The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 394: Fraud (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote)
"This is the same kind of news again." Hermione angrily threw the newspaper onto the dining table. The front page of the newspaper thrown onto the table read: "Griselda MacBance, the elder of the Wizengamot, has been suspended for allegedly colluding with the goblin subversion group."

"It's only been two weeks, and he's already the second pro-Dumbledore Wizengamot elder to be suspended. It seems Fudge has completely lost his shame for his own power." Ryan came over and took a look at the newspaper and said, "It's a pity that Professor Dumbledore is a good man now, and we can't retaliate in kind."

When I read the book, I felt very aggrieved when I saw this part of Ryan. Now that I have experienced it myself, I find that the description in the book is still a lot less serious. The real situation is worse than described in the book. Dumbledore, who has a bottom line, suffers more in this struggle than Fudge, who has no bottom line.

If those people were Death Eaters, it would be easier to deal with them. If that didn't work, they could be persuaded with magic. Unfortunately, the enemy was a member of the Ministry of Magic. Dumbledore, who had to follow the rules in everything, would definitely not be able to beat Fudge, who made those rules.

"It's obvious that most people support us. How dare Fugui go against everyone? Who gave him the courage?" At this time, Ron also came out from the side holding a newspaper.

"Who else could it be? Those pure-blood families." Hermione crossed her arms and said, "After all, they control the Ministry of Magic. As supporters of You-Know-Who, they must want to cause trouble for Dumbledore. But maybe even they didn't expect that Fudge, driven by his desire for power, would cause us so much trouble."

"I think we should find a way to cause some trouble for Umbridge so that she won't be staring at us all day." Ryan said to Hermione on the way back to the common room after the morning class.

"It's a good idea, but do you have any specific ideas?" Hermione asked as she took a few quick steps and walked shoulder to shoulder with Ryan.

"Give Umbridge a love that is not tolerated by the world. As far as I know, this kind of news spreads the fastest and makes people most confused." At this time, the two walked to the portrait of the Fat Lady, and Ryan turned to Hermione and told him his plan.

"This method is a bit..." Hermione frowned, and after crawling into the common room she said, "You're right, although this method is a bit low-key, it should be the most effective. Not to mention that Fudge and his gang even resorted to framing others, so don't blame us for taking a reciprocal approach against them."

Hermione paused for a moment before continuing, "Now there is a problem. I don't know what kind of feelings are unacceptable to wizards. I am worried that the moral standards of the wizarding world may be different from what we understand in some aspects."

"This is easy. I know someone knows it." Ryan showed an excited expression. "Fred, George."

"What's up?" The twins, who were sitting at a table in the corner of the common room and discussing something on the notebooks in front of them, raised their heads and asked.

"That--" When Ryan walked in front of the twins, he realized that his question was a bit awkward, especially when he asked it in front of his girlfriend. But at this point, Ryan could only bite the bullet.

"I would like to ask, for a wizard, what kind of feelings are unacceptable?"

"Well?" Fred and George looked at each other and smiled strangely. "Did you suddenly realize that you two are long-lost siblings?"

"No, it has nothing to do with us." Ryan and Hermione answered in unison. "Besides this?"

"That's part of interracial love, like Hagrid's parents. But we've always been curious about how his parents--" At this point the twins looked at Hermione and shut up.

Ryan, who had been active on the Internet in his previous life, understood immediately. Hermione was still confused, and then turned to ask Ryan, "What exactly is going on? What do they just mean?"

"You are not yet an adult, so it is better for you not to know about this." Ryan said, touching Hermione's hair, then looked at the twins and said, "I guess wizards should have a lot of potions and spells in this regard. Okay, let's not discuss this. Is there anything else?"

"Then we can't think of anything more." The twins shrugged with some regret. "As long as the gap between the two sides is not too big, wizards are still very tolerant. For example, last year's Fleur, although some people complained about her bloodline, it was just jealousy. We heard from Bill that there are a lot of wizards in France who are drooling over Fleur's grandfather with envy." "What if it's not a taboo unique to wizards?" Ryan suddenly thought of the blind spot in his previous question.

"There are many. For example, if one of the parties is married, it will definitely be looked down upon. Another example is the love affair between a captain and a player of the Holyhead Harpies team. This kind of love between superiors and subordinates is definitely not allowed."

"Holyhead Harpies? That seems to be an all-female team, right?" Hermione asked in confusion. "You mean the captain and the players?"

"Hermione." Fred crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back on the sofa. "For wizards, some of our sexual orientations are at best unacceptable by the mainstream society, but they are far from being morally corrupt, let alone taboos. In this regard, we are more open-minded than Muggles."

"That's right." George also responded. "Why did you ask us this question today?"

"This will be useful to us." Ryan and Hermione looked at each other and said, "You will soon know why you asked this. Maybe we will need your help later."

"Can you tell me about your plan now?" Hermione asked impatiently after saying goodbye to the twins.

"It's simple. I will try to create some news that looks real. Then I will spread some records." Ryan said this with a mysterious smile on his face. After that, no matter how Hermione asked, he refused to tell her the specific plan. He just smiled and said that you will know in two days. I have to wait until I am ready before I can start the operation.

Two days later, after the Herbology class, Ryan took Hermione to the Room of Requirement when there was no class afterwards. This was where the Ravenclaw diadem was hidden before, but now a corner of the room was surrounded by a circle of wooden boards with a door on top.

"What is this?" After opening the door, Hermione found that the area surrounded by wooden boards looked very familiar. The overall layout was like an office, but she couldn't remember where it was.

"I arranged this according to Fudge's office in the photo," Ryan said. "The two of us are going to make some sacrifices and play the roles of Umbridge and Fudge to take some photos."

"How do we act?" Hermione suddenly became excited. "Do we need to disguise ourselves?"

"No need." A crisp female voice sounded, and Hermione turned her head to see Rose Quartz flying over with a brass camera. "Brother has just made a new camera that can automatically replace the people in it with the same people. For example, if it takes a picture of you two kissing, the film will turn out to be Umbridge and Fudge kissing."

"That's good." Hermione patted her chest gently. "I definitely can't eat it if I look at Fudge's face."

"Yeah, that's why I invented this camera." Ryan shrugged. "Do you think I can swallow that toad's face?"

The next afternoon, the two spent it under Rose Crystal's orders like "Closer, closer." "Be a little shy." "Be a little wild, Umbridge is not the kind of person who is gentle and refined." When all the photos were taken, the two's faces were red enough to bleed.

Fortunately, their efforts were not in vain, and the six rolls of film shot this afternoon were of excellent quality. If used well, it would be enough to give a blow to Fudge and Umbridge, who have been so proud of themselves recently.
