Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 667: Fudge’s Compromise
Chapter 668 Fudge's Compromise
When Cornelius Fudge returned to his minister's office, he slumped on the armchair behind his desk, put his hand on his forehead, and recalled what happened not long ago.
His original plan to award himself the Order of Merlin, First Class, was completely in vain half an hour ago. Except for the few who had greeted him in advance, most of the Wizengamot members thought that he had not Qualifying for an Order of Merlin, the reason for that award for contributing to peace in the wizarding world is ridiculous.
Damn!
Didn't he contribute to the peace of the magical world?
Fuji became angrier the more he thought about it, why did those guys deny their efforts.
Ever since Fudge became Minister of Magic, he has been working diligently, working very late every day to go home and rest, and has been working hard to raise donations to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, so that the magic world can maintain peace Stability, even the crime rate is lower than before, isn't it the result of your own efforts?
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in!"
Fudge frowned slightly and cleared his mind.
The door to the office was opened, and Fudge looked up to see a paper airplane flying in from the wooden door and landing on the desk in front of him. His assistant helped close the door again.
"Who sent the letter?"
Fudge picked up the paper airplane, opened it and glanced at the sender, frowning slightly.
The letter mentions a name, a spell, and three things.
As soon as Fudge read the letter, the paper suddenly burst into flames, startling him. The letter fell from his fingertips and turned into a pile of ashes on the desk.
"Fuck!" Fudge muttered, recalling what was on the letter, and muttering: "They must be crazy!"
Someone is planning to send a Muggle wizard into Wizengamore.
It's not that Fudge discriminates against Muggle wizards, but there has never been such a precedent in Wizengamore.
He knew very well that once this sort of thing was brought up, there would be no chaos in the whole of Wizengamoor.
There are a lot of stubborn guys in the Ministry of Magic who don't like those Muggle wizards very much, but... Albert Anderson, the name Fudge is actually not unfamiliar. He also helped the UK win the International Wizarding Chess Championship a while ago. It is said that A very powerful wizard.
To Fudge's shock, the Muggle wizard named Albert Anderson seemed to know quite a few powerful wizards, otherwise his name would not have been sent to him today.
Is that guy really a Muggle wizard?
Fudge doubts that.
gave up his identity as a wizard, and there are many wizards living in the Muggle world.
That guy may be a descendant of that group of people.
As for the humanoid restoration spell mentioned in the letter, Fudge still has some understanding.
Not long ago, there was a lot of uproar about this matter. Some people said that if this spell was really effective, it would be equivalent to the deterrence of the Patronus Charm against Dementors, and the werewolves would no longer be able to pose a threat to wizards.
At least the situation can be controlled, and even Fudge has to admit that if anyone can restore that spell, he is eligible for a Merlin Medal.
If the Ministry of Magic dared to object, those who objected would be drowned in spittle, just as no one dared to prevent Damocles from receiving a Merlin Medal, even if a werewolf simply could not afford an expensive wolf Poison.
It's all down to the **** Gilderoy Lockhart, the **** liar who nearly lost such an important spell.
Fudge has no sympathy for Gilderoy Lockhart's tragic end, and even a little schadenfreude, but the Ministry of Magic has not taken back Lockhart's Merlin Order.
Once the matter is announced, don't you slap yourself in the face?
Gilderoy Lockhart's Merlin Medal was awarded to Fudge after he came to power. If this matter is known to others, God knows how those unscrupulous editors will arrange this in the newspaper. thing.
Fudge took a deep breath, knowing that he had no choice, and that if he wanted to get that Sir Merlin badge, he had to agree to endorse it and let it go.
In fact, once Albert Anderson does regain control of the Restoring Humanoid Charm and makes it public, it means that a Merlin Medal cannot escape no matter what.
As for whether the other party can become a candidate for Wizengamore, the possibility is not small. He knows that this is copying Dumbledore's way, but with the other party's ability, Fudge does not doubt Albert Anderson at all. can do it.
Fudge knew that if he firmly denied it, he would never get any benefit.
The other party is willing to talk to him, which means that their circle has agreed with this matter, and even Albert Anderson is already a person in that circle, so will Dumbledore support it?
is very likely.
After all, a large part of their circles overlap, which means that maybe more than two-thirds of the Wizengamot members would agree, and it wouldn't make sense if he didn't.
Fudge, realizing this, slumps back into his chair. He hates the feeling of powerlessness.
After a long time, Fudge patted his cheek, cheered up again, and began to write to the other party, expressing his agreement to this matter, and expressing that he would make a donation to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries for himself A chance to win the Order of Merlin.
As for who to ask for donations, Fudge already has a target. His generous old pal, but trying to convince Malfoy wasn't easy.
No one wants to volunteer such a large sum of money to do good deeds unless it is profitable.
Fudge knew he needed to find out what the other person said first.
A few days later, Fudge invited old friend Lucius to his house for dinner, and by the way, he talked about the recent plight of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries.
Lucius naturally understood. He expected it when he accepted Fudge's invitation, and euphemistically said that it was not a small sum of money, but it was not impossible to consider.
During the meal, Lucius asked about Sirius Black's situation, implying that the Black family has a huge wealth, and the immediate heir of the Black family has been imprisoned in Azkaban prison for more than ten years.
Most wizards stay in Azkaban for a long time, eventually they will go crazy and die in Azkaban's prison~IndoMTL.com~If Sirius Black dies, the lineage of Black family means death Now, there are very few collaterals left. Those who are really qualified to share the inheritance can be counted by a slap, and the big one will probably end up in the Malfoy family, because the other Bellatrix is still there. in prison.
Okay!
The Lestranges are both squatting in Azkaban prison. Is there any way to get a portion of that from the inheritance?
Fudge probably knew what Lucius meant and agreed to help him pay attention to Black's situation.
Azkaban prison forbids other people from visiting, but apparently the Minister of Magic is no longer.
Fudge understood it, and smiled and said that he would go to Azkaban to inspect the other day, and he could help him see Black's situation by the way.
If Sirius Black is really insane, it's actually a good thing to get out of it sooner, Azkaban Prison is not the place to be.
For Black's life and death, Fudge doesn't really care, he only cares about whether he can get the Merlin Medal.
What's more, Blake is not a good person, a vicious criminal who will die if he dies.
