Chapter 231 Fudge: Black Around Hogwarts
·
Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
Halloween day.
Hogsmeade village.
Douglas was notified by Professor McGonagall to go to the Three Broomsticks.
Along the way, some bosses in Hogsmeade greeted Douglas one after another.
The proprietress of the Honeydukes candy shop brought out all kinds of candies and sent them over with a smile.
"We've heard about you since the beginning of the semester. You are the only Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who has been re-elected in decades. This is a congratulatory gift for you!"
Before Douglas had time to say thank you, he heard the owner of the Honeydukes Candy Store standing in front of the store and shouting loudly:
"Take a look. The ginger candies, asparagus candies, and wax gourd candies produced by Professor Holmes when he was a student. After eating, you will be as good as Professor Holmes!"
After the boss finished speaking, he smiled and winked at him. Embarrassment flashed across the boss's face, she smiled at Douglas, and then ran to the boss and dragged him away from the door.
Douglas smiled bitterly, and a group of students looked at him, especially the third graders who heard the slogan for the first time, seemed even more surprised.
He saw Harry in the crowd, waved his hand, and Harry ran over quickly.
"Cousin, why are you here? I can bring you anything you need."
Douglas directly put the pile of candy in his hand, pointed to the Ministry of Magic on the wall and ordered:
"This is a sponsorship for the Charon Detective Agency. Hurry up and find out the truth of the matter. Haven't you got any results after so long? Look at the crazy people outside..."
Harry opened his mouth, all this nonsense was caused by Black, and it has nothing to do with me.
"Actually, we found out some things. For example, Black is probably a werewolf... But we didn't understand what the hint you gave meant, it was on the Marauder's Map."
At the end Harry looked around and lowered his voice.
Douglas froze for a moment, when did he give the reminder?
Also, haven't the twins already discovered the identity of Scabbers? How come the Marauder's Map was given to Harry again.
"How did you get the Marauder's Map? Logically speaking, you shouldn't need that..."
It's good that Douglas didn't mention it, but Harry's expression turned ugly when he mentioned it, how did he get it, hehe, he bought a bunch of Galleons.
He quickly changed the subject and said:
"We don't understand why Scabbers is shown as dead Peter Perum on the Marauder's Map, what does that have to do with rats?
We've had a lot of guesses that don't match up recently, and Hermione asked me not to tell you, but I still feel like this kind of thing..."
He had heard from Lu Ping that the twin brothers had asked him to apply for learning the Human Form Restoration Curse, which meant that the other party had already discovered Banban's true identity. Such a comparison...
Douglas glanced at Harry unkindly. It wasn't his own son's fault, otherwise he really wanted to have a love education. How did this brain grow? Such obvious evidence can be abducted to other places.
"Think about it for yourself, so many people and so many clues have made you mess up, this task can't be completed before Christmas, hehe..."
After Douglas finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving behind a dazed Harry.
Seeing Douglas go, Hermione and Ron ran over from the candy store.
"Harry, the professor is so kind to you. He gave you so many candies."
"What did you say to the professor, why do I think he has a bad face?"
Harry posted the Ministry of Magic order:
【Customers please note that unless otherwise notified, there will be dementors patrolling the streets of Hogsmeade from sunset every day.This measure is to protect the safety of the residents of Hogsmeade, and it can only be lifted after Sirius Black is arrested.So all customers are requested to finish their shopping before sunset. 】
Said:
"He made us have to wrap this up before Christmas..."
When Douglas passed by Zuko's joke shop, he found that the Weasley twins and their roommate, Lee Jordan, each hugged a bunch of products from the Zoko joke shop.
Since many of the products in the seasoning and joke shop are contraband in Hogwarts, there is no way to bring them into Hogwarts openly.They were looking for some young wizards at the gate, and they planned to ask them to help them bring these items into Hogwarts in batches.
Douglas glanced at the three of them suspiciously. In his impression, these few should not be such rich owners. How could they have the money to purchase so many things this time.
Before Douglas could look away, George and Fred had already spotted him. They first smiled at him, and then the three hurried into a nearby alley with their things in their arms.
This action confuses Douglas, he is not Filch, as long as the students don't use these prank products on themselves, he will not care about them at all, so the reaction of the twins and Li Jordan makes him feel inexplicable.
When Douglas came to the Three Broomsticks, Professor McGonagall and others had already arrived.
Mrs. Rosmerta, the proprietress, smiled and brought him to Professor McGonagall's table, then turned to get the wine.
Besides Professor McGonagall, there are Professor Flitwick, Hagrid, and Minister Fudge on this table...
As soon as the few people finished greeting, Mrs. Rosmerta came over with a drink.
"A small glass of violet water, four pints of mead, a glass of soda water with snail cherry syrup on the rocks, and Mr. Minister's currant rum, and a bottle of Sherlock Holmes..."
Several people thanked Mrs. Rosmerta respectively, and Douglas looked at Holmes in front of him and laughed.
Fudge didn't know what Holmes' wine was, looked at it curiously, and then said to Mrs. Rosmerta:
"Dear Rosmerta. Get yourself one, and join us..."
Mrs. Rosmerta obliged happily, before she turned back to get her glass.
Douglas flicked his finger on the glass in front of him, and suddenly a copying spell passed, and the wine glass became two directly, and then said with a smile:
"Madame would not mind trying the Sherlock Holmes bar together. This glass can last for about four hours."
Mrs. Rosmerta froze for a moment, then sat down directly on the chair next to her.
"Of course, thank you Douglas, is this the wandless spell?"
Professor Flitwick said in surprise:
"No, no, this is more subtle than ordinary wandless spells."
Fudge also exaggerates:
"As expected of Professor Holmes, Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror Office, has mentioned to me several times that when you graduated, you should have been recruited into the Ministry of Magic."
Professor McGonagall coughed slightly.
Douglas smiled and changed the subject, and asked Fudge:
"Mr. Minister, how is the investigation of the missing dementor going? During this period of time, in order to prevent accidents and confusion, I have banned students from using the Patronus Charm in the castle."
After hearing Douglas' question, Fudge's face turned a little ugly. He twisted his fat body and looked around cautiously, as if he was worried that someone around would eavesdrop.
After the dementors sieged Hogwarts last time, the Ministry of Magic was almost blown up by all kinds of weird letters from those parents the next day.
In the end, the Ministry of Magic had to make various explanations and promises in the Daily Prophet to appease the public outrage.
They didn't even dare to tell the public about the loss of more than a dozen dementors, for fear of causing panic in the magic world.
As an old socialite, Mrs. Rosmerta, although she didn't understand what Douglas said about the disappearance of the dementor, she still saw the embarrassment of the Minister of Magic at this time.
She complained in a joking tone:
"Speaking of dementors, have the inspectors been a little more diligent lately? They come here every day, which now causes me to have nightmares every night. Is the minister coming to my small place today to solve this problem?"
There was a flash of relief in Fudge's eyes, and then he whispered:
"Oh, of course, we actually always thought Black was around Hogwarts."
As soon as the words came out, Professor McGonagall looked directly at Douglas, and Douglas shook his head slightly. At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Fudge, and they didn't notice the small movements of the two of them.
