Chapter Seventy-Nine: Slow Development
"Hahaha...... Daniel laughed as he slapped the table, "well done, Sirius!" Fudge's bitch-raised bastard, I've wanted to beat him up for a long time! Recently, like a mad dog, chasing and biting me every day. β
Sirius pretended not to care, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, it took me a long time for Fudge to hit that coward once...... If the headmaster hadn't arrived just in time, I think I could have thrown him a dozen mischief spells. β
"It's already great, would you like to give it a high-five?"
"Okay!"
The two brothers of the Black family gave a high-five in celebration.
"I've had enough of you."
Lucius Malfoy's face was ugly, and he couldn't bear to say to the side: "Ciris, Daniel, you two are sometimes naΓ―ve, and you don't look like adults in your twenties. β
Moriarty burst out laughing.
Headmaster Dumbledore touched his beard and smiled as he persuaded kindly, "Siris, although I know that you usually act in a measured manner, you are really too impulsive this time...... Anyway, Fukuji is also the Minister of the Ministry of Magic. β
"I'll pay attention next time." Sirius replied nonchalantly, "If I remember next time." β
"What about Fudge?" Lucius asked calmly.
"Who cares about him!"
"Let him die."
The two brothers of the Black family are once again in sync.
Lucius was extremely helpless, he rubbed his temples with a headache, "Headmaster Dumbledore, do you think so too?" β
"Of course not." Dumbledore's eyes widened in surprise, "I have never supported any act of public violence. β
"That's right." Daniel nodded, "Siris is too reckless, how can he do it in public?" Next time we can go back to Fudge in private, cover his face like a Death Eater, and beat him up in a colorful way. β
"Wait, I didn't say that." Dumbledore waved his hand to explain, but the eyes behind the half-moon lenses narrowed with a smile.
"The Death Eaters don't cover their faces for this!"
As for Lucius, he was almost by the two brothers.
Moriarty and Sirius laughed behind them.
In fact, there's really nothing to worry about.
After frequent incidents, the Ministry of Magic's credibility has been declining.
Most of Fudge's words were not believed by many people.
However, our Minister Fudge has been trying hard to change that.
He also followed Daniel's example, giving speeches and saying things that inspired the people, and occasionally tried to use the popular public opinion offensive to suppress political opponents.
However, compared to Mr. Blake's free-spirited and substantial performance;
Fudge's apparently targeted, flashy, but in fact empty speech makes him not an anti-dog, exposing not only the confusion and incompetence of the Ministry, but also his own hypocrisy and short-sightedness.
The prestige of the Ministry of Magic, and the Minister's control over the wizarding world as a whole, has fallen to its lowest level ever.
In the Diagon Alley Dark Mark incident, Fudge refused to admit the return of the mysterious man, and he insisted that someone was causing trouble, and this person, he pointed the finger directly at Daniel.
He claimed: Some people just want the wizarding world to be chaotic. After uniting with Muggles and not shaking the foundations of the wizarding world, they tried to create chaos and make the people panic......
Most of the wizarding world thinks he is really nonsense and logically confused.
This is a completely unsubstantiated and unreasonable statement, how did he say it so eloquently?
The only point that Mr. Black Jr. can be attacked is the 'pro-Muggle faction'. He is a wizard himself, and the foundation of the Black family is the wizarding world, so he has nothing to shake his home, what is he doing to create chaos in his own home? Isn't there nothing to do when you're full? Is Fudge going to play everyone for a fool?
But Fudge doesn't think so, he has suffered many losses, and thinks that the people don't believe him because of Daniel's quibbles (however, Daniel really didn't say anything this time).
So, he made up his mind and secretly gave orders to his henchmen and subordinates to arrest Daniel.
His order is not stupid, on the contrary, it is the embodiment of his 'shrewdness'.
With the help of the mysterious man's intimidation of the people, he plans to capture Daniel first, and then dump the black cauldron of 'Death Eaters', 'causing chaos' and 'shaking the wizarding world' to the other party, and whitewash the Ministry of Magic, which has never done anything.
And Daniel, who has been detained, has no way to jump out and defend himself...... When the time comes, the Ministry of Magic will be able to casually point fingers at deer and talk nonsense.
Fudge naively believed that guΓ² could be used as a way to divert contradictions and appease the restless hearts of the people; Being able to solve an enemy who is against you is really killing two birds with one stone!
Unfortunately, imagination is often beautiful, things can never be successful just by imagination, and reality is extremely cruel......
He first bumped into Sirius, who was 'unreasonable', and then, when he was about to defeat Sirius, he met Headmaster Dumbledore, the spiritual leader of the wizarding world, who had arrived in a hurry.
