Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

Chapter 139 Fudge's Struggle

The British Ministry of Magic is located underground in central London.

There are many entrances here, most of which are disguised in some buildings in the Muggle community. The most common one is a public phone booth on the roadside. Dial the number "62442", state your identity and purpose, and you can take the phone booth elevator to enter the Ministry of Magic.

Of course, this is just a relatively common approach; there are also more abstract approaches.

For example, entering through the flush toilet in a public restroom...

The most common method used by Kevin and his friends is to enter the Ministry of Magic through the Floo Net fireplace.

After being summoned by the Ministry of Magic, Kevin and his group did not go directly to the Ministry.

Instead, they went first to the Weasleys' Burrow, where Mr. Weasley had already received word and was waiting for them.

After they had settled their luggage and pets, they were led by Mr. Weasley and teleported directly to the Ministry of Magic through the fireplace.

As green flames enveloped his body, and after a brief moment of weightlessness, Kevin arrived at the Ministry of Magic first.

Just like in the movie, the fireplace exit is located in a huge arched passageway made of shiny black brick walls. Inside the passageway are countless fireplaces, also inlaid with gold trim, all of which are used by the Ministry of Magic.

At the end of the passageway is the main hall of the Ministry of Magic. The most prominent feature of the main hall is the fountain with a golden statue on it, and behind the fountain, the flag with Fudge's image hanging high.

The fountain's pool glittered because it contained many Galleons, which were donated to St. Mungo's Hospital by people from all walks of life in the wizarding world.

As green flames continued to rise behind them, Harry and his friends gradually arrived at the Ministry of Magic.

It was their first time here as well, and they all curiously looked around the main hall of the Ministry of Magic.

"Come on, kids, the minister is probably already waiting for you."

Mr. Weasley waved to the crowd, signaling them to follow him.

As the group passed the main fountain, they noticed a large group of reporters in the main hall, some carrying cameras and others holding notebooks.

"Hey, look! It's Harry Potter and Kevin! They've come to the Ministry of Magic!"

Harry and Kevin were spotted quickly, and a crowd of reporters swarmed toward them.

However, the Ministry of Magic's security personnel had already received orders and immediately stopped the reporters from surrounding Kevin and his companions.

However, their voices continued to ring out.

"Mr. Potter! Mr. Kevin! I heard you were attacked by hundreds of Soul Eaters. Was that the work of the mysterious man?"

"Has the mysterious man really come back to life?! Do you know where he is now?!"

Kevin and his companions ignored the reporters' persistent questions; whether Voldemort had truly returned was now beyond question.

They soon passed through the main hall and arrived at a circular elevator lobby, which was surrounded by twenty golden-railed elevators that led to the various floors of the Ministry of Magic.

They took the elevator to the second floor, which housed the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, responsible for judicial and law enforcement matters, as well as the Auror Command and the Wizengamo Administration.

It is located in the core area of ​​the Ministry of Magic's power, and the entrance is protected by dedicated guards and anti-intrusion magical barriers.

The Minister of Magic's office is also on this floor.

Following Mr. Weasley, they passed through the gazes of the Wizengamots and Aurors and arrived at the Minister's office.

Two Aurors stood at the door. They recognized one of them, Mr. Shackles, who had secretly joined the Order of the Phoenix. They didn't recognize the other, but he seemed to be of high status as well.

When they saw Kevin and the others arrive, they didn't say anything, but simply pushed open the door to the minister's office and gestured for them to come in.

The minister's office has dark wood floors and walls, with one wall covered with various portraits and a flag with the letter "M".

One side is furnished with sofas, chairs, and green plants for receiving guests, as well as a large bookshelf.

Fudge was sitting at the desk directly in front of the main entrance, with a floor-to-ceiling window behind him offering a clear view of the main hall.

The Grangers also appeared there, sitting on the sofa, anxiously waiting for something.

As soon as Kevin and the others entered, Hermione saw her parents sitting on the sofa and ran over to them first.

"Mom and Dad!" she cried out excitedly, hugging them both.

"Hermione, it's alright, it's alright..."

The Grangers also hugged Hermione and comforted her.

Then they looked at Kevin, nodded to him, and Kevin smiled back before looking at Fudge.

Fuguitar didn't say anything to disturb Hermione's reunion with her parents, and didn't even notice Kevin and the others.

Instead, his face occasionally showed worry and doubt as he looked at the documents on the table.

"Your Excellency Minister."

Mr. Weasley spoke first, calling out to Fudge.

Fudge then raised his eyes and looked at Kevin.

A hint of struggle seemed to appear in Fudge's eyes.

He chose to meet Kevin and the others in his own office, clearly not wanting their conversation to be overheard by too many people.

Fudge didn't speak, but waved his hand, and the documents on the table flew up and landed in Kevin's hands.

Harry Ron immediately came over to take a look.

The above is very simple: the Auror saw Bella kneeling before Voldemort through Legilimency on Bella.

Their attack on the Grangers was also on Voldemort's orders.

It seems they're trying to use this to blackmail Kevin and Harry into doing something.

"Wow, it seems we don't need to say anything more, Minister."

Kevin smiled and said after reading it.

That's why he wanted to leave one survivor.

But Fudge's expression still wasn't very good.

"Mr. Kevin, I need to warn you, to this day, no one has seen the Mysterious Man. Everything you said last year is still a rumor!"

Fudge stood up and said coldly.

"Really? Then why are you showing me this?"

"Actually, you yourself are starting to believe it, aren't you?"

Kevin handed the documents to Harry, letting them look at them as much as they wanted, and then casually walked over to Fudge's desk and sat down.

Fudge didn't speak, but his face grew increasingly grim, as if he were making a difficult decision.

"Your Excellency, please stop being so stubborn."

"If the news of Voldemort's resurrection is true, then your previous actions were undoubtedly protecting him and becoming his accomplice."

"What awaits you is being ousted from power and losing everything you have now."

Hearing Kevin's words, Fudge seemed unconvinced and, holding his breath, said coldly.

"But if it's fake, I will still be removed from office for spreading rumors and creating panic."

"And I now have every reason to suspect that you sent people to break into Azkaban, then disguised yourself as the Mysterious Man and gave orders to those Death Eaters!"

"The evidence is that Dumbledore disappeared during this period; he wasn't at Hogwarts, and no one could find him."

Kevin was speechless after hearing Fudge's words. It was a mistake of his to have expectations of Fudge...
