Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 375, Page 369: Please tell Mr. Carlo for me that I thank him for his talisman.

"Connelly, I think we should talk."

Dumbledore tried to make a final attempt to communicate, as he genuinely didn't want things to escalate to an unbearable point.

"There's nothing to talk about between us." Fudge didn't want to communicate with him. He just waved his sleeve forcefully, his wide wizard robes rustling loudly. "I won't let you succeed. Don't even think about getting me off the stage."

"I am the Minister of Magic!"

His expression was almost manic, and he kept muttering incoherently, like a vicious dog guarding its food, constantly growling warnings at Dumbledore, which twisted his originally kind face again.

Fudge had already subconsciously regarded Dumbledore as a rival, and this now confirmed that thought.

To him, Dumbledore was an enemy, an enemy who wanted to take everything away from him.

"From now on, I won't believe a single word you say."

Perhaps finally realizing his lapse in composure, Fudge straightened his collar, trying to appear as if nothing had happened.

Percy, as his secretary, stood discreetly behind him, remaining expressionless throughout the entire process. Even when he saw Dumbledore, he acted as if he didn't recognize him, as if he hadn't graduated from Hogwarts and didn't even blink.

Fudge was naturally extremely satisfied with his secretary's attitude.

At least it shows that he is true to himself.

This was the most trusted confidant he had in the Ministry of Magic besides Umbridge.

"Percy, let's go."

"Yes."

Percy said respectfully, following closely behind Fudge without turning around.

The two left the Third Trial Chamber one after the other, leaving Dumbledore watching their departing figures in silence. However, when he saw two unfamiliar wizards following Fudge shortly after he left the Trial Chamber, his pupils constricted slightly.

The sudden appearance without warning indicates a highly skillful apparition; the entire process is seamless and comfortable, signifying complete mastery of the spell.

Without a doubt, these are two very powerful wizards.

The sharp-eyed Dumbledore also noticed that the wands in the two people's hands were different from ordinary wands, and did not seem to be made by Ollivander.

He was not an Auror, not a wizard from the Ministry of Magic, and probably not even a wizard from England.

Dumbledore made his judgment in an instant.

I wonder where Fudge found such a master.

Based on his understanding of Fudge, the other party would absolutely not be able to recognize such an existence, so who are they?

Did they give Fudge the confidence?

Or did they "manipulate" Fudge?

Things began to go beyond his expectations; these details didn't seem to have been mentioned in the original prophecy.

Dumbledore had too many questions, and no one could answer them for him. Perhaps someone could...

Looks like we'll be having another long phone call tonight.

"Ms. Amelia Borns, please wait a moment."

As the farcical trial concluded and everyone began to leave, Amelia Borns heard someone call her name from behind.

He was a very young wizard who looked to be in his early twenties, wearing a distinctive purplish-red robe. It was quite rare for someone his age to become a member of the Wizengamo.

"Mr. Strange, what brings you here?"

Amelia Borns responded politely.

She recognized the other person.

Eric Strange, one of the most promising young wizards in the Ministry of Magic, is the director of the Office of Liar Products Patents under the Department of Magical Sports. The two have crossed paths more than once, because his friend Dormammu Gargson is the deputy director of the Office for the Prevention of the Abuse of Magic, and Amelia Borns' nominal direct subordinate.

Incidentally, he is also the strongest contender for the position of Director of Magical Sports after Ludo Bagman's departure.

Strange always had a youthful air about him, like a young man who had just graduated from school. He was shy and embarrassed, but anyone who actually treated him like a young man would be in for a big mistake.

Although he was only the director of the Office of Liar Products Patents, the directors of the other two departments of the Department of Magical Sports listened to him without question. Those two directors were seasoned veterans who had been working in the Ministry of Magic for three or four decades.

"Mr. Carlo asked me to give this item to you."

Strange handed Amelia Borns a talisman-like object.

"What is this?"

Amelia Borns didn't rush to take it, but instead asked a question.

She knew the Caro family; the family had produced two Death Eaters who were currently imprisoned in Azkaban.

About five years ago, this family was on the verge of decline, becoming one of the many pure-blood families in the wizarding world. However, in that year, their current head of the family graduated from Hogwarts, took over the position of patriarch from the old head of the family, and turned the tide with an incredible ability, saving the family.

It has now become a model family in the magical world.

Logically speaking, she had no connection with this family, so why would they give her something?

"A small amulet." Strange faithfully performed his role as messenger and respectfully said to Amelia, "Mr. Carlo asked me to tell you that he has recently made a breakthrough in divination and has made some discoveries. You may encounter some difficulties in the near future. Mr. Carlo has always admired your character, so he obtained this amulet for you."

"You can crush it when you feel helpless; this thing might help you."

Amelia Borns paused slightly upon hearing this, then solemnly accepted the amulet and placed it in her pocket.

"Please tell Mr. Carlo that I thank him for his amulet."

Amelia Borns's ability to rise to the position of Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement wasn't solely due to her high magical talent; she immediately understood the significance of this amulet.

What breakthroughs have been made in divination?

Divination is the most talent-dependent discipline in the world (without exception). Without the bloodline of a prophet, it is impossible to foresee the future in one's entire life. As far as she knows, even if the Carlo family traces back a thousand years, not a single prophet has ever emerged from the family.

This is a signal of goodwill towards her, a subtle hint that someone wants to harm her.

Amelia returned to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement with a cold expression, and then went to the Auror office not far away.

She's not the type to sit idly by and wait for death.

As the youngest Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in nearly fifty years, anyone who wants to harm her should first consider whether they are capable enough.

As for who might be plotting against her, there are already some guesses.

Without a doubt, they must be Death Eaters.

At the height of Voldemort's power, the Burns family was the most powerful family in the wizarding world. Voldemort even personally went to Edgar Burns to win him over, but after being rejected, he cruelly murdered the entire family.

The Dark Lord's name spread throughout the magical world from that time onward.

This is a blood feud!
