Chapter 14: The Murderer Behind the Scenes (Asking for Recommendation Tickets, Asking for Monthly Tickets, Seeking Follow-up)

In the solemn and tense hall of the Ministry of Magic, Arthur's words instantly attracted the attention of all wizards.

"Who is this kid?"

"It seems to be..."

Some wizards who were not in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and were squeezed for news looked at Arthur beside Grindelwald, and their faces couldn't help but show doubt.

After figuring out that the child was the boy who had written the wizarding world into a novel, they were curious and puzzled.

In particular, the child showed composure that surpassed that of his peers, and they were even more curious.

But at this time, the first Dark Lord in a hundred years was still in front of them, and they just cast their eyes on Arthur, and no one dared to come forward and speak.

"Arthur Pendragon. Your business is just a routine inquiry, don't worry. ”

Fudge covered his forehead and said with a complicated expression.

Even the stupidest people now realize that the reason why Grindelwald is here must be related to Arthur.

Originally, the problem of dealing with Arthur was a headache for him because of Dumbledore's relationship.

Now there's another Dark Lord who has crawled out of prison, Grindelwald.

Fudge's brain was spinning, and he couldn't figure out why Grindelwald knew Arthur.

What to kill Arthur... This kind of reason, except for the little wizards who have not yet entered the society, will believe.

None of the people present felt that Grindelwald's reasoning was true.

In the silent hall, the two sides still confronted each other without saying a word.

With the exception of a few paper cranes flying around, each wizard could hear the breathing and heartbeat of himself and his companions around him.

Most of those present had not experienced that era, but Grindelwald's prestige and fear were deeply rooted in their souls.

"Is it just a routine inquiry? Let's get started now. ”

Arthur looked at the overly nervous wizards and tilted his head slightly to take out his diary.

"Uh..."

Fudge looked at Arthur with a stunned expression, looking at his serious face.

I couldn't help but feel angry in my heart, didn't this child recognize the situation in front of him?

Grindelwald's appearance at the Ministry of Magic is much more serious than his.

"Arthur Pendragon, your previous actions are a serious violation of the Secrecy Act. Now that Gellert Grindelwald has been lured to the Ministry of Magic, he has committed an unpardonable sin. ”

A middle-aged woman in a pink woolen cardigan and a pink hat spoke to Arthur in a sharp voice.

The broad, loose-skinned face was twisted and distorted, and vicious eyes were fixed on Arthur.

"Director Umbridge! The jury of the Wizengamot court has not yet reached a conclusion on Arthur's matter. You shouldn't impose these charges on an 11-year-old. ”

Minister Fudge suppressed his anger and yelled at Dolores Umbridge.

Behind the sudden change of attitude towards Arthur at the top of the Ministry of Magic is the shadow of the director of the Office for the Prohibition of the Abuse of Magic.

Fudge didn't understand, it was clear that Dumbledore had vouched for Arthur. Why are these people pestering a child?

"Minister Fudge, while you're out in the morning, the Wizengamot Court Panel has completed the trial of Arthur Pendragon."

Umbridge shook the fat on his face and whispered coldly to Fudge.

There was no respect for the top boss in that disgusting smile.

Although Fudge is the Minister of Magic, she is the Director of the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic. Arthur reveals the actions of the wizarding world within her jurisdiction.

Amelia Bones will be stepping down from her position as Director of the Law Enforcement of Magic in a few years' time.

Umbridge, who has been in the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic for many years, needs to have a good track record if she wants to run for the position of director.

And Arthur's incident made her see hope and see the picture of herself sitting in the director's office.

For the support of pure-blood wizards, Umbridge has been lobbying members of the Wizengamot Court Court these days.

Looking at Arthur in front of him, Umbridge smiled even more. As long as Arthur is arrested, then she will be richly rewarded for her efforts these days.

"This man is extremely ugly, and at first glance he looks like a skeletal cub. If she becomes the Deputy Minister of Magic, then a lot of people will be out of luck. ”

Arthur looked at the woman who had convicted him of a trumped-up crime, looked up at Grindelwald and said.

"Did you see something?"

Grindelwald glanced at Umbridge and asked Arthur meaningfully.

"A vicious woman who, during Voldemort's rise to power, turned the wizarding world into a miasma."

Arthur said in a deep voice, recalling the fragmented memories in his mind.

"What did you say?"

Umbridge heard this and pointed his wand at Arthur and yelled.

She didn't expect this Muggle kid to slander him for being in the company of a mysterious person in front of so many colleagues.

"Now that you've made up your mind about me. Then I don't need to cooperate with you in any routine inquiries. ”

Arthur ignored the angry Umbridge, even though her eyes were as vicious as a viper.

"Voldemort is coming back, so you better think about how to deal with him."

"I've got to go beforehand, and if you want to trouble me, I don't mind letting everyone know about the wizard's existence... Although it may give me another huge debt..."

Arthur's words stunned all the wizards who understood why he was condemned.

The timid wizards, who were already nervous because of Grindelwald, heard the word "Voldemort" first, and were even more frightened that they couldn't even hold their wands.

"What? Arthur, this is not nonsense! ”

Minister Fudge yelled at Arthur, his forehead covered with sweat in anger.

He didn't get any information from Dumbledore that Arthur could predict the future.

But a child who had never been exposed to the wizarding world knew what happened eleven years ago.

It is also possible that his statement that "Voldemort is about to return" is true.

He knew better than they did the secrets of the wizarding world.

What is his power? Why did this world give birth to such monsters! ’

Minister Fudge glanced at the faces of his colleague next to him, and then at Arthur, who was standing beside Grindelwald.

He was so tired, he wanted Dumbledore to come soon.

"In order that you don't waste all your energy on me, I kindly remind you that a certain Auror named Yaxley is a Death Eater."

"Oh, it's the dull-looking man behind this nasty woman who looks like a toad."

Arthur raised his arm and pointed the pencil in his hand at Yaxley behind Umbridge, and said to all the wizards.

"Slander! You're slandering! Secretary Fudge, Director Bones, we have to arrest Arthur Pendragon. It is likely that he has a connection to the mystery man! ”

Yaxley said angrily to his two superiors who were looking at him, with a gloomy face.

Dumbledore had set a spell at St. Mary's Orphanage, and the Death Eaters were now unable to go there to capture Arthur.

In order to complete his master's mission, Yaxley had to find Umbridge with several other Death Eaters......

'Monster! His presence will definitely threaten the return of his master! ’

A hint of cruelty flashed in Yaxley's vicious eyes, and the wand in his hand was covertly aimed at Arthur.
