Chapter 766 Sometimes the Truth Is only in the Hands of a Few People.

Ivan looked through the "Daily Prophet" collected by Hermione one by one. These reports directly described Dumbledore as an old child who was old and frail and acted according to his own temper.

The last report said so.

[He is too old. We cannot expect a wizard who is over a hundred years old to remain sane at all times. It is extremely dangerous for such an unclear person to continue to serve as the principal of Hogwarts.

For the sake of the next generation, the most important thing we should do is to let this once legendary wizard stay at home and recuperate...]

"Well, it's quite interesting to read as a storybook..." Ivan put down the newspaper and complained.

"This is no time for joking, Ivan! There are a lot of reports about you here..." Hermione glared at him dissatisfied.

"Well, is there one?" Ivan opened the newspaper again and looked at it.

Following Hermione's pointing, Ivan quickly found news about himself on another page of the Daily Prophet.

As expected, there was nothing nice to say about him. He was described as an arrogant genius with eccentricities. In order to stand out, he hid the secret from Dumbledore and fabricated the resurrection of the mysterious man with Harry.

There is even a report that implies that he was born in Knockturn Alley and formed a gang in school to become the next mysterious person.

"This is too... ridiculous." The corners of Ivan's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he said speechlessly.

Needless to say, the Ministry of Magic must have exerted pressure on the Daily Prophet, otherwise the editor who wrote the article would never have the guts to make up such nonsense.

As long as Dumbledore has a good attitude, if it were Voldemort, the entire newspaper office would be slaughtered by you.

Thinking of this, Ivan had a headache. Although he only saw these news as a joke, over time, some wizards might actually believe them.

The most important thing is that Ivan can't find any solution for a while.

Don't look at the fact that he has a handle on Rita Skeeter, but the other person is just an editor of the Daily Prophet and can't decide anything. Even if he is willing to write some articles that are beneficial to him, he may not be able to pass the review.

There is no need to think about negotiations. Last time, I turned into Dumbledore and said that I would run for Minister of Magic, but in the end, I let these people go. The editor of the Daily Prophet was so angry that he was scolded so harshly in the newspaper now. There may not be a hint of revenge.

"There are so many people who can testify to the news of Voldemort's resurrection! How could they do this..." Harry bit into a piece of shortbread viciously, as if it was Fudge.

"Because to Minister Fudge, we are all Professor Dumbledore's people, and what we said may have come from his instruction, so it cannot be used as evidence..." Hermione took out a thick book and continued confidently.

"And Minister Fudge has no choice. He can only believe that the mysterious man is dead, otherwise he will be the Minister of Magic."

Ivan looked at the book "From Clerk to Minister of Magic - How Wizards Reach the Peak of Power" in Hermione's hand, with a somewhat complicated mood. He gave this book to Hermione just as a last resort, but he didn't expect that she would actually do it. There is a good look.

Just like Hermione said, it's not that Fudge doesn't completely believe in Voldemort's resurrection, but the current situation doesn't allow him to believe it.

After all, Fudge chose to side with the conservatives before and won the support of many people. Now he can only go all the way to the dark side, otherwise it will be equivalent to completely denying everything he has done, which will shake the foundation of Fudge's rule.

Not to mention anything else, if the bad things he had done before were exposed, the angry wizards would immediately knock him out of office, and maybe his reputation would be ruined and he would be liquidated.

For politicians like Fudge, his own interests come first. If he can't be a minister, what's the use of the magical world no matter how well it develops?

So even if there were dementor riots and Pettigrew's escape from prison, Fudge would rather believe that it was all a conspiracy planned by his political enemy Dumbledore.

After dinner, Dumbledore quickly stood up and announced the disbandment of all teachers and students in the school. The sound of tables, chairs and benches clashing soon sounded around.

"I'm going to give directions to the first-year students. You should go back first." Hermione picked up the books in her arms and called for the Gryffindor freshmen to come and gather.

Ron on the side kept fiddling with the prefect badge hanging on his chest, took a few deep breaths, and seemed a little nervous.

After Ivan said hello to the two of them, he took Harry back to the Gryffindor lounge.

Pushing open the door to the dormitory, Seamus and Neville were already inside, seemingly chatting about something.

Neville said happily when he saw the two people coming in. "Harry, Ivan, you came just in time, we were talking about you just now."

"What are you talking about?" Harry asked curiously.

"Harry, where were you the night you received the award last semester?" Seamus hesitated.

"Didn't I tell you earlier? Peter Pettigrew used Polyjuice Potion to disguise himself as Sirius and brought me to Voldemort, and then Ivan and the others rescued me." Harry was a little impatient. He said, and then suddenly realized something.

"Wait...you don't believe us?"

"Of course...of course I'm willing to believe you." Simo looked at Ivan, said sarcastically, and then continued dejectedly.

"But my mother thinks Professor Dumbledore is not mentally normal. She doesn't believe that the mysterious man is still alive and thinks you are lying... If I hadn't insisted, she wouldn't have let me come to school."

"Professor Dumbledore is insane? Is she crazy? How could she think so?" Harry was shaking with anger.

After Voldemort was resurrected, the Ministry of Magic and the Daily Prophet did nothing, adding to the chaos. Only Dumbledore chose to stand up and expose the truth, but he was slandered as an old fool and mentally unstable. He really couldn't swallow this breath.

"Okay, stop arguing." Ivan interrupted the argument between the two, looked at Simo, and said. "You are fifteen years old, Seamus, and you should make your own judgment. You were at the scene when there was a riot on the day of the game. Think about it carefully."

"Don't forget, no one in the first grade wanted to believe what you said, even if it was true." Ivan patted Seamus on the shoulder.

"So I read it right. Did you really ride a dragon and fly in the Forbidden Forest that day?" Seamo's face turned red. He had told this story to many people, but they all regarded it as a story. joke.

"How else do you think I defeated Professor Kino?" Ivan shrugged and said with a smile. "Sometimes the truth is only in the hands of a few people."

(PS: I’ll give it a try when I post a two-in-one chapter tomorrow. Maybe your impression will be better.)
