Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry

Chapter 186 184. The chain reaction after Sirius escaped from jail
The "Daily Prophet" put the news on the front page, and the sales of this issue were surprisingly good, and it was almost sold out.

The daily attached Blake's basic information to what the newspaper believed: Sirius Black, a crazy admirer of the mysterious man, who once used a single spell to kill thirteen people and blow up a street. Evil, crazy, addicted Bloody, cruel, and a murderer with a great reputation.

But all of this had nothing to do with Dudley and the others, who still lived a peaceful life in Godric's Hollow.

The castle is very safe.

Too bad one of the Ministers for Magic didn't think so.

In his opinion, Black's escape from prison must be to kill Harry Potter. He is a die-hard fan of the mysterious man, and even betrayed his best friends, the Potters, Harry's parents.

So he will definitely come to Harry.

If Harry Potter is killed by Black who escaped from prison, then his political career is over, and he will definitely be ousted from the position of Minister of Magic.

Therefore, the Minister of Magic, Mr. Fudge, who has been in power for more than ten years but has done nothing and made no achievements, began to care about the savior of the wizarding world-Harry Potter.

He thought he would be at his uncle's and aunt's house, but when they arrived at No. [-] Privet Drive, they learned from Mrs. Dursley that Harry had gone somewhere with his cousin.

Fudge panicked now
"Why did you let them out of your sight?"

Fudge yelled at Petunia angrily.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fudge only felt a strong surge, and a big fluffy hand pushed him away forcefully.

Vernon rushed out of the room, guarding Petunia behind him, and looked at Fudge fiercely: "Hey! Fatty, stay away from my wife!"

"They are no longer children, and they are still wizards. Don't we have to tie them up all the time?"

"I was in Boy Scouts when I was their age."

"I don't want to see you again, now, get out of my house!"

Ever since having little Lily, Vernon seems to have rejuvenated himself, exercising desperately. Although his fat outline has not completely disappeared, he can already be called lean and strong.

At least in terms of physique alone, he is much stronger than Fudge.

"Muggles!"

Fudge fell to the ground and pulled out his wand angrily after getting up from the ground, intending to teach Vernon a lesson.

"Sir Fudge, I do not advise you to do this."

Before Fudge cast a spell, a deep voice sounded beside him.

"I should remind you that these two are Mr. Potter's closest relatives, and they are also Mr. Dursley's parents."

"If you do this, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction between the two of you. I don't think that's what you want to see."

"Wizards can't cast spells on Muggles casually, even you as a sir."

The speaker had tea-brown hair and bushy eyebrows, a pair of sharp yellow eyes behind gold-rimmed glasses, and a very serious expression on his square Chinese-character face, which gave off a sense of calm and prestige.

With that curly hair, it looks like an old lion.

This is the current Auror Chief of Staff - Rufus Scrimgeour.

He was in charge of the mission to capture Sirius.

As a former veteran, Rufus addressed Fudge not as minister, but as officer.

By the way, Rufus himself has a good relationship with the Carlo family, and Dudley has met him a few times.

"Dursley" heard the name, and Fudge paused.

Fudge didn't really care much about Harry, even though it was rumored that he might be a powerful wizard.

He didn't believe this statement at all, he just regarded Harry as an ordinary little wizard, um, the more famous one.

But Dudley is different.
The fact that Dudley snatched Lucius's position as school manager with a wave of his hand was still a sensation, and Lucius himself was laughed at for a while.Dudley himself left a deep impression on Fudge, and it is definitely not an easy character to be supported by all Slytherins.

Fudge was just incompetent, but he wasn't stupid yet.

"Heald. Has the Ministry of Magic found any trace of them?"

Leaving Privet Drive, Fudge tried every means to find Harry's whereabouts, but Dudley's anti-tracking measures were very good, and the Ministry of Magic couldn't find any trace at all.

There was no news for three whole days.
"Could it be that he was killed? No, Harry must be found!"

Gradually, Fudge began to panic, his obese body began to tremble, and he kept wiping the sweat secreted from his forehead with a handkerchief, and every minute that passed, he felt anxious.

Of course he wasn't worried about Harry's safety, but his own Minister's throne.

"Mr. Dumbledore should know where they are, he knows everything."

It is also unknown who suggested it to Fudge.

In other words, the usual Fudge would definitely not give the person who made this suggestion a good face.

But today is different.

"Yes, yes, Dumbledore. Come on, let's go to Hogwarts." Fudge's eyes lit up when he heard the name Dumbledore, and he couldn't wait to shout, and immediately ordered his men and himself to go to Hogwarts.

In case of indecision, go to Dumbledore, which is what Fudge used to do.

"Connelly, don't be impatient, the children are fine, don't worry."

Dumbledore, who was wearing a nightgown full of stars, looked helplessly at the intruder, Fudge and his party.

It was almost midnight now, and he was ready to fall asleep.

"Albus, you promise!" Fudge said stubbornly.

"I promise." The helplessness on Dumbledore's face became more and more obvious.

I haven't seen you care about Harry so much before.
Dumbledore remembered some things in the past. Fudge, who had just taken the position of Minister of Magic, was not what he is now.

Although he has no ability, he is very self-aware. Unfortunately, after experiencing the taste of power over the years, he has changed.

Obsessed with power and status. But also closer to those so-called pure-blood wizards.

So does Dumbledore know where Dudley and the others are?Did know Dudley had told him.

"Tell me, Albus, where is he, please."

Listening to Fudge's constant begging, Dumbledore sighed.

"I could tell you, but Connelly, you should come back to them tomorrow morning."

After receiving Fudge's assurance, Dumbledore told him where Dudley and others were.

"That place is very safe. Uh, maybe even safer than Hogwarts." He said with a strange expression.

Dumbledore originally wanted to say that the level of security was second only to Hogwarts, but then he thought that there were a lot of things happening at Hogwarts recently, such as the invasion of trolls, the remnant soul of Voldemort, and Horcruxes (returning two) Basilisk or something
In short, it has absolutely nothing to do with safety.
