Chapter 209 The Foley Family’s Book Collection

"What brought you to this nook and cranny, Minister Fudge?"

Ms. Rosmerta inquired.

As the operator of the largest bar in Hogsmeade, Ms. Rosmerta is always well-informed, and most of her sources are naturally the drinkers who drink at the Three Broomsticks.

After hearing Ms. Rosmerta's words, Fudge's fat lower body twisted on the chair. He seemed to be checking whether there was anyone eavesdropping around him.

Then Fudge whispered: "What else, dear, is it not Sirius Black? I assume you also heard what happened at Hogwarts Castle on Halloween?"

"I heard some rumors." Ms. Rosmerta nodded.

Hearing this, Professor McGonagall looked at Hagrid angrily: "Did you tell the whole bar, Hagrid?"

Apart from Hagrid, a guy who grew up drinking veritaserum, she couldn't think of anyone else who would tell these scandalous things to outsiders.

"Do you think Black is still around here, Minister?" Ms. Rosmerta asked quietly.

Fudge said calmly: "I believe he is still there."

"Did you know that the dementors have searched my bar twice?" Ms. Rosmerta's tone was a bit sharp. "These damn ghosts scared all my customers away! This has a great impact on my business." Bad, Minister!”

"Rosmerta, dear, I don't like them either," Fudge said slightly awkwardly, and he showed off his shameless specialty, "But this is a necessary precaution. Regarding what happened to you, I say Very sorry."

"And you see, I just met a couple of Dementors who were very angry with Dumbledore because he wouldn't let them on the castle grounds."

Fudge tried to shift the blame onto Dumbledore.

"I can't even look at it," Professor McGonagall said angrily, "How can we teach when those horrible things are wandering around?"

"Yes, yes!" Professor Flitwick said angrily.

"However, they are here to protect everyone from more terrifying threats, and we all know what Black is capable of!" Fudge argued.

After hearing Fudge's words, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick and Ms. Rosmerta fell silent.

After a while, Ms. Rosmerta said thoughtfully: "You know, I still can't believe it. Of all the people who have taken refuge in the dark forces, Sirius Black is the one I least expected... I mean, I remember what he was like when he was at Hogwarts. If you had told me then what he would become, I would have just said you drank too much mead."

"You don't know half of it, Rosmerta. Few people know the worst of what he did," Fudge said gruffly.

Ms. Rosmerta’s voice was filled with curiosity. “You mean, worse than killing so many innocent people?”

"Of course," Fudge replied, "I can't believe it. What could be worse?"

"You said you remembered him from Hogwarts, Ms. Rosmerta," Professor McGonagall said softly. "Do you remember who his best friend was?"

"Of course I remember," Ms. Rosmerta chuckled. "I never saw them not together, did you? The few times they were here... oh, they made me laugh, like they were playing a double act. , Sirius Black and James Potter!”

In this way, these people unknowingly revealed that Sirius Black might have betrayed the Potter family.

Linn's eyes moved from Fudge's stupid pig to Harry. He saw the wine glass in Harry's hand falling to the floor, and his eyes seemed to become a little dull.

"You said, is it really okay for us to keep Harry in the dark like this?"

Irina leaned next to Linn. She had already finished the butterbeer in her glass and was watching with relish Fudge and Ms. Rosmerta telling all the secrets that should not be told like a double act.

Linn chuckled lightly. He looked at Irina beside him and said calmly: "Don't say you are like us. If you can make Harry have a brain like Hermione, I will be willing to reveal the matter to him. Instead of hiding everything.”

Irina nodded helplessly.

Although with the help of her and Hermione, Harry is now much smarter than in the original book, but Harry is still prone to getting carried away when faced with some things.

Therefore, in order to prevent Harry from messing up the situation, it was better for them to let Harry follow the original process.

Just as Linn and Irina were talking quietly, a deafening shout came from not far away.

"Despicable, dirty traitor!"

As Hagrid shouted, the entire bar fell silent.

Everyone in the bar turned their attention to Hagrid.

Irina looked in the direction of Hagrid with a speechless expression. With such a big mouth, why would she worry about not being able to pass on the secret? !

After a while, Professor McGonagall and others left the Three Broomsticks Bar one after another.

And not long after a few people left, Harry and the others also left.

Harry looked devastated when he left, obviously having been deeply affected by Ms. Rosmerta's conversation with Fudge.

Watching these two groups of people leave, Linn shrugged to Irina and said, "We've finished watching this farce, it's time for us to leave."

Irina nodded slightly and put down the butterbeer glass in her hand that was refilled and then finished.

"By the way, do you have anything else to do for Christmas?"

After paying the bill, Linn turned around and asked.

Irina shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I guess I'll stay in Hogwarts Castle for the holidays."

Hearing this, Linn said with a smile: "How about we go out three days before Christmas? Yesterday, Irvine invited us to visit the Foley family and took us to visit the Foley family's book collection."

Since Irvin has officially joined Linn and Irina's camp, it is a meaningful thing for Irvin to be able to help Linn and Irina.

For wizards, the collection of books from pure-blood families is absolutely attractive.

After all, Linn and Irina have benefited a lot from the Rolle family's collection of books on black magic.

Lynn is looking forward to what kind of magic books the Foley family will have.

"The Foley family's book collection?! But, will Irwin's family allow us to look through the Foley family's book collection? These things should be the heritage of your pure-blood family, right?"

Irina said with some doubt.

Lynn was willing to share the Rohr family's book collection with her because they were best friends and they came from the same hometown, which made Lynn's trust in Irina almost unreserved.

But as for Irwin, even if the other party has joined their camp, these alone are not enough to make the other party proactively provide his family's information.
