Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Belated Ministry of Magic
Although he had known that he might not get any answers from Alan's side, the cruelty of reality still gave Harry a hard stab.
Even giving it to Alan didn't have any solution, which meant that he didn't know how long he would last in his current state - although Alan suggested that he expend his power to make this strange state disappear, Harry could sense the power of his magic at the moment.
Harry would have been quite happy if it had been a fight, but now...
There was a look of despair in his eyes.
However, despair was only the beginning, not the end - just as Harry was obediently preparing to find a remote place to use a few more spells to drain the power in his body, he suddenly felt the rapid loss of that power.
The illusion on his body quickly became transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the robe that had been obscured by the magic effect was also revealed, and it barely took half a minute for the rather cool dress that had shrouded Harry to come to naught, and Harry was completely restored to his original state.
At this moment, it had only been a little over five minutes since Dumbledore and the others had found Harry...
Alan could understand Harry's despair at this moment - after all, Harry's resentment was almost formed at this moment.
It's only five minutes!
Just five minutes, if Harry had hid for another five minutes, everything would have passed, instead of standing stupidly in place with an embarrassed expression on his face.
In just five minutes, Sirius, the elder with whom he had the closest relationship, Professor Snape, who had the worst relationship with him, Dumbledore, who he respected the most, and Senior Allen, who had always been a teacher and friend, had a clean look at his most embarrassing state...
Feeling silently distressed Harry in his heart, Alan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a comforting tone:
"Don't be discouraged, Harry, think about good things, for example, at least don't worry about being seen by Qiu-san, right?"
However, this sentence did not seem to have the comforting effect that Alan imagined, on the contrary, just after Alan said this, Harry, who was still strong-looking, suddenly wilted like a humanoid eggplant that had been beaten by frost once.
Puzzled, Alan ran to Sirius and asked in a low voice, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, but thank you for the props, Alan, I'll go and comfort Harry. Sirius whispered in response as he walked over with the intimacy of being half elder and half brother.
"Relax, Harry, it's not a big deal, you have to know that you just defeated Voldemort, isn't it? It's something to celebrate, it sounds incredible, but I believe you, compared to this kind of record, a small effort is nothing, even if someone else knows about it, everyone will praise you for your bravery!"
Sirius spoke with great passion, but Harry's mood was not only not high, but more and more depressed.
Just as Harry was down, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in front of him, causing everyone to immediately draw their wands, but it was not Voldemort's gang, but the Minister of Magic, who was surrounded by Aurors.
"Good evening, Albus, I've been in a hurry since I received your letter, no trouble—" Fudge greeted with a hearty smile before he spotted Harry already in the crowd.
"I couldn't be luckier, I'm so happy to see you're okay Harry, you didn't know how anxious I was. Fudge's expression suddenly became quite enthusiastic, and the nervousness on his face that was still a little bit dissipated.
However, Alan bet that his nervousness disappeared not at all because Harry was already safe, but because since Dumbledore and the others had found Harry, he didn't have to face the dangerous battle that could have existed at this moment.
Well, although Azkaban was inferred to be infiltrated by Voldemort, Alan didn't believe that Voldemort would block the way in the Ministry of Magic now, otherwise Alan and they wouldn't have been able to get in, right?
Besides, this big night, the Ministry of Magic has already been off work, and it will take a lot of time to get together such a water of Aurors, if you are really in a hurry, then as for delaying for so long?
However, for the sake of face, Alan should not expose people in person, but Fudge is still the Minister of Magic - besides, although Alan does not know the Aurors, but Dumbledore has a gold medal undercover Kingsley is still a small leader of a group of Aurors, of course, although Alan does not know much about his specific position, but judging from Kingsley's future as the interim minister of the Ministry of Magic, this small boss should be full of gold.
So, Fudge doesn't know what he wants to do for a day - his personal bodyguards are all Dumbledore's people, and if this can be done, probably Kaishen Express will have to charge...
However, at this moment, the Minister of Magic is still full of face, especially under the protection of a group of Aurors, Fudge has quite confidence.
"I'm curious, what just happened, how Harry got brought to Azkaban, and who did it?
Alan turned his head to look at Dumbledore - he couldn't help Harry with this cowhide right now, so he still relied on the headmaster.
Similarly, Harry's eyes for help also looked at Dumbledore, and after the reaction of everyone just now, he already understood how incredible it seemed to be to hang Voldemort to fight in today's magical society, so he felt that he had found the most reliable existence on the field at this moment.
Obviously, this was not an easy problem to solve, and Alan could clearly see Dumbledore frowning.
After a long silence, a heavy expression appeared on Dumbledore's face, and just as he was about to speak, Alan suddenly interrupted the Headmaster.
"Wait a minute, Headmaster, I think this matter is high and needs to be talked to quietly-" Alan interjected abruptly to stifle Dumbledore's words.
If Alan was not mistaken, Dumbledore must have decided to tell the truth.
After all, compared to the return of the Downlander, everything is a trivial matter, even if there is no evidence, the story is ridiculous and terrifying, but Dumbledore still believes Harry's words, and decides to use the power of the Ministry of Magic to limit Voldemort's recovery to the greatest extent.
However, Alan clearly knows that Dumbledore overestimated Fudge's guts, if it is all revealed, it is estimated that the break between the school and the Ministry of Magic is just around the corner, just now Alan thought that Dumbledore would hide the matter a little, but now that Dumbledore is ready to tell the truth completely, then Alan can only do his best to ease the negotiation.
