5 minutes." Toby raised a finger and said: "Less than 1 minute is enough-I plan to arrange Sirius' body in the last scene of Sirius, which not only symbolizes the end of the drama, but also marks the end of his life." The end of life—a very good idea, what do you think? Also, have you protected Sirius’ body? Don’t make the scene too ugly, even if you don’t need students to play, you can scare cats and dogs. not good."

"Where did you get the dog?" Scrimgeour asked warily, "I don't remember that students in the school allowed dogs to be pets. Is this your and Dumbledore's secret weapon?"

"Ha!" Toby laughed loudly: "Weapons? You really have yours. You just keep an eye on the pets in the school, and you waste an afternoon here and afternoon tea. Are you free, Director Scrimgeour? "

"Enough, enough, enough." Fudge yelled, "It's up to you, this method may make those stubborn guys change their minds—I'll have Black's body sent to the school after a while —do you have a place of acceptance? I don't know if there is a mortuary in the castle."

"It's very simple." Toby said with satisfaction: "It's too late to build one temporarily."

Lupine was already in grief.

Snape squinted at Toby, he just felt that the more he heard it, the more outrageous it was - want Sirius' body?

Drama is fine, but this kind of thing Toby can never do.

At the same time, on the other side, unlike Toby who successfully got the skeleton back, Al was in trouble, which seemed to him to be a huge trouble.

Pig's Head Bar, it stood on the dirty bar counter, slapped the table vigorously, and barked wildly.

Ginny translated carefully from the side: "Even if you don't give spirits, you can still have a glass of cold beer, right? That's not how business is done."

Aberforth wiped the glass with a rag to make it more and more dirty, and then slapped it on the table, causing Al to shrink back in fright, and Ginny hurriedly protected him.

"Don't even think about buying a glass of wine from me." He said bluntly, "Now, you all get out of here quickly, this is not the place for you to come, get out quickly!"
