Chapter 895 Adding Trouble
It's such a pity that this scene couldn't be filmed, otherwise it would definitely be tomorrow's headlines. ?
Ivan is thinking about assigning Rita Skeeter a dedicated cameraman, just like she did before, a good photo can be the finishing touch of a report, and it is easier to attract readers' attention.
As long as you give her an extra amount of Galleons every month, Rita must have a suitable candidate in her hand.
Fudge and Umbridge hurried away, with Rita Skeeter in pursuit.
She kept asking questions about the trial, and had no intention of letting Fudge go so easily.
When the others passed by, they nodded to Aiwen and the three from time to time, but there were still many people whose eyes were looking away.
With that expression, it seemed that Ivan, Harry, and Mr. Weasley were just part of the wall.
Percy was the last to leave the courtroom, and when he came out, the atmosphere in the corridor was the most awkward.
He glanced at Mr. Weasley with a blank expression on his face, clutching a large roll of parchment and a handful of spare quills in his hands, with his back straight and his nostrils up, he strode over.
The lines around Mr. Weasley's mouth tightened, but otherwise he gave no sign of having seen his third son.
"We should tell everyone the good news, they must have been very anxious up there!" Mr. Weasley said, and when Percy's heels disappeared on the stairs leading to the ninth floor, he motioned to Alvin and Harry Going forward, "By the way, Ivan, I know you are hiring Rita Skeeter to write articles for the newspaper recently, but you'd better stay away from that woman, she will only spread rumors. In the past few years, she Got into a lot of trouble, half the work of the Ministry of Magic is done for her..."
"I will pay attention!" Ai Wen said, "We will strictly review her articles before publication."
Having said that, Rita Skeeter's scale is fine.
She knows how to guide the reader between the lines without leaving crucial evidence behind.
Even if the entire article is cross-line bullshit, there is no way for people to say anything.
As for whether she spread rumors or caused trouble, as long as it wasn't about her side, Ivan didn't care.
Judging from the current situation, with Rita Skeeter around, Fudge would have some scruples, and that was enough.
"You just know what you have in mind." Mr. Weasley said, walking up the steps, "I'll show you around the Ministry in a while, and then send you back, and I dare to dispose of that dustbin... "
"What are you going to do with it?" Harry asked with a grin.
Suddenly, everything seems to be five times more fun than usual.
After he was acquitted, his mood improved a lot, and he could finally relax and visit the Ministry of Magic.
"Oh, just an anti-jinx spell, it couldn't be easier," said Mr. Weasley as they went upstairs, "it's nothing to fix what's broken, it's mostly the attitude behind the vandalism, Some wizards might find it amusing to tease Muggles, but it might express something deeper, uglier, and I, as a..."
Mr. Weasley stopped in the middle of his words. They had just walked to the corridor on the ninth floor and saw Umbridge directing two wizards to drive Rita Skeeter out. It seemed that Fudge had given the order .
Fudge himself stood a few paces away, talking quietly to a tall man.
The man had glossy golden hair and a sharp white face.
Hearing their footsteps, the tall man turned his face.
He also stopped suddenly before he finished speaking, squinting his cold gray eyes, staring at the faces of Ivan and Harry.
"Yes, yes, Patronus Potter and Hopeful Mason!" said Lucius Malfoy coldly, with ironic emphasis.
Harry suddenly felt breathless, as if he had stepped into something solidified.
He looked at each other angrily, couldn't believe that Lucius Malfoy dared to look at him in the face, couldn't believe that Malfoy was here, in the majestic Ministry of Magic, and Cornelius Fudge was following He spoke with the kindness of a best friend.
You know, they had told Fudge themselves that Malfoy was a Death Eater a few weeks ago.
Beside Harry, Ivan also frowned at Malfoy. The last time he saw these two cold gray eyes, they were hidden behind the two slits of the Death Eater's hood. Renewed allegiance to his old master in the cemetery.
Lucius Malfoy is a very cunning person. His character and the status and wealth of the Malfoy family are absolutely absolute. He will not be completely loyal to anyone, and he will not really give Voldemort's interests away like those lunatics. In office, he always has his own plans.
In other words, he was a contender in Voldemort's camp.
In Aiwen's view, he can actually cooperate with Malfoy, and there is no fundamental difference between the two parties.
Of course, you have to be extra careful when dealing with Malfoy, he is far more troublesome than Rita Skeeter.
At least in Aiwen's current hands, there is nothing that can impress the other party.
But after he figured out Voldemort's attitude towards the Malfoy family when he returned again, Ivan believed that he still had a chance. Voldemort would definitely not easily bypass Malfoy who destroyed one of his Horcruxes.
He will keep this matter firmly in his heart, and then let their family die little by little...
When Malfoy understood all this, it was the moment when he was betrayed by Voldemort without hesitation.
"The Minister just told me how you got away with it, Potter!" said Mr. Malfoy flatly, his gray eyes fixed on Harry. It came out of the hole, really, really, like a snake."
Mr. Weasley held Harry tightly by the shoulders, warning him not to act rashly.
"Yeah," said Harry, taking a deep breath, "Yeah, I'm pretty good at getting away."
Immediately, Lucius Malfoy raised his gaze and turned to Ivan.
"Look at your mates, Potter, if I were you I wouldn't let a Mudblood stand next to me," he said slowly.
"If I were you, Mr. Malfoy, I wouldn't stand here leisurely." Ivan said, with a smile on his lips.
He decided to remind the other party, and by the way, to stimulate him a little, it would be even better if he could speed up Malfoy's defection.
Speaking of it, this is a good opportunity, otherwise he really would have no way to get in touch with the other party.
It was only fitting that a few words could add some deadly trouble to Voldemort and Lucius.
"After you lost and damaged your master's important things, based on what you know about him, do you think he will easily let you go?" Ivan said.
"What do you mean?" Lucius narrowed his eyes, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
"You will understand that Draco and I are classmates. Although there are some conflicts, we get along quite happily on the whole. Naturally, I don't want to watch him go to destruction step by step." Aiwen said, looking back at each other, happily Watching each other's gradually changing expression. 8
