Chapter 768 Cornelius Fudge: ???
In the following period of time, Hogwarts, including the entire English wizarding world, seemed to have returned to peace.
To be precise, it should be as peaceful as ever.
After all, not many people knew about the actions of Firth and his team that day, and the noise made by the Death Eaters had long since subsided.
Only a few careful students found that Dumbledore's appearance in school had further decreased, and many matters that should have been handled by the principal were mostly handed over to Professor McGonagall, and a small part was handled by the other three deans.
In addition...
"Harry, what's wrong with you recently?" Ron looked at his friend curiously. He found that since Harry followed Dumbledore and Firth to find the Horcrux, the whole person changed a lot...
Not only did he start to study hard with an attitude that made other Gryffindors look at him sideways, but he also became calmer on weekdays, not as easily irritable as before.
The most obvious thing was that during Quidditch training, no matter how bad the performance of the players was, Harry just encouraged them with gentle words and never lost his temper again.
In addition, Harry no longer murmured with Ron about Malfoy and other Slytherin students behind their backs. Although it can be seen that he still dislikes Slytherin, he no longer has the hostile attitude he had before.
Simply put, Harry has become mature. However, Ron has not yet understood this change. He just feels that Harry now gives him a feeling similar to Bill and Charlie.
"It was just a little irritating that day," Harry smiled faintly, "I couldn't help at all at that time, let alone want to deal with Voldemort and the Death Eaters in the future."
Neither Firth nor Harry told Ron about the experience that day. It's not that they don't believe him, but Dumbledore has explained it in advance, and Harry himself doesn't want to publicize it... Especially after Firth brought back the real locket and Kreacher's story, he felt that compared to Regulus, what he did was nothing at all.
So Ron now only knows that the locket Horcrux was indeed found and destroyed by Harry and his friends, but he doesn't know what happened that day.
Although Ron was a little unhappy about being excluded, this was Dumbledore's request, and he couldn't blame the cat and his friends. Moreover, if it weren't for Fish, he probably wouldn't even be able to see those memories... Ron still had some idea in his mind.
As Harry became mature and reliable, his reputation among girls, which had dropped a lot because of the cat, actually recovered a lot, especially some junior girls who didn't know his "glorious history", and they were eyeing Harry covetously.
This caused Ginny to become very sensitive recently. Whenever she had time, she would follow Harry closely.
As time entered March, Snape's Felix Felicis was also brewed, but Fish didn't need it for the time being, and... couldn't use it either.
"You have taken Felix Felicis twice during this period, and the second time you took a large dose, so you can't use Felix Felicis again in the next three months." Snape reminded when handing a large jar of Felix Felicis to Fish.
Then, he sneered again and said, "Of course, Potter doesn't care. He is already an egomaniac without the side effects of Felix Felicis."
Mao Mao pretended not to hear it. He didn't care about the complicated grudges between Snape and Harry.
"I know! Anyway, Albus has been cured, and Fish can't use Felix Felicis for the time being, meow!"
(ΦωΦ)
Mao Mao avoided the topic of Harry and answered decisively. Snape felt a little uncomfortable...
He worked hard for half a year, but in the end it was useless...
Couldn't Dumbledore wait a few more days? !
Snape complained in his heart.
"By the way, Severus." Fich didn't know that Snape was secretly criticizing Dumbledore at this time. After putting away the big jar of Felicia Felicis, Maomao tilted his head and asked curiously: "How is your plan with Albus going? Did Voldemort fall for it?"
(ω)
"I don't know," Snape shook his head and said, "I have passed the news that Dumbledore is 'seriously injured and dying' and you are 'powerless' to the Dark Lord, but I haven't received a reply until now, and there is no movement from Draco."
"Is he scared by Fich and dare not show up?" Maomao shook his head, "Voldemort is too timid."
As a result, the day after Maomao mocked Voldemort's courage, a big event happened in the magic world of England.
[Dementors collectively lost control, a large number of criminals escaped from prison]
The front page headline of the Daily Prophet was printed with such a line of big words.
"The Dementors rioted collectively last night. They have expressed their unwillingness to continue to be employed by the Ministry of Magic and left Azkaban on their own. The criminals imprisoned in Azkaban took the opportunity to escape from the prison. The Ministry of Magic Aurors are trying their best to catch them..." Hermione read the report quickly and didn't even bother to eat breakfast.
Other students and even professors were similar. They were all whispering about this matter. No one paid attention to breakfast at all...
Except Fish.
"Strange meow... Fish should not have drunk the Felicis yesterday..."
(~)
Mao Mao mumbled incoherently while chewing his food.
Hermione did not notice his mumbling at this time, but continued to read the content in the newspaper: "After investigation by the Ministry of Magic, the mastermind of the Dementor riot this time is most likely Dolores Umbridge, the former Deputy Minister of Magic and Senior Investigator of Hogwarts. The criminal had sent two Dementors to attack Harry Potter, the 'Boy Who Lived', the summer before last... The Ministry of Magic suspected that this was most likely the order of former Minister Cornelius Fudge."
Even if the Dementors in Azkaban escaped, the Ministry of Magic still refused to admit that Voldemort had returned, and put the blame on Umbridge, or even Cornelius Fudge, who had retired at home.
This statement naturally did not get the approval of Hogwarts students. What kind of person is Umbridge? Don't they know it?
If it was reasonable for her to send two Dementors to attack Harry by relying on her position in the Ministry of Magic, but now that she has become a prisoner, she can still make a group of Dementors listen to her, no one will believe it.
Of course, Harry and Hermione did not feel as strange as others, because they had learned from Dumbledore that the current Minister of Magic and some officials had long been controlled by the Death Eaters with the Imperius Curse, so they would certainly not admit that Voldemort had resurrected, and would not even mention this possibility.
"It seems that even if a new Minister is replaced, the Ministry of Magic will still only know how to play dumb as always." Seamus, who did not know the truth, pouted and sneered: "If you ask me, Dumbledore should have been allowed to run for Minister. Anyway, he rarely appears in the school now, and the position of the principal can be completely handed over to Professor McGonagall."
Seamus' words were agreed by many people. Everyone was very disappointed with the Ministry of Magic's response, and at the same time they were worried that the escaped Dementors would hurt their families.
Especially those little wizards who were born in Muggles, their parents had no way to fight Dementors.
Although it was a bit inappropriate, Hermione couldn't help but feel lucky at this moment, lucky that she had successfully persuaded her parents to give up their work and stay with the Scamander family.
"The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic are still trustworthy, and Dumbledore should not sit idly by." Neville comforted: "If you are still worried, I can write back and take your parents to my house for protection."
"Our family can also," Ron also echoed: "As long as you don't mind."
"Why don't we just hold a general meeting of the Cat Club tonight," Hermione took out his fake gold galleon, "We can match according to our respective home addresses, so that it will be much more convenient even if we transfer."
"Fish's family can also take in your parents," the cat who had finished breakfast wiped his mouth and came over and said: "Anyway, Minerva is usually in school, and the family can take in a lot of people."

Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar.
