"What are you going to do with these four guys?"
George pointed his wand at the four unlucky guys who were knocked down. They were actually very frustrated about their defeat. Before they could even react, they were tricked by Albert and his men.
There was no way, this was Hogwarts, they never thought they would be attacked, and what was even more insidious was that Albert kept using Black's affairs to attract their attention.
"Put a stunning spell on each of them and take away their wands." Albert waved his wand and conjured up a bunch of chains that tied up the four people tightly, making them look like grasshoppers tied to a rope.
Hermione was stunned by Albert's actions. She simply couldn't understand how Albert knocked down four elite Aurors in an instant, and why Albert attacked the staff of the Ministry of Magic
"Is this really a good idea?" George was obviously a little worried.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Don't forget, these bastards just released Dementors to attack us." Albert's voice was cold, like the chilly wind blowing in winter, which made their hearts tremble. "Put away your hypocritical kindness. If we don't know the Patronus Charm, do you know what will happen to you? If your souls are sucked away by Dementors and you become zombies, you probably won't have time to listen to my nonsense here."
"They should ..."
Hermione's body trembled slightly. She was unwilling to believe that things would develop in the direction Albert said.
"Don't tell me it's supposed to be. Since the Dementors are rushing over here, it means that the Ministry of Magic has temporarily lost control of the Dementors. It's normal for a few unlucky guys to have their souls sucked away by the Dementors." Albert turned his head and looked at Hermione and said, "The reason you can still stand here is mainly because my Patronus is strong enough to protect you guys."
"You are still innocent, which is good, but when facing the adult world outside the school, your thoughts are childish and almost ridiculous. I can tell you clearly that if you die here, don't expect the Ministry of Magic to apologize much. They will just find an excuse to get away with it. Even if a dozen Muggle wizards die, it won't cause much trouble in the wizarding world, and Fudge won't even have to resign." Albert's tone was full of sarcasm. "I hope this experience can make you more mature, so that you can pay less high tuition fees when you grow up."
Hermione was speechless after hearing Albert's words. These words also had a great impact on her. She found that she had taken things for granted before.
"You should have noticed that Snape is not among them. Who knows if this group of people are real Aurors from the Ministry of Magic, and not a bunch of cats and dogs in disguise to steal our bounty, or Black's accomplices." Albert continued to put the blame on them.
"Harry, Hermione, Ron, Albert, where are you?"
Just then, Hagrid's shouting came from not far away.
"Start."
Albert lowered his voice and spoke a codeword to alert the two hidden people. Then he raised his wand and released a dazzling ball of light into the sky. The dark night was instantly illuminated by white light.
Not far away, Hagrid, Dumbledore and several staff members of the Ministry of Magic were coming over here, and Albert even spotted Snape.
"Mr. Anderson, Hagrid said you caught Sirius Black?" Dumbledore's eyes fell on the sturdy cage and he frowned, but soon moved his brows to Albert.
"Yeah, I caught Blake, that's the guy."
Albert used his magic wand to move the unconscious Blake in front of several people so that they could inspect the goods.
"Oh, my God, you caught Black, you really caught Black." Minister of Magic Fudge looked at the unconscious Black with his mouth open in shock.
The Aurors had spent nearly a year trying to catch Black, but now he was caught by a student. Fudge even thought about how the Daily Prophet would mock the Ministry of Magic's incompetence.
"Can anyone explain to me what's going on with them?" A wizard with brown hair and gold-rimmed glasses noticed the Aurors who were tightly bound with chains.
"Oh, you mean those four dark wizards." Albert bluntly accused them of being dark wizards.
"Dark wizard?" the wizard repeated.
"Yes, this group of guys actually drove hundreds of Dementors to attack us. Look, Harry over there fainted after being attacked by Dementors." Albert showed a faint smile on his face. "Later, they claimed to be Aurors from the Ministry of Magic, but they couldn't produce any evidence to prove that they were Aurors. They also wanted to forcibly take Sirius Black away from me. I suspected that they were actually Black's accomplices, so I knocked them down first. Just when I was about to interrogate them, you came, and they were handed over to you for interrogation. Please make sure to catch this group of dark wizards in one fell swoop."
