Chapter 961： Fudge's Resentment

"I think you are probably not up to the job at hand. The transfer notice about you will be received tomorrow at the latest. Now you can pack up and leave."

Fudge glared at the young wizard opposite across the table, indicating that the other party could get out.

The young wizard was stunned, looking at Minister of Magic Fudge in disbelief, never expecting that he would lose this promising job just by telling the truth.

His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but under Fudge's gaze, he finally said nothing, just turned away silently.

Looking at the lonely back of the young wizard leaving, Fudge's mouth twitched into a sneer.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party had been following him for two years, Fudge would have told him to get out of the Ministry of Magic directly, instead of being transferred to the other party.

Yes, the hapless Assistant Minister of Magic lost this promising job because he didn't understand Fudge's mind.

He's very capable, but so what, Fudge needs an assistant who can help him with his problems and troubles, not a fool who's just getting in the way.

What is Dumbledore's need to spread rumors?

He actually put forward the so-called "correct advice" to himself self-righteously. He has been dealing with Dumbledore for so many years. Could it be that he doesn't understand Dumbledore's character?

Don't you know that Dumbledore is not interested in the position of Minister of Magic?

Of course he knows!

Cornelius Fudge knew better than anyone that he could be Minister of Magic because Dumbledore rejected the nomination.

Even as Minister of Magic, Fudge had never forgotten how much prestige and support Dumbledore garnered during the election, just as he had never forgotten how much Crouch was admired at the Ministry.

Fudge was very jealous and hated Crouch, but he was never jealous of Dumbledore, because Dumbledore was never his own rival.

He also needed to use Dumbledore's reputation as Minister for Magic, and the old man was happy to help him.

So, Fudge has always shown respect for Dumbledore, at least on the surface.

Dumbledore's support is very important to him, and it can make the decrees he promulgate quickly get the approval of everyone, because everyone knows these important decrees, he has discussed with Dumbledore, there will be no major problems, and he The political opponents of China will not deliberately jump out to sing the opposite.

Maintain a friendly relationship with Dumbledore and maintain his image in the Ministry of Magic. Even if he sometimes disagrees with some of Dumbledore's decisions, he will choose to keep silent. For example, Dumbledore hired a werewolf as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. . Such a thing would never be permitted by the wizarding world, but Fudge ultimately chose to remain silent.

Well, the main reason is that even if there is an accident, it will not affect Fudge himself. At most, Dumbledore is unlucky because of it, so Fudge did not block Dumbledore.

But this time, Fudge could not tolerate the stupid advice and preventive measures given by Dumbledore, and let Dumbledore say how nice he was, and he would never agree, because this matter already involved his core interests, and it might even He was forced to step down for making this proposal.

Listen, get Azkaban out of the Dementors' control and send a peacemaker to the giants?

God, doesn't Dumbledore know what the Ministry of Magic is going to do with this dangerous horde of dark creatures if the Dementors are driven out of Azkaban?

Let the dementors become the guards of Azkaban, at least the dementors can be controlled by the Ministry of Magic, instead of becoming a big trouble, and the scum in Azkaban prison can also get their due retribution, most of all. The important thing is to maintain Azkaban's deterrent power to the entire British magical world, so that many wizards dare not go too far.

Most wizards who enter Azkaban will leave a shadow in their hearts after dealing with dementors and will subconsciously stay away from Azkaban prison.

"Half of the people know that there are dementors standing guard in Azkaban, so they can get a good night's sleep" is not a false statement, but a reality.

As for sending peace messengers to giants?

That would be even more nonsense, because there is no talk, and it is impossible to talk about it at all.

Simple-minded creatures like giants, if they can negotiate with the Ministry of Magic, the relationship between the two sides will not be so rigid. In particular, they did so many bad things in the last wizarding war, and they were hated by wizards in the entire wizarding world. Dumbledore actually suggested that he send a peace messenger?

To be honest, Fudge never thought that Dumbledore, who has always been known for his wit, would come up with such a stupid idea, and even if he thought about it on his knees, he knew that it was impossible to succeed.

Is this old and confused?

Afterwards, he talked to the other party again, but the two sides still broke down.

As for the resurrection of the mysterious man.

Fudge always thought it was a big joke.

He couldn't imagine how a wizard who had been dead for more than ten years could lift the coffin board and climb out of the cemetery again.

If the mysterious man is really likely to be resurrected, he should have been resurrected more than ten years ago, how could he have been delayed until now?

As for the kidnapping of Harry Potter, Fudge believed it was a Death Eater conspiracy, and it's not surprising that a mad Death Eater would do anything.

Were there less absurd things the Death Eaters did in the First Wizarding War?

Not long ago, they even made a big fuss at the Quidditch World Cup.

Well, let's say there's some very evil black magic that can bring a person back to life, and the mysterious man does come back to life.

But, so what?

