The Ministry of Magic arrived much faster than Ivan had expected, and he had just had breakfast when Fudge arrived.

Converting the time, the Ministry of Magic should have just started work, and the current minister hurriedly ran over, which shows how seriously the Ministry of Magic attaches importance to this matter...

Ivan shook his head and sighed in his heart, if he had this efficiency when he did other things, why did he get to this point today.

"Ivan, is something happening?" Hermione also heard Fawkes's chirp, and of course she recognized Dumbledore's phoenix flying towards her.

Sirius, Harry, and Ron stopped talking and looked at Ivan in unison.

"No, it's nothing, Professor Dumbledore has something to do with me, it should be that someone from the Ministry of Magic can't bear to come early!"

Ivan stood up and held out his hand, and Fawkes, who flew in through the window, rested on his arm.

Then Ivan looked at Sirius again and said to them.

"Also, I think it's better to postpone your celebration until after the trial, Sirius's suspicions have not been completely cleared before the trial, and it's best not to leave the school at will, lest someone find a reason to criticize Professor Dumbledore..."

Hearing Ivan say this, Harry and the others, who were originally in high spirits, suddenly wilted.

Sirius also realized this, he had forgotten his identity as a fugitive when he was so happy that he might have caused some kind of commotion if he had run outside in the open...

Seeing that they all understood the necessity of staying at Hogwarts, Ivan didn't say anything, but walked towards the outside of the Great Hall, finding a place where no one was and changing into Dumbledore's appearance.

"Well, yes, it's quite like! It shouldn't be debunked, right? ”

When the changed state stabilized, Ivan used Transfiguration to get a full-length mirror and examined it carefully.

After all, the time to meet Minister of Magic Fudge is better than fooling those professors in the school, and this time it will be all over if you go to the goof.

In order to match Dumbledore's taste, Ivan even made a set of angry purple robes to wear on his body, so that he could look in line with the temperament of the old headmaster...

"What do you think? Fox? Ivan tilted his head to look at the phoenix with the golden-red feathers on his shoulder.

Fawkes stared at the mirror for a moment, then nodded, and from the outside, it didn't see any flaws.

Ivan was completely relieved, but as soon as he stepped out of the castle gate, he saw the Minister of Magic, Fudge, walking menacingly with a large group of Aurors.

Ivan frowned slightly, knowing in his heart that Fudge was afraid that the person who came this time was not good, but he quickly adjusted his expression and took steps to meet him.

"Cornelius, it's been a long time since we saw each other!" Ivan pretended not to see the hostility on their faces, and greeted them very warmly.

Fudge didn't appreciate it at all, he walked in front of Ivan in three steps and two steps, his eyes full of anger that could not be concealed, he approached him, and questioned word by word.

"Albus... What exactly do you want to do? ”

"Of course I'm doing something that needs to be done, like finding the culprit of this unrest..."Ivan raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly.

"That's the job of the Ministry of Magic Aurors!" Fudge angrily interrupted Ivan's words.

"Don't say that, Connelly! This is also a threat to the safety of all students, how can I, as the Headmaster of Hogwarts, turn a blind eye? And I'm also very willing to contribute to the wizarding world and do some small work that I can. Ivan looked at him calmly and explained.

"Then you should discuss it with me first, instead of doing those little things yourself," Fudge said angrily.

Fudge knew very well that the news published in the Daily Prophet today must have nothing to do with Dumbledore, otherwise how would they dare to publish such a thing without their consent.

"How could I have forgotten you? Friends! In fact, I have already sent an owl with my own letter to explain all this to you—" Ivan elaborated in a gentle tone.

"And what about your owl? I haven't seen it! Fudge asked, as if he had reached the limit of his patience, and the string in his mind could break at any moment.

You must know that when he arrived at the Ministry of Magic early this morning, he received hundreds of letters questioning the authenticity of the contents of his Daily Prophet, and there were a large number of howling letters, which seriously disrupted the normal operation of the Ministry of Magic!

Fudge even had to send a commissioner to intercept the owls that tried to storm the Ministry of Magic, and to pick out the important letters to be sent to his office.

But there was no letter from Dumbledore at all!

Coupled with the fact that the latest issue of the Daily Prophet almost didn't him off, he left all his work in such a hurry and rushed here with the Aurors as soon as possible!

Faced with Fudge's questioning, Ivan said regretfully.

"Maybe Hogwarts is too far away from the Ministry of Magic, and the owl I sent will need to fly for a while, and if you hadn't come to me, you might already be reading that letter..."

Ivan, who has always been cautious, wouldn't give Fudge an excuse to target him, so he did send a letter to the Ministry of Magic!

It's just that the owl in charge of delivering the message had just left Hogwarts ten minutes ago...

Listening to Ivan's remarks, Fudge was directly laughed at angrily, who in the wizarding world doesn't know that Dumbledore has a phoenix, and some important messages are almost a moment away from delivering important information on weekdays.

And even if you use an owl to send a message, you can't fly all night without arriving ... The other party is obviously deliberately targeting himself!

Thinking of this, Fudge put aside the little bit of concern before and said with a sneer. "I heard from the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet that you threatened them with this news?"

"Is that what he told you? We had a good chat," Ivan continued, looking at Fudge in surprise with wide eyes.

"The editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet told me that he was more than willing to let everyone know the truth."

Ivan was very dissatisfied with Fudge's remarks just now, how could such a pleasant conversation become coercion and temptation in his mouth...

How can he tarnish people's innocence out of thin air?

(PS: Seeing that someone doesn't understand Fudge's behavior, the angel explains a little here.) In fact, it is clear in a different scene.

A certain British country mistook the war hero for a Crusader spy and tortured him for more than ten years, and the real spy who faked his death instead obtained the title of hero, and now the spy is captured by the agents, and it is found that it was a miscalculation. Do you think the above chose to kill people directly, or did they choose to announce it directly?

So it's not a question of who's in power, it's a scandal of the entire Ministry of Magic, and of course it's okay to dump the pot, but that's when there's no way to do it. For Western politicians who only focus on interests, if they have the opportunity, they can get rid of those in the know and pretend that nothing has happened... It's a lot easier than a PR afterthought. ）
