Chapter 556: Four Strong Tournament? Grindelwald! What The Hell Are You...

Rodolphus, who was relaxing in Azkaban, only had a few days of leisure before he fell from heaven to hell again...

Because I don’t know why, those dementors who have been gone for a long time are back!

Fudge, who had always been worried about the defense of Azkaban without Dementors, accepted these Dementors again without much thought.

In his opinion, the last rebellion of these dementors was caused by someone deliberately, and it was these dementors who wanted to rebel.

Therefore, as long as the safety measures are strengthened, these dementors will still be useful! They are the best candidates to serve as jailers!

At this time, those prisoners who had been comfortable in Azkaban for a while were plunged into purgatory again.

In this regard, there is almost no opposition from the outside world.

After all, there is no death penalty in the wizarding world. It is generally believed that these heinous prisoners should stay in Azkaban and be tortured by these monsters for the rest of their lives to pay the price for their sins. Otherwise, it is not as good as using everyone's money. What difference does it make to provide them with old age care?!

Fudge learned the lesson this time and spent some money to ask Grindelwald to personally take action to strengthen the protective measures in Azkaban. This way, the dementors should not be so easy to riot.

Originally, Grindelwald planned to refuse. After all, although he was very good at black magic, he didn't know much about dark creatures like dementors.

However, Blake contacted Grindelwald directly and told him not to refuse. Then he used an owl to send an alchemy item to Grindelwald.

Blake also claimed in the attachment that this alchemical item could protect against dementor riots.

Out of trust in Blake, Grindelwald accepted Fudge's request, and then placed the alchemy tool "directly in the habitat of the dementors in Azkaban..."

When putting the dementors back, Blake asked the house elves lurking in the Ministry of Magic to keep an eye on Fudge's movements.

Therefore, the information that he was planning to request Grindelwald to take action was promptly learned.

These dementors have all been transformed and subdued by Blake. They are completely different from the previous ones and are impossible to riot.

Therefore, Grindelwald only needs to pretend to arrange things in Azkaban. Even if he completes the task, the benefits Fudge gave Grindelwald are equivalent to getting them in vain.

As for the alchemy prop, it is actually a hidden teleportation point and alarm.

Even if Voldemort doesn't come to save his men, once Azkaban is attacked, Leike will get the news as soon as possible!

Then he rushed over as the leader of the fourth natural disaster! When the time came, he wanted Tom to see why the flowers were so red!

After the riot occurred, the Net Master world was lively for a while.

Especially when people discovered that most of the arrested wizards were former Death Eaters, it inevitably aroused some speculation.

However, Fudge found a way to stop this kind of public opinion before it arose.

After Fudge finally controlled public opinion, he understood that it was time to divert people's attention...

As for how to divert people's attention from this matter?

There happens to be such a thing right now... The ministry is currently discussing whether to restart this matter.

Without much thought, Fudge immediately made up his mind, restart! Must restart! Otherwise, how will the public's attention be diverted?

So, Dumbledore had only been free at home for a few days when he received a letter from Fudge for the first time in a long time...

The meaning of the letter is very simple, that is, Fudge said that he needs to discuss something with Dumbledore, and hopes that he can come to the Ministry of Magic to discuss it with him.

Dumbledore didn't say anything else, and didn't care about Fudge's previous distrust of him. He went directly to the Ministry of Magic after reading the letter.

By the time Dumbledore arrived at Fudge's office, Grindelwald had already arrived.

Fudge was talking to Grindelwald with a somewhat flattering smile.

Dumbledore remembered that Fudge had the same expression when he was talking to him.

But now it's completely different. Everyone can see that Dumbledore's status has now been replaced by Grindelwald.

As a backer, compared to Dumbledore's inflexibility, Grindelwald is indeed more suitable for an ambitious power slave like Fudge.

"Oh... Albus, you're here. Please sit down. What would you like to drink?" The flattering smile on Fudge's face disappeared.

