Hogwarts of a certain magic

Chapter 40 The Means of Politicians

You can search for "a magical Hogwarts novel (www.soxscc.com)" in Baidu to find the latest chapter!Zhuo Geng went to deliver the letter to Dumbledore, and Miria was still there.

William took out five Nats, and Miria proudly stretched out a long leg and asked him to put the coin in a small leather pouch tied to his leg.

Then, with the remaining snacks in his mouth, he flew out towards the owl shed at Hogwarts.

William opened the envelope. It was not a letter, but an expedited version of the latest Daily Prophet.

Several people gathered around William, watching the latest investigation by the Ministry of Magic.

After William opened the newspaper, the headline was the attack on the Ministry of Magic.

I saw the title written in heavy black ink: shock!Important material evidence was found in the Ministry of Magic attack.

There is also a photo below-the magic wand!

William looked very familiar, he should have been familiar, not long ago, had seen it in Diagon Alley.

—Lucius Malfoy’s wand!

It was indeed Lucius' wand, with Malfoy's clan emblem engraved on it, and on the top of the wand, there was a dent, where it was once inlaid with dove eggs.

In the fight in Diagon Alley that day, Lucius only found the dove egg, but lost his wand. Now, he appears strangely at the scene of the Ministry of Magic attack.

"Will Malfoy do it?" Qiu asked after reading the newspaper.

Listening to everyone's description, Lucius Malfoy seemed to be a bad person.

"Autumn, their family are all dark wizards!" George said angrily.

"Back when the mysterious man fell, Malfoy should have been punished. He claimed that he was controlled by the mysterious man, and he also paid a lot of Jin Jialong to return to peace.

The Malfoys are not good things. I don't doubt what he did."

George was still angry about what happened in Diagon Alley that day, and Lucius scolded them for reproducing like mudbloods.

Mudblood is the worst word in the magic world.

Cedric held his chin and said, "But that day Malfoy was fighting in Diagon Alley. We all saw it."

Qiu pointed to a certain paragraph in the newspaper and said: "According to the report, the attack happened in the first half of the night, so he can go.

You said that he lost his wand, but who would steal a wand worth ten gallons instead of stealing diamonds?

This is likely to be self-directed and acted by him."

Qiu's analysis makes sense.

But the twins exchanged glances.

Fred glanced around and whispered: "Remember the day when my father said Mad-Eye was investigating Malfoy?"

"Who is Crazy Eye?" Qiu asked in confusion.

George said, "Mad-Eye's name is Moody. He is an Auror who is almost half-retired.

Mad-Eye is very powerful. The Death Eaters he caught can fill half of Azkaban's cell."

Fred went on: "The most important thing is that Mad-Eye is definitely on our side... I mean, he and Dumbledore have a very good relationship and are very capable."

"Since the Mad-Eye is watching Malfoy, have you noticed anything?" Cedric asked.

"There are indeed some." George considered his words."This is what Fred and I overheard."

"My dad told Malfoy that day that Mad-Eye was investigating him, just to irritate him and move the dark magic items hidden in the house.

After Malfoy went back from the fight, he really went to sell things at night, and the crazy-eyed man caught him in the Bogin Bock magic shop in Knockdown Alley."

Fred replied with regret: "The crazy-eyed man is too anxious, he should wait a few days!

Although Malfoy sold the necklace with the curse, the black magic was not high, he just came to test the water.The ministries can be released on bail with a fine at most, without having to enter Azkaban."Wenxin School www.wenxinxuetang.com

Qiu thought for a while, and said in doubt: "But, doesn't this happen to prove that Malfoy didn't attack the Ministry of Magic?

He went to sell things at night, how can he have time to attack?"

Fred smiled bitterly: "That's the problem. The crazy-eyed man was very upset when he heard that magic was attacked.

That night, if he didn't catch Malfoy, the other party would not be able to clean himself, at least he would go to Azkaban for a while."

With an extremely confused expression on Qiu's face, she frowned and said, "Since Malfoy did not attack, why does the Daily Prophet report on Malfoy's wand? Isn't this deliberately misleading everyone?"

"Scapegoat, Autumn." William explained. "The Ministry of Magic could not find the attacker. Fudge needs a scapegoat to divert his attention temporarily.

This will make them less incompetent, and the Ministry of Magic will have less pressure."

Unjust, false and wrong cases are never alone, and the magical world is no exception.

William had been puzzled before.

During this time, the Daily Prophet reported on Weasley's fight with Malfoy.

The contradiction between the two families is well known, and this kind of thing simply cannot be put on the table.

However, the newspaper with the largest circulation has been tracked for more than half a month.

Now William finally understood that Fudge was trying to cover up the attack on the Ministry of Magic.

The outbreak of a major event, if you want to cover the past, you must use more hot spots to distract the people who eat melons.

This is a common practice in later generations.

People who eat melon are like fish, and their memories are short-lived.

As the heat dissipated, no one would discuss the serious incident that made people grit their teeth until it broke out next time.

The Ministry of Magic was attacked by a dark wizard, and this is such a scandal that must be suppressed.

This incident was undoubtedly a serious blow to the Ministry of Magic's reputation.

Especially now this special node, the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, has only been in office for half a year.

Fudge couldn't tolerate an incompetent label on his head.That way, for a politician who is committed to a long-term reelection, the blow will be devastating!

So he chose to let the Daily Prophet report on the fighting in an attempt to divert everyone's attention.

It's just that Fudge underestimated the impact of the attack, and the rumors still spread.

When the Ministry of Magic found that it couldn't stop it anymore, it simply didn't cover it, and took the initiative to reveal it.

At this time, almost a month has passed since the Ministry of Magic was attacked.

Public opinion is angry after being delayed for so long to report and deal with it.

Many times, ordinary people don't care about the truth of the incident or the consequences of the incident. They are angry at being fooled.

Those in power cover up the incident, which is essentially a fool.

Smart politicians will just throw out the murderer, or one or two scapegoats, at this moment to draw the attention of the people who eat melons again.

The nature of an assault that caused the Ministry of Magic to be devastated is completely different from a case in which a murderer has been caught.

And Malfoy was such a scapegoat who hit the gun, and the wand found at the scene in the report was also the best breaking point!

Regardless of the truth, William realized that the newly appointed Minister of Magic was not as incompetent as Hagrid had said before.

At least when dealing with ordinary people, Fudge is skillful and an extremely old politician.
