Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 178 Handling
Ah, - Intuit!

McGuffin swallowed and calmed down his trembling brain.

At the same time, the wizard in the maintenance office gave a small lesson to all the wizards in this room.

——How did the portrait get crooked?

——It turns out that the portrait in this room is the original of the huge portrait outside, and the two are connected with each other through the inlaid magic pattern, so that a portrait can be magnified thousands of times and displayed in front of the wizards at low cost.

"This is a brand new spell technology from other wizarding circles. Minister Fauci, didn't you introduce it?... So we don't know how it happened now... According to our guess, after the magic pattern was taken away, the balance of several spells in the original photo should have been destroyed... It even further aroused the reaction of the original portrait..." The wizard who explained carefully peeked at Fauci's face, and his voice became softer.

"And you see, this is not our problem! Someone deliberately sabotaged it..."

After finishing speaking, the staff of the Maintenance Department of the Ministry of Magic still tried to excuse themselves.And the few wizards who had made small moves before (for the magic pattern loosely) looked at each other, and found that it was not their fault, which really made them breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he knew the reason for what happened, but because everyone didn't want to cause this big trouble, the atmosphere in the room gradually became cold and silent.

It's just suffocating.

At this moment, a voice broke the silence.

"Heh, isn't this much easier?"

Lucius Malfoy let out a piercing sneer, that condescending, mocking smile on his face.

"As long as you check the pockets and clothes of everyone present...if someone has stuffed things up, can't you know who the criminal is?"

He dragged his tone and continued, "Anyway, I have nothing wrong with me, and I will not do this kind of thing specifically against you, Minister Fauci, and my family's financial resources and honor will never allow me to do such indecent things, but there is a living situation that is not so rich... a certain wizard who lives in a slum... that's another story."

Mr. Weasley stared at Lucius coldly, with a look of extreme disgust on his face, as if he saw something disgusting on the sole of his shoe.

——He knew that the other party was targeting him.

For a moment, McGuffin was really afraid that Mr. Weasley would lose his mind, so he beat Lucius in front of half of the wizards in the Auror office, the Minister of Magic.

That would be a mess, even if Dumbledore was on their side...

and many more!

Gan!
Shir!
Fuck me... Malfoy, you bastard!

Only then did McGuffin realize that according to Lucius' pissing behavior and the last time he helped Dumbledore at Hogwarts against him, this guy would definitely search him... and then found those two scumbags...

Come down like this... The luxurious 'Azikaban Settlement' seems to be in front of McGuffin again, waving to him.

No, it can't go on like this...

When McGuffin was trying to stir his brain, trying to get himself out of this dangerous situation.

The struggle between Lucius and Mr. Wesley has begun to heat up, so much so that they ignore the other wizards in front of them, and they are about to start.

"Malfoy! Since you said so, I'm afraid you don't mind letting me check it! Wait for a while to check... I will visit your home in person to see if you are as innocent as yourself..."

Mr. Weasley, he said.

Take it for granted... These words angered Malfoy, his pale face flushed suddenly, and he smashed his gilt and silver cane to the ground hard.

The two gasped, glaring at each other.

"Stay away, sir, don't be like this, you are a wizard..."

A loud voice rang out, and Rufus next to him began to act as Mr. Nice Man.

He stood beside the two of them and said, "Weasley, Lucius' proposal is not unreasonable, in order to get rid of this situation as soon as possible, and to prove our innocence...Maybe we can follow Malfoy's proposal, of course, let us have the wizard who didn't reach the Auror office on the fifth floor just now..."

——Of course Rufus doesn't believe this kind of statement, it's just that he wants to quickly find a way to go down, and it just so happens that Lucius' words are a suitable reason.

"Don't bother! I think Mr. Weasley and I would be happy to body search each other to prove our innocence..." Malfoy said slowly, drawling and putting on a show.

His light-colored eyes looked at the clothes Mr. Weasley was wearing, showing contempt, and sighed.

"My God, it looks like you didn't gain anything by betraying us wizards? Did you?"

Goodman wanted to persuade the two. In his opinion, this idea had no other purpose except to make others more dissatisfied with the Ministry of Magic and add more flavor to the report of the Daily Prophet.

