Chapter 310 The News Media Are Carnivaling Collectively

In the next few days, although Pettigrew still disappeared, the legends about him in the magic world were very popular, and there were new tricks almost every day.

'Lucius Malfoy and Pettigrew Peter had a secret meeting late at night in a Muggle bar, and the conversation involved the mysterious man many times, and even the mysterious man's wand was seen again. '

The paparazzi of the "Daily Prophet" took a total of more than [-] photos of this crucial hotspot. Even if they published two photos in each morning and evening newspaper every day, the completely different news headlines could fill an entire page. Week.

Most of these news have also been polished by Rita Skeeter. She even re-wrote the "Lucius Malfoy asked the secret meeting with the Ministry of Magic" in the last two series of reports. Minister Cornelius Fudge is preparing to use power and money transactions to get rid of his charges! ' and 'Lucius Malfoy's insistence that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry harbors Peter Pettigrew, accusation or slander? ', these two super big news full of hot spots!

In addition to the "Daily Prophet", the "Wizard Weekly", which has always only focused on the witch market, unexpectedly published these current affairs content about Pettigrew for the first time this time, which shows that the incident has spread widely.

Oh, by the way, also participated in this news feast, and the magazine that Luna's father is the editor-in-chief of, "The Quibbler".

Compared to the popularity of the previous two publications, "The Quibbler" is undoubtedly a fairly niche magazine. In the past, only those "really smart" wizards in Luna's mouth would like to subscribe.

But this time, the magazine unexpectedly published top-secret news that even Rita Skeeter couldn't grab!

In recent issues, The Quibbler has published a series of articles focusing on the previous battle in the Hogwarts Great Hall and how the Ministry of Magic shamelessly captured Harry and the fighting professor The fruit of their victory, and not only the pictures and the truth, but also the live recording at that time~

After that, "The Quibbler" even published photos of Lucius Malfoy appearing in the Leaky Cauldron, as well as photos of talking with Pettigrew in the bar, as well as the matching and most important conversation recordings !

Contrary to the news published by the "Daily Prophet", Lucius Malfoy once explicitly expressed his support for Pettigrew in the audio article published by "The Quibbler".

The sentence 'Peter, how should I help you' can be said to completely express Lucius' position.

Especially with the side profile photo of him smiling and holding the mysterious man's wand in his hand, this is definitely the meaning of reaching a consensus with Pettigrew Peter~

Anyway, in the hearts of the ever-expanding readership of "The Quibbler", Lucius Malfoy's status as a Death Eater has already been confirmed, and he is already a well-documented criminal who wants to support the restoration of the Dark Lord.

Thanks to these breaking news, the sales volume of the recent issues of "The Quibbler" has naturally increased. It's overflowing.

Of course, all of this was written by Harry. All the revelations published in "The Quibbler" were provided by him, and some of them were written by Harry himself based on the actual conversations he had with Lucius!

Luna communicated with her father a long time ago, saying that she would post an article to help Harry fight the public opinion war. As a father, Xenophilius naturally loves his daughter very much, so even though he and Harry have never met , but still chose to fully support.

At this juncture, Harry was naturally very grateful to Luna's father for daring to take the initiative to release the news.

"The Quibbler" was no different than those other giant publications. If one of them mishandled this matter, Xenophilius would probably be implicated, but he still reached out to help.

All in all, when the major news media were busy reporting the progress of the incident, and the Ministry of Magic had to go all out to deal with a series of scandals, Harry, who secretly planned all this, had already quietly flown back to Hoag Watts, hidden merit and fame~

However, the eye of the wind left behind by him is still gradually rotating and expanding, and finally forms a storm that sweeps the entire British magic world!

...

At the lowest level of the British Ministry of Magic, in a small secret interrogation room, Lucius Malfoy and Cornelius Fudge were sitting opposite each other, and the atmosphere between the two seemed rather dignified.

Lucius wanted to meet with Fudge, and considering that the other party was his benefactor, Fudge also chose to agree because of his affection; moreover, as the Minister of Magic, he wanted to have a private conversation with Lucius, who was currently only suspected. It's not even a violation of the rules.

