Chapter 494: Reunion and Reconsideration
After hearing Oldfield's analysis, Klar's previous depressed mood was swept away, and the excitement on his face could no longer be concealed. He seemed to have seen the beautiful picture of himself standing in front of the public again with the help of this crisis!
But at this moment, Fudge suddenly said, "Will, I will give you the list of the three locations later, don't act rashly... Also, the cause of this magic photo incident must be found out! Umbridge, this matter is left to you, is there any problem?"
"Yes, Minister." Klar lowered his head reluctantly, his eyes becoming colder.
"Don't worry, Minister." Umbridge replied confidently.
......
The meeting lasted for a long time before it finally ended. This was also the first time that Yang Tian had a detailed understanding of Fudge's power and the strategies they were studying. Under Yang Tian's safe eavesdropping, Fudge and his group finally left the Chamber of Secrets one after another. The last to leave were Umbridge and Madam Rosmerta. Umbridge chatted with the proprietress for a long time with the door of the Chamber of Secrets open. It was not until the communication ring sent the latest news that the two women left intimately...
This adventure took several hours. When Yang Tian stepped out of the bar, the sun was still shining on the ground, making him feel a little warm even under the protection of the disillusionment spell. He took a deep breath of fresh air, secretly thanking himself for the perfect ending of this accidental tracking. Of course, he did not relax his vigilance, but immediately went to a corner to restore his body shape.
As luck would have it, Yang Tian just walked out of the corner leisurely and was discovered by his friends who were looking for him there.
"Yang Tian, where have you been? We were so scared, we thought something had happened." Furong, Penelope and Zhang Qiu rushed to Yang Tian anxiously, and Furong and Zhang Qiu grabbed his arms tightly from the left and right.
Seeing everyone so nervous, Yang Tian couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. He gently patted a few people on the shoulder and comforted them: "I'm fine, I just found some figures that shouldn't be here." He briefly told them what he had just experienced, but he chose to conceal the situation in the secret room.
After listening to Yang Tian's explanation, the expressions of the few people eased a little. Furong asked softly, "Are you injured? Besides Fudge, who are the others? They can't be from the Tuxin Cult, right?"
Yang Tian shook his head and replied with a smile: "I am not injured, and those people are not members of Tussin's cult. Except for Minister Fudge who is hiding his true colors, the others should also be from the Ministry of Magic. However, I am not sure of their specific identities... I will continue to investigate... As you know, because of the Dementors' attack on Hogwarts, he has been staying at home recently. His sneaking to Hogsmeade village aroused my curiosity."
"Did you find anything?" Zhang Qiu asked with a little concern: "Will it cause any harm to you? The last incident was directly related to you. I'm really afraid that they will bear a grudge against you."
"I didn't see the details." Yang Tian shrugged with a fake bitterness. But soon, he added: "However, I feel that it is more like a party, and it has little to do with us."
"You are so stupid! If something happens, can't you use the communication ring to contact us?" Penelope said unyieldingly, "If you really informed us in advance, maybe we could help you."
"I also secretly followed Fudge into the bar. I had no idea if there were any spies outside, so how could I dare to call anyone?" Yang Tian explained patiently.
……
As they were talking, they joined the crowd and walked onto the street. After receiving the news, the friends in the study group also came one after another. Everyone was relieved to see that Yang Tian was safe and sound. After taking turns to show concern, everyone finally returned to Hogwarts in a mighty manner...
Late at night the next day, Yang Tian quietly came to Hogsmeade Village again, but this time, he did not wander around, but went directly into the Yang family residence. After his arrival, within just a few minutes, figures entered one after another, and soon, in addition to Yang Tian, there were eleven people gathered in the secret room.
"Master, we may have been a little radical this time, but this opportunity is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so..." Crouch apologized right away.
Yang Tian did not rush to express his opinion, but asked in a gentle tone: "Let's talk about the ins and outs of this operation first. After all, it seems unlikely that such a fast and large-scale operation would be triggered based on just one piece of information I provided, right?"
"Yes, Master." Rita Skeeter immediately took over the conversation and reported respectfully, "In fact, the night before this operation, Oldfield Evans, Director of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, quietly arrived at Hogsmeade Village and walked directly into the Three Broomsticks. At that time, one of my new spies happened to be drinking in the bar. While observing secretly, he accidentally heard key words such as tomorrow, party, and secret chamber... Oldfield's support for Fudge is already an open secret within the Ministry of Magic. If it weren't for his firm support, Fudge, who had experienced so many failures, would probably find it difficult to keep his position as Minister. In addition, due to the attack a few days ago, Fudge has become extremely cautious and his whereabouts are even more mysterious. Therefore, several of us considered whether we could dig out something extraordinary through this so-called party."
"So, you started preparing it the night before?" Yang Tian asked suddenly.
"Yes, Master." Sirius Black attended such a meeting for the first time, and said seriously with a slightly strange look on his face, "For Animagus, instant transformation is a very difficult skill. But in Azkaban, with nothing to worry about, I often pass the time through this training. As a result, my continuous transformation can almost be achieved instantly... At that time, it was Madam Umbridge and Nagini who found me and asked me to pretend to be intimate with every designated person who passed by the next day and take magic photos."
"Yes, Master. Actually, we took a huge number of magical photos, but most of them were scrapped. In those scrapped photos, there were only figures of them and a big dog. But even so, we collected enough useful photos, hahaha..." At the end, Umbridge couldn't help laughing triumphantly...
