Chapter 521 The Restless Ministry of Magic
·
Rui Chen 3499
As another light snow fell, there was only one week left before the first event of the Triwizard Tournament.
During this time, Kong Nuo led the students to face most of the dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest.
The students now also understand how to deal with these dangerous creatures.
Compared with the Beauxbaton students who are still working hard during this period, the Hogwarts students who have already gained confidence are much more active.
They could also get together and discuss with each other the latest event in the wizarding world of England - Barty Crouch Sr.'s escape from Azkaban and his direct confrontation with Fudge.
Old Batty brought back a big piece of news—a large-scale prison escape in Azkaban, but Fudge, the current minister of the Ministry of Magic, concealed this matter.
Connor also noticed the front-page news about Batty Sr. and Fudge in the Daily Prophet, and couldn't help saying with emotion: "Barty Jr. is really strong because of his filial piety!"
"Voldemort is really good at finding this external brain! It can be spread in such a subtle and subtle way, I don't know when Fudge will step down!"
Little Barty has already revealed the whereabouts of some prisoners in various newspapers and periodicals by coercing Rita and other writers.
These speculative things did not attract Fudge's attention because there was no conclusive evidence.
It wasn't until Barty Sr. came back that Barty Jr. launched the fatal blow. Through his "money money ability", the "Daily Prophet" had to report related matters.
Unless Fudge is determined to close the newspaper office, there is no way to stop the news published using the "money ability".
In the wizarding world of England, the influence of the "Daily Prophet" is not small at all.
If Fudge did, it was not out of the question that those wizards would parade over the Ministry of Magic.
If there is more trouble, it will also involve the confidentiality of wizards by the Secrecy Act, and it will be even more difficult for Fudge to sit in the ministerial position.
The game between Fudge and Batty the Elder, or in other words with Batty Jr., who brought his dutiful son, finally ended with Batty the Elder arresting some prisoners and successfully returning to the Ministry of Magic.
For most of the students, they just want to see Minister Fudge deflated.
For passionate and restless students, it is a great pleasure to see people standing at the top of the magical world make a fool of themselves.
As for those employees working in the Ministry of Magic, they cannot have too optimistic expectations for the return of old Batty.
The purpose of old Barty's return this time is very clear, to challenge Minister Fudge's authority, which is the so-called "get back everything he lost many years ago".
In the Ministry of Magic under Fudge's control, these Ministry of Magic employees are used to being bad.
Batty Sr.'s behavior style and attitude towards work are much stricter than Fudge's.
So with a aggressive "catfish" like old Barty, they "sardines" can only be forced to be active.
If old Batty can defeat Fudge in the future and become the new Minister of Magic, those Ministry of Magic employees who continue to perform poorly may face the risk of being fired.

On the day of the first project, Grindelwald made a rare appearance in the auditorium.
His expression was relaxed, and he was not affected by the "standing penalty" some time ago.
Even Kong Nuo has a feeling that Grindelwald's current mental state seems to be better than before.
"Did he inhale Dumbledore's spirit?" A wicked idea appeared in Kong Nuo's mind.
"Hey! Professor Kong, you and your students are really active during this time!" Grindelwald came to Kong Nuo and greeted him with a smile.
"Huh? What is it referring to?" Kong Nuo asked curiously.
Grindelwald showed a playful expression like an old fox again, "For example...that boy named Harry, he seems to have caused Dumbledore a lot of trouble."
"Harry asked him why he wanted the Invisibility Cloak, and he couldn't just borrow it from him... I haven't seen such an embarrassed expression on Albus for a long time... Haha!"
"You are somewhat scumbag!" Kong Nuo described speechlessly when he heard Grindelwald's laughter.
Grindelwald seems to be in a good mood now, and the way he expresses his good mood is to ask a few more words.
"Scrubs? Residue? What do you mean? Albus said that there will always be some weird words in your mouth, such as pua, ptsd, and the second disease."
"Uh... It's a little troublesome to explain..." Kong Nuo scratched his head, "How should I describe it? It's just that you don't look like a good person!"
"Okay!" Grindelwald blinked, changed the subject very naturally, and looked into the distance.
There is a huge triangular tent with the school badges of three schools on it.
"The reason why I came to you is because Albus has a mission for you."
Kong Nuo said casually: "There is no question mark above your head, and there are no task reminders, not even gold coins and experience rewards."
"Is it like this?" Grindelwald snapped his fingers, and a question mark appeared in front of Kong Nuo, "Can I give you the task of Albus?"
Grindelwald's speed of use was so fast that Kong Nuo was caught off guard.
After several years of groping, he already understood how to deal with Dumbledore.
However, Grindelwald, who is as cunning as a fox, has not found a better way to deal with it.
Kong Nuo is really hard to imagine, how did Dumbledore and Grindelwald get mixed up in the first place?
Obviously Dumbledore can be honest enough to follow the wonderful management of the Ministry of Magic, why did he know Grindelwald, the leader of the Witch Party who can start the Wizarding World War?
"Tell me about it! Since it's a task, I have the right to refuse it." Kong Nuo waved his hand and said.
Grindelwald said: "Because of the special nature of that school, Albus hopes that you can be the last line of defense to protect Hogwarts students."
"By the way! If it's convenient, can you protect Beauxbaton? After all, they have called me 'Professor Bagshot' a few times."
"Will there be any trouble?" Kong Nuo raised his eyebrows, "Isn't their goal the trophy of the Triwizard Tournament? How dare they play it so big?"
"By the way! Where is the trophy for the Triwizard Tournament now? If the trophy is in the Ministry of Magic, wouldn't it be fine for them to just steal the trophy?"
"The trophy is in our hands!" Grindelwald replied, "Although the Deathly Hallows is the truth of those murals, we feel that there may be something special about the trophy."
"Who knows which picture in that mural is real? The safest way is, of course, to study all of them!"
During this time, Kong Nuo led the students to face most of the dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest.
