Chapter 32: The Ministry of Magic (2)
In the room, silence had been maintained between several people for a long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Holly and Erinka are on vacation, and there is nothing to do, and Fudge will definitely not be able to chase people unless he proposes to leave...... As for Lucius Malfoy, if Fudge still wants to use this gap in the year to do something, then he must not offend him, otherwise, Fudge definitely does not want to continue to be an eraser, and anything that has more negative effects than positive effects will push him out to attract everyone's hatred.
As the minutes passed, the atmosphere in the room became more and more solemn.
It was already work time, and no one came in to Fudge's office, which was supposed to be more lively, and not even any news came in, as if it was cut off from the Ministry of Magic.
Until, a high-pitched voice pretending to be a girl came in from outside.
"What about the minister, what a disappointment in the morning, that old stubborn man with a white beard has ruined my good deeds. Dolores Umbridge's voice came from outside, and at the same time, there was the scene of the office door being pushed open.
Without looking inside the office, Umbridge walked straight to where Fudge was sitting.
What happened next was quite devastating, Umbridge leaned directly on Fudge, and from time to time rubbed Fudge's neck with his flabby face.
Fudge seemed to be able to apply to that, at least, without showing any disgust, and even one hand began to slide up and down Umbridge's body in an irregular manner.
Seeing that a living spring palace seemed to be going on in front of him, Lucius Malfoy had to cough twice to remind Fudge and Umbridge, who seemed to be stuck in their own world.
"Connelly, do you have anyone else here?" Umbridge asked in a sweet voice, and then turned his thick, short neck around him with great effort, and began to survey his surroundings.
Hearing the toad-like woman in pink talk to Fudge in such a coquettish voice, goosebumps fell to the ground on the three people present.
"Oh, Mr. Malfoy. Sorry to bother you, Connelly and I have something to talk about......" Umbridge recognized Lucius, but had no intention of leaving.
"Hmm, what are the two little girls doing here? This is the Minister's office, not a place for you to make games. Holly and Erinka were glamorously ignored by Umbridge.
"Who is this?" asked Holly in a whisper.
"I don't know, but it seems to be a member of the Wizengamot now. ”
"Wizengamot, why didn't I remember such a person before?" Holly thought for a moment, not remembering the existence of such a pink toad.
Erinka didn't reply, just motioned for Holly to look at Fudge on the other side, who was almost on the verge of nibbling with Umbridge.
Holly shrugged, indicating that he knew what was going on.
Without saying much, the three of them came out of Fudge's office in a bit of embarrassment, and heavy gasps and moans were already coming from the room.
"Would you like to go to my place for a drink?" said Holly, inviting Lucius Malfoy.
"Huh?" Malfoy was a little surprised by Holly's reaction, but when he came to his senses, he agreed to Holly's invitation.
Sitting in Holly's big office, it took a while for the three of them to calm down, but they didn't know how to start.
"Lucius, I think maybe you should warn Draco. Erinka began.
"It's not the same thing, but ...... You can also see the situation of Cornelius, this year, the Ministry of Magic is relying on you. Holly said.
"Why, are you relieved to hand over the Ministry of Magic to me?" Lucius asked, a little surprised, his tone teasing.
"At least you still have the idea that you won't be like that guy and make the Ministry of Magic a miasma. ”
"And then?"
"And then, I'm not sure what your plans are, but I have to warn you that Draco should be careful at Hogwarts, the old bees have their own plans. ”
"How do you know?"
"I, I have my channels, and I believe you have too. The Dark Lord must be thinking about what to do, right? Holly teased.
"Not necessarily. ”
"Oh, do you think you can compete with Dumbledore's men now?"
"Isn't there any? How else would Harry Potter be in the taxi courtroom?"
Hearing the evidence Lucius presented, Holly couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
"Alright, Holly. While you did do something, there's no denying that Lucius and the others did have a good plan. Erinka said round.
"That's right, but ...... In fact, this is what Dumbledore expects to happen. Holly added. "If it weren't for Dumbledore's goal as you, you might have succeeded, but it wouldn't have been easy. ”
Lucius Malfoy didn't say much when he heard Holly's teasing, but just memorized these words and prepared to go back and slowly consider what exactly was involved in the leaked news.
"Okay, what's the news on what terms Dumbledore and Fudge have negotiated?" Holly felt that he had already released some of his sincerity, and that Malfoy would need to release his kindness.
"What more do you think Dumbledore can offer?" Malfoy retorted. "The biggest weight in Dumbledore's hand was one thing other than the cocky boy. ”
"Hogwarts?" said Holly and Erinka at the same time.
Lucius nodded.
"Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher?" said Erinka this time. "Looks like Dumbledore has made a lot of money. Could it be that Harry Potter is more important to him than Hogwarts?"
"Maybe that's the case...... The same may be true for the Dark Lord......," Holly answered, then turned his gaze to Lucius.
Lucius Malfoy nodded slowly, agreeing with the rest of Holly's remark about the Dark Lord.
"Isn't it? The two of them ......."
"Dumbledore is already old, maybe he can cover Harry Potter for a year or two, but after two years, if you don't talk about others, I'm afraid Miss Potter won't tolerate his existence, right?" Lucius Malfoy said slowly, and then brought the topic to Holly.
"What Dumbledore needs is a Harry with a clean background and no criminal record to use as a banner......"
