Chapter 619: The Minister Who Doesn't Change His Term
In the face of Kyle's words, Fudge seemed a little absent-minded and just casually responded, "yes, I can see it." ”
He looked left and right.
Kyle deliberately chose a corner location, not by the window, and there was a large decorative plant next to it, so that he couldn't see the situation from the outside, and even if he entered the house, it would be blocked by most of the plants, which made Fudge nod with some satisfaction.
The two of them rambled on and on some non-nutritious topics, and it wasn't until Miss Rosmerta brought over what they had ordered that the smile on Fudge's face began to retract.
When Ms. Rosmerta returned to the bar, he suddenly said, "I heard Dolores say, you want to find me?" ”
Finally got to the point.
Kyle puts down the pumpkin soda in his hand.
"Yes, Minister, I think this should be told to you."
"Oh? What is it? Fudge looked curious, as if their meeting was really just a chance encounter.
"It's about Professor Dumbledore, a meeting he once held in his personal capacity."
Fudge subconsciously sat up straight, but his face was still light.
"I've heard of it." He said, "Albus is well-known in the wizarding world and is the headmaster of Hogwarts, so it's normal to invite a few old friends together. ”
"That's true." Kyle nodded, "But what they're talking about isn't what friends usually talk about. ”
"Oh? What is that? Fudge pretended to be casual and asked, "It's okay, just say, drinking at Three Broomsticks always has to talk about something, doesn't it?"
"And I'm sure I'll keep it a secret for you, and I won't tell Albus."
Kyle has no doubts about Fudge's assurances.
"They were talking about the resurrection of the mysterious man."
In an instant, the warmth and smile on Fudge's face vanished instantly, and his face turned red because of anger, and he looked like an angry hippopotamus.
Umbridge, who was next to him, also stood up angrily, as if he would give Kyle a Diamond Curse in the next second.
"Ridiculous, ridiculous madness!" "The Ministry of Magic has said many times that that man can't and won't come back to life, I've heard enough of this madness, I thought I could hear something different. ”
"Dolores, is this the surprise you were talking about?" He gave Umbridge a nonchalant look, then looked at Kyle again.
"I don't think I should have brought three broomsticks to drink anything today, I'll have to go back to the Ministry of Magic, and one last thing, that man won't be back."
"But some people think that he can come back."
Kyle ignored Umbridge's murderous gaze and said calmly, "This news can bring them more than enough." ”
Fudge froze as he stood up, looking at Kyle with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Because everyone knows that the only one who can deal with the mysterious man is Dumbledore. This allowed him to establish enough prestige in the shortest possible time. ”
Fudge's eyes flashed, and he sat back down quietly.
"Looks like we're doing the right thing." "Expose his lies in the Daily Prophet so that more people are not deceived by him." ”
"That's because the minister has long exposed his lies." Umbridge's voice was even louder, with an undisguised flattery, which made Kyle uncomfortable for a while, but Fudge seemed to be very helpful.
"So Kyle, good boy, would you like to come out and testify?" Fudge regained his previous pleasant appearance, as if it wasn't him who had been angry just now.
"I'd love to, Minister."
After hearing Kyle's answer, Fudge seemed even happier.
He had always cared that Dumbledore had Harry Potter as a supporter, and although he didn't want to admit it, there were times when the name of the Savior was still very influential.
That's why he's always been kind to Harry......
But now it's different, Kyle is on the side of the Ministry of Magic.
As the youngest member of the Merlin Jazz Regiment and the winner of the Triwizard Tournament, Kyle has long been as well-known as the famous savior Harry Potter.
Add to that the operation of the Ministry of Magic, and Kyle's reputation could easily surpass that of Harry Potter.
He remembers one person who would be a good fit for the job...... That Rita Skeeter.
Fudge picked up the redcurrant rum on the table and drank half a glass in one gulp, he could already imagine the scene of Dumbledore's image collapsing and being blamed by everyone.
This is a great thing for him.
"The Ministry of Magic will remember your work."
Although excited, Fudge didn't forget to paint a pie for Kyle, "And I've always been very optimistic about you, as Chris can attest."
I've mentioned to him many times that you should come to work at the Ministry of Magic, and think you're going to break his record and become the youngest director ever. ”
Kyle quickly notices Fudge's last sentence.
But isn't Chris the deputy director now? Kyle doesn't think Fudge could be mistaken...... Perhaps, he is not just painting cakes.
"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Minister." Kyle said with some excitement.
Fudge smiled, "I trust my own vision, and I can't be mistaken." ”
"But I'm curious what that meeting was all about...... I mean, do they have any other plans. ”
"Absolutely." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "The most discussed thing is to find a way to get more supporters. ”
Fudge's complexion changed slightly.
He subconsciously thought that a few days ago, someone said that Dumbledore had gone out of his way to find Amelia Bones, and Barty Crouch, who had now been placed in the Department of Magical Communications.
At that time, he wondered if Dumbledore was coming for his position as a minister, and now it seems that it should be eight or nine.
Because if you want to become the new Minister of Magic, you must have the support of the majority of the directors, and their votes are crucial.
Fudge panicked a little, as he wasn't sure how many people Dumbledore had met, and if they had defected.
However, on the surface, Fudge still pretended to be calm and said: "Every director has a smart mind that can recognize the situation, they will not believe the lie of the resurrection of the mysterious man, this plan is destined to fail." ”
"That's great." Kyle laughs and says, "If that's the case, then their plans for the rest of the week will be in vain." ”
"What's next?" Fudge wondered, "What is it?" ”
"Nothing, just Dumbledore's wishful thinking." Kyle shrugged his shoulders and said, "He said that he would do his best to spread the news of the resurrection of the mysterious man when he became minister. ”
"Why?" Fudge was a little confused.
Didn't Dumbledore want to exploit people's fear of mystery people to gain power? Why do you do it when you get what you want?
What's the good of that, isn't he afraid of being drowned in yelling letters?
"Because only then can he logically declare the wizarding world in a state of war." Kyle pretended to be casual and said:
"In wartime, there will be no general election of ministers, as long as you don't make too serious mistakes...... He'll be in that position forever.
"But it's impossible, right......"
Bang Dang!
Before Kyle could finish speaking, Fudge's hand shook violently, and the half glass of redcurrant rum he had just picked up fell directly to the ground with a crisp sound.
Ms. Rosmerta at the bar heard the commotion and turned her head curiously to take a look.
"Need help, Minister Fudge."
"It's okay, I can fix it." Fudge's voice sounded as agitated as he could.
He pulled out his wand, the tip of which kept shaking, indicating that he wasn't in the mood as calm as it seemed.
Fudge waved it casually, and the glass immediately returned to its place, and the rum on the floor disappeared.
"Kyle, I'm glad you said that." He took a few deep breaths, calmed his mind, and said, "You have contributed a lot to the stability of the wizarding world. ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Kyle said modestly.
"Good, good." Fudge looked a little absent-minded.
At this moment, a group of students walked in from outside.
"Oh, is it so late?" Fudge immediately stood up and said, "I would have liked to talk to you a little longer, talking to young people always makes me feel a lot younger...... But no, I have one more important thing to attend to.
"I'll send you, Minister." Umbridge said hurriedly.
Fudge nodded, didn't even say anything more to Kyle, and walked quickly in the direction of the door.
