Chapter 222 Beware of Dementors' Rebellion

Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
Hearing Fudge's words, Umbridge said excitedly:
"Thank you Minister for the recognition, it makes me so touched."
After finishing speaking, he raised his neck and looked at Douglas with a haughty look.
Douglas turned his head to look at Dumbledore, and blinked at him, meaning you don't always say something to support him?
But Dumbledore picked up a cup of black tea, raised his glass to Douglas, and then a cup of black tea was summoned to Douglas' side.
This scene made the Ministry of Magic's teeth itch again.
Douglas really didn't like talking to this woman. Thinking about what she would do in the future, if he didn't leave this post, the other party would most likely enter Hogwarts directly as a senior investigator.
Douglas picked up the black tea, took a sip slowly, and then said slowly:
"Leave other things aside first, the minister just now..."
Hearing Douglas calling himself Minister, Umbridge's expression was slightly joyful at first, and then he quickly restrained himself, and interrupted him quickly:
"Ahem, it's the senior deputy minister. There is only one minister in the Ministry of Magic."
Douglas nodded seriously, and said with a smile:
"The deputy minister is also the minister. After all, the adverb can be removed at any time...but it's not important. What I want to ask is that Madam Minister just said that the dementors have been under the control of the Ministry of Magic. So, in other words, this time Did you instigate the hundreds of dementors to invade Hogwarts?"
Although Douglas asked with a smile, Umbridge instinctively felt a cold breath.
But she quickly calmed down, ignoring the obviously provocative words in Douglas' words, and said seriously:
"I think you misunderstood. The dementors entered Hogwarts to search because they found traces of the wanted man Black, but they were interrupted..."
Douglas snorted and said dissatisfiedly:
"Do you believe this reason yourself? Will the parents of those students believe it?"
Umbridge took a deep breath, squeezed out an ugly smile again and said:
"That's not the purpose of our visit today, it's about the disappearance of the dementors!"
Douglas said with an exaggerated expression:
"But aren't the dementors under your control, are you sure they really disappeared.
As we all know, when the dementors appeared twice, the headmaster and professors of Hogwarts did not take action, and the students themselves drove them out.
Could it be that dementors are so weak that some young wizards who haven't graduated can handle them.
Or is it that the dementors are deliberately releasing water, and they need to find a reason to make some of their kind disappear from the public eye, so as to find new partners, and then escape the control of the Ministry of Magic? "
Although Douglas's words were full of loopholes, the Ministry of Magic, who knew the actual situation of the dementors very well, was shocked. They had never thought of such a possibility.
After all, for nearly three centuries, the dementors have been guarding the prisoners of Azkaban under their arrangement.
Fudge couldn't help but wonder if releasing the Dementors from Azkaban this time led to their ambitions.
At this time Douglas added fire:
"Mr. Minister, I still think your focus should be on finding the lost dementors. In case they breed in a dark corner somewhere, the Ministry of Magic...
Believe me, there is no reason for Hogwarts to capture dementors, after all, we are responsible for the students, you are right, I will explain it to the parents of the students..."
Fudge immediately had a bad association. If the public really knew that the dementors were wandering outside, the panic caused would be enough to pull him down.
He immediately said to Dumbledore:
"Albus, I will definitely educate them about dementors entering the school, and I believe it will never happen again.
You know, the Ministry of Magic still has a bunch of documents waiting for me to sign, so I'll go back first, and I can confirm that the disappearance of the dementor has nothing to do with Hogwarts. "
After the people from the Ministry of Magic left in a hurry, Dumbledore asked suspiciously:
"Douglas, do you have a problem with Dolores?"
Douglas took a sip of tea and said casually:
"It's not a contradiction, she just found a reason to ban my new book."
Dumbledore gave a soft oh, then stretched out a hand and looked at Douglas.
Douglas smiled, and took the initiative to take out a prepared sign and handed it over.
"It's best to carry this professor with you!"
Dumbledore looked at it carefully, and then put the wooden sign away directly.
"What are you going to do next?"
Douglas shrugged and said:
"Actually, there is nothing to do. The rest depends on when Harry and the others will find out the truth."
That's when Douglas was in the principal's office.
Gryffindor, who lost the game again, sat listlessly in the Quidditch locker room.
Wood looked very sad, but he still tried to comfort everyone.
"It's okay, Harry, don't blame yourself, you're still the best Seeker we've ever met, and being able to catch the Snitch just a little bit under the circumstances of unequal speed is already impressive.
The weather has had too much impact this time, we still have a chance in the future, there must be a chance..."
But Harry still looked lonely for a while. He felt that it was his own fault that he missed the chance to catch the Snitch. At that time, as long as he was faster, he would have caught the Snitch before Cedric.
After Wood gave a passionate speech, everyone left one after another.
On the way back to the castle, Fred and Angelina chatted and laughed.
George asked curiously beside Harry:
"During today's competition, I saw Professor Holmes appearing on the field with a dog. I remember his pet was not a sniff?"
Harry said with a low expression:
"Oh, that's a dog called Padfoot that my cousin raised during the summer vacation. He is very close to him. He usually stays in the professor's office and never comes out."
As Harry was talking, he walked forward when he suddenly realized that George hadn't followed, and turned his head to look in doubt.
I saw George said with a look of surprise:
"You said that dog was called Padfoot?"
Fred heard George's words and looked over.
Harry nodded in confusion, and asked curiously:
"You know it?"
George and Fred looked at each other, then asked cautiously:
"You said the professor never brought it out, so why did he bring it out in this competition?"
Harry wondered why the two of them were so interested in a dog, but he really didn't know why.
Angelina asked curiously from the side:
"Is there anything special about this dog?"
George and Fred shook their heads quickly.
Then he dragged Harry and ran quickly towards the castle, leaving Angelina staring at the backs of the three in a daze.
"Thank you Minister for the recognition, it makes me so touched."
After finishing speaking, he raised his neck and looked at Douglas with a haughty look.
