Chapter 134: Accountability and Resignation
Ministry of Magic.
Fudge was overwhelmed.
Not only ordinary wizards, but even the Divine Twenty-Eight Clans have come forward.
Lucius Malfoy's lips were three points of sneer, three points of coldness, and four points of nonchalance.
The white-blond hair was neat, and the cane tapped lightly on the ground, not too big or too small in the noisy Ministry of Magic.
"Knock knock."
A voice rang out, and the Ministry of Magic officials looked away.
Lucius is no longer what he used to be, and is back on the Board of Governors of Hogwarts and the owner of the Museum of the Dark Arts.
The corners of Fudge's mouth twitched slightly, and he glared at Lucius, "Lucius, what are you doing here?" โ
"Minister Fudge, of course I'm here on behalf of the Hogwarts Board."
Stepping past the noisy crowd, Lucius found a place to sit down.
This is a press conference specially held by Fudget to shake off the pot, and now Fudge is on pins and needles.
The gold medal reporter for the Daily Prophet, Rita Skeeter, is below.
Fudge and her boss agreed that when the next step begins, she asks Rita to ask some questions about Tumbledown Alley, pointing the finger at Johnny Silverhand.
As long as the topic is buzzing enough, even if the Dementors break into Hogwarts, it will be covered up.
It's just a Malfoy, and Fudge glared at Lucius hatefully, and when he was okay, he must settle accounts with this former Death Eater.
More and more people came, and there was a noise.
Fudge looked at it, and his face turned ugly.
"Damo Alex." He gritted his back molars, and his big face became hideous.
This Merlin Medal recipient, Damo Alex Belby is extremely active.
The last time Hagrid was under pressure, it was Damo Alex.
Not only that, but there was a shutter sound.
Gorgeous turquoise-coloured wizarding robes, popular best-selling author Gilderoy Lockhart is also here, and he has won the Wizarding Weekly Award for Most Charming Smile for the sixth time.
This top of the wizarding world would actually attend a meeting of the Ministry of Magic.
Fudge couldn't stop him, as Lockhart was also a Merlin Medalist, indicating that he was influential in the wizarding world.
Moreover, he is also a member of the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance, which is not simple, it was created by a pure-blood, and most of them are big names or officials of the Ministry of Magic of various countries.
Lockhart was able to enter it because of his super high influence.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Fudge's mouth, others didn't know that he hadn't eaten dry food when he had been Minister of Magic all these years, and Gilderoy Lockhart was a liar, and this matter couldn't be hidden from him at all.
If Lockhart is not interested, he doesn't mind exposing the other party's liar in public and sending people to Azkaban in order to counteract public opinion.
Fudge, who thinks he has a lifeline, asks his assistant to bring a message to Lockhart, and Lockhart nods from afar, Fudge thinks he is interested.
When the crowd finally arrived, Fudge straightened his clothes and walked to the podium.
He gave Rita a look, and Rita looked down, not knowing what she was writing.
"Ahem, thank you fellow wizarding community for coming here."
Official, I don't know that I thought Fudge had caught Sirius.
A lengthy opening sentence that wears down the patience of others.
Lucius raised his hand with a lazy expression, his voice was not small and sarcastic, and said, "Minister Fudge, if you can, you can get to the point first." โ
The corners of his mouth were flirtatious, and he sneered, "No one wants to know how many cubs your has had." โ
There was a burst of suppressed laughter in the room, and Fudge felt that his face could not be lifted, and he had to get to the point.
Giving Rita a look, he cleared his throat, "Just feel free to ask." โ
Rita stood up very cooperatively, and Fudge said with a smile on her face, "It's you." โ
He expects to hear questions about Johnny Silverhand, the dark dictator of Tumbledown Alley, only to be sharp.
"For those who advocate the use of Dementors, what do you think about the Dementors' entry into Hogwarts during their missions?"
Sharp!
Fudge's eyes widened in disbelief, and he stared at Rita as if he suspected that she was being pretended.
"Is it a dereliction of duty on the part of the Ministry of Magic that the Dementors are not controlled?"
"Sirius Black is still a threat to the wizarding world, do you need to be held responsible?"
"I've heard that ten pure-blood families have filed a protest against you, what do you think about that?"
"Rufus Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office, once proposed to you that the Aurors control the Dementors, is it selfish that you don't agree?"
One question after another, like a sharp blade, plunged into Fudge's already not wide chest.
He gasped for air, and his little eyes turned red.
He didn't expect Rita Skeeter to be the first person to betray him, is the Daily Prophet going to rebel, what the hell are they doing!
