Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1118: Anyway
"Minister, the reporters are here."
Percy Weasley stood in the doorway, looking at the listless Fudge with his fingers crossed behind his desk, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the wooden door of the office as a reminder.
"Got it."
Connelly Fudge stands up wearily and walks out of the office.
Honestly, Fudge didn't want to deal with the annoying flies of reporters at all, but as the current Minister of Magic, he had to give everyone a fair reason for Amelia Burns' death anyway. explain.
"Explain?"
"What the hell!"
Fudge himself had no idea what was going on.
A few hours earlier, Fudge was woken from sleep and informed of the murder of Amelia Burns.
What is a suspected mysterious person doing it himself.
The Aurors didn't give him a reasonable explanation, so how could he give the reporters an explanation?
Is it possible to tell the reporters that Amelia Burns was killed by You-Know-Who?
Even if I think about it with my knees, I know what the consequences will be if I say that.
What the entire British wizarding world really cares about is not the death of Amelia Burns, but that Amelia Burns was murdered by Death Eaters under the protection of Aurors.
The authority of the Ministry of Magic will be questioned again, and this is not the most terrible, when this happens, everyone will think that Amelia Burns was murdered under the protection of the Aurors, then everyone How can the safety of life be guaranteed?
Wizards who live in panic will only take out their anger at the Ministry of Magic, and Fudge, as Minister of Magic, is undoubtedly the first to bear the brunt. Who let this happen during his tenure?
Fudge seems to hear people shouting for him to get off the stage again, and they must want a more reliable Minister for Magic to lead everyone through this current difficult time.
"I'm here to announce bad news. Ms. Amelia Burns was killed not long ago." Fudge's voice was low and sad, and unwittingly thought Fudge and Amelia Burns were relationship is good.
In fact, the relationship between Fudge and Amelia is not very good, which mainly involves the interests of both parties, and because Amelia takes office, Fudge will not get much benefit.
However, several years as Minister of Magic have allowed Fudge's acting skills to pass the test.
"I heard that Ms. Amelia Burns was murdered by Death Eaters under the heavy protection of Aurors." A male reporter asked sharply, "Is this true? "
Fudge's face was ugly, but not unprepared, and he said, "Yes, unfortunately, we think that the devil who can't even name her killed her."
While the reporters were whispering, Fudge stretched out his hand and pressed it, gesturing for everyone to listen to him and continue, "Amelia Burns is a very gifted witch, her bravery and fairness have been rewarded with Everyone's approval is also the most promising candidate for the Minister of Magic at present. Maybe the devil who can't even mention her name was afraid that she would become the Minister of Magic, so he personally took the Death Eaters to kill her with his own hands. resisted."
"The death of Amelia Burns has cost us dearly."
"But I heard that the Auror who protected Amelia Burns was not killed by the Death Eaters, but a witch named Emmeline Vance." The man The reporter said sharply again, "It is said that Emmeline Vance was Dumbledore's man and was responsible for the safety of Ms. Amelia Burns."
Fudge looked sternly at the reporter who had just spoken, trying to see what the man looked like.
There was an uproar at the scene, if only the Auror who was protecting Amelia Burns was stunned by the Death Eaters, but another wizard who was responsible for protecting her was killed, it didn't matter. Suspicious no matter what.
If it's a little darker, it's not surprising that someone at the Ministry of Magic deliberately murdered Amelia Burns.
"I can't answer your questions because I want to know why myself, but I think the answer will probably have to wait for the two Aurors to wake up." There was a problem, and Fudge didn't think it was the Auror's problem.
As Fudge expected, everyone is more concerned about who will be the next Minister of Magic after the murder of Amelia Burns? Will he be able to lead everyone through this difficult time?
Fudge was wearily responding to the reporters' questions, he didn't even know what he said in the end, and there is no doubt that the death of Amelia Burns has caused a huge drop in confidence in the Ministry of Magic, Makes many wizards think the Ministry of Magic is no longer reliable.
Fudge now just wants to dump this mess as soon as possible, but after the death of Amelia Burns, he is horrified to find that there is no suitable candidate.
Mainly because Amelia Burns is very capable and talented, and currently has not only the acquiescence of everyone, but also the support of Dumbledore, he should not wait for a vote, but should Simplify the voting, make Amelia the new Minister directly, and deal with the mess that was left behind, maybe Voldemort will not dare to challenge the whole Ministry of Magic openly.
The morning paper, about the death of Amelia Burns and the interview with Fudge, quickly spread throughout the UK through newspapers.
Isobel put the newspaper on the table and looked up at Albert. "You seem to have foreseen her death very early."
"Yes, I remember reminding her." Albert swallowed the food in his mouth and said calmly: "But Amelia Burns doesn't want to hide, maybe, she overestimates She underestimated the strength of her and the Auror's protection, and underestimated the determination of You-Know-Who to kill her, so she died."
Mrs. McDougall and Katrina both turned to look at Albert.
"It should be the hands of the mysterious man himself." Albert took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, "If it was the group of waste Death Eaters, it would probably screw things up, Emmeline Vance is the Order of the Phoenix Even if they can't defeat the Death Eaters, they will alert Amelia Burns and help her buy time to use Apparition to escape, and the tasks of the two Aurors should be similar."
"If Amelia Burns is willing to hide temporarily." Isobel looked at his mother and asked, "Will she be able to escape?"
"I'm afraid it's difficult. I know Amelia." Mrs. McDougall sighed softly. "She's not a timid person, and she won't hide for fear of being killed."
"So, she died," said Albert calmly. "Amelia Burns' character and behavior led to her death."
"You reminded her?" Katrina asked curiously.
