This Hogwarts isn't normal.

Will the Ministry of Magic release details of the investigation into one of its own being hung upside down?

The answer is no.

The first two collection operations ended successfully, but this one was different.

Of course cooperation is necessary, but cold words are indispensable.

The Aurors have been called around a lot recently and have long been irritated, so their behavior will inevitably be a little rude.

Everyone knew that if things continued like this, conflicts would arise sooner or later, especially Fudge, who issued the order.

He is very busy today, busy dealing with letters from all walks of life.

Snape's trial was decided on an ad hoc basis, and he originally thought he could suppress the opposition with forceful means, but now it seems that he still overestimated himself.

The growing desire for power will make people unable to extricate themselves, and everyone wants to turn their dreams into reality.

As long as I can survive tomorrow's court hearing, everything will be fine.

The next day's "Daily Prophet" was published as usual and released a bombshell.

The huge photo on the front of the newspaper is a bit blurry, but based on the Hogwarts Castle behind the stone building, it is not difficult to tell that this is a temporary headquarters set up by the Ministry of Magic.

Those onlookers should all be students, and something big might have happened.

Fudge, who was holding the newspaper in his hand, did not continue to read, but tore it in half and threw it into the trash can.

He shouldn't take chances. The temporary headquarters was breached the day before yesterday. It must have been a carefully planned conspiracy.

I get photos every time. Is it really such a coincidence?

"Dumbledore...Rita..." Fudge, who was muttering to himself, suddenly shook his head.

Everyone knew that it was impossible for the two to join forces, and there were so many articles about Rita deliberately discrediting Dumbledore that they were too numerous to count.

Who is the informant?

Are you a school employee? Are you a student? Or the Ministry of Magic personnel sent there?

"The temporary command center has been breached. What is the purpose of the Bat Family..."

The torn-out newspaper headlines came to Fudge's mind again.

Yes, he had actually known for a long time that Snape was not Batman, but as long as there was a connection between the bite and the Bat family, today's trial could proceed smoothly.

However, his dream was shattered after all.

“Knock knock—” The person knocking on the door was Amelia Bones, the current director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

Behind her stood several members of the Wizengamot wearing purple robes.

Fudge in the office adjusted his mood slightly and said, "Come in."

Why are these people who represent the judicial system of the Ministry of Magic here?

Before he could ask, Bones had already placed a newspaper on the table.

"Mr. Minister, after our serious discussions we have unanimously decided to cancel today's trial of Severus Snape."

Fudge stood up slowly, picked up the newspaper and slammed it back on the table, "Do you know what this is? This is a rubbish newspaper that has been classified as highly harmful to the magical world!"

Bones had a cold face, "My niece Susan is studying at Hogwarts. She has often written to me recently to complain about the terrible environment at the school."

Her gaze was very sharp, as if she wanted to pierce Fudge's hypocritical face, "Mr. Minister, you and I both know why the Prophet newspaper was closed down.

If you insist on going to trial, please submit more specific evidence first. "

How can any suspect continue to commit crimes after being detained? If he is an accomplice, why did he give up the rescue many times?

This time, they broke through the temporary headquarters and hung the people upside down, so they started to open the door.

Fudge was speechless, his mind thinking rapidly.

"A blind trick! Yes, this must be a blind trick!"

Why did he deliberately not rescue his accomplices? He must have wanted to completely clear away the suspicion.

Unfortunately, this assumption made Amelia and the others frown.

They represent the judicial power of the Ministry of Magic, so how can they try cases based on hypothetical speculations?

Assuming that Dumbledore is a Death Eater, should he be arrested and tried?

Of course Fudge knew how outrageous what he just said was, but he had no better way now.

Once Snape is acquitted, the Minister of Magic will face numerous questions and may even need to apologize in public.

The judicial department was unwilling to cooperate this time, so they had no choice but to admit their mistakes and stop the losses in time.

Fudge couldn't help but lean back on his chair, "Since you think Severus Snape is not a suspect, then today's trial should be cancelled."

Amelia said expressionlessly, "Mr. Minister, once there is an unfair ruling in the judiciary, the government will lose the trust of the people."

She picked up the crumpled newspaper on the table with a formidable look, "We sincerely hope that interference with justice will not happen easily."

Fudge remained silent until they left the office.

He gritted his teeth and muttered: "Prophet News Agency...Bat Family..."

Although it is still a hypothesis, there is definitely a connection between them, and there is a high probability that they are still in the same group.

As long as evidence is found, he will still be the far-sighted, wise and decisive Minister of Magic.

…

…

Today's court hearing has been cancelled, and it stands to reason that he should be released on the spot.

Unfortunately, the Ministry of Magic was as efficient as ever, and the formalities alone were processed until the afternoon.

Seeing the sun again... no, seeing the sunset again, Snape snorted at Kingsley in front of him.

Those little bastards were really hateful. Even though they came to the cell to wake him up in the middle of the night the day before yesterday, they dared to mock him wantonly.

Especially Nightwing and Robin, do you really think he doesn't know their true identities?

"Ahem--" Kingsley reminded, "Professor Snape, although you are no longer suspected, you will still be under our surveillance."

Snape sneered, "Oh--I know what I should do."

After that, he pushed open the castle gate.

Looking at his gloomy back, Kingsley could only sigh helplessly and turned back to the temporary command center.

One thing is solved, and there are still many things to be solved.

The most urgent thing at the moment is those colleagues who are not in a good mental state.

It's time to have a headache again.

As soon as Snape walked into the hall, the fireworks that greeted him exploded on the ceiling.

"Welcome back, dear Professor Snape--"

The corners of his eyes twitched, and he looked at the twins who led the cheers.

What a disgusting scene.

The louder the applause and cheers from the students, the more indifferent Snape's performance.

Maybe it's not really disgusting, but unaccustomed and not knowing how to deal with it.

Draco walked forward excitedly, "Professor, welcome back."

There was a hint of tears in his voice, probably because he had been bullied badly during this period.

Snape didn't say much, and turned to the dungeon.

But before leaving, he took a deep look at Vincent.

He was able to fool the people in the Ministry of Magic and get himself out so quickly. This little bastard is getting more and more capable.

When everything is resolved, Snape vowed to teach these little bastards a lesson.
