Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

The Horcruxes in Gringotts have all been revived, but I wonder if there have been any changes to Voldemort's Horcrux in Black's old house.

At the end of the letter, Sirius expressed his anticipation for Isaac's reply and asked Isaac to keep Harry's affairs a secret.

Sirius Black stated that he promised Potter he would be Harry's godfather after Harry was born.

He was undoubtedly a failure as a godfather, but he still wanted to give Harry a surprise.

In the Great Hall, Isaac put down the parchment and began to ponder.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Sirius will be a regular addition to Isaac's deck during the holidays, and will be in Isaac's hand when the next school year begins.

So, should Sirius Black replace Professor Venda as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor next school year?

Isaac knew that if he made the offer, Dumbledore would not refuse.

In fact, Dumbledore would probably be quite happy if he could delegate the task of finding a professor for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

But Isaac didn't intend for Sirius to become the professor.

Sirius Black's surname is Black, which is a pure-blood family on the same level as the Lestrange family.

The good thing about the Black family is that Sirius Black is the only one in the entire family who can actually manage things.

There is no other male heir in the entire Black family.

Isaac already has a choice regarding next year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Despite his young age, Isaac is already able to think from the perspective of the Hogwarts headmaster.

Soon, Isaac wrote a reply to Sirius Black on the table in the Great Hall.

He said he would definitely visit Sirius's home during the holidays and would also help him keep it a secret from Harry.

As for now, he has Sirius Black recuperate properly in St. Mungo's.

Harry also didn't want to see his godfather as a emaciated, sickly man.

Chapter 126 The Pink Toad's Trip

Ministry of Magic, Minister's office.

Sitting behind his desk, Fudge completely lost his usual ministerial demeanor.

His coat was wrinkled, and his clothes underneath were even more disheveled. Clearly, Fudge hadn't slept well last night.

Or rather, with such a huge mess in Diagon Alley, Fudge didn't get any rest at all.

dong dong dong.

There was a careful knock on the door of the minister's office, and then Umbridge's voice came from outside.

"Minister, may I come in?"

"Dolores? Come in."

As soon as Umbridge entered the office, he saw Fudge pouring a stimulant into his mouth.

The potion that could be given to the Minister of Magic must be of the highest quality, but unfortunately this high-quality potion could only slightly boost Fudge's spirits.

This will prevent the blood vessels in his head from throbbing so violently as if they're about to burst.

Umbridge knew that Fudge hadn't slept all night, having been discussing countermeasures with people from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the Auror Office, and the Minister's Office.

Not long after Scrimgeour brought the Fairy Manager back yesterday, Gringotts sent a representative demanding that the Bank Manager be taken back as well.

The reason is simple: Gringotts' goblin representative said their manager was under the Imperius Curse at the time.

According to the conventions of the British magical community, crimes committed by wizards under the influence of the Imperius Curse should not be prosecuted.

Moreover, their manager didn't commit any crime at all.

He was merely coerced by the Death Eaters into opening a vault door, nothing more.

Meanwhile, Gringotts is urging the Ministry of Magic to find the Death Eaters who robbed the Magical Bank as soon as possible.

Because their Fiendfire caused significant damage to the Lestrange family's treasury, the Death Eaters must pay for it.

In addition, because their actions caused a major image crisis for Gringotts Magical Bank, Gringotts also has a bill that they need to pay.

The goblin implied that if the Ministry of Magic couldn't find the Death Eaters in time, Gringotts' bill would have to be transferred to the British Ministry of Magic for compensation.

The goblins of Gringotts are not easy to deal with, and the wizards of the magical world are just as difficult.

After Scrimgeour led his team back, owls kept bringing letters from wizards in the magical world.

These letters all had one purpose: to inquire about the true nature of Fudge's Death Eaters.

They usually live like rats in the gutter, afraid that others will discover their identities as Death Eaters.

Then one day he suddenly became brave?

The remains have reappeared...

During Voldemort's reign, this thing served a similar purpose to the Death warrant.

If a wizard discovers signs of skeletal remains reappearing in the sky, it means that someone has died somewhere.

The British magical community hasn't seen this thing for over a decade, and now it's reappeared, right above Diagon Alley.

what does this mean?

Does this mean that these Death Eaters have found themselves a new master?

Is another demon king about to emerge in the British wizarding world?

The probing words in these letters made Fudge's temples throb with rage.

He hasn't replied to a single letter since yesterday—he can't reply, and he doesn't dare to reply.

Whether he admits it or not, this kind of thing could easily veer into the conversation: "Go to Hogwarts and ask Dumbledore for help!"

How can this be allowed?

Even after learning the full story, Fudge still couldn't punish Scrimgeour.

Because Scrimgeour's handling of the situation in Diagon Alley and Gringotts yesterday was flawless.

If Scrimgeour hadn't extinguished that Fiendfire yesterday, it would have set the entire Gringotts ablaze, and Fudge wouldn't be receiving letters today inquiring about the Death Eaters' inner workings.

That's why everyone in the British wizarding world who owns property in Gringotts wanted to kill him, especially the wealthiest pure-blood families.

When it really comes to that, even the Minister of Magic won't help.

Just watch how green my Avada is when it eats the melon, and that's it.

Umbridge glanced at Fudge cautiously, then quietly placed a thick stack of letters on Fudge's desk.

Fudge glanced at it and felt a splitting headache.

That potion I just drank was a waste.

Otherwise, write a letter to Snape and see if he has any more potent potions.

Fudge rubbed his temples as he asked Umbridge, "Dolores, who sent these letters?"

Umbridge immediately replied, “There are letters from Senator Wizengamo and from the board of directors of St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Injuries.”

There were also several letters from the Hogwarts Board of Governors, and...

Umbridge paused for a moment, then said, "There's also a letter from Hogwarts."

“A letter from Hogwarts? Isaac?” Fudge opened his eyes upon hearing Umbridge’s words.

Umbridge denied it, saying, "Uh...it wasn't Mr. Waldore's letter, it was Mr. Weasley's."

Percy Weasley.

“Percy Weasley…Arthur’s son?” Fudge pondered. “I think I vaguely remember him.”

Was this the kid who testified on behalf of the Weasleys at the hearing for Peter Pettigrew?

"Yes, that's him. Minister, do you remember him? He was the one who greeted us along with Mr. Potter when we went to Hogwarts Castle."

"Oh, I remember now." Fudge's expression changed from expectant to blank.

Fudge is starting to see Isaac as a lucky charm; every time Isaac "comes to" him, bad things always turn into good things.

Fudge had assumed this time would be no exception.

But since the letter was sent by Percy Weasley... Umbridge's reminder reminded Fudge of the somewhat solicitous young man at the main gate of Hogwarts Castle.

So this letter is either sycophantic or, like everyone else, what can he expect from a Hogwarts student?

Not everyone is Isaac, Fudge believed Isaac possessed an innate political talent.

Fudge admired this talent even more than Isaac's magical talent.

In the realm of magic, Fudge really had nothing to say. But in the realm of politics, he and Isaac were like kindred spirits!

Perhaps Isaac hasn't received news of Diagon Alley yet? News from Hogwarts is rather limited.

Fudge himself was too embarrassed to write to Isaac.

Just as Fudge was about to skip over the letter to Percy, Umbridge suddenly spoke up: "Why don't you take a look at Mr. Weasley's letter?"

I've heard that Mr. Weasley is a Gryffindor prefect and has excellent grades. Perhaps Mr. Weasley could offer some fresh perspectives?

Clearly, Umbridge was familiar with the student life at Hogwarts, and she intended to trip Percy up.
