Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying
Chapter 315: Fudge is speechless
Fudge is not very good in other aspects, but he has a very keen sense of power.
He immediately realized that if Umbridge represented the Ministry of Magic and appeared in the mirror, then there was a high probability that she would have an impact on Fudge's status.
In the past, during the election of the Minister of Magic, one could only promote one's image and ideas in newspapers, but there are moving images and passionate voices in the mirror, which are much more infectious than the dry words in newspapers.
In particular, no matter how close and trusting the relationship with Umbridge seemed, Fudge knew in his heart that Umbridge was a monster of power and desire, ambitious and extremely cold-blooded.
If given the opportunity to kick Fudge away and ascend to the position of Minister herself, Umbridge would never hesitate.
——Umbridge must not be allowed to appear in the camera!
Fudge made up his mind almost immediately.
No...it's not just Umbridge...
Including Scrimgeour, Crouch, Bones...anyone who would pose a threat to his status is not allowed to accept an exclusive interview with Aslan's Magic Workshop or speak in front of the camera.
The only one who can be seen by all the wizards in Britain is Fudge...or those young interns with little status!
When Vader asked Umbridge again about her preferences and expressed the hope that reporters could film Umbridge getting along with cats, Fudge finally couldn't help but refute.
"No, Umbridge doesn't like live cats!"
He said with a straight face and displeasure: "She thinks real cats are dirty and troublesome, so she just likes cat decorations!"
"Well..."
Wade hesitated and said, "How do you know she really doesn't like it? Or maybe she just thinks about other colleagues in the department and wants to prevent lively cats from interfering with their work, so she just carries the cat as a decoration?"
"I don't think Umbridge has ever said in public that she hates live cats?"
Although he didn't say it explicitly, there was a hint of suspicion in his attitude——
As a minister, are you deliberately discrediting and suppressing your subordinates? Are you unwilling to let Umbridge come forward because you are obsessed with your official position?
For the first time, Fudge felt that it was difficult to tell the truth. He was clearly telling the truth, but was not believed at all.
In particular, the one who doubted him was Vader, whom he treated enthusiastically, which even made the minister feel a little aggrieved.
He said angrily: "I have been working with Umbridge for more than ten years! Don't I know her better than you? Of course I am sure that she does not keep cats! If you have heard her planning how to treat Muggles and Squibs after drinking, You know she has nothing to do with kindness!"
What about "becoming the next Millicent Bagnall"!
Millicent Bagnor was Fudge's previous Minister of Magic. During her tenure, the wizarding war caused by Voldemort ended (although this was not due to Bagnor), and she gained a high reputation.
Fudge hated it when people criticized him and compared him to Millicent Bagnall.
"Really……"
Wade said doubtfully, and his protracted tone made Minister Fudge feel depressed again.
Kingsley looked at Vader in surprise.
If he hadn't watched Wade enter the door with his own eyes, he would have almost thought that the child had been in the room before.
Fudge may not realize it - but is Vader doubting him now any different than he doubted Sirius before?
Even the reasons are so similar!
Kingsley looked at Harry, who had round green eyes, and then at Lupin, who was holding back his laughter, to confirm that this was not his imagination.
But Fudge, who was a bit single-minded, didn't realize this. He said in a rigid official accent:
"Whether the Ministry of Magic should arrange for Deputy Minister Umbridge to carry out publicity, this still needs to be studied-"
"Well... in order to avoid leaking secrets... causing public controversy or... affecting the image of the Ministry of Magic in the minds of the public, this kind of matter needs to be discussed carefully in the Ministry. It is impossible to interview whoever you want..."
"Even though I am the Minister of Magic, I can only decide my own schedule..."
Fudge said in a stiff tone, emphasizing the word "deputy minister" very hard, implying that Wade could interview him as the minister.
But the boy in front of him was too young. He didn't seem to understand Fudge's subtext at all, and he had no intention of pleasing the minister. He just nodded in disappointment and said:
"Oh... ok... Then when Ms. Umbridge can be interviewed, we will make arrangements..."
"Very good... very good... I hope there will be a day..."
Fudge gritted his teeth and turned around to leave angrily.
——That day will never come again!
——Enact laws as soon as you get back! Ministry of Magic department heads and above are not allowed to be interviewed privately by Aslan's Magic Workshop! Except for the minister!
The Aurors left with a roar again, and Kingsley Shacklebolt stayed at the end, looking at Lupine and saying:
"Although I am generally sure, I still have to ask - does Sirius Black have anything to do with the Wiccan Party or Gellert Grindelwald?"
Lu Ping showed a somewhat deliberately puzzled expression and said, "Why do you think so? Of course they have nothing to do with each other."
Kingsley nodded and smiled at Vader and Harry again:
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Potter, Mr. Gray. May joy and happiness always be with you."
"Uh...thank you?"
Harry said uncertainly, in his kind but slightly scary smile.
Kingsley seemed to smile with satisfaction, opened the door and left as well.
Harry had no good feelings towards anyone who wanted to send Sirius to prison. After Kingsley left, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Remus, is he threatening us?"
Lupin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I think he is very sincere - Wade, if you really want to cooperate with Ms. Umbridge, it's better to find her in person. Minister Fudge may become an obstacle."
"Yes, he always speaks ill of her even though she is his subordinate - Ms. Umbridge is really not easy."
Harry sighed and said, sympathizing with the excellent lady who was slandered by his boss.
Wade slowly opened his eyes, turned his head, and looked at the two in shock.
"What's wrong? Did I say it wrong?"
Lupin asked puzzledly, and after recalling it, he felt that he could indeed feel Fudge's disgust for Umbridge.
"Don't make me explain."
Wade fell on the sofa, raised his hand to call for a glass of water, and after drinking it, he sighed and said, "I just finished talking for the whole day."
There was another knock on the door, and then a tall and thin figure pushed the door open.
"It seems that I am late--"
Dumbledore looked at the expressions of several people and smiled: "-but the result seems to be good?"
