As the agency that manages all wizards in the country, the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Magic are still very strict.
According to regulations, there are fixed procedures for outsiders to enter the Ministry of Magic to work.
Visitors must come to a red phone booth, state their purpose of coming to the Ministry of Magic, and obtain permission before entering.
In the past, Dumbledore would not have been special.
But today, Lao Deng’s heart is full of anger, as if he has returned to the age of 80 or 90 years ago, when he had a hot temper, and how could he care about going through the procedures?….
In the hall on the eighth floor of the Ministry of Magic, figures flashed and wizards and wizards hurried.
In the middle of the hall, there is a huge magic fountain, which is the most famous landscape of the Ministry of Magic, the Magic Brothers Fountain.
The fountain was made of pure gold. Wizards and wizards stood at the top, holding their wands high. Surrounding them were centaurs, house elves and goblins, looking at them in admiration.
Of course, this is only the ideal social form of wizards. Except for house elves, the other two creatures do not have such respect for wizards.
A large ball of fire suddenly appeared next to the fountain, startling the people around it.
Several strikers and Aurors guarding the place immediately drew out their wands, and were stunned when they saw Dumbledore appear.
“Principal Dumbledore?”
There is no one in the whole UK who does not recognize the old wizard in front of him.
Dumbledore’s face was as dark as water and he did not respond. Instead, he glanced around and then named him:
“Kingsley, is Fudge still in the ministry?”
“Here I am.”A tall black wizard nodded blankly.
Dumbledore turned and left.
“etc!”Another wizard stopped him,”Deng, Dumbledore, this is against the rules, isn’t it? You haven’t declared it yet, and you’ve illegally disapparated in.”…”
Dumbledore stopped and turned back to look at the person who spoke expressionlessly.
The man swallowed and couldn’t say what he said next.
The surroundings also fell silent.
Seeing that Lao Deng looked like he was not to be trifled with, any fool knew that something must have happened. The man who just stopped him also regretted it and didn’t know what to do now.
“Dumbledore?”
Fortunately, a voice came to his rescue at this time. Crouch walked out of the elevator and noticed something was wrong when he looked at the strange atmosphere in front of him.
“Barty.”Dumbledore also nodded.
“You came just in time. I have been looking for you recently. About…”Cratchit walked to him
“Barty.”Dumbledore interrupted him:”I have something very important to see Fudge now.”
“Then I’ll accompany you, I can’t let you go today.”
Crouch’s attitude is very firm. The things that Wayne asked him to do have made considerable progress. After receiving letters and commitments from the Ministry of Magic of the United States and Sakura, Fudge has begun to waver. Now there are only
250 left to figure out the identity. The host’s Hogwarts, this matter is almost the same.
“Fine.”Dumbledore nodded helplessly.
“Mr. Crouch, Dumbledore hasn’t registered yet.” Kingsley Shacklebolt reminded
“What to register? Crouch frowned:”This is my guest, please don’t worry about it.””
With his words, the wizard responsible for guarding and maintaining law and order breathed a sigh of relief……….
Crouch took Dumbledore to the first floor below.
There are only two departments on this floor: the minister’s office and the logistics department.
Along the way, Crouch also asked Dumbledore why he was in such a hurry to find Fudge, but he was put off.
Seeing them appear, a witch wearing a pink coat came up to her. Her face was broad and slack, like a pink toad.
“Headmaster Dumbledore, it’s great to see you here.”The woman said in a sweet and greasy voice.
“Umbridge, Dumbledore is here to see Fudge. Crouch spoke up.
Umbridge covered her mouth in feigned surprise:”I remember that I don’t seem to have an appointment for you today. The minister is currently receiving distinguished guests. If you don’t mind, please wait a moment.””
Crouch looked at her in disbelief.
Is this woman crazy?
When did Dumbledore need to make an appointment to see Fudge?
In the past, Fudge had to go to Hogwarts to find him, okay?
“Who are you?”Dumbledore looked at Umbridge. He really had no impression of this student in his mind.
“Dolores Umbridge.”Umbridge said in a cooing voice:”A senior official of the Ministry of Magic.”
Dumbledore snorted noncommittally.”Is there any more senior officials?”
The disgusting smile on Umbridge’s face suddenly solidified.
“That’s Fudge’s assistant.”Crouch’s mouth twitched, but he still explained.
“You go in, I’ll deal with him”
“Thanks Barty.”
Dumbledore nodded in greeting, then ignored Umbridge and walked straight to the door of the minister’s office.
Umbridge tried to stop him, but Crouch held him back.
