Hogwarts: A little lion in the skin of the Eagle School

As the green flames surged.

John Harry, along with three other adults, stepped out of the fireplace and into the Ministry of Magic.

This place is pretty much the same as the last time I came.

It's just not as lively as during holidays.

"You've arrived. The minister has been waiting for you for a long time."

As soon as they stepped out of the fireplace, an Auror approached them.

And they recognized him—it was Kingsley.

However, at this moment he was just an Auror doing business and did not show any familiarity with the group.

Then he took the elevator with the others.

Once inside the private elevator, Kingsley spoke again: "Later, you two shouldn't argue with the Minister. Just let him say what he wants and don't agree to his requests."

This was clearly addressed to John and Harry.

Harry nodded, and Moody behind him spoke up as well.

"Kingsley, how's the situation at the department? It looks like there are fewer people there."

"Everything is normal, it just so happens that there are more people out on field duty."

At this moment, Sirius Black couldn't help but laugh.

"Perhaps that's why Fudge specifically chose a less crowded day to invite Harry and John over, so they could avoid making a fool of themselves."

Upon hearing this, everyone except Professor Moody couldn't help but chuckle.

Soon we arrived at the top floor—the elevator doors slid open with a "ding".

The group regained their composure and headed towards the minister's office.

knock knock.

Kingsley knocked on the office door.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Potter and Mr. Merrick have arrived."

"Come in."

As Fudge's voice came, the office door opened automatically.

Fudge was sitting at his desk, looking up at the group of people.

"Welcome, Mr. Potter, Mr. Merrick."

Although Fudge's relationship with them has now fallen apart, he is still a competent politician.

He didn't immediately give Harry and John a hard time.

Instead, he stood up to welcome the two of them in a very generous manner, with a perfectly appropriate smile on his face.

The two went inside, while Sirius and his two companions could only wait outside.

The door slowly closed, and Harry and John began their conversation with Fudge.

However, what they didn't know was...

From the moment they stepped into the Ministry of Magic, several pairs of eyes were watching them from the shadows.

"Notify the team leader that the water pipe on the sixth floor has burst again, and call someone to fix it. Also, the water valve outside should be turned on to release water."

"Yes."

......

"Harry, I don't know what triggered you during last year's Triwizard Tournament that led you to fabricate the lie about the resurrection of the Mysterio Void."

"Whether it was arranged by Dumbledore or you were hallucinating, I don't care."

"But now, because of your lie, the entire British wizarding community is in a state of panic, and some have even abandoned their posts and fled abroad."

"Don't you feel even the slightest bit guilty about this?"

"Therefore, I must seriously sue you. If you do not publicly clarify those false statements, I will file a formal lawsuit against you for disturbing public order!"

Inside the minister's office, Fudge tapped his fingertips heavily on the table as he spoke to Harry.

The tone shifted from earnest advice at the beginning to a stern warning later on, putting considerable pressure on the listener.

Someone else might have been genuinely frightened, but Harry wasn't.

He simply shook his head and said calmly.

"But I'm not lying, Your Excellency, Voldemort really is back."

"Don't mention his name!"

As soon as Harry mentioned Voldemort, Fudge roared as if he had been triggered.

"Why can't we mention his name!"

"If you believe he's dead, why fear his name?"

Harry stood up abruptly and retorted angrily.

Fudge's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red, but he still stood up, grabbed the stack of documents on the table, and slammed them heavily onto the surface.

The pages scattered and landed in front of the two people.

"Look for yourselves, there hasn't been a single serious incident in the past two months!"

"If the mysterious man really has been resurrected, how could he possibly be so well-behaved!"

"It's all a scam you staged yourself!"

"I suspect that even those Death Eaters who escaped from Azkaban were kidnapped by you, and now they're just locked up in a different place!"

Harry was amused by these words, which even blamed the Death Eaters who escaped from Azkaban on them.

"Ha, anyway, I wasn't lying! Voldemort is back! Believe it or not!"

"I will not retract those statements!"

Harry said aggressively, showing no respect for Fudge.

Fudge was trembling with rage, his finger almost poking Harry's nose: "Fine! Very well!"

"Then I'll have no choice but to arrest you for disturbing public order!"

However, Harry was not intimidated at all and retorted forcefully.

"Professor Dumbledore won't let you do whatever you want!"

"Even Dumbledore! He must obey my orders!" Fudge roared angrily, his chest heaving.

The two completely broke off relations and confronted each other.

John sat to one side, quietly looking at the documents Fudge had just thrown out.

The above is a safety report for the wizarding community over the past six months.

Data shows that the security situation in the wizarding world has indeed stabilized considerably in the past two months.

All that's left are minor violations.

There was no incident similar to someone going missing, or a serious attack like that of Mr. Weasley.

It's important to understand that even before Voldemort was resurrected, such heinous incidents occurred from time to time, let alone now that Voldemort has been resurrected.

It’s weird.

"Someone come here!"

"Arrest them both! If Dumbledore continues to be so capable, let him try his luck at the Ministry of Magic!"

Fudge and Harry had a serious argument and were ready to fight.

But before Fudge's roar could even finish, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

The people who came were neither Sirius and his group outside the door, nor were they Aurors.

Instead, they are employees of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters.

He was covered in sweat and shouted loudly with a panicked expression.

"It's terrible, Your Excellency Minister!"

"A large number of Dementors have suddenly appeared in the western suburbs of London! They are indiscriminately attacking Muggles!"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

Even Fudge's angry expression froze instantly.

"Wh-what!?"

Fudge exclaimed in alarm, "What's going on?!"

"We don't know either. The Dementors disappeared for two months, and then suddenly they all reappeared today..."

The staff member couldn't give a clear explanation either.

Meanwhile, Sirius and his friends looked at each other, all feeling that something was amiss.

"Send all personnel immediately! Go to the ground and take control of the situation!"

"Remember! The safety of Muggle citizens must be guaranteed!"

Fudge didn't have time to argue with Harry anymore and immediately issued the order.

Just then, another person rushed over.

"Your Excellency, Minister!"

"The Death Eaters who escaped from Azkaban have been spotted! They're in the nearby neighborhood!"
