The two of them were separated by a long tunnel.

Madame Pomfrey reappeared at the right time and asked them to leave.

Dumbledore led Andy and Fudge out of the hospital ward and came to the corridor outside to introduce them to each other again.

Fudge shook hands with Andy perfunctorily, looked at Dumbledore anxiously, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?!"

Dumbledore suggested: "Why don't we move to my office? We can sit down and talk slowly."

Fudge said anxiously: "No! I don't want you to hide from me! I want to know the truth now!"

"Everything is messed up! First Barty disappeared, and now it involves an attack by a dark wizard! The victims are two warriors of the Triwizard Tournament!"

"Barty fell down again at this time, he is the director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department! The Bulgarian Ministry of Magic has sent a letter to ask, I don't know how to deal with it How to reply to those Bulgarians!"

"I had to let his personal assistant, that Weatherby, handle this matter..."

Andy corrected: "That's Weasley."

"Really? Whatever." Fudge chattered: "Albus, and you listen to what crazy talk you are talking about, telling me that you saw Peter Pettigrew."

"He has been dead for more than ten years!"

Dumbledore: "I'm afraid that's not the case, Cornelius, you will get evidence, because we have found Peter Pettigrew's body."

Fudge looked at Dumbledore in disbelief, as if he was looking at a madman, he still couldn't believe it all.

"Don't worry, Cornelius, you will see him soon." Dumbledore smiled indifferently, "As for the specific details, I'm afraid you have to ask Andy, I just arrived later."

Fudge had to look at Andy and squeezed out an ugly smile: "Hello, Andy, I have heard of your name for a long time."

"You have repelled the dark wizard more than once, right?"

One time was during the World Cup final, and the other time is now.

Fudge didn't want to mention these two things. Andy's success represented the failure of the Ministry of Magic.

Under his instructions, the Ministry of Magic was even less likely to use this incident as a positive example to promote.

Fudge: "What's going on, Andy? You're not going to tell me that you met Peter Pettigrew, are you?"

"Of course not." Andy said.

Fudge breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Dumbledore proudly.

Andy added: "Because I have never seen what Peter you are talking about looks like before, I have no way to judge his identity."

"What I saw was just a dark wizard who tried to control Mr. Crouch with the Imperius Curse. He tried to attack me and was accidentally killed by his companion's spell."

"During the battle, I did hear his companion call him Peter, but there are so many people named Peter, who knows?"

"He is short and fat, the flesh on his face is squeezed into a ball, he is slightly bald, looks like a mouse, and he is missing a finger on his right hand..."

As Andy spoke, Fudge's face became worse and worse, until Andy said that he was missing a finger, and he suddenly shouted.

"Stop!!"

Andy smiled and stopped, paused, and said: "I can continue to talk, I can also testify in court."

Fudge shouted: "This is impossible! You saw it wrong, you must have seen it wrong!"

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, thought about it, showed a flattering smile, and patted Andy on the shoulder: "Andy, you must be kidding me, right?"

Andy: "I just told the truth about what I saw."

Dumbledore: "Cornelly, come with me, go to my office, you will see it with your own eyes See the truth."

Fudge's face showed a look of fear: "No! I won't go! I don't want to see the so-called evidence you are pretending to be."

"This must be fake, Peter can't come back to life and then die again!"

Dumbledore advised: "Cornelly, sometimes you have to face reality."

Fudge: "The reality is that Peter is dead! How many times do you need me to say it!"

"That's enough! I shouldn't have come tonight!"

After that, Fudge left without saying anything, and his speed was not proportional to his size.

Dumbledore and Andy didn't chase him, but stood there tacitly, watching Fudge leave the corridor quietly.

After a long time, Dumbledore said: "Peter was Sirius back then.

"Sirius chased him to a street, and the two fought. Peter was killed, leaving only a finger, and the whole street was blown up." "Afterwards, Peter was awarded the Order of Merlin by the Ministry of Magic. Did he tell you these things before he died?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and looked at Andy, making up, you keep making up. Andy nodded calmly: "He gave a general idea, and he also showed that he was an illegal Animagus who could turn into a mouse." Anyway, Peter is the one to blame, so what? Dumbledore pretended to be surprised: "Then it explains why he was able to escape." Andy: "Maybe we should have kept the minister just now?" Dumbledore: "Everyone has something they care about. Cornelius is unwilling to face the facts, and I don't want to force him." "But if he does this, it will undoubtedly make our situation more difficult. ”

Andy asked: "Was Peter recognized as a hero and awarded the Order of Merlin badge during his tenure?"

Dumbledore shook his head: "No, but as the current Minister of Magic, he will definitely be affected."

Andy: "How many years is the term of the Minister of Magic?"

He really didn't know.

Dumbledore: "The longest is seven years. Cornelius has already started preparing for the next election. He hopes he can be re-elected. "

Andy nodded and understood.

From the conversation between Fudge and Dumbledore just now, it can be seen that Fudge's character is a bit weak. When he encounters a crisis, he will habitually seek the support of stronger people, such as Dumbledore, or Crouch, who is more capable than him.

Such a person can get the support of Dumbledore when he first takes office, and his nature must be good.

But as the saying goes, power is the best medicine, and Fudge has now become a standard politician.

Anyone who hinders him from continuing to be the Minister of Magic is his enemy.

Even Dumbledore is no exception.

If it were Fudge when he just took office, he would never dare to refuse Dumbledore like this.

Andy thought for a while and said, "I want to go to the Owl Shed."

Dumbledore said meaningfully: "Such a big thing has happened, and you should indeed send a letter to those who care about you."

Andy nodded: "That's right."

Dumbledore: "After sending the letter, come to my office to meet up. Peter's body has not been dealt with yet. ”

“The password to the principal’s office is: Extra Chocolate Frog.”

Andy couldn’t complain.

It is said that Dumbledore likes to use snacks as passwords, but this password is too unique.
