Hogwarts: Start with A Divorce and Marry Hermione Backhanded

Chapter 156: The Unlucky Prophet Daily

There were not many people in the hall, most of them were officials and celebrities of the Ministry of Magic.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while.

The banquet officially began.

Braun and Mr. Foley didn't stay long in the hall before following Fudge in his eyes.

Den.

The three of them sat at the table and chatted while drinking black tea.

Mostly Mr. Foley and Fudge are talking while Braun is listening.

"Looks like you've been busy these two days, Connelly."

Mr. Foley took a sip of black tea,

Fudge was pale, and his heavy dark circles looked like smoky makeup.

"Those damn guys can't wait to get me out of here right away!

And the pervasive reporters, full of thoughts about finding a big news!35

Braun looked on coldly, and he could see that Fudge had indeed had a miserable life in the past two days.

"I have shed blood for the Ministry of Magic, I have done meritorious service for the Ministry of Magic.

Now that I'm in a little trouble, the Ministry of Magic is about to kick me. ”

Fudge was still babbling.

Look at Mr. Foley from time to time.

But Mr. Foley smiled, but said nothing else.

Until Fudge finally stopped.

Mr. Foley put down his teacup.

"So, Connelly, you 150 want me to help you? 35

Mr. Foley asked with a smile.

"We are friends..."

Fudge was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"But that's more of a benefit, isn't it?

We were mutually beneficial.

Hear Mr. Foley say so.

Fudge knew that if he didn't bring out the real benefits today, he wouldn't be able to get what he wanted from Foley by playing the emotional card alone.

"Two locations! If I can continue to be re-elected here, I can take out two director positions.

Fudge took a deep breath.

Don't look at the director as a petty officer in the Ministry of Magic, but it's not that easy.

Just look at Mr. Weasley worked for the Ministry of Magic for more than ten years before becoming director, and then relying on the support of the Foley family to become the director.

You know how difficult the Ministry of Magic is to climb.

Another round of negotiations followed.

It wasn't until a long time later that the two shook hands and seemed satisfied with the result for both sides.

Seeing that everything was over, Mr. Foley declined Fudge's invitation to stay for dinner.

Braun returned to the lobby and exchanged pleasantries with a few Ministry of Magic officials who knew each other (afdc) for a while before leaving.

"How does it feel?"

Mr. Foley asked Braun in the carriage.

"I don't really like this kind of back-and-forth confrontation, and I don't like Fudge very much.

But realistically, Fudge is our best bet.

He has ambition and weakness.

Even careful thinking will not get out of our control.

Braun said his thoughts word by word.

"Fudge is a really good candidate.

Representative Foley agrees.

"But then it's busy!"

Like Mr. Foley said.

The days that followed were indeed not so peaceful.

The continuous reports in the newspapers, coupled with some cover-ups by the Ministry of Magic, made the wizards in the wizarding world panic instantly.

How long has it been since the last Dunlun City incident?

This time Voldemort is back.

You must know that compared to Dunlun City.

Voldemort is what scares wizards the most.

The Dark Lord has only been raging for a dozen years, and there are a large number of wizards who have experienced that period.

That sense of terror and despair that no one wants to experience again.

As a result, an undercurrent began to swell in the wizarding world of England.

Some wizards choose to stay closed.

I plan to stay in my own home and be a submissive citizen like the last time.

These are mostly pure-blood and half-blood wizards.

As long as Voldemort is still under the banner of pureblood, it is impossible to hurt them.

Others chose to flee abroad.

Most of them are Muggle-born wizards.

After all, there were quite a few Muggle wizards killed by Voldemort more than a decade ago.

Everyone didn't want to bet again on whether Voldemort would let them go.

There is not so much calm in the Ministry of Magic either.

Since the last time Braun saw Fudge.

I never got positive news from the newspaper again.

Either scolding Fudge for being too crappy, or pulling some peach news to give the Minister of Magic eye medicine.

Braun knew it was Fudge's rival at work.

Otherwise, a semi-official newspaper like the Daily Prophet would not be able to end up scolding the minister of his own family.

It's just that these insults have not been responded to by the person concerned.

Fudge did not say a word in the face of those accusations, completely without the high profile of the previous period, which made everyone think that the Minister of Magic was about to step down.

It wasn't until the scene at the election meeting that stunned everyone's jaws that people knew what a biting dog didn't bark.

"Cornelius Fudge 250 votes"

"Stringer 200 votes"

The old wizard in charge of singing the ticket called out the result with an expressionless face.

There was a lot of talk from the people present.

No one expected that Fudge, who everyone shouted and beat during this time, was not kicked out of the stage, but was re-elected!

After a moment's pause, everyone gathered around Fudge again to congratulate and greet.

Fudge also responded very enthusiastically, looking up as if to sweep away the decadence of some time ago.

Instead, his opponents looked like they had eaten, and they ran away in ashes without even putting the scene.

Among them, the president of the Daily Prophet had the most ugly face.

During this time, the Daily Prophet did everything it could to smear Fudge, and it would have been better to say that Fudge had been ousted directly.

But holding high and stepping low, Fudge couldn't say anything even if he was dissatisfied.

But now it's different!

Fudge was not ousted, but re-elected!

The reports of his own newspaper some time ago were all pointing at their noses and scolding.

Can Fudge not put his own little shoes on?

Thinking of this, his face became even more bitter.

But he couldn't go straight away, so he could only gather around Fudge and test Fudge's attitude while forcibly smiling and laughing.

"Congratulations! Connelly!

Representative Foley shook Fudge's hand.

As a united front, the Greengrass family needs to arrange things at home.

Ollivander didn't like the atmosphere.

Several other families have positions in the Ministry of Magic and need to avoid suspicion.

So this time the representatives are still the Foley family.
