Chapter 6 Reactions from all parties

"The entire Ministry of Magic knows this is impossible. Of course, I'm not surprised that the Minister thinks so." Janus has served Fudge for many years and knows the Minister's thoughts clearly: The Minister wants to pass the blame, but he doesn't know that this is more dangerous.

"Percy, everyone knows that Azkaban is a cesspool. During the war, countless wronged wizards were thrown in. But just because someone smells the stench, you can't just lift the lid and make everyone feel sick."

"It's good now. That woman Rita stood on the moral high ground and dropped a bomb from a distance. We were busy washing away the dirt on our bodies, but she actually gained praise from the entire magical world."

"We can attribute the death of the mysterious man to Principal Dumbledore and the Savior. But don't forget that Millicent took on the responsibility of the minister when the wizarding world was about to perish. He retired early just for his own perfect achievements. And honour," Janus swore, warning Percy not to involve the previous minister.

"Percy, you have to remember that former Minister Millicent will not get involved."

"But there's no need for the Minister to lie to us!" Percy muttered slightly desperately, realizing that Minister Fudge couldn't escape.

"There's nothing to lose, at least for now. Have you read the file?" Janus flipped through the file, frowning deeper and deeper.

"Look at this page." Janus pulled out the file, which contained the dispatch report of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters on July 1, 1980.

"Winchester is suspected of being attacked by a Soviet nuclear bomb..." Percy muttered softly, and the memories of the past slowly came to life.

"Theodore's Lumos!"

"It's him, the father of the child. The report shows that Theodore illuminated the entire Winchester with fluorescent flashes in order to cover Jessica and the child's escape."

Janus smacked his mouth and sighed: "I never thought that someone could be so proficient in basic spells. Theodore is also a genius in some aspects. Unfortunately, his opponent is not an ordinary Auror, but the jealous old Ba TI. Look here, this battle had a major impact on the Muggle world."

At that time, the Muggle world was at the peak of the Cold War, and the white light that enveloped the entire Winchester could be seen from satellites. Muggles thought that Britain had been attacked by a nuclear bomb and that the whole of Europe was in panic of nuclear war.

If the then Director and current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, had not personally taken action and traveled to many parties to eliminate the impact of this incident, perhaps the Muggle war would have started again.

"After investigation, everything in Winchester was normal and there was no trace of radiation. Professors from Oxford and Cambridge claimed that the bright white light that appeared on July 1 was an extremely rare natural phenomenon...Reports from BBC and ITV."

"Then it's none of our business!" Percy remembered. She was also participating in extensive amnesia work at the time.

"What would Rita say when she saw this file?"

"She will shout in the newspaper: Fudge used an innocent baby to tiptoe and sit on the minister's seat... If the former minister Millicent is involved, I dare to assert that this report will appear in front of Rita the next moment..." Janus He held his throat and imitated a woman's voice.

"Old Batty is here..."

The fireplace in the hall flashed green light, and a tall and thin man stood inside. Barty Sr. lost the chance to become a minister because his son was a Death Eater. He was transferred to the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation. Although he still held the title of director, everyone knew that this was a rise and fall. Everyone quickly made way for him, fearing that the stinking-faced old Batty would get in their way.

"Percy, if Principal Dumbledore comes, take him to his office directly." Janus quickly followed Old Barty and walked into the minister's office, which was smashed into a garbage dump.

"Dolores, Jason, Albert, and Kiddley stay." Seeing Old Barty arriving, Fudge waved his hand to let the others out. Except for Old Batty, the remaining four people are core personnel in the minister's office and are loyal to the minister himself.

"Old Barty, I order you to take responsibility for this matter in your own name!" Minister Fudge slammed the table, wanting to tear up the Daily Prophet in front of him.

"Who do you think you are? A member of the Order of the Phoenix? In order to avenge the McKinnon family, you acted privately to avenge the Travis family! Oh, bypassing the trial and throwing them into Azkaban! There was even a baby !” Secretary Fudge pointed his fat index finger at Old Barty’s aquiline nose, wanting to poke it into pieces.

"The Law Enforcement Division and the Wizengamot have been lying to me. Everyone is lying! They are deceiving me! Even the Minister's Office is deceiving me!"

"Our Aurors are a bunch of despicable cowards who kill mothers and children alike."

"Minister Fudge, I cannot tolerate your insulting the Aurors of the Law Enforcement Department." Old Barty retorted Fudge unceremoniously. The baby was obviously dead at the time.

"Ha! I forgot that you are the famous Barty Crouch, our upright former director of the Department of Law Enforcement. Why, wasn't it you who launched the Imperius Curse on innocent babies? It wasn't you who cast them into prison without trial? Into Azkaban?

You keep saying that you want to end the Wizarding War as soon as possible and let Aurors use dark magic to deal with You-Know-Who and Death Eaters. As for you, you end up using black magic against babies. You are a disgrace to the Ministry of Magic and a disgrace to the Aurors! "

"Fudge, you have no right to say this!" Old Barty retorted unceremoniously. The two leaned toward each other, almost touching their faces.

"I'm not qualified? Barty, you claim to be the most upright wizard, what's the difference between what you did and the mysterious man? Is it just that you didn't leave a lightning scar on the child's forehead?"

Faced with Fudge's questioning, Barty was speechless. Fudge was still roaring, and the whispered spell on the door could not withstand the minister's anger. The entire corridor echoed with Fudge's anger.

Percy stood by the fireplace, worried and at a loss. When he saw Principal Dumbledore arriving, he quickly walked over: "Principal Dumbledore..."

"I know everything." Dumbledore waved his hand and walked towards the room full of anger.

There was greater noise from the fireplace behind him, and a group of people headed by Lucius Malfoy arrived at the Ministry of Magic. They are representatives of pure-blood families, and they want to take advantage of this matter to get back the benefits they lost in the war.

"Principal Dumbledore, thank you for the owl, otherwise we wouldn't know there are descendants of the Travis family." Lucius smiled, and his gratitude was sincere.

"That is a brave child who deserves the respect of all of us." Dumbledore said calmly, "I believe that what really matters is not blood, but character. Everyone here today, I think... is all for kindness. and justice.”

Malfoy opened his mouth and seemed a bit dumbfounded by Dumbledore's statement.

"For kindness and justice, what you said is so good, principal. The children of the Travis family are worthy of the name of pure blood, and they survived so bravely even in Azkaban." Lucius sneered, "Dumbledore Principal Lido needs to prepare early, I have received some news that Ilvermorny in the United States and Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France have sent invitations to Mr. Rogge."

"Really? That's really great news." Dumbledore said happily. "No matter which school Roger chooses, I am sincerely happy for him. A kind-hearted child deserves the best education. I I believe that no matter where he is, he will become an outstanding wizard. Not because of his bloodline, but because of his character."

Malfoy's face darkened. He originally wanted to use this news to make Dumbledore nervous, but he didn't expect that Dumbledore was calmer than he thought.

With a sullen face, he praised in a low voice: "The principal is indeed generous, but some people on the school board think that Hogwarts should not give up a pure-blood descendant so easily. If Rogge chooses another school, the board of directors has reason to believe that Hogwarts There is something wrong with Ci’s teaching philosophy.”

"Of course, we all know that Hogwarts is the best magic school. As long as you pay a little attention, Roger will definitely choose Hogwarts. At this point, most wizards in the British wizarding world have the same view. "Malfoy stared at Dumbledore, hoping to catch any change on his face.