"The two of them, I can attest, have been with me... Rufus! They shouldn't be criminals!" Goodman said.

Before finishing speaking, Fauci, who has no sense of trust in anyone now, the Minister of Magic interrupted directly, "It won't hurt if you try it, right?"

This made David Goodman half dead.

He was trying his best to get everything back on track, but the various tricks of the 'knowing king' in front of him made him waste his efforts.

"Let's start putting..."

After getting permission from the minister, the two drew out their wands, pointed at each other's pockets, and said, "Fly around!"

"Fly around, fly around!...Fly around!"

Although it was just a simple spell to find something, it almost felt like a magical duel when used by two wizards who disliked each other or even hated each other.

At first, all kinds of gadgets jumped out of their pockets.

The Gallon on Lucius Malfoy's body, various magic items, and jewelry were all displayed in front of other people's eyes...

And Mr. Weasley is quite a bit...all Muggle things...buttons, batteries, London subway map... (This makes Lucius' eyes mocking even more)

Things whizzed and flew out.

But after that, it became a bit outrageous, beyond the original taste.

I don't know which of the two started it first...Buttons, cufflinks, and even shoelaces hanging on the clothes...anything that is not worn directly on the body and is firmly tied will be peeled off and flew out.

In the end even both of their belts were pulled out...set aside.

——Seeing that the two are about to have a naked competition!

"Stop, stop,... stop for me!"

Rufus was stunned at the side, and then hurriedly stopped, and even used a magic spell to separate the two.

Many wizards were eating melons and eating melons, and they were secretly laughing.

This made Lucius Malfoy furious.

——In fact, he also knew that Weasley could not be a criminal. After all, the two had been in the same house when the incident happened. He originally wanted to humiliate Weasley.

——I didn't expect to put myself in it.

Filled with anger, he continued to find a bad guy.

Then the MacGuffin Albert came into his sight,
"Fly around!" He directly used a silent spell, pointing at McGuffin's pocket and waving his wand.

The pocket shook a few times, but nothing jumped out, which was beyond Lucius' expectation.

After McGuffin noticed that his pocket was trembling a few times, he was overjoyed. Fortunately, he took the precaution and thought of a way to send the two 'uncles' to heaven in advance.

— Literally, really literally.

The two little guys are having a great time playing on the roof of this room...

And McGuffin could only secretly pray that the two uncles would not make any noise, so as not to attract the attention of others.

When Lucius suggested it, McGuffin felt that the situation was not going well. After thinking for a long time, he finally asked him to find a way out... He quickly used most of the remaining talent points on his panel on [Levitation Curse], leaving only two or three points for emergency.

[Levitation Curse (5%/Extraordinary)] → [Levitation Curse (9%/Extraordinary)]

Even though the effect of improving the [Levitation Curse] can no longer be seen immediately, the gain is not worth the loss, but at least it has passed the immediate danger.

— so that he can now cast spells silently and without a staff.

While everyone was attracted by the 'naked battle' between Mr. Weasley and Lucius Malfoy,
McGuffin hurriedly took the two 'uncles' out of his pockets, then sneaked away from everyone's eyes, leaned against the corner and cast a floating spell to send the two 'uncles' to the sky. '

(At this time Dumbledore found out about this and secretly cast an invisibility spell on the two snuffers, but McGuffin didn't look up at the snuffers to keep calm--so he doesn't know now)

When McGuffin raised his head, he suddenly found Dumbledore showing that familiar smile to himself, and it seemed that he knew something.

——Ma Dan, this old bee, can't hide anything from him!

But fortunately, I should have maintained the same position as him now.

Should this old bee tell Fauci?

Although it reminded McGuffin that this possibility was very small, both from feeling and reason, it still made him worry.

Afterwards, when McGuffin's magic power was about to run out and he felt like he was going to faint (casting spells without a wand, and silent casting would lead to a huge consumption of magic power), the Aurors finally checked everyone in their pockets (including the little wizard McGuffin).

Only at this time did most wizards realize that there was a little wizard in the mix.

