Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

Dudley gave the briefest account, then said, "Your brother, daughter, and son have been waiting inside for a long time. I think they must be very anxious at this moment. If you have any questions, please go in and discuss them in detail."

Amelia then realized that they had arrived at a secluded manor without realizing it.

She looked at the name engraved on the manor in astonishment.

"Is this Carlo Manor?"

Chapter 393: Fudge and Percy x Maxima and Bole?

A day later, the news that "The Ministry of Magic was invaded by unknown persons, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement was attacked, and his life or death is unknown" appeared on the front page of the Daily Prophet.

The picture shows Amelia's house that was destroyed by the explosion.

This news shocked the entire English wizarding community.

How many years has it been since something like this happened?

"It must have been Dumbledore!"

Fudge threw the Daily Prophet aside and slammed his palm on the table.

The Ministry officials and Aurors standing before him looked at each other in bewilderment.

Few wizards would have thought Dumbledore would do such a crazy thing.

Even though they are Fudge's subordinates, they are not without basic logic.

This matter does not benefit Dumbledore at all, and his relationship with the Death Eaters is like fire and water. What is the purpose of his doing this? He is not really crazy!

If Dumbledore wasn't crazy, then it could only be...

Everyone's eyes unconsciously turned to the roaring figure.

Their Minister of Magic is most likely...crazy!

Rufus Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office, shook his head repeatedly. Amelia Bones, who was in trouble, was his direct superior.

Now that his immediate superior was not around, he could only stand here and follow Fudge's instructions.

Anyway, he didn't believe that Dumbledore led the Death Eaters to attack Amelia Bones. Just last year, he and Dumbledore captured a large number of Death Eaters.

It would be more credible to say that Fudge led a group of Death Eaters to attack Amelia, although he was not that brave.

“We must act now.”

Fudge kept mumbling to himself, and after a while he seemed to remember something. He looked around and shouted, "Percy, come to my office."

Everyone gave Percy a sympathetic look, this was the umpteenth time in recent times.

No one wants to face such a crazy Fudge.

Except Percy.

"Okay, Minister."

Percy still maintained his unique smile, and followed Fudge into the office amid the mocking, scoffing, sympathetic and pitying gazes of the crowd.

The door was gently closed and the crowd outside dispersed. They didn't want to stay here any longer. It would be bad if Fudge assigned them to do some impossible task.

For example, you go and capture Dumbledore, which is an epic mission.

"Did you see the look in their eyes?"

Fudge sat in the minister's chair, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

"They looked at me like I was an idiot. They thought I didn't know they were treating me like a lunatic!"

Fudge vented his emotions, and only when he was alone with his confidants would he reveal his truest side.

"Minister, please calm down and take care of yourself."

Percy poured Fudge a drink of black liquid, which worked similarly to coffee in the wizarding world and had a calming effect.

"We don't need to care about those ignorant fools. All we need to do is to achieve results."

Fudge drank the liquid in the cup, and his violently heaving chest gradually calmed down. "That's right, Percy. As long as we can find evidence, we can shut everyone up. I will definitely expose Dumbledore's true face in front of everyone."

Dumbledore has become Fudge's inner demon.

He seemed to have forgotten that when he first took office, he went to Dumbledore every day for help.

He even forgot that he got the position of Minister of Magic only because Dumbledore didn't want him.

Power can blind people's eyes.

"I have been trying to find out what the Death Eaters are planning. Once we get any information, we will seize the opportunity to strike."

Fudge was so excited that he almost cried out. He grabbed Percy's hands and said, "Percy, thanks to you, thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do. Thank you, thank you."

"Minister, I was just an unknown newcomer."

"It is because you recognized my ability that I was able to realize my ideals."

"If it weren't for you, I would probably still be doing odd jobs. I should be the one to say thank you."

"Percy!"

"minister!"

The two looked at each other "affectionately", and to outsiders it was a sincere picture of "a good horse and a good horse trainer".

In fact, Fudge was indeed full of gratitude. Although Percy looked at Fudge who was obsessed seriously, as if he wanted to imprint his appearance deeply in his mind, he secretly reminded himself in his heart to learn from past experiences and never lose himself in power like the man in front of him.

For a week, a whole week, the Aurors could not find Amelia's whereabouts, and even her brother Asgard could not be found.

It was as if several people had disappeared from the wizarding world.

How can a good thing happen to you if you are captured by those vicious dark wizards?

They all subconsciously associate them with the disaster.

Fudge classified it as a vicious attack and directly took over the management of the entire Department of Magical Law Enforcement, on the grounds that he wanted to shoulder the responsibilities of the Minister of Magic.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was trying to expand his influence and place his own people there.

As expected, within a few days, Umbridge, who was originally imprisoned in the Ministry of Magic cell, was released and took charge of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, which caused great dissatisfaction among several directors headed by Scrimgeour.

