Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 746 The Responsibility of the Ministry of Magic

The Ministry of Magic obviously had a secret sentinel in Hogsmeade. Otherwise, they would not have been able to get the news and react so quickly.

This group of politicians who are good at gaming also realize the sensitivity and seriousness of this matter.

Hogwarts, led by Albus Dumbledore and Amosta Braine, is actually another special political group in the British wizarding world. If it were the time when Dumbledore supported the facade alone, because of Dumbledore's "weak" character, the Ministry of Magic would not have to rush to Hogwarts to deal with the matter like a frightened bird.

They can stay in the Ministry safely and wait for Hogwarts to ask for help from the Ministry of Magic to cooperate in investigating the matter. In this way, they can still take the initiative.

But Amosta is not at all like Dumbledore. If the Ministry of Magic chooses to stay out of this matter and wants to avoid responsibility, Amosta Brain will never let it go.

The biggest problem is that the Ministry of Magic does not dare to be too tough on Amosta Brain. This is not only because Brain’s own strength prevents the Ministry of Magic from sanctioning him through force, but also because in the past two years, , the Ministry of Magic has too many clues in Blaine's hands. If he chooses to make it public, the senior officials who are now in charge of the Ministry of Magic will be ousted by the angry people one by one.

Dumbledore returned to his desk, his slender fingers crossed on his chin, and the blue eyes behind the half-moon glasses fell on the face of the sleeping Hermione, showing no emotion or anger.

Amosta was leaning on the sofa, and he was also looking at Hermione, his turbulent anger hidden behind his deep eyes.

boom--

The three magicians arrived on time.

When the minutes on the wall flashed across four frames, in the steadily burning fireplace, the orange-red flame turned into green without any warning. In the green fire tornado, Cornelius Fudge and his most capable assistant, and, for Amosta Brain, who might be angry, was eliminated, and Amelia, who was specially called, appeared in Dumbledore's office at the same time.

The fat on Fudge's cheeks trembled, and he turned his head to Dumbledore helplessly. However, he did not receive the expected response from Dumbledore. Although Dumbledore responded to his gaze, , he also had a cold expression, and his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate his heart at the moment of contact.

Dolores had a fake smile of joy on her face. She took short and quick steps to come behind Connelly. She looked at Hermione with concern on her face, but her eyes were full of indifference, and the corner of her eye was full of indifference. While observing Amosta, he was obviously very fearful.

"She survived, didn't she?"

Officials from the Ministry of Magic already have a set of ideas on how to deal with Dumbledore, but Amosta Braine has risen too fast, and the Ministry cannot fully adapt to this "rising" powerhouse in the European wizarding world. The existence of magicians.

Fudge straightened up, with a happy face, finally willing to turn his attention to Amosta.

"That's great. I thought, oh, I must admit, I was frightened by the news I received. Merlin's beard. If Hermione Granger has a problem, how should I explain to the people of the wizarding world? The Tournament After the first project, she became the people’s favorite.”

The atmosphere in the office was as heavy as lead and mercury. Amosta and Dumbledore seemed like two suns, radiating a power from their bodies that made Cornelius Fudge breathless.

"Look, Dolores, I see she's breathing!"

"Dumbledore."

But Amosta didn't respond to his gaze, just stared at the sleeping Hermione expressionlessly.

Fudge said with difficulty, his face looking horribly ugly.

As soon as he appeared in the office, the breathless Fudge immediately shouted. He didn't even look at Dumbledore and Amosta beside the hospital bed. He took off his dark green bowler hat and pulled it hard. Pulling on the bright red tie, he rushed to the other side of Hermione's bed in three steps.

Dolores needs to be more wary of Amosta Blaine.

Fudge leaned down and stared at Hermione carefully. Then, he noticed the faint rise and fall of Hermione's chest. He immediately turned back in surprise and looked at the senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic who was trying to force an ugly smile on his pale face. He said briefly Dolores Umbridge with a ridiculous little black velvet bow on her curly hair,

"Hogwarts has Dumbledore and Brian, they will make up for this terrible mistake, and Miss Granger will be safe and sound!"

"I already told you, Secretary Fudge, don't worry too much--"

Fudge's pale face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and fine beads of sweat fell one after another.

For the first time since Voldemort fell and he became Minister of Magic, Dumbledore treated him like this.

Horrible mistake?

The corner of Amosta's mouth tilted, and he finally turned his gaze to Dolores Umbridge, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Amosta--" Amelia knew very well that Fudge had his own purpose. Only she could ease the stalemate in front of her.

Sighing inwardly, Amelia nodded to Dumbledore first and said hello, then her eyes turned to Amosta and paused briefly on Hermione, with a trace of unbearability flashing across her face.

"We received a report that a young wizard in Hogwarts was attacked by dark magic in Hogsmeade. What happened? The report did not mention that there was a dark wizard there."

"Miss Granger received a parcel from the post office--"

Amosta finally spoke, but he spoke to Fudge.

He and Dumbledore had already given Fudge a blow. If he no longer gave the Minister of Magic a face, although Fudge had nothing to do with him, Amelia's situation in the ministry would definitely become difficult.

The matter was not particularly complicated. It only took two minutes for Amosta to explain the matter clearly.

The three people from the Ministry of Magic obviously did not expect that the situation would be like this. They all thought that a crazy dark wizard had infiltrated Hogsmeade without anyone noticing, and Hermione Granger was just unlucky to be chosen. As the target of attack, if this is the case, the Ministry of Magic will undoubtedly bear the responsibility for adverse public security.

"Oh, according to what you said, Mr. Blaine, that means-"

Umbridge, a woman, reacted quickly enough. After being briefly stunned, she came back to her senses and said in a somewhat joyful tone,

"I mean, maybe this Miss Granger offended a powerful dark wizard, which led to-"

"Connelly, who is the Head of the Department of Magical Traffic?"

Dumbledore directly interrupted Umbridge's attempt to place part of the blame on Hermione herself, saying in a cold tone.

Amosta smiled inwardly, seeing that Dumbledore had such a tough side.

"Oh, what?"

Fudge didn't expect Dumbledore's sudden question. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Umbridge subconsciously.

"Dolores, Director of Transportation, took over the position of Director. I mean, after she became Senior Deputy Minister, she oversaw this department on her behalf. What happened, Dumbledore?"

Umbridge's face turned red and she glared at Dumbledore with hatred.

"The murderer sent the package to Hogsmeade via the post office, Mr. Minister—"

Amosta stood up expressionlessly, staring at Fudge and Umbridge coldly across Hermione's bed.

"May I ask if the post office is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Magical Transport?"

Fudge was stunned for a moment, while Umbridge's face turned red and white like a marquee, and her eyes wrapped in loose eyebands showed annoyance.

If it was a security issue, then the first person to be blamed was Amelia Burns, so she followed with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, things turned around and she was actually involved!

Umbridge stared at Blaine with a stern expression. At this time, she had to defend herself. It was unrealistic to expect Fudge to speak for her. However, it was a pity that Blaine did not give her a chance.

"This package was sent to Hogsmeade through the post office under the Department of Magical Transportation, not a private or school owl. Then, the Department of Transportation has an unshirkable responsibility!"

Amosta's tone was cold,

"Don't the post offices conduct any pre-inspection before mailing the package?"
