if i am not me

"In...Malfoy Manor?" His eyes widened, Harry looked at Draco, never expecting that Bella would be in Malfoy Manor.

Nodding, Draco seemed to have thought of something, and frowned slightly, "My parents thought I didn't know, but they didn't expect that although I didn't dare to trespass in those forbidden places, I still had a little curiosity."

Of course, Harry knew that there were many forbidden places in the Malfoy Manor, but perhaps because of his preconceived notions about the relationship between the memories of his previous life, he never thought that Lucius and Narcissa would "hide" someone in the manor. That is to say, Bella has actually been at your house all these years...?"

Seeing the expression on Harry's face, Drake's eyes softened, and he put down the orange juice in his hand. Drake raised his left leg and put it on his right leg, stroked his chin and said, "That's right. But I think , the word house arrest is more appropriate."

House arrest?crazy?

"You said, can we see her?" Harry asked, eyes lowered.The timing of Bella's madness and the attitude of the Malfoys to her over the years, these two clues are connected together, it is really difficult not to think of anything.

Draco understood the meaning of Harry's words as soon as he heard it. In fact, this was a question he had been thinking about before.Speaking of which, he knows a little more than Harry, so he naturally thinks further, but on this issue...

"It's very difficult." Shaking his head with some regret, Draco denied this idea just thinking about his parents' attitude.He grew up in the Malfoy Manor since he was a child, but he hadn't heard any news about Bella's current situation from his parents or met her, so it was almost impossible to see her openly.But if he wanted to go secretly, there might have been a chance before, but now that Malfoy Manor's top defensive magic circles were activated, he gave up the unrealistic idea of ​​going home quietly and going to see Bella.

Seeing that Drake said so firmly, Harry tilted his head and said suddenly, "Draco, how do you want to spend Christmas this year?"

Hearing this, Drake was startled—yes, he forgot so much, there was still Christmas.Thinking of this, he turned his mind, and then deeply curved the corners of his lips, "How about the two families living together?"

"Great idea." Looking at each other, Harry's lips curved into a nice curve, "I'm going to write to Mary now, and I hope she won't blame me for making her preparations useless."

"I don't think she would mind." Draco chuckled, thinking of Mary's obsession with magic.Speaking of which, Viri and Lucy have never tried Christmas in the wizarding world, so let's give them a surprise this year.

Overnight, the world was turned upside down.

This sentence can be used to describe Fudge's situation at this time.Just a day ago, Fudge was leading the trend of the news and public opinion in the magic world as a successful person, belittled James Potter, and tried to get him to leave the Ministry of Magic and give up the coveted post of Deputy Minister .But he didn't expect that just one day later, in less than 48 hours after that incident was exposed, the status of the two parties would undergo such a huge change.

Holding the letter from the Wizengamot in his hand, Fudge glanced at the headlines of the "Daily Prophet", with a gray expression on his face like a dying old man who had been dying for a long time.At other times, these news would not have given him such a big blow, but this happened now. In just a few months, the ups and downs of being suppressed—regaining power—continuing to be suppressed experienced rapid The loss of his body and magic power also caused him to collapse briefly at this time.

In fact, Fudge is still a strong-minded person with good abilities and wrists. Coupled with his aristocratic background and the support of family power, supplemented by the help of Umbridge and others, it can be said that he has been doing well in the Ministry of Magic over the years. It's booming.It's a pity that just when he was secretly complacent, James Potter returned to China, and he was the Deputy Minister of Magic as soon as he came back. To Fudge, it was like being slapped in the face in public.

Indeed, Porter's ability is impeccable, but if he was able to sit in that seat right after returning to China, if he said that no one was behind him, he would be as stupid as a giant and would not believe it.It's just that no matter how much he rejects a person, he has basic common sense and will not show his disgust on his face, but the jealousy of Dumbledore in his heart is even higher.

Although Dumbledore said that he was not interested in being the Minister of Magic, the actions of those around him all revealed a taste of "seizing power".

No one in power will meet those who want to seize power from him when he is still in power. Fudge is just an ordinary person, so although he doesn't show it on the surface, his subordinates frequently provoke and suppress Porter and others. His friend Black's development at the Ministry of Magic.

