Chapter 1291

However, Fudge appeared in the office at the agreed time.

The Prime Minister discovered that compared to the last time he saw Fudge, the current Fudge was even more down-and-out; he had lost a lot of weight, and his entire face was filled with haggardness.

He inevitably felt a bit of sympathy for this Minister for Magic, but he still said somewhat unhappily, "What is it now? We have a lot of things going on here too..."

"That's what I'm here to talk about. The collapsed bridges, the hurricanes... they were all done by You-Know-Who. He has returned!"

Fudge slumped in his chair and said with a bitter smile. The Prime Minister sat up straight in terror.

"You're joking... didn't you say he was dead?"

"I would very much like to be joking, but Dumbledore said he has returned... and so many people saw it... I witnessed it with my own eyes. I don't know how he returned, he was clearly dead..."

Fudge said with a bitter smile.

"Then you catch him! You catch him! I remember you have an Azkaban prison, don't you?

You can't let him cause trouble in the ordinary world. Do you know how many complaint letters I've received?"

"You think I haven't sent people to pursue him?

Now all the Aurors in the Ministry have gone to pursue him, but they have gained nothing, and our own people have suffered heavy casualties!

I wrote to Dumbledore, but Dumbledore doesn't pay any attention to me at all.

I wanted those two boys to help me, but one is missing, and the other... forget it!"

Fudge said dejectedly.

"Anyway, your point is that You-Know-Who has returned, and he is following that... Black, is that his name?"

"Yes, that is his name, but he is actually a good person.

He participated in the battle to resist You-Know-Who at the time... clearly, someone witnessed him killing people, but it turns out he wasn't..."

Fudge said awkwardly.

Even in this situation, the Prime Minister actually felt a bit of pride. Because they had never done such things.

However, Fudge probably didn't want to see him rejoicing.

Fudge said with a somewhat guilty expression, "There is one more piece of news to tell you: the guards of Azkaban, the Dementors, have rebelled... they have defected to You-Know-Who. We even suspect there are giants... the riots were caused by those giants."

"The Dementors have rebelled! Giants have also appeared!

Fudge, listen to me, you are the Minister for Magic, you must take measures. We ordinary people..."

The Prime Minister said in terror.

But Fudge showed a wronged expression.

"It used to be like that, yes, but... do you think that after so many things have happened, I would still continue to sit in that position?

Last week, the new Minister for Magic had already taken office. I am here to communicate with you first."

The Prime Minister couldn't help but feel sympathy.

But he still asked stiffly, "When will he arrive?"

"Now!"

A man of action stepped out of the fireplace. Rufus Scrimgeour.

The Prime Minister felt that this new Minister was like an old lion. This was a sharp, tough guy.

Scrimgeour glanced at Fudge, then he took off his hat and bowed to the Prime Minister.

Then he looked up and said, "To make a long story short, I am too busy. You need people to protect you..."

"I am very satisfied with Kingsley. I will not replace him!"

"He is one of our people."

The Prime Minister said angrily, "You cannot just put people in without my permission!"

But Scrimgeour didn't pay any attention to him.

"And your Assistant Minister, we will send him to St. Mungo's, that guy who learned to make a few duck quacks!"

"But he only learned to make a few duck quacks!"

"This is not normal. We suspect he is under the Imperius Curse.

In fact, after sending him to St. Mungo's, he already tried to strangle three of the physicians who came to treat him!

Alright, I've finished what I had to say. If there are things in the future, I will have Fudge come to find you!"

The Prime Minister saw them leave after they finished speaking, and he said anxiously, "For God's sake... aren't you wizards? Can't you wave a wand and solve the problem?"

"We believe in Merlin... and besides, the other side is also wizards!"

Fudge finally turned back, revealing the first smile since he arrived here.

Then he thought for a moment and continued, "If possible, you can have someone find a boy named Darren Potter as soon as possible.

He is missing... if we can find that boy one step ahead of Dumbledore, perhaps we will have more chances of winning.

Such powerful strength, yet he has been restricted to Hogwarts by Dumbledore all along. He should come to the Ministry of Magic to work as an Auror!"
