Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1092 Breaking News

Although the "Daily Prophet" did not make a big report on the "riot" that happened at Hogwarts because of Fudge, it still made the front page news of major newspapers and caused an uproar in the wizarding world , No one thought that such a big event would appear out of thin air overnight.

   What surprised everyone even more was that the major newspapers actually investigated the cause, process and results of the whole incident, and presented the "truth" in front of everyone.

  However, the most eye-catching thing in the newspaper is actually the photo taken by Lee Jordan. The corridor full of Aurors is really jaw-dropping.

  Of course, corresponding to the front page photo, there are all kinds of weird headlines, but all major newspapers are questioning the true level of elite Aurors.

   A large group of Aurors singled out a student, but in the end they still lost. Being easily thrown upside down and hung on the wall by the other party was like a dream.

  The Aurors have disgraced the Ministry of Magic.

   Of course, there are actually more newspapers bashing Fudge.

  Some newspapers also publicly exposed the fact that Fudge led people to suppress Hogwarts, but the students rose up to resist.

  Fudge was finally beaten unconscious by angry students, and the news that he was thrown like garbage at the school gate was published in the newspapers like a joke.

  The most incredible thing is that the seemingly absurd report actually has photos as evidence.

   It's really dumbfounding.

Fudge's political opponents even seized the opportunity to severely criticize Fudge's recent absurd things, not only pointing out Fudge's persecution of Dumbledore, but also moving the latest 123 education orders formulated by the Ministry of Magic. come out.

   For a while, public opinion was in an uproar, and wizards asked Fudge to give an explanation, and the voices that originally asked Fudge to step down also increased.

   However, Fudge is ignorant of the changes at the Ministry of Magic, and he still faints at the school gate along with the other wizards.

   In the end, he was awakened by reporters who rushed to Hogwarts to interview him.

   Before Fudge could wake up from his confusion, he was surrounded by a group of excited reporters.

"Minister, I heard that the most elite Aurors of the Ministry of Magic were defeated by a Hogwarts student." A witch enthusiastically handed her microphone to Fudge, "What do you know about this matter?" What do you want to say?"

"I heard that because of the excessive interference of the Ministry of Magic, there was a big riot at Hogwarts, and the professor sent by the Ministry of Magic to Hogwarts was expelled. Is this true?" Another wizard also said The microphone was handed to Fudge, hoping to get confirmation from Fudge.

   "Why did the Ministry of Magic arrest the Weasley brothers." Another reporter asked, "Could it be that they really have the secret weapon to subvert the Ministry of Magic as rumored?"

   "Minister, I heard that the Ministry of Magic took the lead in attacking Professor McGonagall at Hogwarts, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the teachers and students of the school. Is it true?"

   "Minister, I heard that last night the students of Hogwarts were all participating in the celebration banquet celebrating the expulsion of the Deputy Minister. Is this true?"

   "Minister, is the Ministry of Magic really planning to suppress the Hogwarts riot?"

   "Minister..."

  The reporters asked one after another, which made Fudge's head big, his cheeks flushed, and he wanted to let this group of annoying flies go away.

  However, Fudge finally suppressed his inner anger, and patiently said to the reporters present: "Everyone, please be quiet, the Ministry of Magic will hold a press conference in the near future, and I will explain it clearly to everyone."

   After speaking, Fudge didn't give the reporters any time to react, and directly apparated away with other Ministry of Magic officials, leaving a group of reporters looking at each other in blank dismay.

  However, the newspaper reporters were not disappointed by Fudge's hasty departure, and it was a good harvest to be able to take photos. Moreover, they did not come to Hogwarts to interview Fudge, but to interview the teachers and students of Hogwarts, reconfirm the major events that happened last night, and try to make several high-quality follow-up reports.

  …

   Meanwhile, somewhere in a safe house in Scotland.

  Fred, who had just woken up, yawned, looked at the regretful George, and asked doubtfully, "Did something important happen?"

