Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

"Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue (

I have to admit that the Ministry of Magic has already moved quite quickly.

After receiving information from Rita Skeeter, Scrimgeour sent Kingsley and three other Aurors to the United States that afternoon, and Cornelius Fudge also simultaneously passed through the communication channels between the ministers of magic of various countries. A request for assistance in handling the case was issued to the Magic Congress of the United States.

No one can modify history perfectly, especially in a world where magic exists. It is a very easy path to prove from the results.

Facts have proved that Guidro Lockhart's experience in the book "Wandering with the Werewolves" was all "stolen".

The old American wizard had a bad temper and a slightly shabby appearance, whether it was from motivation, magical power, traces of surrounding life, witness testimony...all the signs perfectly matched the real historical events, verifying what Rita said. After the content, Cornelius Fudge wrote the manuscript that evening and prepared to hold a ministerial meeting the next day to directly issue an arrest order against Lockhart.

In order to prevent Dumbledore from countering in many ways, he emphasized the importance of confidentiality countless times.

Even Rita Skeeter, who was the "informer", stayed in London temporarily-the Ministry of Magic booked a room in the Cauldron Tavern and dispatched Nifadora Tonks to personally "protect" her , In case the reporter missed the news deliberately in order to gain eyeballs.

However, all of Fudge's preparations and thoughts were finally lost with the front page news of the Daily Prophet the next morning.

"...I admit that when I was young, I was a bit vain."

Guidro Lockhart was very calm in front of reporters, and did not deliberately avoid the dark side of himself.

"Therefore, as an author and an ordinary person who wants to be a hero, I tried every means to convince Mr. Robert that, after paying him a certain amount of Jin Jialong as compensation, he was shamelessly'turned into' the real attack. The magic hero who retired the werewolf. And with the "Wandering with the Werewolf" hot sale, I began to worry that the lie would be exposed, and reached an agreement with Mr. Robert to use the "forgotten curse" to permanently transfer the story."

"But after teaching at Hogwarts for a while, I deeply realized my despicability."

"When I was in class every day, looking at the immature and admiring eyes of the students under the desk, I felt that I was not qualified to teach knowledge as a teacher before facing the disgraceful history correctly, so I took the initiative to lift the forgetting curse. And accepted this interview."

And below the interview text of the Daily Prophet, there is a static photo of the "Story License Agreement" provided by Lockhart.

This undoubtedly succeeded in detonating public opinion in the magic world and directly locked in the first place in today's gossip incident.

In this case, the "shock evidence" of the Ministry of Magic has all become "after-effects."

Connelly Fudge didn't want to be a rice bucket in the mouth of the magical public. The Ministry of Magic had to use other evidence to preemptively speak.

Even from their knowledge, Guidro Lockhart has the illegal fact of maliciously casting the Forgetting Curse, but when the other party first gives an explanation, this matter will not accidentally change from an iron case to an iron case. Unclear jokes, that would be too bad.

"Huh... time, just a little bit short..."

Cornelius Fudge took a deep breath, but things are okay now.

At least Dumbledore should have not noticed the actions of the Ministry of Magic, and he also believed that Lockhart could not destroy and wipe out all his criminal evidence in just a few days. Using the information provided by Rita Skeeter, the Ministry of Magic can completely preemptive

There may be procedural flaws, but as long as the final result is not controversial, there is no need to be so restrained whether it is an arrest or a speech.

After pondering for a few seconds, Cornelius Fudge stood up and walked straight out of the minister's office.

He intends to skip the cumbersome process, and first use the information provided by Rita Skeeter as evidence, and directly convene a ministerial meeting to arrest Guidro Lockhart. There is no need to cancel the originally scheduled press conference. All that is needed is flexibility.

As for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...

Cornelius Fudge tapped his fingers on the desk and glanced at the "letter for help" from Umbridge.

Senior investigator? This helped him to share some pressure a little bit.

At present, the Ministry of Magic does not have the energy to care about "academic competition compliance" and "imbalance of power among student officials"...These tedious and ordinary Hogwarts campus activities require someone to hold Albus Dumbledore. Find a way to dig out something from Hogwarts faculty and staff.