If Dumbledore is willing to support him, Harry Potter is willing to support him, and of course Fudge is willing to fight the Dark Wizard, the Death Eaters, and the You-Know-Who, he doesn't even mind having Scrimgeour form an elite team for this matter. Auror Squad.

But this kind of thing has to be kept private, even in the name of targeting the Death Eaters (kidnapping the savior), because once something is exposed, it will immediately cause panic in the entire magic world. Everything that Nian has painstakingly created will be completely destroyed.

To make matters worse, once the news of Voldemort's return is confirmed, the panic-ridden wizards will turn their anger at the Ministry of Magic, at him, the Minister of Magic.

Then, it's time for him to **** off.

Of course Dumbledore can be said to be high-sounding, he is not the Minister of Magic, and he does not need to bear the wrath of wizards. He will always be the greatest and most popular Albus Dumbledore, and he will be great because of the other party. plan to end his career early.

No Minister of Magic would allow such a thing to happen, not to mention that he wasn't in the dark, and Dumbledore had the nerve to accuse him of being too obsessed with office.

Yes, the two didn't fall out over the "Voldemort is back" thing.

If Dumbledore had a better way to fight against the dark forces without causing panic among wizards in the wizarding world, and let him win a good name, Fudge would certainly be happy to accept and actively cooperate with Dumbledore in fighting the dark forces.

Keeping the peace in the wizarding world is important to Fudge, because the next election is not far away (every seven years), and even if he does eventually retire, these bad things will not fall on his head.

The two sides are clearly at odds over the handling of the matter.

Fudge had to suspect that Dumbledore planned to pull him down and replace him with a tough new minister?

If everyone believed in Dumbledore, this was bound to happen.

In order to deal with You-Know-Who, Dumbledore may even serve as Minister of Magic himself, taking the entire Ministry of Magic to deal with the dark forces.

Well, he knows that Dumbledore is probably unlikely to be the new Minister of Magic, but that doesn't stop him from changing to a tough guy like Barty Crouch as Minister of Magic and taking a "fighting poison" approach to dealing with dark wizards .

Fudge knew very well that Dumbledore would not give up easily.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Fudge to receive the news that Dumbledore announced the resurrection of Voldemort to the teachers and students of the school!

When Fudge learned of this, he was almost mad. The students at Hogwarts knew it, which meant that most of the entire wizarding world would know about it.

This made him even more convinced that Dumbledore wanted to pull him down.

Fudge knew he had to fight back and do something to convince others that Dumbledore was confused, or the wizarding world would be a mess.

Fudge quickly figured out a way. He used the influence of the Daily Prophet to launch an article to clarify that "Voldemort has returned" was a lie, and to stab the advice and precautions that Dumbledore gave him. to the Daily Prophet.

It turns out that Dumbledore's proposal is so stupid that Fudge didn't even bother to slander and slander the other party, and he succeeded in making everyone feel that Dumbledore was really old and really confused.

Yes, making these suggestions, what is it that is not old-fashioned?

As for the famous Harry Potter, Fudge naturally couldn't let the other party cause trouble for him, so Fudge decided to use Rita Skeeter's article to lead everyone to believe that Harry's scars have long-term negative effects on his mental health , and suggested that everyone Harry may have hallucinations because of the brutal torture of Death Eaters.

In doing so, Harry became an unreliable witness.

Who will believe him?

At least, wizards who don't want to believe that Voldemort is back will.

As for the identities of those Death Eaters that Harry Potter said were returning to Voldemort?

If there is no real evidence, they cannot be sentenced at all, but it will bring a lot of trouble to themselves.

Of course Fudge knew that some people were suspicious, but as long as they didn't come out and cause trouble and were not caught by others, Fudge didn't want to care about them at all, he just wanted to end his term in peace.

And, if all those rich pure-blood wizards were caught, who would give generously to a good cause?

Do you count on Weasley?

The dismissal of the assistant was a relief, but Fudge soon ran into trouble.

Looking at the heavy work in front of him, Fudge couldn't help frowning. He needed an excellent assistant to help with the work at hand.

In fact, he was still optimistic about the young man from earlier, but unfortunately his mind was unclear.

Looking at the document about Barty Crouch in his hand, Fudge picked up a quill and signed his name on it, officially announcing that the investigation on Crouch was officially over.

"Crouch's assistant seems to be a very capable young man?"

Fudge put down the document, reached out and rubbed his forehead, his eyes fell on the profile of Percy Weasley, the young man who performed well during the period when Crouch was "crazy", which is also No one noticed the reason for Crouch's problem.

Fudge planned to meet the young man, and if the young man was willing to be loyal to the Ministry of Magic, it would be a good choice.

He knew that Arthur Weasley had a good relationship with Dumbledore, and it would be even better if he could spy on the Weasley family through Percy Weasley and get some information about Albus Dumbledore through the Weasley family. All right.