"Just have a cup of tea." Dumbledore glanced at Grindelwald and sat on the chair farthest away from him with some disgust.

Grindelwald just drank his coffee calmly, not paying attention to Dumbledore's actions at all.

After the Ministry of Magic staff brought a cup of tea, Fudge went straight to the point.

"We plan to restart the Four-Wizard Tournament this year. As the first year of the restart of the event, we have decided to host the event at Hogwarts...

"Wait!" Dumbledore interrupted Fudge, "Isn't it the Triwizard Tournament? How can it be the top four..."

Dumbledore suddenly stopped talking.

Grindelwald is here! And he also opened a magic academy! How could he not intervene in something like the Triwizard Tournament?!

Once you achieve good results in such an event, it can directly affect the enrollment! Just like the various competitions held by Muggle schools...

This kind of thing is the same whether it is a school in the Muggle world or a magic academy in the wizarding world!

Fudge had already anticipated Dumbledore's reaction. He calmly explained: "Because Professor Grindelwald also wants to participate... and Nurmengard Academy of Magic is located in Austria and is also a European magic academy, so. .....It is reasonable for them to participate.”

"Alas..." Dumbledore sighed. He knew that since Fudge had made his decision, he could not oppose it.

After all, Hogwarts will also be criticized by the Ministry of Justice to some extent.

If Grindelwald really wanted to improve the school and no longer wanted to do big things, Dumbledore wouldn't mind having another school participate.

"You have already discussed it. As the principal of the school where the event is held, I am the last to know." Dumbledore said with a frown.

"Ahem, sorry, Albus, because we have to add another school and the Ministry of Magic also has some work to do, so I informed you relatively late." Fudge explained.

Dumbledore looked a little unhappy, and Fudge said that it was to inform him, not the so-called consultation mentioned in his letter.

Even people like Dumbledore felt dissatisfaction and anger in their hearts.

"Now that you have decided, just write me a letter to inform me. I am still very busy, Mr. Minister. Then, I will leave first." Dumbledore stood up and walked towards the door.

"Ah? Albus... Wait, we haven't discussed the details of the competition yet." Fudge said quickly.

"No, my opinion is irrelevant. Once you have discussed it, just 'inform' me directly." Dumbledore paused at the word "discuss" and left the Ministry of Magic without looking back.

During this time, he didn't even look at Grindelwald.

"Uh... Professor Grindelwald, then... let's discuss it?" Fudge said hesitantly.

In fact, although he did have problems with Dumbledore, he never thought about ostracizing him.

After all, the home court of the Four-wizard Tournament was placed at Hogwarts. How could it be arranged without the participation of the principal of Hogwarts, Dumbledore?

It's not like Fudge didn't think about moving his home court to Nurmengard, but considering Grindelwald's poor reputation and the impact of the event.

The event should still be held in the UK.

Only in this way can the influence of the British wizarding world in the world be maximized, and the attention of people at home can be better diverted.

"Cornelly, you really shouldn't treat Dumbledore like this." Grindelwald said, "Anyone else would be angry."

"Ah?" Fudge was stunned. What's going on? Grindelwald actually spoke for Dumbledore?

The sun comes out in the west?

Aren't they both always at odds with each other now?

As if he had seen through Fudge's thoughts, Grindelwald said: "I'm just talking about the matter, Cornelius. Although he and I do have a lot of disagreements, it cannot be denied that Dumbledore's ability is beyond doubt. To successfully run this competition , you can’t count him out.”

"Okay...Okay...I'll go find him right now!" Fudge wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and walked towards the door of the office.

Regarding Grindelwald... Fudge was still quite scared. After all, he knew better than anyone else that this was not a good person. Therefore, he would never dare to offend this big boss.

"Forget it, Connelly, he won't come back today. You can go find him tomorrow... I know him. He has always been a person who puts the overall situation first and will not suffer a little. If you feel wronged, just let it go," Grindelwald said calmly.

