Chapter 895: Increasing Trouble
It's a shame that we can't film this scene, otherwise it will definitely be the front page headlines tomorrow. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Evan was thinking about having a dedicated videographer for Rita Skeeter, as she had done in the Daily Prophet before, where a good photo could be the finishing touch to a story and more likely to attract the reader's attention.
As long as she is given an extra gold Galleon every month, Rita will definitely have the right person in her hands.
Fudge and Umbridge hurried away, and Rita Skeeter chased after him.
She kept asking questions about the trial, and she didn't intend to let Fudge go so easily.
The others nodded to the three of Evan from time to time as they passed by, but many others looked away.
The expression seemed to just think of Avan, Harry, and Mr. Weasley as part of the wall.
Percy was the last to leave the courtroom, and when he came out, the atmosphere in the hallway was the most awkward.
He glanced at Mr. Weasley, his face expressionless, a large roll of parchment and a handful of spare quills in his hand, his back straight, his nostrils facing the sky, and he strode over.
The lines around Mr. Weasley's mouth tightened, and there was no sign of seeing his third son.
"We should tell you the good news, they must be anxious up there!" said Mr. Weasley, motioning for Evan and Harry to move forward as Percy's heel disappeared onto the staircase leading to the ninth floor, "By the way, Avan, I know you've been hiring Rita Skeeter to write for the newspaper lately, but you'd better stay away from that woman, she's only a rumor-monger." She's been in a lot of trouble over the years, and half of the work of the entire Ministry of Magic has been done for her......"
"I'll keep an eye out!" said Aven, "and we review her articles strictly before publication." ”
That being said, Rita Skeeter's scale is well mastered.
She knows how to read between the lines without leaving crucial evidence.
Even if the whole article is crossing the line and talking nonsense, there is no way for people to say anything.
As for whether she is spreading rumors or whether she will cause trouble, as long as she doesn't say it on her side, Evan doesn't care.
As things stand, with Rita Skeeter here, Fudge will have some scruples, and that's enough.
"It's good that you know for yourself. Mr. Weasley said, walking up the steps, "I'll show you around the ministry in a moment, and then I'll send you back, and I'll dare to dispose of that dumpster......
"What are you going to do with it?" Harry asked with a grin.
All of a sudden, everything seemed five times more fun than usual.
When he was acquitted, he felt much better, and he was finally able to relax and visit the Ministry of Magic.
"Oh, it couldn't be easier with just a spell against evil. As they went upstairs, Mr. Weasley said, "It's nothing to fix something that's broken, it's mainly the attitude behind the vandalism, some wizards may find it fun to play tricks on Muggles, but it may express something deeper and uglier, and I as a ......"
Mr. Weasley stopped in the middle of his sentence, and they had just reached the corridor on the ninth floor when they saw Umbridge directing two wizards to drive Rita Skeeter out, seemingly on Fudge's orders.
Fudge himself stood a few paces away from them, whispering to a tall man.
The man had oily blonde hair and a pointed white face.
Hearing their footsteps, the tall man turned his face.
He stopped before he could finish his sentence, narrowing his cold gray eyes and staring at Evan and Harry's faces.
"Alright, alright, Patronus Potter and Mason the Star of Hope!" Lucius Malfoy said coldly, with ironic emphasis.
Harry suddenly felt breathless, as if he had stepped into something solid.
He looked at the other man angrily, he couldn't believe that Lucius Malfoy would dare to look at him in person, he couldn't believe that Malfoy was here, in the dignified Ministry of Magic, and Cornelius Fudge was talking to him, like his best friend.
You know, they had told Fudge a few weeks earlier that Malfoy was a Death Eater.
Beside Harry, Evan frowned at Malfoy, the last time he had seen these two cold grey eyes, they were hidden behind two slits in the Death Eater's hood, and he had apparitioned himself to the gloomy graveyard to renew his allegiance to his old master.
Lucius Malfoy is a very cunning person, his personality and the status and wealth of the Malfoy family are absolutely that he will not be completely loyal to anyone, and he will not really put Voldemort's interests first like those crazy people, he will always have his own plans.
In other words, he was one of Voldemort's camps to fight for.
In Aven's opinion, he can actually cooperate with Malfoy, and there is no fundamental difference between the two parties.
Of course, Malfoy had to be extra careful when dealing with him, he was far more troublesome than Rita Skeeter.
At least Ai Wen currently has nothing in his hands that can impress the other party.
However, after he figured out the attitude of Voldemort towards the Malfoy family when he returned, Evan believed that he still had a chance, and Voldemort would definitely not easily bypass Malfoy, who destroyed one of his Horcruxes.
He would keep this incident firmly in his heart, and then let them send the family to death little by little......
By the time Malfoy understood all this, it was the moment when he was betrayed by Voldemort without hesitation.
"The Minister just told me how you got away with it, Potter!" said Mr. Malfoy, his grey eyes fixed on Harry, "it's amazing that you keep coming out of very narrow holes, honestly, like a snake." ”
Mr. Weasley grabbed Harry's shoulders tightly and warned him not to act rashly.
"yes. Harry said, taking a deep breath, "yes, I'm good at escaping. ”
Immediately, Lucius Malfoy raised his gaze and turned to Aven.
"Look at your companion, Potter, if I were you wouldn't let a Mudblood stand next to you. He said slowly.
"If I were you, Mr. Malfoy, I wouldn't be standing here at a leisurely pace. Evan said, smiling upward.
He decided to give the other party a wake-up call, a little stimulation by the way, and it would be better if he could speed up Malfoy's defection.
Speaking of which, this is a good opportunity, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to get in touch with the other party.
Just a few words can add some deadly trouble to Voldemort and Lucius, which is just a few words, which is very appropriate.
"After you've lost or damaged your master's important things, do you think he'll let you go easily, given what you know about him?" said Aven.
"What do you mean?" Lucius narrowed his eyes, "I don't understand what you're saying. ”
"You'll understand, Draco and I are classmates, and although it's a bit of a contradiction, we get along fairly well overall, and naturally we don't want to watch him go to destruction. Evan said, looking back at the other person, happily watching the other person's changing expression.
