Harry Potter: I started signing in from Diagon Alley

"Most of them are very enthusiastic, full of energy, but also very proud."

"I don't know what you did today, but you can only get out of their control if you sneak out, right?"

"You don't have deep contact with the wizarding world, and you don't have your own broomstick. At least using the Floo network to travel is definitely not an option for you."

"As for the Mr. Minister standing over there, although he claimed that he came for my business, his indifferent attitude when talking to me was really unconvincing, and it confirmed that his target was someone else."

"If it is true that you have come here in the Knight's Bus, Harry, then I dare say the Minister has tracked down your whereabouts."

"Is it the conductor on the bus, or the driver? I don't know, but given the importance it attaches to you, the Ministry of Magic must have received a message that a little boy with luggage got on the bus alone."

"That's why the minister came here early to wait for you."

"Considering all the circumstances, as well as the major incident that is about to be reported recently, I can only surmise that Mr. Minister is really afraid that Black will find you before the Ministry of Magic."

"Am I right, Mr. Minister?"

Looking at Eric's half-smile face, Harry couldn't help turning his head to observe Fudge's face.

Harry had never seen such an ugly expression. If eyes could kill, Harry believed that Eric would have died ten thousand times.

Chapter 22 He is just a child

"I do not know what you're talking about."

After a long time, Fudge spoke slowly.

But even Harry could see that these words were unconvincing, and Fudge himself probably didn't believe it.

For his denial, Eric didn't say anything, just looked at Fudge with a smile on his face.

Fudge's face was livid, and he looked at Eric, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few more times. A feeling of helplessness hit him for no reason, and Fudge managed to maintain his superficial composure.

He couldn't see through Eric at all.

After thinking about it, Fudge really couldn't grasp Eric's details, and turned his head to wink at Old Tom who was standing motionless beside him.

Old Tom nodded knowingly, and then went upstairs to Eric's side, and said, "Come on, boy, I know you're not afraid, but you don't want to go to the Ministry of Magic because of this. "

"The minister can take you away because of this."

"Don't get yourself into trouble."

Eric did not resist Old Tom, his goal had been achieved.

From the beginning, he wanted to get to Fudge.

Unexpectedly, before he could create his own opportunity, Fudge took the initiative to come to the Leaky Cauldron.

Whatever Eric said just now, no matter what sentence it was, was unacceptable to Fudge.

Fudge favored power, and he could only maintain superficial courtesy to all those who could not really threaten his status.

Conversely, Fudge does not allow people far inferior to him to dictate to him.

Fudge's thirst for power has reached the point of paranoia.

Eric is well aware of this.

So Fudge's attitude towards him just now has been perfunctory to the extreme.

And Eric just wanted Fudge to notice him.

Of course, he can't go too far, everything has to be played within the rules of the game.

The other party was still the Minister of Magic after all.

If you really want to get revenge on Eric, there are still many ways.

It is impossible for Eric to use magical power to subdue Fudge like Dumbledore, so he can only choose other ways.

Even old Tom could see Eric's deliberate attitude towards Fudge.

Old Tom walked behind Eric, and waited until the people downstairs could no longer hear him, then asked in a low voice, "Why did you do this?"

Eric said indifferently: "I just want everyone to face their own hearts and the people around them with an honest attitude."

"Oh." Old Tom sneered and said, "You really think so?"

Eric stopped and didn't answer. He just turned back and smiled at Old Tom, then turned around again and walked into the room.

On the other side, seeing Eric finally leave, Fudge breathed a sigh of relief, held down Harry who was in a daze and wanted to follow, forced him into a small private room on the first floor, and gave all the speeches he had prepared in advance. Informed the other party.

Including that the aunt who was blown up by him has returned to normal.

Originally, Fudge came here tonight for this purpose.

By the way, try your luck and see if you can find traces of Black in Diagon Alley.

Unexpectedly, another Eric appeared suddenly.

Fudge's attention was on Eric at this moment, and he just wanted to quickly end the conversation with Harry.

No way, Harry's status is too special, even if Fudge doesn't want to do it, he has to come forward.

Fortunately, Harry is still easy to deal with.

It only took Fudge a few words to bring Harry's attention back to the trouble he'd caused today.

Seeing Harry's completely relaxed expression after learning that he would not be expelled from Hogwarts, Fudge felt that the world was still normal.

It is a normal child to be persuaded by an adult's words in a few words.

What kind of alien is that Eric?

