Dumbledore, who received the message from the Ministry of Magic, covered his forehead in pain in the headmaster's office.

Seventeen Dementors disappeared overnight yesterday, and now he was asked to go and talk.

But this was really not done by me!

If I wanted to, let alone seventeen, I could kill all the Dementors outside Hogwarts in one night.

But the message from the Ministry of Magic has come, and I can't not go.

After a long sigh, Dumbledore stood up and looked at Fawkes on the bird stand.

Amid the sound of birdsong, Fawkes swooped down, and a pair of claws firmly grasped Dumbledore's shoulders, and then a burst of fire appeared.

Dumbledore appeared again, and now he was inside the Ministry of Magic.

Welcoming the wizards coming and going along the way, Dumbledore went straight to Fudge's office.

Bang! Bang!

Hearing the knock on the door, a middle-aged fat woman in pink clothes opened the door from the inside and welcomed Dumbledore in.

Then the pink toad retreated very tactfully and closed the office door.

Now she is not as arrogant as she was later.

"Cornelly, the disappearance of the Dementors this time was not caused by me."

Sitting on the chair, Dumbledore looked at the pot-bellied Fudge opposite him with a very serious expression.

Hearing this, Fudge adjusted his bowler hat and his expression became ugly: "If it's not you, who else could it be?"

"Oh, no, there's also that kid Ethan Adrian who can make 17 Dementors disappear quietly. Besides that, who else could it be?"

"You have to know that these Dementors are all employees of the Ministry of Magic, and they are all members of the Ministry of Magic."

This morning, after receiving a report from the person in charge of supervising Dementors in the Ministry of Magic that 17 Dementors were missing, Fudge's first suspect was Dumbledore.

When he first proposed to let Dementors enter Hogwarts to search for Sirius Black, he was very reluctant.

Now it is very likely that Dumbledore is protesting against the Ministry of Magic in his own way.

Besides, the relationship between Dementors and the Ministry of Magic cannot be considered as superiors and subordinates, but a cooperative relationship.

The Ministry of Magic provides a safe place for the Dementors to absorb happiness to their heart's content, that is, the prisoners in Azkaban can be tortured by the Dementors as long as no one is killed.

Correspondingly, the Dementors must ensure that the prisoners in Azkaban will not escape and perform their duties as jailers.

This time Sirius escaped from prison because the Dementors failed to do their job, so they were allowed to come out to capture the Dementors, otherwise it would be difficult to command them.

Originally, Ethan killed one-third of the total number of Dementors taken out this time. Whether they stayed in Azkaban or went to Hogwarts, they all had a lot of opinions about the Ministry of Magic, and Fudge was also very reluctant.Yicai was able to calm him down.

As a result, it has only been half a month and something happened again. How can you expect Fudge to explain this to the Dementors?

If the Dementors were to quarrel and go on strike, and eventually Azkaban's defenses would have loopholes, allowing the criminals to find a loophole and escape.

Let's not talk about the impact these criminals will have on the wizarding world after they escape. There has been no large-scale prison break since the establishment of the Ministry of Magic.

If such a scandal happened during his tenure, he, the Minister of Magic, would probably be recorded in history and be awarded the title of the worst Minister of Magic in history.

Fudge would never allow such a thing to happen.

"Cornelly, you should know that we are not the only two people who can deal with Dementors, and many magics can work on them."

"Adrian should have used the Fiendish Fire Curse, but he controlled it better, so there was no trace left on the train, but some spells targeting the soul will be more restraining against Dementors!"

Dumbledore looked helpless. First of all, he definitely did not touch the Dementors, unless he was sleepwalking.

As for whether it was Ethan who did it, Dumbledore could not judge.

The main thing is that these Dementors are not in Hogwarts now, and the two sides can't see each other, so how can there be a conflict?

If Ethan is unilaterally looking for trouble, it doesn't make sense. After all, it was the Dementors who suffered the loss last time, and Ethan and his group didn't suffer any losses at all.

Dementors can't get any benefit anywhere, there is nothing worth Ethan's concern, so there is really no need to risk offending the Ministry of Magic to attack Dementors.

But if it weren't for Ethan, who else in Hogwarts could quietly get rid of 17 Dementors?

Severus and the others can't do it. If it's easy to expel them, they can easily do it with more numbers.