However, he took every precaution and let them take Umbridge's opportunity to go to Hogwarts, severely cutting his power.But even though he was annoyed at that time, he hadn't had any negative thoughts yet. After all, he had been in the Ministry of Magic for so many years, and he was used to enduring such temporary troughs.What's more, he also took this opportunity to clean up a group of people who were not loyal to him, including those "Porter Party".

But this time is different.

No matter what kind of suppression he received before, James Potter and his friends did not actually affect his son's status in the Ministry of Magic.Everything he did to Potter was coincidental and incidental—all along, his target was only Dumbledore, and he just hated the man who took the position of deputy minister at a young age.

But at this moment, as he held that thin letter from the Wizengamot, he really tasted what it was like to die.

what does that mean?This means that his career as Minister of Magic is coming to an end...

Doing his best to keep his body from collapsing, Fudge threw the letter to the floor and picked up the Daily Prophet tremblingly.The title is very eye-catching, which is Rita Ski's consistent style.

"Whose failure - the Minister or the Dementors?

……

...From all the above indications, Fudge's control over the dementors has reached the lowest point of the previous ministers of the Ministry of Magic's control over Azkaban, so the riots of several criminals in the prison can trigger the final prison break ...And after the incident, the measures taken by the Ministry of Magic are really not reassuring. As far as the information I have learned so far, there is a serious shortage of manpower in the Auror Office in terms of arresting criminals.And the Auror director Sirius Black's answer to this question is because they have been ordered to give priority to protecting the 'officials' who need to be protected.

......"

Fudge opened this page silently, and continued to look at the following articles.

"The truth is out—James Potter was acquitted, who is behind this inquiry.

... The inquiry into James Porter concluded yesterday afternoon with a satisfying and infuriating result.

'I really didn't expect such an incident of slander at the Ministry of Magic. ' Lucius Malfoy, the leader of this inquiry, said in an interview.He claimed to have received a confidential letter before raising the question, which contained a large amount of James Potter's 'criminal evidence'. Of course, it was later proved that these materials were all forged.But at that time, as a wizard who loved the magic world, he had the right and the obligation to ask questions...

…After the review was over, Lucius Malfoy publicly apologized to James Potter who was questioned, and strongly condemned those who secretly wanted to cause conflicts. "

Throwing the newspaper away with a snap, Fudge couldn't take it anymore.

The Azkaban jailbreak incident just broke out yesterday, but today the direction of the newspaper has changed.He really shouldn't underestimate James Potter's influence in the Ministry of Magic, even if he is suspended...

Taking a deep breath, Fudge raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the window.Outside the window was a splendid spring scene—this was specially made for him by the Magic Maintenance Department a few days ago, and he was very happy at that time.And at that time, Rita Ski came to his office specifically for a report. What did she say at that time?I can't remember clearly, they have given him too many flattery words over the years, so much that he never bothered to remember.

But now, it was this woman who had praised him so much before, using her pen to bring him an unimaginable disaster.

A letter from the Wizengamot?Indeed, it was terrifying, and he might become a victim if he was not careful.But that's really nothing compared to public opinion.

He is well versed in the hidden underground rules of the magic world, and therefore, he is not particularly afraid of the power of the law, because as long as his supporters are still standing by his side, all difficulties will not be able to stop him in the end.But this report by Ritaski gave him a signal—it seemed that before he knew it, he had already betrayed his relatives.

The corner of his mouth was moved bitterly, but the stiff muscles on his face twisted his face even more weirdly.

Adding insult to injury is indeed a common problem of human beings!

Slowly picking up a gadget on the table, Fudge stared straight at this gadget that was originally intended to be given to his family as a Christmas gift, his eyes gradually blurred.

The author has something to say: ah... After today, I may not be able to update for several days, because Xiaoyao went home, and my parents at home objected to my continuing to write novels during this period, so Xiaoyao could only come secretly. (Tears ran)

But Xiao Yao will still update as long as he catches the opportunity, but it can't be like Jiang Zi now, so let me say sorry first. (kneeling down and prostrating) But at most it will be updated twice a week or something like before, it shouldn’t be any longer, the ending, the little demon wants to write the ending!