Grindelwald knew Dumbledore too well. Since he was involved, how could Dumbledore feel free to let him plan as he pleased?

He must keep an eye on him! Therefore, as long as Fudge personally comes to invite him again and gives Dumbledore a small step, he will naturally participate again

You must even be the one who is more active than anyone else! Only in that way can you eliminate the possibility of yourself making small moves. Dumbledore was angry today, not with Fudge, but with himself...

Haha, old fool......

Blake was still teaching Rebecca a transformation spell, and then saw Dumbledore return.

If he remembered correctly, the old man had only been away for less than thirty minutes, right?

"You're back so soon? Didn't you say that the Ministry of Magic has something to discuss with you?"

When Dumbledore went out, Blake guessed whether they were discussing the Triwizard Tournament.

But I didn't expect that Dumbledore would come back so soon...

"They have already decided. Why do I need to discuss it? I might as well rest at home for a few days and spend this holiday."

Dumbledore put down the wizard's hat and lay comfortably on the massage lounger Blake had built for him.

Seeing Dumbledore closing his eyes comfortably, Blake's mind was filled with questions. Did the old man ring? Did someone offend him?

"So.........Is Professor Grindelwald also there?" Blake asked directly.

The only person who could make Dumbledore so emotional was an old bastard.

"Don't mention this name. I've been bothered by this name for more than ten years. It took several decades to be clean..." Dumbledore's voice gradually trailed off.

When Blake wanted to listen again, he heard a gentle snore...

No! You were eating melon with great enthusiasm, why did you fall asleep?

Blake almost regretted making the massage chair too comfortable. 263 While feeling annoyed, he lay down on another reclining chair, and then... fell asleep too...

Rebecca looked at Blake in surprise as he fell asleep at the speed of light.

Did this guy forget that he was teaching himself a spell just now? Did he... just fall asleep?

Rebecca closed her notebook helplessly, looking for a blanket

I gave the old man and the young man a cover.

Then she discovered that Nagini, who was still busy in the kitchen, had walked out of nowhere and finished all these...

After Nagini finished doing this, she looked at Rebecca and smiled, "I'll teach you the transformation spell that Blake hasn't finished yet."

Rebecca blinked, "Sister Nagini, you dote on him too much...you do everything for him."

"Because he is my family." Nagini smiled.

"ɅB..."

"Four-wizard tournament......"

The next day, when he heard the news from Fudge, who came to apologize, Blake felt that he couldn't hold it any longer.

No wonder Dumbledore looked like that when he came back from the Ministry of Magic yesterday.

He could all imagine the scene when Dumbledore met Grindelwald at the Ministry of Magic...

However, since the Triwizard Tournament in the original book has become the Four Wizard Tournament, then the plot that I am familiar with has completely gone astray.

In other words, the new school year will be full of unknowns.

After Blake returned to the room, he took a moment to figure out that Moody, who was expected to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the original book, was not here.

Because this teaching position is still held by Lupine.

If Voldemort wanted to kidnap Harry, Siping would have to find other ways.

Of course, it might also be the original method, but the professor being replaced was changed from Moody to Lupin?

Why don't you test Professor Lupin after the semester starts to see if he has been replaced?

After all, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is always going to suffer... Lupine didn't suffer last year, and I don't know if it will happen this year.

Blake is still thinking about how to prevent it in the new school year.

Suddenly, an owl flew in from the window.

Ever since he launched the magic address book, owls rarely appeared at his window.

Blake took the letter down.

As soon as he opened it, a smile appeared on Blake's face.

Because this letter was sent by Dracula, who had been missing for many days.

Obviously, after the other party was killed by me again, he has not recovered until now...

"Oh? You actually want to ask me to meet?"

Blake pondered for a while, then picked up the pen and wrote on the back of Changmin.

"Okay, just follow the time and address you mentioned."