   "It's more than a big deal, you can read it yourself." George put the newspaper in front of Fred and began to enjoy his own breakfast.

   "There is still such a thing. If I knew it, I wouldn't be in a hurry to leave. I really missed a good show."

   Neither of them expected that such a big thing would happen in the school just after they left Hogwarts.

   "It seems that the toad really annoyed Albert." George swallowed the fried egg in his mouth and murmured, "I've never seen him so angry."

   "More than a hundred whips!"

Fred threw the newspaper on the table and said gloatingly, "That guy is really unlucky. If we knew that Albert should have driven the toads away from the beginning, we could still have Hogg Watts Castle as a base camp."

   "Didn't you always want to leave school early to be a joke shop?" George asked back.

   "Do you think I'm an idiot?"

   "Aren't you an idiot?"

   "Do you think the wanted criminal will fall into the trap?" Fred couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and cleared the eggs on the plate.

   "Fudge doesn't want us." George took the newspaper again and said to himself, "However, you're right, it's not surprising that Fudge wants us."

   "After all, we want to overthrow the Ministry of Magic." Fred sneered, "That fellow Fudge is an idiot."

   "Regret?"

  George wiped out the last morsel of food on the plate, and thanks to the help of Dobby the house-elf, they didn't know how to solve their eating problems.

"Regret, that's out of the question, and it's already been done, why do you want me to regret it?" Fred curled his lips and said suddenly, "You said that if Fudge knew that there was no so-called secret weapon, would he be punished? Are you vomiting blood?"

"I don't know if Fudge will be so angry that he vomits blood." George paused and reminded, "However, if Mom doesn't receive any news from us, she will probably be very anxious. We have to find a way to send a letter home, Let them know we're safe."

   "You're right, but how should we send letters home?" Fred covered his hiccups and reminded, "There are no owls here that can help deliver letters."

"this is very simple."

  George summons Dobby the house elf and asks where his suitcase is.

  He found the suitcase, took the parchment and quill from inside, and after simply expressing his safety in the letter, he asked the house elf to help forward it.

  Use the Hogwarts owl, or the post office owl.

   As for the owl being caught and tracked by the Ministry of Magic?

  They are not afraid, because they don't know where this is, and the owl can't find them.

Yesterday, after Fred and George were rescued by the firework dragon, they were sent away by the Portkey given by Albert. In the end, Dobby the house elf brought them here. It is said that it is Albert's temporary stronghold, surrounded by Many layers of magical protection.

  The luggage at Hogwarts was also packed and sent here. The two need to live here temporarily, continue to develop or manufacture joke props, and can only leave after the current turmoil passes.

   "Where's the Albert?" Fred asked Dobby the house elf, "Didn't that guy also quit school early?"

   "Mr. Anderson is in another safe house. For some reason, I can't say where it is." The house elf explained.

   "Are you really stupid." George couldn't help rolling his eyes.

   "You're the fool," Fred muttered.

   "That guy must be with his girlfriend, what's the point?"

   "The guy who forgets his friends when he sees sex."

   "Okay, don't complain, let's contact Lee Jordan first, he may have already received an order." George greeted Fred to go to work.

   "Tell me, should we quietly move back to Hogwarts." Fred suddenly suggested.

  If they rented a shop in Diagon Alley, he would never have thought of it like this, but it's a bit of a pain to stay in such a **** place now.

"Don't be stupid, without Albert's cover, we are easily exposed, not to mention we don't have a magical suitcase." George directly rejected Fred's unreliable proposal. If the Ministry of Magic really intervenes in Hogwarts According to Ci, maybe Lee Jordan, who stayed at Hogwarts, would also have to run away together.

   "I'll just talk casually."

"There is a laboratory here, where we can continue to make joke props. Let's go, it's time to work," George pulled Fred to the laboratory Albert prepared for them, "at least, before opening the shop, We have to prepare the goods for sale, we can start manufacturing this part now, and Albert seems to be getting married, and we have to help him prepare large fireworks."

