Chapter 356 I Misjudged Myself
Fudge has not been idle these days. After talking with Dumbledore, he started his own actions.
Since it is inevitable to rehabilitate Sirius Black, all Fudge can do is maximize his interests and benefit from this impact.
While Fudge was meeting with the directors of the Legal Enforcement Division, he was discussing privately with his staff, and finally published a report on Black's vindication in the Daily Prophet on the first Monday after the Easter holiday.
In this report, everything that happened twelve years ago is told, how the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix fought against Voldemort, the Potters' Secret Keeper plan, Peter's Secret Keeper identity, and why Sirius was unjustly imprisoned. of.
In order to protect the reputation and reputation of the Ministry of Magic, this report has been embellishing the faces of the Ministry of Magic and Fudge, being vague about the trial that year, and praising Sirius as a tragic hero. Sirius was unjustly imprisoned because he was unjust to the Potters and didn't say anything because of the Potters' death.
Although this is the case, the Ministry of Magic looks really ugly. Obviously if they had been more careful, this unjust case could have been avoided. The public would not have been deceived for twelve years, and Sirius would not have to spend his best years in Azkaban.
The eyes of the crowd were still sharp, and soon someone discovered that the person who threw Sirius into prison without trial was Barty Crouch. Therefore, the Ministry of Magic was incompetent, Fudge resigned, and Barty Crouch was sent to Azkaban. Slogans abounded.
At this time, Fudge stood up, bowed and apologized, restarted the trial of the case, and personally served as the chairman of the jury.
Under Fudge's crisis public relations, a responsible and responsible image was established, and people also had expectations for the Ministry of Magic and Fudge.
Fudge made a lot of money, not only suppressing his competitor Barty Crouch, but also suppressing the Legal Enforcement Division and Amelia Bones.
Fudge became the one who turned the tide, promptly made up for the Ministry of Magic's mistakes, and restored the Ministry of Magic's credibility.
The trial of the case soon resumed, and Sirius also participated in the trial, accompanied by Dumbledore and several Aurors.
In order to demonstrate the impartiality of the Ministry of Magic, in addition to the Daily Prophet reporting the entire trial process, Fudge also invited some ordinary wizards to participate in the trial. As for how Fudge negotiated with the pure-blood family behind his back, no one knew.
In the subsequent reports, the public knew how Sirius Black was able to avenge his injustice. The names of Dumbledore and Ada appeared in the reports again, and Fred and George also received a few lines of introduction. .
Fudge, who had done nothing, also occupied a place in the report, as if he was not the one who had refused to admit it before.
Rather than monopolizing the credit, the credit was shared between Dumbledore and Ada, which also showed Fudge's side as a politician. The trial was almost public. It was impossible to hide this matter. It was better to be a favor and give Dumbledore more face.
Fudge himself had nothing to lose, and Dumbledore had nothing to gain from a report, so why not.
Seeing Ada's name appear again in the Daily Prophet once again aroused the curiosity of the people. The Daily Prophet is worthy of being a media company. They once again reported on Ada's current situation, and also interviewed Fudge "by the way" to ask the minister's views on the girl.
In the interview, Fudge praised Ada vigorously, saying that Ada was the most outstanding witch he had ever seen at her age and a very talented witch. If Ada wanted to join the Ministry of Magic after graduation, Fudge said that he would welcome it with both hands, and the department would choose according to Ada's wishes.
This invitation to join the company was quite sincere, but Ada at school dismissed Fudge's invitation.
Although there are still some people in the Ministry of Magic who do practical things, this does not change the fact that the Ministry of Magic is rotten to the core. Unless it's cleaned from top to bottom, the Ministry of Magic will remain an embroidered pillow that looks useless.
In mid-April, the trial of the case ended. The Ministry of Magic had not operated so efficiently for a long time. Peter Pedro was imprisoned in Azkaban, and the punishment for being late finally came.
Sirius Black's reputation was restored, and in recognition of Sirius, he was specially awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class. To express his apology, Fudge sincerely invited Sirius Black to join the Ministry of Magic and serve in the Auror Office.
However, Sirius declined the minister's invitation, saying that he hoped to enjoy his life and travel around the world with his friends. But in fact, after the trial, Sirius returned to Hogwarts.
Perhaps, Hogwarts’ nickname is the world?
With Peter being brought to justice and admitted to a single cell in Azkaban, the task issued by the system was also completed, but Ada was very dissatisfied with the task reward.
What kind of reward is "Animagus transformation simplified version"? She has no interest in Animagus at all. That is to say, the accompanying method of identifying Animagus is somewhat useful, and it is not a waste of time.
The renovation of the Twilight Cottage has also ended. The new decoration highlights the word "trench". The Black family is really rich. Everything in the cottage is from the best brands you can see on the market, and they are all... Customized.
Ada felt that she might have underpaid for the blackmail, no wonder Sirius agreed so happily that day.
Twilight Cottage is no longer the secret base for Ada and the twins. Sirius still lives here with no intention of moving. Lupine also comes and goes frequently, and Harry can't wait to live here directly.
Looking at the lively cabin, Ada felt like crying... Sirius and Harry were as happy as they could be, but Ada was not happy at all.
Not only did Ada have to recite Transfiguration papers these days, but she also had no good luck in Potions class.
As long as Ada dares to talk back, she will immediately deduct points and imprison her. Ada is now more familiar with the medal display room than her own home. She knows which medal is placed where with her eyes closed.
Probably no prefect in the history of Hogwarts has been imprisoned as many times as Ada.
Ada could only vent her anger on the trial doll. Those mornings in the Forbidden Forest were full of excitement, and Ada finally received a three-star rating.
During the trial, Ada also gradually figured out the rules of scoring. Although victory is important, victory will only get one star.
The remaining two stars are for combat performance. The rationality and diversity of offense and defense, as well as the damage you receive after the battle, the number of times you are knocked down, etc., will all affect the score.
Although it received a three-star rating, Ada did not dare to say that she could definitely beat Snape or Professor McGonagall. The strength gap between the three was not that big.
It can only be said that when facing an opponent of this level, Ada has a great chance of winning and it is almost impossible to lose. But if she wants to achieve a steady win, Ada must continue to hone herself.
The understanding and application of magic, as well as the fighting methods to adopt when dealing with opponents of different styles, these accumulation and adaptability cannot be mastered in one or two days.
And Dumbledore is still out of reach, let alone Dumbledore and the blessing of the Elder Wand. If she wants to rival Dumbledore, Ada still has a long way to go.
After achieving a three-star rating, Ada naturally received a reward, an irregular-shaped blood-red gem. Although the color of the gem is red, it is not a magic stone. Its function is to enhance the effect of the healing spell.
At the same time, gems can also increase Ada's own recovery speed, which means that no matter whether Ada is injured or sick, under the same medical conditions, Ada will recover faster.
The most outrageous thing is that this gem can be used to save lives. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as it does not lead to direct death, it can be restored to a healthy state by absorbing the energy of the gem.
But there is only one chance, and the energy of the gem cannot be restored. Once used, the gem will immediately turn into a broken stone that can be seen everywhere.
Just as Ada was thinking about how to store the gem, the gem flew directly to the ring on her left hand and merged with the ring. The shape of the ring has not changed, and there is no additional gemstone on the surface. There is only an occasional flash of blood red on the ring.
Thinking about the role and efficacy of gems, Ada murmured to herself: "I always thought I was a DPS, but it turns out that my real profession is a nanny!"
