"I heard that there was an accident in the Triwizard Tournament," he put on a concerned look. "I heard that someone sneaked into Hogwarts with Polyjuice Potion and took Harry Potter away?"

"You're right, Connelly." Burns took the initiative to pick up the conversation, "It's Barty Crouch Jr., who pretended to be Alastor Moody and did the Triwizard Tournament. Hands and feet, the purpose is to resurrect Voldemort..."

"You-Know-Who... is back? Nonsense. Stop joking, Amelia..."

Fudge paled in shock, as if someone had hit him hard in the face.

He blinked dazedly and stared blankly at Burns, as if he couldn't quite believe what he had just heard.

Although he was already prepared, he still couldn't believe it when he heard about Voldemort.

"We've just confirmed this," said Burns, "and we've heard from Ye Ting, the patrolman, and the three warriors. Harry heard it from Voldemort, how Voldemort--from Bertha Jorkins learned that Barty Crouch Jr. was still alive - rescued him from his father and used him to capture Harry. Let me tell you, the plan worked. Jr. Crouch has Help Voldemort make a comeback."

"No no!" said Fudge angrily. "Crouch is a madman on the run! From what I know, I can only conclude that he seems to think that he is doing according to You-Know-Who. Will!"

"Voldemort did give him orders before, Connelly," Dumbledore interjected, "and, that plan worked. Voldemort regained his flesh."

"Listen to me, Dumbledore," said Fudge, with an unexpected smile on his face, "you—you can't really believe all this. You-Know-Who—is back? No kidding, no kidding. ... Needless to say, little Crouch may have thought he was acting on the orders of You-Know-Who - but how could such a lunatic be taken seriously, Dumbledore..."

"Tonight, when Harry touched the Triwizard Cup, he was sent directly to Voldemort." Dumbledore said firmly, "He saw Voldemort come back to life, and Mr. Ye and the other two warriors brought Harry back to life. Li brought it back, you might as well come to my office and I'll explain everything to you."

Fudge still had that odd smile on his face.He also looked at Harry, looked at Ye Ting and the two girls beside him, then turned his eyes back to Dumbledore and Burns, and said, "You - um - what are you going to say to them? Take all the bills, right?"

"Of course I believe them," Burns said firmly, her eyes glowing now, "I heard Harry tell what happened after he touched the Triwizard Cup; Conspiracy speculation and analysis, it all makes sense and explains everything that has happened since Bertha Jorkins disappeared last summer."

Fudge still had that weird smile on his face.He glanced at Harry again before replying:

"You're going to believe that Voldemort has returned, to listen to the four children, and these children...he..."

"Are you ready to taste the magic of your child's mouth?"

Ye Ting's icy words made Fudge shut his mouth in time and blushed slightly, but then a stubborn and stubborn expression appeared on his face.

"And I noticed," he said, looking at Dumbledore again, "that you've been keeping certain things about Harry under wraps? He's a Parseltongue, isn't he? There's something eccentric in his behavior— —”

"I suppose you're referring to the pain in the scar that Harry has been feeling?" said Dumbledore coldly.

"So, you admit that he's been feeling these pains all the time?" said Fudge quickly. "Headache? Nightmares? And maybe -- hallucinations?"

"Listen to me, Connelly," said Dumbledore, taking a step toward Fudge, "Harry is as sane and sensible as you and I. The scar on his forehead didn't confuse his mind. I believe, Harry's scars only hurt when Voldemort was lurking nearby or felt a special desire to kill."

Fudge took a half step back from Dumbledore, but his expression remained stubborn.

"Excuse me, Dumbledore, I've never heard of a spell scar like a bell before..."

Chapter 0295 Breaking

"I saw Voldemort back!" Harry exclaimed suddenly. "I saw the Death Eaters! I can name them! Lucius Malfoy—"

Snape moved abruptly, but as Harry looked at him, Snape's eyes turned to Fudge again.