"Ahem." Lucius got up gracefully, and he looked around, everyone's eyes shifting to him.
He sneered, "On behalf of the Hogwarts Board of Trustees, the Despised Ones are holding the Ministry of Magic accountable for its failures." โ
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the reporters lit up one by one.
At this moment, Damo Alex's cane fell heavily and said coldly: "The Potions Master Alliance has doubts about Cornelius Fudge's ability to continue to lead the Ministry of Magic, and we hope that there will be a wise leader, not a clown who can't be put on the table." โ
Murder and heartbreaking!
The Potions Master Alliance, which Damo Alex called it, is an organization composed of cutting-edge figures in Potions science, with no more than ten internal members, but each of them is a hugely influential Potions Master.
As soon as Gilderoy Lockhart saw that the bigwigs were all coming out, he didn't pretend to be an ostrich.
With the most charming smile on his face for six consecutive times in Wizarding Weekly, he stood up and said, "I also question Cornelius Fudge's abilities, if I were here, there would never be such a thing as a Dementor storming the school!" โ
As soon as he spoke, Fudge's already red eyes turned even redder.
Forget the previous ones, you don't know how to come and join in the fun.
He angrily pointed at Lockhart and yelled, "You liar, everything is a liar, he's a guy who doesn't know anything!" โ
Already carried away by the backstab, Fudge shouted to the striker next to him, "Grab him and throw him into Azkaban!" โ
These were the striker teams that played for Fudge, and they immediately shot when they heard the words.
The red light of the Sleepy Spell flew towards Lockhart.
Fudge's hideous face flashed with a hint of pleasure, as if he saw Lockhart being exposed, and the huge news helped him cover up today's events.
"Armor protection! ๏ผProtego๏ผโ
Lockhart let out a pompous shout, and an iron charm appeared on his body to bounce the attack away.
Then he drew his wand and said calmly: "It seems that you are trying to attack me, Merlin third-class medalist, honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance." โ
Fudge was a little puzzled, he knew that Lockhart couldn't have such a powerful Iron Armor Charm.
The magic from the ring poured into the wand, and Lockhart smiled confidently, and immediately struck, disarming the spell and sending a striker flying.
Several red rays of light were blocked by his iron armor spell that looked like eyes on the back of his head.
With each shot, a striker will be knocked flying.
There were a total of five strikers present, and three of them teamed up to attack opposite Lockhart.
Lockhart strolled around, one hand behind his back, and in one hand he flicked a spell in his wand and counterattacked.
He single-handedly pressed the three strikers back and forth, and he didn't even need to use the spell in the back, and the clever silent spell made the mouth open wide.
"Broken bones! ๏ผReducto๏ผโ
The intense white light turned into a ball and hit the three of them, and the three of them flew out.
Lockhart withdrew his hand and said with a melancholy expression: "Why bother, why let me do it." โ
It's okay now, Fudge, who wanted to catch Lockhart's collapsed house and flip it, collapsed the whole person, as long as his eyes are not blind, everyone knows Lockhart's strength, why use lies to maintain it.
No one saw it, and Lockhart was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
He wore a ring full of ten fingers, and only one remained.
The drama came to an end, and with the release of the Daily Prophet the next day, Cornelius Fudge was forced to step down early due to multiple accountability and scandals.
Rufus Scrimgeur, head of the Auror Office, who has taken over as Minister of Magic and has vowed to ensure the safety of Hogwarts students as much as possible.
"We'll grab Sirius Bright at all costs, and drown him in a urinal wherever we run across, in the toilet."
Iron-blooded style, changing the previous weakness of the Ministry of Magic.
The Aurors travel to Hogwarts to take care of security and manage the Dementors.
...
"It's so handsome."
Ron's face turned red with excitement, and he followed Rufus Scrimgeur's tone and said, "Drowning him in a urinal when you meet him in the toilet is the real Iron Auror!" โ
Harry also excitedly stabbed the potato with his fork, believing that this was the real Auror.
It's Harry who is a little sorry for Fudge, this person was quite good to himself when school started.
The long table in Slytherin.
"Draco, this is your dad."
Slytherin gave Malfoy an envious look, and Malfoy puffed out his chest proudly.
In the Daily Prophet, Lucius Malfoy is talking and laughing inside, which is the glory of the Malfoy family returning to the upper echelons of the wizarding world after a long absence!
John looked at the newspaper, and Fudge stepped down, although Rufus Scrimgeour was only a temporary Minister of Magic, and this could be taken out for the time being as long as Sirius was captured.
