The Alchemist of Harry Potter

"Rufus, what's going on?"

Fudge put today's "Daily Prophet" in front of the director of the Auror's office with an expressionless face, feeling unspeakably depressed and aggrieved.

He felt innocent, as if everything was on his own, just because he was the Minister of Magic?

This is very unfair.

Scrimgeour glanced at the headlines of the Daily Prophet, then looked up at Fudge, who had no expression on his face, and said, "Robards is still undergoing Auror training. It’s a good change, which is why this misunderstanding is caused.”

"Misunderstanding? It's no use telling me there's a misunderstanding." Fudge took a deep breath. "Everyone has a bad sense of the Aurors at the Ministry of Magic right now. Did you know that? This morning, I found that my mailbox was overrun with protest letters. Now, there are at least fifty letters, can you understand my mood? Now, can you explain to me why Aurors who are still in training are sent out on missions.”

"The Aurors are on the lookout for Black all the time," Scrimgeour reminded. "We are severely understaffed, and the Ministry of Magic hasn't had a qualified Auror in years. Trained Aurors take part in less important patrols, and having experienced members take them with them can give them some training and make up for the lack of manpower."

Fudge was silent.

There is indeed a similar tradition.

"Many people have asked us to evacuate the Dementors from Hogwarts, and many villagers in Hogsmeade have protested to me that the Dementors disturb their normal lives. As for Dumbledore, he never liked that. Dementors. To be honest, I don't like it either."

"Nobody ever liked to deal with those guys," said Scrimgeour.

"Well, I'd like to hear your advice now, do we need to return the Dementors to Azkaban, they've been causing too much trouble lately."

"All evidence shows that Black is hiding around Hogwarts, and that Dementors are the best way to find him." Scrimgeour obviously did not agree with the return of Dementors to Azkaban, "I think Black's threat is much bigger than the trouble caused by the Dementors, and we'd better capture him as soon as possible, or God knows what else Black will do."

"If they stay near Hogwarts, we'd better not let them cause trouble." Fudge actually didn't want to get rid of the dementors. Dementors were obviously more suitable for hunting down the vicious Black than Aurors.

However, Fudge really didn't want to take the blame, lest it be his fault every time something happened,

So this time he pulled people to join the pot.

"Dementors are just hungry, the Ministry of Magic can't provide them with too many human victims, and hungry dementors can't stand the temptation of food." Scrimgeour couldn't do anything about it, because he couldn't Unauthorized offering of human sacrifices to Dementors requires the signature of the Minister of Magic.

"Didn't you already get over two hundred people?"

Fudge was not satisfied with the answer, that this number of human sacrifices was enough.

"The Dementors have completely drained the happiness of those people." Scrimgeour was also helpless: "I think it's best to provide another batch of human victims and negotiate with the Dementors."

The tricky job was left to the Minister for Magic, and Scrimgeour was solely responsible for bringing Black to justice.

While Fudge was grappling with the Dementors problem, Rita Skeeter, who made waves at the Daily Prophet, was also brewing her article.

The Daily Prophet's big sale gave Rita Skeeter a whiff of some wind, and a letter from someone gave her some inspiration.

Rita Skeeter plans to write a story about Dementors.

She believes that those dark creatures that have been "out of control" for several times will definitely become a good gimmick, arousing the vigilance and attention of parents of students, and the next issue of "The Daily Prophet" will undoubtedly be a big hit.

It turns out that Rita Skeeter is really talented at this, she's smart, she knows what people want to see, and she knows how to cater to people's tastes and sell the paper.

So, Rita Skeeter's report on the Dementors was a big hit.

Wizarding families with children studying at Hogwarts began to pay attention to the issue of Dementors after reading the report by Rita Skeeter.

Although most wizards have never come into close contact with the evil dark creatures and cannot understand the fear they cause, now is their chance.

Just go for a drink at the Three Broomsticks or Hog's Head in Hogsmeade, and you'll have the chance to get up close and personal with the Dementors.

Any wizard who has actually been in contact with dementors will understand what Rita Skeeter wrote in the newspaper: When the dementors are near, all the good feelings, all the happy memories will be sucked from you. You only have the worst memory of your life left in your mind.

For a time, more wizards went to Hogsmeade to drink, and when people really felt the horror of Dementors, they became more and more determined to resist Fudge's absurd practices.

When Fudge saw the report there, he was so annoyed that he tore the paper to shreds angrily.

On the second day of that report, many wizards who had personally experienced the evil of dementors wrote to Fudge, asking him to remove the dementors around Hogwarts, so that those monsters would not get out of control again and cause irreparable damage. Bad fruit.

Even though Fudge has repeatedly claimed that Black is hiding around Hogwarts and that the Dementors remain on patrol there is entirely for the safety of Hogsmeade villagers and Hogwarts students, and has repeatedly stressed that the Ministry of Magic has strengthened The management of the Dementors will not allow the previous case to happen again, but there are still many people who question Fudge's decision.

Originally, Fudge wanted to throw the blame on Scrimgeour. It was the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic who dealt with the Dementors, and Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror's office, should be in charge of this matter.

However, the dumping of the pot was unsuccessful after all, as if everyone was looking for Fudge, and once something happened, it was Fudge's problem.

If Albert knew about this, he would definitely give Fudge the title of "King of the Pot".

There aren't many wizards in the British wizarding world who know who the head of the Auror office is, but basically everyone knows their Minister of Magic is named Cornelius Fudge. Now that something is wrong with the Ministry of Magic, it must be the Minister of Magic's responsibility. .

In fact, they are really not wrong. It was indeed Fudge's order to let the Dementors go to Hogsmeade. He knew that Black's goal was Potter, and naturally he needed to protect the safety of the Savior. By the way, he was able to catch Black. The first time, let the Dementor give him a kiss to complete the agreement with Malfoy.

However, Fudge never thought that this incident would cause him so much trouble.
