Chapter 306 You are so bold, but I like it

What we seek in life is nothing more than fame and fortune.

For Fudge, his pursuit of fame has reached an extremely obsessive level.

Therefore, he would seize every opportunity to promote himself. He wanted to become the most famous Minister of Magic in the history of the wizarding world.

What's more, he had only been Minister of Magic for less than four years and wanted to gain more political capital so that he could be re-elected in the next election.

After all, the taste of power was too wonderful, and the scenery of the position of Minister of Magic was too charming, and Fudge had been deeply intoxicated by it.

However, although Fudge was excited, he still had some concerns in his heart.

"Sebastian, if we make all the details of this case public as you say and attract the attention of all wizards, wouldn't that be an admission that the Ministry of Magic was wrong before?"

"Just admit your mistakes, Minister." Sebastian smiled and then pulled his arm out of Fudge's grasp imperceptibly.

"Not only that, you'd better take all the blame on yourself and say that this unjust case was caused entirely by your inadequate management as the minister."

What words!

What does this have to do with me?!

Fudge's face darkened and he glanced at Sebastian in shame and anger.

This is a terrible idea. I came to you for advice so I could build a good reputation, not just throw my reputation on the ground for everyone to step on.

"Minister, have you ever heard of the Muggle term 'repentance'?"

Sin yourself?

Fudge shook his head. He grew up in the wizarding world and didn't know much about Muggle culture.

He had never heard of such an unfamiliar word.

"Minister, this is a method used by ancient Eastern emperors." Sebastian explained slowly.

"When the regimes of those emperors were in crisis, they would issue documents to the whole world, in which they would reflect on themselves or examine their own mistakes, so as to calm the public anger and win the hearts of the people."

"This incident is bound to cause a huge public outcry in the wizarding world and will inevitably arouse the anger of the masses. Minister, you can use this method to overcome the current crisis."

The Emperor's Methods...

Does Sebastian think he has the demeanor of an emperor?

However, it is really difficult for me to apologize in public.

Fudge felt a little annoyed, as he knew very well how big an impact this incident would have.

He was wrongly accused and spent more than ten years in Azkaban. People are afraid that something similar will happen to them.

This scandal in the Ministry of Magic is too difficult to handle. I would rather deal with the problem as it is difficult to handle and just deal with the person who caused the problem.

If Sebastian couldn't explain it clearly, he would just try to make the case a mess.

Seeing Fudge's changing expression, Sebastian spoke softly.

"Minister, it often takes a lot of courage for a person to admit his mistakes."

"For a superior like you, this kind of courage will be a good quality like a gem."

"Think about it, were you the one who made the judgment on this unjust case?"

of course not!

Fudge shook his head firmly. "That has nothing to do with me. I was only the Director of the Department of Magical Disasters at the time. I had no right to intervene in these matters."

"That's right," Sebastian said, "I believe many people also know that you were not the one who judged the case."

"Everyone knows that you are innocent in this matter."

"So, when you take the blame on yourself, the public may scold you at first, but after scolding you, they will just think you are a good minister with courage and responsibility."

"Even the former minister who handled this case will appreciate your efforts,"

"This..." Fudge hesitated, "I'm afraid that people won't appreciate my efforts."

It's easy!

Sebastian waved his hand and said confidently: "I have a public opinion war here to help you."

When it comes to public opinion warfare, there are many ways to do it.

Sebastian explained everything to Fudge one by one.

The first thing is to let the Ministry of Magic make the details of the case public, let all media report on it, and attract the attention and heated discussion of the entire wizarding community.

After the incident had become thoroughly heated, Fudge would step forward and personally try the case, restoring Sirius' reputation and punishing Peter.

Afterwards, he would brazenly take the blame on himself and wait for the condemnation from the entire wizarding world.

At this time, Fudge must keep calm, ignore the outside world's abuse, and do some practical things in a down-to-earth manner.

For example, arrange for people from the Law Enforcement Department to re-examine the cases of the prisoners of Azkaban, so that people in the entire wizarding community can see the courage and determination of the Ministry of Magic to change.

Wait until this time and arrange for the media to officially come on board and begin praising Fudge's qualities and achievements.

"Minister, by then, with the help of the media, all the employees of the Ministry of Magic will see clearly that you have endured humiliation for the Ministry of Magic, and all the people will understand your noble character."

"No matter how harshly the people scolded you before, once they realize their mistakes, they will praise your great achievements tenfold or a hundredfold."

"Who knows, there might be a report comparing you to Gryffindor, the founder of Hogwarts, saying that you have the same fearless courage as Gryffindor."

On par with Gryffindor!!!

Merlin's beard, you're really bold in your imagination, but I really like it!

Fudge gasped, and couldn't have been more pleased with Sebastian's arrangement.

He calmed down his excitement a little and deliberately showed an embarrassed expression.

"This title is too big, isn't it a bit inappropriate? Besides, reexamining the prisoners' cases is a huge undertaking, and the employees of the Law Enforcement Department will definitely be resentful by then."

"Besides, Amelia Burns, the director of the Law Enforcement Department, is not someone who is easy to talk to. She may not necessarily cooperate with my work."

"You are worrying too much, Minister," Sebastian curled his lips, "You are the first Minister of Magic to admit your mistakes in public since ancient times."

"This kind of courage is unprecedented, not to say unprecedented, so it is not an exaggeration to compare you to Gryffindor. Don't worry, I will arrange this matter and I will definitely satisfy you."

"As for Amelia, I have some personal connections with her, so let me be your go-between and persuade her to cooperate with you, the Minister."

Hearing this, Fudge smiled and patted Sebastian on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Sebastian."

"If you need my help in the future, please feel free to ask. And as for Burns, please tell her for me. I will definitely remember her favor."

The two smiled at each other and walked back to the crowd.

By this time, the Aurors had finished the interrogation. After all, Peter was extremely cooperative and answered every question without any effort at all.

"Minister, we have found out everything. The traitor is indeed Peter Pettigrew. What do you think..."

Fudge found a good angle facing the cameras of many reporters and said, "In that case, bring Peter Pettigrew back to the Ministry of Magic."

"As for Sirius Black..." Fudge looked at Sirius and said righteously.

"The Ministry of Magic will not arrest you for the time being, but before the final Wizengamot trial, you must remain on call to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic's in-depth investigation."

"Don't worry, everyone." Fudge glanced at the reporters and Hogwarts professors and said in a firm voice.

"The Ministry of Magic is a righteous Ministry of Magic. It will never wrongly accuse a good person, nor will it let a bad person go."
