It's just a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Chapter 324 Two News Reports
The holding of the Triwizard Tournament will undoubtedly firmly attract the attention of British wizards during the whole year of the competition.

As for what the public likes to read, the Daily Prophet, the largest newspaper in the British magic world, will naturally report on it.

Even if Rita Skeeter, the reporter who is in charge of this matter, is now nowhere to be found, the fact that Harry has such a special identity and was hijacked during the game will definitely occupy the front page of the newspaper the next day .

However, something unexpected, in fact, on the second day after the game, an even more shocking news occupied the entire cover of the Daily Prophet!

Just the title of this news is enough to make people who see it wonder if the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet has gone crazy.

[Director Crouch, who has been missing for five months, declares: The mysterious man is rising again, and I am under the control of the Death Eater's Imperius Curse]

The content of the news is entirely recounted by Crouch himself. Obviously, even if the Daily Prophet dared to report this news, he did not dare to express his clear position in it. He neither believed Crouch’s words nor criticized him express any doubts.

In this report, Crouch claimed that after the end of the Quidditch World Cup in September, he was controlled by the mysterious man's subordinates using the Imperius Curse. They arranged for him to sneak into Hogwarts in an attempt to assassinate Hogwarts. The current professor of defense against the dark arts, Sherlock Forrest.

But the mysterious man's plan was not successful. He himself also managed to get rid of the control of the Imperius Curse and was imprisoned by the Death Eaters. Finally, with the help of Dumbledore, Sherlock successfully rescued him.

The entire report Crouch described in great detail without any concealment, and also listed all the names of the Death Eaters who imprisoned him and imposed the Imperius Curse.

However, the three of Gagson belonged to dark wizards who had long since disappeared in the magic world. Even if their identities were exposed, there was no way to directly find out where they were.

Today's Daily Prophet, not unexpectedly, completely exploded in the British magic world. Countless wizards wrote to the Ministry of Magic to ask whether Crouch's words were true, and whether the mysterious man was really about to make a comeback.

Even Hogwarts Central exploded on this day. Many students, like Hermione, subscribe to the Daily Prophet every day. They all got the news today, which directly overwhelmed the fact that Harry was attacked yesterday. .

Many daring little wizards came to Sherlock's office and asked him about the authenticity of the news. Sherlock didn't shy away from it and told them that Crouch was not lying about what he said in the newspaper.

This shocked the students in the castle even more.

And just when today's Daily Prophet was spreading everywhere, the current British Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, just got the newspaper.

After reading the entire report on Crouch, his knuckles that were holding the newspaper had turned white from too much force.

Fudge's usually fat, smiling face was extremely ugly, his face was flushed, and the muscles on his face were constantly twitching due to anger.

"Why did I get this news in the newspaper!"

The secretary of the minister standing aside said cautiously.

"We all got this news from the Daily Prophet newspaper today, and I will inform you as soon as possible."

In a rage, Fudge slammed the hand holding the newspaper on the desk.

"Crouch came back yesterday, why didn't anyone notify me!"

"Winches said that he had already told you about this matter, but you said, don't worry about him, and we want us to prepare a lawsuit against him for negligence." The secretary continued to bite the bullet.

Fudge's eyes seemed to be able to breathe fire, whether he was angry at Crouch or because of this new secretary who didn't know much at all.

"I want to know! Such a big matter, why did Crouch come to me to discuss it the first time after he came back, but wanted to publish it in the newspaper!"

The secretary hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively.

"Shall I call Mr. Crouch over now?"

After all, he is a professional politician, Fudge has now suppressed his emotions and looked at him coldly.

"You can go back to the horse people's liaison office now, and then ask the newly appointed secretary of the minister to call me the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet!"

After Crouch suddenly dropped an atom Dan on the public opinion field of the magic world without any warning, Fudge's reaction was also very quick.

The secretary to the minister, who was newly appointed for less than half a day, only knew that the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet had been in the minister's office all afternoon. On the second day after this heavy news was released, the new front page changed again.

[Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge: We have not received any news about the resurgence of the mysterious man for the time being, what Crouch said may have other purposes]

Fudge didn't directly deny what Crouch said, calling him fart.

Although politicians and street gangsters are both playing hooligans, the difference lies in whether they still want torii after becoming a bitch.

Fudge is undoubtedly a qualified politician who knows how to be a good bitch and get a torii.

He declared to all British wizards in the Daily Prophet that he had not received any news of the You-Know-Who's resurrection, and he had no way of knowing whether what Crouch said was true.

But what he knew was that Crouch had always held a grudge against him for not becoming the Minister of Magic back then, and wanted to use various means to bring him down, and this political struggle, which was originally internal, seemed to have spread to the Among the wizarding crowd.

Fudge didn't say Crouch was farting, but he said Crouch was farting throughout.

On this report, the Daily Prophet, who did not express its position yesterday, gave a "comment" below

To put it simply, it is to persuade Minister Fudge and Director Crouch that it is best not to affect the normal order of the magic world, communicate rationally, and leave the problem to be resolved internally.

Such reviews are disgusting.

It seems that he is acting as a peacemaker, but in fact, he is completely helping Fudge to speak, and directly takes what Fudge said as an established fact.

This made most of the British wizards subconsciously believe Fudge's words, and Crouch's reputation dropped sharply.

But there are also a group of people who were skeptical about this report and did not jump to conclusions, because according to Crouch, there are still two most important people who have not spoken out.

Dumbledore and Sherlock also played key roles in this incident.

The most important key is whether they admit the authenticity of what Crouch said.
