Chapter 551: Understatement

"yes--"

Amosta bowed slightly, and he calmly said as if he hadn't told Fudge about this at all,

I warned her that this was not the same thing as the sensationalism she had made in the past, and advised her that it would be better to fully estimate the consequences of doing so. It did make her hesitate, but I think, Minister, you'd better talk to her about it in person. ”

"Of course!" Fudge stepped out of his desk, his hands behind his back and restlessly walking around in front of everyone,

"I'm going to warn her in person, if she doesn't listen."

After a few seconds of hesitation, he looked away at the unexplained group of people at the conference table, "Alright, Rufus, you'll come with me later, and we'll meet Rita Skeeter!" ”

"Okay, Ministerβ€”"

Rufus strode up to Fudge, his eyes twitched for a moment, and he lowered his head and whispered in Fudge's ear,

"What we're talking about now I mean, Remus Lupin, the werewolf, do you think the Auror Office needs to take some measures to get him out of St. Mungo's Residency Department--"

Fudge was about to shout at what was the most urgent matter now, but he suddenly realized that the werewolf was involved in a lot of trouble, and one of them was in his office at this time.

Tuk, tuk, tuk – just then, there was another knock on the office door.

"Who is it?" Fudge asked impatiently, interrupting his thoughts.

"It's me, Tonks, Minister, may I ask if Mr. Scrimgeour is in the office too, I have something to report!"

Outside the door, the voice was crisp, revealing a clear joy.

"Tonks, that talented little girl in your department?"

Fudge thought for a second or two before remembering who Tonks was, and normally, staff members would not report past their superiors and higher-ups, and the Tonks outside the door made Fudge and Scrimgeour frown at the same time.

"You go and ask her something--"

Fudge confessed to Rufus, and he himself turned and walked to the hanger, ready to get his hat.

The door opened, and Tonks was excited to see the angry face of his boss, Rufus Scrimgeur, which startled her, and even her bright hair changed color in an instant.

"What do you want to report, Tonks?"

Rufus stared condescendingly at Tonks, who was a little shrunken, and his tone was cold.

"Oh, Mr. Scrimthour--"

Tonks was taken back a few steps by Rufus Scrimgeour's fierce face, because of her vision, she couldn't see Amosta in the office, so, after steasing her mind, Tonks raised her voice to make sure everyone in the office could hear her,

"Lucius Malfoy wants to see you, Minister, and Mr. Scrimgeour!"

"Lucius Malfoy?"

Fudge's voice came from the back of the office, and he repeated it in confusion, then raised his voice and said,

"I don't have time to see him now, let him come over at another time!"

"You heard the Minister's orders, Tonksβ€”" Rufus said in a cold tone, "and, I have a question, Tonks, when did you start working as Assistant to the Minister?" ”

Needless to say, Tonks knew that she had taken the liberty to come over to report that her immediate boss was upset, but she didn't flinch and still said loudly,

"However, Mr. Lucius Malfoy had a criminal brought in him, and he found the Auror office and told me that a thief tried to break into the office of the head of the Malfoy family's factory last night and tried to steal a painting of place names adorned with precious gems, and was caught by the security personnel in the factory I thought it would have something to do with the case you were discussing, so--"

"Oh, it's true!"

Sirius let out an incredible cry of surprise, and he ran briskly, squeezing past the stunned Rufus, staring at Tonks with burning eyes,

"The real murderer has been caught, isn't he?"

"That's how it should be!"

Tonks exchanged excited glances with Sirius and forced a smile in his face.

Next to the hanger in the office. A dark green top hat landed on the ground, and Fudge stared out the door, the astonishment on his face almost identical to that of Rufus Scrimgeur.

"What's the matter, Minister?" Amosta asked with concern, "Is there a big case in the ministry lately, do you need my help?" ”

Fudge's broad shoulders shuddered, and he slowly shifted his gaze to fix his gaze on Amosta's face, and in a matter of seconds, countless thoughts flashed through Fudge's mind, and finally fixed on Amosta Bryne's peculiar, incomparably deep purple eyes.

"You don't know?" Fudge's voice was sharp and not like his own, "You don't know anything about Remus Lupin?" ”

"Remus?" Amosta blinked and asked in confusion, "What happened to Remus?" ”

Fudge was speechless for a moment, while Amosta frowned and looked out the door, asking in a loud voice,

"What's going on, Sirius, what's going on with Remus?"

Sirius pulled Tonks through the sculptural Scrimgeour and into the office. Until now, he finally understood that everything was done by Amosta, although he didn't know how Amosta did it!

"Recently, some workshops and companies like the Ministry of Magic reported that they had been invaded, oh, of course, they didn't actually lose anything and we were sent out on guard, and Remus was discovered, in"

"Oh!"

Amosta's brow furrowed even deeper, and he interrupted Sirius's words, looking at Fudge in confusion,

"Is there a possible misunderstanding, minister, I understand Remus, he is not the one who would do such a thing. Is it possible--"

Amosta paused in his tone and asked,

"Remus is actually looking for a job, as far as I know, since he left Hogwarts, he's been looking for a new way out--"

"It can't be!"

Delix, who was dizzy by the succession of things, shouted.

"I'm just offering a possibility--"

Amosta didn't mind Delix's yelling, he shrugged his shoulders and said in a deep tone,

"Of course, this will need to be investigated by the Ministry of Magic before it can be concluded, and if Remus did commit a crime, then he deserves to be punished. Is that so, Minister? ”

Fudge's hand twitched as he held the list, and his head began to sweat again as Amosta watched.

Fudge's lips squirmed a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Minister?"

Amosta asked again with concern.

"Oh ahem, well, of course. Of course it is! ”

Fudge took a few deep breaths and squeezed out a forced smile at Amosta,

"Let me think about it. Well, yes, it needs to be investigated, then-"

Fudge wiped the sweat from his forehead, and after a few seconds of silence, he spoke to everyone

"--Tonks, you go and send Lucius Malfoy to makeshift prison, Rufus, Delix, Kingsley, you three come with me to see Rita, we have to deal with a big problem and this matter has something to do with you, and then Sirius, you go and make sure that the matter is as Amosta said, is it possible that Remus is going to do something. Make an appointment, in short, you go to someone to ask, if there is a misunderstanding, then clarify it as soon as possible! ”

Fudge left his office with a few men who almost fled, forgetting to even say hello to Amosta as he left.

"It's over?"

Sirius looked at Amosta in surprise.

"Or else?"

Amosta chuckled softly,

"Ah, do you want to help Remus claim a compensation?"
