I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 196 The Plot That Was Broken

Orlando, who has always been indifferent to fame and wealth, can still express his gratitude indifferently, but Hermione beside him is excited from ear to ear. She is really happy for Orlando.Harry stared at him blankly. What is the youth representative of the Wizengamot?Why hasn't he heard of it.

"Little friend Orlando, I have an unfeeling request. I don't know if I should say it or not?" Fudge smiled awkwardly. After all, he has something to ask for, and his attitude should not be too tough.

"Go ahead, Mr. Fudge."

"Could you tell the public that you saw through Peter Pettigrew's plot this time and that the arrest of Sirius Black was ordered by the Ministry of Magic?"

As soon as Orlando rolled his eyes, he knew what Fudge meant. He smiled. It was because someone gave him a pillow when he was dozing off.

"Mr. Fudge, when will Sirius Black's bounty be given to me?" Orlando asked inexplicably, "I'm actually very talkative. Of course, if I have to work hard for nothing, it's hard to say."

Fudge's face turned black, what is this, extortion?Or coercion?He was a minister of magic who was threatened by a third-year student.

Fudge took a long breath, trying to calm himself down, he squeezed out a smile and said, "Friend Orlando, since Sirius Black is innocent, there is no way to talk about his bounty, after all, the Ministry of Magic initially prepared to The property of the Black family was used as collateral to repay the bounty, and now that Sirius, who is the only male of the Black family, has been laundered, the money is out of the question."

"What about Peter Pettigrew? He's the culprit. Isn't there a bounty for catching him?" Orlando was upset. He wanted him to speak well for the Ministry of Magic with a false name. Was he bullying him when he was young? "Mr. Fudge, although my teacher Nicole Flamel taught me to treat money like dung, after all, in his opinion, Garen can have as much as he wants, but I still feel that the money I earn is better spent. "

The corners of Dumbledore's eyes twitched. When did this kid become so philistine? He hurriedly said, "Given Orlando's efforts in this arrest, I decided to award him a special contribution in the name of the school." award, and another 2000 Galleons as a bonus."

Fudge knew that it was Dumbledore urging him to stop haggling with children, it was too humiliating and embarrassing.

"Well then, on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, I will give you a reward of 2000 Galleons in the name of assisting Aurors in catching suspects. This is already the maximum authority within my scope of responsibility."

"Okay, then it's settled, I will share the money with Harry, Ron and Hermione, so you don't have to worry about them leaking."

"That's really great. I will arrange an interview tomorrow, and I hope you can cooperate." Fudge shook hands with Orlando.

When Orlando and the others came out of the principal's office, Harry couldn't wait to ask, "What about Sirius?"

"Of course it is to restore his reputation, and then the Ministry of Magic will withdraw the charges and charges against him."

"Would the Ministry of Magic do that?"

"Of course it will. It will require us to play a show with them. Fudge gets the name and we get the money. I don't think you mind, Harry?"

"As long as Sirius Black can regain his freedom, I don't care if it's money or not." Harry's current mood is mixed, and he doesn't know how to describe it well. He has no relatives (not counting the Daly family), and he is particularly eager for family affection. Now suddenly there is a godfather, just to fill this gap.

"Okay, trust me, if this works well, it will not only wash away Black's stigma and bring him back to life, but also make us a small profit. Ron will be happy."

"But you captured Peter Pettigrew, and you also controlled the werewolf. We didn't do anything at all, so it's not good to split it equally?" Harry is a fastidious person, and he is always unwilling to take advantage of his friends.

"If you and Ron hadn't lured Sirius Black out, he and Peter wouldn't have been caught without a fight, so you should share equally, and I also have a special contribution award of 2000 Galleons from the school." Orlando patted Harry's Shoulder, several people decided to go to the school hospital again to tell Ron the good news.

When Orlando and the others left, Fudge and Dumbledore talked behind closed doors for several hours, and it seemed that some kind of agreement was reached. The dementors were taken along with them.

The next day, many journalists from the media and newspapers came to the school. As the parties involved, Orlando and Harry were invited. Ron wanted to come, but Madam Pomfrey disagreed, and she was still lying in the ward sulking.

Facing a group of onlookers, Orlando began to regret it, thinking that the appearance fee of 2000 galleons was a bit low.These reporters, who were afraid of chaos in the world, set up language traps with various words for them to answer.

Fortunately, Orlando is a person who has seen big scenes. As long as the question exceeds the pre-set scope, he will answer with "no comment".This made a group of reporters very angry, and it was not easy to attack directly, so a group of people surrounded Harry, trying to find a breakthrough from him.

Orlando was free, but Harry was miserable. The reporters saw that he was getting more and more out of his way, and the questions he asked were getting more and more off-topic. Harry was tired of coping and kept winking at Orlando for help.

"Okay, okay, that's the end of today's press conference. If you have any questions, you can wait for the official statement from the Ministry of Magic. I think this may be what you want." Orlando called Harry Pulled out from the crowd, stopped in the middle and said loudly.As for the dissatisfaction of these reporters, he completely ignored them.

"Is it over?" Hermione, who was waiting outside, saw Orlando coming out, and hurried forward.

"It's over." Orlando shrugged, expressing nothing.

"It's so scary, it's just...like." Harry wiped the sweat from his brow, feeling terrified.

"You mean like a mad dog, don't you?" Orlando added.

"Yes, it's just a group of mad dogs barking around you, you can't do anything to them yet."

"Hehe, it's good that reporters are used to this. If they can't dig out enough news highlights, why should they let others buy their newspapers? To put it bluntly, it's driven by interests. We are just tools in their eyes, so You can be tougher, there is no need to be so nervous and scared."

"What if they talk nonsense in the papers?" Harry wasn't entirely convinced by Orlando's theory.

"The more you say, the more mistakes you make, and the less you say, the less mistakes. If you don't believe me, read tomorrow's newspaper. I guarantee that what they write is quite different from what you said." Orlando looked like this.

Sure enough, the next day Harry frantically ordered more than a dozen newspapers. He wanted to verify that what Orlando said was wrong, but he was slapped in the face.

"How could they scribble like this? When did Harry get coaxed by enemies who killed his father and mother?" Hermione said, pointing to a paragraph in the "Morning Wizard".

"And this one, in order to hide Peter Pettigrew's identity, Ron took it to school regardless of everyone's opposition. Fortunately, Orlando, the star of thunder, found out. He used his tricks to lure out this murderer, and cooperated with the Ministry of Magic to resolve a ten-year injustice. This Is it pure nonsense?" Hermione slammed the newspaper on the table.

Harry flipped through a few pages and couldn't read it anymore. He was pissed off. These newspapers were just making up things, writing in illusory ways, with no professional ethics at all.