In front of this old man with high morality and unparalleled prestige, even Fudge, the minister of the Ministry of Magic, did not dare to act rashly.
After a few harsh remarks accusing Sirius of 'arrogantly attacking the Aurors and obstructing official business', he retreated.
The sewage that should have been spilled did not spill out, but suffered a dumb loss.
The most important thing is that the 'arrest operation' was originally his private decision, and he brought some of his henchmen, and without evidence, he couldn't even be charged with "resisting arrest" and "attacking the staff of the Ministry of Magic".
Sirius probably didn't think about it that much when he fought.
But Daniel vaguely guessed a few points about Fudge's behavior of coming to Black's door to arrest him at such a time.
'Is this TMD pinching me like a soft persimmon?' Daniel was annoyed, but he couldn't help but be a little vigilant.
Come to think of it, he's a 'weak clergy'! If you are really caught off guard this time and are caught by Fudge, even if there will be rescue later, it will be enough to suffer in a short period of time.
Therefore, as long as he thought of the shameless behavior of a villain like Fudge, he wished that Sirius would be more ruthless at that time, and cripple all these bastards who wanted to catch him.
For the first time, he thought that Sirius, the irascible Kemera beast, was quite cute with his reckless actions once in a while.
Putting that aside, as time went on, it became clear that the Diagon Alley Dark Mark incident was just the beginning.
In the days that followed, the Dark Mark continued to appear all over the UK, with news of innocent Muggles being attacked, and even ordinary wizarding families were attacked......
Once again, the British wizarding world was in that state of war.
The wizards began to become cautious and did not dare to go out; When you return home, you should also lock your doors and windows, and take various defensive measures to prevent you from being attacked if you are not careful.
Fudge continued to appeal in the newspapers, on the radio, and on television: everyone should believe in the Ministry of Magic, the mysterious man has disappeared, and nothing can endanger the safety of the people! The Ministry of Magic will keep the populace safe!
"It's all useless!"
Mrs. Weasley rubbed the Daily Prophet's news page and threw it in the trash, angrily saying, "Whatever happens to the mystery man...... But the Ministry of Magic is becoming more and more indifferent now, and instead of investigating the truth of the matter, it will only publish empty and useless statements. β
The phrase "The Ministry of Magic is getting more and more inactive now" keeps appearing in the mouths of different wizards in the wizarding world.
Fudge has no credibility in the hearts of the people.
In contrast, after this series of accidents, he did not stand up and make random remarks, and always kept a low profile, but at a critical moment, all the security teams recruited by the Black family were sent to Diagon Alley to protect the little Mr. Black who went out to the wizards, which is really cute.
While language is important, it depends on when you say it.
Moreover, many times, smart people understand a truth, that is: to understand a person, not by what you say, but by what you do.
Fudge learned and learned, only scratching the surface.
Every time a speech is made, either the timing is wrong, the content is wrong, or it is pure nonsense.
He laughed at Daniel's grandstanding, but in fact, in the hearts of the people, this minister who appeared in front of everyone with nothing to do and said some lies and meaningless lies is the real grandstanding.
While Daniel and McCroft teamed up to investigate the truth about the Muggle-wizard conflict, he also paid attention to Dumbledore's research on the Dark Lord Horcruxes.
After Malfoy learned about the Horcruxes, the opportunist, who had always liked to wait quietly for the right moment and take sides with the victors, finally made up his mind to hand over the black notebook Horcruxes.
After all, the one who cuts off the soul, even if he wins in the end, is an irrational mad tyrant.
Putting Malfoy's hopes in a madman who hadn't been obsessed with it.
"The recent activities of the Death Eaters, is it really the resurrection of the Dark Lord?" Daniel asked hesitantly as he handed the notebook to Dumbledore.
"I don't know, kid." The venerable old man replied, promising in a gentle, but firm tone, "But I will do everything in my power to stop those evil things." β
After that, things on the British side were at an impasse for a while, and there was no new development.
At the same time, something seems to be wrong on the American side.
Nick Fury, the bald director of S.H.I.E.L.D., suddenly dialed Daniel's mobile phone one night, and he said in a solemn tone on his mobile phone: "Daniel, find a way to bring me some elixir, I need some good luck recently." β
"What? Another alien invasion? Daniel teased.
"No, not this time." Nick Fury replied calmly: "Although it is not as strict as the aliens." But I had a hunch that I might be involved in something fatal. So, you have to help me. β
"Whatever the mailing method, it's best to be tomorrow morning, and it's best if you can give me a little luck......"
