Harry Potter: I started signing in from Diagon Alley

It made him nervous.

A child who actually knew where Black was hiding?

If he hadn't seen Eric still standing there without moving, he almost wanted to call the two Aurors at the door to come in and control Eric immediately.

And the two Aurors who heard Fudge's reply looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything, so they could only continue to guard the door.

Fortunately, there were no other residents in the Leaky Cauldron except Eric.

Otherwise, the movement just now will inevitably cause another big news.

"What do you mean? Tell me clearly."

In the room, Fudge stared at Eric with a suspicious look on his face and asked.

Eric laughed: "Isn't that clear enough? Mr. Minister."

"I said, I know where Blake is."

Fudge trembled again when he heard this sentence, and almost immediately retorted: "This is impossible!"

"After Black disappeared, so many Aurors, and the Ministry of Magic's trackers couldn't find him..."

It was impossible for Fudge to immediately believe Eric's words.

"Indeed." Eric admitted Fudge's statement, "So many Aurors, wizards who are good at tracking, dementors...all can't find Black's whereabouts."

"Then why, can I know?"

"There is only one reason, Mr. Minister, you haven't thought about it, or you can't think about it."

After Eric finished speaking with a smile, he sat down slowly, then reached out and took out his wand.

Seeing Eric take out his wand, Fudge was startled, and was about to take out his own wand almost reflexively, but then he realized that Eric's target was not himself.

Eric tapped his wand lightly and whispered a spell, and the table that Fudge knocked down just now floated up, and then slowly put it back to its original position, not bad at all.

"For your age, it's a wonderful levitation spell." Rao even Fudge had to admire this scene in a low voice.

Eric's levitating spell was very standard in terms of casting speed and other performance.

Of course, Eric himself was also very satisfied.

He was already very content with the effect of the Levitating Spell at the elementary level, and he didn't waste the hard work he had done in the past few days.

Eric, who showed his hand in front of Fudge, did not continue to use magic, but stretched out his hand and politely invited Fudge to sit down again.

"Mr. Minister, we don't need to test so much between us just now." Seeing the complicated expression on Fudge's face, Eric said softly, "Because you don't know me, but I know you very well."

"I know what you want, so I'm going to make a deal with you."

"You heard me right, I do know where Sirius Black is."

"And I would like to share this information with you."

Chapter 24 Fudge’s Weakness

Fudge swallowed, no matter how stupid he was, he now understood that Eric had come prepared tonight, and he was here specifically for Fudge.

How could Fudge be a fool if he could be the Minister of Magic.

If it was possible, Fudge didn't want to take Eric's words at all, but the chip Eric threw was too important, so important that even if there was only a slight possibility, Fudge would take a gamble.

There is only one reason why Fudge is so enthusiastic, and that is that Sirius Black is really too special.

In terms of status, during the war, Sirius Black was the backbone of the Order of the Phoenix, and after the rebellion, he was almost recognized as one of Voldemort's lieutenants.

The rest of the dark wizards who were in Voldemort's camp at that time fled to the death. Those who were older than Black were not able to fight him, and those who were older than Black were all dead.

In other words, Black is almost the number two Death Eater in the public eye now.

The only one with his status is Snape, who is now a professor of Potions at Hogwarts.

But Snape was someone Dumbledore personally protected, a spy who endured humiliation and infiltrated the Death Eaters, and was not the same as a traitor like Black.

On the other hand, Blake's strength is also strong enough that a single spell can blow up an entire street.

This blow-up was not a trivial matter like Eric's, but literally destroyed a street with a spell, and killed a dozen people by the way.

Such a vicious Death Eater, the kind that is full of social hazards, no matter who catches him, can usurp great fame for himself.

For officials of the Ministry of Magic, this is also an excellent opportunity for power reshuffle.

In fact, Fudge's grip on the Ministry of Magic was not strong.

He was able to become a minister, a small part was due to elections, and more importantly, it was mainly due to Dumbledore's support.

Among the several ministerial candidates back then, he was the only one who followed Dumbledore's lead wholeheartedly and showed excellent dog-licking skills.

Not to mention, he was able to enter politics so smoothly, and he was inseparable from Dumbledore from the very beginning.

Because of this, Fudge didn't have many people he could trust in the Ministry of Magic, and the people he could use were basically related to Dumbledore.

In the Ministry, the directors of various departments often confronted him, especially Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror Office, who was generally believed to be the next minister after Fudge left office.

