Chapter 171 The Ministry of Magic scandal and resignation 1
·
Nan Shan Dou Xi
The Muggle world is changing with each passing day, and the times are developing rapidly. Maybe yesterday's trend will become backward.
The same is true in the wizarding world. The Ministry of Magic's announcement of the capture of Sirius Black was passed on to every wizard in the "Daily Prophet" at night, and everyone shouted the name of Rufus Scrimgeour.
By morning, they had received word that the Ministry's incompetence had allowed Sirius Black to escape.
Before some people knew it, Rufus Scrimgeour put pressure on the Daily Prophet to stop the follow-up.
Too bad they still underestimated the boldness of the Daily Prophet.
Rufus Scrimgeour himself took the stage to give a speech about the escape of Sirius Black, followed by a speech promoted by someone with a heart.
And issued a kill order in the name of the minister, seeing Sirius can use the Unforgivable Curse to kill him on the spot.
At the same time, he also criticized the chaos in Knockturn Alley and expressed anger at the behavior of some wizards who established themselves as kings.
He is going to use the power of the Ministry of Magic to completely rectify the dark wizards in Knockturn Alley.
After this speech, he seemed to get rid of the public opinion for a while.
However, it didn't stop for a day, and there was a document called "Heroes?traitor! 's article swept the wizarding world.
Even Rufus Scrimgeour hadn't imagined that Peter Pettigrew, the war hero who had died so heroically, would appear in the Wizengamot one day.
Former Auror Tommy Shelby shook hands with his old boss Barty Crouch with a smile on his face, and graciously presented gifts.
Peter Pettigrew, who was once a dead man, a war hero, and was posthumously awarded the Order of Merlin First Class, stood alive.
He was locked in a cage, and he was in a terrible state, with fear in his small eyes.
A confession that directly slaps the Ministry of Magic in the face.
"Twelve years ago, we sent a real hero into Azkaban, and the traitor who killed the Potters took over everything that should belong to him."
The man who opened the mouth was Pierce Thickness, dressed in a neat suit, with a short black beard on his chin that was well-trimmed.
Facing the crowd of the Wizengamot, he spoke eloquently.
Pointing to Peter Pettigrew, who was locked up like an animal, he yelled angrily: "12 years, 12 years!"
"The crimes that the Ministry of Magic has hastily set made a hero tortured in Azkaban for 12 years!"
"Isn't this a wake-up call, a blow to the Ministry of Magic's face?"
Pierce Thicknesse is eloquent, his words make people close their eyes, as if imagining a person who has been kissed by a dementor for 12 years.
Rufus Scrimgeour kept his eyes fixed on Pierce, his fists clenched and cracking.
As soon as he issued the order to kill, it was revealed that the real culprit was someone else.
"It's just your side of the word."
As soon as Scrimgeour opened his mouth, Pierce smiled. He opened his arms, and said with an air of letting you investigate, "The 'temporary' Minister of Magic is right here. You can ask whatever you want."
The word temporary stung Scrimgeour again.
Before he could speak, Piers Thicknesse interrupted aggressively, "Please tell me why Peter Pettigrew has been hiding disguised as a mouse for 12 years, exactly 12 years."
After all, Pierce looked around at the crowd and roared with determination: "It's been 12 years since Voldemort fell, why is he still hiding?"
There was no sound in the seats. After hearing this, it was like hot water was boiling, and there were gasps one after another.
"He actually said that name."
"Pierce Thicknesse, when did he get so brave."
"Who doesn't know that the name is cursed."
They whispered, even in the past many years, there are still many people who are afraid of the mysterious person.
They didn't even dare to mention that name, for fear of being hunted by Death Eaters as before.
Pierce's behavior earned him a reputation as brave, and then someone questioned Peter Pettigrew.
Pettigrew Peter was reluctant to admit it at first, but the evidence is overwhelming.
As Pierce said, if there were no ghosts, how could he turn into a mouse and hide for 12 years.
