The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

"You guys have been chatting for a long time..." After Hermione woke up, she didn't stand up by herself. Instead, she lay in Tom's arms and hugged him like a little koala. Then she gently rubbed her head against Tom's chest. , like a little kitten that was picked up, acting coquettishly.

Tom was not in a hurry to leave. He hugged Hermione, blew into her palm first, and then rubbed her cold little hands, trying to warm them up. Soon, Hermione's fingertips were no longer so cold, and instead felt a touch of warmth.

After doing this, Tom enjoyed Hermione's "massage" with peace of mind. The fragrance of shampoo came from the ends of her hair, which also made his chin itch.

After a while, Hermione raised her head, her eyes shining brightly in the dark corridor.

"Can you tell me what you and Dumbledore said?" The girl's face was full of desire. She was so curious about Tom's plan that she even used the "honey trap".

Hermione looked at Tom and smiled softly, showing a set of neat white teeth, and her delicate little face was full of curiosity.

Tom smoothed Hermione's somewhat disheveled hair, and then gently tapped the tip of Hermione's upturned nose with his fingertips.

"We're discussing how to make you Minister for Magic."

"Be more serious!" Hermione glared at Tom, "Humph, if I become the Minister of Magic, I will designate you as my secretary and work overtime every day!"

"That's also working overtime with the Minister."

Hermione didn't know what she thought of, and her face turned red.

"Don't say that...you guys, what on earth did you talk about?" Her voice was more like a mosquito's hum.

Tom's hands became restless, and he pinched Hermione's nose, "Dumbledore tacitly allowed me to overthrow Fudge."

Tom's voice was not high-pitched, but it sounded so shocking to Hermione that she couldn't help but shudder, and half of her body went numb.

"Dumbledore agreed with you to overthrow... Fudge? Minister of Magic - and you let go!" Hermione was shocked. She didn't expect that Dumbledore actually agreed to Tom doing this! Tacit consent is also permission. Shouldn't this kind of thing be strictly prohibited?

"Try it." Tom let go of the tip of Hermione's nose.

"What should I do if I don't succeed? Fugui will definitely take revenge, right?" Hermione thought a little longer. The thought of being resented by a Minister for Magic worried her.

Tom blinked, "I don't think Fudge would hold a grudge against us in the first place."

Hermione looked at him, a little surprised: "You mean..."

"That's right!" Of course he would do this in Dumbledore's name!

Hermione felt relieved.

But after a while, she felt uncomfortable again. Because she thought she would be very scared and worried after hearing the news, and would persuade Tom to give up the idea. But in the end she discovered that she didn't seem to have these emotions at all. On the contrary, there was a faint feeling of excitement deep in her heart.

But Hermione would never admit it.

It's all Tom, he led me astray! Hermione complained about Tom in her heart.

"How long are you going to hold him? Let go!" Hermione's voice turned cold, and then she pushed Tom away and tried to stand up. She used so much force that she even staggered twice. At the same time, she forced her face away from Tom's evil face.

It’s just like a cat! Tom stood up helplessly, straightened Hermione's clothes, and patted her butt.

A slap came down, making a muffled sound. Tom seemed to hit a seat cushion, which felt soft and bouncy, and a cloud of dust was blown out by his slap.

Hermione was shocked by this. She turned around in shock and anger, only to hear Tom say: "My pants are dirty, let me dust them off for you."

Hermione's whole face turned red and she dodged his second slap, "Don't you know magic? You obviously have a very suitable spell!"

"Tornado clean!" Hermione flicked her wand and removed all the dust on her pants. She looked at Tom for a long time, but in the end she said nothing. But when Tom stood up from the ground, she summoned all her strength and slapped Tom on the butt.

Snapped!

Ouch!

Tom felt like his butt was almost numb from the spanking.

"Hmph~" Hermione, who had her revenge, happily walked down the stairs, followed by a grinning Tom.

…

The sun had already set when Fudge returned to the Ministry of Magic, but he still summoned his trusted subordinates Umbridge, Dollis and Kingsley over immediately.

"Sirius Black was wronged?!" After the three people arrived, they were all shocked by the news.

"Minister, could you please elaborate more?" Kingsley asked cautiously. As a member of the Order of the Phoenix, he had worked with Sirius for a while, and he was still very curious about what happened to his former comrades.

In his opinion, it would be great if Sirius was really innocent!

"Of course, but we still have a few things to do. Dolores, could you please go to the archives and pull out Blake's files from that year? Kingsley, Delis, you two and I will go to Hogwart. "Come on, let's take Peter into custody together - we can talk slowly on the road." Fudge had already regained his composure and was giving orders in an orderly manner.

He now wants to have Peter in his hands as soon as possible, so that he can take the initiative, catch Crouch off guard, and put the blame firmly on him. Of course, the files of the case from that year must also be obtained to prevent some of the contents that are detrimental to you from being disclosed - the Ministry of Magic does not have a rule that files should be solved every fifty years.

"Yes, Minister." Umbridge bowed to Fudge and stepped back. Although Kingsley and Delis were a little confused, they followed Fudge obediently and headed to Hogwarts together.

The news that Fudge summoned his confidants naturally reached Dumbledore's ears, so several owls and the Phoenix Patronus flew out of the principal's office at Hogwarts and rushed in all directions.

…

Umbridge came to the Ministry of Magic's archives. Thousands of files are piled here, spanning centuries.

Fortunately, all the files were arranged by date, so Umbridge successfully found the thin file after recalling the time of the Sirius case.

Looking at the thin dossier, Umbridge was speechless: except for a cover, there seemed to be nothing left. It was incomparable to the dossiers next to it that often had hundreds of pages.

If the seal on it hadn't been intact, she would have thought that someone had already taken advantage of it and deleted it.

Today I would like to introduce the fourth Minister of Magic: Edrich Diggory (I don’t know if he is related to Cedric)

Edrich Diggory served as Minister for Magic from 1733 to 1747.

He was born into a wizarding family of unknown origin. At some point, he purchased his own wand at Ollivander's Wand Store. According to Garrick Ollivander, he had a "beautiful" poplar wand.

Digory was later appointed Minister for Magic. He was a popular minister who established the first Auror recruitment program.

At some point in his career, Digory conducted an expedition to Azkaban. It turns out that this visit shocked him because he had never known that the environment inside the prison was so bad: people died out of despair, and most of the remaining people were insane. After returning to London, Diggory formed a committee to find an alternative to Azkaban, at least by removing the Dementors as guards. Experts believe that if the dementors cannot obtain the souls of prisoners for food, they are likely to abandon the prison and live on land. However, Diggory was horrified by what he saw and was still looking for an alternative.

In 1747, Diggory died in his office from dragon pox. As a result, the Council never made a decision regarding Azkaban's replacement.
