To be honest, this room is not very big, there is only a set of tables and chairs inside, and a ceiling-to-ceiling bookcase.

But compared to most of the Ministry's offices that are as cramped as broomrooms and crammed with two or three people, this is already a top-of-the-line match.

Mr. Weasley's Division for the Prohibition of the Abuse of Muggle Items, for example, had been there once before, and the office the size of the broomroom was filled with two desks. The contents of the cabinet were overflowing, and the extra documents had to be placed everywhere they could see, and it was difficult to find even a place to put their feet.

Kyle couldn't figure out why the people at the Ministry of Magic didn't use the Traceless Stretching Charm to make their offices more spacious.

He also asked Mr. Weasley, but received no answer, Mr. Weasley just said that it was fine now, and that he was used to it, and there was no need to do anything superfluous.

Arriving in the office, Fudge took off his hat and asked, "What do you think of this place?" ”

"Very good." Kyle said, "I'm officially on duty, do you have any tasks for the minister?" ”

"Not a task." Fudge fiddled with his hat, "You're only in the sixth grade now, and you still have to focus on your studies." ”

Kyle naturally didn't believe this kind of thing, Fudge couldn't let Umbridge go for no reason, obviously he had something to say.

And he still has one hundred and fifty Galleons a month, and this salary can't be taken for nothing, Fudge is not so generous.

This can also be seen from the fact that Cedric only has a pitiful seven Galleons.

So Kyle didn't speak, just quietly waited for Fudge's next words.

Sure enough, a moment later, Fudge asked seemingly casually, "I heard Albus say that you saved Harry Potter in the last event of the Triwizard Tournament?" ”

"That's right." Kyle didn't hide it either, saying, "A Death Eater infiltrated the castle using a polyjuice potion and took the opportunity to kidnap Harry. ”

"How did you find out?" Fudge asked, "I remember you were working on your third project." ”

"Because the Triwizard Cup ......," Kyle said, "it was replaced with a portkey, and when I got it, it was automatically teleported to where Harry was." ”

"Oh, I remember." "I remember you got the trophy and it disappeared all of a sudden, and to be honest, I always thought it was something else. ”

"No, I was sent to the top of a mountain......"

"So, you also saw the mystery man come back to life?" Fudge's eyes flashed, staring at Kyle without blinking.

"I didn't see the resurrection of the mystery man." Kyle's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly, "But there are Death Eaters planning something there, and Dumbledore quickly rushed over and sent Harry and me back to Hogwarts."

"As for what happened after that, only Dumbledore knows."

Fudge didn't speak, just looked at Kyle, fiddling with his hat.

He didn't think Kyle was lying, after all, it was all right...... Kyle suddenly disappears after receiving the trophy, and then Dumbledore disappears.

And most importantly, if Kyle also saw the Mysterio, then when Dumbledore hyped the resurrection of the Mysterio, he would not have had a reason to side with the Ministry of Magic.

Fudge's expression was a little complicated, with a hint of disappointment.

A month ago, the last thing he wanted to hear was the news of the resurrection of the mysterious man, but now, he wanted it to be true.

But Fudge himself didn't know the bottom of his heart, he wasn't sure if the mysterious man was really resurrected, and the reason why he released that report was because Dumbledore forced him to have no choice.

Ten Death Eaters escaped at the same time, and if this was caught, Dumbledore would have had no trouble removing him from his ministerial position.

But even if he keeps his position now, he is not happy. Since the prison break, a large number of letters have been sent to the minister's office every day, including yelling letters to remove him from power.

And these howl letters were all sent to Dumbledore before.

Everyone seems to think that this is a ruse he came up with...... In order to be able to stay in the position of Minister of Magic all the time.

And as time went on, the voices became more and more common, even within the Ministry of Magic.

There are no solutions to this problem, and the simplest of them is to appear in public once.

As long as the mysterious person shows up, then there is no need to say much.

But it wasn't something Fudge could handle, and he didn't subconsciously want to see it.

So the only thing he can do now is to find more people, especially those who are famous, to prove it.

When he went to Hogwarts before, he also mentioned this to Dumbledore, but after such a long time, there was no progress at all.

Obviously, Dumbledore didn't want to help.

