Harry Potter and the Necromancer

Regulus Black picked up the sizzling honey tea in his hand and took a sip. Sure enough, it tasted like veritaserum. He turned to look at Snape and Dumbledore beside him, but was ignored by the two of them.

Needless to say, Dumbledore knew exactly what was added to the food he provided. It was inevitable to pretend to be stupid at this time. As for Professor Snape, he was an authority on potions. He could tell what was in the food just by sniffing it. , not to mention that he provided these magic potions to the principal. Didn't you notice that the sizzling honey tea in front of him was not touched at all?

Regulus Black rolled his eyes at the two of them, drank up the sizzling honey tea in his hand, and knocked the cup on the table with a loud sound that startled everyone. Naturally, Minister Fudge and The argument between the head of the Auror office also stopped.

"Mr. Rufus Scrimgeour! You are right, but after taking Sirius Black away, you still cannot escape the responsibility for your dereliction of duty."

Regulus Black's words immediately made the other party's expression sour, indeed! Regardless of whether the escaped prisoner from Azkaban was captured or not, he, the person in charge of the Aurors, would have to bear responsibility. The reason why he had not been dealt with before was just to wait for the result.

After all, Sirius was in hiding after escaping from prison. Although he showed up once, it was more like stealing food. And if Sirius hurts or kills someone, then the first person to be unlucky will not be Sirius is on the run, but he is the head of the Auror department. He will not be let go in any aspect, and his resignation will become inevitable.

From Rufus Scrimgeour's point of view, Sirius must be recaptured by the Aurors after escaping from prison and failing to commit new crimes. In this way, his responsibility will be the least. If it works well and has some support, it can even be exempted from liability.

So in his opinion, the current situation was just the right time, and he didn't care at all about Regulus Black's words.

"You don't need to tell me that I must take away this fugitive today."

With that said, Rufus Scrimgeour waved and prepared to take several Aurors to the medical corps to arrest people.

"Sirius was unjustly imprisoned 12 years ago, and 12 years later he was imprisoned again after proving his innocence. The Auror Department of the Ministry of Magic is indeed a department with super strong execution capabilities! Minister Fudge! Let’s drink a toast to having such a strong executive at your disposal.”

Regulus Black did not stop Rufus Scrimgeour's actions at all, but instead praised Fudge, the Minister of Magic.

However, this made people feel awkward no matter how they heard it. Fudge smiled very awkwardly. He was not the Minister of Magic 12 years ago, but now he is being blamed for this, and not only him, but also the Auror Department. .

Although due to the different times, it happened to coincide with the fall of the Dark Lord and the period when Death Eaters were arrested in large numbers and quickly reviewed and approved. As long as the evidence was basically in place, the verdict would be pronounced directly. Death Eaters would be arrested one by one, unless they were particularly powerful and had the means. Most of the people and Death Eaters were imprisoned in Azkaban for retirement.

At that time, the stupid Sirius wanted to die because of self-blame. Without sufficient evidence, he was imprisoned in Azkaban. Even the Order of the Phoenix had given up on him. Naturally, the Aurors would not do that. He looked for evidence in his favor.

However, the blame for that year would have to be shouldered by someone 12 years later, and Rufus Scrimgeour couldn't help but stop.

Snape, the snake king, was amused by these words. Although Sirius was his enemy, the Auror department was also an enemy. Although he was saved by the Order of the Phoenix, the mark on his arm was still there. God knows Dumbledore Will he still be so free after death?

Therefore, Aurors are also enemies to Snape. This is a matter of position.

The reason why Rufus Scrimgeour wanted to arrest Sirius immediately was simply because he did not want the Auror to continue to take the blame. However, judging from what Regulus Black said, I am afraid that the blame will be even greater after he is arrested. Bigger and heavier, that's not what Rufus Scrimgeour wanted.

Minister of Magic Fudge watched Rufus Scrimgeour stop and couldn't help but laugh. However, after all, the other person was his important subordinate. He still had to protect him before he was replaced. Compared with the protection of an angry subordinate, The interests and honor of the Ministry of Magic are the issues that the Minister of Magic should prioritize.

"Regulus! Scrimgeour is a stubborn man of action. Let's talk about how to properly handle this matter!"

Minister of Magic Fudge looked at Regulus Black with a sorry smile, waiting for the perfect answer.

"Regulus! The last witch pregnancy incident was handled perfectly under your advice. No one could find any problems. I believe that this time under your control, Sirius' escape from prison can be handled perfectly. adverse effects.”

Minister of Magic Fudge said these words to Regulus Black and Rufus Scrimgeour at the same time. Although the Aurors took the blame for the last incident for a while, the Aurors were cleared of their charges afterwards and the matter was resolved. It was understood and even affirmed by all parties.

"Sirius should have been recaptured after escaping from prison, but he was imprisoned unjustly, and the case back then must be retried."

Regulus Black began to reveal his plans. These things had been deduced in his mind countless times.

"The honor of the Black family cannot be damaged. Sirius needs to be acquitted, and the Ministry of Magic needs to make some compensation. Naturally, Sirius will voluntarily give up these compensations, and the Ministry of Magic will provide some administrative conveniences."

The Minister of Magic Fudge understood what Regulus Black said. The Black family still had some properties that were still in the hands of the Ministry of Magic. After the Ministry of Magic offered compensation and Sirius refused, these Black family properties were released. , is a matter of course.

"I understand, I understand! The Black family's properties will be handed over smoothly after this incident. But on Sirius's side..."

Minister of Magic Fudge knew about Regulus Black, but he could not predict Sirius' behavior.

"I will naturally take care of Sirius's side. There is no need for the Ministry of Magic to worry about this."

Regulus Black said as he shook his hand, and a stream of compressed air spread in all directions, and the people present seemed to be blown by a breeze.

This is obviously not magical power, but it seems to be far away.

"Today you can take Sirius back to the custody of the Auror Department. Tomorrow I hope to see the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot Tribunal re-examine Sirius's escape from prison and the case 12 years ago. At the same time, I hope to be present today. All the people came forward to testify.”

After saying these words, Regulus Black looked over one by one.

"If the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot Tribunal are prepared to try Sirius, he will naturally be detained at the Auror Command."

Rufus Scrimgeour proudly stated that he was the head of the Auror Department, and such official language was naturally accurate.

"With such sufficient evidence, the Ministry of Magic will naturally not object to retrying the case that year, that is, the Wizengamot Tribunal..."

Minister of Magic Fudge looked at Dumbledore. Although the old man's job was to be the principal, he was also the chief judge of the Wizengamot. Without Dumbledore's nod of approval, if he wanted to retrial based on the bureaucracy of the Wizengamot, this would be impossible. The time it takes to appeal can definitely make people desperate.

"Don't you want to clear the grievances of members of the Order of the Phoenix, Mr. Principal?"

Regulus Black noticed that Dumbledore was still hesitant, and the old man began to eat sweets while distracted.

If the case from that year is retried, the Wizengamot will be tantamount to admitting its mistake. Aurors and the Ministry of Magic can dump the blame on their predecessors. When the Wizengamot tried Sirius, Dumbledore was also the chief judge. He can't get rid of this pot.

"I am willing to testify in court, even if I only experience part of the process personally, but I can prove that after Lupine transformed into a werewolf, Sirius turned into a black dog, blocking the other party's heroic actions."

Snape remained the same, ready to make a fuss.

Such a statement made even the distracted Dumbledore look sideways. Is Snape really planning to testify like this? Then if the Wizengamot court does not favor some Sirius, I am afraid that he will be imprisoned again because of the illegal Animagus just after he was released from prison unjustly.
