Chapter 334: Plans Progress Steadily

Harry, who had never seen Dumbledore so serious, felt a little frightened.

"The man who was arrested is just a ridiculous dark wizard!"

"We will not accept information obtained through torture with truth serum. There are many ways to falsify memories."

Facing the stubborn Fudge, Dumbledore's tone became sharp:

"I can tell whether what he said is true or false!"

"He is indeed a Death Eater, the one who helped Voldemort return from the dead and paved the way for his resurrection."

Fudge stared at Dumbledore with an expression of complete disbelief:

"Don't be ridiculous! Dumbledore!"

"Everyone knows that the mysterious man is dead. I also know what you want. Don't try to attract attention here."

Wright did not speak, but watched with interest the argument between Dumbledore and Fudge:

"Tonight, when Harry touched the Triwizard Cup, he was sent straight to Voldemort."

"Not only did he witness the return of Voldemort, but a group of students also saw this fact!"

Hearing this, Fudge showed an extremely strange smile on his face, like a fox who had stolen a chicken.

He raised his hand and pointed at Cedric who was being examined, and said:

"It's just that there are so many people, so it's worthy of suspicion!"

"Look, the student who was just killed is now in the infirmary, okay?"

"It's a drama, like some kind of trick show."

Dumbledore ignored Fudge's accusation that he was acting, and explained in an extremely firm tone:

"Cornelly, I listened to the confession of the Death Eater and also heard what happened after Harry touched the Triwizard Cup."

"I also saw the scenes broadcast from the TV. Everything makes sense!"

"Besides, we haven't arranged any prank shows."

"Excuse me, Dumbledore!"

"We simply cannot believe the news that there is no evidence to prove it..."

At this moment, old Barty suddenly interrupted Fudge and unexpectedly did not stand on his side:

"Minister Fudge, I think you'd better take it more seriously!"

"We have all seen the existence of Death Eaters, and I don't think they are fake."

Sirius glanced at old Barty in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to ask for support.

Fudge seemed to be offended, and turned to Old Batty and said coldly:

"The Death Eaters you mentioned have all long been declared innocent, and some are still working in the Ministry of Magic."

"Bucky Crouch, you need to know your place and don't just speak out your guesses!"

"You are the Director of the Ministry of Magic. Don't always talk about intuition and intuition."

"And I think this is the real flaw. That person is just repeating the name that was judged thirteen years ago."

"I even have reason to believe that they are taking revenge against innocent people."

Hearing Fudge's well-reasoned arguments, Wright was completely shocked. He didn't expect this guy to be so eloquent.

Dumbledore did not seem to expect Fudge to be so tough, and could only say helplessly:

"Cornelly, Voldemort has returned, whether you admit it or not."

"We must prepare as soon as possible to avoid a situation that cannot be undone."

"The Dementors guarding Azkaban are a time bomb. We should deal with it..."

Upon hearing Dumbledore's plan, Fudge immediately became furious and interrupted him sharply:

"Dealing with Dementors? Are you kidding me?"

"I'll be kicked out of the minister's office as soon as I suggest this!"

"What wizard doesn't know that it's because of the Dementors in Azkaban that they can sleep well at night!"

"Cornelly, the Dementors are Voldemort's most dangerous and loyal minions."

"Not only are they dangerous, they are also guarding Voldemort's other minions. This doesn't make sense!"

Dumbledore directly refuted Fudge's defense and warned him seriously:

"Dementors will only submit to Voldemort, who can provide them with enough power and pleasure."

"What do you have to offer them, an island or a bunch of desperate Death Eaters?"

Fudge closed his eloquent mouth, as if he could not refute.

"Connelly, one more thing!"

"The Ministry needs to send someone to deliver a letter to the giants."

"They are also one of the allies that can be won over. We can't let him fall to Voldemort."

"You've got to be kidding me! Sending a letter to a giant?"

Hearing Dumbledore's request, Fudge was possessed by Cao and waved his arms and shouted:

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Ordinary wizards hate giants to the core. If they knew that I was seeking peace with the giants, I would definitely be destroyed."

After Fudge's exaggerated actions and words, the entire infirmary fell silent.

The Diggorys and Madam Pomfrey hid in a corner, pretending they hadn't heard anything.

Wright stood beside Harry's bed, scanning the people present, selecting those who were suitable to advance the 'Magic Realm Plan'.

Old Barty was standing faintly beside Sirius, as if they had some kind of intersection.

Snape put his hands together, wondering what he was thinking about.

Harry stared at Fudge, as if he was looking at a nagging man who couldn't make anything clear no matter how he talked.

After a long silence, Dumbledore looked at Fudge, who was stiffening his neck, and said in a low voice:

"Cornelly, if you choose to ignore Voldemort's return."

"Then we have nothing to talk about. I can't wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep."

Dumbledore's calm voice seemed to remind Fudge of some unpleasant past events, and he roared angrily:

"Dumbledore, you're always like this!"

"You look so high and mighty and you see through everything. Why should I obey your orders and commands?"

"Half-blood giants, werewolves, retired Aurors, and even banned books that were expressly prohibited by the Ministry of Magic."

"I choose to remain silent, but that doesn't mean I know nothing."

"But how did you repay me? Uniting the pure bloods, Voldemort's return..."

Dumbledore seemed to be frightened by Fudge's sudden outburst. After a moment of silence, he slowly said:

"I'm so sorry, Connelly!"

"But you should know that Voldemort's return is a fact, and we must be more fully prepared."

"If I can help it, I don't want to go through another war."

"He won't come back, he definitely won't come back!"

Fudge didn't seem to know how to answer Dumbledore and just kept muttering to himself.

The whole person looks like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand.

As everyone was waiting for the result, Fudge spoke with a cold face:

"I don't think Voldemort will return. You just want to understand this news to achieve your goal."

"I won't agree to that!"