"Kyle......" Fudge suddenly asked, "Do you believe that the mystery man has made a comeback?" ”

"Of course." Kyle said, "After all, the newspapers say that he saved ten Death Eaters, and if it's not a mystery man, who would be idle to save those people?" ”

"But there are still many people who don't believe it." "This mentality is dangerous," Fudge said in a deep voice, "and the reason why I am announcing it to everyone at the risk of being ousted is to prepare everyone for the war that is about to begin."

"But now a lot of people insist that I'm doing it for my own selfish interests, and if it goes on like this, our efforts will be in vain."

"That's right." Kyle nodded approvingly and said, "What does the minister mean ......"

"I think you seem to have a good relationship with Mr. Scamander, don't you?" "As a well-known magical beast expert, if he was willing to help, he might be able to change a lot of people's minds." ”

"I see, I'll try to convince Newt." Kyle said.

"That couldn't be better." Fudge smiled, "Okay, you can familiarize yourself with this place first, I still have some things to deal with." ”

He put on his hat and was ready to leave.

"Wait a minute, Minister." Kyle stopped him and said, "I have an immature idea that might make a difference. ”

"Oh? What an idea. Fudge paused and asked.

Kyle glanced at the closed door and whispered:

"I think some people don't believe us because it's too calm out there right now."

"Calm?"

"That's right." Kyle continued, "There's been no news since the Death Eaters escaped from prison, it's like they're all in hiding, which doesn't fit what they did more than a decade ago, and it's normal for people not to believe it.

"After all, in most people's minds, a Death Eater with a mysterious person as a backer is extremely arrogant."

"But they really went into hiding." Fudge sighed, "Neither the Striker nor the Aurors have found any trace of the Death Eaters. ”

"But what if we find out...... Kyle's tone rose slightly, "the Ministry of Magic has to deal with so many emergencies every day, is it possible that the culprit of one of them is Antonin Dolokhov." ”

Fudge looked up, instantly understanding what Kyle meant.

It doesn't matter if the Death Eaters don't come out or not, the Ministry of Magic has to deal with so many illegal things and wizards every day, they can just pick one of the bad ones and directly put the pot on each other's heads.

As for what counts as bad...... Fudge remembered hearing Weasley and Perkins discussing this morning that someone had cast a Transformation Charm in their garden in order to trick Muggles.

Isn't this a proper assault on Muggle streets?

Fudge was a little moved, but now there were two questions...... Then he frowned and said, "But what if we can't catch someone." ”

"Isn't that normal? Death Eaters weren't easy to catch. Kyle said, "Just making sure they did it was enough to make a lot of people wary." ”

Fudge's eyes lit up, and he took off his hat again, pacing in place, and asked, "Then do you think that if you want to investigate the Death Eaters, is it the right striker or the Aur......ors?"

"Neither."

Kyle said, "Dealing with the cunning Death Eaters requires a thoughtful, fearless and loyal person to the Ministry, and that person must have a high enough position, such as Director, or Deputy Minister...... Such findings are more convincing. ”

Fudge repeated Kyle's words, mentally searching for the right person.

It doesn't matter if you're thoughtful or anything, only loyalty......

As a result, the directors were all ruled out, and Fudge knew very well that none of them could help him to do such a deceitful thing.

And even if they wanted to, Fudge himself was not at ease.

But who else, Kyle, who had made this suggestion, was the most suitable person, but he still needed to take classes and didn't have time.

Suddenly, Fudge thought of someone, someone who perfectly ticked all the boxes.

"What do you think of Dolores?"

"Professor Umbridge?" Kyle pondered for a moment, "I think she's a bit overkill at Hogwarts, and the Death Eaters front line is where she can really show her talents." ”

"The anti-Death Eater front?" Fudge pondered Kyle's words, feeling nothing but excitement.

"Ah, I knew that getting you into the Ministry of Magic was the best decision I've ever made this year." Fudge laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to come up with a way to debunk the Death Eaters' machinations on the first day." ”

"I'm just offering a trivial suggestion, Minister." Kyle shook his head and said, "The person doing this is the real hero against the Death Eaters." ”

"You're right." The grimace on Fudge's face vanished and he left the office with a smile.

……

To be honest, the Hogwarts students came to the Ministry of Magic this time just to go through the motions and get acquainted with the environment by the way, and they didn't really want them to accomplish any work.

But even so, by the time they got off work in the evening, everyone had a look of unfinished business on their faces.

