The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 1070 The Problem Solvers
Before Fudge could sort out his thoughts thoroughly, he found himself in new trouble.

Newspapers other than the Daily Prophet reported on the incident, and even published a photograph that Fudge had received earlier.It's not the same photo, but it's clearly the same style, and you can still see Peeves throwing things at the Aurors in the photo.

Also, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic actually fainted together near the gate of Hogwarts.In short, the Ministry of Magic has once again become the laughing stock of the entire British magic community. Many wizards are questioning the level of the Aurors, and even think that it is because of the poor level of the Aurors that they cannot catch the escaped Death Eaters.

Fudge's political opponents even took the opportunity to add insult to injury, mocking Fudge's incompetence, and hinting that Fudge's ministerial position is coming to an end.

Fudge had to convene a high-level meeting of the Ministry of Magic to discuss how to solve the current problem.

"I'm sure this is definitely a good thing done by those people at Hogwarts." Fudge slammed several newspapers on the table, and roared angrily, "Some guys with malicious intentions are going to Trying to smear the Ministry of Magic and reduce the credibility of the Ministry of Magic is a serious violation..." Halfway through the speech, Fudge seemed to have forgotten something, and turned to look at Percy.

"Community disturbance!" Percy added.

"Yes, the crime of disturbing public order." Fudge waved his fist angrily.

Everyone fell into a brief silence, bowed their heads and stopped looking at Fudge. This so-called "crime of disturbing public order" was only added to the Ministry of Magic law a while ago.

Today's Ministry of Magic is becoming more and more absurd under Fudge's leadership.

"I can understand your mood, Minister, but right now we don't have much energy to waste on Hogwarts." Auror Office Director Rufus Scrimgeour spoke first.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted other people's eyes, and those eyes seemed to say: What can you understand, what the hell do you understand.

Scrimgeour ignored the gazes of other people, and said expressionlessly: "We are seriously short of manpower. According to the news reported by the Aurors, it is not difficult to see that the Ministry of Magic's reputation in Hogwarts is quite bad, very..."

"That's Dumbledore deliberately sowing discord," said Fudge passionately. "He's trying to set up Dumbledore's Army to overthrow..."

"According to the information provided by the Aurors, Dumbledore's Army didn't exist from the very beginning, and the so-called DA refers to the Defense Association." Amelia Bones had to interrupt Fudge, otherwise God knows the topic would be discussed. Where did Fudge take it?

"Dumbledore admitted it himself," growled Fudge. "I have a clear record here that Weasley was there."

"Yes, Dumbledore did admit it," Percy agreed.

"Perhaps, there are other reasons."

"That's not important, they also set up a ridiculous 'toad alliance'." Scrimgeour frowned and interrupted: "I mean, no matter how you look at it, Hogwarts students are very We don't know if what happened to Mrs Umbridge has anything to do with the Ministry of Magic's interference in Hogwarts, but... if those so-called 'Toad League' or 'Anti-Toad League' students take other measures against the Ministry No matter how many people are sent to Hogwarts, I am afraid it is meaningless, unless we change all the professors there and use the strictest management method to control it, sooner or later there will be big troubles."

"There is also the information revealed by Harry Potter provided by Mrs. Umbridge." Rufus Scrimgeour continued: To be honest, I doubt the truth of those words, I don't mean ha Leigh Potter was lying, but he didn't even know that Potter's news came from his godfather, Sirius Black, and Black was undoubtedly a cunning wizard, so how many lies were there in Potter's words? We don't know this.

Rufus Scrimgeour doesn't want the Aurors to go deep into the Forbidden Forest to search for the so-called Dumbledore's secret base, God knows if this is true, and he doesn't want his men to go into the Forbidden Forest adventure.

Even if you really want to search the entire Forbidden Forest, it is not something that a few Aurors can accomplish. If all the Aurors go, what should we do with the rest?
"I think there should be some secrets hidden in the Forbidden Forest. Regardless of whether Mr. Potter knows what it is, or Sirius Black deliberately guided it, those words have some meaning. At least we can assume that certain conditions are true. The meaning of Dumbledore's doing this." Piers Thicknesse said, they all acquiesced to the fact that Umbridge used Veritaserum on Harry Potter, so there was no doubt about what Potter said.

