Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 967: Dumbledore’s counterattack

Since Fudge became the Minister of Magic, he has never been so angry as he is now. It is not because the "Defense Guide" magazine predicts that he will be ousted by the masses next year, but because someone is trying to use "Defense Guide" pushed him to a dead end.

Is Voldemort really back?

Fudge really doesn't want to discuss this issue with people, because the result must be that "Voldemort is back" is just a lie.

This is political correctness.

After throwing a tantrum at everyone outside, Fudge slammed the door of the minister's office shut.

He angrily threw the "Defense Guide" that was wrinkled in his hand on the ground, and after stepping on it hard a few times, he was still not exhausted enough, so he picked up the magazine and tore it into pieces.

What does it mean that there will be a mass escape in Azkaban, what does it mean that Cornelius Fudge will be ousted by the masses next year.

"Damn Dumbledore, **** it, **** it!"

Fudge never imagined that Dumbledore would fight back like this.

He is very clear that assuming the news of "Voldemort is back" is true, then the magazine in front of him will completely corner him, especially as long as some of the so-called prophecies above come true, people will think about it. The contents of the magazine are convinced.

Will it come true?

Fudge didn't know, but he didn't want to gamble, because if he lost the bet, he would really be finished, and maybe he would be kicked out of power like the magazine prophesied.

Then, notoriety shattered.

All this is Dumbledore's conspiracy!

Sirius Black's magazine and newspaper?

Fudge wouldn't believe this kind of nonsense, if it wasn't for Dumbledore's remote control behind his back, Sirius Black would have the brains to do so?

How dare Sirius Black spread these things without Dumbledore's permission?

It's definitely Dumbledore's conspiracy!

Just as Fudge was venting his anger, someone knocked on the office door. It was hard to believe that someone would be so ignorant to disturb the angry boss at this point in time.

"Minister, we have already seized..." Percy looked at Fudge, glanced at the fragments of the "Defense Guide" magazine on the ground, and continued to report to the other party: "...the magazine that published the "Defense Guide", However, Sirius Black and Remus Lupine could not be found. According to the description of the surrounding shops, the two had not appeared in the magazine for a long time, and the rent of that shop was about to expire. Premeditated actions, I suggest that Sirius Black and Remus Lupine be fined, and even the Aurors can arrest them in Azkaban prison for a few months in the name of disturbing the public order, and Severely fine a large sum of Galleons."

"Only a few months?"

Fudge yelled at Percy, clearly dissatisfied with the result.

"Yes, at most a few months." Percy explained in a low voice: "Mr. Minister, they are first-time offenders, and they will not be sentenced to serious crimes by the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic. Fines. However, as long as they are fined and they commit another crime, they can be imprisoned in Azkaban in the name of repeated admonition, and the entire wizarding world will be clean."

"Very well, you go to communicate with the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic." Fudge finally agreed to Percy's proposal. Although he really wanted to throw Black and Lupine into Azkaban Prison, Fudge was not Anger was in his head, and it was clear that even going to court would only make him a laughing stock.

"I remember Remus Lupine was a werewolf!" Fudge said suddenly when Percy turned to leave.

"Yes sir, Remus Lupine is indeed a werewolf, and he once served as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts." Percy replied respectfully.

"Send a message to the Daily Prophet and ask them to refer this to the werewolves, reminding them that Remus Lupine served at Hogwarts, and...Jean Dolores S. Umbridge came to me."

"I'll do it now."

Percy wrote down a few things that Fudge ordered, and left the minister's office in a hurry.

"Minister, are you looking for me?"

After a while, Umbridge's high-pitched voice sounded outside the office of the Minister of Magic.

"Have you read the magazine "Defense Guide"?" Fudge asked.

"I haven't seen it. However, I heard some bad rumors." Umbridge's face was full of fake smiles, and he said following Fudge's train of thought, "I heard that this man named Lai The magazine run by James Lupin's werewolves, maybe we should arrest him, who knows if those werewolves are engaged in some illegal underground activities."

"Remus Lupine was a professor at Hogwarts," Fudge hinted.

"Oh, my God, that's not a good idea." Umbridge said in an exaggerated tone. It's too dangerous."

"Dumbledore is completely irresponsible to the students. I also heard that he appointed someone with giant blood as the professor of protection of magical creatures. I really don't know what he is thinking." Fudge continued to hint.

Umbridge seemed to have guessed something, and said with a smile: "The current situation at Hogwarts is indeed disturbing."

"Dumbledore doesn't seem to have found a suitable candidate for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. I hope you will go to Hogwarts to take up a post, and by the way, save Hogwarts' declining education level." Fudge said that he was looking for Umbridge He knows what kind of person Umbridge is, and he also knows that her reputation is not very good, but so what, as long as he can accomplish his tasks well, he is an excellent subordinate.

Recently, Fudge has found that there are not many people he can trust in the Ministry of Magic.

"Oh, of course no problem." Umbridge agreed with a smile, "However, Dumbledore may not agree."

"I'll tell him about it, and he'll agree." Fudge said confidently.

Actually, the Ministry of Magic wanted to install professors at Hogwarts a long time ago, but Dumbledore strongly rejected them all.

