Ethan returned to the dormitory, lay on the bed, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

All troubles solved.

He took out the communicator and saw the message from Lance, "I will visit you at Hogwarts tomorrow."

Ethan replied, "Okay."

Then fell asleep.

The next day was the awards ceremony. Fudge presented Harry Potter with a prize of one thousand Galleons in public, and reporters gathered around him to interview and take pictures.

The Ministry of Magic seems to be deliberately downplaying the matter of Peter Pedilou and the wizard who attacked and pretended to be Moody. The media did not report the conspiracy that happened in the middle of the Triwizard Tournament. The identity won the Triwizard Tournament champion.

Or to promote the achievements of the Ministry of Magic, claiming how successful the Triwizard Tournament was, and successfully strengthened the friendship between Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the other two schools of magic.

In short, there was no bad news in the newspapers, as if nothing had happened.

Lance also attended the awards ceremony as an official of the Ministry of Magic, and afterward, while the crowd celebrated, Ethan accompanied Lance on a walk around the Hogwarts campus.

Lance put an anti-tapping spell around them, and then asked, "What happened to yesterday's message? What do you know?"

"I accidentally found out that Moody was pretended by a Death Eater, and Harry Potter became a warrior. It was also his conspiracy. He has been helping Harry Potter and trying to make him win the game. Then I Turns out, he fashioned the trophy into a portkey."

"so what?"

"I'm worried that that person is behind that Death Eater, and that person's purpose is to get Harry Potter. I'm worried about what he wants to do, or summon Death Eaters." Ethan glanced at Lance's arm, "I'm worried about your showing your weakness in public."

Lance nodded in agreement, "You've done a good job. Don't worry, he's no longer a problem. I've always been clean, like the rest of the Ministry of Magic officials," Lance hinted to Ethan.

"Of course you are, father."

After exchanging messages, Lance and Ethan returned to the social scene and continued to celebrate the victory with others.

Ethan noticed that the Death Eaters summoned by the Dark Lord yesterday, such as Malfoy, Goyle, and Crabbe, all expressed sincere congratulations on Harry Potter's victory.

Positions change quickly.

Without the Dark Lord, it seems unnecessary for them to continue to be enemies of Dumbledore and Harry Potter.

After all, Harry Potter is just a child, and there is no threat to them.Moreover, he faced the death curse of the Dark Lord twice, and finally survived.It's different enough that it feels like he's going to be great later on.

And Dumbledore is only the principal of the magic school. Although he has a huge reputation, he does not participate in the power struggle of the Ministry of Magic.He was wary of the Dark Lord, but he obviously didn't intend to catch them Death Eaters who escaped justice.Without the Dark Lord involved, there was no conflict of interest between them.

Instead, it was the greedy Fudge who was now a thorn in their side.

Fudge was greedy and demanding.In the past, in order to win Fudge to deal with Dumbledore, they also tolerated it by default.But now they don't need to deal with Dumbledore, so they don't need Fudge, the Minister of Magic.

Their current plan is to let Fudge step down, and then find an innocent nobleman to take office as the Minister of Magic, so as to ensure that their interests will not be violated again.

Dumbledore, who also has a politician side, apparently also received the friendly signal from these former Death Eaters.Even without any news from Azkaban or Snape's report, Dumbledore guessed in an instant that these people had also escaped Voldemort's control.

Or maybe they knew better - like Voldemort was really dead, that's why they were so brash about being nice to him.

Anyway, this represents good news.Dumbledore smiled even more happily, and nodded friendly to these former Death Eaters.

During the summer vacation, the news of Peter Pedilou was widely reported in the newspapers.But he didn't mention Harry Potter or the Triwizard Tournament, but only said that he was discovered recently. This person who should have been dead for more than ten years and was awarded the Hero Medal by Fudge has been living a good life.

It turned out that he used suspended animation to frame Sirius Black, so that Sirius Black, who had no dark mark on his arm and was never a Death Eater, was imprisoned, and Fudge's Ministry of Magic obtained the property of the Black family as he wished.

It was also for this reason that Sirius Black planned to escape from prison for more than ten years, hoping to find Peter Pedillo, the person who framed him.As a result, Fudge sent dementors to encircle and suppress him, and almost lost his life.

In short, the article is very provocative. People who don't know the inside story will think that Peter Pedillo is Fudge's man, and he framed Sirius Black at his behest.As a result, the last member of the Black family was imprisoned, Peter Pedilu gained the reputation of a hero and lived well in other places with the money given by Fudge, and Fudge got the property of the Black family as he wished.

The report also pointed out that Peter Pedilou was found alive recently, and his soul was sucked away by a dementor who did not know where it came from, and he could no longer go to the trial seat to name the person who ordered him.

It's almost obvious that Fudge sent the dementors to kill people.Everyone knows that dementors only obey the orders of the Minister of Magic, or the signed documents of the Minister of Magic.

