Chapter 68: Rita Skeeter's mentality collapsed

What, gotta add money?

What does that mean?

In the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts, after hearing what Li Fei said, Fudge's first reaction was confusion, and the word "confused" was written on his greasy face.

Seeing that Fudge was so weak, Li Fei secretly shook his head in his heart, it seems that he is still far away from successfully getting Fudge and then going to eat.

Hey, hey, hey?

Professors, folks, Li Fei is very hungry, no one can see it?

Hogwarts starved young wizards of their age.

From the principal to the professor, no one cares.

(•̥́ˍ•̀ू)

Headmaster Dumbledore, where do you usually hide the jars of snacks, desserts, and cookies, and can you get me a piece of food first?

Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were spotted watching the students who had not had classes in the afternoon training on the Quidditch playground by the window, and commented with interest as they watched.

Professor McGonagall fully demonstrated her professionalism as a long-time Quidditch fan, changing her stern, silent, and late-talking state to point out the window and talk to Dumbledore.

Listening to it, Li Fei heard a sentence from Professor McGonagall's mouth, "This year is the most promising year for Gryffindor!" ”

Well, hopefully Professor McGonagall will be able to handle her heart and blood pressure when she hears the news that Gryffindor Quidditch Captain Charlie Weasley is preparing to graduate early.

With his back to everyone, Professor Snape pulled a notebook out of his pocket, where he was writing and scratching.

Well, it seems that no one can solve their hunger problem, so they can only deal with Minister Fudge in front of him with all their strength first.

To tell the truth, Li Fei seemed to be hungry for three days at the moment, looking at the photographer's eyes with green light.

Looking at the fat meat in front of him, Li Fei even wanted to sprinkle him with a handful of garlic paste and a handful of salt.

Steaming handle meat, sucking.

Turning his head to look at Fudge's still face-full expression of "you seem to be teasing me", Li Fei could only speak again and solve the problem.

"Minister Fudge, it seems to me that what you are asking for is nothing more than some prestige remedy, am I right?

Although this incident can be diverted from most of the people's attention by the upcoming [Wolf Stabilization Elixir], you will have enough time to make the people gradually forget about the attack caused by the dark wizard.

But this does not improve your personal prestige, and the loss of support caused by it cannot be improved.

The Ministry of Magic is no problem, the people are no problem, only you, the world where the great Minister Fudge is injured has appeared.

You are great enough and forgiving enough, but it would be too cruel for you to bear all these mistakes. ”

Hearing Li Fei say this, Fudge nodded thoughtfully, and hurriedly asked Li Junshi how to remedy it, and Ji will be released?

Well, seeing that Fudge had been fooled and crippled by himself, Li Fei was relieved.

At this time, don't say that you fooled him into buying a pair of crutches, or fooled him into washing himself and making tamales, it is estimated that there is hope.

No, no, it must be that I am too hungry, and the more I look at Fuji, the more I feel fat but not greasy, fragrant but not firewood.

grasped Fu Ji's appeal, and grabbed his "lifeline".

Dumbledore's ambition is up to me Li Fei to realize!

After a little consideration, Li Fei thought about his rhetoric and began to PUA Minister Fuji.

"Now, there is such a credit that can greatly increase your prestige, and it is before you.

It's just that you noble people are so forgetful that you don't pay attention to it.

However, if you want to do anything big, it is a combination of risk and opportunity;

If you want to hear what this opportunity is, you have to promise me two things.

First, you must not forget my benefits, a Merlin Order of the Second Class is not enough, you must give me some more practical benefits;

Second, in the process of my narration, whether you are confused, angry, or even feel that you have been fooled;

You can't interrupt me in the middle of it, you have to listen to me analyze the issue thoroughly.

Only by agreeing to do these two things, can we talk about the specifics below. ”

Although Fu Ji in front of him has been carried away by greedy desires, he is not a fool after all, who can be promoted by Lao Deng as the Minister of Magic.

After thinking about it for a while, under the guidance of Li Feiyi, Fu Ji finally "figured out" the actual meaning of the boy's words in front of him:

Li Fei wanted to bypass Dumbledore and get benefits from himself......

This is undoubtedly the best and last chance for Fuji right now!

Listen to what this kid has to say!

Nodding, Fudge made his promise and motioned for Li Fei to continue.

"Minister Fudge, now that you have agreed to my terms, we are now on the same front.

In my heart, you are my dear friend, my most beloved elder.

Right now, you can't get a cake of the new potions announced, but there's a bigger, more politically charged cake right in front of you, and no one else is looking to compete with you for the time being. ”

gave Fudge a look, signaling him not to interrupt himself for the time being, and to ask any questions when he was finished.

