Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way - Chapter 389

c375 Is he really a genius?

When Sirius showed various unusual behaviors, Harry was already sure in his heart that something must have happened between them and Professor Snape.

According to Harry’s understanding, his parents entered Hogwarts at the same time as Professor Snape, and seemed to be students of the same level.

And Sirius has always hated Professor Snape.

When he first learned that Professor Snape often “imposed confinement”, he was filled with indignation and wished he could fight Professor Snape with his wand.

When he learned that he was “confinement” under the guise of going to Professor Snape, he was actually studying potions with Professor Snape.

Sirius began to remind Harry repeatedly to be careful. Snape, an old snake, was full of bad things and was not a good person.

This shows Sirius’ dislike for Snape. If nothing happened between the two of them when they were in school, Harry would never believe it.

But Harry also judged that Sirius, Uncle Remus and his father were absolutely unreasonable.

At least they think that their behavior or something they have done is unreasonable and must be morally condemned to a certain extent.

Otherwise, Sirius should have brought up what happened when Professor Snape was a student and criticized Professor Snape in front of him.

With Sirius’s temperament similar to that of a first-year wizard, Harry had no doubt that he could commit such childish behavior.

And when Uncle Remus, who had always been mature and steady, suddenly showed such strange behavior, what happened back then was worthy of discussion.

However, his godfather and uncle didn’t want to say anything, so Harry didn’t ask any further.

The twin brothers Tonks and Weasley next to them were so anxious that they felt itchy in their hearts. What do you mean by half-talking?

Our curiosity was aroused, but they were forced back into us again!

But considering their status, they couldn’t ask directly. They could only wink and make wild hints.

Sirius naturally pretended not to see it. Are you kidding me? Don’t you want to lose face?

This makes the melon-eating people very disappointed. But soon, the three people were attracted by new fun.

When going to Madam Malkin’s robe store to buy new robes, Ron and Ginny were the last in line to go in and have their heights measured, while the other little wizards who had already measured themselves were waiting outside.

Sirius really had nothing to do, so he came back after just twenty minutes and showed off to Harry mysteriously:

“Harry, do you know why the trend in newspapers has changed dramatically recently, and Professor Dumbledore is getting busier and busier?”

Harry glanced at his godfather helplessly and felt that after returning, he needed to make some suggestions to Professor Dumbledore and arrange a job for Sirius that would allow him to stay away from home for a long time.

After all, the personalities of Sirius and his Animagus are so similar that the Scottish Deerhound really needs to get out more.

As for what Sirius wanted to say, she had naturally guessed it.

After Ludo returned to the British Ministry of Magic, he began to collect information according to his own requirements.

Fudge’s recent political frustration was naturally fully reported by Ludo.

After Rita revealed the details of Voldemort’s resurrection in the Daily Prophet and paired it with a graphic description, Fudge fell into a coma and was even sent to St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries.

After receiving treatment and finally returning to work, Fudge also fell into panic.

It has to be said that the Minister of Magic is also very talented as a comedian.

In order to confirm the authenticity of the matter, Fudge did not send Aurors to investigate, but directly invited the person involved in the matter mentioned in the newspaper, his own adviser Lucius Malfoy, to ask whether the mysterious man had been resurrected and summoned him.

When hearing Ludo’s report, Harley even wondered if Ludo was deceiving herself and trying to deliver false news to herself.

However, Rita also sent similar information, and Dobby also confirmed the authenticity of this news based on the whereabouts of Lucius Malfoy.

After receiving the confirmation, Harley froze on the spot for a moment.

Is he really a genius?

Hmm… It’s really Fudge to check with Voldemort’s men whether Voldemort has returned and whether he will harm the wizarding world.

And old Lucius naturally abided by his master’s orders and used various lies to conceal the Dark Lord’s resurrection.

What? You said there are photos? Just kidding, photos can be faked!

If you think these photos are not fake, it only means that your magic skills are not high enough.

