Chapter 416 Perjury, the Value of a Life-Saving Favor
Crack!
A thunderbolt suddenly exploded in Harry's heart, and then it began to rain.
He accidentally sold Aaron out, but he really didn't mean to.
But the problem is that he has already sold him out, and it seems too late to repent now. He can't admit in front of everyone that what he saw was an illusion!
"The facts are obvious." Fudge spread his hands with a smug look on his face, "This is an action planned by a Death Eater, who wants to spread the horror of the mysterious man.
The fake Moody may have a brain problem to go to Hogwarts to cause trouble. Harry and the other four were threatened and retaliated by the dark forces, but the resurrection of the mysterious man is absolutely false."
"Fudge." Dumbledore looked at him seriously and emphasized: "Voldemort has returned. You must accept this reality and take measures, so that we may still be able to save the situation.
The first and most important step is to get Azkaban out of the control of the Dementors."
"Impossible." Fudge was so angry that he jumped up and down, "Once this resolution is put forward, If I leave, I will definitely be kicked out of the office.
It is because of the Dementors stationed in Azkaban that we can sleep peacefully, right? "
"They are Voldemort's most dangerous cronies. You let them guard Voldemort's most loyal servants. What's the difference between that and sending them out of prison?
Those guys will not be loyal to you. Voldemort can give them much more power and fun than you can provide.
If Azkaban is still under the control of Dementors, they will bring Voldemort's former loyal servants back to him, and then he can easily restore the terrorist power of thirteen years ago. "
Fudge opened his mouth, looking particularly angry, but he didn't know how to express it.
"In addition, you must take the second measure-send a letter to the giant." Dumbledore continued.
"What nonsense, why should I send a letter to the giant?" Fudge said angrily.
"It's not too late now, extend a hand of friendship to the giants.
Before Voldemort won them over, he did this before, offering them rights and freedom."
"Are you crazy, Dumbledore?
Giants are cruel by nature. If others know that I have dealings with giants, my career will be over."
"Fudge, you are too obsessed with power, which makes you lose your proper judgment.
Do as I say and take some measures, and the entire wizarding world will regard you as the greatest Minister of Magic in history.
But if you don't take action, the wizarding world will also remember that it was you who stood by and let Voldemort have a second chance to destroy the world we worked hard to build."
Fudge shook his head and stepped back, "This is impossible, this is too crazy, I can't gamble my career on the unrealistic words of a child."
"I'm telling the truth." Harry said again, but no one cared, all attracted by Dumbledore's long sigh.
"Cornelly, since you insist on having your own way, we have no choice but to go our separate ways.
You do what you think is right, and I will act according to my will."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Fudge was about to speak when the door of the headmaster's office was knocked.
"Professor Dumbledore, Gaius and the others are back." Filch said loudly.
"Let them in."
The oak door opened, and Aaron, Cedric, Viktor, and Fleur entered the headmaster's office together.
Their faces were full of fatigue, just like those who fled, only slightly better than Harry.
Abe jumped out directly and threw himself into Aaron's arms with tears in his eyes.
The two white paws rummaged in his pocket for a long time and took out a small bottle of crystal white liquid.
"Goodbye, I don't have any external injuries, so you should save this thing!" Aaron said dotingly.
"Your pet... is really special." Fleur looked at Abe with interest, "This is the first time I have seen such a loyal pet."
Abe waved his hand proudly, and looked at Fleur with a more favorable look.
"Is this also the tears of the phoenix?" Cedric said with a somewhat unnatural look.
"Alas!" Aaron sighed, "I was still quite kind at the time, and I only did this little bit."
Hearing this, Abe's eyes sternly turned his head and looked at Fawkes.
The phoenix was frightened and trembled, retreating to Dumbledore and making a wronged hissing sound.
"Uh... please keep an eye on it." Dumbledore said with a complicated look, "If possible, it's best not to let it enter my office."
"Professor, don't be so stingy!" Aaron said indifferently, "As the saying goes... the winner is the king."
Just kidding, he still knows how rare the phoenix feathers are.
If Abe is not brought in, he has no reason to pluck the feathers even if he wants to. It's not good to bully the principal's pet!
But if we bring Abe in, it will be just a fight between the magical animals. It won't be a big deal if they accidentally pull out a few hairs and collect some tears.
Dumbledore rolled his eyes for once, and felt that he needed to strengthen his protection of Fawkes in the future.
