Chapter 135 Umbridge This woman can't do anything

Honestly.

If it wasn't for Dumbledore's negotiation with Grindelwald last year, Cornelius Fudge might not have been so easily persuaded, because the Ministry of Magic has very little guts.

According to Fudge's thoughts.

Since Dumbledore had negotiated with the first-generation Dark Lord Grindelwald to woo Grindelwald against Pettigrew Peter, the third-generation Dark Lord;

then he, the Minister of Magic, and the third-generation Dark Lord The Lord Pettigrew Peter deal, wooing Pettigrew Peter to deal with the second-generation Dark Lord Voldemort, is certainly not a problem.

Once a Dark Lord can be successfully resolved...

The entire magic circle faces the threat of three Dark Lords, Dumbledore negotiated the first one, Fudge himself wooed with a deal The third, worked together to completely solve the second.

Even if Dumbledore asked any questions about it afterwards, Fudge didn't think it could shake his position, because it was something Dumbledore didn't do either!

The most important thing is...

This Dark Lord is sitting right here!
Even if it was to hold Pettigrew Peter steady, Fudge wouldn't dare turn him down at will.

And...

And Philosopher's Stone.

Fudge's eyes were involuntarily drawn to Philosopher's Stone.

In order to keep his image of the Ministry of Magic from being too bad, Fudge forced his eyes not to look at the gem, but looked at Pettigrew Peter solemnly.

"Mr. Peter, before we negotiate a deal, even if it's in our interests to resolve you know who the Dark Lord, I'm impossible against the interests of the Ministry of Magic..."

"How could that be?"

Pettigrew Peter shook the head, spread his arms casually, and chuckled lightly, "I just need Mr. Minister to help me with one thing. Now, and it's just a matter of an unimportant sentence..."

At this point, Pettigrew Peter's voice was slowly lowered, as if what he said was of great importance: "Bring out one of the Azkaban prisoners... "

"A woman."

"A mad woman."

"Bellatrix Lestrange."

"Only this pair Voldemort's loyal Death Eater, help me find Voldemort, and I'll take care of the rest."

"..."

Cornelius ·Fudge subconsciously sighed in relief.

Originally, Fudge thought that Pettigrew Peter would bring up a lot of trouble, and it turned out to be just releasing a prisoner from Azkaban, which was really tricky, but much lower than he expected.

As a qualified politician, Cornelius ·Fudge sighed in relief, his brows furrowed immediately: "To release a Death Eater from Azkaban, we must have a good reason, once this matter If it gets out, I'll be impeached by the members of Wizengamot..."

"But..."

Pettigrew Peter's mouth curled into an unfathomable smile, and he continued in a low voice: " Even Dumbledore would agree with you if it's just a Death Eater in exchange for a complete solution to Voldemort."

Yes.

Dumbledore would definitely approve.

Cornelius Fudge's face was still full of tangle, and he continued softly: "Until then, we must find a plausible reason for Bellatrix's release, such as Sirius Black. Unjustly wronged..."

Fudge's voice came to an abrupt end.

At this time, he seems to have mentioned someone who should not be mentioned.

Sirius Black's unjustly imprisoned secret mastermind is sitting right in front of him!
"There's always a way, right?"

Pettigrew Peter raised eyebrows, opened the mouth with a smile and said: "hehe hehe...it doesn't matter if you sneak someone out, as long as she If you can escape, you will definitely find Voldemort..."

"..."

Cornelius ·Fudge is less stressed.

If this is the case, it is more convenient for him, as long as he is careful, if no one notices Bellatrix, there is basically no big risk.

"It's not easy either..."

Cornelius Fudge's heart was relieved, but he said the difficult words: "Azkaban has never been able to Escape from inside..."

"Minister Fudge."

Pettigrew Peter's mouth twitched and his eyes slowly narrowed: "Actually, I don't mind killing a Ministry of Magic. Master, find the next Minister of Magic to work with."

"I'll try my best."

Fudge quickly let go.

Just now he had always thought that he had negotiated smoothly with Pettigrew Peter, and subconsciously regarded the other party as a politician, even forgetting that the opposite was a brutal Dark Lord!
"In order for the plan to go smoothly..."

Pettigrew Peter slowly repacked the Philosopher's Stone on the table into the parchment bag, opened the mouth softly and said: "Minister Fudge, please stay here for now. Well... let your cronies go and bring Bellatrix Lestrange, Philosopher's Stone and the glory of taking down Voldemort are all yours."

"This..."

Fudge's face Immediately showed some hesitation.

What if Pettigrew Peter broke his promise after his cronies brought people over?
"Don't worry."

Pettigrew Peter seemed to see his concern, lightly said with a smile: "I could actually go to Azkaban by myself and secretly let people out, but I feel this If I let Minister Fudge do it, maybe I can get a sincere partner, because we have a common secret..."

"..."

Fudge's heart suddenly felt tight.