Of course, although Guidro Lockhart’s "surrender in advance" disrupted the Ministry’s plan, it also gave Cornell Fudge the inspiration to sign the "Education Order No. 25"-he could It is logical to give the "senior investigator" some more privileges.

But he had to remind Ms. Umbridge not to waste too much energy on the students.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Castle Auditorium.

Just when Cornelius Fudge was furious, the breakfast table that day was also very lively.

As the Owl Messenger delivered today's "Daily Prophet", the little wizards also knew the reason why Professor Lockhart was absent.

Elena, Hannah, and Luna were eating breakfast while listening to Hermione’s reading the news. Compared to the little guys who were so excited and shocked that they didn’t even have the mood to eat breakfast, the reactions of the four of them were obviously flatter. Much... They had heard of these things a few weeks ago.

"So, will the Ministry of Magic interrogate or judge Professor Lockhart?" Hermione frowned and looked at Elena.

"I think it will, but not for this reason."

Elena shrugged and said casually, "But not necessarily, it depends on the appetite of the adults."

She is not an omniscient and omnipotent god, she just sprinkled sweet enough bait in some places.

As for whether the Ministry of Magic will actively bite the bait or not, it still depends on their desire for power. If they decisively stop after seeing Lockhart’s "confession" and choose the safest follow-up trial, then the Ministry of Magic at least You can continue a long destiny for yourself.

"But each of them has a reflection monster in their hearts, right?" Hannah asked Luna.

Luna nodded earnestly. Among several best friends, she has the best relationship with Hannah.

Unlike Granger, who likes to lift the bar, Hannah truly believes in her and the stories in "The Devil".

Although this naive school sister sometimes has misunderstandings, Luna does not dislike her-as the "principal and deputy" squad leader of Hogwarts second grade B class, Luna and her Hannah has formed a very close "symbiotic" relationship.

"The Mirror will never be full," Luna said softly. "The Ministry of Magic may arrest the professor illegally."

"Impossible." Hermione said immediately.

"In this world, many things are different only once and countless times. Don't forget, just a few months ago, Dolores Umbridge even planned to arrest the official professor directly at Hogwarts. And there was still no such strong evidence at the time—Professor Lockhart took the initiative to admit his problem with the casting of the Forgotten Curse. This testimony was quite subtle during the magic trial..."

Elena pierced Hermione's fantasy without mercy.

Unless Cornelius Fudge is hit by the Imperius Curse, with his attachment to power and his faint fear of Dumbledore, this opportunity to come to the door will hardly be rejected. This kind of true and reliable evidence, even if it is Lu Firth Scrimgeour could not see the flaws~www.readwn.com~ but..."

"Let's put it this way, the Ministry of Magic must respond, but it is impossible for him to accept that he is slower than the Daily Prophet."

Elena shook the fork in her hand and glanced at the newspaper in Hermione's hand.

"Anyway, in a short time, Professor Lockhart should not be able to return to his teaching post at Hogwarts."

"But I’m even more curious about how the senior investigator has changed... the temporary professor of grammar has now been replaced by Nick, who is almost headless. She is never going to examine a ghost, but the Ministry of Magic I will definitely let her take the opportunity to do something..."

Elena's eyes moved on the faculty head table, and Umbridge's face was not surprisingly quite ugly.

However, she didn't care how the toad was feeling now, and Elena wanted to know which professor Umbridge was going to take.

The Hogwarts faculty team has many weaknesses that can be digged deep. After all, no one is perfect. If it weren’t for Grindelwald’s face, in Elena’s original plan, it was even going to be straightforward. Sacrifice a wave of Dumbledore’s dark history.

On the other hand, she is also looking forward to Lockhart's self-salvation and transformation in this confrontation.

After all, compared to teaching at Hogwarts, this extroverted wizard is actually more suitable for those broader stages.

As for Umbridge, the Ministry of Magic will inevitably endow her with more rights under pressure... but the uncontrolled rights, coupled with imprecise rules, will inevitably breed the ugly thoughts in her heart—this is also the case. What Elena wants to see most.

This farce has to be carried by someone. With Umbridge's current authority, there is no way to bear all the scapegoats for the time being.
