"Hello, Mr. Minister." Zhang Xu greeted Fudge, the Minister of Magic, who walked out of the hall.

Seeing Zhang Xu, Fudge was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhang Xu to come by train with the students.

Fudge nodded almost imperceptibly to Zhang Xu, which was considered to have said hello.

Zhang Xu was able to summon the Dementors, which made Fudge very dissatisfied with Zhang Xu, especially since he was the one who pulled the strings between Zhang Xu and the Dementors in the first place.

The Dementors are an armed force under the Ministry of Magic, and are essentially the same as mercenaries. The Ministry of Magic needs the force and deterrence of the Dementors, and the Dementors need the Ministry of Magic to provide them with rations, and both sides take what they need and cooperate happily.

According to the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Magic, only the Minister of Magic and those authorized by the Minister of Magic can mobilize Dementors.

And Zhang Xu found the leader of the Dementors to be a witness for Harry in court, which is equivalent to colluding with a foreigner and the commander of the domestic armed forces, and then ruthlessly cheating his own government.

There are only two outcomes for Muggle societies. One is that the government was overthrown by a military coup d'état by domestic armed forces in collusion with foreign powers, which has happened many times in African countries. The other is that the person concerned is arrested by the government and shot for five minutes.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Magic cannot be measured by the common sense of the Muggle government.

Zhang Xu dared to do this, but he still saw that the Ministry of Magic did not dare to embarrass the Dementors, and at the same time, he did not dare to embarrass himself.

After all, the Ministry of Magic behaves differently than the Muggle government, and they don't have the game of foreign forces colluding with domestic forces to rebel in their heads.

And Fudge is not that kind of tough person, if he changes to a tough Minister of Magic, Zhang Xu will be deported home now to prepare for the college entrance examination.

Although the Ministry of Magic didn't do anything to Zhang Xu, as far as Minister of Magic Fudge was concerned, after Zhang Xu did this kind of slap in the face of the Ministry of Magic, the two of them were already in a hostile state.

Now that the skin has been torn, and saying hello when you meet is considered to have fulfilled the duty of the state of etiquette, there is no need to talk again.

Just as the two were about to stagger by, Fudge suddenly stopped Zhang Xu.

"Are you free now, Mr. Zhang?"

"I'm in no hurry to finish it." Zhang Xu turned around and replied, "Is there something wrong, Mr. Minister." ”

"Can you go outside with me?" Fudge said.

This time it was Zhang Xu's turn to be stunned for a moment, he heard that a while ago, Fudge knew that the matter of the Dementor was that Zhang Xu was ghosting in the back, and Fudge scolded him in the office for half an hour. Now he wants to talk to himself, which makes Zhang Xu a little curious about what he wants to do.

Although walking around the campus with a middle-aged uncle is not a beautiful experience, but without looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha, the face of a minister of magic still has to be given.

The weather was nice and sunny today, and the two of them walked along the lake at Hogwarts for a while, neither of them speaking first.

"It's been a long time since I've walked around Hogwarts." Fudge looked at the sparkling surface of the lake and said, "It's been about half a century." ”

"I think the professors and students at Hogwarts are very welcome to come back often." Zhang Xu said.

"I've had that thought once in a while, but after sitting in this position, I don't have much personal time." "I've heard from Weasley that life at Hogwarts has been exciting over the past few years. Why didn't I think of organizing a broomstick race when I was at Hogwarts? ”

Zhang Xu listened as Fudge reminisced about his student life at Hogwarts.

"After I entered the Ministry of Magic, I no longer had that carefree life except for homework." Fudge concluded.

"It is because of the hard work of Mr. Minister that there is a peaceful life for other people." Zhang Xu lifted Fudge.

"But some people don't want everyone to live a peaceful life." Fudge looked at Zhang Xu and said, "You know who I'm talking about. ”

"Yes, I know. The mysterious man is back, and everyone is going back to the life of more than ten years ago. Zhang Xu said "along with Fudge's words."

Zhang Xu knew that Fudge was referring to Dumbledore and Harry Potter, who had been preaching about Voldemort's return.

But Zhang Xu didn't want to play tricks with Fudge in this regard, so he directly showed the car and horse artillery.

If Fudge can realize the fact that Voldemort has returned in time, then it will be good news for Zhang Xu, and maybe he will be able to end this war before the college entrance examination.

When Fudge heard Zhang Xu's answer, his face immediately turned red.

Fortunately, after many years of being an official, Fudge still has kung fu, and he soon regained his calm.

"You also think the mystery man is back as Dumbledore said?" Fudge said in a cold voice.

"If Dumbledore threatens you to say that, I can call the shots for you." Fudge then said in a softer voice.

"It's not Professor Dumbledore who told me to say that, it's that I've seen the mysterious man who has recovered his body come out of the cauldron." Zhang Xu shook his head and said.

"You haven't seen a mystery man." Fudge glared at Zhang Xu and said, "This is Dumbledore's trick, he deceived you." Dumbledore was a master of Transfiguration, and it wasn't difficult for him to do that. ”

A person who is both an officer and a soldier and a thief at the same time, Zhang Xu is no stranger to such a routine, and such characters appear in literary and artistic works.

