Chapter 255: Aftermath of the World Cup
After arranging the chaotic camp, Minister Wright returned to his office and stood quietly in front of his desk.
Thick black fog floated out from his body and gradually filled the entire room.
Fudge, who was out of Wright's control, did not show any tension or panic, nor did he want to escape.
Instead, he looked at the human figure formed by the black mist in the air with a very respectful look.
The shadow floating above the office reached out and took out a black ring from his chest, and said to Fudge:
"Crouch has been blackmailed by me. He dare not oppose you until he finds out where his son is."
"Then take this opportunity to deploy personnel to the Auror office."
"As long as we keep Crouch a secret, he won't dare to resist!"
Fudge lowered his head and listened to Wright's instructions. He looked extremely loyal and his voice was extremely firm:
"I understand! Everything will be arranged according to your idea."
Wright didn't care about Fudge's loyalty and directly handed the ring to him:
"Take this ring, it will help you when you need it!"
"As for when you need help, that's up to you. I don't have time for that."
Fudge didn't ask what the ring was for, but put it on his hand.
Seeing him so obedient and trusting, Wright felt something was wrong, but he continued:
"There is one more thing. You should also arrange Regulus's matter and let him join the Ministry of Magic!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the one in charge of the Ministry of Magic in the future."
Upon hearing this, Fudge bowed respectfully to the shadow in the air, his voice firm and pious:
"Your instructions are the direction of my life's efforts!"
"hiss!"
Hearing Fudge's licking remarks, Light, who was far away in Black's mansion, couldn't help but gasp:
"That's not right! I used the Imperius Curse and the Black Mist to modify his memory."
"How did they come up with such a... 'loyal' person? I don't understand. I don't understand."
"We need to study it carefully...study it carefully!"
Wright, who planned to study it more carefully, did not continue to talk nonsense with Fudge, but directly operated through the maze gem.
Under his manipulation, the phantom in the air turned into thick black mist and merged into the ring worn by Fudge.
Used to deal with anything that could happen at any time, including Fudge himself.
……
Black Mansion!
The next morning, Harry, Sirius and others returned early.
At this time, Wright was enjoying his breakfast!
Seeing Sirius and Lupin who were obviously tired, he asked meaningfully:
"Something big happened last night!"
Before they could speak, Harry was very surprised and said to Wright:
"How did you know something big happened? The Death Eaters showed up yesterday and we also saw Minister Fudge."
"You don't know, he's so handsome..."
Listening to Harry's praise, Wright picked up the Daily Prophet on the dining table without changing his expression and said:
"It's really exaggerated. It's almost like calling the wizarding world a 'pill'."
After working in the woods for most of the night and finding no information, Sirius, who was full of anger, began to complain:
"These bastards, I knew they wouldn't stay still."
"These damn reporters only know how to make up stories!"
Sirius, who was very dissatisfied with the reporter, walked up and took the newspaper from Light.
He looked it up with a grim look on his face, and what caught his eye was a large, bold title:
"Terrorist attack at the Quidditch World Cup!"
Right below the title, there is a picture of the activity that takes up half the size of a newspaper, playing in a loop:
'The Dark Mark rose in the woods, exploded in the air, and turned into a large green skull.'
The following content directly criticizes magic's inaction...
It is an international disgrace that criminals are still at large...
The writer of this article is still extremely vicious: Rita Skeeter.
Sirius, who read the entire report but knew part of the truth, could hardly control his facial expression.
The corners of his mouth twitched a little, and he said to Wright with a smile:
"It's okay! It's not as exaggerated as it says here. They are just minor problems."
"Moreover, there will be attacks, most likely caused by internal strife within the Ministry.
"It has little to do with us, don't take it too seriously!"
Lupin, who had finished reading the newspaper with Sirius, nodded repeatedly to indicate that he was right.
After seeing that they had all put down their things, Wright took out a document from the Ministry of Magic from the dining table and handed it over:
"Oh right! There's also a document from the Ministry of Magic for Regulus."
"I heard from the messenger that the Minister of Magic seems to be inviting Regulus to join the Auror Office."
"What?! Minister Fudge invited me to become an Auror!"
Regulus, who was suddenly called, was confused for a moment and took the document handed to him by Wright in a daze.
Harry, Sirius and Lupin all looked confused, but they waited quietly for Regulus to finish reading the documents.
After Regulus finished reading the document, Sirius stepped forward and asked with great concern:
"What's going on? What's going on?!"
Regulus also had a puzzled look on his face, and spoke with hesitation:
"You did invite me to be an Auror. If you agree, you can start work tomorrow!"
"Okay!"
Harry jumped for joy after knowing that his family had successfully become 'civil servants'.
But he, Sirius and Lupin all had very conflicted expressions.
The main reason is that Light once said that Regulus's magical talent would decrease.
In this situation, facing the vicious dark wizards, or even the Death Eaters who have already emerged, is very risky.
Harry was also infected by the silent environment and quietly looked at the three adults who were in deep thought.
"Regulus, why don't we just forget it!"
"It's not just that your magic talent is lacking, but also because of what you did before. I'm afraid..."
Sirius was the first to break the silence and looked at Regulus who was extremely moved.
Lupin said nothing, but agreed with Sirius.
After all, no one knows better than these veterans who have fought Death Eaters head-on how crazy, cruel and ruthless those guys are.
After hearing his brother's advice, Regulus's originally vague impulse became even more intense.
After a long silence, he looked at Sirius with a determined gaze and said slowly: "I have decided to become an Auror!"
"I want to make up for the wrongs I've done, even if I'm acknowledged by the Ministry, I can't admit it myself."
"Those innocent wizards who have been killed, the families that have been destroyed..."
"This is all my sin, I have to pay for it myself!"