This simply caused an uproar.

After Fudge became a minister, his reputation was not very good. Many people knew his greedy nature, and he was close to those former Death Eaters for their money.

So many people believed it.

After I believed it, I started to worry. Fudge has a record of framing innocent people for money. Who knows if he will do this again in the future?

Fudge came out in embarrassment to refute the rumors, saying that Peter Pedillo was not his man, and that he had only recently learned that he was alive. He also said that Sirius Black was tried by Barty Crouch and had nothing to do with him.

Everyone thought he was shirking responsibility.He deliberately let Sirius Black be tried by Barty Crouch, because Black belonged to a family of dark wizards, and Sirius Black was suspected of being a Death Eater. With Barty Crouch's strict and rigid character, Sirius Black would definitely be sentenced severely.

Fudge appealed to Dumbledore for help, but Dumbledore ignored his plea and instead demanded that he restore Black's reputation of innocence.

Fudge was absolutely devastated.This year was supposed to be a year for Fudge to be full of ambitions. He felt that he had completely mastered the Ministry of Magic and began to send his Fudge voice to the whole of Europe.

He led the Quidditch World Cup hosted by the British Ministry of Magic, and also led the Triwizard Tournament held at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the UK.

He felt that his influence was expanding rapidly, and everything was going well.

Unexpectedly, everything changed overnight.

Not only those reports, it shows that the Prophet Times is no longer under his control.

And inside the Ministry of Magic, he originally thought that all the important positions in the Ministry of Magic had his cronies, and the entire Ministry of Magic was like a finger to him.

It turned out that those were all illusions.

There must be other people behind those people. I used to listen to his instructions, that is the meaning of those people behind.Don't listen now, that's what those people behind it mean.Some people are not satisfied with him as Minister of Magic.

It's a pity he doesn't have many supporters now.

The commoner wizards who originally supported him and made him the Minister of Magic were very disappointed in him because of his greed and closeness to the nobles over the years.

Dumbledore, who once supported him, seemed to no longer care about the affairs of the Ministry of Magic after he became the Minister of Magic.What's more, his estrangement from Dumbledore and rejection of members of the Order of the Phoenix before can be understood by any fool, and Dumbledore knows it even more.

And the nobles, he'd be a complete fool if he couldn't see that they were the ones behind the attack on him.

He yelled at those nobles at home that they were gangsters. He praised him, followed him, and gave him generous political donations before, all in order to alienate him from his original supporters.Now that he has no supporters, the nobles can pull him down as they wish.

The Prophet Times seems to have got a lot of inside news from the Ministry of Magic, and the newspapers report Fudge's scandal every day.

For example, it reports how much money Fauci had in his treasury before he became minister, and how much he has now.It is obvious that through the post of Minister of Magic, Fudge has suddenly become a rich man from a poor wizard.

It also reported that Umbridge, Fudge's confidant, was an insignificant employee of the Ministry of Magic before, with neither the ability to work nor the qualifications for promotion.What a promotion she'd gotten at the Ministry since her extraordinary relationship with Fudge.It is implied that Fudge has an inappropriate relationship with the female assistant, and offers the lover a job she does not deserve.

Ethan was dazzled by the sight, but he didn't expect that the gift he left for Harry Potter would become an excuse for others to attack Fudge.

After breakfast, when Lance and Ethan were watching these reports together, Lance said, "The nobles no longer need Fudge, and the commoners have also disliked Fudge and no longer trust him. Fudge will step down soon."

Ethan understood, "Will you participate in the new minister election?"

Lance nodded, "Of course, this is my best chance. The nobles need a suitable spokesperson with a clean reputation, and I am the best candidate. Among the commoner wizards, my reputation is not bad, at least it will not cause trouble. Widespread opposition. Now more than ten years have passed since the incident with the Dark Lord, and the public generally believes that he has completely failed. In the past ten years, the aristocrats who have been exonerated have not caused any trouble, and the public has gradually let go of their attitude towards Slater. Lin's vigilance. As a nobleman, I will no longer cause public resistance. In the final analysis, it has always been the tradition in the magic world that the nobles command the Ministry of Magic. Now Fudge's greed and dereliction of duty are what the people hate more. The Minister for Magic will not be reckless in order to make money."

"So do you have any competitors?"

"Rufus Scrimgeour, he is the leader of the Aurors, and he is very prestigious among the Aurors. It's a pity that he is not a candidate that the nobles will appreciate, and even the common people think he is too tough. If in war In times of peace, he would be the best leader. But in peacetime, no one in the magic world would welcome such a Minister of Magic."

Although Lance did not explicitly say that he would definitely be elected as the Minister of Magic, what he said meant that he would definitely win.

Ethan was also a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that everything he did would cause some chain reactions.It was able to make Lance achieve his expectations.

But Ethan also hated Fudge, so it wasn't too bad a result for him.
