The next day, in the Wizard's office, Fudge walked anxiously back and forth around the room like an ant on a hot pot.

On his desk not far from him was a newspaper with a headline on the front page of the Daily Prophet (which had been acquired) -

"Shocked, Azkaban prison is empty, and the guards are in league with the prisoners."

It contains photographs of what is now Azkaban Prison, oppressive black weather, empty rooms, and lonely islands.

The prisoners escaped, and even the dementors, who were the jailers, disappeared.

'This was not a simple prison break, but a premeditated and egregious event'

The entire Azkaban guards are gone? Is this a distortion of human nature or a moral degradation?

Here's the Daily Prophet to dig deeper secrets for you.

"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! ”

Fudge was angry and wanted to tear the newspaper off, but no, he had already torn it into a pile of shredded paper, crumpled it up and threw it in the trash.

Although the entire article does not mention the Ministry of Magic, it is full of sarcasm for the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic

While this is true, Fudge is reluctant to admit it.

How could the Ministry of Magic led by the wise Minister Fudge be incompetent?

This was the position that Dudley had asked him to promote himself during the Sirius incident, but Fudge seemed to be stuck in it.

Not only is this the case with the Prophet Daily, but even the Prophet Daily is rare that it does not sing the opposite, but together with the Prophet Daily, the content of this issue is published.

The content of the Poison and Antidote Daily is relatively euphemistic, but it also says this content.

The mass escape of Azkaban prisoners was too far-fetched for Fudge to suppress if he wanted to, and heavy criminals from all over Europe were being held in that place

If you break from prison, the consequences are unimaginable

"Minister. Liaison Gerze Elebik's death investigation is clear"

Percy walked in from outside the door with a serious face: "Died of. Requires! There is also a mark of this left next to it. ”

As he spoke, he placed a tagged picture in front of Fudge.

Skull and snake.

A distinct mark of the Dark Lord.

"These damned Death Eaters!"

A roar resounded throughout the office.

According to what he knew about Fudge in the past, his first reaction to seeing the Dark Mark was to be frightened, scared, panicked, and uneasy, but it should not be anger.

Maybe it's because the fear has turned into anger to the extreme, or maybe it's the anger caused by being pushed too hard and the nerves in a highly tense state during this time.

In short, Fudge was like an angry wild dog, barking incessantly in the office.

"Dumbledore! Dumbledore must have done it! ”

"He's going to me, he's the one who bought those Death Eaters! It's him! It's him! It's definitely him! ”

"He wants to remove me from the position of Minister of Magic!"

"He arranged everything!"

Fudge swept the objects in his office to the floor like crazy, and even flipped his desk over.

His eyes were red and red, he was panting, and the green tendons on his face were all bulging and bulging.

In his thinking logic, at this time, such a coincidence, such a target for him, could only be Dumbledore.

"It's over. We're done, I'm done."

Fudge sat down on the ground like a deflated ball, his whole face loose.

"No, Minister. We still have a chance."

Percy looked at his top boss earnestly.

"Still a chance?"

Fudge's eyes lit up when he heard this, he really couldn't think of a way to save the current situation.

"As long as we can catch those Death Eaters, as long as we can send them back to prison, as long as we can find evidence of Dumbledore's collusion with the Death Eaters, we can turn the tables again, and you can continue to be the Minister of Magic."

"Dumbledore, he's miscalculated, Minister."

"But that's a bunch of vicious criminals, us."

One second, I longed for a life-and-death duel with Dumbledore, and the next second, I was looking forward and backward.

Fudge is such a character, even if he acts angry and tyrannical, but when he really wants to go, he will become cringe.

Personality dictates

It's like a lot of times before a fight, everyone yells fiercely, and they want to cut the other side into something, but when they really fight, they will never rush.

"Minister, you have to believe that we have strength, our Aurors are not inferior to them!"

"And we can ask for support, in the name of capturing the Death Eaters, there will definitely be a response from the Aurors in many places"

Fudge thought of something and his eyes widened, "You mean?" ”

"That's right. Cooperate with the Ministry of Magic in other regions to carry out arrest operations. ”

"But that would make the Ministry of Magic in England incompetent."

"How can it be incompetent? The Death Eaters were targeting the whole of Europe, and many parts of the country were infested because of it, and the initiation of the Death Eaters by you will definitely teach the Death Eaters a lesson that they will never forget."

Seeing that Fudge still looked hesitant, Percy could only emphasize.

"Minister, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, our only chance to turn the tables around, and you don't want Dumbledore to become Minister of Magic."

The phrase 'Dumbledore became Minister of Magic' deeply stimulated Fudge's nerves, and he only heard him say viciously: "Good! ”

"Don't worry, Minister, I will contact other wizards on your side to help with this. Mr. Dursley, for example, is willing to support us in a special potion, which is a magical potion that can greatly increase the stats of the user, and even a young wizard can fight a seasoned adult wizard with ease. ”

Hearing Percy's words, Fudge suddenly felt hopeful.

"Is it really that amazing?"

"Of course. Minister, you can try it yourself. ”

"Our Auror Chief of Staff, Rufus Scrimgeur, has been rejected by Mr. Dursley more than once when he wants to procure this potion, and now he can provide it exclusively to you."

"But he's not a student of Dumbledore"

"He's very optimistic about you."

Percy continued, "He has said more than once that Dumbledore is only fit to be Headmaster, and you are only fit to be Minister. ”

This sentence simply spoke to Fudge's heart.

'I'm the Minister of Magic!' ’

Fudge looked at Percy from the bottom of his heart and said, "Thanks to you." ”

"Minister, all of this is the teaching of your wise and martial arts."

Thousands of clothes are not worn, and Fudge immediately became proud and smug.

"Hahaha"

However, what Fudge didn't notice was that Percy, who was originally standing respectfully behind him, raised his head slightly, pointed the tip of his chin to Fudge's back, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, as if he was looking at an idiot.
