Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

The book in Lucius's hand is "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore", which was jointly written by Lockhart and Skeeter.

This book, from the author's name to the title to the content, is targeting Dumbledore.

Three days later, Lucius used the resources at his disposal to successfully publish the novel. Once published, it became an instant hit, and everyone, whether they believed in it or not, would buy a copy.

Everyone is curious about the life of the legendary wizard Dumbledore.

"Hahaha, someone finally reveals your true face, Dumbledore!"

In the minister's office, Fudge held the book in his hands, as happy as a 100-pound child.

"Mr. Carlo, how long are we going to stay here?"

"Ms. Bones, don't worry, you just need to stay here, it's safe here."

Carlo sipped the black tea in small sips. Perhaps influenced by Dudley, he also liked to enjoy some hard desserts at noon, and eat them with slightly bitter tea.

Don't have a flavor.

Compared to the turbulent waves outside, Carlo Manor is as calm as ever. However, Amelia, who has stayed here for more than ten days, realized from the content of the Daily Prophet that the external situation is very tense.

Especially that book

very obvious

Someone is trying to discredit Dumbledore.

Wizards are also human beings. Rational ones are always in the minority, and we must never allow them to succeed.

"It's a mess outside. I have to step in and stop them."

"Ms. Bones, I'm afraid you can't do that. The Department of Magical Law Enforcement has been taken over by Fudge. Even if you go back, you won't be able to do anything."

The position of Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement was nominally reserved for Amelia but in reality it was entirely held by Fudge.

Even if Amelia could go back, she would not be able to take back the power.

"The important thing is that it's very dangerous outside." Carlo put down his teacup, looked at Amelia seriously and said, "Last time, Senior Tom failed to kill you, so next time he will definitely try every possible way to get rid of you. Do you think you can stop that kind of monster?"

Amelia thought of her previous duel with Voldemort. Well, that couldn't be called a duel at all. It was a complete crushing defeat.

The more she faced Voldemort, the more she understood the horror of him. Amelia herself was already considered one of the best among wizards. This was not self-boasting but a fact. She won the respect of Rufus Scrimgeour with her strength.

However, even if she were joined by ten, twenty, or even thirty Aurors, they would still not be a match for Voldemort.

Strong, really too strong.

As Carlo said, it was a monster, an invincible monster.

I really don’t know how Dumbledore faced such a terrifying existence, so his reputation must not be ruined.

"I would be killed instantly by him."

Amelia said very calmly, and then her eyes gradually became firm: "Even so, some things must be done."

Said in a strong tone.

"I"

"Never fear death!"

Chapter 395 Wizard Card: Mysterious Wizard Tom's Liberated Form

Her words made Carlo stand in awe.

In Carrow's opinion, the Ministry of Magic in England is like a hopeless garbage dump that emits a foul smell, filled with gamblers (Ludo Bagman), mediocre people (Fudge), villains (Umbridge), Death Eaters (some), fence-sitters (some), and sycophants (some).

It is so difficult to find someone like Amelia who can stay clean in such an environment.

So he said, "Ms. Bones, I admire your fearless attitude, but I think..."

"No meaningless death."

"Going out now is no different from committing suicide. According to my information, the Ministry of Magic is full of Death Eaters."

"You're guaranteed to be mobbed the moment you show up."

Although the middle and high-level batch was eliminated and a new batch was stuffed in, fortunately, it was not only Death Eaters who were stuffed in.

The Ministry of Magic under Fudge is a complete leaky sieve.

"And if not for yourself, you should also consider your children and your family. Senior Tom will not let the Bones family go. Once you die, their fate will be..."

"Your brother, Mr. Edgar Bones, was the first wizard to stand up and openly oppose him."

"Just like Mr. Potter represents a flag."

"That's why he regards you and your family as his enemies and wants to get rid of you as soon as possible."

Carlo said in a deep voice.

"As long as you survive, one of the flags won't fall, and Mr. Porter will be a little safer."

Carlo convinced Amelia with just a few words.

"So what can I do here now?"

"You don't need to do anything, just wait quietly."

"wait for what?"

"The clarion call for a counterattack, becoming Minister of Magic."

"Mr. Dursley thinks you're the most suitable candidate."

When mentioning Dudley, Carlo's face was full of admiration and his tone was full of respect.

"The Minister of Magic should be Dumbledore"

Amelia was a little surprised by Carrow's attitude. Although she knew that Dudley was very outstanding, invented the human-restoring spell, and was the youngest Wizengamot, she did not expect that even the patriarch of the Carrow family respected him so much.

