Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 961: Fudge’s Resentment
"I think you are probably not up to the job at hand. You will receive a transfer notice tomorrow at the latest. Now you can pack up and leave."
Fudge stared fiercely at the young wizard across the table, signaling that he could get out.
The young wizard was stunned, looking at Minister of Magic Fudge in disbelief, never expecting that he would lose this promising job just by telling the truth.
His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but under Fudge's gaze, he finally didn't say anything, just silently turned and walked away.
Looking at the lonely back of the young wizard leaving, Fudge's mouth twitched into a sneer.
If it weren't for the other party's diligence and following him for two years, Fudge would have told him to get out of the Ministry of Magic directly, instead of being transferred to the other party.
Yes, the hapless Assistant Minister of Magic lost this promising job because he didn't understand Fudge's mind.
He's very capable, but so what, Fudge needs an assistant who can help him with his problems and troubles, not a fool who's just getting in the way.
What is it that Dumbledore doesn't need to spread rumors?
He actually made the so-called "correct advice" to himself self-righteously. He had been dealing with Dumbledore for so many years. Could it be that he didn't understand Dumbledore's character?
Don't you know that Dumbledore is not interested in the position of Minister of Magic?
Of course he knows!
Connelly Fudge knew better than anyone that he could be Minister of Magic because Dumbledore rejected the nomination.
Even as Minister of Magic, Fudge has never forgotten how much popularity and support Dumbledore garnered during the election, just as he has never forgotten how much Crouch was admired at the Ministry.
Fudge is very jealous and hates Crouch very much, but he never envied Dumbledore because Dumbledore was never his own rival.
He also needed Dumbledore's reputation to secure his position as Minister for Magic, and the old man was more than happy to help him.
So, Fudge has always shown respect for Dumbledore, at least on the surface.
The support of Dumbledore is very important to him, which can make the decrees he issued quickly get everyone's approval, because everyone knows these important decrees, he has discussed with Dumbledore, there will be no major problems , and his political opponents will not deliberately jump out to sing the opposite.
Maintains a friendly relationship with Dumbledore and maintains his image in the Ministry of Magic. Even if he sometimes disapproves of some of Dumbledore's decisions, he will choose to remain silent, such as Dumbledore's employment of werewolves as black men. Professor of Defense of Magic. Such a thing would never be permitted by the wizarding world, but Fudge ultimately chose to remain silent.
Well, the main reason is that even if there is an accident, it will not affect Fudge himself. At most, Dumbledore is unlucky because of it, so Fudge did not block Dumbledore.
But this time, Fudge could not tolerate the stupid advice and preventive measures given by Dumbledore, and let Dumbledore say how nice he was, and he would never agree, because his core interests were already involved in this matter , may even be forced to step down for making this proposal.
Listen, get Azkaban out of the Dementors' control and send a peacemaker to the giants?
My God, didn't Dumbledore know what the Ministry of Magic would do with this dangerous horde of dark creatures if the Dementors were driven out of Azkaban?
Let the dementors be Azkaban's guards, at least the dementors can be controlled by the Ministry of Magic instead of becoming a big problem, and the scumbags in Azkaban prison can also get their due Retribution, the most important thing is to maintain Azkaban's deterrent power to the entire British magic circle, so that many wizards dare not do too much.
Most wizards who enter Azkaban will leave a shadow in their hearts after dealing with dementors and will subconsciously stay away from Azkaban prison.
The statement that "half of the people know that there are dementors standing guard in Azkaban, so they can get a good night's sleep" is not a lie, but a reality.
As for sending peace messengers to giants?
That is even more nonsense, because there is no talk, and it is impossible to talk about it at all.
If simple-minded creatures like giants can negotiate with the Ministry of Magic, the relationship between the two sides will not be so rigid. In particular, they did so many bad things in the last wizarding war, and they were hated by wizards in the entire wizarding world. Dumbledore actually suggested that he send a peace messenger?
Honestly, Fudge never imagined that Dumbledore, who has always been known for his wit, would come up with such a foolish idea that even if he thought about it on his knees, he knew that it was impossible to succeed.
Is this old and confused?
After the incident, he talked to the other party again, but the two sides still broke down.
As for the resurrection of the mysterious man.
Fudge always thought it was a big joke.
He couldn't imagine how a wizard who had been dead for more than ten years could lift the coffin board and climb out of the cemetery again.
If the mysterious man is really likely to be resurrected, he should have been resurrected as early as more than ten years ago, how could it be delayed until now?
As for the kidnapping of Harry Potter, Fudge believes it was a Death Eater conspiracy, and it's not surprising that a mad Death Eater would do anything.
Did the Death Eaters do less absurd things in the First Wizarding War?
Not long ago, they had a big fight at the Quidditch World Cup.
Well, let's say there's some very evil black magic that can bring a person back to life, and the mysterious man does come back to life.
But, so what?
