The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 450 Never wake up those who pretend to be asleep

Everything that happened tonight seemed too weird to Fudge. He was only here to be the referee of the Triwizard Tournament, so why did he have anything to do with Death Eaters and the Mysterious Man?

Not long after the minister arrived at Hogwarts, he was invited by Dumbledore to the headmaster's office for a secret talk, talking about all the strange things that happened this school year.

From the disappearance of Bertha Jorkins, the World Cup drama, the wrong fourth warrior, the disappearance (death) of Barty Crouch and more.

Dumbledore told Fudge everything he knew.But, no matter what Dumbledore said, Fudge just didn't believe it.

This matter really sounds too unbelievable. How could it be possible for a person who has been dead for many years to jump out and stir up trouble?It's no wonder that Fudge doesn't believe it. He is the leader of the magic world, and he needs to be cautious in his words and deeds to avoid widespread panic among wizards.

In desperation, Dumbledore had no choice but to temporarily give up his plan to persuade Fudge, and waited for the facts to be spoken, and let Fudge see everything in person.

In the evening, the third project started on time. Ida and Sirius disguised as Harry touched the Triwizard Cup, and were transported to Little Hangleton by the Portkey. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to the plan.

Fleur Delacour was attacked and retired, and Viktor Krum withdrew. None of these attracted Fudge's attention, and he still didn't take Dumbledore's words to heart.

At this moment, Dumbledore discovered that Barty Jr. was missing.Little Barty, pretending to be Moody, was supposed to be patrolling around the maze, but he threw away McGonagall and Hagrid, who were staring at him, and ran away.

Dumbledore immediately realized that the situation was wrong and things had changed. He quickly stopped the game and asked the professors to lead the students back to the castle.

Although he already knew that the plan had changed, Dumbledore was helpless because he didn't know where the Portkey would take him in advance, and he could only wait for Sirius to bring the news back.

But Dumbledore didn't just sit there and wait. After Barty Jr. escaped, the headmaster led people to search Barty Jr.'s office.

There, Dumbledore found a magic box in which Barty Jr. had been hiding the real Moody all this time so that he could use Moody's hair.

Dumbledore rescued poor Moody and took him to the school infirmary for treatment.

In the school infirmary, Moody tells Dumbledore and Fudge what happened to him.Fudge finally believed that Barty Jr. was not dead, and knew that Benedict Foley also escaped from Azkaban and mixed with Barty Jr.

But Mr. Minister still didn't believe Dumbledore's assertion, he didn't think the storm this man set off had anything to do with Voldemort.

In this way, while Dumbledore patiently persuaded Fudge, he waited anxiously for Sirius to send him back the news.

After waiting for a long time, Dumbledore finally received the news from Sirius.Dumbledore made a Portkey in front of Fudge, and invited him to go with him, so that he could witness Barty Jr.'s plot with his own eyes.

After all, some things can only be believed if you see them with your own eyes. Dumbledore really can't help Fudge.

But Fudge still hesitated, he didn't trust the headmaster of Hogwarts, he regarded Dumbledore as his imaginary enemy.Perhaps Mr. Minister also has delusions of being persecuted, and always feels that some unscrupulous people want to harm him.

Fudge could sit still, but Dumbledore couldn't sit still.With Barty Jr. running away, and Sirius sending back the news so late, there is only one possibility, and that is that Sirius and Ada are in trouble, life-threatening trouble.

Don't care so much anymore, if you delay for a second, Sirius and Ida will be more dangerous, Dumbledore can only take a step ahead, and don't care what Fudge thinks anymore.

It was Dumbledore's first step that he was able to save Sirius who was hanging by a thread in time, prevent Fiendfire from invading the village, and drive back Voldemort.

But it was also Dumbledore's first step that made Fudge, who had been grinding for a long time, miss the Death Eaters and Voldemort.

"Connelly, you heard what Alastor said in the school infirmary." Dumbledore said, "You also heard what Sirius said, this black fire is right in front of your eyes, you Still don't understand!"

Dumbledore adjusted his mood, and he said calmly: "Connelly, countless evidences point to the fact that he returned, just tonight, in this burned place."

