Chapter 416 Perjury, the value of life-saving grace

Click!

A bolt from the blue suddenly exploded in Harry's heart, and then it started to rain continuously.

He accidentally betrayed Aaron, but he really didn't mean it.

But the problem is that everything has been sold. It seems that it is too late to repent at this time. You can't admit in front of everyone that what you saw was an illusion!

"The facts are obvious." Fudge spread his hands with a proud look on his face, "This is an action planned by a Death Eater to promote the terror of the mysterious man.

The fake Moody may have gone to Hogwarts to look for trouble because of something wrong with his mind. Harry and the other four people were intimidated and retaliated by dark forces, but the resurrection of the mysterious man was definitely a fiction. "

"Fudge." Dumbledore looked at him seriously and emphasized: "Voldemort has returned, you must accept this reality and take measures, so that we can still save the situation.

The first and most important step is to free Azkaban from the control of the Dementors. "

"Impossible." Fudge jumped angrily, "Once this resolution is proposed, I will definitely be kicked out of the office.

It's because of the dementors stationed in Azkaban that the rest of us can sleep peacefully, right? "

"They are Voldemort's most dangerous buddies. If you let them guard Voldemort's most loyal servants, what's the difference between that and sending them out of prison?

Those guys will not be loyal to you. Voldemort can give them far more power and pleasure than you can provide.

If Azkaban is still under the control of the Dementors, they will bring Voldemort's former loyal servants back to him, and by then he will easily be able to regain the terrifying power he had been thirteen years ago. "

Fudge opened his mouth, looking extremely angry, but he didn't know how to express it.

"In addition, you must take the second step - send a message to the giant." Dumbledore continued.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why should I send a message to the giant?" Fudge said angrily.

“It is not too late to extend a hand of friendship to giants.

Before Voldemort wooed them, he had done this before, offering them rights and freedom. "

"Are you crazy, Dumbledore?

Giants are cruel by nature. If others know that I have dealings with giants, my career will be over. "

"Fudge, you are too obsessed with power, which makes you lose your due judgment.

Do as I say, take some steps, and the entire wizarding world will look upon you as the greatest Minister of Magic who has ever lived.

But if you don't take action, the wizarding world will remember that you stood by and allowed Voldemort a second chance to destroy the world we worked so hard to build. "

Fudge shook his head and backed away, "This is impossible, this is too crazy, I can't risk my career on the unrealistic words of a child."

"What I said is true." Harry said again, but no one paid attention. They were all attracted by Dumbledore's long sigh.

"Connelly, since you insist on having your own way, we have to part ways.

You do what you see fit, and I do what I will. "

boom! boom! boom!

Just as Fudge was about to speak, there was a knock on the door of the principal's office.

"Professor Dumbledore, Gaius and the others are back." Filch said loudly.

"Let them in."

The oak door opened, and Aaron, Cedric, Viktor, and Fleur entered the principal's office together.

Their faces were all full of exhaustion, and they were no different from those who had fled, only slightly better than Harry.

Abe jumped out directly and threw himself into Aaron's arms with tears in his eyes.

Two white paws rummaged in the pocket for a long time and took out a small bottle of crystal white liquid.

"Farewell, I don't have any external injuries, so I'd better use this thing sparingly!" Aaron said dotingly.

"Your pet... is really special." Fleur looked at Abe with interest, "This is the first time I have seen such a loyal pet."

Abe waved his hand arrogantly, and he was quite pleased with Furong.

"Are these also the tears of the phoenix?" Cedric said with a somewhat unnatural expression.

"Alas!" Aaron sighed, "I was quite merciful at that time, so that's all I did."

Hearing this, Abe's eyes sharpened and he turned to look at Fox.

The Phoenix shivered in fear and retreated to Dumbledore, hissing in aggrievedness.

"Uh...please keep an eye on it." Dumbledore said with a complex expression, "If possible, it's best not to let it enter my office."

"Professor, don't be so stingy!" Aaron said nonchalantly, "As the saying goes...the winner takes all."

Just kidding, he still knows how rare phoenix feathers are.

If Abe is not brought in, there will be no reason for him to pluck out his hair. Is it easy to bully the principal's pet?

But if you bring Abe in, it's just a fight between magical animals. It doesn't hurt to accidentally pluck a few hairs and collect some tears.

Dumbledore rolled his eyes in a rare moment, feeling that he needed to strengthen his protection of Fawkes in the future.

