The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

outside the maze.

All the judges, including Dumbledore and Fudge, looked solemn.

Karkaroff was so nervous that he started to tremble.

Nearly an hour has passed since Fleur entered the maze as the last warrior.

But starting from 10 minutes ago, warriors have been being carried out by Hogwarts professors or Aurors.

Krum bore the brunt.

Then came Cedric and Fleur.

Later, even Harry was carried out by Professor McGonagall.

Their lives were not in danger, but according to their confessions, without exception, they were all attacked by unknown persons!

As of now, only John and Michelle are still in the maze!

There was a lot of noise in the stands.

Many Slytherin and Hufflepuff students firmly believe that it was John who took Michelle to attack other warriors.

The purpose is to eliminate competitors and easily win the championship.

This caused the two people from the academy to quarrel and almost start fighting.

However, more people still believe that John and Michelle were also attacked.

Concern for them was written all over his face.

"Dumbledore, you don't have to worry too much." Fudge turned sideways and said with a smile, "The Aurors on the front line sent news that John and Michelle have been found and are being taken here."

Dumbledore didn't respond, still staring at the entrance of the maze.

Fudge, who was ignored, had a flash of displeasure in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but at this moment, several Aurors flew out of the maze.

They used magic to control two stretchers with unconscious John and Michelle on them.

Snape was standing beside the two of them, his face extremely gloomy, but he was pouring various healing potions into their mouths very quickly.

At the end of the team, several Aurors were still escorting a prisoner who was struggling like a madman.

Dumbledore suddenly stood up and hurried forward to meet him.

The other referees quickly followed suit.

"Are John and Michelle injured?" Dumbledore asked repeatedly, "What is going on?"

Snape glanced at Michelle's broken arm, gritted his teeth and said in an extremely angry tone:

"They are seriously injured! Dumbledore! Find Pomfrey quickly..."

As soon as Snape finished speaking, Madam Pomfrey, who had been waiting not far away, rushed over and took John and Michelle directly to the campus hospital.

Snape and McGonagall also hurriedly followed.

On the other hand, the Aurors completely ignored Dumbledore's inquiries.

It wasn't until Fudge arrived that they all saluted in unison:

"Report to the minister! The rescue mission has been completed, and one of the attackers has been arrested!"

"Nice job!" Fudge said with a blush on his face, "Tell me exactly what happened!"

"We followed the guidance given by the rescue signal and arrived at the target location. At that time, Michelle Shafiq had broken his arm and was seriously injured and fell into a coma. At the same time, John Shafiq entered a state of control and was fighting with the attacker.

After we arrived at the scene, we controlled John Shafiq immediately and ruled out the uncontrollability of the incident.After a fight, the attackers were subdued.

During the battle, the prisoners resisted extremely fiercely.

Three of our Aurors were injured and one died on the spot! "

At this point, the Auror paused.

He lowered his head with a sad look on his face, as if in silence.

Fudge also sighed cooperatively and said:

"He is our hero! I will give his family enough pension, and his children will also have priority to join the Ministry of Magic and the Auror Force in the future."

The Auror glanced at Fudge gratefully and continued:

"After we subdued the attacker, we also conducted an identity check on him. After investigation, the person's information was highly consistent with a recently published wanted notice, and he could be confirmed to be a former member of the Auror Force, codenamed 'Townley', and his real name Michael Townley!”

"what?!"

Fudge yelled and looked at Michael who was being held behind him with a horrified look on his face.

Dumbledore slowly came to Michael, and with a slight lift of his finger, Michael's sealed mouth was released.

"Why are you doing this?"

Dumbledore asked seriously.

However, Michael ignored Dumbledore, but stared at Fudge with a pair of bloodshot eyes and roared:

"Fudge! It's you! It's you who allowed the goblin to enter the maze and attack Michelle! You old dog who was bribed by the goblin! You have to die..."

Dumbledore frowned and looked at Fudge silently.

Fudge looked at the Auror with a puzzled expression and said:

"He said there are goblins involved in this?"

"Absolutely impossible, Mr. Minister!" the Auror said solemnly, "We also conducted a detailed survey of the entire scene together with Professor Snape of Hogwarts afterwards. But we did not find any traces of goblin activity. !”

"Then the cunning dark wizard is lying!"

Fudge looked at Michael, his expression getting increasingly ugly.

Because Michael was constantly spitting fragrance at him, and the words he used were extremely dirty, and he greeted almost all his relatives.

Fudge gritted his teeth and said:

"Bring him back to the Ministry of Magic! Interrogate him carefully. I want to find out his entire purpose and the person behind him!"

The Aurors immediately took Michael away after hearing this.

Dumbledore stopped in front of them and said:

"Connelly, you are too hasty in doing this! You must give him a brief interrogation at Hogwarts first!"

"Dumbledore, I have always given you privileges in the past. No matter what the matter is, I always take your opinion into account." Fudge looked like he was pissed off by Michael and said, "Forget about other things! But This time, I will never agree! He must be escorted to the Ministry of Magic immediately!"

Dumbledore shook his head and said:

"Don't let anger and panic take over your mind. Fudge, you can't be the Minister of Magic like this."

Fudge seemed to have been hit hard and became even angrier.

The Auror next to him quietly put his hand into his pocket.

"Don't be stupid, Deluxe," Dumbledore said kindly, "I'm sure you are an excellent Auror - I remember that your NEWTs exam results seemed to have reached 'Excellent', but that doesn't mean you used violence against me. The confidence.”

The Auror named Delis had a stiff expression.

Fudge had a rare moment of strength.

He stood in front of Delis and said:

"Dumbledore, you have to understand one thing. I am the Minister of Magic, and what I am doing now is completely in compliance with the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, reasonable and legal!

It's you, Dumbledore.

You have been personally interfering with my resolutions.

Your behavior is against the rules of the Wizengamot Council.

I respect you, Dumbledore, but this time, I will never give in. "

Dumbledore stared at Fudge for a while and then said:

"Fudge, are you sure you want to do this?"

Fudge didn't answer, but his eyes were extremely determined.

Dumbledore nodded and said:

"Well, take 'Tangley' away. But I remind you, I will keep an eye on this matter."

"Thank you for your cooperation, Dumbledore."

Fudge spoke, a bright smile blooming on his face again.

He waved his hand and led a group of Aurors and Michael to ride the flying carriage directly outside the school.

The carriage successfully left Hogwarts, and then [Apparated] returned to the Ministry of Magic.

"You take the person to the holding room first."

Fudge smiled and gave the instructions to the Aurors.

After all the Aurors had gone away, he took the magic elevator and headed to his office.

"Bam—"

The office door slammed shut.

Fudge didn't turn on the light.

In the darkness, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

Instead, there was deep gloom!