"Malfoy was acquitted!" said Fudge, clearly offended. "A very old family—giving generously to a good cause—"

"McNeil!" Harry continued to call out the names.

"Also acquitted! Currently working at the Ministry of Magic!"

"Avery - Nott - Crabbe - Goyle -"

"You're just repeating the names of people who were convicted of not being Death Eaters thirteen years ago!" said Fudge angrily. "You can find those names in past trial reports! Look it up in God's paper, Dumbledore. Lido - at the end of last year, this boy's head was full of wacky stories made up - his lies were getting more and more bizarre, and you still believed it - this boy can talk to snakes, Dumbledore , and you still think he's trustworthy?"

"You fool!" cried Burns. "Bertha Jorkins! Mr. Crouch! The deaths of these people were not the random act of a lunatic!"

"I can't see why not!" Fu Shi also shouted, his face flushed purple, no less angry than his colleagues, "It seems to me that you are all determined to create a panic and destroy our thirteen Everything that has been painstakingly created over the years!"

"Really? Is that what you think?" Bones's tone suddenly became cold, as if he was stating a given fact.

"Voldemort is back," she said. "Fudge, if you accept this fact immediately and take the necessary steps, we may still be able to salvage the situation. The first and most important step is to free Azkaban from the control of the Dementors. —"

"Playing the piano!" cried Fudge again. "Remove the dementors? I'll be kicked out of the office if I make this suggestion! Half of us know there's a dementor on guard in Azkaban, and we won't be able to do it until night. Get some sleep!"

"Connelly, if we let Voldemort's most dangerous confidantes watch over guys who will serve him when ordered, the rest of the people won't sleep well!" Burns said. "Those guys can't be right. We are loyal, Fudge! Voldemort can provide them with more power and fun than you can provide! Once Voldemort has the support of Dementors behind him, his old besties will come back to him, to At that time, it will be difficult for us to prevent him from restoring the power he had thirteen years ago!"

Fudge's mouth opened and closed, as if there were no words to express his anger.

"The second thing we have to do—and we have to do it right away," Bones further said, "is to send a message to the giant."

"Send someone to deliver a letter to the giant?" Fudge exclaimed, suddenly speaking again. "What kind of madness is this?"

"Give them a hand of friendship before it's too late," said Burns, "or Voldemort will draw them in. I remember he's done this before, of all the wizards. , only he can offer them rights and freedom!"

"You—you must be joking!" Fudge gasped in surprise, shaking his head and backing away from Burns again, "if the wizarding world learns that I have dealings with giants—people will The giants hate it, Amelia—my career is over—"

"Connelly, you're so obsessed with your office that you've lost your sense of judgment," Burns exclaimed, her voice rising, "if we don't act - history will remember. Lives us: it is we who stand by and give Voldemort a second chance to destroy the world we have worked so hard to rebuild!"

"Absurd," whispered Fudge, continuing to step back, "crazy..."

A moment of silence followed.

Madam Pomfrey stood beside Harry dumbfounded, covering her mouth with her hand, Ye Ting watched from the sidelines, Fleur and Hermione both stared at Fudge in surprise.

"If you're so obsessed, Connelly," said Burns, "we'll have to part ways. I'll tell the truth about Voldemort's return at the Ministry, I'll get the Aurors to do the right thing, and, I Will impeach you on Wizengamore!"

There was nothing menacing in her voice, it sounded like a statement, but Fudge was furious, as if she was approaching him with a wand.

"Okay, okay, Amelia," he said threateningly, waving a finger, "you've finally shown your wolf ambitions, and you've been against me with all your might, just wanting to be the Minister of Magic yourself. , right? That's why you dare to forge the rumor of the Dark Lord's return, and fight against me! I won't let you succeed!"

"The only thing I'm against is Voldemort," Ms. Burns said. "If you're against him, Connelly, then I won't impeach you."
