George, Fred? What are you doing?"

Before the Aurors in the Auror office of the Ministry of Magic could ask aloud, a red-haired man standing at the back of the crowd walked briskly to the front, glanced at the adult wizards who had fallen to the ground around him, and looked at the two boys at the head of Gryffindor House in surprise.

Immediately afterward, Arthur Weasley quickly turned his head and waved his hand at Dallux, who was about to draw his wand.

"Wait a minute, this is my son!, Mr. Minister, I told you...... Hey, these two kids. ”

Mr. Weasley's face had been filled with melancholy and gloom, but since he saw the wonderful performance of his sons, he finally dissipated a little, turned to look at Cornelius Fudge with a curious face, and quickly explained.

Unfortunately, Fudge wasn't in the mood to pay attention to the wonderful spells of some young wizards at this time, and as he appeared, the wizards gradually turned their attention to him, as if they had found hope, and shouted at him.

"Mr. Minister, can we really get our money back?"

"A full hundred and thirteen gold gallons, Mr. Fudge, you can find a way, you will definitely be able to get it back, right?!"

"Tell me something, Mr. Minister......

Cornelius Fudge looked at the middle-aged wizards who were wailing on the ground, and his brow furrowed unconsciously.

You know, Fuji's entire net worth is now missing, and who can know the anger in his heart compared to those down-and-out wizards who have lost only a hundred gold gallons?

After a few seconds of thought, and after a brief command, Cornelius Fudge walked straight past the crowd without changing his face.

"Delix, you take the wizard from the Auror Office and deal with the situation here as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

"Minerva, please work with the Ministry of Magic Aurors to deal with this conflict. ”

Dumbledore smiled slightly, and also turned his head to Professor McGonagall and nodded.

With the arrival of the Ministry of Magic officials and professors, the clash that took place in front of the Quidditch pitch quickly died down.

The experienced Aurors of the Ministry of Magic quickly took over the situation, controlling the wizards who were slightly out of control, and guiding them to a fixed area of the arena for temporary resettlement...... Of course, the wand is in the custody of the students for the time being.

They are used as collateral for trampling on the potato fields, and they will not be returned until everything is done and compensation is paid.

Since the two garden wars with Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, even the humble Gryffindor lion cubs have learned to claim loot, or more accurately, moral and property damage.

"The haunting Dark Lord, Peter Pettigrew...... It's horrible. ”

Cornelius Fudge glanced at the wizards who had been taken away, sighed, and said with empathetic hatred.

These downcast wizards who were struck down for storming the Hogwarts students' vegetable garden were just one of the thousands of unfortunate people in the wizarding world who went bankrupt overnight, and the same sentiment permeated the hearts of almost all adult wizards present.

The only difference is just how much is lost......

"I don't understand what you're talking about? Mr. Connelly. ”

Albus Dumbledore's eyes flickered, and he looked at the Minister of Magic beside him with a confused expression.

"These wizards...... Isn't it because of the memory of Lily and Jaime, and how Peter Pettigrew, who illegally mortgaged Hogwarts, was finally punished by the law, so he rushed to Hogwarts...... Is there anything else I don't know about? Frankly, it's more than I thought it would be. ”

"This is another extremely complicated case, Professor Dumbledore. ”

Connelly Fudge had a murderous look on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said in a rough voice, "Compared to betraying Jaime and Lily and mortging Hogwarts, this damn bastard may have done ten times worse, a hundred times worse!"

Cornelius Fudge didn't have much doubt about Dumbledore's doubts.

After all, in his impression, this old wizard who was far away in Hogwarts Castle never paid attention to money matters, not to mention that the document signed by the registrant of the "Tumbledown Alley Mystery Company" was also an important clue that was discovered by the Aurors this morning, and it was impossible for Dumbledore to know what terrible things Peter Pettigrew had done.

"It's still hard for me to imagine anything worse than plotting to destroy Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, betraying his friends and faction...... Peter Pettigrew, after all, is just a person......"

Albus Dumbledore's face was just the right amount of confusion as he walked to the Hogwarts Quidditch Pitch, which had been temporarily converted into a giant public trial scene, and asked Cornelius Fudge beside him.

The old man's voice was not loud, but at this distance, it was enough for the core officials of the Ministry of Magic who were following Fudge, as well as some of the news media on the outskirts who were holding magic props to record the developments.

For journalists in the wizarding world, the fact that a "hero" who has come back from the dead to overturn the case after a decade and set off a monstrous case in the wizarding world and become a real street rat is even more exciting news than the Minister of Magic's kissing pigs' butts - if none of them have suffered financial losses as a result, that would have been even better.

At the invitation of Mr. Lovegood, the editor-in-chief of "New Singing and Contrarian", "Daily Prophet", "Wizarding Weekly", "Voice of Magic" and "Wizard Live Radio" ...... Most of the news media in the British wizarding community had arrived at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry ahead of schedule, awaiting the start of this unprecedented public trial.

In addition to the permanent personnel arranged around the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore, and others, dozens of reporters and radio personnel with magic shorthand books and magic quill pens frequently shuttled through the wizards who were already seated in the Quidditch Pitch, recording people's moods and the sad stories that happened in each family.

And when a magical conflict broke out in front of the potato field of Gryffindor House, and everyone from the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore and others appeared in the wizards' field of vision, at least more than twenty magic radios and cameras were pointed at them, carefully recording the words and deeds of these "judges" who were in public trial today.

"One person, maybe there really is only one 'man', but whether there are more accomplices is what we are going to inquire about today......" Connelly Fudge shook his head with a gloomy face.

There is no doubt that the Gringotts Wizarding Bank may have played an extremely important role in the whole incident.

According to the Aurors' inquiries and investigations, more than one wizard has proved with certainty that they once saw the elves in the "scam company", and the vast majority of the remaining goblins in the wizarding world are under the control of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, but now they are temporarily split into two groups, but ......

Cornelius Fudge raised his voice, looked at the media and wizards around him, and said with great determination.

"No matter how long it takes, no matter what means it takes, the Ministry of Magic will get to the bottom of it today and figure everything out! No force can resist the wrath of the entire wizarding world, no ......"
