The Little Superman of Hogwarts

Hogwarts Little Superman - Chapter 179 [Minister Fudge]

Klee received his new school notice at the end of August.

"Dear Mr. Boffman: Please note that the new semester starts on September 1st. The Hogwarts Express will depart from Platform 9 ¾ at King's Cross Station at 11:00 AM. Third-year students are allowed to visit Hogsmeade Village on certain weekends. Please have the attached permission form signed by your parents or guardian.

… … … …" The latter half of the letter was a book list and a personal letter from Professor McGonagall to Klee.

In the letter, Professor McGonagall mainly mentioned two things: first, Klee's performance in the substitute class last semester was very good, so she hoped that Klee would tend to pursue a career in education in the future; second, Professor McGonagall hoped that Klee would be careful of a fugitive—this fugitive was Sirius Black.

Professor McGonagall's meaning was very simple—that is, Sirius was a Death Eater, and Klee had just killed Voldemort several times last semester.

So Professor McGonagall suspected, or even was almost 100% sure, that the fugitive would definitely try to find Klee.

Almost at the same time, Harry Potter also received his school letter for the new year. He was preparing to go to Diagon Alley for shopping the next day.

In the original book, there would be a difficult and annoying relative visiting. In the quarrel, Harry blew his relative into a large balloon. However, in reality, this scene did not happen. Aunt Marge did visit, but Uncle Vernon took her to a hotel, so Harry did not have a conflict with her—this was still Klee's influence at work.

Everything was going smoothly during the summer vacation, but on this summer evening, Aunt Petunia's door was knocked on.

Three men in wizard robes knocked on the door. Uncle Vernon opened the door and saw the three wizards, feeling frightened and instantly taking three or four steps back.

A few seconds later, he yelled to kick the men out.

But he didn't realize that a ruthless character had come: Cornelius Fudge.

He was a coward against Voldemort, but dealing with ordinary Muggles was his specialty.

Fudge waved his hand, and the two wizards behind him used several spells to freeze Aunt Petunia's family.

He walked up the stairs, calling Harry's name as he walked: "Mr. Potter! I know you're here! Please respond to me!"

Harry was reading the book list. He heard the voice and carefully looked down the stairs, making eye contact with Minister Fudge.

"Hello! I am Harry Potter, but I'm sorry, I don't know you!" Harry explained, walking downstairs.

"I think we can go upstairs and talk. You two should handle these stupid Muggles according to procedure." Fudge's face was obviously ugly, and his tone was somewhat emotional.

The two stood face to face in Harry's small attic. Harry was a little confused. He cautiously held his wand in his hand, hiding it in his pants pocket.

"Sit down, Harry." Fudge sat on Harry's bed, pointing to Harry's small chair and said, "I'm sorry for not informing you in advance, but things are a bit tricky, so I had to come in person." Harry sat down. Although it was summer, he didn't know why, but sitting with this stranger, he still felt goosebumps on his arms.

The man took off his striped cloak and threw it aside, pulled up his dark green suit pants, and sat opposite Harry.

"Harry, I am Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic." Fudge introduced himself.

"It's an honor to meet you!" Harry Potter wanted to shake his hand, but Minister Fudge obviously had no interest. He waved his hand to signal Harry to sit down. Then, Fudge took out a newspaper from his pocket and motioned for Harry to read it.

Harry held the newspaper up to the candlelight and read: [Black Still on the Run]

"The Ministry of Magic confirmed today that Sirius Black is still at large. He is probably the most evil prisoner ever held in Azkaban prison. … …"

The long article actually said two things: first, Sirius Black has not been caught; second, the Ministry of Magic will definitely successfully capture the fugitive under the leadership of the great, wise, and correct Minister Fudge!

In the center was a huge photo in which he was laughing wantonly. Between movement and stillness, one could feel a terrifying aura coming.

Harry looked into Sirius Black's gloomy eyes, which seemed to be the only lively part of his haggard face. Harry had never met a vampire, but he had seen pictures of vampires in Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Black's skin was pale, looking like a vampire.

"He killed thirteen people?" Harry said, folding the newspaper, leaving only the photo exposed, "With just one spell?"

"That's right," Fudge said, "In broad daylight, in full view of everyone. But that was many years ago.

This time he went even further, killing his fellow Death Eater inmates in prison and easily escaping from Azkaban!"

Harry also felt that this criminal was extremely terrifying, but he was a little confused. Why did Minister Fudge come here in the middle of the night to have me read this newspaper?

"I hope you can tell us his whereabouts as soon as possible if he appears in front of you!" Fudge made a request.

"Uh… of course, no problem! But will this criminal come looking for me?" Harry was a little nervous.

"For some reasons I can't explain now, we judge that this criminal will definitely try to find you! I will have two Aurors live next to your house until you return to Hogwarts." Fudge explained: "Don't worry! We won't disturb you!"

Harry wanted to refuse, but Fudge gave Harry a piercing look, and Harry couldn't say it.

So, during the last period of the summer vacation, two inexplicable wizards lived around Aunt Petunia's house. They patrolled the surrounding environment from time to time, and sometimes set up some strange magical devices.

For Ginny, the final stage of the summer vacation seemed a bit out of place.

Her brothers sometimes still wanted to treat Ginny as they used to, such as sometimes giving Ginny a strange nickname or playing pranks, but Ginny was different now. She easily saw through several pranks by the Weasley twins, and a few small potions turned the Weasley twins into two little pigs.

Since then, Ginny's status at home has been greatly improved.

In the latter half of the summer vacation, Ginny was still deeply studying potions, because spells could not be released at will. With this summer vacation, where she could spend more than 20,000 Galleons at will, Ginny's progress in potions was comparable to the previous semester.
