Chapter 535: Parting Ways

"Wait a minute! Peter Pettigrew is dead a long time ago! He was killed by Black thirteen years ago! You should know this!"

Cornelius Fudge started yelling again when Fish spoke of Wormtail appearing with Voldemort in his arms.

(ω)

Fish frowned unhappily when he was interrupted. He originally wanted to say that Wormtail was not dead, but then he thought about it and Professor McGonagall seemed to prevent him from saying it...

So he turned to look at Professor McGonagall, saw her shaking her head gently, and said: "Fish has never seen what he looks like before, but he is missing a finger on his right hand, and Harry and Voldemort They all call him meow.”

However, the small actions between Fish and Professor McGonagall misunderstood Cornelius Fudge. He looked back and forth between the two, then turned his eyes to Dumbledore, and suddenly sneered.

"I will explain this to you later, Cornelius." Dumbledore shook his head helplessly and said softly.

But Fudge now fully believed that what Fish was saying now was all signaled by Dumbledore behind his back. He sneered again, then folded his hands and stood aside with a cold stare.

Feishu didn't know what Cornelius Fudge was thinking. He yawned and continued talking listlessly. This made Minister Fudge more sure of his thoughts...

Because Maomao's smooth narration sounded too much like an endorsement.

"...Then Voldemort ran away, and then Severus found Fish and Harry and brought us back, meow... Ha~~~Ow~~~"

Feishu, who was feeling sleepy, yawned again, and then rubbed his eyes that were almost unable to open.

"Minerva, can Fish continue to sleep, meow? I'm so tired after transforming into a big cat..."

"Well, go to sleep."

Professor McGonagall patted Fish's head gently and said softly.

After receiving the agreement, Fish immediately transformed back into his tabby cat appearance, jumped into Professor McGonagall's arms and fell asleep.

Looking at the messy fur on Fish's body with distress, Professor McGonagall gently combed him, then gently patted and stroked his back, causing the sleeping cat to purr comfortably. Voice.

Cornelius Fudge was obviously stunned when he saw the pitted fur on Fish's body, and his previous contemptuous expression became hesitant, but soon he recovered and looked at Dumbledore with a straight face.

"A very good story," he said coldly: "If there is nothing else, I think I should leave. I will come back tomorrow... to hold an award ceremony for Fish. Let's go, Bagman." He said to Ludo Bagman greeted.

"This is not a story, Cornelius." Dumbledore stopped the sinking Fudge and the overwhelmed Bagman, and said: "Voldemort is back, he has restored his body and power, you and magic The Ministry must be prepared and take necessary measures so that we can still save the situation. The first and most important step is to get Azkaban out of the control of the Dementors..."

However, Fudge wouldn't listen at all. He shouted angrily: "Remove the Dementors? If I make this suggestion, I will be kicked out of the office! Half of us know that there are Dementors in Azkaban." Only by standing guard can you sleep soundly at night!”

Dumbledore still tried to convince him and made a second suggestion: "Send someone to deliver a message to the giant."

Of course, this suggestion was rejected by Fudge.

"If the wizarding world finds out that I have dealings with giants... people hate giants so much, Dumbledore... my career will be over!" Fudge was so surprised that he gasped and shook his head while stepping back. go.

"Connelly, you are too obsessed with your official position, which makes you lose your due judgment."

Dumbledore looked at Fudge with great disappointment and said seriously.

"As long as you follow my advice and take some steps, the Ministry of Magic and the entire wizarding world will always remember you as the bravest and greatest Minister of Magic ever. If you don't take action... history will also remember you. Remember: you stood by and gave Voldemort a second chance to destroy the world we worked so hard to rebuild!"

"It's you who are destroying everything we have worked so hard to build over the past thirteen years!" Dumbledore's commanding tone made Fudge feel like he had been pricked by a needle, and he became tough again, "I don't know you What kind of trick are you playing? Dumbledore is not willing to let an innocent child like Fish lie!"

"Do you think what Fish just said was taught by me?" Dumbledore laughed angrily, "You mean, even the kidnapping of Fish and Harry was planned by me?!"

"I didn't say that..." Seeing Dumbledore's anger, Fudge flinched slightly and muttered: "Maybe it was just some crazy Death Eater who planned all this in the name of the mysterious man. Fish and Harry was deceived."

"We were not deceived!" Harry shouted: "Fish and I saw with our own eyes that Voldemort was back! I saw with our own eyes those Death Eaters kneeling on the ground and kissing his robes!"

"I've heard Fish say it once. They all have their faces covered, right?" Fudge waved his hand impatiently. He kept making excuses, "Maybe they are not even Death Eaters, but just a group of people who worship mysterious people. The madman is playing a prank."

Snape strode forward, past Dumbledore, lifting the left sleeve of his robes as he went. He held out his arm to Fudge, who shrank back in horror.

"Look," Snape said hoarsely, "Look, the Dark Mark. I think you should know what it means. No one can cause it to change except Voldemort."

"Why do you think Karkaroff ran away tonight? We both felt the Mark burning. We both knew he was back. Karkaroff feared Voldemort would take revenge on him. He betrayed many of his fellow Death Eaters , and certainly no one would welcome him back among them."

Snape stared at Fudge coldly and said, "I was also there at that time, wearing an invisibility cloak. That person was Voldemort. I won't admit it."

However, Fudge, who was preconceived, simply didn't believe what Snape said, or he didn't want to believe what Snape said. He kept shaking his head and said: "That's enough, I've heard enough of your crazy talk, and I don't want to say anything more. I will do it tomorrow." I'll contact you again, Dumbledore, to discuss how this school will be run. I must go back to the Ministry of Magic."

"If you are so stubborn and insistent on having your own way, Cornelius," said Dumbledore, "we will have to go our separate ways. You do what you see fit, and I do what I will."

There was no hint of threat in Dumbledore's voice, it just sounded like a statement.

But Fudge seemed to have caught something, "Okay, okay, Dumbledore," he pointed at Dumbledore with his finger, "You have finally exposed your true purpose! I will not let you succeed. of!"

Dumbledore made no excuse, but looked with disappointed eyes as Cornelius Fudge pulled Ludo Bagman out of the office.

Most of this chapter is from the original text. Although some details have been modified, the general content remains the same. I also considered deleting it, but it felt like the plot was incoherent after deleting it, so I wrote it like this.

When writing a fanfic, it is inevitable that you will need to retell the original plot or even excerpt the original text, but this chapter has a lot of original content...

As usual, I have a day off tomorrow. I'll see if I can make a free extra chapter in these two days as compensation... By the way, it can also be regarded as a bonus update for the leader...

I'm such a clever little guy!
