Fudge said in a low voice:
"We got news that Black is probably a werewolf, and the Ministry of Magic has also asked some people. When Sirius was removed from the family tree by the Black family, it may be related to his identity..."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
As soon as Fudge finished speaking, Douglas choked as soon as a glass of wine reached his throat.
"I'm sorry, Minister. I haven't had a drink for a long time. I'm a little uncomfortable. You can continue."
Fudge's words not only made Douglas choke, but also the other people at the table.
Hagrid hiccupped and said loudly in surprise:
"How is that possible, we all know werewolves are..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted angrily by Professor McGonagall.
"Hagrid!"
After Professor McGonagall looked around, the guests who heard Hagrid's voice all lowered their heads.
Douglas directly poured Hagrid a glass of wine, handed it to his mouth and said:
"Drink, don't talk!"
Fudge obviously didn't know about Lupine being a werewolf, but he thought Hagrid was talking about the well-known werewolf Fenrir Greyback, so he shrugged and said:
"Hagrid, you must know that Greyback is not the only werewolf in the world, and Sirius is probably Krayback's victim..."
Madam Rosmerta said doubtfully:
"If I remember correctly, Black and Potter were like brothers in school. If Black is a werewolf, is it after graduation?"
Fudge shook his head, looked around carefully, and said in a low voice:
"No, according to the investigation, we found that the Black family removed Sirius from the family very early. We suspect that the real reason behind this may be that Black's werewolf blood has polluted the pure blood of the wizard.
And the reason why he has such a good relationship with Potter is that Potter is a very kind person, and he is so friendly to werewolves... Sigh. "
Hagrid stared, looked at Fudge in surprise, then at Professor McGonagall.
And Professor McGonagall looked very surprised, looked at Douglas and blinked, meaning that the news you released is also part of your plan?
Douglas shook his head.
There was a sudden silence on the table, and Fudge was also very satisfied with everyone's shocked expressions.
Professor Flitwick first glanced at Professor McGonagall and Douglas with strange expressions, and then asked Fudge:
"Mr. Minister, how did you confirm that Sirius is a werewolf? I mean, is it just because he was expelled from the family? I remember that there are various reasons for expelling members of the pure-blood family, and more because they thought of......"
Those who knew the real situation and those who didn't know the real situation on the table looked at Fudge curiously.
Douglas sighed silently. He had already guessed the source of Fudge's information. It is very likely that the discussion in the Charon Detective Agency was told by a student to his family, and then spread to Fudge.
This gave Sirius a very good excuse to escape from Azkaban. As long as this matter is announced to everyone at the right time, then everyone will not worry that other people in Azkaban will also escape from prison.
When Fudge heard everyone's inquiries, he smiled mysteriously:
"Sorry, this involves the secrets of the Ministry of Magic. But I can tell you the purpose of Black's coming to Hogwarts."
Hagrid said in surprise:
"Purpose? Isn't his purpose to find Harry?"
Fudge shook his head and said:
"Not only that, as far as we know, there are a group of werewolves in the Forbidden Forest, and Black's target is them. Obviously he plans to form a werewolf army, and of course Harry Potter will also be his target."
Hagrid put down the cup in his hand, and said doubtfully:
"But there are no werewolves in the Forbidden Forest. There are only a group of werewolves mating and giving birth to wolf cubs during the full moon... Well... Although they are as intelligent as humans, they are not werewolves, and they don't obey Werewolves call, I'm pretty sure of that.
And when Professor Scamander established the Werewolf Registry, he came to the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts and recorded this in the files of the Ministry of Magic..."
When Hagrid mentioned werewolves in the Forbidden Forest, Douglas placed a soundproofing charm directly around their table.
He also knew the pack of wolf cubs living in the Forbidden Forest. The wolf cubs were mated by werewolves during the full moon. They were more beautiful than ordinary wolves and possessed intelligence close to that of humans. He once wanted to take the leader of them as his younger brother , but was rejected by the other party.
However, in order to prevent students from entering the Forbidden Forest at will, the professors tacitly did not explain the rumors that there were werewolves in the Forbidden Forest to the students.
Fudge froze for a moment when he heard this, obviously he didn't know the situation, the werewolf registry had been abandoned for many years, who would look through those files.
He raised his glass in embarrassment and took a sip, then said
"Is there? Maybe it's been too long, and they forgot to report it to me."
Douglas said helplessly:
"Mr. Minister, if Sirius is really a werewolf, why doesn't he go to Greyback and the others."
Fudge was obviously a little annoyed at this time, but he suppressed his anger and said:
"I don't know about that. I came to Dumbledore this time because I wanted to send someone into the Forbidden Forest to get in touch with those werewolves in advance..."
Hagrid said suddenly belatedly:
"If Black was a werewolf, then many things would make sense. Why did he betray? Also, when he wanted to take Harry away from me, he must have wanted to turn Harry into a werewolf like him. ...do you know what I did, to comfort that werewolf."
Douglas rubbed his head. Hagrid was completely led astray. How could he believe that Black was a werewolf? But people who know the inside story are really easy to be misled. After all, there is a werewolf among friends. one.
Mrs. Rosmerta pondered for a moment and said:
"Of all the people who have turned to the dark side, Sirius Black is the last thing I can think of, thinking about him when he was in school.
But if he is a werewolf, then these things can be explained clearly. "
Douglas coughed lightly and said:
"Harry knew about it."
Fudge was taken aback, then looked at Hagrid.
Hagrid stared, wondering what you meant by this, and quickly waved his hands and said in a rough voice:
"That's not what I said."
After speaking, he looked at Douglas again.
Douglas lowered his voice and said:
"I really know who said this. Lucius Malfoy's son told Harry. I heard that this matter is kept secret in the Ministry of Magic. It was so easy for a child to know, tsk tsk!"
Hagrid looked at Douglas in surprise, that's not what you told me back then.
Fudge heard this and raised his glass in embarrassment.
Then there was silence on the table again.
Then Hagrid began to sob softly, and then condemned Black in various ways.
Fudge and Rosmerta also joined the condemnation team.
Professor McGonagall remained silent, looking at Douglas with complaints in his eyes, is this your plan?
And Professor Flitwick felt the strange atmosphere between McGonagall and Douglas from the very beginning, especially the two had no comment on Black's affairs.
He keenly felt that there must be something he didn't know about, so he didn't speak at all.
After a while, Rosmerta choked up, and said with a hint of pleasure in his tone:
"Fortunately, he didn't escape in the end. Pettigrew's sacrifice was worth it, poor boy. The Ministry of Magic's approach is very popular."
After speaking, the three of them took another sip of wine.
Douglas found that Professor Flitwick was always looking at him with a smile on his face, and then looked at Professor McGonagall from time to time, and Douglas smiled awkwardly at him.
"We got news that Black is probably a werewolf, and the Ministry of Magic has also asked some people. When Sirius was removed from the family tree by the Black family, it may be related to his identity..."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
As soon as Fudge finished speaking, Douglas choked as soon as a glass of wine reached his throat.
