Chapter 218 Negotiation Ends Interview with Rita

When Fudge heard that it had to be put into a document, he immediately hesitated. He couldn't help but delay and said, "Isn't this necessary? After all..."

"So, the Ministry of Magic is not going to give Hogwarts any benefits, but instead wants to take credit for it?" Yang Tian's displeasure was obvious, and he interrupted the other party directly.

"Well..." Fudge pondered the pros and cons carefully, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, let's implement the terms just now into a formal document of the Ministry of Magic. This is also a support for Hogwarts! However, Hogwarts is not a lawless place, and the relevant laws of the Ministry of Magic must still be observed."

The actual benefits had already been taken, so there was no need for Yang Tian to try his luck with words, so he just agreed to it casually.

Having resolved most of the contradictions in this negotiation, Yang Tian said with a sense of relief: "Okay, now it should be a small reward for us kids. I think this is not difficult, right?"

"It should be, but considering your performance just now, I have no idea at all. Just tell me your conditions." Fudge said with a wry smile without daring to relax at all.

Yang Tian laughed when he heard this and said, "You are really worrying too much this time. My companions and I are just ordinary little wizards in Hogwarts. We really don't have any special needs. As for what kind of reward the Ministry of Magic can give us, I think it is up to you and Headmaster Dumbledore to discuss and decide together."

Such an answer really surprised Fudge and the others. How could such a smart little guy choose to back down when it came to fighting for his own interests?

But when I think about it, I feel it is a difficult problem. This seemingly undemanding approach, which is based entirely on your own wishes, seems to be the most difficult to deal with, right? We are all decent people, can the Ministry of Magic really do such an indecent thing?

Fudge couldn't think of a suitable reward at the moment, so he stopped thinking about it and focused on the aftermath of the incident: "There is another crucial question, how to deal with Voldemort's soul? Can it be completely wiped out?"

Dumbledore, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up: "This is actually a very difficult thing, at least in my opinion. In the process of destroying the soul, even if there is only a trace of it escaping, it is equivalent to giving the other party a chance to live again."

Yang Tian immediately responded, “So the best way is to follow our Eastern practice and completely suppress its soul in our Yang family.”

"Is this still possible? Is there any risk of escape?" Fudge couldn't help but worry while breathing a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, China is still very confident in suppressing souls and bodies." Yang Tian said confidently.

But at this moment, Umbridge interrupted sinisterly: "The most worrying thing is that if someone steals and secretly releases the Dark Lord, it will be a disaster for the British wizarding world. We really shouldn't hand the handle to others."

Yang Tian was even more disdainful after hearing this: "Ms. Umbridge, are you sure that these ideas you have now are based on thinking?"

"you......"

"What do you mean? I was the one who captured Voldemort, and this bastard hates me the most now! And I want to let him out? What on earth are you thinking?" Yang Tian was completely furious.

"I...you..." Umbridge was speechless and could only lower her head in shame.

Fudge frowned at the stupid woman again, then hesitantly asked, "I have another idea I'd like to discuss with you all. Can we hold a public trial or public display of Voldemort in a public event? It doesn't have to be too long, one to two hours will be enough."

"Fudge, are you really going to do this?" Dumbledore asked in surprise.

"I'm sorry, Dumbledore, I have my reasons for having to do this. Since we have chosen to publicize this matter in the name of the Ministry of Magic, we must make the case solid and not give people any chance to criticize. And Voldemort's body or soul can crush all rumors." Fudge said solemnly.

“But if an accident occurs and Voldemort’s soul escapes, it will be a disaster for the entire wizarding world!” Dumbledore frowned.

"Indeed, Dumbledore. So we will have to rely on your help when the time comes. With the help of Scrimgeour's Aurors, I think we can ensure that everything is foolproof, right?" Fudge complimented.

"Well, although I don't agree to take such a big risk to implement this plan, if you insist, I will still try my best." Looking at Fudge's stubborn performance, Dumbledore had no choice but to agree.

In fact, Yang Tian didn't want to cause trouble, but looking at the current situation, he could only say helplessly. "I'm sorry, if that's the case, I have to explain something. As you have seen just now, with my personal ability, I really can't support the one to two hours of consumption you expect. So if you insist on doing this, I have to contact Grandpa and use the little power of the Yang family to complete this matter. As for the specific situation, you should wait until I ask clearly before giving me a reply, okay?"

Fudge finally felt relieved. He quickly put on his signature hypocritical smile and said, "Thank you for your help. I look forward to hearing from you."

Seeing that there was nothing else important, Yang Tian finally stood up, bowed, and left leisurely. Only Dumbledore and the three members of the Ministry of Magic were left to discuss the rewards for the nine young wizards...

That night, Meng Meng Jiao left Hogwarts with a secret letter, and her destination was Zabini Manor. The content of the letter was very simple, discussing the possibility of turning Dolores Umbridge and Rita Skeeter into her own people...

Although Yang Tian did not know the final result of the discussion in the principal's office, and of course, he was not interested in the result, the next day, Rita Skeeter, a special reporter for the Daily Prophet, came to Hogwarts and invited all the young wizards who participated in the incident to be interviewed, which seemed to indicate that the reward was not simple.

Regarding this matter, Yang Tian also sought the opinions of his friends. Yang Tian himself believed that this was a very good opportunity to improve his reputation; but if anyone did not want to be in the limelight and was afraid of attracting the attention of the Death Eaters or the mysterious organization, they could choose to hide behind the scenes. But obviously, Yang Tian was overthinking, and his friends were not afraid.

Therefore, in the next half day, the nine-member team accepted Rita's interviews one by one. Of course, with Mrs. Zabini's secret greeting, Rita changed her usual sharp interview style and appeared kind and gentle, committed to restoring the truth of the matter.

The nine friends also gave Rita enough face. For this interview, the nine people sat together and carefully prepared the script. It can be said that they contributed a lot.

It was also under this premise that the interview went very smoothly. Rita slowly assembled a fierce battle of mutual help, mutual trust, and mutual redemption from the different perspectives of the nine people, and thoroughly presented it to everyone. I would like to emphasize that there are no talismans in this script...
