Chapter 451 A woman’s kindness

Everything Fudge did tonight was due to his misunderstanding and prejudice against Dumbledore.

Fudge's fascination with power made him always put himself in the position of a victim, treating everything Dumbledore said and did as harm to him.

With the constant gossip from the public and the acquittal of Sirius, the misunderstanding and prejudice in Fudge's heart have deepened day by day, making Fudge, an official fan, no longer believe anything Dumbledore says or does.

Fudge stubbornly believed that Dumbledore wanted to take his position and replace him as the most influential figure in British wizarding circles. This is the stupidest thing about Fudge. He always looks at Dumbledore with the eyes of a politician.

Even though he heard about Barty Jr. and Foley's attack from Professor Moody, and saw the fire in Little Hangleton with his own eyes, he still didn't want to believe Dumbledore's judgment or the facts from Sirius's mouth.

In Fudge's view, the frequent occurrence of strange things this year can only be related to the two Azkaban prisoners, Barty Jr. and Foley. They used the name of the mysterious man to create panic in order to achieve their unknown purpose.

Dumbledore is using this matter to make a fuss, create panic, make him and Harry Potter important again, gain public support and support, and regain dominance and voice.

If you don’t believe it, just look at the people here tonight!

Sirius Black, Harry Potter's godfather, was Dumbledore's student. Potter becomes the savior, and as the savior, Godfather Blake will also benefit countless times, with hundreds of benefits and no harm.

Esmeralda Twisted Fate, she is Dumbledore's most trusted student, almost no one in the British wizarding world does not know about this. From the moment she entered school, Dumbledore had cared for and protected her in every possible way. It looked like he was grooming a successor?

Everyone present was Dumbledore's close confidants and trusted people, except Fudge himself. Fudge believed that these people were teaming up to deceive him, just like Dumbledore never mentioned that Potter was a Parseltongue and behaved strangely.

It was these prejudices, misunderstandings and subjective assumptions that made Fudge full of distrust and even hostility towards everyone present. That's why Fudge was so angry and unscrupulous that he turned a blind eye to what happened to Ada tonight and cursed her for not dying.

Fudge's quick talk made him feel much better, but it also resulted in the current confrontation and tense situation between the two sides, making it difficult to get off the horse.

On the other side, Vida Rozier is not an impulsive person, and her attack on Fudge was not a momentary recklessness. She has her own considerations.

Fudge's words did not make Vader feel any more angry. The Minister of Magic could only vent his anger sadly by saying angry words, which is enough to show how failed Fudge's life was.

In the magical world, big fists are the last word. Ultimately, Fudge's inner demon is that his strength cannot support his ambitions. He sits in the position of minister with trepidation every day, for fear that someone will overthrow him.

Such a weak Fudge was not enough to make Vader angry, especially in front of so many people. Vader's threat tonight sounded like a threat to Fudge, but in fact it was something she did deliberately to show Dumbledore.

Vader had no objection to Ada following Dumbledore and becoming an enemy of Voldemort. From Vader's point of view, there is nothing wrong with this choice. Didn't she herself follow Grindelwald and become the enemy of the world? This is nothing.

What really worried Vader was not Voldemort, but Dumbledore.

Vader was worried that Ada was young and had little knowledge, and that she would unknowingly fall into Dumbledore's trap and would be willing to die for Dumbledore and Harry Potter one day.

In a war, everyone is likely to die and must be aware of death, but no one wants the person who dies to be themselves or those closest to them.

The same is true for Vader. Everyone can die in this upcoming war, including herself, except Ada.

Vader didn't know whether Dumbledore was really cultivating Ada as his successor, or whether he was just treating Ada as a handy tool, a sharp knife that could help Potter overcome obstacles.

Training a successor requires a lot of effort and cannot be discarded casually, but the situation is different with a quick knife. When the knife becomes no longer handy and sharp, the person holding the knife can discard it at any time and sacrifice her for higher interests.

This was something Vida couldn't tolerate, and this was the purpose of her attack on Fudge tonight. Vader needs to confirm Ada's status in Dumbledore's eyes and confirm whether Ada is the one who can be sacrificed at will.

The evening breeze was gentle, but not gentle. The air was filled with an unpleasant burnt smell that was nauseating. The two sides were still confronting each other, but no one took the initiative.

The Aurors surrounded Fudge for protection, but they did not choose to take action. One is that they don’t want to take the blame, they are waiting for Fudge to give orders personally; the other is that they don’t want to die, wouldn’t it be nice to get paid while alive?

"Dumbledore!" Fudge started his roar again, "What do you want to do!"

Fudge pushed away the Auror who was blocking him, and continued to yell: "I'm standing here. If you want to be the minister, you come and get it. There is no need to engage in these crooked ways!"

In Connery Fudge's subjective world, he is the Minister of Magic! Vader Rozier actually dared to attack him, and even dared to threaten him. He knew with all his strength that it was Dumbledore who had given him instructions, and Dumbledore was backing him up.

The minister's fierce speech made everyone's eyes drop to the floor.

The Aurors looked at the minister in disbelief, wondering what he was thinking. Didn't this directly push Dumbledore to the opposite side? Is this because you think you can't die fast enough, so you are putting more pressure on yourself?

Ada was also shocked. She was ready to start filming, but Fudge said this! Cornelius Fudge is really worthy of his last name, he is soft and stupid.

"This is just a grandmother's love for her granddaughter. It's nothing, Cornelius." Dumbledore said, making the big thing a small matter.

Dumbledore wanted to unite more forces to resist the return of Voldemort. He did not want to see unnecessary deaths tonight and let these Aurors die in vain from internal friction.

The big picture, Dumbledore was thinking about the big picture, not Cornelius Fudge's personal thoughts. Dumbledore was very disappointed with Fudge's performance, but the Minister of Magic can be replaced, but he cannot die in office, let alone by his hands.

Perhaps Fudge understood this, so he dared to provoke Dumbledore frequently and treated the headmaster of Hogwarts as nothing.

Fudge wanted to say something else, but before he could continue speaking, an Auror behind him said one step ahead of him: "Minister, I think there are some things we can discuss in the long term, and there is no need to rush into it. The most important thing for us at the moment is to figure it out. The truth about Barty Crouch Jr. and Benedick Foley to prevent them from causing trouble. These two are the most dangerous."

The speaker has a deep and slow voice, which seems to have the magic power to calm people. He is tall, bald, dark-skinned, and wearing a set of dark robes.

The night was dark, and Kingsley Shacklebolt's appearance and attire made him look a little unremarkable on such a night.

If it were anyone else, this sentence probably wouldn't attract Fudge's attention, but Kingsley was different. Fudge could listen to his words a little bit. The Shacklebolt family is an ancient pure-blood family, and Kingsley is also a very capable person.

Fudge's subjective conjecture derailed tonight's events from the conspiracy of Barty Crouch Jr. and Foley to Dumbledore's evil intentions against the Ministry of Magic, or rather against Fudge alone.

Kingsley's words just put tonight's events back on track. He was reminding Fudge what was most important at the moment, and the fight for power could be put aside for now.

Vader glanced at Dumbledore with slight disappointment. Taking the overall situation into consideration, Vida thinks this is the benevolence of a woman.