The director of the Office for the Prohibition of the Abuse of Magic even protested by resigning, but it didn't work at all. The deputy director Dormammu Jugson was directly promoted to a full-time employee and took over his job smoothly.

Pius Thicknesse took over the position of Director of the Wizengamot Coordination and Management Office, and this person was promoted by Fudge.

At the same time, Kingsley Shacklebolt took over as Head Smackdown Officer in the Auror Office.

There was almost a complete reshuffle of the entire top management of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

At this point, Scrimgeour was the only one left of Amelia's direct subordinates.

Fudge originally wanted to move his position in the Auror office, but at the moment he had no suitable candidate and had to give up.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Scrimgeour could only swallow his anger and obediently follow Fudge's arrangements, even though some of the orders sounded like nonsense to him.

Amelia's disappearance not only caused major personnel changes in the Ministry of Magic, but also caused quite a stir in Hogwarts.

Susan Bones of Hufflepuff is Amelia's niece, and her parents are another branch of the Bones family.

When the news of her aunt's disappearance spread, she did not receive sympathy and care from her classmates, but rather many gloating looks, and some even tried to mock her.

But he gave up after being severely punished by a group of Slytherins led by Pansy.

The Bones family is the pride of the pure-blood family, and its honor cannot be tarnished.

Susan Bones is a character in the original novel. After the news of Amelia's murder was published in the Daily Prophet, what do you think her classmates did to her?

A look of gloating.

I am really speechless. What kind of people did Hogwarts teach?

Chapter 394 I am never afraid of death!

Malfoy Manor,

At this time, the entire manor was no longer as beautiful as before. The magic fountain in the yard had stopped, the pool was covered with green moss, and the white peacock had long been killed and eaten.

The interior of the garden, which was always neatly trimmed, is now overgrown with weeds that are at least one meter high.

The tall and bright mansion could now be described as gloomy and foul.

All this is thanks to the 'help' of the Death Eaters. Malfoy Manor has become the designated gathering point for the Death Eaters.

"Lucius, you are such a useless piece of shit that you can't even do such a small thing."

In the hall, Bellatrix pointed at Lucius' nose and scolded him mercilessly: "It's all because of your incompetence that we have to stay in this damn place now."

As the time was not right and Fudge had not officially confronted Dumbledore, the Death Eaters could not come to the front for the time being. This made these guys who were looking for chaos in the world very upset, and Malfoy Manor naturally suffered.

Those Death Eaters who were originally in Azkaban successfully attributed the incident to the incompetence of Lucius and his men.

This is not the first time that the same provocative approach has been used.

"Bellatrix!"

Faced with Bella's repeated provocations, even Lucius couldn't help it and raised the civilization staff in his hand directly to the other party: "If you have any opinions, go ask the master, or do you want to personally test whether my magic skills have improved over the years?"

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Bella smiled cruelly and pulled out her wand.

At the same time, the Death Eaters who had escaped from prison stood behind her.

"Then you want to try?"

Lucius snorted coldly, and the Death Eaters led by him stood silently behind him.

The two sides are in a stalemate.

Lucius was not afraid of Bella. Although he was not good at dueling, the other party had been imprisoned for more than ten years and was not much better.

And they have the advantage in terms of numbers.

He had long wanted to teach Bella an unforgettable lesson, as she had been going too far during this period.

Strictly speaking, the two sides are actually relatives, and his wife Narcissa is Bellatrix's biological sister.

"What are you doing here?"

A cold voice rang in the ears of everyone present. Although the voice was soft, it was like a thunderclap, instantly calming the two groups of people who were originally on the verge of a fight.

Voldemort floated in from the sky.

He glared at Bella first, then looked at Lucius: "Our enemies haven't been dealt with yet, and you're thinking of fighting your own people?"

"Master. We"

Bella wanted to explain something but was interrupted by Voldemort's wave of his hand: "I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry."

"This is a very critical moment. That old dog Fudge can't help but attack Dumbledore."

"I don't care what your reasons are or who is right or wrong, you are not allowed to cause trouble for me at this time."

To be fair, he would rather see Dumbledore fall victim to the curse he cast on the ring than see Dumbledore and Fudge fight to the death.

If that were the case, he would be able to solve this major problem once and for all.

But the current situation is acceptable even though Fudge only has a one in a thousand chance of winning.

"Yes, Lucius."

Voldemort pulled a book from his wide sleeves and tossed it to Lucius.

"Publish this book. You should be able to do this little thing for my servant, right?"

"No problem, Master."

Lucius took the book and said respectfully.

"By the way, you don't need your original name anymore. Just use a new pen name."

As Voldemort spoke, his eyes rolled, as if he remembered something, and he let out a series of unpleasant laughs.

"Why not just call me Ariana?"
