Chapter 1918: Chapter 1046: A New Identity in the Muggle World
As for Little Sirius, the first inmate to successfully escape from Azkaban, the Ministry of Magicâs reaction was much faster than usual.
Even the Minister of Magic, Fudge, rushed over immediately.
And the meeting location was the ruins of the bathroom where the battle had previously occurred, an ideal place for the Ministry of Magic to make a general prediction.
Fudge wore his hat and looked a bit sombre.
After seeing the battlefield with his confidants and several important department heads from the Ministry of Magic, Fudge couldnât help but sigh.
âI didnât expect the most worrisome thing to happen after all, Little Sirius has infiltrated Hogwarts and caused such massive destruction, thanks to the professors for assisting in the capture, we can now hand Little Sirius over to us, since Azkaban canât hold him, we will give him the most severe punishment,â
Fudge spoke with determination, confidently declaring.
At this time, although Little Sirius had not yet regained his magic wand, he was also not restricted in any way.
The previous misunderstandings had been thoroughly explained, so naturally, he couldnât be restrained.
He was just in a âdrunkenâ state after the Truth Serum, feeling a bit unclear-headed.
He kept mumbling that he was guilty.
Facing Fudgeâs accusations, he didnât have any motivation to argue, instead, he started crying.
However, Harry, who already knew the truth, hastily spoke up.
âOh, Little Sirius is innocent, it was Little Dwarfs·Peter who did all of this, didnât the professors say?â
Harry turned to look at Magg who had previously gone to inform them.
âI believe I made it clear when I contacted them, the mastermind behind all of this is Little Dwarfs·Peter, and we have substantial evidence, all the previous scenes are recorded, and thereâs the interrogation under Truth Serum, it couldnât be wrong.â
Professor McGonagallâs face also showed dissatisfaction.
Little Sirius was also one of her numerous students, now that his injustice had been cleared, Fudge still held such an attitude, which truly made Magg very dissatisfied.
She also recalled Snape and Tao Yuâs actions earlier, realizing that they couldnât wait for the Ministry of Magic to arrive.
Decisive action was needed, otherwise, the Ministry of Magic would definitely ignore the truth for its own face.
âI think you are being deceived by Little Sirius, Little Dwarfs might have been under a Soul-snatching Curse or something, okay, donât defend this criminal, we need to take him away.â
Fudge completely ignored Harryâs words and didnât care about Professor McGonagallâs previous notification.
The truth didnât matter to him!
As long as his announcement outside, complemented by the Prophet Dailyâs publication, that would be the truth!
Little Sirius escaping Azkaban was already a huge disgrace for the Ministry of Magic, a significant stain during his tenure.
If they re-evaluate Little Sirius, and the Ministry of Magic end up awarding the murderer the medal, it would be enough to make him step down!
This was absolutely unacceptable to Fudge.
âToday we must take Little Sirius away, no one can stop us, not even Dumbledore.â
A plump aunt wearing pink girlish clothing immediately added from the side.
She was one of Fudgeâs most loyal subordinates, Dolores Umbridge, known for her loyalty.
âHavenât you seen the messages I sent? Voldemort has already been resurrected and youâre still thinking of covering it up! We have all the footage here, we can show it to you.â
Professor McGonagall was somewhat incensed.
She was a person who adhered to rules, but the people in front of her were wantonly trampling on the rules.
This made Professor McGonagallâs hands grip her magic wand tightly, her fingertips whitening with anger.
âDonât say such jokes, the Dark Lord is already dead, it was our Savior, Harry, who did it.â
When Fudge said this, he smiled at Harry, then continued.
âAs for the magical images and such, letâs forget about them, maybe youâre just trying to exaggerate some of the losses with a Confusion Spell, to cover up Hogwarts being invaded, Little Siriusâ invasion is too embarrassing, if itâs the Dark Lordâs resurrection, then itâs fineâŠâ
Fudge was completely judging others by his own standards, and wouldnât touch the matter of the Dark Lordâs resurrection.
During his tenure, absolutely no Dark Lord resurrection events would occur, absolutely not!
âFudge, you have to face reality.â
Just then, a gentle voice came over, Dumbledore, who had been out on a trip, was walking down the corridor.
Despite being mindful of Dumbledoreâs profound magical achievements and unrivaled prestige,
Fudge was more concerned about Dumbledore coming to compete for his position as Minister of Magic, never fearing that this reasonable leader of the White Wizard would strike against him.
You can mislead a gentleman with his uprightness!
âDumbledore, the investigation of Little Sirius is a matter for the Ministry of Magic, even if everything you say is true, we need to investigate the truth, you canât just say whatever you want, Little Sirius already confessed! Itâs already concluded!â
âThe person must be taken away, thatâs the rule of the Magic World, is Hogwarts as an educational institution going to interfere with us?â
Fudge declared confidently.
âPreviously, the panic caused by the Hogwarts Secret Chamber and Snake Monster already resulted in many complaints from parents to our Ministry of Magic, you canât just concoct such incredible stories to resolve your problems.â
Upon pausing, Fudge pressed down on the brim of his hat and, with a firm and domineering tone, stated decisively.
