Ten years is not a short time, but the lifespan of a wizard is much longer than that of ordinary people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Many of those responsible for Sirius's case have retired, but many more are still serving in the Ministry of Magic. And because of their age and seniority, their positions in the Ministry of Magic were not much lower.

Several of these people are also barely qualified to compete for the position of Minister of Magic, so their relationship with the current Minister of Magic, Fudge, can be imagined.

And Fudge's ability to sit in the position of Minister of Magic naturally has his own outstanding political skills. After realizing that the repercussions of Sirius's case were inevitable, he directly pushed it away, and when he took part of the responsibility himself, he put more responsibility on the heads of those people.

Those "old seniors" naturally don't want to carry this pot of black water, but whoever let them really handle this case back then, they can't hide if they want to, they can only grit their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, and on the surface, they have to make a sincere appearance of taking their mistakes.

With the power of suppressing political opponents and the various shows in front of the people, Fudge's reputation in the British wizarding community could not help but not be damaged in this incident, but increased a lot.

But unfortunately, as Dumbledore once said, Fudge is indeed a little lacking in the big picture, and he is a little self-interested.

In the retrial of Sirius's case, not only did he not suffer, but he also got a lot of cheap Fudge, and his psychology inevitably swelled up a little. In order to completely suppress those potential competitors, he actually used Sirius's case as an excuse to propose at a meeting of the Ministry of Magic that all those cases should be retried.

This time it's going to explode, others don't know, can the Ministry of Magic still not know about it? Sirius was far more than the case in which there were doubts and disagreements at trial, but the verdict was completed in a very short time!

It's just for the sake of political stability, plus there are still a lot of pure-blood family forces behind it, so some cases have passed in a blur. Some of the personnel of the Ministry of Magic who have been involved in it, even if they know that there is something wrong with it, they have been tacitly silent in the face of the benefits they can get from it, and no one will take the initiative to mention it again.

You must know that the impact of those cases at the beginning was not only about the parties themselves, but also about a large number of coveted interests behind them. In the case of Sirius, when he, the only remaining direct member of the Black family, was imprisoned in the Azikaban prison, the Black family's property would nominally belong to the closest relatives to him.

And who else is the closest person to Sirius in the world? In addition to his cousin Bellatrix, who was also imprisoned in Azikaban, there was only his other cousin, the current Malfoy family patriarch's wife, whose original name was Narcissa Black, and now known as Narcissa Malfoy.

And a similar situation has happened in several pure-blood families, how can they tolerate spitting out the benefits they have already received now!

So when Fudge proposed to reopen these cases at this moment, it immediately caused a stir among politicians with pure-blood family backgrounds.

Although Fudge knew that his purpose was only to fight those political enemies, others did not know what he was thinking, and thought that he was trying to move the "cakes" that had already been allocated.

All of a sudden, the Ministry of Magic couldn't help but put itself in danger, and even some officials who had been friends with Fudge began to have some doubts about Fudge's real purpose in doing so.

Lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, he is talking about Fudge's current situation, which was originally a good situation, but it was completely ruined by one of his proposals. What's more, because of this proposal, Fudge also caused a lot of resentment among the real powers behind the wizarding world, the major pure-blood families.

After realizing that something was wrong with everyone's attitude, Fudge quickly realized that he had done something stupid, but when he tried to make amends, he realized that it was too late, and the effects of the incident had already spread.

I don't know who is behind the ghost, deliberately leaked Fudge's proposal at the Ministry of Magic meeting, it just so happens that the people's attention to the Sirius case has not subsided at this time, and after learning the content of Fudge's proposal, many wizards have expressed strong approval of this proposal.

"Even heroes like Sirius can be misjudged, who knows how many unjust, false and wrongful convictions were in the cases of that year......"

This kind of statement, which obviously has a strong tendency to guide, actually has a lot of market among the people, and it is difficult to say that there is no guidance from people behind it.

By the time the Ministry of Magic found out that something was wrong and wanted to block the news, it was too late, and the content of Fudge's proposal at the Ministry of Magic meeting had already caused a lot of public opinion among the people.

Of course, not all wizards are in favor of retrying the case of that year, and some wizards believe that Sirius's case is only a special case and cannot be regarded as a representative of the whole.

It's just that the wizards who hold this view are a minority after all, and under the guidance of well-intentioned people, most of the wizards in the British wizarding world, including many wizards who have a certain degree of influence in all walks of life, have explicitly or implicitly expressed their support for the Ministry of Magic to retry all the cases during that period.

Sometimes the power of public opinion cannot be underestimated, and when it was discovered that almost half of the wizards in the British wizarding community had expressed their support for Fudge's proposal, even if the Ministry of Magic was reluctant, it could only hold a high-level meeting with its nose and revisit the proposal that had been unanimously rejected by them before.

Obviously, due to public opinion, there can only be one outcome of this meeting, and that is to adopt Fudge's previous proposal at the meeting.

The meeting ended without many twists and turns, and it was the first time that Fudge's proposal for the Minister of Magic had been adopted so quickly. It's just that throughout the meeting, almost none of the Ministry of Magic officials had a good look at Fudge.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this public opinion is being driven by someone behind it, and judging from the current situation, Fudge's suspicion is undoubtedly the greatest.

This kind of situation like borrowing the public opinion to force the passage of a proposal has not happened in the history of the wizarding world before, and even the last time this happened was not far from the current era.

More than thirty years ago, a member of parliament forced a proposal to put a magical creature on the protection list.

Fudge's style of acting in the past can easily be associated with him.

In the face of the condemnation in everyone's eyes, Fudge was suffering at the moment, this incident was really not instigated by him behind his back, after his proposal was rejected at the last meeting of the Ministry of Magic, he had already recognized the risks of his proposal, and he had long given up the idea of continuing to use this opportunity to fight political opponents.

Who knew that someone would intervene sideways, although Fudge didn't know who was behind the public opinion this time, but the other party's approach was undoubtedly to put him on the fire to roast.

When the results of the proposal were made public, Fudge's popularity among the people could not help but soar again, and the major newspapers and publications also reversed their previous attitude towards the Ministry of Magic, and praised the current government of the Ministry of Magic, especially the current Minister Fudge.

Contrary to the folk situation, Fudge's popularity in the Ministry of Magic this time can be said to have dropped below the freezing point all of a sudden.

Between gains and losses, which is more important, Fudge doesn't know whether he should cry or laugh.