   "Okay, you're right, it's time for us to work." Fred and George walked into the laboratory and started a new job.

  It is very safe here, and there are house elves to take care of daily life, so they don't have to worry about various problems at all, allowing them to devote all their energy to opening the store.

  Albert is more reliable than they expected. As long as they don't leave the house, no one will be able to find them. From the outside, this is just the wreckage of a dilapidated hut.

  …

   It seemed that he had a premonition that someone was nagging him, and Albert, who was lying in bed, couldn't help but sneezed. He reached out and rubbed his nose, and buried his head in the bed again.

   "Okay, it's time for you to get up too."

  Isobel pushed Albert a little funny, signaling him to get up.

   "Let me lie down for a while." Albert muttered with his eyes closed.

   "Really, get up soon."

   Half an hour later,

  Albert lazily got up from the bed, changed his clothes again with the help of Isobel, and sat on the chair by the dining table.

"really tired?"

"Sleepy."

   "Then after eating, drink a bottle of vitality tonic. I'll let the house elf stew a chicken for you later." Isobel put a hearty breakfast in front of Albert, without any embarrassment.

  Men are actually easy to pass.

   "Forget it. Don't drink things like potions too often." Albert covered his yawn and changed the subject, "Is there today's newspaper?"

   "Dobby just delivered it, and you are completely famous." Isobel put several newspapers in front of Albert and said.

"It's nothing, the reporter just likes to make a fuss." Albert yawned again, and after simply eliminating the food on the plate, he picked up the glass of warm milk and drank the milk in the glass in one go Light.

As for the news in those newspapers, most of them were the result of Albert's intentional guidance. The front page news photo above was sponsored by Lee Jordan. What kind of people are they? They will even question Fudge, and his panel task has been completed, and his reputation in the wizarding world is steadily rising.

   It is estimated that the Death Eaters are targeting him again, but Albert doesn't mind at all. Anyway, if there is such a thing, the Death Eaters will make trouble for him.

   "What are you going to do next?" Isobel put down his knife and fork and asked.

   "Next? Of course I will stay with you." Albert said naturally, "By the way, take a rest and wait for the opportunity."

   "Timing?"

  Isobel stretched out his hand to caress Tom squatting on the chair, and asked, "Wait for Dumbledore to return to Hogwarts?"

"That's right." Albert stretched his waist and said, "If you run around, you might be caught by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. Now I can just finish my new book, and I'm just short of the last day." It's time."

In fact, it would be easier to stay at Hogwarts, because there are classes to attend every day, and to Albert, attending classes is like slacking off. Now that he leaves school, he still has a lot of things to do every day. To do it, even if you want to be lazy, you can't find an excuse to be lazy.

  No way, now is not the time to be lazy.

  After all, there is still a big enemy like Voldemort watching, and Albert dare not relax his vigilance at all.

  God knows what will happen once you relax!

  He will never allow himself to lose everything he has finally obtained, absolutely not.

  He didn't want to be Mr. and Mrs. James.

  That's right, Albert has been using the Potters as a warning lately.

  Who made them die miserably.

   In Albert's view, the Potters were definitely winners in life, but it was a pity that they died miserably.

   For such unlucky people, one case is enough.

  …

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Albert and his group, Cornelius Fudge is still in a diplomatic dilemma. The entire wizarding world is waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation, but Fudge can't think of any good solution now .

   Scrimgeour, who used to have a good relationship with him, gradually became estranged due to the previous missions related to Hogwarts.

  Especially because of Umbridge, the Aurors were once again reduced to a laughing stock, and the split between the two sides was inevitable, and it was difficult for Scrimgeour to provide him with assistance in this regard.

  As for the external situation, Fudge can only blame Dumbledore.

   Even at the press conference, he vowed to mention Dumbledore's plan to subvert the Ministry of Magic and the secret weapon that could subvert the Ministry of Magic.