If Dumbledore is willing to support him, Harry Potter is willing to support him, and of course Fudge is willing to fight the Dark Wizard, fight the Death Eaters, fight the You-Know-Who, he doesn't even mind having Scrimgeour specialize in this matter Assemble an elite Auror squad.
But this kind of thing has to be kept private, even in the name of targeting the Death Eaters (kidnapping the savior), because once something is exposed, it will immediately cause panic in the entire magical world. Everything that has been painstakingly built for more than ten years will be completely destroyed.
To make matters worse, once the news of Voldemort's return is confirmed, the panic-ridden wizards will take their anger at the Ministry of Magic, at him, the Minister of Magic.
Then, he should get out.
Of course Dumbledore can be said to be high-sounding, he is not the Minister of Magic, and he does not need to bear the wrath of wizards, he will always be the greatest and most popular Albus Dumbledore, and he will Ended his career early because of the opponent's great plan.
No Minister of Magic would allow such a thing to happen, not to mention that he wasn't in the dark, and Dumbledore had the nerve to accuse him of being too obsessed with office.
Yes, the two didn't fall out because of "Voldemort has returned".
If Dumbledore had a better way to fight against the forces of darkness without causing panic among wizards in the wizarding world, and give him a good name, Fudge would certainly be happy to accept and actively cooperate with Dumbledore in fighting the darkness power.
Maintaining peace in the wizarding world is very important to Fudge, because the next election is not far away (every seven years), and even if he does finally retire, these bad things will not fall on his head.
The two sides are clearly at odds over the handling of the matter.
Fudge had to suspect that Dumbledore was planning to pull him down and replace him with a tough new minister?
If everyone believed in Dumbledore, this was bound to happen.
In order to deal with You-Know-Who, Dumbledore may even serve as Minister of Magic himself, taking the entire Ministry of Magic to deal with the dark forces.
Well, he knows that Dumbledore is probably unlikely to be the new Minister of Magic, but that doesn't stop him from switching to a tough guy like Barty Crouch as Minister of Magic and taking a "fighting fire with fire" approach Deal with dark wizards.
Fudge was well aware that Dumbledore would not give up easily.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Fudge to receive the news that Dumbledore announced the resurrection of Voldemort to the teachers and students of the school!
When Fudge learned about this, he almost went crazy. The students at Hogwarts knew it, which meant that most of the wizarding world would know about it.
This made him even more convinced that Dumbledore wanted to pull him down.
Fudge knew he had to fight back and do something to convince others that Dumbledore was confused, or the entire wizarding world would be a mess.
Fudge quickly figured out a way. He used the influence of the Daily Prophet to launch an article clarifying that "Voldemort has returned" was a lie, and compared the advice Dumbledore gave him to him. Precautions poke to the Daily Prophet.
It turns out how stupid Dumbledore's proposal was, and Fudge didn't even bother to slander and slander each other to make everyone feel that Dumbledore was really old and really confused.
Yes, making these suggestions, what is it?
As for the famous Harry Potter, Fudge naturally couldn't let the other party cause trouble for him, so Fudge decided to use Rita Skeeter's article to lead everyone to think that Harry's scars have long-term effects on his mental health The negative influences of Harry, and suggest that everyone Harry may have hallucinations because of the brutal torture of Death Eaters.
In this way, Harry becomes an unreliable witness.
Who would believe him?
At least, wizards who don't want to believe that Voldemort is back will.
What's the use of Harry Potter's identities of those Death Eaters who returned to Voldemort?
If there is no real evidence, they can't be sentenced at all, but it will bring a lot of trouble to themselves.
Of course Fudge knows that some people are suspicious, but as long as they don't come out and cause trouble, and don't get caught by others, Fudge doesn't want to care about them at all, he just wants to end his term in peace.
And, if all those rich pure-blood wizards were caught, who would give generously to a good cause?
Are you counting on Weasley?
The dismissal of the assistant was a relief, but Fudge soon ran into trouble.
Looking at the heavy work in front of him, Fudge can't help frowning. He needs an excellent assistant to help with the work at hand.
In fact, he was still very optimistic about the young man from earlier, but unfortunately his mind was unclear.
Looking at the document about Barty Crouch in his hand, Fudge picked up a quill and signed his name on it, officially announcing that the investigation on Crouch was officially over.
"Crouch's assistant seems to be a very capable young man?"
Fudge put down the document, reached out and rubbed his forehead, and his eyes fell on the profile of Percy Weasley, a young man who had performed well during Crouch's "crazy" period. , which is why everyone didn't notice Crouch's problem.
Fudge intends to meet the young man, which is a good choice if the young man is willing to be loyal to the Ministry of Magic.
He knew that Arthur Weasley had a good relationship with Dumbledore, if he could spy on the Weasleys through Percy Weasleys and get some information about Albus Dumbledore through the Weasleys The news is even better.
It didn't take long for the door to the Minister of Magic's office to be knocked on, and Percy Weasley, a little nervous, walked in.