This time is a good opportunity, he is confident that Dumbledore will compromise.

"I will not let you down." Umbridge nodded and left. Of course she knew what Fudge wanted to do, and this was also a good opportunity for her.

Umbridge saw his opportunity to rise.

She knew very well how to please Fudge, how she could climb up to the authority of the Ministry of Magic, and how to convince Fudge that she was one of the few people he could trust.

As long as she has Fudge's trust, she is not far from a higher position in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

Umbridge became the director of the Misuse of Magic Office before he was 30 years old, and having sat in this position for so many years, naturally he will not lack ability, means and vision.

She is also very clear that the Ministry of Magic has always wanted to have a foothold in Hogwarts.

…

…

12 Grimmauld Place, Order of the Phoenix headquarters.

Sirius and Remus were sitting at a table discussing news from the latest issue of the Daily Prophet.

They are all in trouble because of the publication of the "Defense Guide", and may face high fines.

"I knew it would be like this." Remus frowned and said, "Fudge must be mad, I don't know if this matter will cause Dumbledore trouble."

"What does this have to do with Professor Dumbledore?" Ginny asked puzzled.

"Now whatever happens, Fudge will think Dumbledore ordered it. Come on, Remus, do you think Fudge will stop smearing Dumbledore if we don't? No, he won't Yes, if we don't do anything, that's a sign of cowardice and incompetence. We need to let everyone understand where we are now, instead of burying our heads in the ground like Fudge, or they will die when the danger comes?" Little Sirius read the exaggerated reports in the "Daily Prophet", and he didn't seem to be angry at all, instead he had an expression that really did.

"Perhaps, we should try another method." Lupine frowned and suggested.

Gu</span>"Don't worry about Remus, this is just a trick of the Ministry of Magic, just a little intimidation." Sirius said lightly, completely ignoring the "Daily Prophet" content.

"Thousands of Galleons, are you sure there is no mistake here, or is the Ministry of Magic completely crazy?"

Ron was shocked by the news about the closure of the "Defense Guide" newspaper and the high fines that Sirius and Lupine would face. He said to Sirius in disbelief: "As far as I know, five Ten Galleons is already a high fine."

"It's just written or will face, that is to say, this so-called fine of thousands of Galleons is just the amount of fine guessed by the Daily Prophet." Hermione took the newspaper and corrected Ron after reading it carefully. wrong statement.

"Someone once told me that the Ministry of Magic is very lenient to first-time offenders who are not very serious, at least they will not give too serious punishment." Sirius explained to everyone with a smile, "That is to say, even if we are arrested now Don't worry, at most you will be fined fifty Galleons, that's okay, I don't need this amount of money for Remus, if you are really caught and fined one day, I can help you pay the fine in advance."

"Not the question."

"No, that's the problem, because we're not breaking the law at all, Fudge is trying to get us in trouble, he's just trying to use his power to bring us to our knees, because he's scared, and our magazines can send him to hell." Only when everyone looked over did Sirius shrug his shoulders and said, "At least he can be allowed to step down with a notoriety, and then he will never even think about raising his head again in his life."

"Would it be too cruel." Hermione frowned.

"Come on, Hermione, do you have to be imprisoned in Azkaban to wake up?" Sirius sneered, "Be kind and don't mistake someone, otherwise you may kill other people."

"Sirius." Remus glared at Sirius disapprovingly.

"I just want her to suffer less in the future. The adult world is cruel, especially if there is no one to protect her."

Hermione remembered that Albert had said something similar, and thought he was so naive.

Ignoring other people's stares, Sirius continued, "This is an unequal political struggle, and political struggles are always life-and-death. Dig your own grave."

"That's right, that's probably the case, so Hermione, you guys are so naive." Fred and George came out of nowhere, "And Sirius said it's not equal, that's because even if Fudge loses, It won't be too miserable, Dumbledore will let Fudge go, but Fudge won't, he will only become more and more ruthless, and then Dumbledore will be gradually stripped of most of his titles, even including the headmaster .”

Whether it was Hermione, Ron or Ginny was stunned by these words.

"Albert's prophecy?" Lupine asked tentatively.

"Yes." George comforted, "Also, the Ministry of Magic is actually not charged with this crime. This thing is probably made up for you recently, otherwise Rita Skeeter should have been sent to Azka. Class prison."

"How do you know?" Ron couldn't help asking.

"I've been with Albert for a long time, so I'm easily influenced by him." Of course, Fred and George would not say that they still keep in touch with Albert.

"By the way, when will the radio station be fixed."

"Broadcast station?"

Ron, Hermione, and Ginny looked at each other, wondering what they were trying to do.

"I'm still working on it, I've never done that before." Sirius glanced at his old friend and said, "You also come to help, this is very important, it's one of our channels for external events."

"Is the time set?" Fred asked again.

"Are you going to speak on the radio?" Arthur helped Mrs. Weasley bring over the soup, and heard them discussing the wizarding radio.

"The "Defense Guide" is banned, we need a new voice channel."

"You shouldn't have published that prophecy on it, Fudge was going crazy, and he even had your magazine shut down." Arthur felt that stimulating Fudge like this would do no good to everyone.