As for whether Voldemort is alive or not, Thinknes is on the sidelines, and many wizards actually have the same attitude.

"We don't have enough Aurors, maybe you don't know, the Auror Office hasn't had any new Aurors for three years." Scrimgeour reminded with a frown.

There are not many Aurors in the Auror office, and no one has been hired in the past three years. Now there is a serious shortage of manpower. Even if you want to expand the number of recruits, there is no way to do it, unless you lower the standard, or... In short, these are in the Scrimgeour doesn't seem like a good choice.

"I'm more concerned about the 'weapon' that Potter said." Amelia Bones tapped her finger on the table, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"That's just a wild fantasy." Fudge glared at Amelia Bones angrily.

"I have to remind you that a lot has happened in the Department of Mysteries recently." Amelia Bones ignored Fudge's annoyed expression and said to herself: "At the end of August, Sturgis Podmore attempted to Breaking into the Department of Mysteries was arrested, Arthur Weasley was bitten by a poisonous snake before Christmas break, and Broderick Bird was hospitalized for some reason, and his death was also very suspicious. Originally I thought Rodriguez C. Bird's death was an accident, but now they have one thing in common: the Department of Mysteries. Is there something in the Department of Mysteries that draws him or her?"

"That's just your guess, Burns," said Fudge angrily, "and the Department of Mysteries is safe."

"We should recruit some wizards to join the emergency team now, and first find out what's going on at Dumbledore's secret base." Fudge made up his mind and continued, "As for Hogwarts, let's ignore it for now, and wait for Umbridge to recover. , She will continue to be in charge of Hogwarts affairs."

Everyone felt that Fudge was ridiculous and didn't understand what the hell he was trying to do.

"Weasley, have you found out who is playing tricks at Hogwarts?" Fudge asked off topic.

"We should first find out who attacked John Dawlish and his group at the school gate. The opponent only had one person, and they easily brought down ten elite Aurors..." Scrimgeour felt that Fudge just wanted to shirk responsibility.

"There are not many wizards who have this ability and dare to do so." Fudge interrupted impatiently: "It's either Dumbledore, or Albert Anderson. The possibility of Dumbledore's personality is not high, but... "

"Ahem..." Percy Weasley suddenly coughed violently.

"...Albert Anderson is more likely. As a dueling champion, it is not impossible to bring down ten well-trained elite Aurors in a surprise attack." Fudge looked at his assistant and found that Percy was heading towards He blinked and asked with a frown, "Do you have anything to add, Weasley."

"There is no minister."

Percy sighed silently in his heart, planning to report to Fudge later.

"Speak up if you have something to say." Scrimgeour looked at Fudge's assistant. He felt that this guy wanted to say something just now. As the person in charge Fudge sent to investigate the whole matter, he must have discovered some secret.

"I think you must know the specific situation better than others, and report your investigation to me now." Burns said.

"If you have any clues, it's best to report them as soon as possible."

Not only Scrimgeour, but everyone else looked at Percy. They were frightened by Fudge's tricks, and they didn't want to continue stepping into the pit.

Piers Thicknesse even stood up directly, and reached out to Percy for the report in his hand.

Percy hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Fudge.

Fudge didn't seem to understand why Percy was looking at him, but he said, "Here."

Percy gave the report to Piers Thicknesse.

He took the report, flipped through the contents on the parchment, looked up at Fudge again, and fell into a brief silence.

Pierce Thicknesse's reaction seemed to indicate that there was something wrong with the report, and it had something to do with Fudge, so Percy Weasley didn't speak.

The others took it and flipped through it, and all fell silent. The last report was placed in front of Fudge. After flipping through the report, the Minister of Magic finally understood why everyone had such a reaction.

Albert Anderson was in Transfiguration class at the time, and the entire class could testify against him, so Fudge's suspicions of Albert could never have been established.

Fudge glared at Percy, displeased with his assistant's behavior.

However, he would never be able to realize that it was entirely Fudge's fault that the report was not handed over to Fudge in the first place.

