Hogwarts Everything Is Three

Chapter 484? Scones (Modified)

The door of the courtroom opened, and members of the Wizengamot filed out.

Cornelius Oswald Fudge and Dolores Jane Umbridge stayed last, and Umbridge stared examiningly at Harry until Harry trotted away from the interrogation room.

"Dolores, take care of your own men, and don't cause me any more trouble." Fudge and Umbridge approached closely, whispering reproaches.

Allen, who was sitting in the corner of the auditorium, coughed lightly, stood up, and reminded himself of his existence. Fudge stopped suddenly, frowned, and found that it was Allen, motioned for Umbridge to leave, and walked towards Allen quickly.

When Umbridge walked past Allen, he showed a flattering smile to Allen, that smile was like a pink toad, Allen restrained his desire to turn his head, and nodded politely. Umbridge seemed to have received great encouragement, and his spirits soared. He held a large roll of parchment in one hand and a small bag in the other. The chunky figure quickly disappeared into the trial room. outdoor.

"Alan, can you give me some time, let's chat?" Fudge invited Allen, "Trust me, it won't take you too much time."

"My honor, Minister." The reason why Allen stayed here until the end was precisely for this purpose. Of course, he would not refuse Fudge's interview.

"Please come with me, I don't think this is a good place to talk." Thinking that Allen might have heard all the conversation between himself and Dolores just now, Fudge glanced around the courtroom. The courtroom was empty, and he still felt uneasy.

Allen nodded and followed Fudge. The two stopped talking, ignored other wizards who also took the elevator and secretly looked at them, and went straight to the basement floor where the minister's office was located.

Entering the minister's office, Fudge's expression relaxed a lot. He took off his magic robe and threw it aside, revealing his white shirt. He lifted up his dark green suit and trousers, and sat on the super-large table in the room. behind the desk.

He snapped his fingers, and a tray with tea and toast suddenly appeared on the desk.

"Hey, Alan," Fudge said while pouring tea, "to tell you the truth, Harry's incident really messed us up. It turned out that the dementor attacked him on his own initiative. I thought... ...We can't let this matter become a big issue, causing public opinion to be too detrimental to the Ministry of Magic, which is the most important thing at the moment."

Fudge took out a plate of scones himself, took one himself and pushed the plate to Ellen.

"Alan, I hope the Quibbler doesn't report what happened in court today." Fudge looked at Alan smiling from the edge of his teacup, like an uncle looking at his favorite nephew.

Allen lowered his head, pondered for a while and said, "Even if the Daily Prophet and the Quibbler don't report it, with Sirius' attitude of unwillingness to give up, they will definitely find other media to make a big splash."

Fudge waved his scone with a bite out of it in a panic when he heard the words, and a few raisins on it fell on his table, and he looked at them with disgust: "The influence of those third-rate media is far less than "The Daily Prophet" and "The Quibbler", as long as these two mainstream media do not report, the negative impact of this matter can be controlled within an acceptable range."

"But this is indeed the reason for the Ministry of Magic's ineffective supervision of dementors, and the Ministry of Magic must bear the corresponding responsibility." Allen clenched his fists and put them on the table.

"The Harris family wants to control the dementors?" Fudge thought that Harris would take the opportunity to get back what should belong to them, and his voice couldn't help but rise sharply, and annoyance and worry came to his heart.

"Minister, you have misunderstood. What I mean is that instead of controlling media public opinion, it is better to shift the responsibility to the person who made a management mistake. Completely suppress the report, you know the character of Sirius Black, he may protest even more. resort to more means.

He can only be appeased if he sees someone being punished for it, someone taking the blame. Think about it, after all, he himself was imprisoned in Azkaban for thirteen years because of a misjudgment, and now that his godson Harry was wronged, with Sirius' violent temper, if he suppressed it more, he might rebound even more ferocious. "

"You mean to push it to Dolores?" The teacup kept turning in Fudge's hand, he hesitated, "No, I can't protect my subordinates, and other people in the Ministry of Magic will be disappointed."