When the Veritaserum was brought up, Peter Pettigrew trembled and told the truth.
Rufus Scrimgeour was devastated when the Ministry of Magic scandal became public.
Not only because he is the Minister of Magic, but also because he issued a kill order on a hero.
The overwhelming publicity of the "Daily Prophet" is almost everyone's hand.
In these newspapers, apart from reports about the Ministry of Magic scandal, there are also some seemingly trivial matters, such as Johnny Silverhand's rectification of Knockturn Alley.
It seems subtle, but it is actually fine.
Against the background of the Ministry of Magic scandal, Knockturn Alley, which was heavily criticized by the interim Minister of Magic Rufus Scrimgeour, is another good development.
Some headed to Knockturn Alley and found that it was.
There are no dark wizards covering your face to sell you love potions, and the tidy and clean streets are not much worse than Diagon Alley.
The gray industry is not disappearing, but hiding.
Blocking is worse than sparse.
Johnny Silverhand re-established the rules. Unless there is a guide, it is basically impossible for ordinary wizards to see the gray industry.
After John came out of the principal's office, word of the scandal had spread throughout the school.
"Interim Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour has resigned as Interim Minister ashamed of his negligent investigation into the truth."
"At the same time apologize for the dementor attack on Hogwarts students, and make an order to be reassigned to the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters."
"Pierce Thickness is appointed as the head of the Auror Office, and Amelia Susan Burns may be the next minister."
"Peter Pettigrew will be stripped of all honors and will spend the rest of his life in Azkaban."
The "Daily Prophet" was passed on in the hands of every little wizard, and Ron said angrily: "Fortunately, I used to like Rufus Scrimgeour."
Hermione congratulated Harry: "Great, Harry, Sirius' grievances have been cleared."
Harry also had a happy face. He once fantasized about living with his godfather. Because of his status as a fugitive, Sirius had no choice but to hide.
It was so good now that he might not have to go back to the Dursleys.
He wished he could write to Sirius right now.
When Ron saw Pierce's name, he approached and whispered, "My dad said Pierce Thicknesse was a philistine. I didn't like him at all."
As the beneficiaries of this scandal, there are three on the bright side.
The first is the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Amelia Susan Bones, who is seen as the favorite to take over as the next Minister for Magic.
The second one is Barty Crouch, he is upright and the cause of this unraveling of the truth, although there is no job transfer, but the officials of the Ministry of Magic have paid attention to him again.
The third is Pierce Thinknes, who became the director of the Auror Office of the real power department. He heard that he had brought a sum of defense funds to the Auror Office as soon as he took office.
According to insiders, the funds were contributed by the Johnny Silver Hand store.
The students talked about it enthusiastically. In just one year, two ministers stepped down. No, it should be the Minister of Magic and the Interim Minister of Magic.
Harry looked at the rest of the news in the paper and saw Lord Johnny Silverhand clean up Knockturn Alley.
He remembered that Hagrid had mentioned Lord Johnny Silverhand, and he had seen it in the school hospital.
It was a wizard full of mystery, and no one had seen the face under the silver mask.
The newspapers proclaimed the kindness of Lord Johnny Silverhand, but Lupine had a different opinion.
He told Harry that this man was very dangerous and he didn't want Harry to have any contact with him.
...
The last day of school passed, and John was held back by Harry to thank him.
Thanks to John, otherwise he and the godfather would have died, and Harry was ashamed of his doubts.
He had been skeptical about John's money, but Sirius had written that there had never been any money.
That makes the matter an unsolved case.
That is, after my godfather washes away his grievances, he still needs to rest for a long time.
Because he was kicked twice by John, both in the same position, and I don't know what method Snape and John used. His swollen face cannot be healed by magic.
In addition, Dumbledore refused to agree to let him live with the godfather, so Harry had some small resentments about these things.
On the train home, John was in the car, and the passing Slytherin students were full of admiration but did not dare to disturb him.
The system starts settlement.
Plus 1 point that was not used last semester, a total of 8 random points.
