Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1098: It’s too late
“So, according to that prophecy, Harry and Voldemort will end up killing each other and only one will survive?”
After knowing the contents of the prophecy ball, Sirius stared at Dumbledore in disbelief and said excitedly, “How could Harry defeat Voldemort, how could he do it?”
“You should trust Harry, Sirius,” said Dumbledore calmly.
“Of course I believe Harry, but even… this thing is true…” Sirius took a deep breath, suppressed his irritable and complicated emotions, and asked, “Has Harry already known?” /
“I already told Harry that the boy is braver than you thought,” said Dumbledore with relief.
“Harry has always been brave, just like James!” muttered Sirius. “Lately, Harry’s personality has become a lot more stable, but…you must have a way, right?”
“Don’t worry about Sirius, Harry still has a good chance of defeating Voldemort.” Dumbledore comforted, “I will help Harry as much as possible, give him lessons, teach him some things, but this part needs to be kept secret. .”
“But, I’m Harry’s godfather, so I can help.” Sirius said excitedly, “I can’t…”
“There are some things that need to be kept secret, which is very important.” Dumbledore looked into Sirius’s eyes and said seriously, “Like what I told you about the prophecy, I hope you can also keep it secret, and never let Voldemort I know.”
“I will,” assured Sirius.
“Very good…”
At this moment, Dumbledore and Sirius looked sideways at the fireplace with green flames.
“Dumbledore, the Death Eaters have escaped.”
Tonks came out of the fireplace and said anxiously.
“The Death Eaters escaped?”
When Sirius heard the bad news, he frowned and asked, “How is it possible, in less than an hour, the Ministry of Magic let the group of Death Eaters escape, are they all idiots?”
Tonks was a little embarrassed because she was an Auror at the Ministry of Magic, and the group of Death Eaters who had just been caught had indeed escaped under their noses.
“How did the Death Eaters escape?” Dumbledore asked, sounding very unusual.
“Azkaban’s Dementors have had a massive rebellion, and they don’t plan to continue working for the Ministry of Magic,” Tonks said angrily, “Now that the Ministry of Magic is in chaos, we can only Hastily put the Death Eaters in jail, only to have them slip away from the wizard guarding the prison after a while.”
“The Dementors let the group of Death Eaters go?” Sirius didn’t think there was an Animagus in the group of Death Eaters, and there was a way to escape from prison as an animal like him.
“No, no one knows how those Death Eaters did it. The Ministry of Magic is organizing Aurors to search the whereabouts of the Death Eaters, and there is no result yet.” Tonks said helplessly.
“It seems that they are already prepared.”
Dumbledore vaguely guessed what method the Death Eaters used to get away from Azkaban.
“Connelly Fudge would like to discuss this with you. He is in a panic now, has lost his mind, and doesn’t know what to do.” Tonks said that he came to Dumbledore. The reason, because she was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, so Fudge asked her to deliver news to Dumbledore.
“Maybe, I should go to the Ministry first,” said Dumbledore calmly.
However, even if Fudge now turns to him for help, Dumbledore doesn’t have a good solution at the moment.
After Dumbledore used the Floo network to rush to the Ministry of Magic, Sirius also hurriedly left Hogwarts, contacting Albert through the old ways, hoping to get help from the other party.
Meanwhile, by the time Dumbledore arrived at the Ministry of Magic via the Floo network, the place was already in chaos.
In front of the Golden Fountain, reporters are surrounding Fudge, sending out soul torture again and again.
Led by Rita Skeeter, she was still happy to expose Fudge’s scars, presenting the **** wounds in front of everyone, making Fudge tremble with anger.
When they saw Dumbledore emerge from the flames, the reporters handed over the microphone to Dumbledore, hoping to interview the elderly man who was misunderstood by the entire wizarding world.
“Oh, sorry, I think I might have more important things to do right now.” Dumbledore smiled and turned away the microphones handed by the reporters, walking towards Fudge.
“Mr. Minister, are you finally willing to believe Dumbledore’s words?”
Rita Skeeter asked sharply, “What made you change your mind, is it true that you are back?”