The way Abe looked at it wasn't scary, but it made people get goosebumps.

“Now that you guys have returned safely, can you tell us what happened?

We need to compare it with what Harry Potter said to see if there is anything missing. "Fudge said seriously, he had already regarded the four Aarons as life-saving straws.

As long as what they said didn't match what Harry said, then he would directly define Voldemort's resurrection as completely Harry Potter's imagination and nonsense.

The four of them exchanged glances and nodded imperceptibly.

"I'm so sorry, Minister of Magic.

I fainted and didn't know anything. Krum said with regret.

He is a Bulgarian, an internationally renowned Quidditch star, and the representative of Durmstrang in the Triwizard Tournament. It is most appropriate for him to start this.

"Faint? Fainted?"

"I fainted too." Furong said, trembling. "I didn't know what happened at the time, and suddenly lost consciousness."

Cedric shrugged and said nothing.

"Gaius, what about you?"

"Minister, several of their senior wizards have fainted. Do you think I can still stand still?" Aaron asked.

Fudge raised his eyebrows and continued: "But Harry Potter said that you fought with a large number of Death Eaters and used several different high-level magics to kill a third of them."

"Are you kidding? I'm not that powerful." Aaron said, then looked at Harry pretending to be confused, "Even if you admire me, you wouldn't make up such nonsense!"

Harry was petrified in an instant. When he finally recovered from his daze, he saw Cedric, Krum and Fleur constantly winking at him.

He seemed to understand something now, and swallowed the words as they reached his lips.

Aaron must have made some kind of agreement with the three of them so that they couldn't tell anyone what they saw.

But in this case, the truth he told is just one side of the story, and maybe except for a few people, no one else will believe it.

"You..." Harry opened his mouth hesitantly, "You should know how serious this matter is, and you can't pretend you don't know anything!"

The three of them looked at each other, maybe you don't know the value of saving your life.

Besides, they were only hiding the part about Aaron's battle with the Death Eaters. Aaron didn't let them hide the most important part about the Dark Lord's resurrection.

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

Fudge clapped his hands excitedly and smiled happily: "I just said that Harry Potter saw a hallucination, and he made it up really well.

The resurrection of the mysterious man is completely impossible! "

"He is really resurrected." Krum said suddenly.

Fudge almost couldn't catch his breath, "Victor, you...didn't you say you fainted?"

"He fainted after the mysterious man was resurrected. His magic power was too powerful."

"So are we." Cedric and Fleur said in unison.

The corner of Fudge's mouth twitched violently, and he moved his eyes to Aaron with difficulty, and asked almost pleadingly: "Mr. Gaius, didn't you also see the mysterious man's resurrection?"

"No." Aaron pretended to be frightened and smiled awkwardly, "I was knocked unconscious by a magic spell just after I landed.

After waking up, I appeared outside Hogsmeade for no apparent reason. If Cedric and the others hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that the mysterious man had been resurrected. It was really scary. "

Fudge was speechless, Harry looked confused, and the others were tacitly understanding.

Aaron took himself out perfectly, and Voldemort was indeed resurrected, but his subsequent battle with the Death Eaters was all Harry's fantasy, or dream.

How they escaped later is unknown.

But if you want a reason, you can make it up at will. For example, some unknown strong man saved them from Voldemort.

But the problem is that you know the truth, but you can only follow the script arranged by Aaron. After all, three of the five witnesses are on his side.

"As expected of you." Adrian couldn't help laughing, and then gave a thumbs up, "You haven't changed after so many years, and you always like to put yourself out of things."

"Sister, I don't even know what you are talking about." Aaron scratched his head and pretended to be confused, making the others smack their tongues secretly.

"Forget it, Genes will give me the records anyway."

Aaron: ...

A generous gift crab! Forget about this.

But it doesn't matter, even if there is no record of Adrian asking, Genes can only answer truthfully.

"It's impossible." Fudge still didn't want to believe it. "Do you have any evidence? No, right? That doesn't prove that the mysterious man was resurrected."

"These are five..." Fudge paused and changed his words: "No, it was a prank by four students. Mr. Gaius fainted and he didn't know anything."

As the Minister of Magic, he could yell at most wizards, but he knew those people couldn't offend him.

Fortunately, Gaius hinted that he would not participate in the testimony by being completely comatose, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do.

At this time, Snape strode forward and rolled up his left sleeve.

He stretched out his arm and gave Fudge a look. Fudge's face turned pale and he took a few steps back in horror.
