Chapter 64: Dumbledore eats this
Inside the principal's office.
Looking at the Minister of Magic who suddenly appeared from the fireplace uninvited in front of him, Li Fei subconsciously regarded him as the lucky star Tamu in the clouds.
Minister Fudge had a round ab that he swore to be together forever, and he had the baldness of a classic English old man.
There is also a lot of "tenacious" hair on the sides and the back of his head, which makes him look a little rich when wearing his gorgeous wizard hat.
A gorgeous wizard's robe in red and gold, tightly clinging to Minister Fudge's big belly.
A golden-red belt was knotted on one side, and the two ends fluttered behind Fudge, somewhat resembling a golden Hada.
After smiling and greeting Dumbledore, then nodding to Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape, and even trying to curry favor with Dumbledore's Phoenix Fawkes, Fudge finally spotted Li Fei standing across from him.
"Oh, hello kid, I'm Minister of Magic, Fudge, don't be too inhibited."
After Fudge said to himself, thinking that he was very cordial to Li Fei, and in fact did not even ask Li Fei's name, Fudge held his strong belly and smiled flatteringly at Dumbledore.
Turning his head, his face changed at the speed of light, and he put on a businesslike expression towards the others in the office: "I have some official affairs of the Ministry of Magic that I would like to discuss with Headmaster Dumbledore, how many ...... Isn't it...... Evade it for a while? ”
Something embarrassing happened, no one, including Li Fei, looked in Fudge's direction, and no one responded to Minister Fudge with even half a word.
This made Fudge a little embarrassed.
He was about to instruct the Aurors behind him to drive people away, but Yu Guang saw the bitter expressions of the two young Aurors behind him.
Fudge thought quickly that when he first approached the two men, he had heard them say that they had been very favored and cared for by Professors McGonagall and Snape when they were in school.
Now, these two professors happen to be here, how can these two young Aurors have the courage to face their former professors, and still be able to drive people away with righteous words?
Then, only the student in the office who looked like he was Asian.
The faces of Asians, at first glance, are not descendants of pure-blood nobles in Britain, and they will not get into trouble that they should not be troubled with.
Who was Dumbledore?
With just one look, Fudge could see that he was planning to find someone to make his name for him as Minister of Magic.
looked at Li Fei, who was still recuperating from his injuries, this kid has had enough troubles recently, and there is no need for him to get into trouble with Fudge again.
Stretching out his hand to stop Fudge, who was about to speak, Dumbledore said, "Fudge, you have come at the right time, we are discussing the recent decline in the recognition of the Ministry of Magic in the hearts of the people.
"Oh! My old friend," Fudge clapped his hands exaggeratedly, "don't be surprised by all the gossip.
Listen to me, if you're willing to stand up for me to stop the repercussions of this incident, I promise it will soon be back in my hands. ”
Dumbledore stared at Fudge, his blue eyes firmly fixed on the man in front of him, who was still trying to hide everything:
"Connelly, you know, that guy was just defeated, he wasn't completely dead.
This is the case when a Death Eater invades Hogwarts in an attempt to take control of the first-year student in front of them, using his Gringotts vaults to gather materials for Voldemort's resurrection.
One day, the man who cast a shadow on the whole of the British wizarding world will be resurrected, and we need to plan for it.
Blindly covering up will not solve the problem, we should look at the problem and solve the problem. ”
"No!" Fudge's eyes widened and his face flushed, "This has nothing to do with the Death Eaters!"
All the Death Eaters were imprisoned by the Ministry of Magic in Azkaban Prison, you see, it's all!
None of the Death Eaters were on the run, no! Not a single one!
Dumbledore, you're just trying to exaggerate the seriousness of the incident, after all, you're the same person as me, and you want the crisis to happen again and the people to return to the feeling they had when they were dependent on you.
You're deliberately creating a crisis! This is alarmism, it is a lie! ”
"Calm down, Connelly," Dumbledore reached out and patted Minister Fudge on the shoulder, "you know I have no intention of getting involved in the position of Minister of Magic.
When I first recommended you to the Wizengamot (a council similar to the Ministry of Magic), I said that I had no intention of accepting the position of Minister of Magic, and I believed that Fudge would do your duty as a good Minister of Magic.
But now, Connelly, you've changed.
Being in a high position for a long time makes you unscrupulous in order to keep your position as minister, and you are not even willing to open your eyes to face reality. ”
As Dumbledore spoke, Minister Fudge closed his eyes deeply.
For a long time, he sighed.
"The Ministry of Magic has the bottom line of the Ministry of Magic." "We can't release this information to the general public, whether it's true or not, whether the Death Eater has been killed or not," he said.
It has nothing to do with right or wrong, the Ministry of Magic's first duty is to maintain the stability of the British wizarding world and prevent panic among the populace. ”
Li Fei on the side listened to Fudge say these "crooked theories".
To be honest, there is some truth in Fudge's words, and many times, ignorance is a blessing.
I don't know that I can actually live a very comfortable life, but if I know, I will always remember and mutter.
However, I thought that these words came from the mouth of Fudge, an "official fan".
Then these words become like waste paper, they are just Fudge's high-sounding shirks, and there is no reliable truth.
Fudge in front of him pulled his little hair on his temples deeply, regardless of the presence of other people around him, and he was not afraid of being embarrassed, so he looked at Dumbledore with a begging face.
"The people of the British wizarding community, under the deliberate guidance of a group of people with ulterior motives, have begun to develop resistance to the Ministry of Magic.
If this continues, the credibility of the Ministry of Magic will drop dramatically.
At this moment, with a little incitement, the British wizarding world will set off a huge wave that can be overturned, and the stable life of countless people will no longer exist.
I don't think you want to see that happen, Dumbledore? ”
Fudge stared at Dumbledore tightly, it was his last card.
It's a pity that Dumbledore still has a bottom line after all, or in other words, Fudge's idea of "focusing on the overall situation and seeking stability and survival" moved Dumbledore and made him let go of his persistence.
After all, Dumbledore really ate this set.
He fully supports letting him sacrifice some of his own people, or a small part of his own interests, in exchange for the stability of the majority.
After all, "for a greater purpose"!
There is no shame.