As for his whereabouts that night, old Lucius also insisted that he held a dinner party in the manor.

As a result, there were traitors at the dinner party. Several pure-blood wizards were bewitched by Crouch and his son, and put magic potion in the wine at the manor, causing all the guests to be kidnapped by Crouch and his son.

That’s why they appeared as hostages in a place that was not consistent with their noble status.

After receiving the confirmation, Fudge’s waist and legs no longer hurt instantly, and his energy was completely restored.

He first personally wrote to Barnabas Guffey, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, once again, asking him to ban Rita.

But it was naturally impossible for Barnabas to agree to Fudge’s unreasonable request.

Just kidding, Rita’s articles are so popular now that the sales of recent issues of the Daily Prophet have increased.

Ask me to ban such a hen that can lay golden eggs, and the Ministry of Magic will subsidize our losses?

So although this veteran reporter did not have a direct confrontation with the Ministry of Magic and Fudge, he kept talking about him and tried his best to save Rita.

Seeing that Rita could not be banned, Fudge turned around and sent a special pen to write a large number of articles in the “Daily Prophet” to refute her.

As a result, just a few days after he published the article, another piece of bad news came –

Fudge will be the first wizard to be impeached by the Wizengamot!

Professor Dumbledore originally had some illusions about Fudge, thinking that after seeing the evidence in the newspaper, Fudge would admit his mistakes and actively prepare to deal with Voldemort.

But with the evidence now in his face, Fudge still chose to persist in his obsession and frequently contacted Death Eaters, which finally aroused Professor Dumbledore’s anger.

Professor Dumbledore began to use his rarely used power to make a proposal in his capacity as Chief of the Wizengamot to impeach the current Minister of Magic.

Although some of the Death Eaters also served in the Wizengamot, they tried hard to maintain the situation and help Fudge delay.

However, according to the rules of the British Ministry of Magic, the proposal to remove the Chief of the Wizengamot requires the consent of more than two-thirds of the members to pass, but the proposal to impeach the Minister of Magic only requires the consent of one-half of the members.

So after traveling around for a period of time and communicating with other members of the Wizengamot, Professor Dumbledore has reached a consensus with many wizards and received half of the votes.

And just yesterday, the Wizengamot finally officially passed this proposal and launched an impeachment against Fudge.

Fudge is naturally very busy trying to keep his position as Minister of Magic. He has no time to care about the public opinion in newspapers.

Although she already knew everything about the matter, looking at her godfather’s helpless look, Harry still chose to satisfy his godfather’s desire to show off.

“I don’t know.” Harley said softly, “My dear godfather, I don’t even attend meetings of the Order of the Phoenix.”

“So you think I have relevant information?”

“Hehe.” Sirius suddenly smiled proudly, “Then let me give you some popular science…”

“Sirius, keep it secret!” Lupine lowered his voice and said sternly, “Don’t forget we are still buying robes, there are many people here!”

“Okay, okay, Professor Lupine.” Fred, who was happily eating melon at the side, quickly stopped Professor Lupine from disturbing the scenery.

“We are the only ones in the store now. Madam Malkin is still in there. How can there be so many people here?”

“And we believe Sirius,” George also chimed in,

“Sirius is so mature and stable, he will definitely not reveal secrets casually!”

Then the two of them started to flatter and flatter Sirius in unison.

Tonks also looked at Lupine longingly, helping the Weasley twins to restrain Remus.

Under the compliments, Sirius almost lost himself, raised his head proudly, and began to tell everything he knew.

“…To be honest, I never thought that Professor Dumbledore would be so angry.”

Sirius quickly finished telling all the information he knew that did not need to be kept secret, and the expression on his face was still a little unfinished.

“The look on his face in the Order of the Phoenix conference room was really terrifying.”

“Even Professor McGonagall and Snotlout were frightened at that time. Professor McGonagall’s eyes were full of worry, and Snotlout didn’t dare to look at that face anymore.”