"It all started when I was attacked.

Whether you've heard it before or not, I'm going to elaborate on it for you.

Werewolves are unstable, and you're sure to know that werewolves have always been a unique way to help Dark Wizards and even Death Eaters recruit new members.

And the emergence of [Wolf Stabilization Elixir] is about to completely change the living conditions of werewolves, at least giving them a glimmer of hope, if they are guided, at least it will no longer become a cancer problem in society;

In the long run, some people may gradually adapt to and accept the existence of a stable group of werewolves.

And this will undoubtedly be the last straw that crushes the dark wizards and the Death Eaters, and in this battle for the sense of belonging of werewolves, the Ministry of Magic will win without a fight;

Therefore, at the moment when the success of the [Wolf Stabilization Elixir] is imminent, as a participant in the research and development of the potion, it is natural for me to attract the attention of the dark wizard.

They can't deal with the Potions Master and the Defence Against the Dark Arts Master, Professor Snape, and they turn to ...... like me

A weak, nameless little wizard with just a glimmer of extremely dazzling potions talent must be much more certain.

Therefore, the huge sense of threat, coupled with the pressure caused by the Ministry of Magic's many special precision strikes, forced them to take a risk and decide to infiltrate Hogwarts. ”

Hearing this, Fudge still smiled uncontrollably, Li Fei praised the Ministry of Magic's fixed-point strike for putting pressure on the dark wizard, which is Kwakfuji's command in place.

"As we all know, Hogwarts, with Professor Dumbledore in charge, is the safest existence in the wizarding world in Britain."

Fudge still nodded thoughtfully, regardless of the lineup, Dumbledore, as the strongest white wizard, has no doubt about his strength.

"Then if they want to act, they must be inseparable from the step of finding a way to transfer Professor Dumbledore.

As far as I know, Professor Dumbledore has been frequently invited to meetings by the Ministry of Magic these days.

To be honest, the purpose of the Ministry of Magic is naturally to use his capacity as president of the International Federation of Magic to appease the anger of many pure-blood families and radicals;

According to the history of magic, most young wizards know about the years in the shadow of the mysterious man:

[Many pure-blood families have been minions of mysterious people......]

I think the leaders of the Ministry of Magic should be more than happy to see that the pure-blood family has done enough to prove their "sincerity" with the Death Eaters. ”

Speaking of this, Li Fei winked at Minister Fudge, revealing a "you know" expression.

Fudge patted Li Fei on the shoulder affectionately, and began to feel that his trip to Hogwarts was not a loss.

Although he can't get more honors, if he can get the "big money" of the pure-blood family represented by the Malfoy family, for the sake of the innocence of the family, he "voluntarily" handed over a lot of political donations.

This has a very substantial benefit for Fudge's personal property and the financial records of the Ministry of Magic.

However, Li Fei is obviously not satisfied with this, and his narration continues.

"If you think it's enough to get you a political donation, then all I can say is small, it's small.

The Dark Wizards first used a large number of attacks to force the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic to run around tiredly, causing chaos in the Ministry of Magic's shortage of manpower;

Then he arranged for some well-intentioned people to deliberately stir up the emotions of the radical people, forcing His Excellency the Minister to ask the Headmaster for help, so that Headmaster Dumbledore had a lot of window time when he was not on the Hogwarts campus;

Later, an unregistered Death Eater in the form of an owl Animagus was arranged to infiltrate the owl loft at Hogwarts under the pretext of delivering letters, and secretly observed my movements several times.

In the end, I chose the time period when I was obsessed with studying, had no intention of paying attention to other things, and consumed the most energy and magic, and carried several powerful black magic items to launch a near-perfect attack on me.

Here, we can find a point, a mistake against the Ministers of Magic before you, who made a mistake that led to the current crisis at Hogwarts.

In my conclusion, it is mainly to expose the Ministry of Magic's inadequate monitoring and punishment of [Illegal Animagus].

If Minister Fudge captures this point, he will not only show that you, as the new Minister of Magic, dare to admit your mistakes and dare to challenge your predecessors.

He is also as discerning as a torch, keenly finding out the irrationality of the current system of the Ministry of Magic, which can win you great political prestige.

If done right, you can even get rid of many of the 'remnants' left behind by former ministers of the Ministry of Magic.

I think that all of the above are the 'practical benefits' that you, as the new Minister of Magic, desperately need.

The result of all this, without the reminder of anyone else, is the embodiment of the great wisdom of you, the great Minister of Magic.

