Chapter 133 The Minister of Magic Meets the Dark Lord at Night

Just as Professor McGonagall expected.

Only a Gryffindor student would think about riding a dragon.

The wizard who just caused big trouble in Gringotts and flew away on a dragon was indeed a student from Gryffindor House, or her student Peter Pettigrew.

This Gringotts incident was quickly leaked.

Many people also immediately picked up on Peter Pettigrew's infiltration into Gringotts.

Since this accident was witnessed by the people in Diagon Alley, and even the goblins didn't have time to block the news, everyone already knew that Peter Pettigrew had stolen the legendary Philosopher's Stone, and by the way also took away the Gringotts raised animal. of a Ukrainian iron-belly dragon.

As the victim, Dumbledore rushed to Gringotts immediately. He did not blame Gringotts for its poor defense, and even just asked for compensation symbolically.

For Dumbledore, he didn't have to care about money at all.

In fact, Dumbledore didn't care about the Philosopher's Stone even more, because he could probably understand why Peter Pettigrew wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and he even knew that there was another Dark Lord who was also craving the Philosopher's Stone.

Voldemort.

For Voldemort, as long as he has not been truly resurrected and has his own body, he needs the Philosopher's Stone to make potions. It is obvious that Voldemort is definitely staring at the Philosopher's Stone.

Last year, Dumbledore had thought of throwing the Philosopher's Stone out to lure Peter Pettigrew to his door. Even if it was really taken away, it would intensify the fight between the two Dark Lords...

As a result, Peter Pettigrew remained in hiding.

At this time, Dumbledore planned to use the Sorcerer's Stone to create a trap against Voldemort, but Peter Pettigrew jumped out and took the Sorcerer's Stone away...

never mind.

Just a magic stone.

Dumbledore didn't particularly care about the Philosopher's Stone.

If Peter Pettigrew used the Philosopher's Stone to create the elixir of immortality, it doesn't seem to have any special connection. Immortality is not immortality.

This incident only made Dumbledore feel a little bad, because his plans were disrupted by Peter Pettigrew again, which forced him to consider other plans.

No matter what, there is no way to hide this matter.

The incident in Diagon Alley spread throughout the British wizarding world.

Many wizards have already known about the theft of Gringotts. The Dark Lord Peter stole the precious Philosopher's Stone in what is known as the safest place in the world. This news immediately caused an uproar.

As the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge was particularly troubled by this matter. When the Ministry of Magic was attacked by Peter Pettigrew last year, he had not yet officially taken office and was still relatively stable.

For a year, Peter Pettigrew never showed up again.

Cornelius Fudge was very satisfied with the stability of the wizarding world. He even hoped that Peter Pettigrew would never appear again and let his term pass peacefully.

result.

This peace only lasts for a year.

The Philosopher's Stone was stolen from Gringotts, and the thief was the third-generation Dark Lord Peter Pettigrew. This incident will definitely make the headlines in the newspapers tomorrow, and it will probably cause a large number of people to be dissatisfied with the Ministry of Magic...

Cornelius Fudge, Amelia Bones and others worked overtime for a long time, but could not come up with any specific results. The Minister of Magic could only go home and rest.

Due to working overtime too late.

Cornelius Fudge looked obviously tired.

For a wizard who is over fifty years old, he is actually still relatively young. The pinstriped suit worn on this slightly muscular man makes anyone think that he is a capable man.

When Cornelius Fudge returned home, his expression changed.

Because at this time, he did not see his wife or warm supper at home. There was only a parchment bag placed on the living room table, with a red gem wrapped inside.

Obviously, that's not something he has.

Someone broke into his home and placed the gem here.

This scene made Cornelius Fudge's expression immediately become nervous. He hurriedly reached into his pocket and took out the wand, looking at everything in the room with a vigilant face!

"Good evening, Secretary Fudge."

A sharp voice appeared in the room.

A short and fat man came out of the kitchen while talking and biting an apple. He looked at the alert Cornelius Fudge and grinned evilly: "Mr. Minister of Magic, you shouldn't see me. Are you happy?"

"Peter!"

Fudge's expression became very ugly!

The Dark Lord Peter showed up at his home!

The Minister of Magic held his wand tightly, pointed at Peter Pettigrew and did not dare to relax, and asked in a deep voice: "Peter, what do you want to do when you break into my house?"

"Hehehehe... I'm just a guest."

Peter Pettigrew put down the apple in his hand, stretched out his hand to point to the red gem on the table, and chuckled: "As a guest, you naturally have to bring a gift when you come to the door..."

