Hogwarts card wizard

Chapter 280 "Wise" Minister Fudge

Kevin walked behind Professor McGonagall, and soon he recognized that this was the direction to the principal's office.

"Professor, did you find anything?" Kevin asked, unable to suppress his curiosity.

Professor McGonagall said: "The specific situation is still unclear. People from the Ministry of Magic have transported Mr. Crouch's body back."

"Then why did Professor Dumbledore want to see me?" Kevin asked "cautiously".

"Hehe!" Professor McGonagall smiled and said, "Don't be so cautious, Eli! I will answer you if I know it, but I don't know the answer to your question. Fortunately, you can ask him yourself, right? ?”

Coming to the statue in the principal's office, Professor McGonagall spoke the password.

"lemon grass!"

The statue in front of the entrance of the principal's office is changed almost every year. Last year it was a giant lion-like beast, and this year it was replaced by a statue of an eagle surrounded by wings.

Kevin stood between the wings of the statue, and as Professor McGonagall read the command, the statue rose slowly.

Kevin nodded in satisfaction, Hogwarts finally had an "automatic" device.

Although magic can bring many conveniences that technology cannot temporarily achieve, some things in Hogwarts are still very strenuous, including going upstairs. Some of the stairs in Hogwarts are outrageously numerous. , especially Muggle students are quite critical of this.

Harry once said that if the school's stairs were all "automatic elevators", then the number of times he was late would definitely be greatly reduced.

When Kevin came to the door and was about to knock on the door, a fierce quarrel inside caused his raised hand to stop in mid-air.

"One person has died, Fudge! And he is still a high-ranking member of the Ministry of Magic. The most terrifying thing is that he will not be the last. We must take measures!"

It was Dumbledore's voice.

He lost the calmness and calmness of the past, and his tone appeared extremely fierce.

Then Fudge's voice came: "I can't act rashly! Albus, I hope you know that the wizarding world needs a strong leadership team now!"

"Then don't let them down!" Dumbledore almost roared out.

Fudge immediately said excitedly: "The Triwizard Tournament will never be cancelled, I can't be regarded as a coward!"

The two people in the room can be said to be important figures in the wizarding world, but now they are arguing without grace.

And through these simple words, Kevin also understood the reason for their quarrel.

Dumbledore called for the cancellation of the Triwizard Tournament because of the murder of Barty Crouch.

In Kevin's opinion, this is a very smart move!

From the information he possessed, it is not difficult to guess that Voldemort's black hand should have been infiltrated into the school long ago, and now that Barty Crouch is dead, it is very likely that it is the "masterpiece" of this black hand behind the scenes.

In anyone's opinion, Dumbledore's proposal is the best method, whether it is for the safety of Hogwarts students or the stability of the wizarding world.

But Fudge, the leader of the wizarding world, strongly opposed the proposal.

Kevin was not surprised by this at all, even "reasonably".

Cornelius Fudge advocates peace and stability in the wizarding world, and even if this stability is false, he must uphold it.

No one wants the period they lead to be one of history's most tumultuous.

Cornelius Fudge was no exception. Perhaps people praised him so much that Fudge himself felt that he was a wise leader, and because of this "wiseness" his leadership period did not allow and should not have turmoil.

But the fact is that the news about the return of the Dark Lord has spread like wildfire. Perhaps not many people believe it, but in Fudge's view, these rumors are enough to affect the peace and stability of the wizarding world.

So he chose an excellent method-to divert the public's attention.

The specific method is a grand event, that is, the Quidditch World Cup!

For this reason, the planning of this event went far beyond the advances of the Ministry of Magic, so that they had to "borrow money" from Kevin.

But this Fudge's favorite work had completely opposite effect because of that terrorist attack.

People are not blind!

The Dark Mark on the arena is clearly visible, and the shock and impact it brings is enormous.

The result was a growing belief in the Dark Lord's return, which led to Fudge's second move.

So the Triwizard Tournament, which had been suspended for centuries, reappeared in people's sight.

In order to expand the influence of the Ministry of Magic, there are frequent moves, and even the Ministry of Magic itself has opened a gambling game for people to place bets on.

And the Triwizard Tournament has indeed successfully attracted people's attention, coupled with the hype of the Ministry of Magic, it has almost reached the point where everyone knows it.

But now Dumbledore proposed to cancel the Triwizard Tournament. Even if a senior official of the Ministry of Magic was killed, in Fudge's view, this method is still a terrible idea.

"Fudge! A truly wise leader doesn't care what others think." Dumbledore said.

This sentence contains too many emotions, disappointment, helplessness and ridiculousness.

This is nonsense, nonsense that will have the opposite effect.It is similar to the phrase "What do you want me to do?" between lovers.

Smart people shouldn't talk nonsense.

But when a smart person starts talking nonsense, it means that he has nothing to do.

Dumbledore is a wise man, and that's how he feels right now.

Kevin couldn't help sneering, his smile was full of disdain.

An ostrich hiding its head in a bush to hide from its enemies seems to anyone a foolish way to do it.

But the fact is that many people use this method, and many of them are so-called successful people.

Just then another voice interrupted the quarrel between the two.

"Let me interrupt, gentlemen! It appears that your conversation has lost its privacy."

Moody's voice.

Kevin was taken aback for a moment, of course he knew what Moody meant.

Expose yourself.

But before Kevin could make a move, the door of the office opened, and Moody looked at him outside the door with his wand in his hand.

Although Fudge is not a qualified leader, he is an extremely good politician.

After seeing Kevin, he immediately put on a kind smile, looking so natural and harmonious as if the previous quarrel never happened at all.

"Hehe! Good evening, Kevin! It's a pleasure to meet you again." Fudge said with a smile.

Dumbledore also stood up and looked at Kevin with a smile.

The expressions of the two made Kevin feel that what happened just now was not a quarrel, but a reminiscence conversation between two old friends.

In Kevin's opinion, the appearance of Dumbledore and Fudge is really embarrassing now, but it also confirms the old saying: As long as I don't feel embarrassed, it is someone else who is embarrassed.

Now Kevin is "someone else".

"Eh! I think I should come back later, Professor."

Dumbledore immediately said: "Oh! No need, Kevin! The minister and I have finished talking, please wait here for a while, I will be here soon."

Then they walked outside together with Fudge.

"Oh! By the way! Kevin, you can have any licorice candies while you wait for me, but I have to warn you that they are a bit rushed."