"It's okay, the rent is due anyway, and there's nothing important inside, we've already moved the printing press away." Sirius seemed to have known the result a long time ago, he raised the corner of his mouth happily and said, "Fudge will definitely not allow the publication of the magazine, but the more he prohibits it, the more people will be curious. If the contents of the "Defense Guide" are all false, why did Fudge ban it? You must know that Fudge or magic There are quite a few bad articles, and Fudge has never done this before.”

Everyone fell silent again.

"Next, the "Defense Guide" will be released privately. With radio broadcasting, we will definitely be able to make our voice known to the outside world, instead of letting Fudge monopolize this aspect and continue to deceive everyone." Sirius introduced himself to them. plan, "Believe me, no one wants to be a rat crossing the street. Even if you can't win more allies, you must keep the majority neutral, or lean towards our side, especially after certain things happen. They will definitely prefer to Get some useful news instead of the **** in the Daily Prophet.”

"So what are we talking about on the radio?" Lupine asked, frowning, apparently temporarily convinced by Sirius. Now both Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix need more support, they cannot face the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters alone, otherwise it will be a disaster.

"You can talk about the Triwizard Tournament and the resurrection of Voldemort, as well as some of Fudge's policies, such as sending the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor to Hogwarts, or the reason why Barty Crouch was silenced, or Harry How did you become the fourth warrior."

"You need to change your voice," George reminded.

"Why?"

"Of course it is to avoid trouble. Although we are not afraid of trouble, we should at least avoid it as much as possible." Fred took out two candies from his pocket and said, "However, the development of voice-changing candies has not been smooth. Don't try it."

"Voice-changing sugar?"

Ron eyed the candy in Fred's hand suspiciously.

"Eating it will make the voice hoarse, and the other one will make the voice sharp." George introduced to the two, "The sequelae need time to recover, maybe a day, or longer, we temporarily I can't find a solution, maybe I have to ask Albert for help after I go back to school."

"You guys are well prepared." Arthur looked at his son, then at Sirius and Lupine, thinking that there might be something he didn't know.

"By the way, what's the name of the platform, Wizard Lookout Station?"

"Ten minutes for a heartbeat?" said Sirius.

"Why is it called ten minutes of heartbeat?" Ron asked puzzled, and even Lupine was a little confused, as Sirius hadn't told him about many things in advance.

"Because we only talk for ten minutes, why is it so mysterious, and we need to set a password to prevent others from hearing the news on the radio."

"What if no one listens?" Arthur frowned and said, don't you want more people to hear this broadcast?

"There will always be people who will listen to it. You can take it as gossip news. Everyone likes to listen to gossip, right? Besides, mysterious gossip news can arouse everyone's interest." Sirius is not worried at all that he has no audience, "Kingsley and you both work in the Ministry of Magic, and you can also provide some interesting news, such as Fudge getting angry again today, and analyze some of the actions of the Ministry of Magic, and give you an analysis of the current situation. Believe me, some Things will soon come true. When these truths come true, people will believe more and more what we say on the radio. When the dementor escapes from prison, the entire wizarding world will be in chaos. I think all wizards in the British wizarding world will Willing to turn on the radio and listen to the news on our radio.”

"And the Ministry of Magic can't come here and ask us to turn off the broadcast, because they can't find our specific location at all."

Fred and George looked at each other, and they heard the shadow of someone from Sirius' words.

"Have you got in touch with Albert?" Hermione couldn't help asking. Since the last time she heard that a Death Eater was looking for Albert, Hermione was a little worried about Albert's safety.

"No, he should be hiding." Sirius comforted: "That guy is better at protecting himself than anyone else. I think he is probably hiding in a house protected by the Fidelity Curse. It is safe, even if it is Dumbledore couldn't find where he was hiding."

"Isn't Dumbledore the Secret Keeper of the Fidelity Curse?" Everyone was a little surprised. The only weakness of the Fidelity Curse is the Secret Keeper, and Dumbledore is undoubtedly the best candidate for the Secret Keeper.

"No, no one knows who it is. According to Dumbledore, it is safer than not knowing the specific location and not knowing who the keeper is."

"He won't go to Hogwarts, right?" Ron raised his eyebrows and said, "Although I don't think it doesn't matter whether he goes or not~IndoMTL.com~ He will go to school, Albert said this year's Hogwarts will be very interesting." Fred blinked and said, "It may be related to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor sent by the Ministry of Magic."

"Fudge is going to send someone to Hogwarts?" Arthur looked at his son in surprise. He hadn't heard the news in the Ministry of Magic yet, so why did they look like they knew about it a long time ago. "

"Of course, it's Albert after all, you know it's weird?" Fred tilted his head and said, "It is said that he will go to a troublesome ghost."

"I think she is quite unlucky." George said meaningfully, "Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is not a good position, just look at the previous ones. Moody was imprisoned for a school year, Remus almost Entering Azkaban, Lockhart became a fool, Quirrell died, Smith disappeared inexplicably, only Professor Bard escaped by chance, and he resigned early and ran away. You said that the unlucky guy of the Ministry of Magic will fall What will happen?"
