Chapter 285: Unseemly Fudge

Under the impact of the "good news" brought by Rove and Dumbledore one after another, Minister Fudge did not resist it and fainted on the spot.

In fact, it is not to blame that Fudge's psychological defense is fragile, who will be the Minister of Magic, who will be woken up in the middle of the night, and then told that the Death Eaters have escaped from prison en masse...... It's all going to have to crash.

So Rove, the veterinarian, came in handy, first pinching people, then CPR, and asking Umbridge to give Fudge artificial respiration and spray water in his face along the way.

Under Rove's superb medical skills, Fudge finally woke up, he gasped, wiped the water from his cheeks, and trembled in fear:

"Death Eaters...... Mass jailbreak? That's impossible...... When pigs fly...... If they break from prison...... Dementors will definitely have feedback. ”

"The Death Eaters were in prison and attacked several Aurors who were on their way to Azkaban." Dumbledore explained:

"If I'm not mistaken, they used Polyjuice Potion to take on the form of the Aurors, put the Aurors in their cells, and left Azkaban.

Dementors are blind, and they can only smell a few wizards coming in and a few leaving, so they are not alarmed. ”

"It can't be." Fudge retorted, "The Death Eaters are locked up in Azkaban, where did they get the Polyjuice Potion, they don't have wands, how can they attack the Aurors......"

"Voldemort brought in." Rove interjected, "Do you remember that Dementor who was missing for months before returning?" Voldemort lodged on it and entered Azkaban. ”

Fudge's eyes widened suddenly, his mouth opened in shock, and he was speechless for several seconds, he glared at Rove and stammered:

"Mystery man lodged on Dementors? Rov, no kidding...... The mysterious man is long dead...... He was on that night thirteen years ago...... He was killed by the boy who didn't die......"

"Obviously." Rove shrugged, "Voldemort is dead, but not completely. ”

Umbridge looked at Fudge, who was trembling, and she suddenly snorted and asked:

"Mr. Scamander, how do you know these things?"

Rove listened to Umbridge's voice, goosebumps rose, he endured the discomfort, and pointed to the meditation basin on the table:

"Before Barty Crouch died, he gave me his memories of how Voldemort and the Death Eaters attacked the Aurors."

Umbridge's eyes lit up with a long sigh. "So, Mysteries and Death Eaters escaped from prison...... Is it all Barty Crouch's memory? ”

Minister Fudge listened to Umbridge's words, and said excitedly like a drowning man grasping at a life-saving straw:

"Barty Crouch memories? That must be fake! Don't forget, Rove, you uncovered the secrets of Crouch and his son and sent them to Azkaban. ”

"And Iβ€”" Fudge pointed to himself again, and said with emotion:

"Snatched Crouch's coveted position as Minister of Magic, and the two of us were his most hated wizards in the world.

He must have deliberately altered his memories to mislead you into believing that the mysterious man was still alive and that everyone would think you were crazy;

He also wanted to trick me into believing that the Death Eaters had escaped en masse, and that if the news was really announced, they would definitely be ousted! ”

"It's really vicious!" The more Fudge spoke, the more excited he became, his face flushed, and he paced around Rove:

"Before Crouch died, he could still come up with this kind of shady trick, Rove, you must not be fooled!"

Rove was noncommittal, and just said softly:

"Mr. Minister, now go to Azkaban and take a look, and you will naturally be able to distinguish the real from the fake.

And the Aurors who were attacked, you can also summon them to check if they have taken the Polyjuice Potion.

But I think they may have disappeared by now. ”

Fudge's face was cloudy, and he turned his head to look at Dumbledore and said:

"Albus, you won't be deceived by Crouch like Rove......"

"Cornelius, the Death Eaters have escaped from prison, and with their help, Voldemort will surely regain his former powerful mana." Dumbledore said seriously:

"You need to take the necessary steps now, and we have the potential to salvage the situation. First and foremost, the most important step is to get wanted for those escaped Death Eatersβ€”"

"Albus, I can't possibly want criminals who are still in Azkaban, that's ridiculous!"

Fudge waved his arm excitedly, and when he saw Dumbledore's eyes staring at him solemnly, he said in a soothing tone:

"Okay, I'll go check it out in Azkaban." With that, he walked briskly towards the door.

After the Minister and Umbridge had left, Professor Moody immediately said:

"Albus, with what I know about Fudge, no matter what he finds in Azkaban, he won't want those Death Eaters."

"yes." Dumbledore said with a solemn expression. "Fudge feared that announcing the escape of a group of Death Eaters would oust the angry populace."

Rove stood aside and didn't speak, but his eyes flickered, and if Fudge didn't want to be decent, then he had to help him be decent.

……

……

The ancient cemetery is full of graves covered with lichens, and the tombstones in front of those graves are engraved with the same ornaments:

A shield of a mountain symbol, two five-pointed stars and a short sword, flanked by two leaping greyhounds.

Voldemort floated in front of a tombstone, quietly listening to Barty Crouch Jr.'s staccato debriefing, and said in a hoarse voice:

"So, not only did you not kill Barty Crouch, but you also allowed Rov Scamander to find him, and you yourself were almost killed by Scamander?!"

Barty Crouch Jr. felt an incomparably murderous aura press down on him, and that aura was more bitter than the cold wind in the cemetery.

"The host...... It's all my incompetence......" Barty Crouch Jr. muttered as he lay on the ground.

"Since you know you're incompetent, you shouldn't come back alive." Voldemort said indifferently.

Bellatrix stood to the sidelines, staring at little Barty, who was covered in blood, wounds from his shoulders to his waist, and his whole body was almost split in half by a thump from the top down.

Under such a serious injury, although little Barty was not dead for a while, he was also dying, and he was angry.

If it had been before, Bellatrix would have ridiculed Barty Crouch Jr. as a waste.

But a year earlier, at the Merlin Medal ceremony, she had used a polyjuice decoction to disguise herself as Lady Karst and attacked Scamander, only to be severely wounded and then fled.

Bella herself is like this, it's really hard to scold little Barty, after all, she doesn't want to be hit by her own boomerang.

Voldemort suddenly asked, "Bella, how is Azkaban's arrangement?" ”

"The wizards who took the Polyjuice Potion and stayed in Azkaban in our place have all been killed." Bella said immediately, but she still hesitated and asked:

"Master, can you fool Dumbledore?"

"There's no need to fool him." Voldemort sneered, "Just fool the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore is not a minister, he is just a cricket Headmaster of Hogwarts." ”

Voldemort glanced at the dying Barty Crouch Jr. and said coldly:

"Take him down and heal him...... He can't die yet. ”

"Yes, master." Bella waved her wand and walked away with Barty Crouch Jr.

She had barely walked out of the cemetery when she heard the demon's angry curses.

Rol Scamander...... It's you again...... It's you every time...... When I am resurrected, I will definitely kill you, skin you and cramp you, and make you into a Yin corpse......"