Is this bastard going to use this matter to blackmail him in the future!

Pettigrew Peter tapped the table with his fingers slowly, and continued with a smile: "Don't worry, I didn't mean to blackmail you, the weight of a Minister of Magic is still worthy of recognition..."

"What else do you want to do?"

Fudge's forehead is visibly sweaty.

The Minister of Magic didn't expect himself to be haunted by a Dark Lord!

"I said, don't worry."

Pettigrew Peter's finger lightly rested on the table, opened the mouth and said with a smile: "Future, later, I There will be no entanglement, and the next time will be the last time we work together."

Of course.

The way to work together one last time...

It's certainly not something that Minister Fudge can choose.

"I see."

Cornelius ·Fudge could only choose to believe temporarily, he slowly clicked nodded: "I will give orders to Umbridge to have her come... ”

As a Minister of Magic chief, Fudge must have his own cronies.

Until now, Dolores · Umbridge, who followed him, was Fudge's most trusted subordinate, as Umbridge was as small in guts as he was.

Tell the truth.

Umbridge was delighted to hear the news.

The last time she was promised by Pettigrew Peter to become the Minister of Magic, Umbridge was both scared and happy. She was afraid of being entangled by Pettigrew Peter, but she was also a little happy that Pettigrew Peter could really succeed in the future. , maybe he can also sit in the long seat of Ministry of Magic.

But Pettigrew Peter disappeared for over a year...

Umbridge could only cautiously work by the side of the Minister Cornelius Fudge, as in the past, who also became Wizengamot's Member, at least she's doing well here.

Now Umbridge doesn't know whether to expect Pettigrew Peter to appear in one fell swoop to rule the magic circle, or should he expect Pettigrew Peter to never appear again...

After all, her boss Cornelius · Fudge was nice to her too.

However, things change.

Just as Umbridge knocked on the door of Cornelius Fudge's house, a terrified silhouette slowly emerged from behind the door, who could tell her why Pettigrew Peter appeared at the home of the Minister of Magic !
“hehe hehe…”

Pettigrew Peter’s pointed mouth grinned, seemingly happy to see Umbridge: “Long time no see, Ms. Umbridge.”

"...well...long time no see..."

Umbridge's eyes widened involuntarily, and he quickly and carefully lost his smile: "Mr. Peter, it's really long time no see, really didn't. 't expect to meet you here..."

"hehe hehe...you're so kind."

Pettigrew Peter stepped aside and reached out to invite: "Please, I and I Minister Fudge has been waiting for you for a long time, Ms. Umbridge."

Dolores · Umbridge.

A more suitable pawn than anyone else.

This woman is as timid as a mouse, and once she has someone behind her back, she is extremely arrogant.

The current Minister of Magic, Cornelius ·Fudge, is Umbridge's support, so Fudge ordered Umbridge to go to Azkaban to bring Bellatrix out. Although this woman was a little afraid to go to Azkaban, she still agreed to them.

Perhaps because of the presence of his subordinates, Fudge wanted to maintain his authority. After giving orders to Umbridge, he looked towards Pettigrew Peter: "Mr. Peter, you really have the confidence to completely eliminate mysterious. ...Voldemort?"

"Of course."

Pettigrew Peter sat slowly in his chair, glanced lightly at Umbridge, who was standing beside Fudge, said with a smile : "I've figured out where the rest of Voldemort's Horcrux are..."

When he said this, Pettigrew Peter seemed extremely confident, stretched out his hand and slowly revealed the news: "Lucius Malfoy's house has a notebook, he doesn't know that notebook has long been made into a Horcrux by Voldemort..."

"And the treasure house of the Lestrange family in charge of Bellatrix, but Voldemort has a long time ago. The gold cup was handed over to that mad woman for safekeeping, but unfortunately I made too much noise when I went to pick up Philosopher's Stone, I'll take it out next time..."

"The last one is the House of Black's. A pendant box kept by the house elf Kreacher, as long as these Horcrux can be destroyed, Voldemort will never be resurrected."

"From now on, the entire magic circle will recognize Minister Fudge..."

When talking about this, Pettigrew Peter seemed to glance at Umbridge casually, and chuckled softly: "I was looking for opportunities to work with Ms. Umbridge before, but I observed it once and found that Ms. Umbridge seemed to be something. It's more convenient to work with Minister Fudge if nothing can be done well..."

"Yes, of course."

Umbridge responded with a smile.

This middle-aged woman in pink clothes lowered her head cautiously, and neither of the two people in the room noticed that there was a trace of resentment in the woman's eyes when she lowered her head.

As Umbridge lifts the head again, she still has a flattering smile on her face: "Minister Fudge, Mr Peter, if nothing else, I'll go to Azkaban and bring people to Come here..."

"You go."

Cornelius ·Fudge waved his hand indifferently, while casually responding to Pettigrew Peter's words: "Actually you can't say that, there are some things Umbridge still does what I want..."

Ah, good morning everyone!