Allen raised his eyebrows, gave up the idea of ​​directly defeating Umbridge, and put forward another suggestion: "Perhaps, you can take back the control of the dementors and directly control them in your own hands. This is equivalent to destroying Umbridge directly." Ms. Muliqi punished her, but she just lost a position that she mismanaged. To others, what you did was equivalent to protecting her, after all, she did not completely lose her position."

Fudge nodded, thinking to himself: "In this way, the control of the dementors is still firmly in my own hands." He got up and poured a cup of Ceylon lowland black tea for himself and Allen, recovering slowly The tone of voice: "Then what will be reported in The Quibbler?"

"It's impossible not to report at all, but the specific details can be described by reporters in neutral terms, and the space doesn't need to be too much." Allen blinked: "By the way, I have something to ask the minister for help. Did you know that I'm thinking of starting a TV station recently?"

"Huh? Has anyone in the ministry prevented you from going through the formalities? I should have told them not to trouble you." Fudge was taken aback, thinking that someone under his command had provoked Harris on his own initiative. "I'll tell them to let you go." Fudge had only heard the report from his subordinates before, but he didn't have any idea about this thing.

Alan waved his hand to signal that Fuji had misunderstood: "Minister, the procedures for the TV station went smoothly, and we have completed the registration. After all, we are not like the wizarding TV broadcasting company that was short-lived because of direct use of Muggle technology in the early 1980s. They were banned by the Ministry of Magic for seriously violating the "International Confederation of Wizards' Secrecy Act" before they broadcast any programs. The wizard TVs transformed by Harris and the Muggles are completely incommunicable in terms of signal and energy. It's not like radio, after all. When Muggles overhear a wizarding radio station, it's easy to think they've misheard or thought it was a prank; it's not so easy to believe when they accidentally see a wizarding TV show. "

"So, Alan, what do you want me to help with?" Fudge was a little puzzled. Although he basically didn't understand these things, it sounds like there should be no violations. So what about the Harris family?

"What I mean is, after all, there won't be only the Harris family's TV station in the future. I suggest that the Ministry of Magic needs to set up a related department for unified management. However, since this is a new industry, the professional candidates for this department will be chosen by our Harris family. Let’s decide, after all, we are the first family to get in touch with this matter now, so that we can look at the problem from the perspectives of the Ministry of Magic and the TV station at the same time, and constantly compromise with each other to improve and finally formulate the most reasonable management law. Of course, this new The authority and scope of the department do not affect the functions of other existing departments of the Ministry of Magic, but only manage the film and television industry and related content, I hope that you can give permission and approval, Minister." Allen asked pretendingly, but did not mean to beg at all.

Fudge understands that this is a condition put forward by the other party not to make a big report on the dementors attacking the Savior and Muggles.

It's just that Fudge is a little hesitant that Harris may control a new media. Although the other party's reasons are grand, he has no idea what kind of impact this so-called TV station may have.

"In fact, we have already produced several prototypes, and invited Mr. Tilden Toots, the host of the Wizarding Radio Network, and Miss Fleur Delacour from the Ministry of Magic to temporarily record a pilot program for us. Then We'll be doing a lot of advertising in The Quibbler and the Daily Prophet, we'll be running pilots in places like Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, and the hype that's coming out of itself is sure to turn the crowd on The incident about Harry's attack has been minimized to make it less visible. What do you think, Minister."

Fudge thought over and over again, and finally agreed to give the approval for the establishment of relevant functional departments of the TV station. He was persuaded by Allen, and he is now eager to get rid of the impact of the dementor incident. On the other hand, he was worried that if he didn't pay at all, now with the series of reports after last year's World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament, the sales volume has already been second only to the Daily Prophet's divisive reports, which would embarrass him very much. If it is big, it will make him very disadvantageous when facing Dumbledore recently. If Dumbledore takes the opportunity to treat him...