It didn't take long for the door to the Minister of Magic's office to be knocked on, and a somewhat uneasy Percy Weasley walked in.

"A lot of things have happened recently." Fudge looked at the young man in front of him, organized his words a little and said, "Dumbledore thinks that the mysterious man has been resurrected again, and he also made some unrealistic suggestions like me."

"Yes, I also think it's very unreasonable." Percy was a little confused at first, but he quickly reacted and immediately echoed, "The existence of dementors can effectively deter domestic dark wizards, and Azkaban also There are a lot of dangerous Death Eaters, and once the dementors are driven away, I am afraid there will be problems immediately, and other wizards will definitely not agree to drive away the dementors. As for winning over the giants, I don't think this will be successful. It's a complete waste of effort."

"Everyone thinks so," said Fudge helplessly. "Dumbledore also claimed that You-Know-Who is back."

Percy hesitated for a moment, and followed Fudge's thoughts. "Dumbledore seems to be confused. If he can't produce favorable evidence, he will definitely not be able to convince others. I'm afraid no one in the magical world will want to believe his words."

"I think you should get the news." Fudge said helplessly, "The entire magical world is in panic because of his irresponsible remarks, and spreading the news of the mysterious man's return without any evidence is completely deliberately causing trouble. Recently I've gotten more shouting letters."

"You can consider reducing Dumbledore's influence on the magical world first." Percy hesitated for a moment and suggested, "Through the Daily Prophet."

Fudge looked Percy up and down, and suddenly said, "I heard that Dumbledore has reorganized his extraordinary organization again, it seems to be called... the Order of the Phoenix. Yes, it is called the Order of the Phoenix, and he seems to have invited your father to join."

"I don't know about it, my father didn't bring it up at home," Percy said immediately. "But I think my father is loyal to the Ministry of Magic."

A while ago, Fudge lost his temper and made it clear that anyone who had anything to do with Dumbledore could no longer stay in the Ministry. Naturally, Percy didn't dare to talk nonsense, so as not to cause his father to lose his job.

"My former assistant is no longer up to the job, are you willing to take his job?" Fudge said suddenly, "The investigation on Barty Crouch is over, it's really not your problem, the others I think you're very capable."

"Of course I will, and I will always remain loyal to the Ministry of Magic."

Although expected, Percy Weasley was stunned by an unspeakable joy, and he could not help clenching his fists and immediately swore his loyalty to Fudge.

Percy could probably guess how Fudge's former assistant lost the job.

"I need you to pay attention to your family's situation. If they join the so-called Order of the Phoenix, I need you to help me find out what Dumbledore wants to do, lest he make another big mess." Fudge said angrily, "Even if he wants to deal with the dark forces, it's not what he does. It's just walking around in panic, because he spreads about the resurrection of mysterious people. Now many departments of the Ministry of Magic are working overtime for this."

"No problem, I'll help pay attention to these problems." Percy agreed immediately.

However, no one knew what Percy was thinking.

"Very good, you can come to work tomorrow, do it well, I am very optimistic about you." Fudge praised a few words casually.

"Thank you Minister, I will." Percy left the Minister's office excitedly.

"What an ambitious and intelligent man."

Fudge didn't care what Percy was thinking, he just needed the young man to understand what he meant and help him do things well.

"It should be easier tomorrow."

Fudge picked up another document and frowned slightly.

Albert Anderson helped the Ministry catch Barty Crouch Jr., but... what reward should the Ministry give him?

Scrimgeour threw the big trouble straight at him. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

This displeased Fudge, but he soon learned why.

If it's a normal situation, just follow the rules.

If Barty Crouch Jr has a bounty, just give the bounty to the other party. If there is no bounty, there will be no bounty, but... Fudge stared at the gorgeous and tingling profile attached to it, It suddenly dawned on Scrimgeour that he had thrown this matter directly at him.

To be honest, this more detailed investigation really surprised Fudge, who had never imagined that a Muggle wizard could do this.

There are a lot of titles, and there are countless auras of glory. There are also a lot of famous wizards who keep in touch and have a good relationship, and they are not limited to the United Kingdom, but also Europe. He also has a strong fighting ability (the dead Barty Crouch Jr. can testify), he is simply an enhanced version of Dumbledore in his youth, and to make matters worse, he also has a strong influence on the Ministry of Magic. force.

Fudge hadn't forgotten the last time Wizengamot forced his way through and gave him the title.

The matter of Barty Crouch Jr. was forcibly suppressed by him, not to mention the bounty, not even the praise.

If it's an ordinary wizard, it doesn't really matter to do so.

But... that guy is not ordinary at all, so this matter can't end like this.

"It's a real headache."

Fudge knew he had to compromise on something.

"Damn, is that guy really human?"

Fudge felt that he had seen a more terrifying fellow than Dumbledore, if he were on Dumbledore's side.

He couldn't help shivering, not daring to think what was going to happen.
