The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 451 The Kindness of Women
Everything Fudge did tonight stemmed from his misunderstanding and prejudice against Dumbledore.

Fudge's obsession with power made him always put himself in the position of a victim, and regarded everything Dumbledore said and did as harm to him.

With the constant gossip from the public and the acquittal of Sirius, the misunderstanding and prejudice in Fudge's heart have deepened, making official fans Fudge no longer believe anything Dumbledore said or did.

Fudge stubbornly believes that Dumbledore wants to take his place, and wants to replace himself as the number one man in the British wizarding community.This is the stupidest part of Fudge, he looks at Dumbledore with the eyes of a politician all the time.

Even though he heard the attack of Barty Jr. and Foley from Professor Moody, and he saw the fire in Little Hangleton with his own eyes, he still didn't want to believe Dumbledore's judgment and the facts spoken by Sirius.

In Fudge's view, the frequent occurrence of strange things this year can only be related to the two prisoners of Azkaban, Barty Jr. and Foley, who created panic in the name of mysterious people to achieve their unknown goals.

And Dumbledore is using this matter to make a fuss, create panic, let him and Harry Potter become important again, gain the support and support of the public, and regain the dominance and discourse power.

If you don't believe me, just look at the people here tonight!

Sirius Black, he is Harry Potter's godfather and Dumbledore's student.Porter becomes the savior, and as the savior, Godfather Blake will also benefit countless times, with all benefits but no harm.

Esmeralda Drizzt, she is Dumbledore's most trusted student, almost no one in the entire British wizarding world does not know about it.From the moment she entered school, Dumbledore took care of her and maintained her in every possible way. It looks like she is cultivating a successor?
All the people present were Dumbledore's confidantes and trusted people, only Fudge himself was an outsider.Fudge thought these people were conspiring to deceive him, just as Dumbledore never mentioned that Potter was a Parseltongue and behaved eccentrically.

It was these prejudices, misunderstandings and subjective speculation that made Fudge full of distrust and even hostility towards everyone present.That's why Fudge was furious for a while, kept his mouth shut, turned a blind eye to what happened to Ada tonight, and cursed her for not dying.

Fudge spoke quickly for a while, and although he felt a lot better, it also created the current confrontation between the two sides and the tense situation.

Vida Rozier on the other side, she is not an impulsive person, and she did not attack Fudge because of a moment of recklessness, she has her own considerations.

Fudge's words didn't make Vader feel very angry. The minister of the Ministry of Magic could only vent his anger with angry words, which is enough to show how failed Fudge's life is.

In the magic world, big fists are the last word. Fudge's inner demons are ultimately because his strength cannot support his ambition.Every day he sits in the position of minister, he is trembling, for fear that someone will overthrow him.

Such a weak Fudge is not enough to make Vader angry, especially in front of so many people.Vader's threat tonight sounded like a threat to Fudge, but in fact she did it on purpose for Dumbledore to see.

Vader did not object to Ada following Dumbledore and making an enemy of Voldemort.In Vader's view, this choice is not a problem. Didn't she herself follow Grindelwald to fight against the world? It's nothing.

It is not Voldemort that really worries Vader, but Dumbledore.

Vader was worried that Ada was young and inexperienced, that she would unknowingly fall for Dumbledore's way, and would willingly die for Dumbledore and Harry Potter one day in the future.

In a war, everyone may die, and everyone must be aware of death, but no one wants to die for himself or his closest relatives.

The same is true for Vader, everyone can die in this coming war, including herself, except Ada.

Vader doesn't know whether Dumbledore really trains Ada as his successor, or just treats Ada as a handy tool, a quick knife for Potter.

It takes a lot of effort to cultivate a successor, and it is impossible to discard it at will, but Kuaidao is different.When the knife becomes no longer handy and sharp, the person holding the knife can discard her at any time and sacrifice her in exchange for higher benefits.

This is what Vader cannot tolerate, and this is the purpose of her attack on Fudge tonight.Vader needs to confirm Ada's status in Dumbledore's eyes, and confirm whether Ada is the one who can be sacrificed at will.

The evening wind was blowing gently, but it was not gentle, and there was an unpleasant burnt smell in the air, which made people sick.The two sides are still confronting each other, but no one has made the first move.

The Aurors surrounded Fudge for protection, but they chose not to.One is that they don't want to take the blame, they are waiting for Fudge to give an order; the other is that they don't want to court death, wouldn't it be nice to be paid alive?

"Dumbledore!" Fudge began his growl again, "what the hell are you trying to do!"

Fudge pushed away the Auror who was blocking him, and he continued to roar: "I'm standing right here, if you want to be a minister, you can come and get it, don't engage in such crooked ways!"

In Connery Fudge's subjective world, he is the Minister of Magic!Vida Rozier actually dared to attack him, and even dared to threaten him. With his ass, he knew that it was Dumbledore's instruction, and Dumbledore was behind him.

The minister's fierce speech made everyone's eyes fall to the ground.

The Aurors looked at the minister in disbelief, not understanding what he was thinking. Didn't this directly push Dumbledore to the opposite side!Is it because you think you didn't die fast enough, and you are overweight yourself?
Ada was also shocked. She was ready to start the film, but Fudge said this!Cornelius Fudge is really worthy of his surname, soft enough and stupid enough.

"It's just a grandmother's love for her granddaughter. It's nothing, Connelly." Dumbledore said, turning the big thing into a small thing, and the small thing down.

Dumbledore wants to unite more forces to resist Voldemort's comeback. He doesn't want to see unnecessary deaths tonight, and let these Aurors die in vain due to internal friction.

The big picture, Dumbledore was thinking about the big picture, not Cornelius Fudge's personal thoughts.Dumbledore was very disappointed with Fudge's performance, but the Minister of Magic can be changed, but he cannot die in office, let alone die by his hands.

Perhaps, Fudge also understood this point, so he dared to provoke Dumbledore frequently, ignoring the headmaster of Hogwarts.

Fudge wanted to say something else, but before he could continue as secretary, an Auror behind him said first: "Minister, I think there are some things we can discuss in the long run, and there is no need to rush for a while. The most important thing for us now is to figure out The truth about Barty Crouch Jr. and Benedict Foley, prevent them from causing trouble. These two are the most dangerous."

The speaker had a deep, slow voice that seemed to have calming powers, and he was tall, bald, dark-skinned, and wore a dark robe.

The night was dark, and on such a night, Kingsley Shacklebolt's appearance and attire made him look somewhat inconspicuous.

If it were someone else, this sentence probably wouldn't attract Fudge's attention, but Kingsley was different, Fudge could listen to his words a little bit.The Shacklebolts were an old pure-blood family, and Kingsley was a capable man.

Fudge's subjective speculation derailed tonight's events. The conspiracy of Barty Crouch and Foley turned into Dumbledore's conspiracy against the Ministry of Magic, or against Fudge alone.

Kingsley's words only brought tonight's events back on track. He was reminding Fudge what was the most important thing at the moment, and the fight for power and profit could be put aside for now.

Vader glanced at Dumbledore slightly disappointed.Taking care of the overall situation, Vader thinks this is the benevolence of a woman.
