A Magical Hogwarts

Drogon went to deliver a letter to Dumbledore, while Miria was still there.

William took out the five nut, and Miria proudly stretched out a long leg and asked him to put the coin into a small leather bag tied to the leg.

Then, it took the remaining snacks and flew out towards the Hogwarts owl shed.

William opened the envelope, what was inside was not a letter, but the latest expedited edition of the 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 that the title was written in heavy black ink: Shocked! Ministry of Magic attack, important evidence found.

There is also a photo below - the magic wand!

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

—Lucius Malfoy's wand!

It was indeed Lucius' wand, with Malfoy's family crest engraved on it, and at the top of the wand, there was a dent, where a dove egg was once inlaid.

During the fight in Diagon Alley that day, Lucius only found the pigeon eggs, but lost his wand. Now, he has appeared at the scene of the Ministry of Magic attack.

"Could it be Malfoy doing it?" Qiu asked after reading the newspaper.

Listening to everyone's description, Lucius Malfoy doesn't seem to be a good person.

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

"When the You-Know-Who fell, Malfoy should have been punished. He claimed that he was controlled by the You-Know-Who and paid a large amount of gold Galleons before he returned to peace.

The Malfoys are not a good thing, and I have no doubts about what he did. "

George was still angry about what happened in Diagon Alley that day. Lucius scolded them for the speed of reproduction, like a mudblood.

Mudblood is the worst word in the wizarding world.

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

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

You also said that he lost his wand, but who would steal a wand worth ten Galleons instead of a diamond?

This is likely to be 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 dad said Mad Eye was investigating Malfoy?"

"Who is Mad-Eye?" Qiu wondered.

George said: "Mad-Eye's name is Moody, and he's an almost semi-retired Auror.

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

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

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

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

"My dad told Malfoy the other day that Mad-Eye wanted to investigate him just to provoke him and transfer the dark magic items hidden in the house.

After Malfoy returned from the fight, he really went to sell things at night. Mad-Eye was at the Borgin Bock magic shop in Knockturn Alley and caught him. "

Fred said regretfully, "Mad-Eye is too anxious, he should wait a few days!

Although Malfoy sold the cursed necklace, his level of black magic is not high, he just came to test the water. If the ministry pays the most, they can be released on bail without going to Azkaban at all. "

Qiu thought about it for a while, then asked in doubt: "But, doesn't this just happen to prove that Malfoy didn't attack the Ministry of Magic?

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

Fred smiled bitterly and said, "That's the problem, Mad-Eye was very annoyed when he heard that magic was attacked.

That night, if he hadn't caught Malfoy, the other party wouldn't be able to cleanse himself, at least go to Azkaban to squat for a while. "

Qiu showed a very confused expression, and she frowned: "Since Malfoy didn't attack, why does the Daily Prophet still report on Malfoy's wand? Isn't this intentionally misleading everyone?"

"A scapegoat, Autumn." William explained, "The Ministry of Magic can't find the attacker, and Fudge needs a scapegoat to divert his attention temporarily.

This would make them appear less incompetent and less stressful for the Ministry of Magic. "

Unjust, false and wrongful convictions are never isolated cases, and the magic world is no exception.

William had always been suspicious before.

Why did the Daily Prophet report so much about the Weasley-Malfoy fight during this time?

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

However, the newspaper with the largest circulation has been tracking it 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 big event, if you want to cover up the past, you must use more hot spots to distract the attention of the people who eat melons.

This is a common practice in later generations.

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

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

The Ministry of Magic was attacked by dark wizards, such a scandal that must be suppressed.

This incident is undoubtedly a serious blow to the reputation of the Ministry of Magic. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

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

Fudge couldn't tolerate an incompetent label stuck on his head. That would be devastating for a politician committed to long-term re-election!

So he chose to let the Daily Prophet report the fight 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 could no longer be blocked, it simply stopped covering it up and revealed it on its own initiative.

At this time, it had been almost a month since the Ministry of Magic was attacked.

It took so long to report and deal with it, and the public opinion was angry.

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

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

At such a moment, a clever politician will throw out the murderer, or one or two scapegoats, to draw the attention of the melon eaters again.

The nature of an attack that has plagued the Ministry of Magic is completely different from a case where the murderer has been caught.

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

Regardless of the truth, William found 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 skilled and an extremely old-fashioned politician.