I, on the other hand, am just a wise and courageous man who can flexibly grasp the knowledge taught by the professors, regardless of my own personal safety;

To defend the stable governance of the Ministry of Magic and to ensure a stable living environment for the people of the magical world;

He doesn't hesitate to throw his head and spill his blood, loyal and reliable, and an unremarkable 'good little wizard'. ”

Li Fei exhaled deeply.

"And Minister Fudge, you are the great new Minister of Magic who was the first to discover and fill in the gaps of the former Minister of Magic at the most critical moment, and broke the hope of the Death Eaters in their last counterattack."

Fudge's face was flushed with excitement following the flatbread that Li Fei had drawn for him.

As the newly appointed Minister of Magic, yes, Minister Fudge has just taken office.

His predecessor, Minister Millicente, resigned voluntarily due to his age;

And Fudge's biggest rival, Barty Crouch Sr., who is good at using tough tactics to get the highest approval rating, was actually exposed a few years ago that his only son was actually a Death Eater scandal!

Dumbledore, who was expected to return, actually chose to refuse the throne of the Minister of Magic, and instead elected himself to power.

A proper "protagonist template" along the way, Minister Fudge, who "won all the way", was ridiculed by "Singing Contrarian" as "the most inactive Minister of Magic in history" and "the puppet minister supported by Dumbledore".

As a result, although Fudge was still willing to follow Dumbledore's advice, deep down he was desperate to make a difference and prove that he could make a difference in the throne of the Minister of Magic.

That's why Fudge was so in such a hurry to cover up the Death Eater invasion in the first place.

Soon after taking office, the wizarding world, which had been quiet for nine years, saw a large number of blatant attacks by dark wizards.

If it is revealed at this time, the cradle of British magic, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, that there is a terrible and vicious event like the Death Eater invasion, then the approval rating of the new minister, Mr. Fudge, may fall to a record low.

Fudge was really panicked, he was afraid that before he could sit on the throne of the Minister of Magic, he would be kicked down by other people who pretendered his throne!

And the flatbread that Li Fei painted for Fudge was crispy and crispy, with a thousand layers of spices, so that Minister Fudge simply took the initiative to plunge into it and couldn't extricate himself.

It was Minister Fudge who made the decision throughout the process, and Li Fei was just inciting at a critical juncture.

Seeing enough fire is enough, Li Fei decided to sprinkle the last trace of fierce material.

"Minister Fudge, don't be too busy rejoicing, your plan is missing one last step.

You need to get support from the Wizengamot. ”

Hearing Li Fei's words, Fudge's whole person was stunned, and his mouth chewed on the word repeatedly, "Wizengamot...... Wizengamot ...... Wizengamot ...... I still have to beg Dumbledore! ”

The Wizengamot is an organization that predates the Ministry of Magic and now serves as a combination of a court and a parliament.

Consisting of about fifty members, the Supreme Governor is known as the Chief Magician of the Wizengamot.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore, who is rumored to be the "master behind Fudge", is the chief leader of the Wizengamot and the chief magician.

Things are back to square one.

The difference is that this time, although Fudge still has to face Dumbledore, it is not so difficult to accept Dumbledore's conditions for the sake of Fudge's own interests.

The only thing that made Fudge a little resistant in his heart was that he had been trying to bypass Dumbledore and only rely on his own cooperation to make some achievements in order to silence those who had a heart.

"Forget it, first get the benefits that you can get your hands on, and it is necessary to bow your head appropriately, as for playing a piece of the sky on your own, there will be opportunities in the future."

Thinking of this, Fudge looked at Dumbledore by the window.

He knew that Dumbledore's most pressing need at this time was to inform the Ministry of Magic of the Death Eater's reappearance.

But this involves the question of one's own prestige, how to choose......

Fudge couldn't help but look at the first-year student from the East again.

You need a political partner.

And this student from the East, it is said that his family is also a very ancient existence.

And this kid's political sensitivity...... Quite excellent.

Quietly lowering his voice, Fudge asked Li Fei in an inquiring tone:

"I'm going to announce the Death Eaters' invasion of Hogwarts, but how do I avoid ......?"

"Lest the public think that you have taken office and there is so much bad news, so that the people don't point the finger at you, right?"

Li Fei immediately guessed the point that Fudge wanted to ask, which made Fudge's eyes light up.

Just sent the last sentence "Jun is going to be out?" It's a pity that Fudge doesn't understand this, otherwise it would be too appropriate.

Li Fei also lowered his voice: "You don't have to worry, you just need to try your best to point the contradictions and problems at those [Illegal Animagus] and [Tumors of the Former Minister of Magic] like this potion;

Don't be afraid of getting dirty, sometimes only by jumping in and getting covered in mud will people think that you are "out of the mud without staining, and you have a noble character".

The more resolute your attitude is, the more stable your upright and selfless person will be. ”
