Harry Potter: This savior is a bit bad

Chapter 297 The storm is rising

Therefore, the Crouch family's secret plan to hide the prisoner of Azkaban in their home was accidentally revealed.

Fudge had originally taken advantage of the situation to get to the top, and this time he caught old Barty Crouch making a mistake again and directly demoted him to the bottom.

What is even more surprising is that the criminal that Old Batty is harboring is not just Little Batty.

When the Aurors came to search the Crouch ancestral home, they found traces of a tracking spell.

Following the clues, they actually found the trace of the prisoner who had been declared dead - Peter Pettigrew.

The news of Peter Pettigrew's successful escape from prison ruined Fudge's reputation.

He had to hold a press conference to express his sincere apologies to the public.

Although he cried and tried his best, he was considered not much better than old Barty Crouch.

As for how old Batty let the wolf into the house and how he happened to knock over young Batty's invisibility cloak, it is unknown.

All we can say is that planning ahead can lead to victory from afar.

Barty Jr. confessed to his father's actions.

He no longer wanted to live like a zombie.

He laughed nervously and said, "My master will trample you under his feet!"

He glared viciously at Peter Pettigrew, who was trapped with him.

He thought the other party had leaked the news.

Once Peter Pettigrew was temporarily replaced as the Potters' secret keeper.

Now, he believes that the other party has turned against him again for greater benefits and a stable backing.

Infighting will eventually lead to the whole thing being wiped out.

Fudge's position as Minister of Magic is in jeopardy due to his rapidly declining reputation.

He hated them both.

As a result, how to deal with the two became a problem.

The process of the live broadcast of the public trial is bound to reveal other trivial matters.

He returned to the office angrily, completely different from his usual approachable and amiable self.

With a bang, he slammed the door of the minister's office.

"Lucius? Why are you here?"

He was about to roar a few words when he noticed that the head of the Malfoy family was playing with the snake staff in his hand and crossing his legs elegantly.

He didn't understand why he would consciously soften his voice every time he saw Lucius.

It was obvious that the other party needed something from him.

Why is it him, being so humble?

"Connery, long time no see." Lucius rubbed his tense brows.

Connery is Fudge's Christian name.

"Have you... been waiting for a long time?" Fudge rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed.

His success in getting to the top is closely related to the other party.

He glanced at his desk and fortunately, there was no core confidential information.

How could Lucius not see that Fudge was in a bad mood?

So he got straight to the point: "Connery, I heard you roaring outside the door. This is very unlike you..."

Fudge sat down in his desk and slammed his hands on the table.

"If everyone was like you... I mean the Malfoy family, supporting me wholeheartedly... how could I..."

Lucius's hand covered Fudge's stubby fingers.

"It's needless to say such polite words... Is there anything I can help you with?"

Fudge did not pull his hand back. His emotions gradually calmed down and he lowered his voice intentionally: "It was all caused by old Barty! He brought his son out, and I turned a blind eye to it, but I didn't even take care of the aftermath, and it was exposed by the people over there!"

"The guy over there", there is no doubt that Mundungus represents Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix.

In recent years, Fudge felt that he had found his footing within the Ministry of Magic and no longer relied solely on Dumbledore's advice.

The flattery of pure-blood families like Lucius won him over even more.

To put it bluntly, Fudge has become too arrogant.

Lucius hid the smile in his eyes and replaced it with a worried look.

He comforted Fudge with a few words and got to the point: "Are you really going to follow Dumbledore's advice and hand over Peter Pettigrew and Barty Jr."
