Chapter 265 Fudge: What?Sell the castle?
"Good evening, Albus! Your password is still so, so childish, yes! Childish!" Fudge was overjoyed, and he pushed Harry in front of Dumbledore, knocking all the magic things on his desk Gadget, swept aside, sat sideways on it, pointed to the silent Harry and said, "Come and see, what have I brought you? Our savior Harry Potter In order to overthrow the Ministry of Magic, he summoned more than 100 young wizards from Hogwarts."
"Unfortunately, we caught it. It's in the castle. What's that room called? The Room of Requirement?"
"Connelly, maybe they were just playing there, or chatting about the problems they encountered in their studies. It's nothing to be surprised about. If you came to chat with me tonight, I'd be happy to accompany you, but you need to wait a little longer. ,” Dumbledore finished speaking softly, and looked at Professor McGonagall who was standing next to him, “I also want to talk to the professor about education issues. You know, there are too many education orders recently. We need to adapt a little bit."
"Albus, you still don't seem to understand the current situation!" Fudge jumped off the table, pointing at Harry, "When Mr. Potter was studying at Hogwarts, he privately summoned a large number of wizards to train powerful spells and combat skills, What an egregious and illegal act to attempt to overthrow the Ministry of Magic?"
"Oh, he's just a child, an underage wizard." Dumbledore put down the document in his hand, lowered his head and helped his reading glasses, "Connelly, are you taking things too seriously? "
"Aha! Did I make things serious? You have to understand, because he is a little wizard, so it is impossible for him to have such an idea. Do you think the Ministry of Magic is afraid of these more than 100 little wizards? His Someone behind him must have ordered him to do this!" Fudge leaned over, put his hands on the desk, looked at Dumbledore, and said word by word, "That person is you!"
"I'm just a crazy old man, people say that about me everywhere, do you think I still have the ability to instruct him to overthrow the Ministry of Magic?" Dumbledore picked up a thick stack of newspapers on the desk and threw it in front of him, motioning him have a look.
"you!"
Fudge was choked by Dumbledore, of course he knew what was said in the newspapers, and he had worked hard on it.
"Weasley! Cross this out," Fudge turned around and shouted to Percy, who was recording crazily, took a deep breath and said to Dumbledore, "Albus, I won't tell you what's wrong. Yes, we're here with witnesses!"
"Miss Marietta Ackmore," Umbridge said, pulling the trembling little witch beside her to the front, "tell us, what is the purpose of the party called by Harry Potter! Just like before you Say it in my office, paraphrase it!"
Harry had already closed his eyes in despair. He had an impression of Marietta. She was Qiu's friend. When she joined the club, she was a little reluctant. Harry couldn't figure it out. , why brought her here, if it was Qiu...
"I, I," Marietta's terrified eyes shifted back and forth between Dumbledore and Fudge's faces. One of them was the greatest white wizard of the time, the other was the Minister of Magic of England, neither of them Who can she offend, "I don't know! Huh~~"
"Oh! ~ Honey, that's not what you said in my office!" Umbridge pulled her back, "You clearly..."
"Enough! Dolores! Stop your atrocities!" Dumbledore stood up suddenly, "I will not allow you to touch my students."
Harry saw that Dumbledore did not use his wand, Umbridge withdrew his hand so abruptly, put it behind him, and looked at Dumbledore in fear.
"Marietta Eckmore, what a good name, I remember this surname," Fudge walked up to her, and said in a gentle voice, "Mrs. Eckmore, the Floo Network Office of the Ministry of Magic..."
"I, I, I say! Please let her go!" Marietta cried harder, and when Fudge mentioned her mother's name, she couldn't care about anything else, "I, we practice magic in Response!" Curse, exercising actual combat ability is for self-protection!"
"Self-protection? What self-protection? Quick! Tell me everything you know!" Fudge urged her excitedly, then turned to tell Percy, "Be sure to record the following!"
"Yes! Sir! Guaranteed to complete the task!" Percy bit the quill in his mouth excitedly, and took out a new one from his pocket, for fear that something might go wrong when writing at a critical moment.
"They, they suspect that the Ministry of Magic and the Dark Lord are cooperating to jointly target Principal Dumbledore. Once the conflict breaks out, it will lead to war, and we Hogwarts students will be doomed..." Marietta sobbed Then, with a crying voice, she said little by little what she knew.
"Look, look! Dumbledore! What a clever method? Is this an idea that an underage wizard can come up with? The Ministry of Magic and the Dark Lord are united? It's nonsense!" Connelly slapped the table angrily. , "Albus! Are you going to use these rumors to develop your power and overthrow the Ministry of Magic?"
"Okay, Connelly, I admit..." Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the expectant Fudge with a smile on his face.
"Professor! It's me!" Harry shouted, Kingsley who was standing behind gave him a warning look, and Professor McGonagall also stared at him and told him to keep quiet.
"Harry! Be quiet, otherwise, I can only ask you to leave my office." Dumbledore's tone was very calm.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Potter! Don't make a sound, let him talk! Come on! Albus, what are you going to admit just now?" Fudge shouted impatiently.
"Oh~, as we get older, it's easy to forget something," Dumbledore said slowly, seeing Fudge's anxious look, "Let me think about it, by the way, I just want to admit..."
Fudge's eyes widened, he held his breath, and his heart kept echoing: Speak out!You should say it quickly!
Umbridge also stared at those small eyes, and stared at Dumbledore with a red face, as long as you say it, then I, Umbridge, can sit as the headmaster of Hogwarts!
"Huh!? Mr. Principal, it's so lively here tonight!"
The sudden sound made everyone turn their heads to look at the door, and a black cat walked in with graceful cat steps.
"Oh! Isn't this our Minister of Magic, Your Excellency Cornelius Fudge?" The black cat jumped onto the table and winked at Fudge.
"Black cat! Why are you everywhere! What are you doing here!?" Fudge glared at him angrily, "You want to meddle in this matter?"
"No, no, no," the black cat squatted on the table, raised its paw, popped out two cat nails, and flicked each other, "I'm not in the mood to meddle in your conflicts, I'm here tonight to make a deal. "
"Business?" Fudge repeated in doubt.
"Yes! Headmaster Dumbledore, is Hogwarts still for sale?" The black cat turned to look at Dumbledore after finishing speaking, "I have prepared enough gold Galleons!"
"You're crazy! You're going to sell Hogwarts Castle!?" Fudge's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Oh, don't worry, it's just land use rights." Dumbledore shrugged, took out a magic contract from the drawer, and quickly wrote his name on it.
"Huh ~ land use rights, what! Land use rights!?" Fudge reacted immediately and wanted to stop the black cat from signing, but the other party had already pressed the cat's paw on the contract.
"You count it, don't get the wrong number, and settle the score with Maomao afterwards," the black cat ignored Fudge's shocked look, and took out the golden keys of Gringotts one by one from the white cat's hairpin, " A total of 50 anonymous vault keys! One million Galleons each!"
"Well! I'm very relieved to do business with you," Dumbledore waved away the golden keys, "I may not be able to pay you the rent, but it doesn't matter, Cornelius Fudge will find a suitable headmaster candidate. "