Unlike at school, everything in the Ministry of Magic made them feel so new that even if they didn't do anything, they could brag about it when they returned.

Only Cedric, Mr. Diggory, really trusted his son, and in order to prove his ability to others, Cedric was not idle for a day.

"I wrote five reports and used almost a roll of parchment."

In the afternoon, he rubbed his somewhat sore wrist and muttered, "It's the first time I've known that the Department of Magical Beasts Control has so many boring things, adding wings to pythons and selling Cornwall elves as leprechauns...... Are those people so boring? ”

"That's what they really do." Kyle said, "You don't think there's a dangerous creature running out on the street every day. ”

"Of course I do." Cedric grabbed his hair.

"What about Mr. Diggory." Kyle asked, "Didn't he help you?" ”

Cedric's face changed, and he whispered, "My dad hasn't been in the office all day. ”

"Okay, I see." Kyle froze.

Needless to say, Mr. Diggory must have put all his work on Cedric to make time to show off his son.

However, Cedric is also really good, and it is rare for someone to take over all the work smoothly on the first job, which is simple but also quite tedious to deal with.

The two of them stopped by the elevator and prepared to meet in the hall, where they would return to Hogwarts through the fireplace.

Soon, the elevator clicked and they walked inside.

There was another person in the elevator, and he was an acquaintance.

"Long time no see, Percy." Kyle said hello.

Seriously, he really hadn't seen Percy in a long time, and Fred had cut off contact with the Weasleys after they moved to Twelve Grimmauld Place.

At Christmas this year, the sweater given by Mrs. Weasley was returned.

Because of this, Fred and George were very angry, and said that the next time they saw Percy, they must teach him a good lesson.

Kyle also resents Percy's approach, but this is a Weasley family business after all, and he doesn't want to meddle too much, and the greeting is only out of politeness, after which Kyle is not ready to talk to him again.

Cedric too, he didn't even need to say hello to Percy.

There was an eerie silence in the elevator.

Percy stood behind, looking at the two of them with a confused face.

It wasn't until the elevator came to the foyer and Kyle and Cedric walked out one after the other that he suddenly said, "Please wait a minute......"

The two stopped and looked back at him.

"Congratulations, Kyle." Percy pulled out an unnatural smile and a flash of envy in her eyes, "I've heard that you're now a senior assistant minister, which is awesome, isn't it...... I mean, I'm also an assistant minister, and it's been a pleasure to work with you. ”

"Thank you." Kyle said casually, "But I can only come to the Ministry of Magic once a week, and I probably won't be able to work with you." ”

Percy was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Kyle to give him no face at all, as if he was facing a stranger.

Of course, he also thought of such a situation...... I thought about it when I returned Mrs. Weasley's Christmas sweater.

But what he didn't expect was that Kyle would become a senior assistant minister to the Ministry of Magic in one step, which was almost his immediate boss.

Percy looked at Cedric again.

"I'm sorry, but I'm from the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control." Cedric politely gagged his words.

"If it's all right......" Kyle glanced at Professor McGonagall across from him, "we're going back to Hogwarts." ”

"Wait......" Percy said quickly, "I know, I may have done something wrong before, Mom is right, I should trust Dumbledore, you can help me ...... with them"

"I'm sorry, we probably can't help with that." Kyle interrupted him, "If you really want to get their forgiveness, why don't you say it yourself."

"Mr. Weasley works on the second floor, and there's only one floor between you, so you can find him at any time."

"I, I don't know what to say." Percy's face flushed, "They must be furious that I've done so many excesses before. ”

"There's no doubt about that." Kyle said, "Fred and George have sworn to beat you up, and Charlie, who is said to be coming to the Ministry of Magic at Christmas to teach you a lesson if Ginny and Mrs. Weasley hadn't stopped him." ”

"That's as it should be." Percy said, "I wish they did." ”

At this time, the other elevators also came down, and a large group of people came out of it, and the neighborhood immediately became much more crowded.

At the same time, Professor McGonagall on the other side waved her hand, as if to signal them to hurry over.

"Alright, Percy, we can't help you with this, you have to do it yourself."

Kyle said, "If you really want to apologize, go to Mr. Weasley, he's not going to turn you away anyway." ”

Kyle doesn't say anything more to Percy, and goes with Cedric to the place where everyone is gathered.

Once everyone had arrived, Professor McGonagall led them back to Hogwarts.
