When Amosta began to explain his thoughts, Dumbledore's expression became worse after he had not listened to a few words. This kind of behavior of using lies and words to deceive ordinary people could not be appreciated by him. He stared at In front of the window sill on the other side of the room, the young wizard was chatting. Dumbledore was once again grateful for his previous decision.
Letting Amosta stay at Hogwarts is a good thing for both the wizarding world and himself.
Ms. Bones did express some appreciation for Amosta's suggestion.
Although she has devoted half her life to safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of ordinary wizards, how could she not know that in the land of storms, there is no absolute right or wrong in the world. When facing many difficulties, principles must be compromised. Otherwise, it will only end up hurting more ordinary people who are unable to fight against their fate.
And Fudge, looking at his excitement, showed how much he admired Amosta's method.
"You're a genius, Amosta!"
The moment Amosta finished speaking, Fudge jumped up from the sofa. He made a fist and punched the palm of his left hand, smiling excitedly.
"That's right, that's it. We should first tell the people that the Ministry of Magic has captured Greyback, and then reveal the matter of Sirius. The order is very important!"
After coming back to his senses, Fudge started pacing back and forth in the office again excitedly, and muttered:
"The people will be grateful that we eliminated Greyback. They won't hold on to our faults. People's confidence in the Ministry of Magic will even soar. Sirius himself has faults. Oh, of course, we will still take responsibility. I'm going to convince old Batty, he must have nothing to say, this is a stupid thing he did in the first place-"
As he said this, Fudge smacked his lips in dissatisfaction while being excited.
"You should be gentler, Amosta. It would be much less effective if we could publicly try Peter Greyback in front of the people, and we also need to reduce the impact of this matter."
"Feel sorry--"
Amosta crossed his arms and shrugged helplessly.
"You know, Minister, when the werewolves tried to break into Hogsmeade and attack the villagers, they were so numerous and emotionally unstable that I could only use some magic that was not easy to control -"
"Understandable--"
Fudge said with a smile, but still took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"That's it. I'll go over and tell Rufus now to keep it a secret. Sirius's matter needs to be kept secret for a few days. Oh, by the way, Dumbledore, come with me. In the school Do you have any objection to the fact that the teaching staff also needs to be on the same page as us, Dumbledore?"
"Of course, Connelly--"
Dumbledore said calmly, stood up and walked towards the door.
"Oh, right!"
When the office door opened, Fudge suddenly turned around, looked at Amosta affably, and said with a smile,
"Your contribution will not be forgotten, Amosta, just wait, you will be surprised by the Ministry of Magic's thanks."
"I am looking forward--"
Amosta nodded and smiled in return.
The office door closed, Fudge took a deep breath, and was about to go upstairs with high spirits. At this moment, Dumbledore, who was too quiet, finally made him feel that something was wrong, and amplified some feelings for Amosta in his heart. Hidden worries.
"Amosta."
Fudge said hesitantly,
"Well, Dumbledore, I think since you hired Amosta Brain to protect the children, it must mean that you have complete trust in him. He is young and has such power. Of mana, he. Do you understand what I mean?"
"If you're worried about whether Amosta will follow Voldemort's path -"
Amid the whirling sound of Fudge breathing in the air-conditioning, Dumbledore strode forward, "I don't think there's much need to worry."
"I guess--"
When Fudge and Dumbledore left the room, the tense atmosphere in the office immediately eased a lot. Ms. Bones sat dignifiedly on the sofa, pursed her lips slightly,
"Connelly is probably toying with the idea of recruiting you into the Ministry of Magic——"
Amelia Bones - Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and one of the top five wizards on the Wizengamot Tribunal. She is famous and highly prestigious in the European magic world. There are even rumors that after Fudge, She will hopefully take up the post of Minister for Magic.
"Then I'm afraid he will be disappointed--"
Amosta sat where Dumbledore had been and smiled calmly. He could see that Fudge didn't necessarily have a strong desire to serve in the Ministry of Magic, but Bones was the one in front of him. Madam, I'm afraid you have the idea of getting yourself into the Ministry of Magic and working in the Auror Office under the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
"What a surprise-"
Ms. Bones didn't know that Amosta had read her mind. She said in a tone of surprise and pity,
"Many outstanding young wizards who have graduated from school hope to work in the Ministry of Magic. If they know that there is a person who can be personally invited by the Minister of Magic but is unwilling to go, they will definitely be furious!"
"Everyone has their own ambitions, Ms. Bones--"
Amosta did not point out any of this, but continued following Ms. Bones’ words,
"As far as I know, one of my classmates, Bill Weasley of the Weasley family, once refused the invitation of the Ministry of Magic to work as a curse-breaker in Gringotts, Egypt, and Albus Deumble Lido himself has repeatedly rejected people's proposals to take up the position of Minister of Magic. Compared to the Ministry of Magic, I personally appreciate the relaxed and free working environment——"
Ever since he came out of the cave where Voldemort hid the locket, Amosta had been feeling vaguely that the final moment when Voldemort would return to the magical world was probably not far away.
Before that, he needs to make some preparations. Gaining reputation in the magic world and having a certain influence in the ministry is also part of his plan.
Seeing the flash of regret in Bones's eyes, Amosta smiled slightly,
"Of course, if the Ministry of Magic needs my help, I will be happy to help-"
"how could be?"
Campus hospital, in the ward.
With tears in Hermione's eyes, she held the time turner that had lost its luster and stamped her feet anxiously.
"How could it be broken? Could it be that it was broken while we were in the car? But, oh, I got into trouble, Harry. Time turners are items strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic. Each one has been registered, Mike Professor Ge told me when he gave it to me and warned me to keep it properly. If it is lost or damaged-"
Speaking of this, Hermione's thin body trembled with fear, and she sobbed softly, unable to speak a word.
"What's going to happen, Hermione?"
Harry had not read the articles about the time turner, but seeing Hermione's reaction, he probably knew the seriousness of the matter, so he pressed the question eagerly.
"Will - oh -"
Hermione bit her lip, crystal tears streaked down her pale cheeks, and stammered,
"The Ministry of Magic will probably prosecute me for this. I might be sent to Azkaban, Harry--"
Hermione cried helplessly.
Even though he had thought about the consequences as seriously as possible, Harry was still shocked when he heard what Hermione said.
"Are you kidding, Hermione-" Harry said nervously, "How could it be so serious?"
"Think about what we did tonight, Harry. Isn't that enough to make you realize how capable the Time Turner is? In order to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands, all laws related to the Time Turner are strictly enforced. It’s the harshest!”
Hermione cried out in despair.
"I can't imagine how my parents would look when the school informed them that I was being sent to a wizard prison!"
Hermione was going to be imprisoned in Azkaban, which was so terrible that Harry would rather spar with the old spider named Aragog again than have this happen.
The first thing Harry thought about was Dumbledore.
It was Professor Dumbledore's idea to use the time turner to find Peter. He would not sit idly by, but then he thought that if breaking a time turner was an unforgivable sin, then Dumbledore would definitely do it. Taking all the responsibility on himself, Harry would rather go to Azkaban and be imprisoned than involve Dumbledore.
"correct!"
The frowning Harry suddenly exclaimed,
"We can go find Professor Blaine!"
Under Hermione's puzzled gaze, Harry smiled confidently and said,
"Professor Brain is very good at fixing things. He might have a way to fix the time turner!"