"A lot of things have happened recently." Fudge looked at the young man in front of him, organized his words a little and said, "Dumbledore thinks that You-Know-Who has been resurrected again, and he also made some unrealistic suggestions like me. ."
"Yes, I also think it's very unreasonable." Percy was a little confused at first, but he quickly reacted and immediately echoed, "The existence of dementors can effectively deter domestic dark wizards, and Aziz Caban also has a lot of dangerous Death Eaters locked up. Once the dementors are driven away, I am afraid there will be problems immediately, and other wizards will definitely not agree to drive away the dementors. As for winning over the giants, I don't think it is a problem. It may be successful, but it is a complete waste of effort."
"Everyone thinks so," said Fudge helplessly. "Dumbledore also claimed that You-Know-Who is back."
Percy hesitated for a moment, and continued with Fudge's thoughts, "Dumbledore seems to be confused, if he can't produce favorable evidence, he will certainly not be able to convince other people, and I am afraid that no one in the wizarding world will want to believe his words. "
"I think you should get the news." Fudge said helplessly, "The entire magical world is in panic because of his irresponsible remarks, and the news that the mysterious man has returned without any evidence is completely intentional. Accidentally, I've been getting more yelling letters lately."
"You can consider reducing Dumbledore's influence on the wizarding world first." Percy hesitated for a moment, then suggested, "Through the Daily Prophet."
Fudge looked Percy up and down, and suddenly said, "I heard that Dumbledore has reorganized his extraordinary organization again, it seems to be called... the Order of the Phoenix. Yes, it is called the Order of the Phoenix, and he seems to have invited your father to join. "
"I don't know about it, my father didn't bring it up at home," Percy said immediately, "but I think my father is loyal to the Ministry of Magic."
A while ago, Fudge lost his temper and made it clear that anyone who had anything to do with Dumbledore could no longer stay in the Ministry. Naturally, Percy didn't dare to talk nonsense, so as not to cause his father to lose his job.
"My former assistant is no longer up to the job, are you willing to take his place?" Fudge said suddenly, "The investigation into Barty Crouch is over, and it really isn't your problem. , others think you are competent."
"Of course I will, and I will always be loyal to the Ministry of Magic."
Although expected, Percy Weasley was stunned by an unspeakable joy, and he could not help clenching his fists and immediately swore his loyalty to Fudge.
Percy can probably guess how Fudge's former assistant lost the job.
"I need you to pay attention to your family's situation. If they join that so-called Order of the Phoenix, I need you to help me find out what Dumbledore wants to do, lest he make another big mess." Fudge was angry. He said, "Even if he wants to deal with the dark forces, it's not what he does. It's just walking around in panic, because he spreads about the resurrection of mysterious people everywhere. Now many departments of the Ministry of Magic are working overtime for this."
"No problem, I'll help pay attention to these issues," Percy agreed immediately.
However, no one knows what Percy is thinking.
"Very good, you can come to work tomorrow, do it well, I'm very optimistic about you." Fudge complimented a few words casually.
"Thank you Minister, I will." Percy left the Minister's office excitedly.
"What an ambitious and intelligent man."
Fudge didn't care what Percy was thinking, he just needed the young man to understand what he meant and help him do his job well.
"Tomorrow should be easier."
Fudge picked up another document and frowned slightly.
Albert Anderson helped the Ministry catch Barty Crouch Jr., but... what reward should the Ministry give him?
Scrimgeour threw the big trouble straight at him.
This displeased Fudge, but he soon learned why.
If it's an ordinary situation, just follow the rules.
If Barty Crouch Jr has a bounty, just give the bounty to the other party. If there is no bounty, there will be no bounty, but... Fudge stares at the gorgeousness attached to it that makes the scalp numb. 's profile ~IndoMTL.com~ suddenly realized that Scrimgeour had thrown it straight at him.
Honestly, this more detailed investigation really surprised Fudge, who never imagined that a Muggle wizard could do this.
There are a lot of titles, and there are countless auras of glory. There are also a lot of famous wizards who keep in touch and have good relationships, not only in the UK, but also in Europe. He also has a strong fighting ability (the dead Barty Crouch Jr. can testify), he is simply an enhanced version of Dumbledore in his youth, and to make matters worse, he also has a strong influence on the Ministry of Magic. force.
Fudge hasn't forgotten the last time Wizengamoor forced his way through and gave him a title.
The matter of Barty Crouch Jr. was forcibly suppressed by him, not to mention the bounty, not even the praise.
If it's an ordinary wizard, it doesn't matter.
But... that guy is not ordinary at all, so this matter can't end like this.
"It's a real headache."
Fudge knew he had to compromise on something.
"Damn, is that guy really human?"
Fudge thought he saw a more terrifying guy than Dumbledore, if he were on Dumbledore's side.
He couldn't help shivering, not daring to think what was going to happen.
