The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 353 Who doesn't know how to talk?
If you don’t know whether you should say it or not, then don’t say it!
This is what Fudge really thinks. The Minister is still waiting for Dumbledore to agree to his proposal, so it's the turn of the teenage girl to come out and jump.

After the Welfare incident, Fudge discovered Dumbledore's attention to Ada, so Fudge also collected information about Ada. Last year's Chamber of Secrets incident also gave Ada a lot of coverage, which was also due to Fudge's instruction.

Especially after knowing that there was a conflict between Dumbledore and Ada, and that Ada had a close relationship with Rosier, Fudge also began to pay attention to Ada, wanting to bring this extremely talented witch under his command and poach Dumbledore's talents.

However, before Fudge could swing the hoe, he found that he could not dig the corner of the wall by himself.

In Hogsmeade, Dumbledore saved the Ministry of Magic's face, and Ada followed him; today when he came to the Ministry of Magic to discuss Black's matter, Ada was still with Dumbledore.

My god, who said there was a conflict between Dumbledore and Ada? Whoever wants to dig into this broken corner can do so. Mr. Fudge won't serve me anymore!

Fudge wanted to make Ada shut up, to make this little golden-haired girl shut up, but it was a pity that even Dumbledore couldn't do it, so what kind of person was Fudge? Ada didn't even look at Fudge's constipated face, and she spoke directly.

"If I remember correctly, you have been in office since 1990, right?" Ada said. "At that time, I discussed the election of ministers with my classmates and seniors."

Fudge and Umbridge did not give Ada any feedback, but Dumbledore nodded and confirmed Ada's statement. Ada was good at picking up the conversation and making the joke, and Dumbledore was also good at that.

"The Potters had their accident in October 1981, which means that the so-called Sirius's betrayal and the murder of Peter Pettigrew also happened in that year." Ada continued, "You were not the minister at the time, right?"

Ada said it very straightforwardly. There was no point in pretending to be stupid. Fudge nodded and confirmed Ada's statement. Fudge said, "Yes, I was working in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes at the time, and the Minister of Magic was Millicent Barnold."

"I don't know much about the composition and power structure of the Ministry of Magic, but the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes is not responsible for interrogating Death Eaters, right?" Ada asked again.

This series of questions was to give Fudge a chance to clear himself. Fudge knew all this, but as long as he didn't say it out loud, he could pretend to be ignorant and continue to pretend to sleep.

"The head of the Department of Law Enforcement at the time was Barty Crouch," Dumbledore answered for Fudge, "and he was the one who put Sirius in Azkaban."

This iron-blooded and tough-minded Director of the Department of Law Enforcement should have been the new Minister, but his son Barty Crouch Jr. was a Death Eater and directly ruined the Director's future.

Not only was he hopeless as Minister, he was also transferred to the Department of International Magical Cooperation.

It was Barty Crouch who ordered Sirius to be imprisoned in Azkaban at that time. If anyone is to be held accountable, Barty Crouch, who was in charge of this case, should bear the main responsibility and will definitely be the blame.

Everyone should be responsible for what they have done. It is not that Dumbledore wants to harm Barty Crouch, but that is the fact. If Barty Crouch had carefully examined the case and sorted out the facts, there would have been a chance to avoid this unjust case.

"Since you were not the minister at the time, and you were not in charge of hearing the case, can I assume that you have nothing to do with this unjust case?" Ada continued to deceive Fudge, and a faint light appeared on her left hand under the desk.

The steps have been half set up to remove Fudge from this case and prevent people from throwing "dirty water" on Fudge.

In fact, whether this case has anything to do with Fudge depends on how you say it. Ada's statement is that Fudge was removed. If you must use this case to make trouble for Fudge, it is not impossible, but it is far-fetched. "To be honest, I don't see any harm to you, the Minister, in overturning Sirius's case." Ada said, "Who handled the unjust case? Barty Crouch. Who redressed the unjust case? Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic."