The look in Abe's eyes when he looked at him was not scary, but it gave people goosebumps.
"Since you have returned safely, can you tell us what happened?
We need to compare it with what Harry Potter said to see if there is anything missing." Fudge said seriously, and he had already regarded Aaron and the other four as a lifeline.
As long as what they said did not match what Harry said, he would directly define Voldemort's resurrection as completely Harry Potter's imagination and nonsense.
The four exchanged glances and nodded imperceptibly.
"I'm very sorry, Minister of Magic.
I fainted at the time and didn't know anything." Krum said with regret.
He is a Bulgarian, an internationally renowned Quidditch star, and a representative of Durmstrang in the Triwizard Tournament. It is most appropriate for him to start this.
"Fainted? Fainted?"
"I fainted too." Fleur shuddered as she spoke. "I didn't know what happened at the time. I suddenly lost consciousness."
Cedric shrugged, saying everything.
"Gaius, what about you?"
"Minister, several of those senior wizards fainted. Do you think I can still stand?" Aaron asked.
Fudge raised his eyebrows and continued, "But Harry Potter said that you fought a large number of Death Eaters, used several different advanced magics, and killed one-third of them."
"Are you kidding? I'm not that powerful." Aaron said, and then looked at Harry in confusion, "Even if you admire me, you wouldn't make up such nonsense!"
Harry was petrified in an instant. He finally came back to his senses from the confusion, and saw Cedric, Krum and Fleur winking at him.
He seemed to understand something now, and swallowed the words back.
Aaron must have reached some agreement with the three of them, so that they could not tell others what they saw.
But then the truth he told was one-sided, and perhaps no one would believe it except for a few people.
"You..." Harry opened his mouth hesitantly, "You should know how serious this matter is, you can't pretend to know nothing!"
The three looked at each other, you probably don't know the value of saving your life.
Besides, they only concealed the part about Aaron's battle with the Death Eaters, and Aaron didn't let them conceal the most important part about the resurrection of the Dark Lord.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Fudge clapped his hands excitedly and laughed happily, "I said that Harry Potter saw an illusion, and it was really well made up.
It's impossible for the mysterious man to be resurrected!"
"He really resurrected." Krum suddenly said.
Fudge almost couldn't catch his breath, "Viktor, you...didn't you say you fainted?"
"I fainted after the resurrection of the You-Know-Who. His magic is too strong."
"We did too." Cedric and Fleur said in unison.
The corners of Fudge's mouth twitched violently, and he moved his eyes to Aaron with difficulty, and asked almost pleadingly: "Mr. Gaius, you didn't see the resurrection of the You-Know-Who?"
"No." Aaron pretended to be frightened and smiled awkwardly, "I was knocked unconscious by a spell just after landing.
After waking up, I appeared inexplicably outside Hogsmeade Village. If Cedric and the others hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that the You-Know-Who was resurrected. It's so scary."
Fudge was speechless, Harry looked confused, and the others knew it tacitly.
Aaron perfectly took himself off. Voldemort was indeed resurrected, but his subsequent battles with the Death Eaters were all Harry's fantasies, or dreams.
As for how they escaped back later, there is no way to know.
But if you want a reason, you can make it up, for example, some unknown strong man rescued them from Voldemort.
But the problem is that you know the truth, and you can only follow the script arranged by Aaron, after all, three of the five witnesses are on his side.
"You are worthy of it." Adrian couldn't help laughing, and then gave a thumbs up, "You haven't changed after so many years, always like to keep yourself out of it."
"Sister, I don't know what you are talking about." Aaron scratched his head and pretended to be confused, which made others secretly smack their lips.
"Forget it, anyway, Genes will give me the record."
Aaron:......
Hou Lixie! Forget about this.
But it doesn't matter, even if there is no record, Adrian asked, Genes can only answer truthfully.
"Impossible." Fudge still didn't want to believe it, "Do you have any evidence? No, right? Then it can't prove that the mysterious man has been resurrected."
"These are the five..." Fudge paused and changed his words: "No, it was a prank by four students. Mr. Gaius fainted and he didn't know anything."
As the Minister of Magic, he could yell at most wizards, but he knew that they couldn't offend him.
Fortunately, Gaius used his coma to indicate that he would not participate in the testimony, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.
At this time, Snape strode forward and rolled up his left sleeve.
He stretched out his arm to show Fudge, who instantly turned pale and took a few steps back in horror.
