Hogwarts Life Guide

Dumbledore had placed protective spells on the Dursleys a long time ago. As for what they were, no one except Dumbledore knew.

The most critical thing, the magic used to protect Harry's life, was not triggered in this explosion.

This is a question worth pondering for Dumbledore.

Fudge suffered a blow from Dumbledore. At this moment, his trusted assistant, Dolores Umbridge, the Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic, appeared on the scene and gave him an 'all is over' gesture.

Fudge felt relieved now, which meant that the last bit had been cleaned up.

Although Fudge only knew in advance that Umbridge had a plan against Harry Potter, he did not even know the content of the plan.But this made him even more satisfied with his loyal subordinates, because once the matter was exposed, he didn't even have to find an excuse to get out, because he really knew nothing.

Of course, he would be more satisfied if Ms. Umbridge was more beautiful.

Unfortunately, Fudge didn't know that Umbridge had seen that he was about to lose power, and had already secretly contacted the popular candidate for the next minister - Crouch, who in the hearts of the people could lead the Ministry of Magic to quell the chaos in the wizarding world. Just like he did more than ten years ago.

As for the small mistakes Barty Crouch had made...including the reasons why he lost his position as minister, no one cared about it when faced with risks.

The people needed a strong Minister for Magic, and Crouch had long since proven that he was, nothing more.

Back before the explosion, before dawn, a mouse quietly slipped into the Dursley's house from the sewer. It quietly ran to Harry's room and jumped to the bedside in a humane manner.

If one observes carefully, one will find that its right front paw is silver.

Until now, Dumbledore's magic left no warning.Just like after Sirius was released, the Ministry of Magic knew that prisoners could use Animagus to escape, but still failed to prevent Peter Pettigrew from escaping.

In fact, after the wizard uses Animagus to turn into an animal, except for his own thoughts, he is no different from an ordinary animal. Even Dumbledore has no good way to do this and can only send more members of the Order of the Phoenix to protect him nearby. Harry, who was able to arrive before the protective magic failed after Harry was attacked.

Harry on the bed had his eyes closed and his brows were furrowed, as if he was experiencing a nightmare.Seeing this, Mouse relaxed. Under the dim moonlight outside the window, a shadow grew bigger and bigger on Harry's bedside...

The mouse takes on human form, and his silver prosthetic hand becomes visible.He looked at Harry's hazy side face, and it was difficult to describe the expression on his face, disgust, guilt, anger, fear... to name a few.

To this day, Peter Pettigrew still can't figure out why things developed into this situation.

"You should be lucky, Harry. The Dark Lord is useful in getting you, and he won't kill you this time!" Peter Pettigrew whispered softly. He was sure that Harry would not wake up from the nightmare. The Dark Lord told him.

Among the Death Eaters, Peter Pettigrew has been working hard to reduce his presence. He never dared to say much to anyone, even the Lestrange family who escaped from prison together.

They should have been closer, but Peter Pettigrew was afraid of Bellatrix and at the same time did not dare to get close to the Rodolphus brothers. He saw it clearly from the perspective of a bystander and worried that one day he would become a victim of the brothers. pond fish.

Facing the sleeping Harry, Peter Pettigrew seemed to start chatting: "You have no idea how powerful the Dark Lord is. The Dark Lord cannot be killed. Now, the Dark Lord has understood the connection between you, just like Now, I'm holding your wand and you don't know anything..."

"I made the right choice, Harry... Thunderbolt explosion!" Peter Pettigrew cast the blasting spell and then returned the wand to its original position.

After turning back into a mouse, Peter Pettigrew took one last look at Harry and quickly left through the sewers he had come from.

By the time he got out of the sewer, he was already some distance away from the Dursleys' house.

"I'm sorry, Harry, I have no choice!" Peter Pettigrew thought silently in his heart and left without looking back.

At the same time, Umbridge was patrolling the room dedicated to monitoring Traces in the Office for the Misuse of Magic of the Ministry of Magic.

This is not an unusual behavior. After the attack on the Ministry of Magic, Crouch proposed that senior officials should be stationed in the Ministry of Magic at all times, including at night. Today it was the turn of Senior Deputy Minister Umbridge.

In the Ministry of Magic, the number of people who liked and disliked Umbridge was roughly the same as the number of staff members above and below her.

But Umbridge was particularly talkative that night, especially when she appeared in the room monitoring Trace.

She easily dispatched the staff on duty, found information about Harry, and erased two Animagus records, leaving only a blasting spell.

This is not difficult, because Trace can only detect magical behavior near underage wizards, so the Ministry of Magic will only focus on monitoring students who do not live with adult wizards.

Harry was originally with Sirius, and the monitoring was almost ineffective. Later, when Harry returned to the Dursleys, it was impossible for him to report to the Ministry of Magic...

It was obvious that the Office for the Abuse of Magic was not efficient enough to know Harry's whereabouts in real time.

No one, including the staff on duty, noticed the change.

……

Fudge didn't understand much of this. Umbridge's appearance gave him confidence and the courage to refute Dumbledore head-on.

"Albus, Potter violated the law. This is a serious illegal act. He almost killed his aunt's family!" Fudge showed a righteous expression. "This kind of behavior must be punished. As the Minister of Magic, I There is no shirking the responsibility, even if the person to be punished is the famous Harry Potter!"

"It wasn't me!" With Dumbledore at his side, Harry bravely retorted.

Fudge looked at Harry dissatisfied. He was not happy to have his authority challenged by Harry, and threatened: "It seems that Mr. Potter has not realized the seriousness of the problem. For such a vicious incident, being expelled from the school is only the lightest punishment." , if it’s serious, it’s not impossible to be imprisoned in Azkaban.”

"Mr. Minister, the spells cast by the wand do not explain the problem. Theoretically, there is a possibility that someone else sneaked into the house and used Harry's wand to cast the blasting spell." Dumbledore seemed to be tired of Fudge, so he simply contacted Fudge. Without calling any names, "In the absence of conclusive evidence, if Mr. Minister insists that Harry is guilty, then I think it is necessary to hold a hearing in the Wizengamot!"

"No problem!" Fudge agreed simply.

He knew very well that Dumbledore was the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, but he knew even better that Dumbledore would soon be no longer!