"Professor, I remember when my classmates and I were discussing the candidate for Minister, we were actually more optimistic about Barty Crouch." Ada turned to Dumbledore and said, "If it weren't for that son who sucked his feet, we would be facing Barty Crouch today, right?"

Dumbledore did not need to answer this question, because Ada was just changing the concept, secretly replacing Dumbledore, who Fudge believed was the biggest threat to him, with Barty Crouch.

If it weren't for the son who betrayed his father, the position of Minister would have been yours, Cornelius Fudge! If it weren't for this scandal, the person sitting on this chair would have been Minister Crouch. You, Fudge, should just go back to your Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes!

Dumbledore has never directly threatened Fudge's position. Shouldn't the real threat be Barty Crouch or Amelia Bones? Little brother, what's wrong with you? You need to distinguish between enemies and friends! Fudge, do you really want to miss such a good opportunity to suppress your opponent?
When interacting with people, it is best not to talk too much with people you have only just met. Ada's words were not just about talking too much with people you have only just met, they were all from the bottom of her heart, she was wholeheartedly considering the minister and helping him suppress the opposition.

Ada herself believed what he said. After being fooled so many times, it was finally her turn to fool someone else. And the person she fooled was the Minister of Magic. You know what, she felt an unexpected sense of accomplishment.

Fudge's expression relaxed a little, and he began to consider the feasibility of Ada's statement. He knew what Ada said, but Fudge didn't think deeply about it. His attention was on Dumbledore, thinking about how to suppress Dumbledore, but he ignored the enemies around him.

Fudge looked up at Dumbledore. He could not tell whether Dumbledore was happy or angry, nor could he tell what Dumbledore was thinking at the moment. Was he really going to break up with someone he couldn't see through so early?
At this time, the minister needed someone to give him some advice, so Fudge looked at Umbridge beside him, but it was obvious that Umbridge could not help Fudge.

You let Umbridge flatter her superiors and bully her subordinates, you let her discriminate against werewolves and Muggle-born students, and she is very good at all these, but when she really needs to make a decision, Umbridge is useless.

Ada did not speak any more, nor did she disturb Fudge who was thinking carefully. Her words had taken effect, and with the help of the ring, Fudge's focus had shifted away from Dumbledore, so there was no need to say anything more.

Too much talk will lead to mistakes. The time is just right now.

"Cornelly, I just want to stay at Hogwarts and teach." Dumbledore said, "If I wanted to be a minister, I would have done it decades ago."

It added fuel to the fire, and it was done just right. It reminded Fudge that Dumbledore had no intention of becoming Minister, and it also reminded Fudge who Dumbledore really was.

In 1945, Dumbledore defeated the Dark Lord Grindelwald, and Grindelwald's power almost swept across Europe and the United States. Such a Grindelwald was no match for Dumbledore. Can Fudge and the Ministry of Magic be more powerful than Grindelwald?
When Voldemort was rampant in Britain and spreading his dark reign of terror to the rest of England, it was Dumbledore who stood up to resist Voldemort. Could Fudge and the Ministry of Magic be more powerful than Voldemort?
You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, so if you can't wake him up, then he should never wake up again. Ada had already pointed out everything and set up a way for Fudge, and she just needed to wait for Fudge to bow and apologize in one go.

If this was not enough and Fudge continued to pretend to sleep, then he could only say that I had not warned him. Dumbledore's words might not have been threatening or intimidating, but to Fudge they sounded like intimidation.

If Fudge continued to insist and be stubborn, Dumbledore could have chosen other partners, such as Barty Crouch or Amelia Bones.

Or maybe Dumbledore could just bypass the Ministry of Magic and announce this injustice to everyone, then set up a new Ministry of Magic and take Cornelius Fudge, who had no helmet, to go fishing with him.

Thinking of this, Fudge broke out in a cold sweat and regained his lost rationality. Fudge said helplessly: "I will call a meeting as soon as possible, Albus."
