Chapter 323 2 News Reports

The holding of the Triwizard Tournament will undoubtedly attract the attention of British wizards throughout the year.

As the largest newspaper in the British wizarding world, the Daily Prophet will naturally report what the public likes to see.

Even if the reporter Rita Skeeter who is responsible for this matter is missing, Harry's special identity and being kidnapped during the competition will definitely occupy the front page of the newspaper the next day.

However, what is unexpected is that in fact, the day after the game, a more shocking news occupied the entire cover of the Daily Prophet!

The title of this news alone is enough to make people who see it wonder if the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet has gone crazy.

[Director Crouch, who has been missing for five months, claims: The mysterious man is regaining his strength, and I have been controlled by the Death Eaters' Imperius Curse]

The content of the news is Crouch's own retelling throughout the article. Obviously, even if the Daily Prophet dares to report this news, it dare not express its clear position in it. It neither believes Crouch's words nor questions him.

In this report, Crouch claimed that he was controlled by the mysterious man's men using the Imperius Curse after the Quidditch World Cup in September. They arranged for him to sneak into Hogwarts and attempt to assassinate Sherlock Forrester, the current professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

But the mysterious man's plan did not succeed. He successfully got rid of the Imperius Curse and was imprisoned by the Death Eaters. Finally, with the help of Dumbledore, Sherlock successfully rescued him.

Crouch described the entire report in great detail, without any concealment, and listed all the names of the Death Eaters who imprisoned him and cast the Imperius Curse.

But the three people of Jugson belonged to the dark wizards who had disappeared in the magic world long ago. Even if their identities were exposed, there was no way to directly find where they were.

Today's Daily Prophet, as expected, completely broke out in the British magic world. Countless wizards wrote to the Ministry of Magic to inquire whether Crouch's words were true and whether the mysterious man was really about to make a comeback.

Even Hogwarts was blown up on this day. Many students, like Hermione, subscribed to the Daily Prophet every day. They also received this news today, which directly overwhelmed the attack on Harry yesterday.

Many brave little wizards ran to Sherlock's office and asked him about the authenticity of the news. Sherlock did not shy away and told them that Crouch did not lie in what he said in the newspaper.

This shocked the students in the castle beyond words.

Just as the Daily Prophet was spreading everywhere today, the current British Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, had just received the newspaper.

After reading the entire report about Crouch, his knuckles holding the newspaper had turned white because of too much force.

Fudge's usually fat and smiling face was extremely ugly, his face flushed, and the muscles on his face were constantly twitching because of anger.

"Why did I get this news in the newspaper!"

The minister's secretary standing next to him said cautiously.

"We all got the news from the Daily Prophet today, and I came to inform you as soon as possible."

Fudge was furious and smashed the hand holding the newspaper on the desk.

"Crouch came back yesterday, why didn't anyone inform me!"

"Wenches said that he had told you about this matter, and you said that we don't need to care about him, and asked us to prepare a lawsuit against him for his passive work." The secretary continued to speak with a stiff upper lip.

Fudge's eyes seemed to be able to spit fire. It was not clear whether he was angry with Crouch or because of this new ministerial secretary who was not tactful at all.

"I want to know! Such a big thing, why did Crouch come to me to discuss it as soon as he came back, but wanted to publish it in the newspaper!"

The secretary hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively.

"Do you want me to call Mr. Crouch over now?"

After all, he is a professional politician. Fudge has suppressed his emotions and looked at him coldly.

"You can go back to the Centaur Liaison Office now, and then ask the newly appointed Minister's Secretary to call the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet to me!"

After Crouch suddenly threw an atomic dan into the public opinion field of the magic world without any signs, Fudge's reaction was also very quick.

The newly appointed Minister's Secretary, who had been in office for less than half a day, only knew that the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet had stayed in the Minister's office for an afternoon. The day after this heavy news was released, the new front page changed again.

[Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge: We have not received any news about the resurgence of You-Know-Who for the time being, and what Crouch said may have other purposes]

Fudge did not directly deny what Crouch said, calling him fart.

Politicians and street thugs are both hooligans, but the difference is whether they want to get a chastity after being a whore.

Fudge is undoubtedly a qualified politician who knows very well how to be a whore correctly and get a chastity.

He declared to all British wizards in the Daily Prophet that he had not received any news about the resurgence of You-Know-Who, and he had no way of knowing whether what Crouch said was true.

But what he knew clearly was that Crouch had actually always held a grudge against him for not becoming the Minister of Magic, and wanted to bring him down through various means. The internal political struggle seemed to have spread to Among the wizards.

Fudge never once said that Crouch was farting, but he kept saying that Crouch was farting throughout the article.

Regarding this report, the Daily Prophet, which did not state its position yesterday, gave a "comment" below.

To put it simply, it is to advise Minister Fudge and Director Crouch not to affect the normal order of the magical world, communicate rationally, and leave the problem to be resolved internally.

Such comments are very disgusting.

It seems that he is acting as a peacemaker, but in fact he is completely helping Fudge to speak, and directly regards what Fudge said as an established fact.

This made most British wizards subconsciously believe Fudge's words, and Crouch's reputation dropped sharply.

But there are also a group of people who are skeptical about this report and have not made any conclusions, because according to Crouch, there are still two most important people who have not spoken out.

Dumbledore and Sherlock also played key roles in this incident.

The most important key is whether they accept the authenticity of Crouch's alleged events.