At the same time, I was also shocked by what Carlo said: "Can you decide the Minister of Magic?"

"No, Professor Dumbledore will not actually serve as Minister of Magic. He will resign after the matter with Senior Tom is resolved."

Carlo said confidently, tapping the tabletop lightly with the knuckles of his index finger, his movements and tone extremely similar to Dudley's.

"But why me? There's still a lot more at the Ministry."

"Because you are fair and just, and treat all cases equally."

The longer they talked, the more confused Amelia became. She let out a long sigh and decided to stop talking about this issue.

"Why do you all call him Senior Tom?"

It was a very abrupt change of subject, but Carlo didn't mind.

He took out a shiny card from his pocket and handed it to Amelia: "Maybe this can tell you about this."

Amelia picked it up. She recognized the card. It was a wizard card, her little daughter's favorite pastime.

He looked at the introduction on the card and read it out loud slowly.

"Tom's liberated form."

"Dark wizard: Tom Marvolo Riddle. The Dark Lord?"

"He graduated from Hogwarts and is indeed our senior."

Amelia didn't know what to say for a moment. She felt like she had eaten a huge melon.

"The third World's No. 1 Wizard Card Competition will be held in three months. We will release this card before then."

"What are you going to do?"

Amelia paused for a moment, then thought of something and quickly asked, "Wait. Did you guys make that Harry Potter movie, too?"

Carlo smiled but didn't answer her, neither denying nor continuing.

The influence of the book "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore" was beyond expectations. In just a few days, its sales exceeded the sales of the Daily Prophet and the Quibbler, reaching the level of Poison & Antidote magazine.

Almost all wizards are discussing this matter. Although most people are skeptical about the content of the book, after all, most wizards have graduated from Hogwarts in the past few decades, there are still a few people who firmly believe that the content of the book is real.

Originally, the matter was almost over here. Dumbledore's reputation suffered some damage, but not much.

But Fudge stood up at this time.

He openly announced that the contents of the book were true and valid, guaranteeing it with his personality, and then his die-hard fan Umbridge also openly supported it.

The entire Ministry of Magic seems to be holding Dumbledore accountable.

Although wizards often criticize the Ministry of Magic for being incompetent, after all, it is an authoritative organization in the wizarding world and its credibility is still low. As a result, more and more people began to believe in the authenticity of the contents of the book, and Dumbledore's reputation plummeted.

One person can be wise, but a group of people are often stupid.

The most important point is that Dumbledore never showed up from beginning to end, nor did he accept any interviews. He stayed in Hogwarts and never left.

This made the wizards who originally supported him not know what to say.

“Perfect, perfect!”

Fudge clapped excitedly in the office, his face flushed red with excitement, like a monkey's butt.

He could not help being unhappy, now Amelia was missing, most likely dead, Dumbledore's reputation plummeted again, the two strongest contenders for the Minister of Magic were eliminated, and the remaining people were not to be feared at all.

At this moment, Fudge seemed to see hope again.

Hope of being re-elected Minister of Magic.

"If only Dumbledore could be kicked out completely."

Fudge muttered to himself.

Just then, the office door was pushed open and Percy walked in hurriedly from outside.

He closed the door gently, looking very mysterious.

Before Fudge could ask, Percy leaned over and whispered.

"Minister, I have fulfilled my mission. I have found the gathering place of the Death Eaters."

As soon as these words came out, Fudge immediately perked up.

When I feel really sleepy, someone gives me a pillow.

"Where?" Fudge's eyes were shining.

Percy spoke again.

"At Malfoy Manor."

Lucius.

Fudge narrowed his eyes; he should have guessed that the Death Eaters would be there.

“Is the source of the information accurate?”

"It's true."

At this time, Fudge had already made up his mind to continue to serve as Minister of Magic.

"Let's go, take the most elite Aurors with us. We will launch a fatal attack on them tonight."

"We have evidence that Dumbledore is colluding with them."

Chapter 396 I held you in my arms when you were a child.

Carroll Manor

Two wizards wearing black hoods opened the front gate with ease and sneaked in silently. They walked in as if they were back home, passing the first-level garden and heading straight towards the mansion inside the manor.

Just as they were about to reach the gate, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them, and the two of them hid immediately.

"Come out, I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

"Uncle Amycus, Aunt Alecto."

The entire Carrow Manor has been cast under a spell (not the Fidelius Charm), and except for a few people in the entire wizarding world, only the blood relatives of the Carrow family can find this manor.

Seeing that their identities were exposed, the two looked at each other and simply stopped pretending and took off their hoods.
