Chapter 274: The Resurrected Fudge?
"I really don't understand why Dumbledore wants to involve Snape, he's obviously..."
Harry didn't finish his sentence because Ron was tugging at his sleeve desperately, motioning him to look down.
When Harry met Lucas' cold eyes, his face suddenly turned red.
"It seems that you still remember what I said before. Do you think that hiding in the room will prevent others from hearing your complaints?"
"..."
"There's no need to explain, and I don't want to hear it. Just now, Emmeline was hit with the Killing Curse and barely survived, but instead of caring about her, you complained that no one trusted you as soon as you came in?"
"Then let me tell you clearly now that I don't trust you very much. You are reckless, impulsive, extremely weak and always self-righteous."
"With your personality, it's hard for me to trust you unreservedly. Finally, I would like to remind you that Professor Snape is still your teacher even outside of school. Please use honorific titles when addressing him."
After Lucas finished speaking, he led Professor Snape out.
The old house became silent for a while.
Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Harry's face turned red, he felt so ashamed.
Sirius went upstairs, patted his godson on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "Don't mind it, Grindelwald's temper is like this."
"He is now the most influential person in the Order of the Phoenix besides Dumbledore. If possible, you should avoid him in the future."
Sirius is also looking out for the good of his godson, but his words made Harry very unhappy.
He didn't say anything. He really couldn't figure out why Dumbledore wanted Snape, who was a Death Eater, to join him.
But seeing the godfather's concerned eyes, he nodded, temporarily following Sirius' advice.
Seeing that the atmosphere became dull, Mrs Weasley interfered quickly: "Don't just stand there, go to the dinning room to eat!"
…
Lucas and Professor Snape left the old Prewett house and walked along the street towards the Thames river.
"Are you going home? Hogwarts? Or towards Voldemort?"
"I'm going back to the Dark Lord. There was an attack just now. I can help Lucius when I go back."
"Alright." Lucas nodded and continued: "This time you revealed the matter of Harry Potter's transfer in advance, presumably Voldemort's suspicion of you should be reduced a lot."
"I hope so."
Snape was still not used to hearing Voldemort's name all the time.
It wasn't that he was afraid of the other person, but that Voldemort had placed a taboo on the name.
Once someone utters his name, the spell will be triggered, making it easier for the Death Eaters to track and capture the person who uttered the name.
But this is Lucas. He is so powerful that even if he is unprepared, he doesn't fear having to face him.
If someone else pronounced Voldemort's name like this, Snape had to consider whether he should leave immediately to avoid exposing himself.
The two briefly talked about their plans, and Professor Snape used Apparition to go to Voldemort's hiding place.
"Avada Kedavra!"
As soon as Snape reached the door, he saw the light of the Killing Curse through the crack in the room.
Eyes slightly opened, worried about his friend's life, he hurriedly opened the door.
"Master, I'm back!"
"Severus, have you found the ingredients for the potion?"
"I found them master, and I will brew the potion for you right away."
Snape looked aside as he answered, relieved to find that Lucius Malfoy was safe.
"Very good, you have worked hard, go and brew the potion now!"
"It's my honor to serve you."
Snape turned and walked outside the house.
After waiting for him to leave completely, Voldemort said: "Lucius, my friend, you did a good job this time."
"Master's orders, I will do my best to perform them well."
Voldemort smiled in satisfaction: "It seems that our friends are still useful, don't you think so, Lucius?"
"Whether Severus is useful or not is entirely up to the master, if you think he can't be trusted, I am willing to get rid of him for you."
"No, Severus still has some use. He has worked at Hogwarts for so many years and is the head of Slytherin House. I need him to replenish our ranks with fresh blood."
…
Old Prewett House.
Lucas left with Hermione and Cho Chang after dinner while Ginny stayed with her family.
As for Luna, this summer she went to Sweden with her father to look for the Crumple Horned Snorkack, so she is not in England for the time being.
Dumbledore disappeared after dinner.
Never giving Harry a chance to talk to him, which made him even more frustrated.
Overnight.
After barely getting a good night's sleep, Harry walked out of the room.
"Merlin's beard, I didn't expect such a thing to happen."
"Fudge? Is that Fudge?"
"I really didn't expect it, Merlin!"
There were whispers in the dining room.
