Chapter 68
The moment Fudge saw the scene in the house, his mind went blank.
It was over. The thing he was most worried about happened!
Scrimgeour actually dared to torture Argus!
And he was caught on the spot!
He couldn't explain it even if he wanted to!
These people are all teachers at Hogwarts. They can't tolerate any sand in their eyes!
How could they allow their students to suffer such grievances!
Scrimgeour didn't expect someone to suddenly break in, and he was stunned for a while.
"Scrimgeour, what have you done!"
"What the hell is going on!"
Fudge wanted to bite him to death, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a word from his teeth.
"Expelliarmus!"
Snape noticed that there was something wrong with the potion in Scrimgeour's hand, and he would never say a word if he could take action.
Scrimgeour was caught off guard and was hit hard.
"Come here quickly!"
With a wave of his hand, the potion fell steadily into his hand.
He opened the bottle cap, sniffed it gently, and his face became extremely ugly.
"What is it, Severus?" Dumbledore asked expressionlessly.
"Veritaserum!"
These three words made Fudge's heart completely cold.
Now, not only the four deans of Hogwarts fell into a rage, but even Lucius and others looked at Scrimgeour with something wrong in their eyes.
"Minister Fudge, we only found out today that the Ministry of Magic has been preparing this thing all year round!"
The patriarch of the Parkinson family spoke in a gloomy tone.
"Mr. Parkinson, listen to my explanation!"
"I think Minister Fudge had better explain why he used this thing on our students!" Professor McGonagall said coldly.
"I...I..."
Fudge had no idea that Scrimgeour would use this thing, and he didn't know how to explain it even if he wanted to!
With such a big black pot, not to mention him, if it gets out, the entire British Ministry of Magic will be questioned!
He and Scrimgeour didn't get along well, and he was already furious for taking the blame for someone else!
Professor McGonagall's continuous questioning made him even more angry!
But it was not easy to offend anyone in front of him, and Fudge glared at the Aurors around him.
"Don't you have eyes!"
"Let go of Mr. Grindelwald!"
Several Aurors were also frightened and hurried away, fearing that they would be implicated.
Mrs. Molly stepped forward quickly and hugged Argus to comfort him.
"Good boy, it's okay, it's okay!"
A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of Argus' mouth.
The next second, his eyes were red, and he hugged Mrs. Molly tightly, as if he had suffered a great injustice!
The crying child gets the milk!
If he doesn't take this opportunity to make a fortune, wouldn't this trip to the Ministry of Magic be in vain?
His action is a hint!
It implies that he has been wronged, that he has been treated unfairly!
As expected, the eyes of the people around him changed immediately.
Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore, Dumbledore glanced at Argus, and spoke to Fudge.
"Cornelly, I need an explanation."
As the headmaster of Hogwarts, he has his own bottom line.
No matter what, he must maintain the safety of students!
And the behavior of the British Ministry of Magic has touched his red line!
Fudge took a deep breath.
His eyes turned to Scrimgeour.
"Scrimgeour, tell me, who allowed you to use this kind of thing on an eleven-year-old student!"
Scrimgeour opened his mouth and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Madam Molly.
"I think it might be better to let Tonks speak."
"What do you think? Minister!"
The word "Minister" was very heavy, obviously with a mocking meaning.
"Let me go!"
Tonks broke free from the restraints, moved her wrists slightly, and told everything that happened after she came to the office.
After listening, everyone became even more angry!
Many hot-tempered wizards have already taken out their wands!
"Not allowed to eat, using force to intimidate a young wizard who has just enrolled!"
"So this is how the British Ministry of Magic does things!"
"I'm really enlightened this time!"
Even Professor Sprout, the kindest of the four deans, was trembling with anger at Scrimgeour's behavior.
His fingers tightly grasped the wand!
As if he was going to attack in the next second!
Professor McGonagall still retained some rationality, stood in front of Professor Sprout, and pulled her sleeve.
Fudge forced a smile
, and said to Professor Sprout: "I'm really sorry, Professor Sprout."
"The British Ministry of Magic will definitely give Hogwarts a satisfactory answer."
"But now, it's better for us to send Mr. Grindelwald to St. Mungo's Hospital for a check-up."
"In case there is any problem, it's better to treat it in time."
"That's right!" Mrs. Molly also realized this and hurriedly let go of Argus to check him.
She was relieved until she confirmed that he was not injured.
When she was about to send him to St. Mungo's Hospital for a careful check-up, Umbridge's sweet voice suddenly sounded.
"Minister!"
"I don't think it's convenient for Mr. Grindelwald to go out now."
"Get out! What's your business! Can you afford to delay Mr. Grindelwald's treatment!"
Fudge was angry, so he didn't give Umbridge a good face, and he immediately scolded her.
"Minister, there are many wizards in the hall looking at us eagerly. If they see Mr. Grindelwald being treated like this, they will probably make a scene again."
Fudge hesitated immediately after hearing the wizards gathered in the hall.
Yes, so many wizards at the door can't be easily sent away.
I promised them to let Argus come forward, but in this situation, if they really see Argus's appearance, they will definitely overturn the British Ministry of Magic!
By then, his position as minister will definitely end!
How can he accept this!
"You mean, for the reputation of your Ministry of Magic, you have to let Argus stay here and wait for death!"
Mrs. Molly was not polite, she hugged Argus and rushed out: "I'm going to send Argus to the hospital now, I want to see who dares to stop me!"
Arthur didn't say anything, just stood quietly on the other side of Argus.
The attitude is very obvious!
Whoever wants to take action, get past me first!
"Mrs. Molly!"
Argus suddenly spoke, broke free from Mrs. Molly's arms, and glanced at Lucius.
"I think it's better for me to go to the Ministry of Magic Hall to appease the wizards first."
"They have been waiting for too long. If I continue to stay, it will not only delay my time, but also waste the manpower and material resources of the Ministry of Magic."
"Anyway, I am not injured, so there is no rush."
Mrs. Molly had a complicated expression: "You kid, it's time to think about others!"
"Do you know that this is why you are bullied!"
Argus smiled: "It's okay, let Minister Fudge accompany me."
"Fudge? He can't! Or I..."
"Minister Fudge represents the Ministry of Magic. Only when the two of us are together, the wizards outside will believe it, and the impact on the Ministry of Magic will be minimized."
"I just don't know if Minister Fudge is willing to accompany me?"
"Yes, of course!" Fudge was afraid that Argus would go back on his word, so he nodded and agreed.
In a corner where no one could see, the corner of Agus's mouth raised a barely perceptible arc.
The first performance is over!
Now, let's get ready for the second performance!
