Chapter 573 Anger and Doubt

"George, Fred? What are you doing?"

Before the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic's Auror Office could ask questions, a red-haired man standing at the back of the crowd quickly walked to the front, glanced at the adult wizards lying on the ground around him, and looked at Gran in surprise. The two leading boys from Fendo Academy.

Immediately afterwards, Arthur Weasley quickly turned his head and waved towards Delis, who was about to draw out his wand.

"Wait a minute, this is my son! Mr. Minister, I told you...hey, these two boys."

The sadness and gloominess on Mr. Weasley's face had finally dissipated a little since he saw the wonderful performance of his sons. He turned back to look at Cornelius Fudge, who was full of curiosity, and quickly explained One sentence.

Unfortunately, Fudge was not in the mood to pay attention to the wonderful spells of some young wizards at this time. With his appearance, the wizards gradually turned their attention to him, and shouted at him as if they had found hope. .

"Mr. Minister, can we really get our money back?"

"It's a total of one hundred and thirteen gold galleons. Mr. Fudge, if you think of a way, you can get it back, right?!"

"Say something! Mr. Minister..."

Cornelius Fudge looked at the middle-aged wizards wailing on the ground and frowned a few times unconsciously.

You know, Fugui's entire wealth is now missing. Compared to those down-and-out wizards who lost only a hundred gold galleons, who can know the anger in his heart? Didn't he come today just to solve this matter?

After thinking for a few seconds and giving a simple instruction, Cornelius Fudge walked straight past the crowd without changing his expression.

"Delux, you and the wizards from the Auror office will handle the situation here as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Excellency Minister."

"Minerva, please work with the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic to handle this conflict."

Dumbledore smiled slightly, and turned his head and nodded towards Professor McGonagall, the vice-principal of Hogwarts, with pride almost overflowing from his eyes.

With the arrival of Ministry of Magic officials and professors, the conflict in front of the Quidditch pitch quickly subsided.

The experienced Aurors of the Ministry of Magic quickly took over the situation, controlled the wizards who were slightly out of control, and led them to a fixed area of ​​​​the venue for temporary placement... Of course, the wands were temporarily kept by the students.

They serve as collateral for trampling on the potato fields and will not be returned until everything is over and compensation is paid.

Since experiencing two garden wars with Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, even the naive Gryffindor little lion has begun to learn how to ask for spoils of war, or to be more accurate, it is called mental and property damage compensation. .

"The haunting Dark Lord, Peter Pettigrew... is really scary."

Cornelius Fudge glanced at the wizards who were taken away, sighed, and said with empathy and hatred.

These down-and-out wizards who were knocked down for attacking the Hogwarts students' vegetable garden were just one of the thousands of unfortunate people in the wizarding world who lost their money overnight. The same feeling pervaded the hearts of almost all the adult wizards present. .

The only difference is the amount of loss...

"I don't understand what you are talking about? Mr. Secretary Connelly."

Albus Dumbledore (played by Grindelwald)'s eyes flickered and he looked at the Minister of Magic beside him with a confused expression.

"These wizards...didn't they rush to Hogwarts to commemorate Lily and James and witness how Peter Pettigrew, who illegally mortgaged Hogwarts, was finally punished by the law...could it be that this Is there anything else I don’t know about? Frankly speaking, the number of people now completely exceeds my imagination.”

"This is another extremely complex case, Professor Dumbledore."

A strong murderous look appeared on Cornelius Fudge's face, and he gritted his teeth and said in a rough voice, "Compared to betraying James and Lily and mortgaging Hogwarts, this damn bastard may have done worse and worse things." Something ten times worse!"

Cornelius Fudge didn't have much doubt about Dumbledore's doubts.

After all, in his impression, the old wizard in Hogwarts Castle never paid attention to money matters, not to mention that the document signed by the registrant of "Knockturn Alley Mysterious Company" was also signed this morning. It was an important clue that had just been discovered by the Aurors, and it was even more impossible for Dumbledore to know how terrible things Peter Pettigrew had done.

"It's still hard for me to imagine that there is anything worse than plotting to destroy Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and betraying one's own friends and camp... Peter Pettigrew is only one person after all..."

More confusion appeared on Albus Dumbledore's face just in time, and while walking towards the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch that had been temporarily transformed into a giant public trial site, he asked Cornelius Fudge beside him.

The old man's voice was not loud, but at this distance, it was enough to be heard clearly by the core officials of the Ministry of Magic who were following Fudge, as well as some of the more peripheral news media who were holding magic props to record the developments.

For journalists in the magical world, a "hero" who came back from the dead reversed the case ten years later, set off a huge case in the magical world, and became a real street rat. This is simply a comparison. It would be even more breaking news if the Minister of Magic kissed a pig's butt - and it would probably be better if none of them suffered a financial loss as a result.

At the invitation of Mr. Lovegood, the editor-in-chief of "The New Quibbler", "Daily Prophet", "Wizard Weekly", "Voice of Magic", "Wizard Live Radio"... most of the news media industry in the British wizarding world, They have all arrived at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in advance, waiting for this unprecedented public trial to begin.

In addition to the regular personnel arranged around the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore and others, dozens of reporters and radio personnel holding magic shorthand notebooks and magic quills frequently shuttled among the wizards who were already seated on the Quidditch pitch. They record people's moods and the sad stories that happen in every family.

And when a magical conflict broke out in front of the potato field in Gryffindor House, and when people from the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore and others appeared in the wizards' sight, at least more than twenty magic radios and cameras were pointed at them. , carefully recording every word and deed between these "judges" in today's public trial.

"One person? Maybe there is really only one 'person', but whether there are more accomplices is what we are going to ask today..." Cornelius Fudge shook his head gloomily.

There is no doubt that Gringotts Wizarding Bank may have played an extremely important role in the entire incident.

According to the inquiries and investigations of the Aurors, more than one wizard has confirmed that they have seen goblins in that "liar company", and most of the remaining goblins in the magic world are in ancient times. Under the control of Lingge Wizard Bank, it has just been temporarily split into two groups, but...

Cornelius Fudge raised his voice, looked at the media and wizards around him, and said with great determination.

"No matter how long it takes, no matter what means are used, the Ministry of Magic will get to the bottom of everything today and find out everything! No force can resist the anger from the entire wizarding world, no..."
