The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Chapter 398 Tom who skipped class

"This is the latest reform of the Ministry of Magic. The owls that deliver letters have been replaced by these paper airplanes." Fudge proudly showed off his political achievements to Dumbledore. "The previous group of owls caused bird droppings all over the Ministry of Magic. , not anymore..."

He opened the paper airplane and read the message on it. After he read this passage, he froze in place. The words on the paper airplane gave Fudge the feeling of being slapped in the face.

"What's wrong?" Dumbledore saw that something was wrong with Fudge's condition and asked him about his condition very thoughtfully.

"Peter Pettigrew ran away..." Fudge replied mechanically, his eyes blank.

Dumbledore: ...

He patted Fudge on the shoulder to express comfort, and then left silently.

Dumbledore felt guilty for Fudge. Because he knew this plan very well, and it can even be said that he made a great contribution to it.

As Minister of Magic, Fudge has made many small moves in the past few years, but he has never made any major mistakes. However, he is planning to overthrow him... This makes Dumbledore a little uncomfortable.

But it’s just uncomfortable!

Because Dumbledore had to use a phrase he hated so much: for the greater good. Between Fudge and Voldemort, Dumbledore chose Voldemort without hesitation. In order to destroy Voldemort, Dumbledore could sacrifice himself, so what does it mean to sacrifice Fudge?

In order to destroy Voldemort, Fudge could only be wronged.

It was Tom who intercepted Peter Pettigrew on the way.

He found the dementors guarding Peter in advance and ordered them to install two stealth smoke bombs on the carriage - this was a new invention of Fred and George. After use, a large amount of thick smoke would be emitted, completely blocking the surrounding vision. It covers, the smoke is very choking, and it also has a certain stun effect, which can effectively interfere with the opponent's use of magic to fight back.

Fox took him with him and stayed behind the carriage. Tom was cautious and waited until the carriage had flown out of Britain before launching his attack.

He first summoned the patron saint, and the younger brothers who had already been notified quickly fled in all directions. The acting was very realistic. Then he detonated the smoke bomb in the carriage, opened the door when the car was in chaos, and dragged Peter out. , then rode Fox and disappeared without a trace.

Tom's movements were very fast. It took no more than thirty seconds from summoning the Patronus to snatching away Peter. Counting from detonating the smoke bomb, the whole process took less than ten seconds.

It was so fast that Kingsley didn't even react.

After Tom left, Kingsley and Tonks in the carriage fell into silence.

"What should we do, Kingsley, I feel like my head is going to explode!" Tonks felt her mind went blank and she had no idea what to do.

Kingsley wanted to say something, but he also felt that the world was spinning, and everything in front of him had a double image. The Auror's intuition told him that something was wrong, the smoke just now was poisonous! So he first made a cut on his thigh and used the severe pain to keep himself awake. Then he grabbed Tonks' hand, concentrated hard, and used Disapparation to leave the carriage.

With a loud bang, Kingsley and Tonks suddenly appeared in an alley in Westminster, London. The two of them sat down against the graffiti-covered wall, breathing in the fresh air and waiting quietly for the dizziness in their heads to subside.

After their heads cleared, they struggled to stand up, walked into the Ministry of Magic, and reported the matter of Peter's abduction.

Soon, the news caused an uproar. Fudge didn't try to hide the news either - this kind of news couldn't be hidden at all! He mobilized all the Aurors and strikers, searching for Peter along the way, but found nothing.

In fact, when Fudge saw the news of Peter's escape, he knew that the probability of finding Peter was extremely slim. If a wizard wants to escape, it's really not possible to catch him immediately. He may transform into various weird disguises, ride on the Floo Network, or use apparation. Maybe when Kingsley and the others return to the Ministry of Magic, Peter will have already landed in Normandy.

What's even more fatal is that he was taken away. This plunged Fudge into a deep state of fear: Who would be interested in Peter? There is no doubt that the mysterious person Yu Dang. What is the purpose of the mysterious Yu Party? Let the man whose name cannot be mentioned make a comeback.

Fudge couldn't stop trembling when he thought of this.

"What should I do... what should I do?" He turned around twice and suddenly thought that he should ask Dumbledore! Why not ask the great Dumbledore?

So he panicked to find Dumbledore, only to learn that he had returned to Hogwarts. Upon hearing the news, Fudge swayed and almost fell to the ground.

Now it was as if his bones had been ripped out, and he had completely lost his strength and fighting spirit.

All this was seen by Amelia Bones. After the initial panic, she came back to her senses and realized that it was most likely Dumbledore who was up to something - Peter should have been kidnapped by his people. Gone, probably disposed of now.

Although she was shocked, she also understood that the best time for her had arrived. She just had to wait and wait until Fudge was sure that he could not find Peter Pettigrew, then she could initiate impeachment. This would definitely oust Fudge, and then she would naturally become the new Minister of Magic!

Looking at Fudge sitting in his seat, Amelia Bones winked at her cronies and called them aside.

Fudge was completely unaware of Amelia Bones's little moves, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Where has this guy Tom gone?" Hermione sat outside the classroom angrily holding her schoolbag. Tom skipped the first class this morning. Fortunately, Professor Lu Ping did not teach a new lesson today, but just helped everyone summarize the knowledge points they had learned before.

"I hope you will not just have a big meal during the Christmas holiday, but also review what you learned in the first half of the semester." He said.

Hermione thought that Tom might not have gotten up in the morning, so she simply skipped the first period of class, but she never expected that when the first period ended, Tom was still nowhere to be seen!

"If this guy dares to skip the entire morning's class, I'm going to give him some punishment!" Hermione clenched her fists and secretly made up her mind: She must not spoil this guy anymore and give him some punishment. It might be a good idea to ban Tom from looking at the Defense Against the Dark Arts notes he compiled today.

Where is Tom at this time? He was in the headmaster's office, accompanied by Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black.
