This Hogwarts is not normal

From the moment Fudge decided to deny Voldemort's return, he should have anticipated that various conflicts, big and small, would occur among wizards.

If Vincent had not resumed the live broadcast in time that night, no one would have believed what Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard in the world, said.

Fudge's mistake was that he underestimated the two of them, thinking that his little tricks were enough to make them submit.

There are an equal number of wizards who choose to believe that Voldemort has returned as there are those who do not, and conflicts like the one between the Blacks and the Malfoys will only intensify.

Vincent in the crowd arrived just in time. Sirius had just knocked old Parkinson down, and Lucius pushed Fudge away in a somewhat dispirited manner.

"Blake, you were the one who started the fight today. I will definitely investigate the matter of you injuring Argos to the end!"

"Me first?" Sirius grabbed his collar, "It was you who ran over to mock us first! So what if Dumbledore is not the president of the International Confederation of Wizards? Is it your master's job to be so eager to show off?"

The word "master" deeply irritated Lucius. He grabbed Sirius' hand in a particularly ungraceful way, "Black, what are you barking about!"

Sirius sneered, "Who is barking? Your owner is so careless that he forgot to fasten your dog leash."

Lucius's face turned red and white, and Fudge, who had been pushed away by him, returned to the middle of the two of them.

"You two are both well-known wizards. Why don't you each take a step back?"

Sirius slapped away Lucius's hand that was grabbing his collar nonchalantly, "How unlucky! You have soiled my new clothes."

Lucius glared at him fiercely, "Blake, what do you want to say?"

Sirius lightly brushed the wrinkled collar of his shirt and looked at his arm with a pointed look, "Didn't your master give you a mark? If this isn't something dirty, what is it?"

Lucius took a step back in horror, and Fudge's face suddenly changed and his smile disappeared.

"Mark? What mark?" The surrounding wizards began to whisper.

Sirius was very brave to mention the Dark Mark in public.

"Hush—that's it."

"Which one? S-Lucius Malfoy has the Dark Mark?"

"That's not surprising. Didn't he say that he was accidentally hit by the You-Know-Who's Imperius Curse? Maybe he was branded at that time."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk - the entire British wizarding world knows that the Malfoy family's words are not trustworthy, and you really believe that he was forced."

"He was not forced? Then why was he acquitted back then?"

The wizards' whispered discussions were like sharp knives stabbing Lucius. His face was pale and he had completely lost his usual elegance and composure.

Sirius seized the opportunity to strike him again, "How annoying! You even pollute the air around us."

"Nonsense!" Lucius raised his snake-head cane tremblingly. "The Ministry of Magic has already found out the truth. I am innocent, right? Mr. Minister?"

Fudge gave his signature fake smile, "Of course, the Malfoys are a very old wizarding family. They have contributed everything to a good cause, how could they be guilty?"

The so-called good cause probably refers to the minister’s private treasury.

Vincent in the crowd smacked his lips, looking forward to how today's events would end.

Sirius was from Gryffindor House, and the word "retreat" did not exist in his dictionary at all.

"You say you are innocent?" He stared at Lucius' arm holding up the snake-head cane again. "Malfoy, there are so many eyes watching here, do you dare to lift up your sleeves to let everyone see your arm?"

This sentence was like lighting a powder keg, and the surrounding wizards immediately became involved in a heated discussion.

Fudge had a gloomy face, but he managed a smile. "Mr. Black, do you have any doubts or misunderstandings about the Ministry of Magic's decision? Let me explain to you in detail the basis on which the Ministry of Magic made the not guilty verdict."

Sirius was about to speak when Lupin behind him quickly stepped forward and held his shoulders.

The two of them whispered something and Sirius nodded rather unhappily.

"No need, Mr. Minister." He did not hide the contempt on his face, "We, the ancient pure-blood wizard families, don't have any special abilities. We are just Golden Galondo."

He glanced at Lucius arrogantly, "I will consult a professional legal advisor about my doubts."

Lucius laughed out of anger.

The Malfoy family has Death Eaters, but your Black family doesn’t?

Sirius's cousin Bellatrix was still in Azkaban, and his younger brother Regulus became a Death Eater while he was still in school.

Sirius was just lucky. If Peter Pettigrew had not been caught, he would have been kissed by the Dementors long ago and there would have been no chance of overturning the case.

Lucius looked at Sirius with a dead look in his eyes, "Black, after all, you have been a prisoner for 12 years. I don't blame you for not knowing anything."

His eyes turned cold and fierce. "But I want to advise you that the laws of the wizarding world cannot be toyed with casually. If it happens again, I will hold you accountable for deliberately defaming and spreading rumors about me."

Sirius's eyes also turned cold, "You said I was slandering you? Do you have any evidence?"

Seeing that a new round of conflict was about to start, Fudge hurriedly and "enthusiastically" separated the two people, "You two are both members of ancient pure-blood wizard families. Lucius is joking, right?"

Sirius still did not treat the seemingly humble Minister of Magic well.

If there hadn't been so many wizards around, he would have been taken back to the Ministry of Magic long ago.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. "It doesn't matter if you don't have evidence. I dare to take responsibility for what I said, Malfoy. Do you dare?"

Lucius's brows furrowed into deep grooves, and the corners of his mouth twisted downwards. "Childish."

Everyone thought that Sirius would not stop there, but he just sneered, turned around and walked into the Prongs magical home appliance store without looking back.

The matter was finally resolved, but its impact had just begun.

The wizards around dispersed, but the conversation between the two spread at an extremely fast speed.

Even without instant communication devices like magic communicators, the news would still spread throughout the British wizarding world in less than half a day.

It is still unclear whether Voldemort will return, and whether Lucius was hit by the Imperius Curse has become a hot topic again.

The homepage of the dubidubi video platform is full of interpretations and analyses uploaded spontaneously by users, and anchors led by Rita also started live broadcasts as soon as possible.

Soon, old Crabbe, old Goyle, old Avery, old Nott, Travers, McNeill and other Death Eaters who had escaped punishment that year were also dug out for discussion.

All this had nothing to do with Vincent. After watching the show, he waited quietly until the people from the Ministry of Magic left, and then slowly walked into the Prongs magic home appliance store.
