Chapter 268 1 Everything is over

Aphrodite, Harry and Cedric stayed in the school infirmary until the holiday.

During this time, Fred brought them the results of the trial of Crouch father and son.

"Dumbledore didn't have time to stop it."

After George peeled an apple, he put it directly into Afro's mouth, "Fudge doesn't believe this. He brought a Dementor over."

"Now they have all lost their souls and are living a life worse than death," Sirius continued.

"It was such an easy deal for them, they killed so many people!" Hermione clenched her fists in indignation.

Aphrodite ate the apple silently, and occasionally gave two pieces to Harry and Cedric.

She had known that Fudge would do this. For Fudge, who valued the position of minister more than anyone else, no stain was allowed during his term of office.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe it, but that he doesn’t dare to believe it.

"What will happen to the little elf named Winky?" Hermione has been busy this semester trying to free the house-elves, but with little success.

Wizards who were used to elves didn't understand her, and Muggle wizards were more likely to take a nonchalant attitude.

"Maybe I'll be given a piece of clothing?" Fred sat on the other side of Afro's pillow. His arm seemed to be on the head of the bed, but in fact it was under the girl's head.

Hermione stood up from her chair excitedly, "That's not fair! It didn't do anything, how can you treat an elf like this?"

The sudden impact scared George so much that the peel of the perfectly peeled apple in his hand broke.

"Hermione, don't worry, I've asked Dobby to go find Winky."

Harry nodded in agreement with Aphrodite and comforted Hermione, "Don't worry, Winky won't be hurt as long as Aphrodite is here."

Hermione wanted to say something else, but an argument suddenly broke out outside the infirmary, sounding like the voices of Dumbledore and Fudge.

"He's a lunatic! He thought he had received a message from You-Know-Who—"

"Everyone has seen it. The image on the maze! It's real!"

"Dumbledore, who knows if this is not your conspiracy? Do you want to disturb the peace of the wizarding world?"

Dumbledore was amused by Fudge's series of remarks. He seldom showed his emotions, but Fudge's words were really infuriating!

"Are you saying that what they and the audience saw was fake?"

Fudge pressed down the brim of his hat guiltily, switched hands to hold the cane, and ran stubbornly along a path until darkness.

"Harry is suspicious to begin with. He's a Parseltongue, right? Who would believe what these two kids say?"

Dumbledore and Fudge broke up completely because they had no idea what was going on.

Dumbledore sneered at Fudge, who refused to admit it, and asked him one last time.

"So you still don't think—"

"I think you've gone mad too, Dumbledore!"

Everyone in the room listened to their quarrel in silence. Afro did not expect that even at this point, Fudge would still choose power and ignore the safety of others.

She had thought that with Cedric and the video as evidence, he would at least be on guard.

"Fudge is the crazy one, right?" Fred said calmly.

"Why doesn't he believe it?" Harry didn't understand. In his opinion, the evidence was irrefutable. How could he still act like a gangster?

Afro saw it clearly. She nonchalantly picked up a piece of apple and stuffed it into the mouth of George who was looking at her eagerly.

“He just can’t bear to give up his power.”

Everyone was silent. They were just students and most of the time they were exposed to things like pranks.

The door of the school infirmary was pushed open from the outside, and Snape walked in with two glittering crystal bottles.

"Dumbledore said you needed some water of life and death."

As he spoke, he dropped two drops of potion into three water glasses.

"Professor!" Avro called to Snape, who was leaving after completing his task, "Can I borrow two minutes of your time?"

Snape did not turn around. After listening to the girl's words, he continued to walk out.

"Two minutes."

Afro didn't dare to waste time, so she threw back the quilt, jumped out of bed and chased after Snape.

They walked to a secret place one after the other. Dumbledore and Fudge, who were arguing outside just now, were gone. Now they were the only two people left in the corridor.

"What is the professor going to do next?"
