Chapter 713 Confrontation

The surroundings were eerily quiet, and everyone looked at Fudge in disbelief.

Fudge still had that strange smile on his face. He glanced at Harry once more before answering.

"You want to believe what that crazy killer and a child said about Duke Voldemort coming back? Alas..."

Fudge glared at Harry again, and Harry understood instantly.

"You read the Daily Prophet's report on Harry, Mr. Fudge," he said quietly.

Ron, Hermione, Mrs. Weasley and Bill all jumped.

None of them knew Harry was awake.

Fudge blushed slightly, but a stubborn and stubborn look appeared on his face.

"So what?" he said, looking at Dumbledore, "What if I find out you're keeping something secret about this kid? A Pselmouth, eh? Always putting on a show A farce?—"

"I'm sure you mean the pain Harry suffered as a result of his scars?" Dumbledore said coldly.

"Did you admit that he was in pain?" Fudge said quickly. "Is it a headache? Is it a nightmare? Or maybe it's - a 'hallucination'?"

"Listen to me, Cornelius," said Dumbledore.

He took a step forward towards Fudge and once again issued an indescribable force, "Harry is just as rational as you and me. The scar on his forehead does not make him confused. I believe that when Voldemort is near him, He had hurt him before when he looked murderous."

Fudge took a half step back, but was still so stubborn, "You have to forgive me, Dumbledore, but I have heard of cursed scars as a kind of alarm bell before..."

"I see Voldemort is back," Harry shouted. He tried to jump out of bed again, but Mrs. Weasley stopped him. "I saw those corpse eaters! I can name them, Lucius Malfoy—"

Snape stirred suddenly, but when Harry looked at him, his eyes darted to the law.

"Malfoy has been ruled out," Fudge said, clearly offended. "That's an old family, dedicated to a good cause..."

"Mainaya," Harry continued. "Excluded too! Now working for the minister."

"...Kra...Goyle."

"You are just repeating the names of people who were declared not to be corpse eaters thirteen years ago!" said Fudge angrily. "You can find those names in the old records of the trial. For God's sake, Dumbledore ——This boy was also full of weird stories at the end of last year. His stories became bigger and bigger, but you still believed them. ——This boy can talk to snakes. Dumbledore, do you still think he is credible? ?”

"You idiot," McGonagall shouted, "Cedric Diggory hasn't come back yet, and the deaths of people like Mr. Crouch are definitely not the random actions of a madman."

"I don't see it being planned!" Fudge yelled, his face purple with anger in response to her anger. "It seems to me that you are all determined to provoke a panic and destroy our past. Stability built in thirteen years!”

Harry couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had always felt that Fudge was a kind man, a bit nonsense and a bit bombastic, but essentially good, but now standing in front of him was a timid, angry wizard who bluntly refused to accept the situation where he was comfortable and well-organized. The destruction that occurred in the preface world——I don’t believe that Voldemort can be resurrected.

"Voldemort is back," Dumbledore repeated. "If you accept this fact immediately and take the necessary measures, we may still be able to save the situation. The first and most important step is to free Azkaban from the control of the Dementors. .”

"Absurd!" Fudge shouted again, "Get rid of the Dementors! If I suggest this, I will be kicked out of this position! We know that half the people in Azkaban can sleep at night with Dementors guarding them. Safe.”

"The rest of them will not sleep so soundly, Cornelius, if they knew that you had placed Voldemort's most dangerous followers in the hands of a group of... animals that responded to his call," Dumbledore said. You are loyal, Fudge! To be precise, they have never been loyal to anyone. Voldemort can provide them with more power and more happiness! As long as there are dementors behind him and the returning Death Eaters, you It’s going to be hard to stop him from regaining the strength he had thirteen years ago.”

Fudge's mouth opened and closed as if his anger could be expressed in words.

"The first step you must take - at once," continued Dumbledore, "is to send a messenger to the giants."

"Send messengers to the giants?" Fudge screamed, as if he had something to say. "What kind of crazy idea is this?"

"Extend a hand of friendship to them before it is too late," Dumbledore said. "Otherwise, Voldemort will convince them, as before, that he alone as a wizard can give people power and freedom."

"You - you can't be serious!" Fudge gasped. He shook his head and backed away from Dumbledore. "If word spread throughout the wizarding community that I was close to those people... and people hated them, Dumbledore - that would be the end of my career."

"You are blind," said Dumbledore, his voice rising, and there was a palpable air of power about him.

Dumbledore's voice became extremely calm, "You are blinded by your love for your authority, Connelly! You always, as always, attach too much importance to the so-called pure blood. You cannot see the key It's not who is born, but who they grow up to be. Your dementors have just destroyed the last remaining member of the last pureblood family - and look how that man will shape his life. .I'm telling you now - follow the steps I just suggested, and you will be known both inside and outside of your position as the bravest and greatest master of magic we have ever known. If you don't, history will remember you as Derailed by giving Voldemort a second chance to destroy the world we worked so hard to create."

"Unconscious," Fudge muttered, retreating further, "Crazy."

"Is this the explanation you gave?" Fudge shouted angrily. He had never been so angry. How could Dumbledore coerce him?

He hasn't been threatened in a long time.

Only Dumbledore, damn it, only Dumbledore was still threatening him.

"That's the explanation I give, you have to do it, Connelly, it's for everyone's benefit."

"Benefits?" Fudge sneered, "I think you are lying, Dumbledore!"

"Voldemort has not come back, he is dead, a dead person... This is just..." (To be continued)
