Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 807: Stupid Fudge

Ivan founded the newspaper primarily to address the cost of purchasing magic books and materials, but also to use the newspaper to argue with the Ministry of Magic in public opinion and to make his own voice appear less passive when this happens.

It had to be admitted that he had thought too simply, or had no idea that Fuji and the Ministry of Magic would have such no bottom line.

Control over a newspaper, restricting the publication of content, would normally be illegal.

But the Minister of Magic does have this right, and the relevant regulations are covered in both the Wizard Secrecy Act and the War Act.

This has not happened for a long time, and it is clear that doing so would give the impression of a strong dictator, but Foggy would rather do it, and he would clearly mistake it for a war, a war between him and Dumbledore.

“Trouble is more than that, Evan, you really should have seen what the Daily Prophet said about you during this period.” Lupin said, "They describe you as a little wizard who, sheltered by Dumbledore, does not know the thickness of the heavens and the earth, conducts all sorts of dangerous magic studies. They even say that you are studying black magic and have found many Slytherin students to prove it...”

“Oh, this is so funny!” Ivan said he was really studying black magic.

Lupin gave a few examples of how Ivan was studying black magic in the newspaper. To be honest, most of them were relatively basic studies, and many Ivan didn't need to study them at all. He knew the correct answers directly from Tom Riddle's diary or black magic books.

These chaotic stories really don't fit the reality. In Ivan's view, it's a bit disdainful.

Although they may have tried their best to make Ivan evil enough, they dragged him straight to the entrance level of black magic...

Ivan wondered if publishing some of his own recent research results would directly overthrow the world of magic and let them know what is true of dark magic and what is truly unknown of heaven and earth.

If you don't have the facts, don't talk nonsense, okay?!

“What else did they say?” Ivan asked.

“The main thing is to describe you as dangerous, so naturally your words are not credible.” In addition to you, Harry is the subject of their highlights, "Lupin continued," unlike you, who purely took Harry for a laugh. They seemed to think that Harry was a foolish, all-powerful person who caught the attention of others. He yelled about scars all the time and beat the black devil's head as a baby and thought he was a big, sad hero or something. He kept pretending to say a few poisonous comments about Harry. ”

“These sound really bad, was they written by Rita Skeeter?! ”

“No, I don't know why, she rarely sent any articles, but the others have done enough, and they seem to have found a draft of your two stories with Assistant Rita Skeeter, which is what she wanted to write…" Lupin said, "The more angry Harry has been lately about this, the worse he gets at him, the more eye-openers there are in the school, and those Slytherin students are watching Harry, Ron and Hermione closely. ”

“Damn Slytherin! Sirius said reluctantly," They themselves are the Death Eaters. ”

“So no one in the magic world knows the truth now? ”

“Dumbledore told the truth, which is the main reason why we are now in such trouble.” Despite Fuji's warnings, Dumbledore announced this at a special meeting convened by the Ministry of Magic and the International Union of Wizards, where he delivered a speech announcing Voldemort's return, and then the newspapers covered all the stories about you, all rumours, because he spoke of both of you. ”

A brief silence, the current situation was indeed very bad, and Ivan was wondering what should be done so that public opinion could not continue to spread.

“They're desperate to discredit Dumbledore now!” Lupin continued, "He lost his position as President of the International Union of Wizards last week because they thought he was old and overpowered, but that was simply not true, and after Dumbledore's speech, the wizards of the Ministry voted to drop him. They demoted him, he was no longer the chief magician of Wesengamo, and they were still discussing the withdrawal of his first Order of Merlin. ”

“Stupid Fogey, he's all fucked up, everyone knows he's afraid of Dumbledore, afraid of what he wants to do. Sirius said," He has done his utmost to defend his position and rule, and Voldemort and the Death Eaters are exploiting it. ”

“Indeed, Foggy thinks Dumbledore is conspiring to overthrow him, and he thinks Dumbledore himself wants to be the Minister of Magic.” Lupin went on to say, "It was driven by this crazy idea that he did so many crazy things. ”

“But everyone knows Dumbledore doesn't want to...”

“Of course he doesn't. Normal people know.” Sirius said, "He never wanted to be a minister, and when Millison Bagno retired, many wanted him to take over as a minister. Dumbledore refused and supported Foggy's competition with Buddy Crouch, who later took power, but he never forgot how many people had supported Dumbledore, although Dumbledore had never applied for the position. ”

“Deep down inside, Foggy knew Dumbledore was much more intelligent than he was, and much better at magic than he was. When he first became a minister, he also spent three days and two days looking to Dumbledore for advice and help.” But then he seemed to like power and his confidence grew, "Lupin said. He was obsessed with the feeling of being a magic minister, and he convinced himself that he was the one with wisdom, for which Dumbledore purposefully created events. ”

“What a fool, right lost his eyes!” Ivan sighed.

In a way, Fuji is actually quite good, but when it comes to rights, it becomes something else entirely.

Their biggest threat right now is Voldemort, but the biggest trouble is Fuji and the Ministry of Magic, which is ironic.

“After all, that's why Dumbledore warned us not to report the incident. Foggy has been staring at us, and Dumbledore won't have anything worse going on for the time being, but we're different!” Lupin sighs, "If he finds evidence to prove that we are opposed to the Ministry of Magic, he could lock us all up directly in Azkaban. If that's too bad, that's exactly what the mystery wants to happen, we have to be cautious..."