If Fudge were to run for re-election, Scrimgeour would be his direct rival.

The reason why Fudge later chose Umbridge as his confidant and sent him to Hogwarts as a professor was not so much because Umbridge liked him, but because Fudge really had no one under his command.

Could it be that Fudge doesn't know what Umbridge is?He can only stand taller than a dwarf.

The only other people he could trust were not even as good as Umbridge.

If Black could be caught, it would be a shot in the arm for the current Fudge, allowing him to greatly improve his situation in the Ministry of Magic where not many people listened to his words.

At the same time, Fudge also saw that it was impossible for Eric to be courteous for nothing, and he gave himself this huge credit for no reason, which only showed that Eric wanted more.

But what if?

What if Eric is really the pie that fell from the sky?

And looking at the calm expression on Eric's face, he was actually serious.

Fudge tried hard to hide his distaste for Eric's attitude, sat down again, looked at Eric and asked, "How do you prove that what you said is true?"

Eric chuckled and said, "Minister, please don't treat me like a child."

"I prove to you the source of the information, which is equivalent to exposing everything I know. There are too many magics to do this. You can follow the clues to find Black based on what I said."

"It's impossible to reveal this kind of thing in advance, not even a little bit. The only choice you have is to accept my conditions or refuse."

"Of course, I am willing to give you time to think about it, or in other words, this waiting process is the proof I can provide."

"What do you mean?" Fudge didn't understand. He stared at Eric's face, trying to find out which organization he was a member of, or the traces of the compound potion disguise, but without exception, all Failed.

Eric said calmly, "There's no way you'll catch Black before Halloween."

Fudge's eyes widened and he said, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Halloween? You're literally dreaming."

"You mean, if I want to hear from you about Black, I have to wait for months?"

"Yes." Eric smiled.

"Ha!" Fudge laughed angrily, "You are simply crazy."

"Let me tell you, Black may have escaped from Azkaban by chance, but he can never survive outside."

"From tomorrow onwards, everyone will read about Black's escape in the newspapers, and there is no way anyone will offer him any help, and he has no wand."

"The way he's been treated is unique. We'll send out all the Aurors, issue warrants, and even report Black's face to Muggles."

"We might even send out Dementors, who hate Black so much they want to give him 1 kisses."

"Don't talk about Halloween, I'm afraid that in two weeks, Black will be captured and brought back to Azkaban."

Eric just smiled at Fudge's words and had no intention of refuting.

Hearing Eric's shocking conclusion, Fudge controlled himself. He looked at Eric with interest and continued: "I'm curious, where does your confidence come from?"

"I have to admit that you are different from other little wizards, but you made a mistake. You think you know me well, don't you? Then you are very wrong."

"You think you can scare me by mentioning Black's name? Then tell me, accept this so-called deal with you, what else can I get besides Black?"

"Why am I wasting my time here?"

In the end, perhaps in order to vent the long-suppressed emotions today, Fudge's emotions became more and more excited,

However, immediately after, he saw Eric open his mouth and say a word silently. He suddenly seemed to be poured over his head by a bucket of cold water, and he felt a heart-warming coolness all over his body.

Although he didn't make a sound, Fudge could clearly see what Eric wanted to express.

Eric's lips opened and closed to form the word "Dumbledore".

Fudge's movements immediately froze, and he slumped in his seat.

Chapter 25 Grindelwald's Mark

"……What's the meaning?"

After a long time, Fudge asked again.

Eric's voice seemed to have a kind of magical power. He spoke lightly, but when it fell into Fudge's ears, it sounded like thunder.

"Black's matter is related to Dumbledore."

"If you are willing to accept my terms, then you may become the real Minister of Magic..."

No one understood the feelings contained deep in his heart better than Fudge himself.

It was a very complex feeling, made up of respect, fear, humiliation and helplessness, and finally evolved into Fudge's deep fear of Dumbledore.

But at this time, this kind of mentality was directly pointed out by Eric, leaving no trace of decency for Fudge.

There was no way Fudge could have believed Eric until he said Dumbledore's name.

Not to mention Fudge, who is the Minister of Magic, even if it was replaced by anyone, he would not be easily persuaded by Eric.

This is also of course.

Who would trust a child who has never met?

Although Eric claims that he has clues about Blake, after all, that hasn't been put in front of Fudge yet, right?
