Hogwarts Life Guide

Chapter 272: Crouch is a man of public opinion?

The reason for the frenzy outside was certainly not because the winner of the Triwizard Tournament had already won the cup. In fact, when Tangning won the cup, the audience didn't even know that the champion had emerged.

The real reason is: the escaped Death Eaters took advantage of the lack of security at the Ministry of Magic - most of the forces were transferred to Hogwarts by Fudge, and attacked the Ministry of Magic after the start of the Contest.

When the news reached Hogwarts, Fudge nearly fell out of his seat.

When Tangning showed up with the Goblet of Fire, Fudge and many people from the Ministry of Magic had disappeared. Someone came looking for Scrimgeour with a serious look on his face. The latter quickly left with the Aurors behind him. Tonks The cousin only had time to wave goodbye to Tang Ning.

Bagman, who was hosting the competition, originally had a sad look on his face, but when he saw Tangning appear, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.After observing this scene, Tang Ning seriously doubted whether he had bet a lot of money on himself to win.

Most of the audience who didn't know the truth cheered the birth of the champion. Bagman's skill level was still there, and he hosted the award ceremony passionately. The person presenting the award was Dumbledore. Originally, this job was done by Fudge.

"Well done!" Dumbledore praised when awarding the prize. Of course, the trophy was not the Goblet of Fire itself, but a replica of the trumpet.The trophy room at Hogwarts is getting a new addition.

Until he stepped off the podium, Tangning didn't know what happened during his game.

He was holding the trophy. Mr. and Mrs. Tonks were already waiting in the audience, and they hugged each other.

"In my heart, you are the best!" Aunt Anduo said in Tangning's ear.

"Haha, I always knew..." Tangning still couldn't express her feelings so directly.

Sirius also came over with Harry, "As expected of my nephew!" He smiled happily and gave Tangning a hug warmly.

Harry, who was next to Sirius, thought the hug was a celebration, hiding the bitterness of failure in his heart, and also gave Tangning a big hug.Harry's desire for the championship was no less than anyone else's. Deep down in his heart, he actually wanted to use the competition to prove that he was not a "grandstanding" person as Fudge said.

However, he was not a dark-hearted person and was not jealous of Tangning's achievements. His congratulations came from the bottom of his heart.

After chatting for a while, Tangning suddenly realized that someone was missing from his side. Looking back, he finally found the beautiful figure he was looking for.

The crowd searched for him thousands of times, but that person was in the dim light... Miss Granger had her hands folded behind her back, her left toe paddling on the ground, her head lowered.When Tangning walked towards him, she happened to look up.

Tangning held up the trophy in her hand and opened her arms with a gentle smile on her face: "Why don't you give me a celebratory hug?"

The next second, Tangning's nose was filled with the fragrance of hair.

Hermione changed to a scented shampoo - this was Tangning's first thought, but he quickly put it behind him and hugged the person in his arms.

But the girl in her arms didn't stay quiet for long. "They all looked over." Hermione lowered her voice and left Tangning's arms.

Tang Ning felt empty in her arms. Even the trophy no longer smelled good.

"Are you done celebrating?" Mrs. Tonks only teased the young girl in front of her a little. She was originally going to give them more time, but the two of them... still haven't learned the necessary skills for a couple to show off their affection in public.

She turned to the main business: "Something happened at the Ministry of Magic. I could have told you later, but..." Mrs. Tonks still raised her eyebrows meaningfully, observing the expressions of the two of them. I find it very interesting.

Clicking the button again, Mrs. Tonks really got down to business: "At the beginning of the game, Bella and the others broke into the Ministry of Magic, destroyed a lot of things, and injured many people... At first, the Ministry of Magic did not form effective resistance. Later I heard that Crouch organized people to repel them... They wreaked havoc in the Ministry of Magic, and before leaving, they even used a fire spell to set off a big fire!"

"Fudge rushed back, and he didn't know what the Ministry of Magic was like now..." Mrs. Tonks said with emotion.

……

The Ministry of Magic was indeed in chaos. Fudge hurried back to the Ministry of Magic. If he wanted to be held accountable, then he, the Minister of Magic who transferred most of the Ministry of Magic's defense forces, would definitely take the blame.

In fact, Fudge was frightened by the mess in front of him as soon as he arrived at the hall of the Ministry of Magic.At the same time, he also noticed the way people around him looked at him - distrustful, questioning...

Among them are officials and employees of the Ministry of Magic.

Fudge's heart was half cold, and he quickly thought about how to save himself... When he walked into the Ministry of Magic, he saw Crouch standing on a high place and saying something to everyone.

"Fudge, come here quickly, I'm just talking about you!"

For Crouch, who has always been cold-faced, this sentence is already considered a great enthusiasm.But Fudge didn't appreciate it at all, because he hadn't thought of a reason to shirk responsibility yet.

But everyone's eyes turned to him following Crouch's reminder. After secretly cursing the cunning Crouch a few times, Fudge had no choice but to stand next to Crouch and wait to deal with the other party's accusations.

"As I just mentioned, the purpose of the fugitives is very clear," Crouch looked at Fudge, "Minister Fudge..."

"Coming!" Fudge secretly said, feeling very vigilant.

"What the fugitives did was obviously to undermine your prestige... What does this mean? It means they are afraid of you and are afraid of the Ministry of Magic's pursuit of them!"

There was a question mark on Fudge's forehead. He wanted to refute Crouch and said that he did not pursue the fugitives fiercely, but reason prevailed. Although he didn't know why Crouch would speak for him, he accepted it calmly in front of everyone. Crouch's remarks.

With the endorsement of Crouch, who had just made great achievements, Fudge was relieved of a lot of pressure from the destruction of the Ministry of Magic. This also changed Fudge's impression of Crouch a lot, changing the past stereotype.

"Is Crouch really a public-minded person with no selfish motives?"

For several days after that, Fudge kept having this question in his mind. In the following work, he quickly discovered the fact that if he could win the support of his former opponent, then he would have great success in the Ministry of Magic. Nothing goes wrong.

When Fudge tested Crouch for this purpose, he found that apart from the common topic of pursuing fugitives, they were all dissatisfied with one person - the bewildering Dumbledore.

Fudge became more and more convinced that Crouch was really dedicated to the public good!It was as if he was meeting this old rival for the first time.

Crouch did not agree to join forces to deal with Dumbledore's request, but Fudge was confident that at least in this matter, Crouch would definitely be his assistant.

At night, the public-minded Crouch did not choose the Floo Network, but used Apparition to leave. The destination was not his home, but a house hidden by magic.

"Master, that idiot Fudge took the bait!" Crouch raised his lips.
