Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 205 Fudge's Words

What happens when a person doesn't get feedback?
Answer: shaking hands.

The Aoruo were silent, watching the tall and thin young wizard opposite the golden magic circle conjure up three boats, and then sailed away on the waves, but none of them had the courage to cast even a single spell. .After the group of guys disappeared, I felt that my body was almost soaked in cold sweat.

"What should we do, Director Scrimgeour?" An Aurora asked aloud after seeing the golden magic circle disappear, but he didn't realize that his voice was trembling.

"What, what to do! Damn it! Go back!" Scrimgeour became angry inexplicably, swearing at his head and face, and then called everyone to leave.Before leaving, he looked at the group of dementors gathered in the sky in the distance, feeling restless again.

Such a big event in Azkaban cannot be concealed, and Scrimgeour is well aware of this.But he will not be responsible for this matter. According to the procedure, he did not make any mistakes at all, but he did not expect the enemy to be too cruel and powerful.

Back at the Ministry of Magic, Scrimgeour sent the Aurors away, went directly to Fudge's office, and told him everything that had happened in Azkaban.Hearing this, Fudge was very angry, he slapped the table vigorously, but muttered something in his mouth, it was nothing good after all.

"What are we going to do, Minister?" Percy, who was an assistant to the Minister, looked even more flustered than Fudge. As soon as Scrimgeour finished speaking, he asked aloud.

"How to do it? You asked me what to do?" Fudge casually picked up a book on the table, and threw it at Percy fiercely. Percy's reaction was quick, and he tilted his head to avoid it.The book slammed straight into the wall, hitting a lamp as it fell.

After smashing something, Fudge vented his anger a little.He slumped on a chair with the table propped up, stroked two handfuls of hair, and his mind was spinning rapidly.

"We can't hide the past, but we choose how to tell the public." Fudge had a plan, waved his hand at Percy, and said, "Percy, you go to contact the reporters and say that I'm going to hold a press conference... Also, find the photos of the group of escaped guys, and give them to the group of blood-sucking guys..."

"Is there a list for the escape, Scrimgeour?"

"Already have." Scrimgeour nodded back.

"Very good!" Fudge slapped his chin, pointed at Percy and said, "Just find the photos of those people and give them to the reporters after the press conference."

After a pause, I suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "You just said that the leader is Ayton? Amy, a Hogwarts student who defected at the Triwizard Tournament?"

"Ike, Mr. Minister." Percy reminded from the side.

"Yes, Ike, that's him! Tell the reporter and put his picture in the most obvious place!" Fudge suddenly looked a little excited, he stood up, took two steps in the office, and said as he walked, "A self-willed A fallen genius wizard, because of the poor teaching at Hogwarts, he chose to throw himself into darkness..."

"He is very ambitious... yes, he is ambitious, so in order to achieve his ulterior and evil purpose, he led dark wizards and evil werewolves to attack Azkaban and rescue the imprisoned Death Eaters..."

"Then...let me think..."

"The heroic Aurors from the Ministry of Magic rushed to the scene as soon as possible to prevent the gaffe from spreading further?" Fudge suddenly applauded himself, "That's it! That's right!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Scrimgeour, his eyes became sharper: "That's how things are, Scrimgeour."

"That's right, it's exactly as the minister said." Scrimgeour nodded solemnly with a serious expression.

"That's no problem!" Fudge's mood became better, and he shouted at Percy again, "What are you still doing here? Go and find those reporters, I still have a press conference..."

The next morning, when the owl delivered the new issue of the Daily Prophet to the subscribers, there was an uproar in the wizarding world.It is no exaggeration to say that compared with this incident, Sirius' jailbreak last year was nothing at all.

"My God! Is this true!"

"Did he really do that?"

There was an uproar at the long table of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin, and everyone was talking loudly.In contrast, Ravenclaw's long table was dead silent.Some freshmen who have just studied in the first half of the year still don't understand, and they are stopped by senior seniors just as they are about to speak.

"That person...is taboo now, understand? Go back to the common room if you have anything to say."

The little wizard nodded ignorantly, no matter how ignorant they were, they could see that the faces of the seniors and sisters were very ugly.

Breakfast was destined not to be enjoyed well. It didn't take long for Ravenclaw's long table to be deserted, and the eaglets left directly.This scene did not attract the attention of people from other colleges, or they noticed it but ignored it.

Those who are sensible think that now is the time when others are suffering, so they should not make things worse; those who want to make trouble feel that it is a waste to play such a fun thing now, and there will be a long time to come, and there will be more opportunities.But in general, people who are purely discussing matters still stand in the vast majority.

Like Harry and Ron.

Harry, who had already learned Occlumency with Snape, was still in its infancy, and Snape could still wantonly invade his brain and peek into those unbearable memories in his mind.But at the same time, he can still see through the snake's perspective from time to time, just like last night, he saw Voldemort laughing and patting Ike's shoulder happily.

Originally, Harry didn't know why this scene happened, but now he knew it after reading the newspaper, and obviously, what the newspaper said was not true.

Harry had no intention of telling the truth, knowing full well that no one would believe what he said.Before Ike's incident, he and Dumbledore were the ones who wrote the most in the newspapers. He was portrayed as a villain who lied in order to get more attention, and the latter was simply an old fool.

"The Ministry of Magic is clearly trying to hide the truth. What new Dark Lord? Voldemort is still alive!" Ron whispered.

"No one believes what we say, they all think I'm a liar." Harry replied, inadvertently glanced at Hermione who was sitting opposite, and was stunned for a moment.

After poking Ron who was still muttering, he pouted in Hermione's direction, and the two of them stopped, feeling a little weird in their hearts.From the beginning of the summer vacation until now, they have tried their best to avoid mentioning Ike's name in front of Hermione. It was mentioned by accident a few times, and it was obvious that Hermione was trying to restrain her emotions.

But now, even the dull ones could see that Hermione's reaction was very abnormal.

She is so peaceful!
The eyes are empty, as if the soul is gone.That feeling was inexplicably familiar to Harry, and it took him a long time to realize it.

Hermione's current state is almost exactly the same as Snape's!