"Yes, I reminded her, I reminded Dumbledore, and Scrimgeour, they were all vigilant, but Amelia Burns was killed by You-Know-Who anyway because they Too underestimate the determination of the mysterious man." Albert said softly, "so changing the prophecy is sometimes not an easy thing."
Katrina looked at her mother and suddenly understood why Albert and Isobel brought her even with the Imperius Curse.
If Mrs. McDoug doesn't want to give up her job and go into hiding, maybe Amelia Burns is the way to go.
"Will Amelia Burns really survive if she went into hiding?" Mrs. McDougall asked Isobel's question.
"Maybe, at least not easily die," Albert explained. "Prophecy is difficult to change, but that doesn't mean it can't be changed."
"So, you told Amelia Burns, you told Dumbledore, you told Scrimgeour about it?"
"Yes." Albert admitted directly.
"But Amelia Burns is dead," Katrina reminded.
"If Amelia Burns believed and hid, maybe she wouldn't die." Albert gave the trio an example, "Umbridge is the best example. "
"Originally, according to my prophecy, Umbridge would enter the Forbidden Forest for a certain event and receive a lesson she would never forget from the centaurs, but after hearing the prophecy, she never dared to step into the Forbidden Forest. So her fortunes changed."
"I think you know everything." Katrina looked at Albert with an odd expression.
"Can guess something."
"You should be able to save Amelia Burns if you wanted to." Although questionable, Katrina seemed convinced that Albert had a way to save Amelia Burns if he If you really want to, you can definitely do it.
"I'm not Potter, and I'm not the savior, nor can I save anyone, much less risk saving irrelevant people." Albert glanced at Katrina and said calmly, "Many times , even if the prophecy of disaster occurs, it is difficult to stop it, because no one believes it."
"And, I tried, but failed." Albert's tone was flat, "Emeline Vance died because of this, but it didn't change the fate of Amelia Burns' death."
"You mean..."
"Emeline Vance did not die to protect Amelia Burns."
"Fate is always impermanent. Even if I can predict the future, I need to be in awe of it, rather than being able to peep into the future and do whatever I want."
"Sorry," Katrina said, bowing her head.
"Amelia Burns' death is more because she is unwilling to give up." Albert said softly, "If she is willing to give up something, at least there is a chance for revenge, and now she even has a chance. It's gone."
"Vengeance?"
Katrina feels this is getting more complicated.
"The Burns family had a great feud with You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters. Most of Amelia Burns' relatives died at the hands of You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters."
"So, Amelia Burns wants to use the power of the Ministry of Magic to seek revenge on them. Being the Minister of Magic is the best way. If she wants to be the Minister of Magic, she can't hide." Isobel added road.
"It may also be the desire for power, who knows? After all, many high-ranking officials at the Ministry of Magic have a strong desire for power." Albert laughed at himself: "Anyway, the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters are one step ahead. So, Ah Miria Burns is dead and her chance for revenge is lost."
There is an eerie silence in the living room.
"By the way, Isobel and I are going to France today, and we should be back in the next few days." Albert suddenly changed the subject.
"What are you doing in France?"
"Go to see Mr. Lemay, he is our witness." Albert continued, "Drop by the wedding site to see, and have to pick up my family, they better not go back to the UK."
"Be careful on the road," said Mrs. McDougall.
"Keep in touch through the double-sided mirror, and tell the house-elves if you have something to say, it's better not to leave here easily." Albert thought for a while and then said, "We'll be back to pick you up to France in a while, and the wedding will be there. By the way, it's not really safe to be in the UK."
"What about my dress?" Katrina asked suddenly, she didn't have a suitable dress, she borrowed Isobel's dress for the last Christmas party.
"Uncle Mog has already made an order for you, and it should be ready in a few days." Isobel said softly, "In terms of style, it's similar to the one you wore last time."
"Oh."
Katrina hated the feeling of being arranged.
After breakfast, Albert and Isobel disguised themselves as a couple, then Apparated to a remote and uninhabited beach somewhere in southern England, before leaving for France using illegal door keys.
Under normal circumstances, Albert would have chosen the plane to France.
Of course, there are other ways, such as using the Wildsmith family's transnational floo network, but those floo networks have not been used for a long time, security issues are really difficult to guarantee, and it is easier and faster to use the door key , In the current chaotic situation, the British Ministry of Magic has no energy to track down the door key, so there is no need to worry about getting into trouble.
After arriving in France, Albert and Isobel Apparated three times in a row, and finally appeared in the village of Nicola ~IndoMTL.com~Anderson? "
A surprised voice suddenly sounded nearby.
"Professor Dumbledore?"
Albert raised his wand and pointed in the direction of the voice before he could recognize the owner of the voice.
"I almost didn't recognize you." Dumbledore looked at the two black-headed and yellow-skinned men and women in surprise, and said softly, "Very clever transfiguration."
Actually, the pedestrians on the street couldn't see the three guys using the Disillusionment Charm on them at all.
"Professor, I didn't notice you." Albert looked at Dumbledore curiously.
"It's normal, your attention is on the girl next to you. However, your reaction is quick and timely." Dumbledore smiled and said, "I just came from Nico, he Said you would definitely be there before noon."
The old man was actually here to take care of his old friend's funeral.
"No, Professor, what did you use to make me ignore you." Albert asked curiously.
"A little bit of tricks, you must be, but you just ignored it." Dumbledore blinked, "I have to go back to England first, there seems to be something wrong there."
"Amelia Burns is dead."
"A heavy loss." Dumbledore sighed softly. "She's an amazing wizard."
"It's her choice," Albert said softly.
"You're right, that's her choice." Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Okay, let's go, don't keep Nicole waiting too long, he must be happy to see you all , Perenal also prepared your favorite dessert."
"Meet the professor another day." After Albert separated from Dumbledore, he walked towards Nico's house with Isobel.