Cornelius Fudge stared at Albert in amazement, then shifted his gaze to Dumbledore beside him, as if he could not believe what he heard.
Dark wizard
How did the Auror of the Ministry of Magic become a dark wizard in the other party's mouth
"I suppose this is a misunderstanding?" said Fudge dryly.
"I don't think so." Albert glanced at Fudge and said to Dumbledore, "They released a bunch of Dementors, more than the number of Dementors that attacked the Quidditch field last time. If it weren't for my good use of the Patronus Charm, you would probably have seen only a few soulless bodies when you came. Excuse me, you are telling me now that this is a misunderstanding, are you sure you are not kidding?"
"He's lying."
Facing Albert's harsh accusation, Fudge said angrily: "If there are really hundreds of Dementors, how can he be safe and sound?"
"I have evidence."
Albert took out a crystal ball from his pocket and threw it directly to Dumbledore. This thing was the evidence of what Lee Jordan had secretly recorded just now.
Dumbledore reached out and took the crystal ball thrown by Albert, with the corners of his mouth trembling slightly. Of course he knew what this thing was.
The crystal ball replayed the scene of the Dementors' attack just now. The momentum was so huge that ordinary wizards would not be able to resist it even if they knew the Patronus Charm. But after a white griffin appeared, it finally defeated the troublesome Dementors.
the truth.
Sometimes it is so cruel, so cruel that it is unacceptable.
Fudge's face turned from white to red, and then to an ugly purple. Even the two Aurors beside him looked very unhappy. They never thought that they would put their faces close to the Aurors and let them hit them, and they were hit so hard that their faces were swollen.
"Apologize."
"What?"
Fudge looked at Albert in shock, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
"I think the Ministry of Magic owes us an apology. Especially Harry, he almost had his soul sucked away by those Dementors just now, and he almost died." Albert raised his wand and pointed it, and the crystal ball immediately flew out of Dumbledore's hand, fell back into his hand, and was stuffed back into his pocket.
"Mr. Anderson."
Dumbledore frowned slightly. He could see that Albert was not going to give up.
As for why, Dumbledore actually knew it very well.
The conflict between the two sides was obviously caused by Fudge's deliberate blocking of Albert's title, and Albert was not a guy to be trifled with, otherwise Hertog Dagworth would not have come to him to mediate their relationship.
But now it is different. Dumbledore knows very well how many people are standing behind Albert. If Albert really wants to cause trouble, Fudge will definitely be in big trouble. Just look at the crystal ball just now to know how well prepared he is.
"Dementors are indeed a great threat." Dumbledore gave Fudge a warning look. "Now that Black has been caught, I think they can be withdrawn from the school?"
"Oh, yes, Black, I almost forgot about it because of this interruption." Fudge wanted to let go of what had just happened. He was still too embarrassed to apologize to Albert and others.
"Let's talk about Black. Since I caught Black and you plan to take him away, shouldn't you give me Black's bounty?" Albert raised his wand and stopped the Auror who was about to step forward.
"We didn't bring any Galleons with us," said Fudge angrily. "Wait..."
"Professor Snape, didn't you tell me what I said?" Albert interrupted directly, "I remember I reminded you."
"I told you." Albert's question made Snape's expression even gloomier.
"Since you don't have any money, you can't take Blake away."
Before Dumbledore could speak, Albert continued, "If the Ministry of Magic loses Black, my bounty will be gone."
"Ministry of Magic..." an Auror was about to speak, but was interrupted again.
"I haven't forgotten that a while ago, a hippogriff escaped right under the nose of the Ministry of Magic." Albert bluntly hit the Ministry's sore spot. "If a beast can escape, let alone a cunning guy like Black."
"It was just an accident."
"If the Ministry of Magic lost Black and you told me it was an accident, who would I ask to compensate for my loss?" Albert asked in return. "I'm sorry, given the accident at the Ministry of Magic a while ago, I have to consider my own property."
Fudge's face turned purple, but he couldn't refute it because what the other party said was completely reasonable. Ten thousand Galleons, anyone would think twice about whether it would be lost in an accident. The worst thing was that the Ministry of Magic had a precedent.