Harry walked downstairs cautiously, only to see Sirius and others reading the Daily Prophet together
"Sirius, Professor Lupin, what are you looking at?"
The few people who were startled quickly raised their heads.
Seeing that it was Harry, several people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Harry, come and see!" Arthur Weasley waved to him.
When he saw the Daily Prophet on the table, he frowned reflexively.
He is very disgusted with this newspaper now.
"Look Harry, something happened to Cornelius Fudge."
Following Sirius' finger, he saw Fudge's hideous appearance printed on the newspaper.
In the photo, he was held by two Aurors, and he was still wearing an Azkaban prison uniform.
"How did this happen?"
Seeing Harry's puzzled look, Sirius turned the newspaper two more pages.
"The newspaper said that because Fudge couldn't bear the blow of losing his job, he became mentally disturbed and killed all the members of his family. There were more than 20 people in total, and none of them survived."
On the third page were photos of Fudge's wife and son.
Harry saw the tightly closed eyes of the two, with unbelievable expression on their faces.
"How did he go crazy all of a sudden?"
"Hmph!" Sirius showed a disdainful expression.
"I guess it must have been done by some of the Death Eaters, it's a Death Eater tactic, you read it in the papers."
After Sirius finished speaking, he pointed to one of the passages.
Reporters from the Daily Prophet speculated that this was an act of revenge by the Death Eaters.
"I didn't expect that the Fudge family would end up like this. Although they are not one of the sacred 28 families, they are still pure blood."
"There is one less pure-blood family in the magic world. In more than ten years, Rosier, Fudge, and Prewett have been destroyed one after another."
"Perhaps it won't be long before the Black family will join in." Sirius said in melancholy.
The current magic world is really getting more and more withered. The ancient families were disappearing one after another.
Seeing that the second wizarding war is inevitable, Sirius couldn't even imagine how many pure-blood families would survive after the war.
Just when Sirius was sad thinking about this, Remus was lamenting another thing.
"Pius is really lucky. He solved such a sensational case when he first took office. The key point is that he also confiscated the property of the Fudge family for the Ministry of Magic."
Arthur Weasley nodded approvingly.
After they finished discussing, they looked at the newspaper again.
At the end of the report, it was written that Fudge will be interrogated today, and if the evidence is convincing, there is a high probability that he will be executed with the Dementor's Kiss.
…
Bang~!
Pius Thicknesse tapped his gavel.
"In light of Cornelius Fudge's confession to the crimes he committed, the Wizengamot unanimously resolved to give him the Dementor's Kiss!"
The ordinary people who came to witness the trial cursed Fudge angrily.
"You crazy beast, you didn't even let your own wife and children go!"
With Fudge being taken away, the people in the trial court also gradually dispersed.
And Cornelius Fudge, who was supposed to be taken to receive the Dementor's Kiss, was taken to an empty room.
There was a delirious Death Eater in the room.
As the Polyjuice Potion was poured, the Death Eater quickly turned into Fudge.
Execution, inspection, encoffining.
A series of actions were completed in just one hour and Cornelius Fudge died to the public.
However, all but a very small part of the wealth accumulated by the Fudge family over the past century has entered the treasury of the Ministry of Magic.
The rest were secretly transferred to Lucas's personal coffers by Pius.
…
August 12th is the day of the trial of the Savior.
Harry sat up suddenly on the bed. Looking at the calendar on the wall, his brows could not help but wrinkle.
It was still dark at this time, but he had no sleepiness at all.
Hearing the snoring sound from Ron next to him, he was actually a little envious.
He probably envied that he didn't have to go through so many bad things.
Since he couldn't sleep, Harry tiptoed out of the room.
"I know, you don't need to ask any more, I will safely send Harry to the Ministry of Magic."
Mr Weasley's voice came from downstairs.
But as far as Harry knew, it should have been Sirius who accompanied him to the Ministry of Magic today.
…
At the same time.
As today's chief judge, Dolores Umbridge came to the Ministry of Magic proudly.
But when she entered her office, her expression immediately became ugly, if it's even possible for her to become uglier…
The master told her that she needed to complete the task in order to avoid being punished.
It was with great difficulty that she won the chance to lead the trial.
She will never let Harry Potter go back to Hogwarts lightly.
