Chapter 580: Cornelius Fudge
Originally, Chris was also going back to the Ministry of Magic, and after the Triwizard Tournament, he still had a lot of finishing touches to complete as one of the judges...... For example, send the magical beasts that appeared in the maze back to their original places.
The part that Hagrid provided was easy to say, as long as it was released back into the Forbidden Forest, but there were also quite a few magical beasts that Newt had provided, and Chris needed to send them back.
However, after what had just happened, he suddenly changed his mind, and before leaving Hogwarts, he wanted to go to Dumbledore first.
"I think you'd better go later, or pick another time." Kyle reminded, "Secretary Fudge is also in the principal's office, and the atmosphere there is not going to be very good. ”
"It's okay, I can wait." Chris said, then glanced solemnly in the direction of the castle.
As a member of the Ministry of Magic, he certainly knew what Fudge's personality was, and he knew that he absolutely did not want to believe the news of Voldemort's resurrection.
So, the chat between Dumbledore and him couldn't have been very pleasant.
"They're in the principal's office, are you going to go straight to it?" Kyle asked, "Or do you have to wait a while, we can go to the break room to get a bite to eat first, I'm a little hungry." ”
"No, there's no need for that." Chris stared in the direction of the corner, where a jumble of footsteps could be faintly heard.
"Proof, Dumbledore, you can't fool me with a memory that I don't know if it's true or not!"
Fudge's somewhat angry voice came, "Or are you willing to take all the nonsense of those two children as it is?" No kidding. ”
Then came Dumbledore's voice.
"I've said it many times, Connelly, I was there at the time, and you can ask the Aurors to check my memory."
"Memories can be faked...... Especially a wizard like you. ”
"I can assure you, absolutely not." Dumbledore said, "Listen to me, Connelly, it's not too late, we must act now and send messengers to the giants...... lest they be brought to Voldemort's side again. ”
"Send a messenger to the giant!" Fudge screamed, "What kind of madness is this, people hate giants to the core, Dumbledore...... If the wizarding world learns that I'm in a relationship with giants...... As a minister, I don't want to do it anymore! ”
"Connelly, you're so obsessed with your official position that it's making you lose your proper judgment......"
"Ridiculous, you must be crazy, just because of the nonsense of the two children......"
The group got closer, and soon, Fudge noticed this side.
"Oh, Chris." He quickly changed the subject, "Did you see Kyle?" I have something to ask him? ”
"What?" Chris subconsciously turned his head, only to find that he didn't know when, he was left alone.
Kyle didn't want to touch Fudge at this time, as you can see from the conversation between the two just now, it's useless to say anything now.
He didn't even believe in Dumbledore's memory, and naturally he wouldn't change his mind because of a few words from himself, and he needed to think of another way to do this.
Until then, he didn't want to argue too much with Fudge, and he didn't want to make himself unhappy.
Although he didn't know the directional magic of the Department of Mysteries, it was good that it was late at night, and the effect of the illusion spell was good.
At least Fudge didn't find out where he was.
"No, he should be back at the castle." Chris also guessed Kyle's thoughts, and said quietly.
"Then let's go to the school hospital first." Dumbledore said, "Harry is there, and he can testify as well." ”
"Hah...... Testify? Fudge let out a shrill laugh, "Crazy, all crazy...... I'd like to see what you can come up with. ”
Dumbledore turned his head, his gaze paused for a moment on Kyle, who was wearing the illusion spell, and then said:
"Come along, Chris, if you're not in a hurry to get back."
"Okay." Chris nodded and followed.
The group quickly crossed the courtyard and disappeared around the corner of the stairs leading to the school hospital.
At the same time, Kyle also lifted the illusion spell and couldn't help but rub his forehead.
Dumbledore was in too much of a hurry, and the tougher his attitude was to deal with Fudge, the more counterproductive it would be.