"How likely do you think Albert Anderson is the mysterious wizard that Dawlish said? You should know him!" Scrimgeour ignored Fudge with a gloomy face, he was more interested in Albert Anderson interest.

Percy glanced at Fudge, and seeing that he had no objection, he cleared his throat and said, "If it's just based on strength, I think the probability of Anderson is not low."

"Is he very powerful?" Pierce Thickness asked curiously.

"World Dueling Champion," Scrimgeour reminded.

"I think that's his level of exposure," Percy recalls. "Actually, Albert Anderson has been renewing my perception of genius, and you know he's won a lot of world titles, but still No one knows where his limit is."

"Although Mr. Anderson has had some unpleasant incidents with the Ministry of Magic, the probability of causing trouble to the Ministry of Magic is not high."

"why?"

"Based on what I know about Anderson, that guy would just ignore the Ministry of Magic."

"Go on," said Scrimgeour.

"Once the Ministry of Magic takes the initiative to conflict with him, with his character, he will definitely fight back fiercely, and it will not be as simple as being knocked down by the Stunning Curse."

The three people who had been disarmed all fell silent.

"continue."

"Although Mr. Anderson has a good relationship with Hagrid, he is actually good with most wizards. He even set up a wizard card club and invited students from the four colleges to participate."

"So, Anderson has a good relationship with the students of the four houses, and even the Slytherin house, which has the worst relationship with Gryffindor House, can still find friends." Percy looked around the crowd and continued: "So, even if Albert He doesn't like the Ministry of Magic very much, and at most he won't work in the Ministry of Magic after graduation, especially when he has the entire class of students testifying, the probability of being the mysterious wizard is very low."

"I remember Potter once mentioned that Anderson can predict the future?" Rufus Scrimgeour was actually more concerned about this matter, "Since he has the ability to help Black find Peter Pettigrew, can we use him to find those who escaped? What about the Death Eaters?"

Everyone else around started whispering.

"I'm afraid... the probability is not high." Percy felt that this group of people was just trying to get a fart. With Albert's character, he would probably ignore them directly.

"Because Mr. Anderson had some unpleasant things with the Ministry of Magic?" Scrimgeour asked, frowning. "Tell me, Weasley, I think you should know it!"

"Looks like..." Percy glanced furtively at Fudge.

"What is it, tell me clearly, don't hesitate?"

"At the beginning, the Ministry of Magic did not offer a reward to Mr. Anderson for catching Black and Peter, but later..." Percy glanced at the few people present, and whispered: "The British teenagers of the Wizengamot..."

"If we want to use Anderson's prophecy ability for us, what should we do?" Scrimgeour asked. If Anderson is really that powerful, many problems can be solved easily.

"It's difficult, unless the Ministry of Magic is willing to pay a large sum of Galleons for the divination fee, maybe he might agree to help with the divination."

"possible?"

"Based on what I know about Anderson, it probably depends... on his mood." Percy didn't think they could succeed.

"Even if you give a large sum of Galleons, it depends on his mood?" Everyone frowned.

"Anderson himself was rich, very rich," recalls Percy.

"Is there any other way for him to work for the Ministry of Magic, now is the critical moment of employing people, I..."

"My suggestion is not to annoy him completely. It's very irrational. Once a person who rarely loses his temper gets angry, no one knows what will happen, especially Anderson has almost Dumbledore's level."

"You think he has Dumbledore's level?" Amelia Bones asked with raised eyebrows.

"Maybe not now, but it will definitely be achieved in the future. Unlike Dumbledore, Anderson is almost all-rounder. He is among the top people in every item. Maybe he can be competent in everything except being unable to have children. "

"I suggest getting in touch with him. If Anderson is willing to provide us with information, we can pay him according to the Garen who provided the clue reward on the wanted list." Rufus Scrimgeour looked up and said to everyone, "Whether it is Catch the escaped Death Eaters, or... no, as long as he can help us catch the escaped Death Eaters, that's enough."

Scrimgeour suspected that it was that guy who reminded himself earlier, and he planned to take the time to get in touch with him, at least for mutual benefit.
