Chapter 236 What does the life and death of the people have to do with me, Cornelius Fudge? !

Not only that, after Sirius Black broke into Hogwarts Castle, another "rumor" suddenly spread among the people, that is, Peter Pettigrew was not dead, and Sirius Black was the real hero.

Although this so-called rumor was so absurd in the eyes of wizards, the rumor that suddenly spread among people at some unknown time made many people doubt the truth of the case that year.

One thing that has been questioned and criticized by wizards is that Sirius Black was sent to Azkaban Prison without a formal trial. This procedural loophole made wizards wonder whether the so-called truth was true. .

If the spread of this rumor only gave rise to doubts in the minds of wizards, then an article written by "Anonymous" published in Xenophilius Lovegood's "The Quibbler" "Breeds Darkness" "The Ministry of Magic can't tell the difference between heroes and criminals", which aroused the emotions of wizards.

The article, titled "The Ministry of Magic Breeds Darkness, Can't Distinguish Heroes from Criminals," uses an extreme conspiracy theory to believe that Peter Pettigrew was the criminal back then and framed the blame on the innocent Sirius Black. This article is full of distorted facts and exaggerated words, which led many readers to subconsciously believe that this article was written by Rita Skeeter.

However, this article, which seems extremely absurd and imprecise, actually inserts many truths about what happened back then in many places that are not noticeable.

For example, Peter Pettigrew was not bombed with only one finger left, but the golden cicada escaped from his shell at the cost of one finger; another example is that the Potter family temporarily changed the secret keeper of the Fidelity Charm at the suggestion of Sirius Black. He killed Peter Pettigrew, and Sirius Black took the initiative to plead guilty after the incident because he blamed himself and was sent to Azkaban Prison.

However, even if these things are true, under the cover of the absurd statements throughout the article, this extremely absurd statement will naturally not be recognized by people.

Rather than saying that the wizards' emotions were triggered because of the content recorded in this article, it is better to say that the conspiracy theory made the wizards pay no attention to the procedures when enforcing the law by the Ministry of Magic, and threw wizards into Aziz without trial. He became increasingly dissatisfied with the situation in a hellish place like Kaban Prison.

Many wizards have appealed to the Ministry of Magic to re-examine the case of Sirius Black, which has made every official of the Ministry of Magic very anxious.

Retrial? ! Sirius Black hasn't been caught yet, and they're going to retry him with a hammer? !

Not only the officials of the Ministry of Magic, but also the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, could not sit still. If this matter cannot be properly resolved, I am afraid that his reputation will be greatly reduced.

Even after he abdicates, he will be dubbed the "most unpopular Minister of Magic"!

Thinking of this, Fudge couldn't stay quietly in his office.

In these days, Fudge took his subordinates to Hogwarts Castle several times to meet with Dumbledore, requesting that dementors be allowed to station in Hogwarts again so that the criminal Sirius Black could be hunted down more quickly.

But there is no doubt that his request was rejected by Dumbledore.

Those damn dementors invaded the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch a few months ago and almost killed the students. How could Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, tolerate these damn things? What about things entering the realm of Hogwarts again? !

Fudge and Dumbledore negotiated to no avail, and eventually the two parties broke up on bad terms.

However, even if Fudge cannot send dementors into Hogwarts, there is still no problem in letting them station in Hogsmeade Village and patrol the area around Hogwarts.

However, after a large number of dementors moved in, the residents of Hogsmeade continued to complain.

But Fudge didn't care about this. As long as he made the vast majority of the people realize that he was concerned about the capture of Sirius Black and made the vast majority of the people no longer dissatisfied with him, then Will suffice.

As for the daily lives of the hundreds of villagers in Hogsmeade, what does that have to do with Cornelius Fudge? !

After the dementors settled in Hogsmeade, the little wizards at Hogwarts Castle were less willing to go to Hogsmeade on weekends. After all, they really didn't want to deal with those ghosts.

Even if some little wizards really need to go to the shops in Hogsmeade Village to buy things, they will leave as soon as they finish buying things, rather than staying in Hogsmeade Village for a long time.

This has greatly reduced the bar business in Hogsmeade Village, especially the Three Broomsticks Pub and Mrs. Puddieffe's Teahouse. Compared with usual business, the business can be said to be nothing.

The Three Broomsticks Bar still had local residents of Hogsmeade to take care of its business, while Mrs. Puddieff's Tea House, whose audience was young couples from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, was on the verge of closure.

After all, no one would want to date a couple in a place infested with dementors.

They would rather sneak out at night and have a tryst in the forbidden forest outside Hogwarts Castle than go to Hogsmeade openly.

…

While all the changes are happening outside, Hogwarts Castle remains peaceful.

Even though Sirius Black broke into Hogwarts Castle not long ago, the worried little wizards gradually calmed down under the increasing patrols of the professors.

On this day, in the Care of Magical Creatures class outside Hogwarts Castle, Newt was introducing magical creatures called invisible beasts to the third-year Gryffindor and Slytherin wizards.

During this period of study, the Ministry of Magic's danger level classification of magical animals taught by Newt has gradually been upgraded from magical animals with a danger level of XX and danger level XXX to magical animals with a danger level of XXXX.

Of course, even though Newt showed the young wizards magical animals with a danger level of XXXX, most of these magical animals were docile and peaceful magical animals in the same danger level.

The Invisible Beast is one of them.

The Invisible Beast is a kind of herbivorous animal with a gentle temperament and a preference for tranquility. Its appearance looks a bit like an elegant ape-man, with a pair of large black eyes often hidden in its hair, showing a touch of sadness.

The entire body of the invisible beast is covered with long fine hairs that are as shiny as silk.

The fur of the Invisible Beast is very valuable because its hair can be used to weave invisibility cloaks. (End of chapter)