“Yes, he’s back, You-Know-Who is back.” Fudge said wearily, under Dumbledore’s gaze, “It’s a mess right now, I need to hurry now…”
“Mr. Minister, are you planning to take the blame and resign?”
“The Ministry of Magic must act quickly.”
Fudge made no mention of the matter of resignation, reached out and brushed aside the annoying reporters like flies, and walked with Dumbledore towards the minister’s office.
“There is no doubt that our Mr. Minister does not seem to realize the mistakes he has made, and he has no intention of resigning.” Rita Skeeter said to her microphone, “Now everyone is worried about Fudge Is it possible to assume the responsibility of the Minister of Magic at a critical moment, instead of denying, evading, and suppressing it as before. As we all know, Lucius Malfoy, one of the Death Eaters involved in tonight’s action, happens to be Fudge’s good friend, We have to wonder…”
Rita Skeeter’s remarks managed to mislead reporters.
She knew very well that Cornelius Fudge would not be able to continue serving as Minister of Magic anyway.
“What the **** is going on here?”
As soon as the door to the office was closed, Fudge asked in a panic.
Although reluctant to admit it, Fudge knew that Dumbledore was the one most likely to help him clean up the mess right now.
At this moment, Fudge seems to have completely forgotten what he has done in the past year, and still brazenly asks Dumbledore for help.
Actually, he had done that more than once in his early days as Minister of Magic, and it worked.
“There is no doubt that Voldemort is back, and you have wasted a whole year.”
“You’re accusing me…” Fudge couldn’t help shaking when he heard the three words Voldemort, and growled in a low voice, “Can’t you stop mentioning that name?”
Dumbledore knew very well what Fudge was looking for him to do, and said in a nonchalant tone, “It’s too late, as far as I know, Voldemort has already won over the werewolves and giants, and the Dementors are as I expected. , and eventually took refuge with Voldemort.”
Fudge’s mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
However, Dumbledore just glanced at the panicked Fudge before continuing: “When news of Voldemort’s resurrection gets out, many wizards in Knockturn Alley will be willing to follow him.”
“My God!” Fudge couldn’t imagine what was going to happen next.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the minister’s office.
Scrimgeour pushed the door and walked in. He glanced at Dumbledore before saying to Fudge, “We’ve figured out how the Death Eaters escaped, Minister.”
“How did they do it.” Fudge asked hastily.
“The Portkey, although the truth is startling, they did use the Portkey.” Scrimgeour briefly remarked on the Aurors’ latest achievements: “The Aurors have tracked it, but there is no doubt that The escaped Death Eaters were not found.”
“Oh, so it is,” Dumbledore said suddenly.
“You know what’s going on?” Scrimgeour asked, raising his eyebrows. It was a shame to let that group of Death Eaters slip away from under his nose, and he had even forgotten that this was the first time an Auror had become the laughing stock of the wizarding world.
“Last summer, Harry slipped away from Voldemort and the Death Eaters through the port key, and I think the Death Eaters must have prepared the port key in advance,” Dumbledore explained. To be honest, he wasn’t at all surprised that the Death Eaters had escaped, and even if they didn’t, Voldemort would probably have let them out.
“The Aurors are going to their homes to hunt, but there is little hope.” Scrimgeour glanced at Dumbledore and suggested, “If you want to find the hideout of those Death Eaters, I suggest looking for Ai Burt Anderson helped.”
“Albert Anderson?” Fudge asked in confusion. “What to do with him?”
“Albert Anderson is said to be the best fortune-teller in the whole of England, and he should be able to help us find the Death Eaters with ease,” Scrimgeour explained.
“I’m afraid it will be difficult,” Dumbledore said suddenly.
“What?” Scrimgeour and Fudge looked sharply at Dumbledore.
“Mr Anderson is not at Hogwarts, and no one knows where he has gone since the last time.” Dumbledore reminded: “If he doesn’t want you to find him, it’s better to find him than to find Voldemort. It’s more difficult, and I don’t think you can convince him to help you with divination, and even if he is willing to help, he will give you an unacceptable price.”
“Roughly how much?” Scrimgeour asked, frowning.
“About ten thousand Galleons, maybe a little more.” Dumbledore guessed,
“How much?” Fudge’s eyes widened.
