Ivan suddenly realized that according to the werewolf Fenrir Greyback and the dark wizard, the person who paid them Gallon was Lucius Malfoy.
As an ex-Death Eater, Lucius must have known those guys, and only he could afford so much money to call them up.
The question now is, what does he want to do
Ivan didn't see any benefit to the Malfoy family. If he was found to be behind the scenes, Lucius would get into big trouble.
Something is wrong, there must be something I don't know about it.
Ivan hurriedly looked at Dumbledore beside him, his face was calm, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.
"Something has happened, but what does it matter to you?" Dumbledore's piercing blue eyes were fixed on Lucius.
"It has nothing to do with me, but it has a lot to do with the unpleasant news I brought." Malfoy said lazily, "Things are terrible, and you may not realize what happened."
"What happened?" Fudge asked subconsciously, he twisted his body, feeling a little uneasy.
"Werewolf riot!" Lucius said slowly, and he said shocking words in a calm tone, "While Hogsmeade was attacked by werewolves, there were also many attacks on Muggle cities. Tonight, on this unfortunate night of the full moon, werewolves spontaneously gathered together to launch an attack on Muggles. The exact number of casualties is being counted, but when I came, it is said that more than 30 people have been bitten The injured Muggle was rushed to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Wounds."
"What?!" Fudge's eyes widened suddenly, and his face turned pale instantly, "Are you kidding, Lucius, how could there be a werewolf attack? Until now, no one has told me about this! "
"This is my personal source of information, Minister!" Lucius continued, squinting his eyes, "The source of information is very reliable. I think it won't be long before the Ministry will report the details to you."
"That's impossible, all werewolves are under the control of the Werewolf Registry Office, they can't..."
Fudge stopped suddenly. Just an hour ago, under his nose, there had been a werewolf attack.
When Ivan and Hermione were talking about this just now, he thought it was these two children talking nonsense, and he instinctively didn't want to believe that this kind of thing happened.
But now, Lucius Malfoy also told him about this matter, the werewolves are not only planning some conspiracy, the attack has already happened!
Not just one, two isolated attacks, but werewolf riots!
How much Fudge wished someone would tell him that today is April Fool's Day, and he glanced at Lucius again to make sure that the other party was not joking, and the only illusion left in his heart was instantly shattered.
Whether he wants to believe it or not, there has indeed been a large-scale werewolf attack!
The ward was eerily quiet, no one spoke, and everyone was immersed in the terrible news brought by Lucius Malfoy.
Ai Wen was lying on the bed, his brain running rapidly.
He was analyzing the whole matter based on the information he had obtained. Lucius Malfoy summoned these werewolves to launch a large-scale attack on Muggles. What good would it do him
Clearly, Lucius' most pressing thought right now is to get Dumbledore out of Hogwarts, so how could sparking a werewolf riot help with that
Wait a minute, werewolves, Hogwarts, Professor Lupine is a werewolf!
Ivan suddenly thought, Lucius Malfoy probably knew the identity of Professor Lupine, right? !
But this is unreasonable. Except for him, everyone present knows that Professor Lupine is a werewolf. When he hired Professor Lupine to be the teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Dumbledore told other professors and others about it. Fudge, with the consent of the Ministry of Magic.
Even if they didn't trust Lupine, Professor Lupine wasn't involved in werewolf attacks on Muggles.
In fact, he didn't hurt anyone, he was safe, there was absolutely no sense in what Lucius was doing.
If he revealed the identity of Professor Lupine, at most he would drive Lupine out of the school, and Dumbledore would not be implicated at all.
Unless, he can prove that Professor Lupine also participated in this werewolf riot.
Ivan glanced at Lucius, with a smug, cold smile on his face, and a gloomy smile on Snape's face beside him.
Just when Ivan was about to say something, a big gray owl suddenly flew in from the window. It was the messenger of the Ministry of Magic, and it flew straight to Fudge.
Fudge hurriedly took the letter from the owl's beak, and he opened the envelope and read it carefully. From his expression, it could be seen that what was said was very bad.
"Dear Lucius, what you said has been verified. There was indeed a large-scale werewolf riot." Fudge's voice was not loud, but it was unusually loud in a quiet room. He turned his head to look at Dumbledore with a look of He said in a panic, "I'm sorry, Albus! I have to rush back to the Ministry as soon as possible to deal with this emergency. If you can, I hope you can... "
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
The door of the ward was opened again. This time it was Percy who came in. He rushed in with a panicked face and looked terrified.
"No, it's not good, Professor!" Percy panted heavily, looking at Dumbledore anxiously, his voice was trembling because of the excitement, "Go over and have a look, there are werewolves appearing in the castle Guilty, it is attacking students!"
Hearing his words, everyone held their breath and looked at Percy in surprise, the atmosphere in the ward was extremely solemn.
Ivan noticed an irrepressible expression of victory on Lucius Malfoy's face, which flashed past.
Snape, who was standing aside, was a little surprised, and then put on that disturbing sneer again.
………………………………………………………….. . ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Back to an hour ago, Harry was sitting alone in the auditorium.
Ron didn't know where he was going, he didn't see each other all afternoon; as for Ivan and Hermione, he heard Fred and George say that they went to Hogsmeade, and they didn't know what was delayed because of something. Haven't come back yet.
Colin and Ginny had just come over to invite him to sit down, but Harry had turned them down.
He just wanted to be alone, his head was a mess, thinking about everything Professor Lupine had told him this morning, about his parents. Harry couldn't remember how he had returned from Professor Lupine's office to the Gryffindor common room, or how he had been dragged from his bedroom into the Great Hall.
He only knew that he was out of tune with the cheerful atmosphere around him, and everyone in the auditorium except him was happily discussing Christmas holiday arrangements.
Harry was indifferent to this, and even the news that Ivan and Hermione were dating and interacting in Hogsmeade from the Hufflepuff dining table did not distract him.
He stared blankly at the dinner plate in front of him, thinking about his parents and Sirius Black in his head.
