Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 74 The Dilemma of the Ministry of Magic
While Kyle was leisurely consuming the corpses in the lake, the magic world had become jittery.

Azkaban is not without prisoner riots.

After all, the entire peninsula of England is locked there, the craziest and most evil dark wizard.

The Aurors and the strikers were used to the prisoners making noises from time to time.

They even bet on this to see who can guess the time of the next disturbance.

But this time is different.

This riot originated from the Death Eaters in the deepest part of Azkaban.

They are Voldemort's most loyal followers.

Before Voldemort disappeared, these guys were all his craziest minions.

Cruel, evil, crazy, all similar negative words you can think of can be attached to these Death Eaters.

Their loyalty to Voldemort is unquestionable.

Those sloppy, or cunning guys have already used their means to escape the trial.

Only the most reckless, honest, or brainless guys will be here for 11 years.

That's why Fudge was so flustered when he heard that these crazy guys all shouted that the master was back.

Dumbledore might use Voldemort as a cover to cover up his flaws;
The nobles might use Voldemort as a cover to intimidate their enemies;
Only these prisoners who have no reason to speak of will not.

That is their belief and their soul destination.

For these prisoners, if there is a God, it must be Voldemort!

No one believed they would use Voldemort as an excuse to cause trouble.

Since they shouted like this, it must mean that Voldemort is back.

During this period of time, the Ministry of Magic has been extremely sad.

Not only do they have to face the pressure of Voldemort's comeback, but they also have to deal with the crusade of public opinion.

Before they publicly mocked Dumbledore in the newspaper as being stupid.

How happy I was at that time, how embarrassed I am now.

Although Fudge got the news, he rushed to Hogwarts immediately and learned that Voldemort hadn't been resurrected.

But this didn't ease Fudge's heart.

Because Voldemort's most loyal subordinate, Sirius Black, escaped from prison!
Every time I think about it, it makes Fudge sleepless.

Sirius was undoubtedly one of the most cunning, calm, and fearsome of the Death Eaters.

Think about the great achievements of Sirius - lurking beside Dumbledore for countless years, and being regarded by him as his most trusted subordinate.

This is enough to show his cunning.

Now, such a powerful and cunning guy has returned to Voldemort's side, how can Fudge feel at ease.

It is difficult to revive a person, but for powerful nobles, it does not seem to be that difficult.

And those powerful nobles are almost all potential Death Eaters!
For many of them, Fudge knew exactly what methods they used to escape the trial.

Because Fudge was one of those people who made a fortune through liquidation after the war!

Back then, he was just a young man, and he didn't have much to gain from the hands of the nobles.

But back then, he didn't need to face the pressure of the Dark Lord's comeback.

If Fudge knew that one day, he would sit in the position of minister and face the return of the Dark Lord,

Then he will definitely expose all those guys who have received black money from nobles!

It's a pity that there is no if, and now Fudge has to bear all the sins he committed back then with tears in his eyes.

Since Sirius escaped from prison, Fudge hadn't been home once, and even slept in the office at night.

It certainly wasn't because of Fudge's sleepless nights at work.

It's because of the Ministry of Magic, which is guarded by Aurors 24 hours a day!

These days, there are constant meetings and small meetings of the Ministry of Magic, and there are also constant actions.

Almost immediately, Fudge agreed to Director Auror's proposal on enrollment expansion!

Then he met with the Prime Minister of the Muggle world and informed him that extremely dangerous criminals were at large.

Whether it is the Muggle world or the wizarding world, Sirius' wanted notices are plastered all over the streets and alleys.

It's a pity that so many days have passed, and no useful clue has been received.

This had to make Fudge suspect that the Dark Lord and Sirius had already hid in a noble manor.

Aurors guard the Muggle Prime Minister, Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, the Ministry of Magic, and even Hogwarts.

It seems that all wizard gathering points are asking for more Aurors.

This made the Ministry of Magic's staff more and more stretched.

So when one of his subordinates suggested that Dementors be used instead of Aurors, Fudge was moved almost immediately.

Unfortunately, this suggestion was immediately sentenced to death by Scrimgeour.

And scolded the staff who made this suggestion a bloody sprinkler.

The Auror director directly told Fudge to drop the idea.

Because giants, werewolves, dementors and other evil creatures once served under the Dark Lord!

Even Scrimgeour told Fudge that if he didn't want another accident in Azkaban, he also needed to send more people there.

At the very least, it is necessary to ensure that the information can be transmitted to the Ministry of Magic as soon as the accident occurs.

Scrimgeour's words made Fudge even more helpless.

If you want to add more people to Azkaban, then the number of Aurors and strikers will be even more insufficient.

"Is... really going to do that, Dumbledore, is he waiting for me to beg him?"

A certain idea appeared in Fudge's mind several times.

The predicament in front of him made Fudge think of Dumbledore.

Perhaps, only Dumbledore could help him now.

But this thought made Fudge full of unwillingness.

It doesn't matter to admit your mistakes to Dumbledore. After all, before, he just failed to achieve the goal of suppressing Dumbledore, and Fudge didn't lose anything.

However, having been afraid of Dumbledore for so long, now it is not what Fudge wants to see if he takes the initiative to propose a proposal that will lead to a surge in Dumbledore's power.

The Dark Lord is certainly terrifying.

But in Fudge's eyes, Dumbledore, who may replace him at any time, is also his confidant's serious trouble!