"If you want to take Blake away but don't want to pay the reward in Galleons right away, then someone must guarantee it and sign to leave a record to prevent someone from cheating and directly deducting my reward if something unexpected happens."
"The credibility of the Ministry of Magic..."
"The credibility of the Ministry of Magic is questionable." Albert interrupted directly, "A while ago, many people wrote to me to congratulate me on winning the Wizengamot British Youth Representative, but it seems that the Ministry of Magic does not intend to give the award to me."
“Nonsense.”
"Many of my friends in the Wizengamot and the Ministry of Magic wrote to me. I didn't believe it at first, but if you receive a dozen letters, you will have to believe it even if you don't want to. After all, I don't think they need to lie to me collectively. Everyone is busy and no one would be so bored." Albert suddenly smiled.
George could pat his chest and guarantee that he had never seen such a smile on Albert's face, which made him feel cold in his heart.
"Once you hand Black over to the Ministry of Magic, you will have fulfilled the reward and we will naturally pay you the bounty. Since you don't trust the Ministry of Magic, let Dumbledore be a witness. It's just that the reward amount is a bit large and we still need to go through the procedures." Fudge didn't dare to talk about the previous topic anymore. Albert's words explained a lot of problems. He had a lot of friends in the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot.
Fudge didn't even have to think about this. If Albert really had no friends in the Wizengamot, the title of British Youth Representative of the Wizengamot would not have been forced through.
Fudge actually didn't want to continue chatting with Albert. He had been feeling humiliated all night, as if someone kept stuffing feces into his mouth, making him extremely uncomfortable. And since Albert could record the scene of the Dementors' attack, why couldn't he record their conversation
"Let's talk about other things next!" Albert ignored Fudge and pointed to the cage next to him. "Professor Lupin ran out tonight because he didn't drink the wolfsbane potion. I can only trap him here temporarily."
Albert raised his wand and waved it gently. The original cage began to melt, revealing the transformed werewolf inside. Angry roars immediately rang in everyone's ears, scaring Fudge and his group so much that they almost fell down from their seats.
"Thanks to you, no accidents happened," Dumbledore said gently.
"I have a spell that can restore Professor Lupin to his original form," Albert continued, "but this spell has not been tried on a werewolf, so I don't really know what the specific effect will be."
"It's the Resuscitation Spell. I've heard people mention this spell. Give it a try, Mr. Anderson." Dumbledore looked at Albert with interest. He knew that everything tonight was under Albert's control. He believed that Albert could easily handle everything.
"You can't?" Fudge couldn't help but ask Dumbledore.
"It is said that the spell to restore human form was invented by Mr. Anderson." Dumbledore explained gently: "The effect of the spell is to restore the werewolves who transformed during the full moon to human form."
"Is there really such a spell?"
The two Aurors beside Fudge were very shocked. They all knew what this meant. If there really was such a spell, the threat of werewolves would be greatly reduced.
Albert raised his wand and pointed it at the werewolf in the cage, and began to cast a spell to restore his human form. The spell was a bit complicated, and finally everyone saw a blue light hit the werewolf in the cage. The originally irritable werewolf suddenly twisted in pain, and soon his body twitched violently, turning back into Professor Lupin's original appearance, but the huge pain seemed to make Professor Lupin fall into a semi-comatose state.
"That's a great spell." Dumbledore looked at Lupin, nodded, and asked, "I wonder if you could share it with others."
"Of course."
"The wizarding world will remember your contribution." The wizard with brown hair and gold-rimmed glasses next to Fudge said to Albert.
"One last thing. As far as I know, the reason why Professor Lupin ventured out seems to be because he found traces of Peter Pettigrew and thought he was still alive." Albert said meaningfully.
Fudge was about to curse, but he held it back in the end. The series of events that happened tonight taught him to keep his mouth shut.
"Any evidence?" Dumbledore asked lightly.
"Well, this is the evidence. You can force him to reveal his true form. If he is an Animagus, his name should be Peter Pettigrew. If not, then what Professor Lupin said must be false."
Albert handed the cage to Dumbledore and said, "Try it. I don't know how to force an Animagus to change back to human form."
Fudge looked at the rat in the metal cage that Albert handed to Dumbledore, and his mind went blank for a moment.