“It’s normal. Who makes Professor Dumbledore always care about the wizarding world?”

Lupine shook his head and happened to see the Weasley brothers and Mrs. Malkin who had just walked out from behind.

“Okay Sirius, you can be quiet now. We are going to continue shopping for the children’s school supplies.”

Sirius couldn’t help but roll his eyes and stick out his tongue as Lupine turned to pay, causing Fred and George to burst into silent laughter.

The next trip was much faster. The few people quickly visited all the stores and bought all kinds of items.

Sirius stayed a few minutes longer for a butterbeer in the Leaky Cauldron.

However, Lupine, who had been a professor, would not tolerate his outrageous behavior.

After giving Sirius a punch, Sirius obediently followed his friend back to Black’s old house.

…………

In the next few days, Harley stayed at the Black mansion obediently.

Even those wand substitutes and magic mirror substitutes who were running around have basically settled down, waiting for the opportunity to come.

The main materials for the Sequence One Ceremony have been prepared for him by others, and Harley has personally inspected them and processed them on a small scale, so there is no need to worry too much.

Only one day before the start of school, Harley followed the werewolf to Knockturn Alley.

After the batch of cannon fodder from continent O arrived on the mainland, the Death Eaters arranged them near the coast of Great Britain so that they could be taken to Azkaban Island in the North Sea at any time.

The Death Eaters arranged for many werewolves to purchase ingredients from the underground black market in Knockturn Alley.

After all, no pureblood is willing to provide support to a dirty werewolf and a stupid giant, even if both parties are on the same side.

And Harley’s wand substitute has been watching them, so she also went to Knockturn Alley.

It turns out that she had wanted to go to Knockturn Alley many times, but she was unable to go due to various accidents.

After going there now, Harry had to admit that it was quite a mixed bag.

All kinds of dark magic items are sold directly and openly in Knockturn Alley without any concealment.

In the underground black market, all kinds of prohibited materials appear in large quantities.

Many of them are fakes, but there are also genuine ones.

In addition to the werewolves, Harry also discovered at least five Death Eaters in Knockturn Alley who were helping Voldemort recruit troops, but these people were all marginal figures among the Death Eaters.

It seemed that he hurt Voldemort last time and lost too much cannon fodder under his hand.

So now, Voldemort has begun to send people to Knockturn Alley to find wild dark wizards and recruit new cannon fodder.

In addition to recruiting cannon fodder there, Voldemort also ordered pure-blood families to pay high prices to purchase various potion materials, magic items and other strategic supplies.

Thanks to the Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic, the Ministry of Magic has been in chaos recently and has no time to care about what is happening in Knockturn Alley.

…………

In a blink of an eye, school started, and the students of Hogwarts boarded the train again and prepared to go to school.

However, Harry could not stay in the box for long, and soon he would go to the prefect’s private box for a meeting.

The prefect’s box was in the third carriage of the train, and it was extremely luxurious.

A former headmaster of Hogwarts set aside an entire train for the use of prefects only.

Everyone here sits on a large sofa covered with various velvet cushions.

Moreover, the small coffee table next to the sofa is filled with fruits and snacks, which prefects can enjoy for free.

There is also a small bookshelf at the back of the box, which is filled with extracurricular reading materials for various subjects, used to kill time for the bored prefects during the trip.

As for the specific contents of the books, they are “Today’s Transfiguration” for Transfiguration, “Today’s Transfiguration” for Transfiguration, and… “Today’s Transfiguration” for Transfiguration.

The case has been solved. Anyone who is not stupid can tell that this was definitely done by Professor McGonagall!

The prefect’s box is already very luxurious, but it is said that this is not the limit.

There are two carriages at the front of the train, one is for train staff and the other is for professors who occasionally ride the train.

It is said that the professor’s carriage has a special big bed and a special house elf to serve him.

They even deliver freshly baked delicacies from Hogwarts just for the professors, what a luxury!