“It’s not your job,’ senior official’”
Umbridge’s face turned green and white.
The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Fudge, who was talking to someone, was very surprised.
“Albus, why are you here?”
The guest in the office was also a familiar face.
Lucius Malfoy raised his chin frivolously:”Dumbledore, you lack basic respect for the Minister of Magic. You barged in without even knocking on the door. Do you think Is this your principal’s office?”
Lucius Malfoy has nothing important to do here. He is just here for daily communication.
This is the way the Malfoy family survives. They use money and the prestige of a pure-blood family to win over senior officials of the Ministry of Magic and weave a huge protective shield. net
“Lucius, Albus is my friend, of course he doesn’t have to knock on the door when he comes.”Fudge quickly tried to smooth things over, but Dumbledore didn’t appreciate it at all.
“Lucius, I need to take up some of Connelly’s time, please get out now.”
Lucius Malfoy instinctively wanted to explode, but when he saw Dumbledore’s calm eyes, he turned into a roar.
“Get out, get out!”
After that, he stood up and left angrily.
Fudge looked at Dumbledore awkwardly, wondering what was wrong with him.
This blank expression made Dumbledore even more angry.
Such a big thing happened, and you are… Why doesn’t the Minister of Magic know this?
“Connelly, why didn’t the Ministry of Magic restrain the dementors? They broke into the school and almost killed a student!”
Lucius, who had just reached the door and was about to turn the door handle, froze in his movements and hurriedly ran to the two of them with a nervous look on his face:
“Dementors entered the school? How about Draco? Is he okay?”
Dumbledore looked at the anxious Lucius and did not chase him away.
Two minutes later, Fudge and Lucius finally knew the complete story.
Before Fudge could speak, Lucius was the first to explode.
“Minister Fudge! Is this how you manage dementors?”
“My son is still competing. If anything goes wrong, can you bear this responsibility?”
“Those bastards must pay a price, and remove all the dementors quickly, otherwise I will unite other families to go to the Wizengamot to demand an explanation!”
“That’s right.”Dumbledore suddenly felt a lot better.
This seemed to be the first time that he and Lucius were on the same side. Even he himself did not expect that this day would come.
“And you!”Dumbledore was still too happy. Lucius, who sprayed Fudge with a face full of ecstasy, pointed the cannon at him again.
“As a principal, you were not in school when such a big thing happened?”
“You weren’t here when Blake sneaked into the castle not long ago, right?”
“Dumbledore, if you don’t want to be the headmaster, there are many people who want to be!”
At this moment, there was only one thought in Dumbledore’s mind.
Young man…Quite courageous……
Half an hour later, Fudge finally calmed down the anger between the two of them and gave them a proper way to deal with it.
First of all, the Ministry of Magic will not pursue the hundreds of dead Dementors, but will prohibit Wayne from actively approaching the Dementors in the future.
If Wayne continues to kill, Azkaban will almost have no dementors to guard it.
As for the remaining Dementors, the Ministry of Magic will send a team of Aurors to control them, and at the same time return to Azkaban in batches to ‘eat’ to ensure that nothing like this happens.
Ultimately this time, the Ministry of Magic ignored the Dementors’ needs.
If they were willing to send a few wizards to negotiate with the dementors, they wouldn’t have gotten to this point.
As for apology and compensation, that is impossible.
Dumbledore has made Fudge very embarrassed by making such a fuss today. If he continues to pay compensation, he will be scolded to death by the people below.
“Connelly, I don’t want this to happen again.”Dumbledore expressed his attitude and left, and Lucius followed him.
After the two went out, the smile on Fudge’s face disappeared instantly and his fists clenched.
Dumbledore…
An invisible rift appeared between Fudge and Dumbledore. This incident made Fudge realize again that too many people did not take him as a minister seriously………
Outside the door, seeing Lucius and Dumbledore appear, Umbridge immediately greeted them with a sweet smile.
“mr malfoy…”
“Dumbledore.”Lucius didn’t look at him at all, but warned Dumbledore:”Take care of my son, otherwise you will be in big trouble.”
After that, he walked into the elevator angrily.
“Thanks for the reminder, Lucius.”Dumbledore replied calmly, ignoring Umbridge and coming to Crouch’s side.
“You just said that you have something to find, how about we go to your office to talk?”
“That couldn’t be better.”
Umbridge was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
What she hated most was that others looked down upon and ignored her, but today the three people all regarded her as a transparent person and didn’t care at all.
“When I take the position of Minister of Magic, I must take revenge!”