You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.Whether it was at school or in Little Hangleton, Dumbledore had good things to say, but Fudge just wouldn't believe him.

Fudge said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Benedict Foley, Barty Crouch Jr., and him, I didn't see any of the people you mentioned tonight!"

Of course I couldn't see it, who made Fudge hesitate, full of dirty and shady thoughts.If Fudge came with Dumbledore, he'd be able to see Barty Jr., and maybe even catch a glimpse of Voldemort.

It's just that he was destined to lose sight of Fuli's body. Fuli's body had been burned by the fire long ago, and there was not even a single ashes left.

"I want to ask the minister, what's the matter with this fire? Skyfire?" Ada said loudly. She had endured Cornelius Fudge for a long time, and she was really uncomfortable.

Fudge was very dissatisfied with Ada's interrupting behavior. He felt that this girl was relying on Dumbledore's favor and ignoring him, the Minister of Magic.

Fudge growled, "What do you want to say? Do you want to say that You-Know-Who started the fire, or that you had a duel with You-Know-Who?"

Although because of his own hesitation, Fudge came a step late, missed the most exciting content, and only caught up with the fire, but Sirius still briefly introduced the situation to the minister.

Although Fudge didn't show it on the face, in his heart he scoffed at Sirius' statement.

A little girl who hasn't graduated from school, no matter how talented she is, how can she face the mysterious man alone.And this girl is still alive and kicking, interfering in the conversation between big shots, how is this possible!

Fudge reprimanded Ida loudly, and he continued: "You say he's back, at least you have to pretend to be a lie. If it's what you say, how can you stand here and talk to me!"

The brain circuit is invincible, and the thinking is very clear. You Drizzt is not dead, this is the best proof that the mysterious man has not returned, unless you die to show me!
I don't know what gave Fudge such courage, he seems to regard Ada as a persimmon that can be kneaded at will, and Vader as a persimmon.

Perhaps it was the monitoring shackles on Vader's wrists that gave the minister the illusion that Vader Rozier was nothing but a softie like those pure-blood families he manipulated.

As soon as this remark came out, Ada's anger value instantly exploded.Tonight, she was disgraced by Voldemort, and she had already suffocated her stomach, and now Fudge is cursing her to death, how can this be tolerated!
It's just that as soon as Ada made a move, Laura beside her hurriedly hugged her, not letting her continue.Dumbledore at the far end also spoke to stop and let Ada calm down.

Dumbledore can dissuade Ada, and Laura can also hug Ada, but they all ignore the silent Vader, the witchy Vader Rozier.

I saw a green light flashing, precisely slipping past Cornelius Fudge's ear, and sinking into the darkness behind the minister.

Then, Vader said coldly: "This time it's just a warning, and next time, I will personally prepare the coffin for Mr. Minister."

Vader's sudden attack stunned everyone present, but saved face for the frightened Fudge.

After all, Aurors are well-trained, and those who can protect Fudge are not weak hands. They quickly realized it.Two of the Aurors stood in front of Fudge, acting as a human shield, while the others drew their wands and pointed at Vader.

This side pulled out its magic wand and refused to let it go, and the other side was naturally not the one to be bullied.

Laura let go of Ida at once, and she also pulled out her wand, pointing at Fudge in the crowd from a distance, as if to catch the thief first and the king first.Needless to say, Ada never let go of her wand.

In the scorched cemetery, the people who had been working together to fight the fire just now split into three factions, Luo, Fu, and Deng, and their swords were on edge.

"By the way, I forgot to ask something." Vader's voice was cold and heartless, "Mr. Minister, please tell me, how many people are there in your family?"

Dumbledore, who belongs to the third faction, has a headache. One Ada is enough for him. I didn't expect Vader to be such a headache!Press the gourd to float the scoop, Dumbledore really has nothing fuxk to say.

At this moment, Sirius, who originally belonged to the third faction, silently drew out his wand, his footsteps were his choice, and he stood on the side of Vader and Ida.

On the one hand, Fudge, who had a large number of people, was silent about Vader's provocation.I don't know what Fudge thought, he didn't look at Vader Rozier, but looked at Dumbledore.

It's as if Dumbledore ordered Vader to do it.