If Dumbledore and Voldemort are the same person, one, three, five appear as Dumbledore, and two, four, six will be replaced by Voldemort, and take a break on Sunday, such a thing is not impossible in the wizarding world.

Zhang Xu felt that he could use this subject to write a book.

If Zhang Xu hadn't known the truth early on, maybe he would have been shaken by Fudge's words.

"Mr. Minister, I trust my own judgment, and I also have a way to judge whether the other party is a real mysterious person." Zhang Xu said.

The Horcrux detector in Zhang Xu's hand can increase the detection distance while reducing the accuracy.

At that time, when Lao Ma walked in front of Zhang Xu with Voldemort in his arms, the Horcrux detector in his hand kept vibrating.

"And I can't think of a reason for Professor Dumbledore to do that." Zhang Xu continued.

"The reason is simple, for the sake of power, for the sake of my position." Fudge said in the tone of educating juniors, "For the sake of power, who knows what he will do." ”

Zhang Xu really wants to complain about Fudge, you're talking about yourself.

Fudge was the spare tire for the position of Minister of Magic, and Fudge could only ascend to the throne after Dumbledore rejected that position.

Seeing that Zhang Xu didn't speak, Fudge said again: "The taste of power, no one who has tasted it will refuse." Just like you are now a professor at Hogwarts, if one day you lose the power of professor in Hogwarts, I am sure you will be very unwilling. ”

Zhang Xu found that what Fudge said was very reasonable, and he couldn't refute it.

It's just that Fudge's hidden threats won't work for Zhang Xu, and if Fudge withdraws his professorship, he will only be happy that he will have more time to prepare for the college entrance examination in two years' time. Anyway, he won't have any sisters to bring back to the dormitory in the future.

If Fudge knew Zhang Xu's thoughts, he would probably vomit blood.

"If only I could turn down this errand." Zhang Xu shook his head and said, "If I didn't have to do my homework, I wouldn't have taken this errand." As a result, I miscalculated because I forgot that I still had to change my homework, which was busier than making me do my homework. ”

Fudge couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhang Xu's complaints.

"Mr. Minister, I suggest you pay more attention to the actions of the Death Eaters who escaped sanctions." Zhang Xu changed the subject.

"If the Mystic does return, then those former Death Eaters will inevitably regroup under his wing, so that useful clues can be gleaned from their actions."

"Lucius Malfoy, for example, if the Mysteries returned, their actions would inevitably cost the Malfoys, the richest of the Death Eaters. If Lucius Malfoy hasn't been as generous as he used to be, it means that all his money has been used to help the Mysteries. ”

Fudge knew what Zhang Xu meant by "generosity", so he couldn't help but blush, and didn't answer Zhang Xu's words.

At this time, Zhang Xu found that the two of them were walking and talking, and they had already walked to the place where the Great Lake and the Forbidden Forest intersected.

Zhang Xu pointed to the lawn surrounded by the Great Lake and the Forbidden Forest, and said to Fudge, "That lawn was reserved by Professor Dumbledore. ”

Fudge immediately became alert and turned his head to look at Zhang Xu, waiting for him to continue.

"Professor Dumbledore wants to build his graveyard here after his death." Zhang Xu said calmly.

"Professor Dumbledore is very old, and although there are wizards who are older than him, I can sense that he is running out of time." Zhang Xu said in a low voice.

"The professors at Hogwarts can tell that he has handed over more and more of the Headmaster's powers over the past few years."

"If it weren't for the threat of the mystery man, maybe Professor Dumbledore would have chosen to retire."

"Professor Dumbledore poses no threat to your position, Mr. Minister. I don't think anyone is going to support a man who doesn't have much to live to be a minister. ”

"Instead of worrying about Professor Dumbledore's threat, you should worry about other directors in the Ministry of Magic."

It was the first time that Fudge next to him heard the news, and he was stunned for a while.

Many people don't realize, or deliberately ignore Dumbledore's age.

Everyone only noticed the aura of Dumbledore's first white wizard, and they didn't expect that one day his life would come to an end.

"So what do you think...... When will it be? Fudge asked cautiously.

The question is a bit excessive, and if it were exposed in the media, Fudge would inevitably receive a shouting letter.

"It's hard to say," Zhang Xu shook his head and said, "Maybe tonight, or two years from now, I can't say for sure." ”

Then both fell silent.

None of them were able to convince anyone today, Fudge couldn't get Zhang Xu to come out to "refute the rumors", and Zhang Xu couldn't get Fudge to pay attention to Voldemort's affairs.

Fudge wasn't the kind of person with a strong personality, so Zhang Xu gave up early on to let him learn from the great reputation that Margaret Thatcher, the "Iron Lady", had gained thirteen years ago after the war in the Malvinas Islands.

Fuji, who failed to convince Zhang Xu, saw that it was useless to stay, and tried to repair the relationship between the two, so he left quickly.

After Fudge left, Zhang Xu also returned to Hogwarts Castle and walked to the kitchen.