But without alerting the Ministry of Magic staff and other Dementors, it is not easy to quietly deal with 17 Dementors.

The silver-white light of the Patronus can be transmitted very far, which can easily attract the attention of people around, especially in open areas.

So much so that even now, Dumbledore can hardly determine who the real murderer is.

After hearing what Dumbledore said, Fudge suddenly fell silent.

This made him think of a possibility. Being proficient in the dark arts is still related to the soul. Who else could it be except that ugly guy without a nose?

Instantly, Fudge could not hide the panic on his face. He could only comfort himself with words.

"No, this is impossible. Everyone knows that he is dead. This is impossible!"

"Albus, you said it is absolutely impossible for him, right!"

At the end, Fudge looked at Dumbledore anxiously, hoping that he could give him a positive answer.

VVoldemort!

Fudge really couldn't imagine what he would do if he came back during his tenure?

Can he deal with him?

Fudge, who had experienced that era, knew very well that the Ministry of Magic had been overwhelmed. If the savior hadn't appeared, there would be no Ministry of Magic now.

If he had taken office at that time, he would have been helpless.

"It's not that he's back. I can tell you this very seriously."

Dumbledore sighed and answered Fudge's question very seriously.

Dumbledore was not sure where Voldemort was now, and he didn't know how many people had gathered around him, but he was sure that he hadn't been resurrected, otherwise he would have made some noise.

Dumbledore knew Voldemort's character. The first thing he did after his resurrection was to protect Ethan and Harry. Now that neither of them had encountered any accidents, it could be judged.

But Dumbledore never expected that Fudge would degenerate so quickly. The Fudge who dared to fight and had ambitions in the past was really gone.

The power of the Minister of Magic and the comfortable environment at the moment made him greedy for power and cowardly.

In just three years, Fudge seemed to have completely changed. Power is really a delicious poison. (To read the violent novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

At the same time, it also made Dumbledore more certain that he must never touch such power.

Dumbledore knew that as long as he showed a little bit of such thoughts, whether it was his old friends, students who graduated from Hogwarts, or officials of the Ministry of Magic and members of the Wizengamot, the majority of them would definitely support him, and he would be able to ascend to the position of Minister of Magic in an instant.

But he couldn't do this, and he couldn't even send out any signals in this regard.

"You're right, it can't be him, he didn't come back!"

"That's Sirius Black, it must be him, he was hiding nearby and killed the Dementors."

"He must have learned some vicious black magic when he was at home, otherwise he couldn't have escaped from the heavily guarded Azkaban."

Fudge's voice became louder and louder, as if what he said about 927 was true.

"Maybe!"

Dumbledore replied with some disappointment.

There was no need to argue anymore, Fudge was scared of Voldemort, and he was not as good as a little wizard in this respect.

If he waited until Voldemort was truly resurrected, Fudge might have made some stupid moves.

"I will arrange a team of Aurors to go to Hogwarts. You won't refuse!"

"And the Dementors. I will replenish them."

"This is all to catch Sirius Black!"

Fudge, who had already convinced himself in his heart, looked up at Dumbledore again. []

Originally, there were only two Aurors, who were responsible for supervising and controlling the Dementors, and the Dementors were stationed on various routes that must be taken through Hogwarts.

But now it seems that this number of people is obviously not enough, otherwise such a thing would not have happened.

As long as Sirius can be caught, all the difficulties he is facing now will be solved.

"Okay, but you still can't disturb the students' lives."

After a moment of silence, Dumbledore compromised.

Obviously, Fudge has made up his mind now. If he refuses, there will definitely be a conflict.

The disappearance of the Dementors will also be blamed on him.

"Okay, I can guarantee you this. The Dementors will never enter the Hogwarts castle."

Fudge immediately agreed happily. Anyway, he only said that he could not enter the castle.

If the little wizard is accidentally injured outside, it can't be blamed on the Ministry of Magic.

As for blaming the Dementors, they are also trying to maintain the stability of the wizarding world. They just didn't have enough intelligence and did something wrong. Why do you bother with these beasts?

Dumbledore also heard Fudge's hidden meaning, but at this moment he could only nod in agreement.

"Albus, you can leave first. I still have to appease the Dementors and then arrange the Aurors. I don't have time to send you out.".