But Lucius' request made Fudge feel embarrassed.

"Fudge, you have to help me!"

Looking at Lucius with wide eyes, Fudge really wanted to ask...

How can I help?

All kinds of news outside are making a fuss, and you were arrested by Mad-Eye himself. Now that you have stolen the money, if I really openly acted for you, wouldn’t it be that I am also in trouble with you? ?

"Fudge, I have to remind you... If I take the initiative to confess to the Wizengamot, I will not only talk about Pettigrew!" Seeing that the other party was in hesitation, Lucius simply chose to tear his face, " I think... a group of people headed by Amelia Bones must be very curious, why do you have a large amount of gold in your hand?"

"This... Malfoy, you can't say that." Fudge became extremely flustered when he heard the words, "We are friends, and you also said... those things are just gifts between friends..."

Amelia Bones is the Director of the Law Enforcement Department at that time, and a wizard who has a considerable say in the Ministry of Magic besides Fudge.

Therefore, Fudge knew very well that if the other party found out about his acceptance of bribes, he might really end his job as a minister.

"Fudge, if you have always been my friend, of course the gold will only be a gift between friends." Seeing Fudge's cowardly look, Lucius continued to be aggressive, "But if you don't treat me as a My friend, then I can only go and tell the truth to the rest of the Ministry of Magic."

Hearing Lucius' blatant threat, Fudge's face became more fearful, and he mumbled, "However, the situation outside is like this, and Dumbledore will never let go of the opportunity to suppress you... I will I wanted to help you, but I was powerless."

"No... as long as you are willing to help, we will succeed in the end." Lucius smiled confidently, "Fudge, we are friends on the same front. If you help me, you are helping yourself. Could it be that ...don't you want to have the entire Ministry of Magic in your hands?"

"The Ministry of Magic..."

Hearing Lucius' words, Fudge couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Chapter 310 The Rules of the Magic World Are Made by the Malfoy Family

In the dark and cramped interrogation room, Cornelius Fudge seemed to be thinking quietly, but his heart was already in turmoil.

Because just like Lucius said, although Fudge is the Minister of the Ministry of Magic in England, he is not the only one who has the final say on the entire Ministry of Magic.

His character is not as strong as the former Minister Millicent Bardenow, and the process of coming to power was quite criticized. Therefore, many important officials in the Ministry of Magic did not take him too seriously as a minister. Seriously.

Especially the Auror Office under the Law Enforcement Department. When Alastor Moody chose to come back, Fudge had completely lost the convenience of commanding the Auror Office by leapfrogging.

So, if we can take this opportunity to clean up the entire Ministry of Magic...

"Fudge, I really don't know why you are still hesitating?" Seeing that Fudge was in hesitation, Lucius hastily added another fire, "Think about your own situation, now except for some marginalized Aurors and Besides ordinary officials, is there anyone willing to obey your leadership? You managed to survive until Barty Crouch was transferred to the Department of Magical Cooperation, but the newly appointed Amelia Bones, you But it couldn’t be done either.”

"Oh, by the way, there is also the most important and hateful Albus Dumbledore. He is not only the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, but also the president of the International Federation of Wizards... As long as he does not lose power for a day, England Everyone in the magic world will still think that your ministerial position is just picking up garbage that Dumbledore doesn't want!"

"Enough!" As if Lucius had poked the sore spot, Fudge shouted angrily and rushed up.

However, Lucius didn't seem to notice the other party's anger at all, and still maintained a confident posture: "Fudge, I advise you to keep calm, and then think carefully... Pettigrew Peter, that mouse, why is he so angry? Want me to help him revive the mysterious man?"

"What do you mean?" Fudge heard the words, his mind moved slightly, and he sat back in the chair calmly.

He finally waited for the moment when Lucius Malfoy confessed to him!

Fudge may have a cowardly character, but since he can become a minister, it means that he will never be a complete idiot.

In fact, he's been evaluating the entire Malfoy family since the first day he took a bribe from Lucius.

Including in the conversation just now, the reason why Fudge retreated again and again was because he wanted to know what kind of power Lucius Malfoy and the family behind him possessed.

