Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1047 Christmas broadcast

   "According to reliable news recently received, the notorious Fenrir Greyback has been secretly active for the past six months, and has already recruited a large number of werewolves in private, yet the Ministry of Magic is actually indifferent to this..."

The voice of Sirius came out from the radio, and it was broadcast to everyone on Christmas Eve. Sirius planned it a long time ago. It was a Christmas gift for the loyal listeners who listened to the wizard's watch station. He also planned to use this to start the wizard's watch station and the reputation of Defense Express.

  In Albert's words, the most critical moment has arrived.

  Those who tuned in to the Wizard's Lookout were stunned by the news that came over the radio.

  Especially the families of Hogwarts students, they obviously did not expect to hear such alarmist "secret news".

"...you'd better pay attention to the safety of yourself and your family, especially on the night of the full moon, don't run around, don't give them a chance to hurt you, and it's best to use protective spells to protect your home and family, A house alone is not safe enough, and the notorious Fenrir Greyback had more than one case of breaking into and attacking its occupants."

  “We will publish another issue recently: How to protect yourself and your family from the threat of werewolves, and how to arrange defensive magic around your residence. If you are interested, you can look forward to the "Defense Letters" in early January.

Sirius, who was in the broadcasting room, glanced sideways at Lupine beside him, and continued to speak into the microphone: "Maybe, there are a small number of kind werewolves among werewolves, and I know one, but don't hold any grudges against most werewolves." Too many expectations, especially the group of werewolves who were recruited by Fenrir Greyback. Heinous villain."

Sirius picked up another piece of parchment and continued: "The following is a follow-up message regarding the suspected curse of the Deputy Minister of Magic and Senior Inquisitor Dolores Umbridge by the Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. "

"Currently, Umbridge is still suffering from a very serious skin disease. If she insists on describing her, she looks like a humanoid toad. I received a photo from an unknown person a while ago. It is indeed very beautiful. Like a toad in human form, she is currently receiving treatment in the Hogwarts school hospital and cannot continue to teach Hogwarts students for the time being."

"According to the latest information we have received, Dolores Umbridge's illness is likely to be man-made, rather than a curse from the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. An organization called the Anti-Toad League currently claims Responsible. For this reason, I hereby strongly condemn the actions of the Anti-Toad League. As we all know, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has always been a rather laborious profession. Since being cursed, more than fifty professors have been replaced. There are not many wizards in positions..."

  At this moment, the Hogwarts School Hospital is playing the broadcast from the wizard lookout station. Umbridge, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, was rummaging around, trying to find the source of the sound.

  Umbridge still couldn't find the radio, and just as she was about to leave the school hospital in a panic, she bumped into Madam Pomfrey who was finishing her meal.

  Finally, under the watchful eye of the head nurse, Umbridge returned to the hospital bed. As for the pink toad on the Christmas tree next to the hospital bed, she had forcibly removed it and shattered it with a magic wand.

  “…We sincerely hope that she will recover as soon as possible. Let us here offer the sincere wishes of the students of Hogwarts to Professor Umbridge…”

"I hope you can continue to look like a toad. Hogwarts is more important than anything without you—cough, I dare say this is a letter from the Anti-Toad Alliance. It's too arrogant. Let's continue to look at the next one." A greeting card," said Sirius solemnly.

"Thank you for all the laughs we've had this year, the memory of you turning into a pink toad is so strong that people are going to erect a statue of you to immortalize you at Hogwarts - oh my god, let me see, I can't believe there are so many Christmas cards, there isn't a normal one!"

   "Sirius Black." Umbridge gritted his teeth out of his mouth.

   "Calm down ma'am, irritability is not conducive to your recovery, I suggest you turn off the radio." Madam Pomfrey brought Umbridge the potion for tonight, suggesting with a deadpan expression.

   If she could, she would have done so.

  Umbridge stared at Madam Pomfrey, who she suspected was the trick.

  Actually, she really misunderstood, it was the house-elf's fault.

   The radio was actually under a strong Disillusionment and Shielding spell, and was hidden, so Umbridge couldn't find it.

   The broadcast on the radio was still going on, and the content of the report made Umbridge more and more horrified and angry.

   "The following is reliable information provided by a certain prophecy master who does not want to be named: The Death Eaters are planning an escape from Azkaban..."

  Umbridge didn't believe in prophecy at first, but after being manipulated by Sybill Trelawney, she became extremely wary of those **** prophecies.

"...Antonin Dolohov, Bellatrix Lestrange and other ten Death Eater felons currently imprisoned in Azkaban will escape. Friendly reminder, if you Whoever has enmity with them, you'd better be vigilant to avoid retaliation from the Death Eaters, and don't count on the conscience of the Death Eaters, unless you are willing to gamble with your own and your family's lives."

"Although the dementors are still guarding Azkaban, they are the natural allies of the mysterious man, because the mysterious man can give the dementors far more than the Ministry of Magic, so sooner or later the dementors will betray Dumbledore has warned everyone more than once that dementors are unreliable. Let us wait and see whether his words can be verified. By the way, according to the information provided by the master prophecy who did not want to be named , the Dementors will be close to the You-Know-Who before the end of next summer. I really hope his prophecy turns out to be wrong, good luck to everyone, good luck to the entire wizarding world."

   Rufus Scrimgeour stared at the Christmas present he had just received, and fell into a brief silence.

  I thought that someone had sent me an item with a black magic curse, but I didn't expect it to be a radio. While Scrimgeour was studying the radio, the voice of Sirius Black suddenly came out of the radio. Scrimgeour's quality as the head of the Auror office made him realize very quickly that someone wanted him to hear what was on the radio. content.