"Minister." A reporter interrupted Fudge's speech, "I heard that there is no so-called secret weapon at all, that thing was actually fabricated by the Weasley brothers to fool Deputy Minister Umbridge, even Mr. Potter Said personally that the Weasley brothers told everyone about it as a joke."

   "Yes, everyone said that Deputy Umbridge always suspected that Dumbledore was trying to subvert the Ministry of Magic, so they made up a lie to deceive her."

   After Rita Skeeter smiled and said the heavy news she had just received, she looked at Fudge, who was blushing and purple with interest.

   She loves the big news.

"No, this is actually a conspiracy prepared in advance by Dumbledore, including the riots at Hogwarts, and it was also Dumbledore who asked the Weasley twins to provoke Hogwarts students to fight against the Ministry of Magic." Fudge changed the topic through gritted teeth .

"But the Hogwarts students said that it was all because the Ministry of Magic made too many education orders and Umbridge ran amok at Hogwarts, which completely annoyed the teachers and students of Hogwarts." Another reporter said loudly, "I've also heard students at Hogwarts call the Deputy Minister a toad."

   "Minister, do you know about Deputy Minister Umbridge's atrocities at Hogwarts?"

"What?"

  Fudge was confused by the reporters' inquiries.

"Deputy Minister Umbridge liked to use a black magic quill to punish students during his tenure at Hogwarts." Then, the reporter took out a quill and parchment from his purse and handed it to Fudge. , "This quill uses the blood of the writer as ink, you can try his effect yourself."

  Fudge foolishly took the quill without intending to use it, and told him directly that the accusations against Umbridge by those reporters might be true, and that guy's reputation in the Ministry of Magic is not very good.

   "Minister, I also heard that Umbridge used Veritaserum and Cruciatus to torture students."

   "The Ministry of Magic is still unable to confirm what you said, and we will conduct a suspension investigation on Deputy Minister Umbridge next."

  Fudge exhaustedly dealt with a series of inquiries from the reporters, and finally had to find an excuse to temporarily stabilize the reporters.

  Investigation, of course the investigation will be suspended.

   As for when there will be results, it's hard to say.

  Maybe, everyone has forgotten by then.

   "Minister, what do you think of the Aurors in the entire Ministry of Magic being defeated by a school wizard." A reporter continued to ask.

  In fact, the reporters have already colluded in advance, planning to take turns to ask about several topics, and there are many things in it that can be used to make heavy news.

   "I think everyone has been misled. The Aurors have never been defeated by one person, but fell into the trap of a despicable and shameless conspiracy." Fudge argued loudly.

  "We interviewed a large number of Hogwarts students, and they all claimed to have witnessed the duel between Mr. Anderson and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic."

   "At that time, Professor Umbridge even despicably used the Cruciatus Curse to attack Mr. Anderson in an attempt to help the Aurors win."

   "It is said that two other Slytherin students did the same thing, and they are still lying in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Disorders."

  The reporters said a word one by one, which made Fudge unable to step down.

   "It's all nonsense. Just think about it on your knees. How can a Hogwarts student defeat a group of Aurors alone." Fudge said angrily.

   "Yes, we saw it with our own eyes." A famous reporter suddenly said: "A student gave us a magical memory ball, which recorded the fierce battle."

   "Mr. Minister, can you tell us why you are lying?"

   "Is it to cover up the incompetence of the Aurors?"

  The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very awkward.

  At the beginning, after Fudge and his group left, the reporter also interviewed the students of Hogwarts, and not only got the truth, but also got countless heavy news that Albert specially left them.

   Fudge is rendered speechless by the reporters.

   But his troubles are not over yet. More and more reporters are questioning Fudge, saying that no one is secretly provoking it. Obviously it is impossible, but many wizards think that Fudge is no longer suitable to be the Minister of Magic.

  Calls for Fudge to step down are growing.

  Many employees of the Ministry of Magic gloated over this, and believed in the prophecy that Fudge would be kicked out in the summer.