When Rita Skeeter sparked an idea,
McGuffin secretly put down the two snuffers with 'eyes ahead' and hid them in his pockets, secretly praying that no one would find them.

"Okay, Minister, let's leave. Everyone here has done what you asked, and no problems have been found? Isn't it? What's more, the portrait I found was deliberately destroyed..."

"You are?" Fauci regained his senses. He looked at the somewhat familiar but unrecognizable curly-haired witch in the bejeweled 'precious' dress in front of him.

- It shouldn't be!He knew all the Ministry of Magic members.

"Rita Skeeter!"

"I'm a columnist for the [Daily Prophet]!"

Rita Skeeter smiled, showing her glistening gold teeth, and shook Fauci's hand.

——I have all the materials needed for the report... No one else can be more comprehensive and detailed than myself.

Rita Skeeter felt that it was a waste of time to stay here, so she hurried back to write this article [The Love and Hate of the Minister of Wrong Mouth] [Daily Work and Life after Fauci Bewitched by the Mental Retardation Curse] and [The Corruption of the Ministry of Magic in England]

Rita Skeeter felt inspired and had to get back to writing!
"Reporter!?" Fauci realized this, and the smirk on his face gradually froze.

I actually put the biggest 'enemy' near me, and asked her to collect all the materials and information without warning.

"You... why are you here!" Fauci was furious, and anger welled up in his heart again.

- It's over!Tomorrow is another full-page headline.

Fauci stared straight at the thick leather notebook in Rita Skeeter's hand, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything but watch her open the door and leave.

The remaining wizards of the Ministry of Magic originally wanted to leave, but seeing Fauci's face, they stopped in their tracks and dared not speak.

"Goodman, I need help!"

After Fauci woke up, he whispered to David Goodman and said.

"If this matter is not settled, I will be very embarrassed...and I don't know what reporter will write...If it is serious, I may even be kicked out of the stage..."

"Oh!...Don't say that, it's not possible, but there is indeed a high probability that you will step down!" Goodman said with a deadpan expression that he was very serious about Fauci.

"...don't you recognize this reporter? She's Rita Skeeter...your colleague was resigned because of her!"

"Coming together?"

"Yes, don't you remember? ... two years ago? The French Minister for Magic ended up stepping down because of a report she wrote ...!"

"The [French Minister of Magic and his dozen lovers]!"

"I remember that you and I laughed alone... saying that every leader of the French Ministry of Magic couldn't control his lower body... which led to his resignation... They actually fell into the hands of a little reporter!"

"Yes, yes, I remember!" Fauci looked embarrassed, and immediately glared at the people next to him with pricked ears.

— which caused the other wizards to step back a little.

Then the two of them continued talking.

"Poor French Minister of Magic...he's just a little romantic, and a little sentimental towards women... Where did he have more than a dozen lovers? Only two or three! What's more, he is still single, so what is his girlfriend called? Isn't that guy free?" At this time, Fauci felt a little 'empathy' and sympathized with the French Minister of Magic.

"And this hateful Rita Skeeter is a reactionary, an anarchist, who is specifically against us, the Minister of Magic. Last time it was France. Are you targeting me this time?"

"Poor... Where did the dozen lovers come from?" Goodman repeated and emphasized,

"I remember you told me last time that although he didn't have more than a dozen lovers, besides witches, he also had Muggle lovers... There were even banshees, vampires, lovers who had a one-night stand, and even a horseman..."

"This kind of story is enough to be written in the dirty tabloids... Of course, this reporter has not discovered these, otherwise your colleague will not only be simply resigned, he even violated the [Wizard World Secrecy Law]!"

"However, of course the biggest reason is because this Rita Skeeter painted the French Ministry of Magic as a large brothel..." Goodman continued after changing the subject.

"This caused the French wizards to lose face, furious and joined forces to drive this unlucky guy out of power..."

"But it made Rita Skeeter, a reporter, famous and started to make a name for herself!"

"Since then, she has been focusing on big shots! She has done a lot of similar tricks!"

"If I were you, I would be very careful!"

"what!!?"

Cornelius Fauci suddenly turned pale.

　I re-wrote it, and I plan to put the ending part in the next chapter