Maybe it worked before, but now Fudge doesn't need to use Dumbledore's name to prop up the scene.
Without Crouch's threat, Fudge had just tasted the sweetness of monopoly power, and it would be unwise to fight him at this time.
But there is no way to do it, whether Fudge wants to believe it or not, this matter must be said, and it can only be said by Dumbledore.
If it were a different person, Fudge probably wouldn't even listen...... It doesn't matter who it is.
It's that Harry may be having to work harder, and he will be woken up not long after he falls asleep.
Kyle sighed and headed for the castle.
On his way back to the castle, he encounters an anxious Mrs. Weasley, as well as Bill and Charlie.
"Kyle, I'm glad you're okay." Mrs. Weasley ran over quickly, "Where's Harry, do you see him?" ”
"Harry at the school hospital." Kyle said that he noticed Mrs. Weasley's face turn white all of a sudden, and quickly explained, "He just drank the Dreamless Sleep Potion and fell asleep there." ”
"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Weasley said happily.
"Hermione said Harry was missing." Charlie walked over and whispered, "Then we went to Professor Dumbledore, who happened to meet Sirius, and he told us everything. ”
"So is that all true?" Bill's face was heavy, "Mystery man, really resurrected?" ”
"It's true...... "I saw it, and so did Harry and Professor Dumbledore." ”
"Oh......" Bill gasped.
Mrs. Weasley's grip on Kyle's hand trembled violently.
"I'd suggest you go back to Harry later." Kyle said, "The Headmaster and Fudge have just gone, how about we go to the Hufflepuff common room for a while, we can get something to eat first, I'm really hungry." ”
"No, we're going to help him." Mrs. Weasley said with a pale face, "I know what kind of person Fudge is, he won't believe this, he won't trust Harry, with me, Harry can at least be more relaxed."
"Bill, go tell your dad that Dumbledore should need our help."
"Okay, Mom."
Mrs. Weasley walked briskly towards the school hospital, and Bill and Charlie turned and went to the owl shed. In the blink of an eye, Kyle was the only one left here.
Okay...... There shouldn't be anyone now.
Kyle shrugged his shoulders and finally returned to the Hufflepuff common room.
The lounge is brightly lit and there are plenty of cakes and delicious pastries on the table.
As is tradition in Hufflepuff, Kyle's triwizard win is a natural celebration of victory.
It's just that he's back a little too late, there aren't many people left in the lounge, and most of them are already asleep by this time, so it's not a good time to celebrate.
However, everyone congratulates Kyle and agrees to make up for him tomorrow with a celebratory banquet, and Kyle agrees.
He walked over to the table, picked up a sandwich and took a big bite.
"What's going on, why did you come back so late." Connor handed him a glass of lemonade.
"Big thing, big thing." Kyle took a few sips of the lemonade, and the sour taste sobered him up a lot.
"Isn't the Triwizard Tournament over? What else could be a big deal. Cedric asked, puzzled.
"I can't say a word or two." Kyle glanced at the few people in the lounge, "Come with me." ”
He led Connor and Cedric to a table in the far corner.
"You may not believe it, but I must say it...... Voldemort is resurrected. ”
"Bang!"
The butterbeer in Cedric's hand falls to the ground.
"Ha, that's not a good joke." He laughed dryly twice, and used his wand to clean the butterbeer from the floor.
"The mystery man is dead, and everyone knows about it."
"I also wish it was just a joke, but it's not." Kyle takes his last sip of lemonade. "I guess it won't be long before Professor Dumbledore tells you the news."
Cedric's wand also fell off.
And Connor, who was almost crumpling the sandwich into mashed potatoes.
"It's not that I don't believe you, Kyle...... But how is this possible. Cedric stumbled, "Harry Potter...... Savior who kills the mysterious man...... He's in Gryffindor......"
"So I'm talking about, resurrection." Kyle glanced out the window, "You don't need to believe it now, just be prepared." ”
