Chapter 46: Pomfrey, the Genius of Logic (Part 3)
Both of them were silent, and it seemed that the one who spoke first would lose out on momentum.
After an unknown amount of time, Minister Fudge finally couldn't hold his breath and began to speak.
"Albus, isn't it terrible weather," Fudge said nervously, "I've come so far from the Ministry of Magic, and I'm sorry to disturb your Halloween dinner, but I've written to you before." ”
Everyone looked at Dumbledore in surprise, as if he knew Fudge was coming.
Dumbledore's tone was still calm, "That's right, Connelly, I wrote back to you, you shouldn't have come now. ”
He waved his hand and motioned for Professor McGonagall to take the students out.
The Great Hall rumbled again, and everyone wanted to stay here and listen, after all, it was a conversation between the Minister of Magic and the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and this must be at least a matter of concern for the safety of the wizarding world, right?
But under Professor McGonagall's stern gaze, all the students reluctantly walked out.
When the students were gone, Fudge took his seat in Professor McGonagall's place.
"But look, Albus," said Fudge unnaturally, "I'm under a lot of pressure right now, and Lucius was caught by Alastor on the night of the incident...... To be honest, it wasn't such a serious matter, and it also proved his innocence.
Lucius was innocent, and he was also very resourceful, bribing many powerful dignitaries and donating a building to the Ministry of Magic...... I have no reason to keep him in custody. ”
"Of course, we can be sure that Malfoy has nothing to do with this incident." Dumbledore replied coldly, "But it doesn't mean that Professor Snape is guilty." ”
The smile on Snape's face froze, and he had just looked at Hagrid gloatingly.
Hagrid, who heard Snape's name, finally stopped shaking, straightened up again, and picked up a bottle of mead.
Fudge smiled awkwardly, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Of course, we will investigate, we will judge, the problem is that on the night of the incident, Snape was not at school, he showed up in ......"
Dumbledore interrupted Fudge, "That day, Snape was ordered by me to investigate the cause of Professor Robert's death, and it was not he who appeared at the Ministry of Magic. ”
As if pricked by a needle, Fudge stood up, squinted his eyes, and said, "Isn't Robert's death an accident?" ”
Dumbledore shook his head: "It was an accident, but his identity makes me a little suspicious, and I need to make sure, so I'll let Professor Snape verify it."
But the Ministry of Magic attack had nothing to do with Snape......"
"Albus, you should inform me of your private investigation, so I can send the Aurors to help, right?"
Fudge's expression was dark, and he suddenly became tough, and said seriously: "Snape's criminal record is very bad for him." Albus, while you testified about that trial, the Ministry of Magic had to do something about it now that something so big had happened—I'd already been in touch with the school board. ”
"Connelly, I'm going to tell you—taking Snape away won't help at all." Dumbledore said, his blue eyes glistening with rage.
"Look at it from my point of view," Fudge said, fiddling with his top hat, "I'm under a lot of pressure." I have to be seen that I'm working hard.
If it had been found out that it wasn't Snape, he would have come back, without a word. But I had to take him away. ”
"Take me away?" Professor Snape's voice was cold. "Where to take?"
"Time is short," Fudge said, not looking into Snape's eyes, "not a punishment, just a precaution." If another person is caught, you will be released and fully apologized. ”
With that, Fudge stood up and walked out first, while Dumbledore shook his head slightly at Snape.

Disturbed by the Ministry of Magic, this Halloween was destined to be bad, and until the next day, everyone was still talking.
According to everyone's thoughts, Hagrid should be taken away by the Ministry of Magic, after all, when the Aurors arrived, he had a clear gaffe.
But it was Professor Snape who had disappeared.
It was dramatic, and Snape gloated over Hagrid when he was scared.
The little lions were as excited as if they had cancelled their exams at the end of the semester.
Professor Snape's departure represents a record low for Gryffindor.
Indeed, the water mark in the scoring funnel has also begun to slowly decline, and it is believed that it will not be long before the long-lost red gemstone will appear.
Professor Snape's disappearance seemed to be a happy event for everyone, except for Slytherin House.
The little snakes in Slytherin kept their heads down, and they were a little depressed without the snake king.
Speaking of which, Snape was also quite miserable, he was attacked by smelly shoes at the beginning of school, and he ended up in the school hospital on the first day of class...... Not long after he came out, he was taken away by the Ministry of Magic again.
Could it be that the terrible curse of the Defence Against the Dark Arts position was transferred to Potions class?
There were a lot of rumors for a while.
The general belief is that Professor Snape had something to do with the attack at the Ministry of Magic.
This is something that is easy to relate, the Ministry of Magic just released Malfoy on the front foot, and Snape was taken away on the back foot, or the Minister of Magic personally led the team.
If you want to say that these two things are not connected, that is impossible!
But it is not known whether Snape was behind the scenes, a participant, or simply cooperating with the Ministry of Magic's investigation.
The professors were very tight-mouthed and did not reveal the aftermath of that night!
The Potions class was temporarily replaced by Madam Pomfrey, who is also said to be a Potions Master.
This claim has yet to be confirmed, because the unpalatable potion in the school hospital must have been the work of Professor Snape!
He was the only one who would mix a potion with disgusting but harmless ingredients.
Everyone was happy to see Madam Pomfrey's arrival, at least without putting up with Snape's cynicism and a large number of unwarranted point deductions.
However, everyone soon regretted it.
Madam Pomfrey, dressed in purple robes, walked into the warm underground classroom.
It's really warm......
As soon as Professor Snape came out of the hospital, he added a fireplace, which he had to light even on a hot day, just in case.
The change was not good or bad, and it was indeed comfortable on a cold day, but Snape pinched the burning charcoal at every turn, dangled it in front of his face, and looked at the little wizard with bad intentions.
The little wizard's potion failure rate is thirty percent higher than before!
Madam Pomfrey glanced critically at the classroom facilities, and it was clear that she was not very happy with the environment.
In Professor Snape's absence, she would probably do a little renovation.
"Now," Madam Pomfrey said quickly. "Take the cauldron and take out the quill."
Most of the students strangely exchanged glances.
The order to 'take the cauldron' seemed particularly strange in Potions class.
Without a cauldron, how could they make potions?
William folded the cauldron and took out a quill, ink, and parchment.
Madam Pomfrey opened her handbag, took out her wand, which was very short, and poked the blackboard with it, and some words appeared on the blackboard:
Aftercare for the Wizard!
"Well, now, you've been teaching this course by Professor Snape." Madam Pomfrey turned her face to the classroom.
"Potions is undoubtedly a difficult class, and many young wizards will have some problems after taking this class......" Madam Pomfrey pondered her words.
"In Muggle terms, mental illness, more severely, and autism!"
"So, Potions is a dangerous subject."
William looked at Madam Pomfrey strangely, this was obviously Professor Snape's problem, how could it be blamed on Potions?
Madam Pomfrey is a genius of logic, and Hogwarts has picked up a treasure!
