Drogon had gone to deliver a message to Dumbledore, and Miria was still there.

William took out five nats, and Miria haughtily stretched out a long leg and asked him to put the coin into a small leather pouch tied to his leg.

Then, with the rest of the snack in its mouth, it flew out towards the owl shed at Hogwarts.

William opened the envelope, which contained not a letter, but the latest Prophet Daily Urgent Edition.

Several people gathered around William, watching the latest investigation by the Ministry of Magic.

When William opened the newspaper, the headline was the attack on the Ministry of Magic.

I saw the title written in black heavy ink: Shocked! The Ministry of Magic attack and the discovery of important physical evidence.

There's also a photo underneath – a wand!

William looked very familiar, he really should be familiar, he had seen it in Diagon Alley not long ago.

- Lucius Malfoy's wand!

It was indeed Lucius's wand, with Malfoy's coat of arms carved on it, and at the top of the wand, there was a dent in which pigeon eggs were once inlayed.

During the fight in Diagon Alley that day, Lucius only found pigeon eggs, but lost his wand, and now, he has mysteriously appeared at the scene of the Ministry of Magic attack.

"Could it have been Malfoy?" After reading the newspaper, Cho asked.

Listening to the descriptions, Lucius Malfoy didn't seem to be a good man.

"Autumn, their family is a dark wizard!" George said angrily.

"When the mystery man fell, Malfoy should have been punished. He claimed that he was controlled by a mysterious person, and he also paid a large amount of gold Galleons in exchange for peace.

The Malfoys are nothing good, and I don't doubt what he did. ”

George was still angry about what had happened in Diagon Alley that day, and Lucius scolded them for reproducing as fast as mudbloods.

Mudblood is the worst word in the wizarding world.

Cedric held his chin and said, "But the day Malfoy was fighting in Diagon Alley, and we all watched it. ”

Qiu pointed to a passage in the newspaper and said, "According to the report, the attack happened in the middle of the night, and he could have gone there."

You have also said that his wand is lost, but who will steal a wand worth ten gallons instead of a diamond?

This is most likely self-directed and self-acted. ”

Qiu's analysis makes sense.

But the twins exchanged glances.

Fred glanced around and whispered, "Remember the day my dad said that the Mad-Eye was investigating Malfoy?" ”

"Who's the Mad-Eye?" Qiu wondered.

George said, "Mad Eye's name is Moody, and he's an almost half-retired Auror.

The Mad Eye was powerful, and the Death Eaters he captured were able to fill half of Azkaban's cell. ”

Fred continued, "The most important thing is that the Mad-Eye is definitely from our side...... I mean, he had a good relationship with Dumbledore and was very capable. ”

"Since the Mad-Eye is spying on Malfoy, what have you discovered?" Cedric asked.

"There are indeed some." George pondered his words. "These are all things that Fred and I overheard."

"My dad told Malfoy that day that the Mad-Eye was going to investigate him in order to provoke him and move the dark magic items out of the house.

After Malfoy's fight back, he actually went to sell things at night, and the Mad-Eye Man caught him at the Borgin Burke Magic Shop in Tumbledown Alley. ”

Fred regretted: "The mad-eyed man is in a hurry, he should wait a few days!"

Although Malfoy sold the necklace that had been spelled, the level of black magic was not high, and he was only here to test the waters. At most, the ministry can be released on bail if they are fined a little money, and they don't have to go to Azkaban at all. ”

Qiu thought for a moment and wondered, "But, doesn't this happen to prove that Malfoy didn't attack the Ministry of Magic?"

He went to sell things at night, so how could he have time to attack? ”

Fred smiled bitterly, "Here's the problem, the mad-eyed man was particularly upset when he heard that magic was attacked.

That night, if he hadn't caught Malfoy, the other party would not have been able to clear his name, at least he would have to go to Azkaban for a while. ”

Qiu showed an extremely confused expression, she frowned, "Since Malfoy didn't attack, why did the Daily Prophet report on Malfoy's wand, isn't this deliberately misleading everyone?" ”

"Scapegoat, Autumn." William explained, "The Ministry of Magic couldn't find the attacker, and Fudge needed a scapegoat to divert attention for the time being.

It would make them appear less incompetent and the Ministry of Magic would be less stressed. ”

Wrongful convictions are never an isolated case, and the wizarding world is no exception.

William had been puzzled before.

Why did the Daily Prophet make a big deal about the fight between Weasley and Malfoy during this time?

The contradictions between the two families are well known, and this kind of thing cannot be put on the table at all.

The newspaper with the largest circulation has been tracking it for more than half a month.

Now William finally understands that Fudge is trying to cover up the attack on the Ministry of Magic.

The outbreak of a major event, if you want to cover up the past, you must use more hot spots to distract the attention of the people who eat melons.

This is a common technique in later generations.

The people who eat melons are like fish, and their memories are short.

As the heat wears off, no one will talk about that serious incident until the next time it erupts.

The Ministry of Magic was attacked by dark wizards, and it was such a scandal that had to be suppressed.

This incident is undoubtedly a serious blow to the prestige of the Ministry of Magic.

Especially at this special juncture, the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, has only been in office for half a year.

Fudge could not tolerate an incompetent label on his head. That would be devastating for a politician committed to a long re-election!

So he chose to let the Daily Prophet report on the fight in an attempt to divert everyone's attention.

It's just that Fudge underestimated the impact of the attack, and the rumors still spread.

When the Ministry of Magic found that it could no longer be stopped, it simply did not cover it up and took the initiative to reveal it.

At this time, it had been almost a month since the Ministry of Magic was attacked.

It was delayed for so long to report and deal with it, and public opinion was angry.

Many times, ordinary people don't care about the truth of the incident, nor do they care about the consequences of the incident, they are angry that they have been fooled.

The cover-up of events by those in power is essentially a kind of foolishness.

Clever politicians will throw out the murderer or a scapegoat or two at such a moment to distract the melon-eating masses again.

An attack case that has left the Ministry of Magic anxious and a case in which the murderer has been caught is completely different in nature.

And Malfoy is such a scapegoat who hit the muzzle of the gun, and the wand found at the scene in the report is also the best breaking point!

Regardless of the truth, William realized that the newly appointed Minister of Magic was not as incompetent as Hagrid had previously claimed.

At least when it comes to dealing with ordinary people, Fudge is skillful and an extremely old politician.
