Chapter 324 Helga: He Is Fudge?

Seeing that everyone present had reached a consensus, Henry felt much better: the task assigned to him by Lord Slytherin was one step closer to success.

When a Minister of Magic's policy is questioned in public and then overturned, his political life can be said to be infinitely close to the end. This shows that his prestige has fallen to a pathetic level, and there are too many people who are dissatisfied with him.

At that time, he doesn't need to do anything. People who have ambitions for the position of Minister of Magic will automatically come out and contact him, and he can just sit and make an offer. This is also the advantage of pure-blood families. They can sit on the Diaoyutai and accumulate wealth, status, and reputation for their families little by little. Before they come to the front and take the seat of the Minister of Magic, they will hardly be losers.

Oh, no, I still have to do one thing, that is, to report my progress to Lord Slytherin, so as not to make him wait anxiously.

Henry felt that it was just that the Lord was unwilling to disclose his identity. If he exposed his identity in the future, it would only take a word to dismiss Fudge.

After successfully gathering a group of people with enough voice, Henry decided to take them to see Fudge and ask him to abolish the Dementor Outward Bound Act - as for how to catch Sirius, it was not their concern, they just wanted to ensure that there would be no more Dementors near Hogwarts.

Fudge quickly arrived at Hogwarts and met Dumbledore, who had been waiting for him for a long time, at the school gate.

"Albus, this is really an accident." The flash of anger in Dumbledore's eyes scared Fudge, and he subconsciously defended himself.

After he finished speaking, he realized: No students were injured, why should he be nervous?

Fudge's mood quickly calmed down. As a mature Minister of Magic, he had already thought about the solution to this incident on the way here.

First appease Dumbledore, deal with Hogwarts, and then fool the parents who don't know the truth outside, the purpose is to make a big thing small.

The two most important points of this solution are that one is that Hogwarts can't make a fuss, and the other is that those parents don't collude in advance.

Fudge was trying to achieve the first point, so even though he didn't agree with it in his heart, he still kept a low profile, kept apologizing to Dumbledore, and put on a look of fear and trepidation.

He knew that Dumbledore was old, and old people were always easy to fool.

Sure enough, the anger in Dumbledore's eyes gradually extinguished, and he told Fudge that no more Dementors could appear near Hogwarts.

Fudge blinked and thought that this was not okay. Without Dementors guarding, who would catch Sirius Black? He just wanted to catch the first person to escape from Azkaban as soon as possible.

He didn't really care about Harry's safety. He insisted on placing Dementors around Hogwarts because this was the place where Black was most likely to appear.

"Can I go to the Black Lake first? I heard that they were buried in the soil and then sunk to the bottom of the lake?" Fudge did not directly answer Dumbledore's request and changed the subject.

"Of course, I was also very surprised by this." Dumbledore stepped aside and invited Fudge into Hogwarts.

"You are the headmaster, don't you know what happened?" Fudge was a little surprised when he learned that Dumbledore was also "surprised".

'Is Dumbledore lying to himself? ' Such a thought flashed through his mind, 'He is very dissatisfied with my behavior of sending Dementors, so even if he can use the Patronus Charm to disperse them, he still chooses to activate the school's defense magic and seal all the Dementors...'

Don't say it, this idea seems quite reasonable to Fudge.

"Hogwarts is a magic school with a thousand-year history. There are countless mechanisms inside. Even if I am the headmaster, I can't master all the secrets of the school. Even if the four founders are resurrected, they must feel very unfamiliar with the current castle-in fact, one morning I held my urine..."

Fudge patiently listened to Dumbledore telling him the "anecdote" of holding his urine and looking for a toilet. When they reached the edge of the Black Lake, he couldn't wait to shout, "Is that it? I saw it. The outline of the Black Lake is a little different from what I remember!"

Dumbledore nodded, took Fudge to the lake, and told him that the 100 Dementors were now at the bottom of the lake.

Fudge took a look at the bottomless lake and swallowed his saliva.

This kind of deep lake that looks calm but has no bottom is most likely to trigger people's inner fear. He always felt that there might be monsters at the bottom of the lake - this idea was right, there were indeed 100 Dementors at the bottom of the lake.

While Fudge and Dumbledore were chatting by the Black Lake, Les and Helga were also chatting in the castle.

"Old Viper, your skills haven't regressed much! I'm so envious of that large-scale freezing rain!" Helga leaned against the window, feeling the moist air outside the window, and praised Salazar's domain.

Soon after the Quidditch game ended that day, the rain fell even more violently, and the sky seemed to be cut open. However, after a day and night of heavy rain, the rainy weather that had lasted for several weeks turned sunny.

"You too, the power of the earth is truly astonishing. If I'm not mistaken, if you want, you can change the topography of Hogwarts now?" Les also spoke in high praise of his old friend.

Helga nodded. If she wanted, she could indeed change the topography around Hogwarts.

"I kind of want to build Hogwarts on the top of a mountain a few thousand meters high, a very steep crater, with Hogwarts in the middle and the Black Lake at the bottom of the crater..." Rice became excited. He felt that although the terrain of Hogwarts was good now, there was still room for further optimization.

Hufflepuff looked at him as if he was a madman.

"You can go to the basement to find Rowena and ask her to make one for you. In reality, I still ask you to be more realistic. If it is really that high, students will run faster during class breaks and run out of oxygen." Helga mercilessly complained about her old friend.

"Wait, who is the person next to Dumbledore?" Her eyes casually swept across the edge of the Black Lake, and then saw Dumbledore and Fudge.

Rice looked closely: Isn't that Fudge?

"That person is Fudge? The one who placed the Dementors near Hogwarts?" Helga narrowed her eyes, "He's so good, how dare he step into Hogwarts?"

Rice glanced at Hufflepuff and decided to hold his old friend back and not let her beat the current Minister of Magic in front of Dumbledore.

If he must beat her, he must cover his face.

It's not that they are afraid of him, but they still want to live a peaceful life in Hogwarts.
