Chapter 365 Cornelius Fudge
"Minerva~"
●ω●
When Professor McGonagall opened the door, Fish ran to the door. The kitten did not slow down and jumped directly into her arms.
"Fish? Why are you here too?"
Skillfully holding the kitten in his arms, Professor McGonagall rubbed his cat's head and asked in surprise. Then he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the white "beard" on Fish's lips. clean.
"Hermione and I will come over for a drink, meow."
Fish rubbed himself into Professor McGonagall's arms twice, then pointed at Hermione and others in the corner and said.
Following Fish's finger, Professor McGonagall saw Hermione and the three Weasley boys sitting on a small round table by the window, nodding and giggling at him with a reserved expression.
Professor McGonagall nodded slightly in response to them, and then led Fish to the bar. As he walked, he asked, "Are you coming with us, or are you going back to be with your friends?"
"Fish is following Minerva, meow!"
(ΦωΦ)
The kitten chose the mother cat without hesitation.
"This little gentleman is Fish McGonagall, right? No wonder you and Dumbledore are so protective of him. What a lovely boy!"
A short and fat wizard wearing a dark yellow-green bowler hat and a pinstriped cloak caught up from behind. He looked at Fish with a smile and said, and stretched out his hand to touch the kitten. head.
Fish quickly dodged the man's fat hand and turned around to the other side of Professor McGonagall, frowning and glaring at him.

"Minerva, who is this fat man?"
The little cat didn't like this familiar guy very much. Although the smile on his face was friendly, Fish felt that his smile was fake, as if he was wearing a mask.
Cornelius Fudge's expression changed slightly when he saw Fish's appearance, but he quickly returned to his smiling appearance.
Fish's feeling was not wrong, because Fish had injured a large number of dementors before. Fudge went to Dumbledore to ask for an explanation, but was forced back by the headmaster. This man had already begun to have a crush on Dumbledore. The dissatisfied Minister of Magic, Hate House and Wu Di also had a very bad impression of Fish, who they had not yet met.
So now, although Fudge has also been affected by animal affinity, he now values power more. Rather than liking Fish, he wants to take this special little wizard as his own.
So he continued to say to Fish in a gentle tone: "My name is Cornelius Fudge, and I am the Minister of Magic. After graduation, Fish, do you plan to work in the Ministry of Magic?"
"Ministry of Magic?" Fish tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly realized: "Oh - it's the bad place that sent the dementors here! Fish don't want to go there!"
(●Benefit)
The little cat lowered its ears and bared its teeth at Fudge.
"Sorry, Mr. Fudge," Professor McGonagall moved sideways, completely blocking Fish behind him, and said to Fudge, who had a stiff expression: "Fish doesn't know much about the Ministry of Magic, so he may be a little jealous of you. Misunderstand."
"That's right, Feishu didn't mean it."
Hagrid and Professor Flitwick on the side also started to defend Fish.
In fact, even if they didn't speak, as a qualified politician, Fudge couldn't show anger towards Fish. He quickly returned to his cheerful appearance, waved his hand and said, "I also know about Fish's situation. Of course it's impossible to blame him."
Seeing that Fudge was not going to pursue the case, Professor McGonagall should be relieved, but at the same time, she did not forget to educate her children.
"Fish, the Ministry of Magic sent the dementors here to protect Harry. It is a place responsible for various affairs of the entire wizarding world in England. Mr. Weasley works there. Also, mother is coming to Hogg Watts also worked there before taking office.”
While explaining to Fish, Professor McGonagall patted Cat on the back of the head and pushed him in front of Fudge.
"oh……"
(●ω●)
The little cat scratched his head and said honestly to Fudge, "I'm sorry, meow."
In fact, it's not that Feishu didn't know these things, he just didn't pay much attention to them. In addition, Fudge gave him a bad feeling and his disgust towards dementors, which made Maomao say such rude words just now. .
"It's okay, it's okay." Fudge smiled and waved his hand.
He was not pretending. Apart from being separated from Dumbledore in recent years and misunderstanding that Dumbledore wanted to steal his Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge himself was still a generous person.
While talking, several people came to sit in a corner with relatively few people around.
Professor McGonagall patted Fish on the back and said to him: "Should you go and tell your friends first? You haven't finished your drink yet, right?"
"Yes!"
∑(ΦωΦ)
Upon hearing this, Fish immediately turned around and ran towards Hermione and the others.
"Fish will go sit with Minerva and the others for a while, and then come back later."
The kitten picked up the half-drinked milk and said this to Hermione and others, and then emphasized it to Harry: "Harry, please don't run around, meow. It would be terrible if Minerva finds out." ”
After saying that, without waiting for Harry to answer, he rushed back to Professor McGonagall holding the cup.
"Ahem," George cleared his throat after Fish left, and asked mysteriously, "Do you want to know why the Minister of Magic is here?"
Everyone had already learned from Harry that the fat man in the top hat was the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge.
"What are you up to?"
Hermione frowned, folded her hands over her chest, and asked as she examined the twins.
Fred also cleared his throat like George, while pulling out a few flesh-colored strings from under his robe.
"I solemnly introduce to you all," Fred put the flesh-colored strings on the table, and then introduced them in a stage play tone: "The latest product of Weasley's Trickster Shop - Retractable Ears!"
"Retractable Ears? What's the use of this thing?"
Ron poked the string on the table with his finger and asked curiously. He still admired the inventions of his two brothers.
Especially...
They can also make money,
make a lot of money.
"It's very simple," George picked up one of the retractable ears, put the smaller end into his ear, and then pointed to the slightly larger end that looked a bit like an ear and said, "We can use this to collect sounds from far away and on the other side of the door."
"I must remind you that eavesdropping on others is a very bad behavior."
Hermione, holding her hands, poured cold water on him with a serious face.
"But... don't you want to know what Professor Fash and Professor McGonagall are talking about?"
George smiled slyly, making Hermione hesitate instantly.
So George struck while the iron was hot and said, "Besides, Fash usually relies on his sensitive ears to hear so many things about us. It's not a big deal for us to listen to what they are talking about?"
"That's right, and what we are saying now, Fash will definitely be able to hear it." Fred echoed from the side, "If he didn't want us to eavesdrop, he would have reported it to Professor McGonagall long ago."
"Then... then listen..."
Hermione, who broke her promise, lowered her head shyly, but her hand firmly grabbed the retractable ear on the table.

Regarding Fudge, although he broke up with Dumbledore after the Goblet of Fire, his dissatisfaction with Dumbledore should have arisen long ago.
But this person's nature should not be too bad. After all, in the third part, he was really worried about Harry, and he cried when talking about Peter Pettigrew.
No matter how much drama there is in it, in general, he is not a bad person. He is almost a politician who has gradually become ambitious after being in a high position, but has not been completely corrupted by power.