"Old Tom will arrange a room for you, will you, Harry?" Fudge shrugged off his clothes in a feeling of stuffiness. "You can live here during this time, and Old Tom will take good care of you. Don't be too Worried about your family, of course they are very angry, but as long as you stay at Hogwarts honestly, they will still be willing to let you go back next year."

"But... I don't want to go back, Mr. Minister..." Harry said anxiously, but he was interrupted by Fudge before he could finish speaking.

Fudge would not have the time to listen to Harry's thoughts when Eric stepped in.

He fudged Harry a few words, turned around and walked out of the small room, called two Aurors waiting at the door, asked one of them to look at Harry, and said to the other Auror: "That kid named Eric Something's wrong, I'll go up and hold him now."

"Go back to the ministry right now and do a few things. Go back and investigate the information about Eric just now, find out where he came from, what background he has, and which family he comes from. He is definitely not an ordinary person."

"If you find out that there is something wrong with him, then you will bring some more Aurors here immediately, and bring that Eric back to the Ministry."

"Even if nothing is found, you still let the two Aurors follow me and guard on the second floor, waiting for my signal."

That Auror was Fudge's confidant, after hearing Fudge's order, he still hesitated and said, "But... Minister, he is just a child..."

Seeing Fudge's stinky face, Auror wisely chose to shut up, didn't say anything more, and went out immediately.

Chapter 23 Where's Black?

Fudge didn't keep Eric waiting long.

After Eric returned to the room, within 10 minutes, he heard a knock on the door.

Eric opened the door. Standing in front was Old Tom, followed by Fudge as expected.

Fudge's expression remained unchanged.

Now he looks like the gentleness that the Minister of Magic should have. Instead, he looks like an ordinary middle-aged wizard whose scandal has been exposed.

"Let's talk alone, old Tom," said Fudge coldly.

Old Tom glanced at Eric, opened the door silently, turned and left.

After the door was closed again, Fudge did not greet Eric as he did when they met for the first time, but maintained a condescending posture, went straight to the table and chair and sat down, picked up the black tea on the table, and gave it to himself He poured a glass and at the same time reached out his hand to motion for Eric to sit across from him.

His whole set of movements was intentionally slow. During this process, neither Eric nor Fudge spoke much, and the room was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling.

And during this process, Eric just looked at Fudge with a smile, and didn't stop him from doing anything.

As if he didn't care that Fudge was trying to dominate the conversation.

After waiting for a few seconds, seeing Eric's complete movement, Fudge sneered, and had to say: "Your name is indeed Eric, right? Old Tom told me just now that your surname is Clapton."

"With all due respect, I have no impression of the Clapton family, and I simply don't believe that an unknown wizard family can cultivate someone like you."

"Can you tell me which family you actually come from?"

Eric remained silent.

"...you don't want to talk?"

"It doesn't matter, Eric, we have plenty of time now."

"I've seen a lot of people who want to talk to Harry Potter, including you, want to have a relationship with Harry."

"I really don't know what you want to do, and who made you do it, but it doesn't matter, we will find out the reason slowly..."

Perhaps it was Eric's indifferent response that stimulated Fudge, and he actually started to talk endlessly.

While he was talking, his eyes never left Eric's body.

After talking on his own for a while, maybe because he felt bored, Fudge finally stopped, and the room was silent again.

Almost at the second that Fudge stopped, a devastating sentence suddenly came out of Eric's mouth: "I know where Sirius Black is."

"what!?"

Fudge was stunned for a while, then stood up suddenly, his short and fat body swayed twice, the chair behind him fell to the ground in response, and the teacup on the table also shattered to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Eric's voice still sounds so gentle and calm, with a unique temperature, without any aggression.

But what he said was completely beyond Fudge's expectations.

Hearing the movement in the room, the two Aurors standing outside hurriedly knocked on the door and shouted: "Minister?!"

"What happened?"

Fudge hurriedly stabilized his gaffe, turned around and shouted outside the door: "It's okay! Stay outside!"

Fudge felt his voice tremble a little, which instantly ruined the image he had worked so hard to create just now.

But it was still too shocking to hear that sentence from Eric's mouth suddenly.

Fudge could hardly believe his ears.

Regardless of whether what Eric said was true or not, Fudge could never have imagined that things would develop in this direction.

Sirius Black, who made the entire Ministry of Magic scratch their heads, his information would actually be mastered by Eric.