“Ten thousand Galleons,” Scrimgeour reminded. “We can use it as a bounty for information, and it’s a cheap price if we can catch the Death Eaters who escaped from prison.”
“Don’t be stupid, a thousand Galleons is still possible, ten thousand Galleons? The Ministry of Magic simply can’t come up with this bounty.” Fudge shook his head, “Especially with so many Death Eater bounties and wanted lists posted. , you should be well aware that the Ministry of Magic simply cannot afford to pay that huge bounty.”
Scrimgeour was suddenly silent.
“Maybe…”
“The Ministry of Magic rejected Black’s bounty,” Dumbledore interrupted, and although he knew that Fudge had used the Time-Turner to negate the bounty, Fudge had no doubt completely forgotten about it.
Dumbledore brought this up just to make them give up, and he knew very well what would happen if the Ministry of Magic tried to use “Righteousness” to kidnap Anderson.
Although Albert has a good temper, it doesn’t mean he won’t get angry.
Dumbledore knows how scary people who are not easy to get angry can be when they are really angry, and sometimes the other party won’t even give you any room for explanation.
The Aurors and Umbridge were but a trivial warning.
After making sure he wasn’t getting the results he wanted, Scrimgeour left quickly, and he had a lot of work to do. After the Dementors evacuated Azkaban, the ancient wizarding prison was thrown into complete chaos. If there is no suppression, the prisoners in that place will surely escape, and the entire magical world will eventually fall into chaos.
“Why is Harry Potter here tonight.” Fudge asked his inner doubts again, “The Hall of Prophecy is messed up, what are you doing in there?”
“Oh, Voldemort let his Death Eaters break into the Department of Mysteries to steal a prophecy about Harry’s relationship with Voldemort, the prophecy from more than ten years ago.” Dumbledore didn’t intend to. Concealing the prophecy ball.
It is estimated that this incident can not be concealed, and Fudge must be given an explanation.
“What does the You-Know-Who want that prophecy ball to do?” Fudge’s eyes widened, unable to understand what Voldemort was doing.
“Maybe, Voldemort wants to find a way to kill Harry from the prophecy.” Dumbledore said softly, “In fact, Voldemort has been planning for more than half a year. If you pay attention, you will find a lot of relevant omens, St. Doggie Podmore, Arthur Weasley being bitten by a viper, Broderick Bird’s death was not an accident, it was a premeditated murder, I think Voldemort was The right way to break into the Department of Mysteries was found with the help of August Rookwood.”
“He made it?” Fudge couldn’t help asking.
“No, he failed. After Harry got the Prophecy Ball, he realized that Voldemort’s goal was the Prophecy Ball and destroyed it.” Dumbledore said with relief, “Harry stopped it again. Voldemort’s conspiracy ~IndoMTL.com~ So, he really is the savior.” Fudge asked in disbelief, he didn’t believe in the so-called savior from start to finish.
“I don’t think Harry would like it.”
“Can he really beat You-Know-Who?” Fudge thought that was absurd, but he also realized that Harry Potter might indeed be the legendary savior.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if Harry is not the savior, as long as everyone believes that Harry is the savior is enough.
In Harry, Fudge saw the possibility of keeping his position.
“I wish he could.”
“Dumbledore, can you arrange for me to meet Harry.” Fudge said expectantly, “I’m going to…”
“Impossible, Connelly.” Dumbledore shook his head. “It’s impossible for Harry to stand up for you since what you did last year.”
“If you’ve listened carefully, you’ll see how much Harry hates the Ministry of Magic, that he’s even planning to throw Dolores Umbridge in Azkaban for the rest of his life. “
“My God, this…” Fudge stuttered, stunned by the news, “But, this…”
“I persuaded you before, but it’s too late.” Dumbledore stood up from his chair, “By the way, you have to get Dolores Umbridge out of Hogwarts, and Got the Aurors to stop investigating my Conservation of Magical Creatures teacher and get him back to work.”
“Is there really nothing I can do?” Fudge asked reluctantly.
“If you do something wrong, you need to take responsibility.” Dumbledore reminded before leaving, “Don’t try to escape, it will only cause you more trouble.”