"My Malfoy family has been passed down in England for more than nine centuries. In addition to possessing inexhaustible wealth, it is also the place of common respect for all wizards who aspire to the glory of pure blood." Lucius proudly showed off to Fudge "It is precisely because of the power of the Malfoy family that Peter Pettigrew used such despicable tricks to plot against me. But Fudge, things always have two sides, and the power of the Malfoy family also has two sides." Can help you climb to a higher peak!"

"Are... are you telling the truth, my friend?" Fudge looked at Lucius with surprise on his face, "Are you really sure that you can help me... no, I mean, I can help you out of trouble ?”

"Of course we can, and I promise, this time is definitely a great opportunity. As long as we can succeed, there will be fewer unpopular guys like Dumbledore in the wizarding world." Lucius smiled and bewitched Fudge Said, "I don't know if you remember Norby Leach, the Mudblood-born Minister of Magic when my father was alive, he was as annoying as Dumbledore, so he quickly lost power and stepped down ..."

"I think it's time for you to recognize the facts now, Fudge... As long as you maintain a long-lasting friendship with the Malfoy family, you will always be a popular minister~"

"Oh... I think I understand, Lucius." After pondering for a while, Fudge suddenly smiled and stepped forward to hold Lucius' hand, "We've always been friends, haven't we? So like this I will never let this unfounded accusation take effect~”

After successfully extracting the energy of the Malfoy family from Lucius, Fudge decided to board the ship without any hesitation.

The Nobby Leach that Lucius just mentioned was the Minister of Magic who came to power in 1962 and was also the first Muggle-born minister in British history.

His appointment made history, and it also aroused strong dissatisfaction among many pure-blood wizards. Several of the oldest members of the Wizengamot even resigned from public office in protest of this shameful appointment.

But Nobby Leach's time in power was not long. In 1968, he was forced to resign because of a mysterious disease.

At that time, there was a rumor that Lucius' father, Abraxas Malfoy, had meddled in Leach's resignation... But now, from what Lucius said, it seems that Nobby Leach's resignation It is simply dominated by the Malfoy family!

But now, Fudge is very clear that his next choice will determine whether he will have the same fate as Nobby Leach back then.

So...becoming the person the Malfoy family likes can not only make the minister's position more stable for a long time, but also get a large sum of gold at the same time, so why not do it?

Conversely, those 'unlikable' people like Albus Dumbledore and Amelia Bones might as well take this opportunity to make them the next batch of Nobby Leach ok~

"In that case, I'll wait for the good news, Connelly."

After watching Fudge leave, Lucius took out a white handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands in disgust.

Huh... Ministry of Magic?

Since the establishment of the Ministry of Magic in the seventeenth century, no member of the Malfoy family has served as the Minister of Magic...

But most of the ministers are just dogs raised by the Malfoy family.

The family that Lucius Malfoy belongs to can even be traced back to the founding of Hogwarts, when the first ancestor who followed William the Conqueror into England, Armand Malfoy, also had a relationship with Sarah Chuck Slytherin as a friend!

What's more, the last Malfoy in the family named Lucius was once the queen of the golden age and the suitor of Elizabeth I, and after his pursuit was rejected, he gave the queen at that time "eternal life". Not married' curse.

But even so, the British royal family still dare not speak out, because they can't afford to provoke such a giant as the Malfoy family!

With a long heritage, amazing financial resources, and hiding behind every minister of the Ministry of Magic, this is the real strength of the Malfoy family!

So, Albus Dumbledore, who was humble and hypocritical, and Harry Potter, the half-breed bastard with a dirty surname, they will never know...

What a stupid extravagant hope to use the rules of the wizarding world to defeat the rule-makers of the Malfoy family! !

(ps There is an introduction to the history of the Malfoy family written by Rowling on Pottermore. Their family has indeed been passed down for more than ten centuries from France to England, but it seems that the genealogy has always been a single generation, eh...maybe Do too many bad things?)

Chapter 320 'Infiltrating' Hogwarts is Dangerous

In November, the rainy weather has been haunting the whole of Hogwarts. Even the long-awaited Quidditch match was seriously affected, and the first round of the match was hastily ended in the torrential rain.