  Actually, Sirius Black's Christmas broadcast was a bit horrifying, and if it got out, it would cause panic in the wizarding world.

  If it wasn't for the fact that the Ministry of Magic couldn't find where he was hiding, he would have been imprisoned in Azkaban Prison for disturbing public order.

At first, Rufus Scrimgeour thought that the news in the broadcast was fake, and it was Dumbledore's silly trick, but Auror's intuition told him that the broadcast was probably not made by Dumbledore, the old man Old people don't do such boring things.

The contents of the broadcast should not be false. The guy who sent him the radio obviously hoped that he could hear the contents of the broadcast, so as to raise his vigilance and prevent some bad things from happening: such as the Azkaban jailbreak incident ?

  In his capacity as head of the Auror Office, it is indeed possible to prevent the impending escape.

  Probably so, otherwise why would the other party send him a radio?

   Yes, will there really be an Azkaban escape in the near future?

   Rufus Scrimgeour frowned deeply.

   This is not good news.

He really didn't really care about this matter. Although Dumbledore reminded Fudge, there is really no evidence that there will be a prison break in Azkaban. What's worse is that Fudge suppressed Dumbledore, which led to the entire magic. Due to the turmoil within the Ministry, Fudge's position is becoming more and more unstable now, and some of the things he does are also extreme.

Scrimgeour can actually understand Fudge's thoughts. After all, Fudge is the Minister of Magic. He needs to consider many things and meet everyone's expectations, instead of "doing whatever he wants" like Dumbledore. This involves some Political Factors.

   However, Fudge did a terrible job.

  He is not a qualified politician, and he is almost cornered.

   Scrimgeour can even imagine that if the escape from Azkaban is true, he might really be ousted from power as predicted.

   This is actually good news.

Listening to Black talking about Cornelius Fudge's successor without any scruples on the radio, Scrimgeour's heart also felt a bit fluctuated, especially when he became the two designated candidates, Scrimgeour's The heartbeat couldn't help but beat faster.

However, Scrimgeour quickly regained his composure, because Amelia Bones has a significantly higher probability of becoming the new Minister of Magic than himself. Amelia Bones can be said to be Fudge's successor. She is also faultless in all aspects. She has a prominent family background, is serious and fair, and spares no effort in fighting against dark forces.

  However, Scrimgeour didn't understand why Black said that he had a higher probability of becoming a minister?

   Become a minister!

  If you really become a minister!

   Scrimgeour quickly dismissed these unrealistic ideas, and now he only hoped that Fudge would step down quickly.

  No way, Fudge has been acting really badly recently, making the Ministry of Magic a mess.

Although Scrimgeour is also dissatisfied with Dumbledore's actions, it is actually a better choice to keep a unified pace with Dumbledore as much as possible. It is necessary to make the problem so rigid.

   Scrimgeour didn't listen to what Black said later, he was always thinking about what to do if he became the Minister of Magic, standing in Fudge's position?

   I don't know how long it took before Scrimgeour suddenly came to his senses. The broadcast was coming to an end.

"...we are trying to interview Harry Potter. If he is willing to be interviewed, I think everyone will get the truth soon. At that time, I will also reveal to you the details of the night when the mysterious man was resurrected and the truth hidden among us. Death Eaters."

"Of course, you can also take my words as a bad joke, and those prophecies as a shocking hoax, and I don't intend to convince you, because you will soon be able to see with your own eyes, the truth is what I said How much difference is there?"

  Finally, Merry Christmas everyone!

  The radio fell into a blaze, and Scrimgeour also fell silent, because according to Black's prophecy, after a long time, they will be able to peek into a corner of the truth.

   "Azkaban escape?"

"is that true?"

   "Can I stop myself?"

   "If the mysterious man is really resurrected, what should we do?"

  If you really become the Minister of Magic, if you replace yourself, can you really do better?

   Scrimgeour fell into a still longer silence.

  The case of Barty Crouch may be a good choice.

  …

   "Screrimgeour will be the new Minister?" Katrina asked.

   "Yes." Albert turned off the radio and said calmly, "An unlucky guy with bad luck."

   "Bad luck?"

   "This involves some secrets, which cannot be revealed yet." Albert said mysteriously.

   "You guys always like to be mysterious." Katrina knew that Albert would not speak, so she stopped asking.

   "You made the prophecy?" Mrs. McDougal understood, "Are you the master prophecy who did not want to be named?"

   "Yes." Albert nodded. "Unfortunately, most people will not accept the truth before the crisis."

   "That's right, wizards are like this." Mrs. McDougall said with emotion.

   "So I can only do my best. As for the final result, I don't really care." Albert said calmly, "Because trying to prevent everything from happening is arrogant."

   "I believe in you." Isobel leaned his head on Albert's shoulder.

   "How long will this chaos last." Mrs. McDougal asked.

   "It's hard to say, maybe it will end within a few years, maybe it will take longer." Albert shook his head and said, "I prefer the former."

   "I still think it's best for you to go abroad and leave Europe." Mrs. McDougal looked at the two and said, "Stay away from this place of right and wrong, and come back when everything is stable."

"I am very clear about what I am doing, and I will also protect their safety." Albert said calmly, "I have left a retreat for myself, and once things really go to the worst situation, I will take them immediately leave."

  Mrs. McDougal was not talking about this, she turned her head to look at Katrina, and warned, "After graduation, don't run around and don't cause trouble for everyone."

   "I didn't, but mother is more worrying." Katrina retorted stubbornly.
