Chapter 1040 Fudge's Accusation
Ivan took a quick look, but there was no photo of Pettigrew Peter.
Poor fellow, he was now Azkaban's most closely guarded prisoner, considered the most dangerous Death Eater, but Voldemort didn't even look at him.
Thirty Death Eaters escaped from prison, but there is no Peter Pettigrew, which already shows the problem.
While Ivan was browsing the photos, Harry's eyes were attracted by the witch, and her face jumped into his eyes when he first glanced at the newspaper.
The only female Death Eater featured in the newspaper, Bellatrix Lestrange.
Her long black hair looks disheveled in the photo, which is completely different from the smooth and shiny long hair seen in Kreacher before.
The eyes under the thick lids stared at everyone, and there was a haughty, contemptuous smile on the thin lips.
Like Sirius before her, she still retains some traces of her good looks.
But something, maybe Azkaban, had taken most of her beauty away.
Like everyone else, a short bio is below her photo.
She once tortured Frank and Alice Longbottom, leaving them permanently disabled.
But Aiwen knew that her crimes were far more than reported, and the same was true of other Death Eaters.
"The Ministry of Magic announced a mass escape from Azkaban last night!" Hermione read, "Minister Cornelius Fudge confirmed in an interview in his office that thirty felons escaped last night, and he has informed the Muggle Prime Minister Notified of the danger of the fugitive."
"It's a shame that we're in the same situation we were in when Sirius Black escaped two and a half years ago," Fudge said last night. There is no positive evidence that he is a prisoner, but you must know that such a large-scale escape makes it doubtful that there is outside support. As the first person to escape from Azkaban, Black is most qualified to help others escape from prison, or to escape him from Azkaban. We have to be so suspicious that Ben's experience and methods of escape have been leaked, since Blake's cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange, is among the fugitives."
"I can't believe it!" Harry roared. "Fudge blamed Sirius for the Death Eaters' escape?"
"It's really incredible!" Ivan said.
"What else can he do?" Hermione said sarcastically. "He can say sorry. Dumbledore reminded me that the guard of Azkaban defected to Voldemort. He spent a year telling everyone that you and Dumbledore Lido is a liar, isn't he?"
"But Sirius has been proven innocent!" Harry said incredulously.
"Fudge doesn't think so, he thinks that Sirius may commit new crimes at any time!"
"How can any prisoner stay at home and wait for the Ministry of Magic to catch him?!"
"Yeah, everyone knows what's going on, but Fudge needs a prisoner. If he doesn't dare to admit that Voldemort has returned, he can only push the responsibility to other people." Ivan said, "Don't worry, Harry , Sirius will be fine."
"He has enough evidence to prove that he didn't do this. We can all prove it for him if necessary. Fudge can't do it if he wants to wrong him. Don't hum, Ron, there's more to come!" said Hermione, bowing her head and continuing Looking at the newspaper, "Elaine, he mentioned your uncle. In addition to accusing Sirius, Fudge believes that the escape of the Death Eaters has something to do with vampires. You planned the whole incident. He said that those Death Eaters killed your uncle. Be a leader."
"I'm used to it!" Elaine said disapprovingly, "It's not surprising at all, human wizards always blame us for various things, and most of the bad things they accuse vampires of doing have nothing to do with us. "
"What else did that idiot say?" Harry asked angrily.
"He said that the Ministry of Magic is sparing no effort to hunt down the fugitives, and asked the public to be vigilant and not to approach these important criminals, there will be no more!" Hermione read the last paragraph of the newspaper and flipped through it dissatisfiedly, "They should reported in detail."
"Wait for the Hogwarts Wizarding News!" Ivan said, "Lupine should have a more detailed story. Since this incident is classified as a prison escape, it means that the dementors did not rebel on the surface. ..."
Voldemort was very careful, he really needed the help of the elite Death Eaters, but he still didn't want to leak the news of his return.
That's why there was a large-scale prison break, and Fudge would not admit that there was a problem with the dementor.
Because acknowledging that there is a problem with the dementor is equivalent to acknowledging the return of Voldemort in disguise.
Voldemort is very good at playing with people's hearts, and he eats Fudge's heart to death.
But it was of no use, for Magic could not give a satisfactory explanation for the escape without acknowledging the defection of the dementors.
As long as the IQ is not negative, people will see the clues. Ivan feels that it is necessary to publish the article written by Rita Skeeter for them during the summer vacation, to tell everyone the truth, to tell everyone, what is the magic world? what's going on.
Meanwhile, Harry looked around the Hall, wondering why the other students didn't seem panicked.
Or at least talking about the dreaded front-page news, yet few people reach for the paper every day like Hermione.
They were still chatting about homework and Quidditch and who knows what, and there were thirty more Death Eaters outside the walls who were increasing Voldemort's power.
He looked towards the staff table, and there it was a different scene.
Dumbledore still didn't show up. Professor McGonagall was talking with Professor Flitwick in a low voice. Both of them had extremely serious faces. Professor Sprout leaned the "Daily Prophet" on the bottle of ketchup and read it intently. Reading the first version, holding the spoon in the air, I didn't even notice that the egg yolk in the spoon dripped onto my lap.
Across the table, Umbridge was sipping his porridge.
For the first time her toad eyes did not search the Great Hall for misbehaving students, and she ate with a frown, casting vicious glances at Dumbledore's empty seat from time to time.
In addition to this news, the "Daily Prophet" also published the news of a person's death.
His name is Broderick Bird. He was injured in a work accident a few weeks ago and was sent to St. Mungo's Magic Injury Hospital. He had a devil's net disguised as a harmless crab claw orchid, and the recovering Mr. Bird was strangled to death as soon as he touched it!
St. Mungo's Hospital has not been able to explain how this potted plant appeared in the ward. It is hoped that those who know the inside will provide clues.
On the day Ivan, Harry and Mr. Weasley went to the Ministry of Magic for trial, they met Mr. Bird in the elevator.
He worked in the Department of Mysteries, so what appeared to be an accident was a murder, a clever murder.
As long as the name is not left, there is no way to find out who sent the plant.
It seems that after the events in Norway, Voldemort has started to speed up the progress of obtaining the prophecy ball.
After a while, the "Hogwarts Wizarding News" was also sent, which described in detail how the Death Eaters escaped from prison.
Much more detailed than the Daily Prophet, but not much of value.
However, "Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry" has brought obvious changes. You must know that the number of students who subscribe to "Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry" in the school is far higher than that of "Daily Prophet". It depends on those reports, but I am very interested in the two columns of the newspaper's product promotion list and after-school homework analysis. Browse and read the address:
