Well, Fudge admits that Solim has a point. But it makes sense, doesn't this also prove that Dumbledore can pull him down if he wants to? Power is like this: whether you want it or not, as long as you have the ability to threaten my position, then I must suppress you.

"Don't blame me for thinking too much, Dumbledore. Fudge said, "There's been a lot of bad talk in the ministry lately. "

The Kingsley standing behind Fudge was Dumbledore's man, and he knew very well what was going on in the Ministry of Magic lately. Through the impact of the news of Voldemort's return, people can panic, so that people hope that there will be a wizard with high magic power to lead them against Voldemort and his minions - this is human nature, but count and count, and now the most powerful wizard in the hearts of ordinary people is Dumbledore, so once the news of Voldemort's return is announced, there is no need for Dumbledore to mention it himself, and then someone will naturally stand up and say that Fudge will step down and give way to Dumbledore. Whether it is sowing discord or not, the biggest gap between Dumbledore and Fudge comes from this.

Solim could see it, and if they didn't pull out the thorn in Fudge's heart, they wouldn't want to talk properly.

"I've always wanted to do one thing: to put an end to Lord Voldemort once and for all. Dumbledore said, "Connelly, Voldemort has a knack for playing with people's hearts, and this gap between me and the Ministry of Magic is exactly what he wants, and if we don't come together, he will break it down." "

"Isn't it just a matter of trust, there are so many witnesses here, wouldn't it be nice for you to make an 'unbreakable oath'?" Solim yawned, "With this, I think I can save a lot of trouble in the future." "

That's right, once there is no barrier between Dumbledore and Fudge, then it can indeed reduce a lot of internal friction, and you can focus more on dealing with Voldemort, instead of intriguing and stumbling each other.

If they did, the disgusting woman probably wouldn't be at Hogwarts next term. The woman surnamed Umbridge was very impressed with Solim, and if the pink toad did come to Hogwarts, Solim was really afraid that his impulse would cause something irreparable.

An unbreakable oath - ah, this is indeed the best way to dispel the mistrust between the two, but unless there is no choice, no one will want to sign such a forced contract. Once such an oath that can never be broken is established, both parties to the oath must abide by the agreement.

No one likes this kind of vow that is coercive and binding, and once you make an unbreakable vow, it means that you must keep it, there is no room for reversal, there is no possibility of bargaining.

So Fudge refused without hesitation - he didn't even wait for Dumbledore to speak.

"What a joke! I, as Minister of Magic, would not have made such an oath with no room for manoeuvre!" it was evident that Fudge was very resistant to Solim's proposal.

"Also, what the hell is going on with you Selwyn, are you going to bet on both ends?" Fudge suddenly pointed the finger at Solim.

Hearing Fudge's words, Solim was stunned for a moment, and then thought that it was Christopher who was using Selwyn's name to form a faction in the Ministry of Magic and help Voldemort win over those wavering pure-blood families.

"First of all, I would like to correct you, Minister, that the Selwyns have no inclination in this matter, and there is no such thing as a 'two-headed bet'. Solim said solemnly, "Whether it's me or the guy who moves around in the name of the family, we only represent individual actions. "

Fudge frowned, looking at Solim suspiciously.

"I can tell you plainly: Christopher is in ambush for ...... Ahem, the Dark Lord's affairs have already made the old man in the family very dissatisfied, he can't get any help from the family, and he can't represent the attitude of the Selwyn family - his actions are completely personal. "

Solim expected that after learning that Christopher had defected to Voldemort, he would definitely use Selwyn's name to win over people's hearts, after all, it was impossible for those old men in the family to issue a statement in the newspaper saying that any behavior of the side branch of the family had nothing to do with the family, and it was a very humiliating thing for a family like Selwyn to defect to Voldemort. It's like a member of the underworld family running to follow a thug who only knows how to collect protection money for junior high school students - it's really shameless to say it.

He ...... Also a Death Eater?" Fudge looked at Solim in surprise, he had no idea what was going on, "and he took refuge in ...... That person?"

"Yes, he was there when the Dark Lord was resurrected, and even the resurrection ceremony was done by him - he contributed his own flesh, and Harry stabbed him in the arm. "。

"And you're just standing there watching?" Sirius' voice came from around the corner. "Watching Harry get hurt, watching Voldemort come back to life?"

That's what I'm saying, I'm not up to the level. Solim rolled his eyes at Dumbledore, who was looking at him, and thought to himself, what else could I do if I didn't look at me? Rush up and fight them? With Christopher here, he definitely can't beat him, not to mention that there is a Peter next to him, even if Peter is alone, Solim should stand by and watch or stand by, Voldemort must be resurrected - this is also what Dumbledore meant.

"Anyway, I've brought your godson back, isn't it a bit too much for you to say that?"

"Sirius ......" Lupin on the side tugged at his good brother.

"Who else has been there since Tom was resurrected?" Dumbledore asked.

"The fathers of several of our students, and some people who are related to them. Solim was vague, mainly because he didn't bother to say the names of those whole bunch of people.

"Except for those who were locked up in Azkaban, and some of the dead, they basically went. However, the Dark Lord said that a few did not go, and he made it clear that - " Solim looked around, did not find Karkaroff, and said with a little regret, "- will let those who betray him know the consequences." "

Dumbledore nodded slowly.

"Alright, alright—" Fudge tiredly snatched his top hat from Kingsley's hand, "it's not too early, just as we said before: Crouch and I'll take them back to the Ministry of Magic." "

With his hat on, Fudge didn't want to stay here at all now, he was even afraid to hear any familiar names from Solim's mouth, he just wanted to get out of here now and go back to his familiar office.

Walking to the door, Fudge looked back at Dumbledore.

Albus ...... He really ...... Is it really back?" Fudge looked at Dumbledore with a pleading look, how he wished that everything that had happened recently was just a huge joke. But Dumbledore's words ruthlessly shattered Fudge's last illusions:

"Yes, Voldemort is back—it's true. "

With a sigh, Fudge bent over and left the headmaster's office with Kingsley.

Fudge is gone—perhaps a better "escape" would have been a better description for Solim.
