Chapter 481 Voldemort is back

Fudge unconsciously twisted his neck. In front of him, Umbridge was confronting Professor McGonagall.

The two of them had been looking at each other for a long time, neither of them showing any intention of backing down.

Professor McGonagall's chest was rising and falling violently, and her eyes were getting colder, while Umbridge's expression was joyful, and she was frantically testing on the edge of danger.

"I wonder where Principal Dumbledore is now?" Umbridge continued to stir up Professor McGonagall's nerves. "Did he fight a mysterious man in his dream? Maybe we will hear about an old madman tomorrow morning. Tell all wizards that Voldemort is back!"

Fudge lowered his head. Voldemort was indeed back, but... he really didn't plan to tell anyone else.

Professor McGonagall angrily interrupted Umbridge's baseless accusation, "Don't slander Principal Dumbledore, he is a respectable wizard! He is the chief wizard of the Wizengamot! And even more so Hogwarts." Headmaster! Stop your meaningless speech, Umbridge!"

"That was just before." Umbridge lowered her head and fiddled with the brooch on her chest, "I don't mean to offend, but Dumbledore is old. Professor McGonagall, the current leader of wizards should be Minister Fudge."

She said it as a matter of course, as if everyone should respect Fudge as much as they respected Dumbledore.

Fudge, who had his head lowered, was shocked when he heard Umbridge's words. Am I such a great person?

Immediately, he puffed up his chest, yes, I am the greatest wizard at the end of this century and the beginning of the next!

The Aurors had different expressions.

Those who need to live under Fudge naturally show a flattering expression, while those whose family backgrounds are prominent and do not need Fudge's support show disdain.

Just because you want to be compared to Dumbledore?

ignorance!

"Why are the Malfoys here?" Professor Sprout suddenly said, "I remember that they seem to be causing trouble in Hogwarts recently. Can you explain, as the neutral Minister of Magic, why? Come to Hogwarts with the head of the Malfoy family? Or come here at night when everyone is resting?"

Umbridge's mind was a little stuck. As a rhythm controller, she would usually find a way to change the subject when faced with such a question that she couldn't answer, but at this time, Fudge spoke.

"That's right, I think Mr. Lucius Malfoy and Mr. Rubeus Hagrid have some misunderstandings, so." Fudge twisted his neck, "I'm here to mediate."

Professor Sprout nodded and pointed to another person on the ground, "Then, why is this lying newspaper reporter here?"

Fudge hesitated for a long time before saying, "Well, I think that after the two of them shake hands and make peace, we can publish a special report..."

Professor Sprout stared at him, as if asking, do you think I'm stupid?

"That is to say." Professor Flitwick concluded, "You are not only catching Death Eaters tonight, but you are also here to ease the tension between the two wizards?"

Fudge opened his mouth, feeling that he had no place to refute.

Professor Lupine said in a gentle tone, "You are really busy, Minister Fudge."

Professor Snape had an expressionless face and said nothing, staring directly at Fudge, making him feel like he was being stared at by a snake.

Fudge couldn't help but shuddered again.

Well, how terrible!

Just then, Principal Dumbledore appeared.

The professors and Aurors put away their wands and bowed their heads slightly to show respect to him. Seeing this, Fudge's nose almost became angry.

I have been standing here for a long time and you have no intention of stopping. As soon as Dumbledore comes, you stop fighting. I think you look down on me, Fudge!

But he didn't dare to lose his temper. His life still needed the protection of these men, so he could only smile and said, "Albus, good evening! I think there is some misunderstanding between us..."

"There is no misunderstanding, Cornelius." Dumbledore's expression was very serious. Instead of the gentle look before, he carried a strong aura, which immediately made everyone's hearts tremble and they couldn't think of any resistance. " You brought Voldemort to my school late at night and let him hurt my students. I hope the Ministry of Magic can give me an explanation!"

Umbridge forced a smile, as if she wanted to speak to blur the matter out, but Dumbledore turned to look at her, and with just one glance, Umbridge's brain froze.

If you dare to interrupt him, you will die!

Umbridge saw the warning in that glance, and she quickly lowered her head, her whole body couldn't help trembling. Compared with her own life, hugging Fudge's thigh was nothing.

Fudge subconsciously defended, "I, I didn't know that was the mysterious man! That snake was given to me by Lucius! He said it was a pet snake!"

However, he realized something was wrong as soon as he shouted. The Aurors all showed shocked expressions, drew out their wands, and stood on guard around them.

"Mysterious man! Mr. Minister was kidnapped by a mysterious man?"

"Merlin! Why! Isn't the mysterious man dead?"

"Idiot! He just disappeared! Don't you know that Dumbledore has been looking for his whereabouts all these years?!"

For a while, the Aurors were busy. Some were collecting traces left at the scene, and some looked panicked, always on guard against the big devil who had brought endless fear to them and their ancestors.

Fudge opened his mouth and almost slapped himself.

Why am I such a mean-spirited person? I just said it directly. Now everyone knows that I saw the mysterious man!

They must be supporting Dumbledore again!

Yes, he understood very well. Even though he was the Minister of Magic, and even though these Aurors were all his subordinates, in fact, the most powerful Aurors, including the leader of the Aurors who always looked majestic, were I became an Auror because of my faith! This kind of people are very difficult to deal with, and it is impossible to make them obey your orders.

Damn it!

Fudge "tsk", why can't he attract wizards who are very talented in magic?

"The Minister of Magic's Night Visit to Hogwarts".

Early in the morning, the "Daily Prophet" was delivered to everyone's hands. The title attracted the attention of the little wizards, but the content frightened them half to death.

The Minister of Magic personally admitted that Voldemort, who had been missing for fourteen years, appeared in Hogwarts last night and had a fight with Principal Dumbledore.

Although the principal drove away the intruders, his office was still surrounded by owls.

Countless parents sent in howling letters, and many politely requested that they want to transfer to another school or withdraw from school.

Starting from the second day, one after another, many students left the school early.

"They just went home like this?" Cedric looked confused. "Don't they know that Hogwarts is the safest place in the world?"

Robert gnawed on the bread in his hand and felt that it was a bit hard. "Didn't you find that the bread this morning was a bit hard?"

The subject was changed, and Cedric was obviously stunned for a while before asking, "Um, does this have anything to do with it?"

"To put it simply, everyone is a little panicked." Summers swallowed the corn mush in the bowl. "Even the house elves in Hogwarts started to panic after hearing the news of Voldemort's return. How can you ask the parents of students who live outside the school to calm down? You know, parents always think that they are the safest around them."