Lupine also seemed to be affected by the weather. He missed a week of class because of illness, and then he was really weak for a long time after Halloween, and he looked sick all over. .

After he resumed class, some careful students noticed that he had lost a whole lot of weight, and the patched clothes on his body looked a little baggy now.

This inevitably made some students who were close to Lupine quite worried. For example, Hermione had been asking Lupine to take more rest, and even offered to take on the responsibility of teaching assistant instead of Harry, but Lupine declined in the end.

Lupine said that this is an old problem he has had for many years, and he has long been used to it, and as long as he eats more chocolate, he will soon return to normal.

And that's what he really planned. On a rare sunny day, Lupine took a trip to Hogsmeade village during the time when he was not in class, intending to replenish some of the chocolates that had been eaten up before.

The place he was going to was Honeydukes, a star shop in Hogsmeade village.

It is famous for its wide variety of magical candies, and even chocolate alone has hundreds of varieties, which can be said to be deeply loved by Hogwarts students and teachers.

Naturally, this place was also Lupine's favorite, ever since he was still in school here.

It's a pity that in the ten years after leaving school, Lupine could only occasionally buy some low-quality chocolate from outside because of his lack of cash.

So Lupine was very lucky that he was hired back to the school by Dumbledore.

Although the salary of being a professor is not high, it does make his pocket gradually more comfortable, and he can even come here from time to time to have fun, to have a look at all the hundreds of chocolates at will, and then choose a few for himself I like it and buy it~

And it was in Honeydukes that Lupine heard some news that concerned him very much.

"Please, boss, it's rare for me to come back, so you can tell me the news~"

At the counter of Honeydukes, a young and energetic witch was constantly begging the boss. Her mid-length hair the color of bubblegum powder made Lupine subconsciously glance twice.

From the other party's demeanor and tone, it can be seen that she is definitely very familiar with the boss here.

"It should be me asking you not to bother me again, Tonks." Honeydukes' boss begged helplessly, "How could I possibly remember you coming over to ask me so suddenly?"

"Oh, just help me think about it again~" Tonks couldn't help pestering, "There should be very few candies with a special taste like sour lollipops, except for the two treasures of the Weasley Brothers." Someone else bought it. Just help me remember, who has bought it this week?"

"Are you talking about sour lollipops? I seem to have a little impression." At this time, the proprietress of the candy store just came out of the cellar. She thought about it briefly and gave an inconclusive answer.

"I remember Miss Granger in the third year buying a lot of sour lollipops, but that didn't happen this week, it was before Halloween."

"Granger in the third grade? What kind of person is she? Does she have any specific characteristics?" Tonks' eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked excitedly.

"It's Miss Hermione Granger, she is very famous in school." The landlady explained, "She is the sister of the famous Harry Granger. It is said that when they entered the first grade, Harry Granger even set the Sorting Hat on fire in front of the whole school in order to get Miss Granger into Ravenclaw..."

"Wait...Harry Granger?" Tonks asked, raising his eyebrows. "You just said, is it Harry Potter who was adopted by a Muggle family? boy?"

"That's right, that's him." The candy shop owner nodded as a matter of course, "He is much more famous in school than Miss Granger, but it's a pity that he didn't come to Hogsmeade on the promised day. I was wondering if I could see him."

"Hermione Granger...Okay, I see, thank you~"

Tonks happily grabbed a handful of Blowing Super Bubblegum, put down the absolutely accurate coins, and ran away happily, full of regular customer demeanor.

"Check out." Seeing this, Lupine hurried to the counter, and before he even had time to choose the chocolate he chose, he bought it all at once and chased him out...

For the first time ever, he even forgot to ask the boss for change~

"It's gone... Uh, no, she's right there."

After leaving Honeydukes in a hurry, Lupine thought he had lost track of his target, but after a closer look, he found that the target was not far in front of him.

This witch seems to have changed her hair color and height. She now has pure black hair and looks shorter. She really doesn't look like a young woman who is idle in society.

But the problem is, you changed your hair and shortened your height, but you just didn't think of changing your clothes. Are you sure you're not taking the people around you for idiots?
