Chapter 587 Fudge’S Great Success

This sudden battle shocked everyone.

Minister Fudge looked panicked, but Percy Weasley took the opportunity to show his loyalty. He stood in front of Fudge with a determined look on his face and said loudly: "Minister, I'm here to protect you!"

Fudge looked at Percy in front of him, jumped up and patted Percy on the shoulder, saying, "Weasley, I know you are the most loyal."

Percy seemed to be trembling with excitement, and immediately pulled out his wand, as if he wanted to attack Dumbledore.

However, Dumbledore was one step ahead of him. He waved his wand lightly, and Percy felt an invisible force hit him. His eyes rolled up and he fell backward, pressing Fudge behind him to the ground.

At the same time, Percy's lips touched Fudge's rough bark-like cheeks heavily, and then slid along Fudge's facial muscles to his neck, leaving a wet trail, which made Fudge couldn't help but feel... A wave of nausea.

"Minister of Protection!" Umbridge's eyes widened, and his sharp voice cut through the chaotic air.

The surrounding Aurors heard the sound and rushed towards Fudge's direction. However, Umbridge himself quickly retreated at a speed that was extremely inappropriate for his status, as if he was afraid of being affected by the melee.

With a mirror in her mind, Dumbledore's intention at this moment could not be clearer - he wanted to violently resist arrest.

And in this matter, if there was anyone who was hated by Dumbledore the most, it was undoubtedly herself.

After all, this whole thing, as well as the previous Lupin incident, were carefully planned by her. If Dumbledore wanted to take advantage of the chaos to take revenge, she knew she couldn't resist, so she decided to protect herself first.

Dumbledore waved his wand, and every time he pointed at it, someone would fall down.

However, the curses that the Aurors cast at Dumbledore were blocked by the shield formed by the [iron armor] in front of him, and the collision produced colorful brilliance as brilliant as fireworks.

Fudge's cheeks were slack and twitching unconsciously at this moment. He embarrassedly wiped the traces of drool on his face with his sleeve, knocked Percy Weasley to the ground, and then struggled to get up, his eyes full of horror and anger.

The flash of magic spells swirled around the room, and the flying magic spells hit the wall with a deafening sound.

Several portraits shouted, Fawkes screamed, and the air was filled with dust and chaos.

Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic brought by Fudge, and the Aurors he brought were knocked away and fell heavily to the ground, groaning in pain.

Umbridge, who had been hiding among the students, was also caught out by Dumbledore. She screamed and flailed, trying to grab something to stop herself from floating.

However, everything was in vain, she could only spin helplessly in the air, and was finally bought to the feet of the Minister of Magic Fudge.

"Cornelly Oswald Fudge, Dolores Jane Umbridge, I will leave this school." Dumbledore's voice echoed in the empty corridors, "But I do not want you to do anything inappropriate to this group of students. Punishment. Otherwise, I will come to you personally to correct your wrong decision."

Umbridge stood aside, her body trembling in the fear caused by Dumbledore, her face flushed, as if the blood in her body was boiling.

Her eyes widened and she nodded desperately, as if this was the only way to express her submission and awe to Dumbledore.

This was the first time she understood so intuitively that power seemed so insignificant in the face of absolute power.

Perhaps because she had stayed in peaceful times for a long time, she always thought that her power and status allowed her to do whatever she wanted, and she was only slightly in awe of a powerful wizard like Dumbledore, but now she understood that facing a strong man like Dumbledore, all her The tactics and means seem so ridiculous and weak.

But at the same time, she not only deepened her fear of Dumbledore, but even became a little more afraid of Levin and Voldemort.

Fudge also stared at Dumbledore blankly, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

He had always thought that he was one of the most powerful people in the world, but now, facing the threat of Dumbledore, he could only let out a low whimper. His body seemed to have lost all power, and he could only stand helplessly. land.

Dumbledore no longer paid attention to them, but turned to the group of young wizards he was proud of, with a warm and firm smile on his face.

In any case, what these children did really moved him.

"I won't hide." He waved to Harry and the others and said confidently, "I guarantee you, Fudge will soon wish he had never tried to kick me out of school.

After saying that, he waved to Fox to circle around in the corridor. The beautiful phoenix danced in the air. Its golden feathers shone dazzlingly in the light.

Then, it flew low over Dumbledore.

Dumbledore raised one hand and grasped the phoenix's long golden tail tightly. With a flash of flame, the two of them disappeared into the air.

Early the next morning, the Hogwarts castle was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, as if foreshadowing the coming unrest.

"Everyone, come and see, something big happened last night!" A young wizard's voice sounded in the common room, attracting everyone to gather around.

"Yesterday, the Ministry of Magic discovered an illegal assembly organization in Hogwarts - Dumbledore's Army!" On the magic TV in front of him, Fleur was reporting in her crisp language.

"The former Headmaster of Hogwarts - Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore confessed to this matter," Fleur said, "This was a conspiracy organized by him to plot to subvert Britain. The rebel organization of the Ministry of Magic. And after Dumbledore was arrested on the order of Minister Fudge, he defeated all the Aurors and "violently resisted arrest... The following is the video material recorded by our television crew at the scene."

0......Please give me flowers......

Everyone listened in shock and looked at the picture displayed on the TV screen.

It was a deliberately edited video that completely avoided Dumbledore's warning or benevolent behavior.

In the picture, Dumbledore calmly admitted that he had organized the army, and then there was a picture of Dumbledore resisting arrest by force. He waved his wand and knocked down Ministry of Magic officials and Aurors one by one. He was a hypocrite who had torn off his usual disguise. , he is no longer the respected principal before, but looks like a complete dangerous person.

"How is this possible?" A young wizard shouted in disbelief.

"How could Headmaster Dumbledore be such a person?" another student muttered.

Public opinion was abuzz, and the entire Hogwarts Castle was shaken by the news. No matter where you went, you could hear people talking about Dumbledore's escape.

0..........

Those young wizards who participated in the D.A. knew full well that Dumbledore took the blame for them, or more specifically for Harry Potter.

They knew that Dumbledore did this so that they could avoid being expelled and instead be placed in solitary confinement. It was to protect them from Umbridge's more excessive corporal punishment.

And wizards who didn't know the truth, in the wave of information that was deliberately deleted and guided, began to believe that Dumbledore was a hidden danger and conspirator. They believed that Dumbledore was by no means as amiable as he appeared on the surface, and that his purpose in forming an army was to secretly expand his power.

Even some wizards who had remained neutral or had a favorable impression of Dumbledore began to waver.

They did not doubt that Dumbledore really wanted to rebel, but after watching the video of Dumbledore admitting the fact, they began to feel that Dumbledore was essentially the same as Fudge, Umbridge and other Ministry of Magic officials. They were just politicians with their own agendas. .

As Dumbledore's reputation plummeted, Jaina chose to stand by and watch, and the Wizengamot's impeachment of Dumbledore suddenly lost its core strength and became as helpless as duckweed. This reduces the threat Fudge faces to almost its lowest point.

In this way, Fudge's originally precarious position was miraculously stabilized after his desperate move!

As a result, those employees who had been loyal to him gathered around Fudge again. Director Huang of the Public Information Department, who liked to arrange Fudge behind his back, tried his best to show his loyalty in front of him, while Stan, the new editor of "Wizard Weekly", resolutely Resigned and ran to Fudge and after bursting into tears, asked for forgiveness.

Fudge seemed to have returned to the peak of his power, and the feeling of being surrounded by stars made him intoxicated for a long time. .
