Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard
Chapter 392 Fudge
Kyle and Connor braved the wind and snow all the way to the Three Broomsticks pub.
Compared with the quiet Mrs. Puddifu's Teahouse, this place is much more crowded and noisy. The freshly made butterbeer is still steaming and looks smoky.
The bar owner is a beautiful-looking woman with graceful curves. At this time, she is greeting a group of noisy wizards in front of the bar.
"I'll get the drinks and you find a seat," Kyle said. "I hope we're not late. There's never enough seats here."
Connor walked to the back of the bar and found a small, empty table between the window and a Christmas tree, next to the fireplace.
After a while, Kyle came over, with a big tray floating behind him.
Two bottles of butterbeer, two plates of barbecue pies and a plate of freshly baked pine nut biscuits filled the table.
Kangna cut a piece of pie and put it in her mouth, took another sip of butterbeer, and suddenly showed a satisfied look on her face.
"I really still like this..." she said vaguely.
"Me too." Kyle ate a piece of pine nut cookie, then raised his glass and said, "Merry Christmas!"
"Merry Christmas!"
Their cups touched lightly.
Kyle took a big sip and seemed to feel warm all of a sudden.
This stuff is still good, but it would be better if I could drink something else.
Just now, Kyle wanted to order a glass of the signature drink here, Ogden Gold Mead, but Ms. Rosmerta said that it contained whiskey and could not be sold to the little wizard, so she only gave him butterbeer.
However, this may also be because there are more people now. In normal times, Ms. Rosmerta's standards are not so strict.
At least that's where Fred and George got their mead, which also contained whiskey.
After putting down the cup, Kyle looked around and found many familiar people here.
For example, behind the Christmas tree, there are three people, Harry, Hermione and Ron.
They were completely blocked by the Christmas tree, with Harry sitting at the very back. If Hermione hadn't taken the initiative to say hello, Kyle might not have been able to see them.
It seems that Fred and George have already given the map to Harry.
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly a gust of cold wind blew by, and the door of the Three Broomsticks opened.
Professors McGonagall and Flitwick walked into the bar in a gust of snow, followed by Hagrid and the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.
There was a clanging sound behind them, and Ron and Hermione seemed to push Harry under the table.
There were no empty tables in the bar. Some wizards immediately gave up their seats after recognizing Fudge, but Fudge just smiled and waved his hand, saying that he was just an ordinary guest today and let everyone do as he pleased.
At this time, not far behind Kyle, two wizards hurriedly drank the wine in their glasses, then stood up naturally, paid and left the bar.
Now there is room.
"How lucky you are. I thought I was going to drink standing up." Fudge walked over with a smile, greeting different people along the way.
He even recognized Kyle.
"It's great to see you here, little Kyle." He said familiarly: "Being the youngest recipient of the Merlin Order of Merlin badge is really an amazing achievement. I still remember the scene that day as if it happened yesterday. .”
"That's still fresh in my mind, Mr. Minister," Kyle said.
"It's a pity that I couldn't give you the award in person." Fudge said with a smile: "They invited me, but I think it is in the school after all, and it is better to leave it to Dumbledore, the principal."
Behind Fudge, Professor McGonagall pursed her lips.
If she remembered correctly, Fudge had no intention of not wanting to award the award at that time, but no one paid any attention to him.
Professor McGonagall always felt like she had seen this kind of excuse-making method before from a certain Defense Against the Dark Arts professor...
After a few people were seated, Ms. Rosmerta walked over from the bar and skillfully reported each of their preferences.
Professor McGonagall's violet water...Hagrid's four pints of mead...Professor Flitwick's syrupy soda...
"Then redcurrant rum is yours, Minister."
"Thank you, Rosmerta." Fudge said happily, "I'm so happy to see you again. Let's have one of yours, okay? Just come with us..."
Ms. Rosmerta happily agreed and went to the bar to get the drinks they needed.
Kyle originally wanted to hear what they were saying, but the surroundings were too noisy, and the tables on both sides were still some distance apart, so he couldn't hear clearly.
I could only hear it intermittently... Sirius Black... Dementors... despicable, dirty traitors... and the like.
This is all thanks to Hagrid.
He couldn't control his volume when he was angry, and almost half the people in the bar could hear what he said.
And the topics they talked about always made Hagrid angry.
Especially after drinking a few glasses of wine, he became angry more often.
"Are they talking about Sirius Black?" Connor asked quietly, obviously hearing what Hagrid said.
"Obviously." Kyle took a sip of butterbeer. "The only person who can make Fudge come all the way to Hogsmeade before Christmas is Black."
"But why..." Kangna was puzzled, "Aren't there already dementors here? Why did the minister come in person?"
"I just don't know." Kyle shook his head, "I think he probably came to see Professor Dumbledore, in order to allow the dementors to enter the castle and search...
Today is Hogsmeade visit day, and there are not many people in the castle. As long as the remaining students are protected together, the dementors can enter the castle with great arrogance. "
"I dare say the principal would not agree." Kang Na said without hesitation.
"Of course, otherwise Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick would not accompany our minister to the Three Broomsticks for drinking and entertainment."
Kyle spread his hands, "But this is just my guess. Maybe Fudge came here just to check if the dementors are lazy. This is also possible."
"Does the minister care about Blake so much?" Kangna was a little surprised. "I have heard many people say before that the minister prefers to attend various banquets."
"There's nothing we can do about it." Kyle ate a cookie.
“No one had ever escaped from Azkaban with such swagger before, and Sirius Black was the first.
The negative impact of this matter is too great. If it is not resolved as soon as possible, people will think that he is incompetent as a minister. "
…
"I met him. After Lily and James died, the boy's face was pale and his whole body was shaking..."
At this time, Hagrid's roar came again not far away.
"Do you know what I did? I even comforted the traitor! I comforted him!"
…
