The God of Ice and Fire at Hogwarts

Chapter 236: What does the life and death of the people have to do with me, Cornelius Fudge!



Not only that, after Sirius Black broke into Hogwarts Castle, a "rumor" suddenly spread among the people, that is, Peter Pettigrew was not dead, and Sirius Black was the real hero.

Although this so-called rumor seemed so absurd in the eyes of wizards, this rumor that suddenly spread among people made many people doubt the truth of the case that year.

One point that was questioned and criticized by the wizards was that Sirius Black was sent to Azkaban prison without a formal trial. This procedural loophole made the wizards doubt whether the so-called truth of that year was true.

If the spread of this rumor only caused a hint of doubt in the hearts of wizards, then an article written by "Anonymous" and published in Xenophilius Lovegood's "The Quibbler" titled "The Ministry of Magic, where darkness is bred, can't even distinguish between heroes and criminals" ignited the emotions of wizards.

This article, titled "The Ministry of Magic, which breeds darkness, cannot distinguish between heroes and criminals", uses extreme conspiracy theories to believe that Peter Pettigrew was the criminal of the year and puts the blame on the innocent Sirius Black. The article is full of distorted facts and exaggerated words, which makes many readers subconsciously think that this article was written by Rita Skeeter.

However, this seemingly absurd and inaccurate article actually inserts many truths of what happened back then in many inconspicuous places.

For example, Peter Pettigrew was not blown to the point where only one finger was left, but he escaped with only one finger; for another example, at the suggestion of Sirius Black, the Potter family temporarily replaced the secret-keeper of the Fidelius Charm with Peter Pettigrew, and Sirius Black blamed himself after the incident, so he took the initiative to confess and was sent to Azkaban prison.

However, even if these things are true, they will naturally not be recognized by people because of the absurd statements throughout the article.

Rather than saying that the wizards' emotions were triggered by the content of this article, it is better to say that this conspiracy theory made the wizards increasingly dissatisfied with the Ministry of Magic's lack of attention to procedures when enforcing the law and the fact that wizards were thrown into such a hellish place as Azkaban Prison without trial.

Many wizards appealed to the Ministry of Magic to review the case of Sirius Black, which made the officials of the Ministry of Magic extremely anxious.

Retrial?! Sirius Black hasn't even been caught yet, and they're retrialing with a hammer?!

Not only the officials of the Ministry of Magic, but even the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, couldn't sit still. If this matter couldn't be properly resolved, I'm afraid his reputation would be greatly reduced.

Even after he abdicates, he will be dubbed the "most unpopular Minister of Magic"!

Thinking of this, Fudge could no longer stay quietly in his office.

During these days, Fudge brought his subordinates to Hogwarts Castle several times to meet Dumbledore, requesting that Dementors be allowed to re-enter Hogwarts in order to capture the criminal Sirius Black more quickly.

But there is no doubt that his request was rejected by Dumbledore.

Those damn Dementors invaded the Hogwarts Quidditch field a few months ago and almost killed the students. How could Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, tolerate these damn things entering the Hogwarts territory again? !

Fudge's negotiations with Dumbledore were fruitless, and the two sides finally parted unhappily.

However, even if Fudge could not send Dementors into Hogwarts, there would be no problem in having them guard Hogsmeade village and patrol the area around Hogwarts.

However, after a large number of Dementors moved in, the residents of Hogsmeade began to complain.

But Fudge didn't care about this. As long as he could make most of the people realize that he cared about the capture of Sirius Black and made most of the people no longer dissatisfied with him, that would be enough.

As for the daily lives of the hundreds of villagers in Hogsmeade, what does that have to do with Cornelius Fudge? !

After the Dementors moved into Hogsmeade, the little wizards in Hogwarts Castle were reluctant to visit Hogsmeade on weekends. After all, they really didn't want to deal with those ghosts.

Even if some young wizards really need to go to the shops in Hogsmeade to buy things, they will leave as soon as they have bought something and are unwilling to stay in Hogsmeade for a long time.

This caused a significant drop in the bar business in Hogsmeade village, especially the Three Broomsticks and Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop, where business was almost non-existent compared to usual.

The Three Broomsticks at least had the local residents of Hogsmeade to take care of the business, but Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop, whose target customers were young couples from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, was on the verge of bankruptcy.

After all, no one would want to date a couple in a place where Dementors are rampant.

They would rather sneak out at night and meet in the forbidden forest outside Hogwarts Castle than go to Hogsmeade village openly.

While various changes were taking place in the outside world, Hogwarts Castle remained peaceful.

Even though Sirius Black had just broken into Hogwarts Castle not long ago, the frightened young wizards gradually calmed down as the professors continued to increase patrols.

On this day, in the Care of Magical Creatures class outside Hogwarts Castle, Newt was introducing magical creatures called invisible beasts to the third-year Gryffindor and Slytherin wizards.

During this period of study, the danger level classification of the magical creatures that Newt taught in the Ministry of Magic was gradually upgraded from magical creatures with danger level XX and danger level XXX to magical creatures with danger level XXXX.

Of course, even though Newt showed the little wizards magical animals with a danger level of XXXX, most of these magical animals were relatively docile and peaceful in temperament at the same danger level.

Invisible Beast is one of them.

The invisibility beast is a gentle, quiet herbivore. It looks a bit like an elegant ape-man, with a pair of big black eyes that are often hidden in its hair, revealing a hint of sadness.

The entire body of the invisible beast is covered with long, fine hair that shines like silk and silver.

The fur of the invisible beast is very valuable because its hair can be used to make invisible cloaks.