Looking at the empty corridor, Umbridge swore viciously.
On the other side.
Dumbledore followed Crouch to his office on the fifth floor.
“Barty, what on earth is making you so anxious?”
Crouch motioned for Dumbledore to sit down and asked his assistant to leave the office. He then came to the opposite side of Dumbledore.
“How have you considered the expansion of the Triwizard Tournament?”
“Ilvermorny and the Magic Institute have agreed to provide financial support and will send professors to assist with the preparations. The Ministry has basically approved it, and now we just need your opinion.”
Dumbledore was a little embarrassed.
“Batty…This matter is not something I can decide alone.”
“Maxim and Karkaroff have both agreed.” Crouch interrupted him.
“This is a good thing, it benefits everyone”
“Magic schools on other continents have an increasing need for exchanges, and Hogwarts also needs to consolidate its reputation as a millennium college.”
“What else do you have to hesitate? Is it because you have no confidence in your students?”
“of course not.”Dumbledore immediately denied it.
Even if you don’t count the existence of Wayne, who is outside the common sense, he also believes that his students are the best.
It’s just that…
Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, looked at Crouch’s anxious look, and asked the question he was most concerned about:
“Barty, why do you care so much about the Triwizard Tournament?”
“Because I want to climb up.
Crouch said calmly:”To me, this is political achievement, and it is my trump card for running for election next time.””
The eyes of the two met like this, and Crouch made no secret of his ambition.
Only when his position is higher and higher, he will be more useful to Wayne, and in this way he will be more certain to exchange for a resurrected one. Chance
“The Goblet of Fire will only select three champions.”Dumbledore said softly.
To be honest, he doesn’t want to put too much energy into the Triwizard Tournament now.
If there is no threat from Voldemort, he would not mind holding a grand event to let students learn more about magic from other countries. College exchanges are also beneficial to their growth
���The more people there are today, the more likely it is that problems will arise.
Voldemort and Tom were like two cold snakes, staring at Hogwarts and Harry in the dark.
“Goblet of Fire isn’t a problem at all.”
Crouch took out a suitcase from under his feet. After opening it, a golden ornate wine glass lay quietly inside.
“This is the replacement I found. The Triwizard Tournament is obsolete. Now is a new era. What do you think about calling it the Holy Grail War?”
Dumbledore picked up the Holy Grail.
For a long time, his eyes became very solemn.
“this cup…Where did you find it?”
“I didn’t find it. Crouch said softly:”Mr. Lawrence asked me to pass this on to you. At the same time, he also asked me to say hello to you.””
Dumbledore looked up in shock………
Hogwarts.
Wayne is surrounded by little badgers, all of whom want to learn the Patronus Charm.
Cedric wanted to hug his thigh like before, but this time Wayne didn’t give him a chance and hung him on the wall directly.
Looking at the pairs of longing eyes staring at him, Wayne also had a headache.
He doesn’t have time to open a cram school for patron saints. Even if he has time, he has no interest in it.
“You can go to Professor Lupine, he can do this magic too”
“Really? Hannah was a little suspicious:”Professor Lupine has never used this spell before, and he didn’t show up at the stadium today. How did you know?””
“Last time on the train, he was ready to use the Patronus Charm to drive away the Dementors, but I beat him to it.
Wayne said:”As long as you make a request in class, he will definitely not refuse.””
“How can I have so much time to teach so many people? Everyone should leave.”
Wayne persuaded the little badgers to leave, and then put Cedric down.
The model student rubbed his sore waist:”Wayne, you are too cruel.”
“Who told you to hug someone’s lap at every turn? Who did you learn to be so shameless from?”Wayne glanced at him sideways.
“Don’t I want to learn the Patronus Charm?”
“Go to the library to find information on your own, or ask the professor if you don’t know how. Seeing Wayne about to go out, Cedric quickly followed him,”Where are you going?””
“make money”…….
Harry was the worst victim of the Dementors’ sudden attack. His Nimbus Two Thousand fell from a height of fifty feet and broke in half.
And Wayne is the biggest winner.
The original energy of the students’ patron saint brooches has almost dissipated. After watching a game, they basically need to buy them again.
After seeing the powerful performance of the Star Casting Dragon King’s patron saint, many students who originally didn’t care about the patron saint brooch became enthusiastic.
The hundreds of coins in stock were quickly snapped up by the young wizards. Pure-blood young masters like Malfoy also asked him to customize enhanced versions. It seemed that the dementors today really scared them. the next day.
Dumbledore finally returned to school after being away for many days.
And the first thing he did after coming back was to get scolded.
