Chapter 485: Scones

The door to the courtroom opened, and the members of the Wizengamot rushed out.

Connelly and Umbridge stayed last, with Umbridge staring at Harry with scrutinizing eyes until Harry trotted out of the interrogation room.

"Dolores, take care of your own men, and don't get me in trouble again. Fudge and Umbridge got close together and whispered reproach.

Alan, who was sitting in the corner of the audience, coughed lightly and stood up, reminding of his presence. Fudge paused abruptly, frowned, realized that it was Allen, motioned for Umbridge to leave, and walked quickly towards Allen.

As Umbridge walked past Allen, he gave Allen a flattering smile like a pink toad, and Allen restrained his desire to turn his head and nodded politely back. As if greatly encouraged, Umbridge was in high spirits, clutching a large roll of parchment in one hand and a small bag in the other, and the stocky figure quickly disappeared outside the courtroom.

"Ellen, can you give me some time and we talk?" Fudge invited Ellen, "Trust me, it won't take you too much time. ”

"My pleasure, Minister. That's why Eren stayed here until the end, and of course he wouldn't refuse Fudge's appointment.

"Please come with me, I don't think this is a good place to talk. Thinking that his conversation with Dolores might be overheard by Allen, Fudge glanced around the courtroom, feeling uneasy even though the eerie courtroom was empty.

Alan nodded and followed Fudge, and the two of them stopped talking, ignoring the other wizards who were also riding the elevator and secretly watching them, and went straight to the basement level where the minister's office was located.

Entering the minister's office, Fudge's expression relaxed a lot, he took off his magic robe and tossed it aside, revealing his white shirt, he lifted up his dark green suit pants, and sat down behind the super large desk in the room.

He snapped his fingers, and suddenly a tray appeared on his desk with tea and baked bread on it.

"Well, Alan," Fudge said as he poured his tea, "I'll tell you the truth, Harry is really messing us up. It turned out to be the Dementors who took the initiative to attack him, I thought ...... We can't let this matter go too far against the Ministry of Magic and cause a public uproar, that's the most important thing right now. ”

Fudge took out a plate of scones himself, took one of his own, and pushed the plate to Alan.

"Alan, what happened in court today I hope you don't report on it. Fudge looked at Alan from the edge of his teacup and smiled, like an uncle looking at his favorite nephew.

Alan lowered his head and said after a long silence: "Even if the Daily Prophet and the Prophet do not report on it, with Sirius's unwilling posture, he will definitely find other media to hype it up." ”

Fudge impatiently waved his bite of scones, the raisins on which fell on his table, and he looked at them with disgust: "Those three media outlets are far less influential than the Daily Prophet and the Contrarian, and as long as these two mainstream media don't report on it, the adverse effects of this matter can be controlled within acceptable limits." ”

"But this is indeed due to the Ministry of Magic's poor supervision of the Dementors, and the Ministry of Magic is responsible accordingly. Alan clenched his hands into fists on the table.

"The Harris family wants control of the Dementors?" Fudge thought Harris was going to take the opportunity to get back what was rightfully theirs, and his voice couldn't help but raise sharply, and chagrin and worry struck his heart.

"Minister, you misunderstood, I mean, instead of controlling media opinion, it is better to take advantage of the situation and shift the blame to the person who made a mistake in management. Completely suppressing the report, Sirius is afraid that he will protest even more violently and use more means. He can only be appeased if he sees that someone is punished for it and someone is held responsible. Come to think of it, after all, he himself had been imprisoned in Azkaban for thirteen years because of a miscalculation, and now with Harry, with Sirius's violent temper, I am afraid that the rebound will be even more ferocious. ”

"You mean push it to Dolores?" the teacup kept turning in Fudge's hand, and he hesitated, "No, if you can't protect your men, the rest of the Ministry of Magic will be cold." ”

Alan raised an eyebrow, giving up on the idea of directly bringing down Umbridge, and made another suggestion: "Perhaps, you can take back control of the Dementors and take control directly into your own hands." This is the equivalent of punishing Ms. Umbridge, but it is just a loss of a position that she mismanaged, and to others, you are protecting her, after all, you have not completely lost her position. ”

Fudge nodded, thinking to himself, "That way, the control of the Dementors is still firmly in my own hands." He got up and poured himself and Alan a cup of Ceylon lowland black tea, and resumed his unhurried tone: "Then what will the singing report on?"

"It's impossible not to report at all, but the specific details can be described in neutral terms and not at all. Alan blinked: "By the way, I have one thing I want to ask the minister for help, do you know that I want to set up a TV station recently?"

"Well, is there anyone in the ministry who is hindering you from going through the formalities? I should have told them not to trouble you. Fudge was stunned, thinking that someone under his command had provoked Harris by taking his own initiative. "I'll give them permission for you. Fudge had only heard his men report it, but he didn't have any idea about it.

Alan waved his hand to signal that Fu Ji had misunderstood: "Minister, the formalities of the TV station have gone smoothly, and we have completed the registration." After all, we are not like the wizarding television and radio companies of the early eighties that were short-lived for their direct use of Muggle technology, which were banned by the Ministry of Magic for serious violations of the International Federation of Wizards' secrecy laws before they even aired anything. Our Harris Wizard TV and Muggle's are completely incompatible in terms of signal and energy, and TV is different from radio after all. When Muggles overhear Wizarding Radio, it's easy for them to think they're mishearing or thinking it's a prank, and it's not so easy to believe when they accidentally see a Wizarding TV show. ”

"So, Alan, what do you want me to help with?" Fudge was a little puzzled, although he basically didn't understand these things, but it didn't sound like there was a violation, so Harris this?

"I mean, after all, there won't be only the Harris family's TV station in the future, I suggest that the Ministry of Magic needs to set up a relevant department for unified management, but since this is a new industry, the professional candidates for this department will be decided by us Harris, after all, we are now the first family to contact this thing, so that we can look at the problem from the perspective of both the Ministry of Magic and the TV station, and continue to compromise and improve each other to finally formulate the most reasonable management law. Of course, the authority and scope of this new department will not affect the functions of the existing departments of the Ministry of Magic, but only manage the film and television industry and its related contents. Alan asked pretendedly, but there was no pleading at all.

Fudge understood that this was a condition of not making much noise about the Dementors' attacks on the Savior and Muggles.

It's just that Fudge is a little hesitant about Harris taking control of a new media source, and although the other party's reasons are obvious, he has no idea what kind of impact this so-called TV station may have.

"In fact, we've already made a couple of prototypes, and we've had Mr. Tildentoots, the host of the Wizarding Radio Network, and Miss Fleur Delacour from the Ministry of Magic improvising a pilot for us. Then we'll run a lot of ads in the Daily Contrarian and Prophet, and we'll do pilot airs in places like Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade. The limelight brought by these new things themselves will certainly minimize the attention of the masses to the events of Harry's attack, so that it will not be so conspicuous. What do you think? ”

After much thought, Fudge finally agreed to give approval for the establishment of a functional department for the TV station, and he was persuaded by Allen, who was now anxious to get rid of the effects of the Dementor incident. On the other hand, he was worried that if he didn't give at all, he would be very embarrassed by the fact that the current sales were second only to the Daily Prophet's singing and contrarian reports, and if it was too big, it would make him very disadvantageous when facing Dumbledore recently, if Dumbledore took the opportunity to ......
