You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, and in the same way, you can't persuade a guy who even lied to himself.

After all, trust doesn't need any excuses, and if you don't, no amount of excuses can be found—according to the level of falsification in the wizarding world, no amount of evidence can be considered an illusion, not even memories and truth potions.

Awake wizards even have the ability to convert swallowed potions into other substances before the elixir takes effect (Rowling's original explanation), and memories are even more unreliable, Voldemort relied on a false memory to get his own uncle into Azkaban, and Dumbledore had to bring back Horace Slughorn, the Potions professor of the year, because of a crucial false memory, to give Harry a task to retrieve that memory.

The arena of the battle - sorry, fake, given Dumbledore's magical abilities, it was fairly easy to get this thing out in a short period of time.

All in all, when Fudge made the decision that he no longer trusted and deceived himself, all the evidence could find an excuse to be proven false – and it was as simple as that.

Alan had thought that using worm tails as lube might alleviate this serious problem a little, but now it seemed that he was wrong.

Compared to the fact that Wormtail's escape from prison caused the Ministry of Magic to be blamed by the masses, Voldemort's return is a complete change in the current state of the entire wizarding world.

As the time of transition from peace to war coincided with the revelation of Voldemort's existence, the wizarding world needed a tough leadership - and the image that Fudge had maintained over the years clearly did not fit that need.

Just like the guys in Munich, it would be nice to be able to fool yourself or the people below you – you have to admit that sometimes things that seem almost impossible to happen do happen, like now.

Just as the return of Voldemort, which had been confirmed after Cedric's death, was not recognized, this even more incredible story is now unacceptable.

All in all, everything was fake, it couldn't exist, it was all made up by Harry, and it wasn't even the kind that was fabricated with care.

"Well, that's enough, Dumbledore, if that's what you mean by talking privately, then I don't think there's any point in continuing to talk about it - now that the negotiations are over, you should get out of here. ”

Leaving no room for negotiation, Fudge casually cut through the soundproofing magic and walked towards the group of Aurors.

The talk fell apart.

To Allen's surprise, Dumbledore did not tell Fudge what he should have done, nor did he strongly say that Hogwarts was going to part ways with Fudge - this was completely inconsistent with Alan's memory, as if Dumbledore felt that Fudge was hopeless.

Before a few of them could say anything about the issue, Fudge was already impatient to ask the Aurors to let Alan and them leave, although it was obvious that the Auror had a lot of respect for Dumbledore, but he politely persuaded Alan and the others to leave under the pretext that the island needed to be checked.

After being dragged back to Hogwarts by Dumbledore, Harry stomped his foot in anger, "I thought he would understand - I always thought he was a kind man, only occasionally a little domineering, but he turned out to be such a stubborn guy!"

"It's normal, Harry, filthy pure-bloods and politics - if you know that Fudge gets a lot of political donations from the Malfoy family every year, you know what kind of person Fudge is, and the other more powerful purebloods also donate so much money to the Ministry of Magic every year, otherwise why do you think their disregard for the law in some small places will be easily exposed by the Ministry of Magic?"

Sirius said in a disdainful tone that the Black family was considered to be a very high status among purebloods, and he knew very well about these power-for-money transactions - just as Lucius Malfoy could still be forgiven even if he blackmailed a bunch of school directors and tried to use Voldemort's legacy to destroy the normal teaching environment of the school, those purebloods who donated a bunch of money always had some privileges of one kind or another.

"But, but, it's clear that those Dementors have betrayed the existence of the Ministry of Magic - according to their detection, they haven't found us fighting as fiercely on the island, isn't that a strong proof of sin!"

"Fudge won't let those Dementors go, that would cause panic in that damn prison," Sirius said in a disdainful tone, ending his explanation with a sound from his nose, before turning to look at Dumbledore, "Headmaster Dumbledore, what do we do now?"

Well, at the most dangerous time, Dumbledore had a role comparable to that of Yuan Fang.

Moreover, compared to the unreliable Yuan Fang's opinion, Dumbledore's decision-making can often play a crucial role - as a hundred-year-old senior who has seen ups and downs, Dumbledore has not yet reached the age of old confusion.

"It's not the most dangerous time yet - I was well prepared for Voldemort's return, but what Harry told me gave me a new judgment that Voldemort didn't regain his strength when he returned, and that he was even far less powerful than before, and that he might be better dealt with than he was in a ghost state. Dumbledore was silent in his office for a long time before he said this to Allen, and it was clear that he had thought about it very seriously.

"I have to thank Harry - if it weren't for his efforts, Voldemort would have completed all his rituals and stood before us intact. Dumbledore looked at Harry softly and said, "The more complex the spell, the greater the mutation when it is affected, and according to Harry's new statement, Voldemort's newly acquired body is on the verge of collapse at this moment, even worse than his previous ghost state, because at least he doesn't need to worry about his fragile body at any time." ”

"I'm sure it takes a little more to undo those negative effects than it does to resurrect him—" Dumbledore began to rummage through his desk, his tone unhurried, "It's like when we're boiling a pot of potions, and if any impurities appear, you'll find that it takes even more time and effort to magically improve the purity of potions than it does to boil another pot." ”

"So," Dumbledore finally picked out a map from the table and spread it out across the table, "these are the places where Voldemort might be when he escaped now, and we can try to kill him again now." ”

There are more than a dozen small circles densely drawn on the map, one of which Alan is super familiar with - Tom Riddle's House.

People always like to hide in some familiar places when they encounter danger, obviously, this is a picture of Dumbledore's years of teeth on Voldemort's behavior, if Alan guessed correctly, similar to an orphanage, Voldemort's grandfather's house and other places should also be in the small circle.

This made him, who was not very confident in the arrest operation, come to his senses - it is good to catch a squirrel if he can't hit a rabbit.