Peter Pettigrew saw Fudge's eyes falling on the table and continued with a smile: "This is the Philosopher's Stone I just got from Gringotts this morning. Is Minister Fudge satisfied with this gift?"

"…Magic stone…"

Fudge's hand holding the wand involuntarily increased with strength!

Every wizard in the magical world has heard the name of the Philosopher's Stone, and they all understand that it is this treasure that allows the master alchemist Nico Flamel to live so long until now.

No wizard can turn a blind eye to the Philosopher's Stone!

Especially when this gem was stolen from Gringotts in the morning, everyone in the wizarding world knew that this gem was lost, and even many wizards were fascinated by its whereabouts!

Even Fudge, the Minister of Magic, is no exception!

This gem not only symbolizes immortality, but also symbolizes great wealth. Any wizard who gets the magic stone will get unimaginable wealth in his life!

"what you up to?"

Fudge mentally stabilized himself and slowly turned to look at the smiling Peter Pettigrew next to him. He said in a deep voice: "You just stole this gem from Gringotts this morning, and now you bring it to me. What are you here for?"

"To make a deal, of course."

Peter Pettigrew chuckled and pulled out his chair, sat on the edge of the table, slowly put his palms on the table, and said casually.

"I believe that no one can turn a blind eye to him... Unfortunately, I don't need this thing, I need something more important!"

When he said this, Peter Pettigrew's body leaned forward slightly, and under the dim light of the candlelight, his face looked particularly ferocious!

"This world is really ironic. The most important thing for a Dark Lord, you, the Minister of Magic, can do it with just one sentence..."

"..."

Fudge was shocked by his actions!

The Minister of Magic suddenly raised his wand and pointed it at Peter Pettigrew, as if he wanted to draw enough courage from the wand!

It wasn't until Peter Pettigrew slowly sat back on the chair that Fudge finally calmed down. He didn't look at the Philosopher's Stone, but said in a deep voice: "Minister of Magic, there is no way you can make a deal with a Dark Lord. I should do it." It’s to catch you in Azkaban!”

"But you can't."

A sarcastic smile appeared on Peter Pettigrew's lips, and he whispered: "No one in this world except Dumbledore can catch me. You should know this, Minister Fudge!"

When he said this, Peter Pettigrew suddenly continued sarcastically: "Without Dumbledore's support, you, the minister, are just a waste... Everyone is saying this kind of thing!"

"Shut up! Shut up!"

A look of anger immediately appeared on Fudge's face!

This is something he absolutely doesn't want others to mention!

Although the Minister of Magic always behaves very respectfully to Dumbledore outside and will consult Dumbledore on any important matter, this does not mean that he is willing to be said so!

Cornelius Fudge respects Dumbledore enough...

Because everyone knows the importance of Dumbledore at this time.

The Daily Prophet always laughed at him as the Minister of Magic, who was just Dumbledore's puppet, and even went so far as to say that he was a dog raised by Dumbledore. No one could endure this kind of thing forever!

The reason Cornelius Fudge was able to endure it was simply because Dumbledore was able to help him secure his position as Minister of Magic and allow him to retain his power as Minister of Magic.

However…

This is what Cornelius Fudge hates the most!

Everyone can say this, everyone is saying this, even he himself can only say this. Who knows why he doesn’t want to get rid of Dumbledore’s influence!

"I can help you."

Peter Pettigrew chuckled, not caring about the angry Minister of Magic, and his voice gradually lowered: "As long as I come to help you, you can truly secure your position as Minister of Magic, and you don't even have to look at it anymore. Dumbledore acts with his face..."

"Hehehehe..."

Hearing Peter Pettigrew's words, Fudge had a look of ridicule on his face.

The Minister of Magic shook his head and sneered at Peter Pettigrew in front of him: "A Dark Lord told me that he could help me get rid of Dumbledore? Do you think I am one of those immature students at Hogwarts?"

"..."

The corners of Peter Pettigrew's eyes narrowed slightly.

However, the expression of the sharp-toothed Dark Lord did not change at all, and his smile even became deeper and deeper: "Of course, of course I can help you, as long as you can solve the threat of Voldemort's resurrection, do you think Dumbledore Do you still dare to order you?"

When talking about Voldemort, Peter Pettigrew's eyes became more and more dangerous: "As long as I come to help you, I will help you kill Voldemort, your prestige will greatly increase in the entire magical world, and no one will go there again. Look at Dumbledore, you are the first person to completely defeat the Dark Lord..."

"..."

Cornelius Fudge looked dim and uncertain.

The Minister of Magic stared hard at Peter Pettigrew's face. He slowly put down the wand in his hand, pulled up his chair and sat across from Peter Pettigrew.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
