#227 - Chapter 227 Whatever the problem, just ask

Help?

Easy, easy!

Since Sebastian has spoken, I must help him no matter what.

This is called reciprocity.

Fudge took a sip of tea and said to Sebastian with a smile, "Don't be polite, Sebastian, feel free to tell me any difficulties you have."

"Actually, it's not a big deal," Sebastian replied, "I want the Ministry of Magic to allocate the open space east of Hogsmeade Village to Swan Alchemy."

That's it?

Fudge wondered, "The open space outside Hogsmeade Village is all unclaimed. If you want it, just take it. No one will care."

"Why do you need the Ministry of Magic to come forward?"

"I plan to expand Hogsmeade Village a bit, so the open space I want is a little bit bigger."

Meeting Fudge's gaze, Sebastian said calmly, "With the Ministry of Magic coming forward, many disputes can be avoided in the future."

"I wonder if the Minister is willing to help with this?"

Hearing this explanation, Fudge nodded slightly.

So, he wants to develop Hogsmeade.

Sebastian would actually take the initiative to let the Ministry of Magic come forward. This feeling of being respected is really great.

This kind of trivial matter is simply ignored in the Ministry of Magic.

I can handle it by simply issuing a document in the name of the Minister of Magic.

Simple!

It seems that it won't be long before Hogsmeade will undergo a big change.

If I come forward, I will definitely get a share of the credit for developing Hogsmeade.

Thinking of this, Fudge puffed out his chest and said boldly.

"You, Sebastian, have helped me so much. It would be too unreasonable if I didn't agree to this little thing."

"I'll make the decision. You can have as much land as you want. I'll mail the document to you later. Just wait for good news from the owl."

"The Minister is generous," Sebastian complimented, "Since that's the case, I must return the favor."

"If this matter can be settled, I am willing to donate 20,000 Galleons to the Ministry of Magic."

"In addition, after the development of Hogsmeade is completed, I am willing to set aside a building separately and give it to the Ministry of Magic as a branch of the Auror Office."

"Let a few Aurors be on duty here usually, which can not only maintain order but also deter the fugitive Black."

"What do you think, Minister?"

Unclaimed land in exchange for 20,000 Galleons?

This cost-free business is too worthwhile!

There is also a separate building as a branch of the Auror Office, used to deter Black.

Such great merit is directly hitting my head.

Putting aside other things, the head of the Auror Office, Scrimgeour, and many parents of students will remember my kindness.

Sebastian's work makes people comfortable.

Fudge waved his hands repeatedly, saying with a righteous face, "Oh... saying this is just being polite. What Galleons or not."

"Developing Hogsmeade is a good thing that benefits the entire wizarding world."

"As the Minister of Magic, I will of course fully support this project."

"By the way, Sebastian, speaking of Black, I have another matter that I need your help with."

"We all know that Black is going after Harry Potter, so he will definitely appear around Hogwarts."

"Therefore, I will also meet with Dumbledore later, wanting him to agree to let Dementors station at Hogwarts to protect the safety of the students."

"Can you come with me?"

Hearing this, Sebastian looked at Fudge speechlessly.

Didn't you already agree to set up a branch of the Auror Office and let the Aurors station in Hogsmeade?

Why are you still thinking about letting Dementors station at Hogwarts?

As the Minister of Magic, don't you understand what Dementors are like?

If something goes wrong, the parents of the students won't care whether you are the Minister or not, they will definitely scold you to death.

No, you won't even have to wait for something to go wrong.

As soon as the news that Dementors are stationed at Hogwarts comes out, you, Fudge, can wait to be drowned in Howlers.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the conversation was still pleasant, Sebastian decided to dissuade him slightly.

"Letting Dementors guard Hogwarts is really not a good idea."

"Dementors bring not only fear, they devour people's happiness and hope. To Dementors, the young wizards of Hogwarts are delicious cakes."

"Dementors don't have much reason. If they hurt the young wizards, that's no small matter."

"Minister, don't forget that we have Quidditch matches with Beauxbatons and Durmstrang every year."

"If they know that there are Dementors around Hogwarts, I'm worried that they will refuse to come to Hogwarts for the matches because of safety concerns."

"At that time, our international image won't be very good."

"Minister," Sebastian said earnestly, "Don't be overly afraid of Black."

"Hogwarts has Dumbledore, has professors, we have enough power to protect the students."

Hearing Sebastian's persuasion, Fudge stood up, pacing back and forth with a frown, his face full of entanglement and hesitation.

"Sebastian, I know this may not be popular, but the stationing of Dementors is necessary!" Fudge finally spoke, his tone with a hint of urgency and helplessness.

"The professors can't always be vigilant, but Dementors can work tirelessly, making people feel more at ease with them guarding Hogwarts."

"Black is elusive, I'm worried that he will sneak into Hogwarts through some unknown secret passages."

"The safety of the Savior is of great importance. If he is harmed by Black, I, the Minister of Magic, can't bear the responsibility."

"As for the other two magic schools, I will send someone to communicate with them."

Fudge stopped, turning to look at Sebastian firmly.

"Sebastian, for the sake of our friendship, please come with me to persuade Dumbledore."

Damn it!

It was a waste of breath.

Fudge has tasted the taste of power in the past two years and has begun to ignore advice and act arbitrarily.

Now he wants to show the authority of the Ministry of Magic in front of Dumbledore.

He doesn't even think about what kind of person Dumbledore is. How could he agree to let Dementors station at Hogwarts?

Sebastian shook his head almost imperceptibly.

Forget it, forget it, good words are hard to persuade a doomed ghost.

This guy won't give up until he is scolded by Dumbledore.

However, Fudge is a bit cunning. He didn't bring up this request when he came.

Instead, he waited until everyone was chatting happily and wanted to pull himself together to share the pressure.

I just talked about a few businesses, and now it's not easy to refuse Fudge's request.

It doesn't matter, I'll be a transparent person first, and then act according to the situation.

"I understand..." Sebastian sighed softly and stood up.

"For the sake of your face, Minister, I will accompany you to Hogwarts."
