Chapter 439 Ivan: Fudge! How Dare You Accuse Someone of Their Innocence Out of Thin Air? !

The Ministry of Magic arrived much faster than Ivan expected. He had just had breakfast, and Fudge arrived right after.

Calculating the time, the Ministry of Magic should have just started working at this meeting. The current Minister came over in a hurry, which shows how seriously the Ministry of Magic takes this matter.

Ivan shook his head and sighed in his heart, if he could be this efficient when doing other things, why would he be where he is today.

"Ivan, what happened?" Hermione also heard Fox's cry, and of course she recognized that it was Dumbledore's phoenix flying over here.

Sirius, Harry and Ron also stopped talking and looked at Ivan.

"No, it's nothing. Professor Dumbledore has something to do with me. It must be that someone from the Ministry of Magic couldn't bear it and came early!"

Ivan stood up and stretched out his hand, and Fox, who flew in from the window, stayed on his arm.

Then, Ivan looked at Sirius again and said to them.

"In addition, I think it is better to postpone your celebration until after the trial. Before the trial, Sirius's suspicion has not been completely cleared. It is best not to leave the school at will, so as not to be found criticizing Professor Dumbledore. reason"

Hearing what Ivan said, Harry and others who were originally in high spirits suddenly waned.

Sirius was also aware of this. He was so happy that he had forgotten his identity as a fugitive. If he ran outside openly, he might cause some commotion.

Seeing that they all understood the need to stay at Hogwarts, Ivan said nothing more and walked out of the auditorium, finding a deserted place and changing into Dumbledore's appearance.

"Well, yes, it looks very similar! It shouldn't be exposed, right?"

After the changed state stabilized, Ivan used the transformation technique to get a full-length mirror and looked at it carefully.

After all, he was going to meet the Minister of Magic Fudge later. It was better than fooling the professors in school. If he got involved this time, it would be all over.

In order to suit Dumbledore's taste, Ivan even specially got a set of sultry purple robes to wear so that he looked like the old principal.

"What do you think? Fox?" Ivan tilted his head and looked at the phoenix with golden and red feathers on his shoulders.

Fox stared at the mirror for a while, and then nodded. Judging from the appearance alone, it couldn't see any flaws.

Ivan was completely relieved, but as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the castle, he saw Minister of Magic Fudge coming over menacingly with a large group of Aurors.

Ivan frowned slightly, knowing in his heart that Fudge was afraid that the person coming this time was evil, but he quickly adjusted his expression and stepped forward to greet him.

"Connelly, it's been a long time since we last met!" Ivan pretended not to see the hostility on their faces and greeted them warmly.

Fudge didn't appreciate it at all. He came to Ivan in three steps and two steps at a time. His eyes were filled with unconcealable anger. He got closer and questioned word by word.

"Albus what exactly do you want to do?"

"Of course I'm doing something that needs to be done, such as finding the culprit of this unrest." Ivan raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly.

"That's the job of the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic!" Fudge interrupted Ivan angrily.

"Don't say that, Connelly! This matter also threatens the safety of all students. As the principal of Hogwarts, how can I turn a blind eye? And I am also very willing to contribute to the wizarding world. , do some small work within your ability." Ivan looked at him calmly and explained.

"Then you should discuss it with me first instead of doing those little tricks yourself," Fudge said angrily.

Fudge knew very well that the news published by the Daily Prophet today must have something to do with Dumbledore, otherwise how could they dare to publish such things without his consent.

"How could I forget you? Old friend! In fact, I have already sent an owl with my handwritten letter to explain all this to you." Ivan explained in a gentle tone.

"What about your owl? I didn't see it!" Fudge asked, seeming to have reached the limit of his patience, and the string in his mind might break at any time.

You must know that when he rushed to the Ministry of Magic early this morning, he received hundreds of letters questioning the authenticity of the contents of the Daily Prophet. Among them were a large number of shouting letters, which seriously disrupted the normal operation of the Ministry of Magic!

Fudge even had to send commissioners to intercept the owls trying to break into the Ministry of Magic and select those important letters to send to his office.

But there was no letter from Dumbledore at all!

In addition, the latest issue of the Daily Prophet almost pissed him off, so he dropped all his work in such a hurry and rushed here with the Aurors as soon as possible!

Facing Fudge's question, Ivan said regretfully.

"Perhaps Hogwarts is too far away from the Ministry of Magic. The owl I sent needs to fly for a while. If you haven't come to me now, you may have been reading the letter."

Ivan, who has always been cautious, would not give Fudge an excuse to target him, so he really sent a letter to the Ministry of Magic!

It's just that the owl responsible for delivering the message just left Hogwarts ten minutes ago.

Listening to Ivan's remarks, Fudge laughed in anger. Who in the wizarding world didn't know that Dumbledore had a phoenix, and it usually only took a moment to deliver important messages.

And even if you use an owl to deliver a message, it's impossible to fly all night without reaching the other party. It's obvious that the other party is deliberately targeting you!

Thinking of this, Fudge put aside his previous concerns and said with a sneer. "I heard the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet mentioned that you threatened them to publish these news?"

"Did he actually tell you that? We obviously had a pleasant chat at the beginning," Ivan opened his eyes wide, looked at Fudge in surprise, and continued.

"The editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet told me before that he was very willing to let everyone know the truth of the matter."

Ivan was very dissatisfied with Fudge's remarks just now. How could such a pleasant conversation turn into coercion and inducement in his mouth?

How could he accuse someone of innocence out of thin air?

(PS: Seeing that some people don’t understand Fudge’s behavior, Angel will explain it a little here. In fact, it will be very clear if the scene is changed.

A British country mistook a war hero for a Crusader spy and tortured him for more than ten years. The real spy who faked his death gained the title of hero. Now the spy was captured by the agents and it was discovered that it was a miscarriage of justice. Do you think the higher-ups should choose to kill people and get it over with, or should they choose to announce it directly?

So this is not a question of who is in power, but a scandal of the entire Ministry of Magic. Of course there is no problem in shifting the blame, but that is only used when there is no other way. For Western politicians who only care about interests, if there is an opportunity, the first choice is to get rid of the insider directly and pretend that nothing happened. This is much simpler than doing public relations afterwards. )

History has proven countless times that Western politicians have always tried their best to conceal it first, and only then would they consider passing the blame when they could no longer hide it.
